[US Entertainment] Best Director

Prairie hung up the phone.

Pack Ennio's clothes into a box and throw them into the corner.

Take out the cigarette that has not been smoked for a long time from the drawer, and hold it at your fingertips.

In the evening, the whole street is filled with a warm yellow afterglow.

Opening the window, she leaned halfway on the window rail, watching the passing traffic.

In fact, since she fell in love with Ennio, she has always had an unrealistic feeling.

Ennio is wise, gentle, and soft, almost in line with all her imagination of a partner, but because he is too perfect, she always feels that she does not seem to be worthy of him.

She admits that she has flaws in her character. She may be eager to meet people for a while, but this enthusiasm will not last long, and she will calm down soon.

Too close a relationship with people will always make her uncomfortable.

After smoking a cigarette, Prairis closed the window.

left the apartment.

A plane ticket flew back to Crander Manor.

Ms. Jory is already waiting in the study.

There was a firewood burning in the fireplace in the corner, and there was a salad.

Prairie was wearing a gray sweater today, and the firelight made her skin look fairer.

Ms. Jory looked at Prairie.

Her eyes were ice blue, and her quiet gaze fell on Prairis' cheeks and shoulders.

For a long time, the old-fashioned thin lips slightly raised an almost undetectable arc, as if recalling some good memories.

Eventually, she said.

"You are becoming more and more like your mother."

He pointed to the chair on the right side of the study.

"sit."

Prairis sat down in his seat and was silent for a long time.

Ms. Jory took off her glasses and said bluntly.

"Mr. Sagan was found by me for all her mother's debts."

"You are really generous." Prairis said sarcastically.

"I thought you liked him."

"Once." Prairis replied blankly.

Looking at Ms. Jory, she asked again.

"Why are you doing this?"

Ms. Jory was silent for a moment without answering.

Prairis stood up, as if determined to wait for an answer.

Lady Jory's eyes wandered from Prairice's cheeks to her gray-blue eyes.

A long time, she said.

"You are as stubborn as your mother."

Ms. Jory stood up and walked over to Prairie's side.

Handed her a check.

Preris held the check and looked at the woman in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you want to send me a check?"

Prairius dropped the check on the floor.

On the ground of Nuoda, lay a check that had just been torn off.

There are wrinkles on the edges, which shows how much effort the person who threw it made.

Ms. Jory didn't speak, and didn't even have a superfluous expression. She glanced indifferently at the check thrown on the ground, and finally stopped her gaze on Prairis's face, and waved her hand.

The servants flocked to invite Prairis out.

Through the glass, Jory watched Prairis drift away.

Silence for a long time.

It wasn't until the gray figure disappeared at the other end of the road that he sat back to his original position.

Opened the bottom drawer.

A milky white photo frame is placed upside down in between.

The edge of the photo frame has been yellowed, but it is not worn, which shows the owner's daily care.

Pick it up gently.

Jory stroked the cheek of the woman in the frame who looked like Prairie.

She rubbed the mirror, and finally rested her fingertips on the woman's signature.

"Selma Gray Crander"

——The biggest regret in her life.

Almost reverently, she kissed the woman in the frame.

The coolness came from the fingers, through the lips, to the bottom of the heart.

She rubbed the frame of the mirror with her fingertips until the servant in charge rang the bell in front of the door to signal the arrival of a guest.

Jory carefully put the photo frame back in the drawer, checked repeatedly, and then left.

After Prairius returned to his apartment in London, he sent all of Ennio's belongings to his home in France.

On the day he was about to leave England, Pryris received another letter.

From Ms. Jory.

After thinking for a long time, I still opened it.

Inside the envelope, apart from the check she threw on the ground that day, there was also a letter with several pieces of letter paper mixed in.

letter.

The letter is old and the paper is yellowed.

But the moment it was opened, Praris recognized it.

It was in the handwriting of her mother, Selma Gray Crander.

The feeling of wonder suddenly rose.

She stroked the letter paper almost incredulously.

Until you read the contents of the letter.

"Dear Jory:

Long time no see, how are you?

I went to his estate with my husband, it's big, but a bit deserted, and I've planted some roses here, but it's just a few buds now, but I think it will grow, it won't be long, Maybe it will be next summer, and I must invite you over then.

By the way, I recently invested in a movie, the director is Quentin Carentino, an American boy from Tennessee, I am quite optimistic about him, I wanted to go to the scene to supervise the production, but Crander would not let me go, He always said that I don't want me to worry about these boring things, but how can it be a boring thing to supervise the birth of a great work?I always have no common language with him.

Missing you Thelma. "

A lot of letters.

A thick stack.

Prairis felt sweaty palms when he turned it over.

until the last page is reached.

Unlike other letter papers, the handwriting on this paper is extremely scribbled.

Pick it up and read.

"Dear Jory:

I think Klander is having an affair. He always comes back late recently and smells of alcohol.Yesterday I rummaged through his pocket and found a handkerchief with a lip print on it.

I really don't know what to do.

Recently, my body is not feeling well. The doctor said that it is the reason of the child's full term, but I am always afraid.

unprecedented.

Thelma awaits your return. "

The last letter was dated July 1988.

The following month, her mother died of dystocia.

Her father, Klander Sr., was on vacation in Sweden with his new love, Doris.

After a long silence, Prairis stuffed the letter back into the envelope.

Looking at the check outside the letter paper, he was silent.

She understood what Ms. Jory meant by sending them.

But the only thing she didn't guess was Ms. Jory's relationship with her mother.

After knowing this relationship, everything becomes explainable.

Why Ms. Jory hasn't been against her hobbies.

Why is Ms. Jory always caring about her every move even though her eyes are cold.

Why did Ms. Jory rent Ennio and fall in love with her.

She is very similar to her mother, regardless of appearance, personality, or hobbies.

While Ms. Jory was relieved, she was also afraid that she would go the same way as her mother. In order to ensure "safety", she personally chose a suitable partner and taught her what love is.

But Prairie still couldn't forgive Ms. Jory for her actions.

Love under such a lease relationship always seems a bit cheap.

After a long silence, Prairis tore up the check, stuffed the envelope into his bag, and set foot on the road to Hollywood.

**

Before the premiere of "Avatar".

As the sound effects editor of "Avatar", Prairis participated in several different promotional meetings one after another, but when she participated, she stood among the many staff wearing a mask, so no one recognized her.

On the day of the premiere, Prairis took the movie ticket presented by James Cameron to the northwest suburb of downtown Los Angeles and the largest movie theater in Hollywood--Universal Studios Hollywood.

Walking through the poster wall in the corridor of the theater, Prairius saw "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Sagan", and even "Approaching Iraq"...

Haven't spoken for a long time.

Approach the theater.

James Cameron deliberately arranged the industry insiders for a meeting.

Looking over, I saw many familiar faces.

Arranged by her side is the famous Hollywood director Jill Netter. This year's "The Vulnerability" directed by him will also hit the Oscar for Best Picture and Oscar for Best Director.

Prairie nodded to him politely.

"I read your "Weakness" and it's very good."

"Your 'Approaching Iraq,' too," Jill Netter responded humbly.

The two chatted for a while about other films this year, until the screenings began.

Undeniably, this is an excellent movie.

As a result of draining all of Fox's working capital, the film is as visually and audibly as high as this century has been able to achieve.

Movies are an audio-visual art. As long as a movie has worked hard on vision and hearing, even if the content of the story is messy, someone will definitely pay for it. What's more, as a top Hollywood director, James Cameron's storytelling ability is not bad, even Can be considered excellent.

Excellent script, superb audio-visual language, the latest video recording technology-all of these have contributed to the unique status of this film in this century!

When the applause of the audience sounded like thunder, Prairis knew that James Cameron had succeeded.

In the previous life, James Cameron used this movie to directly push the IMAX3D technology that had been silent for more than ten years back to the market. This year, "Avatar" with Dolby Atmos is only more real than "Avatar" back then!Even more perfect!

"Avatar" is released, is the day when Dolby Atmos is popular all over the world?

Prairie seems to be able to see his bank account full of money after half a year's box office settlement.
