Chapter 360: Juliet's Morning, Filming Completed

"Good morning Link!"

The next morning, Juliette Binoche got up early, said hello to Link who was out for morning exercise, and then went to Emmanuelle Béart's room, ready to have breakfast with her and take them to visit the city's attractions later.

She had no scenes this morning and had time to spend with Emmanuelle and Sophie who had come from afar.

Arriving at the door of Emmanuel's room, she knocked three times, but there was no response from inside.

Juliet was a little confused. Is he not here?
After returning to the hotel room, she used her cell phone to call Emmanuel. She called twice but still couldn't get through. She was a little anxious. The city of Florence was quite chaotic, and robberies and rapes often occurred. Could something have happened to Emmanuel?
She quickly called Sophie and told her that Emmanuelle was missing.

On the phone, Sophie told her in a lazy and hoarse voice not to be nervous, Emmanuel was sleeping next to her and had not woken up yet.

"Aiman, are you there? Aren't you in Link's room?"

Juliet was confused for a second, then suddenly opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "God, you were together last night?"

"Aiman also likes Link, you know, so... they're together."

Sophie Marceau said nonchalantly.

Juliet was a little bit unbelievable, she knew that Emmanuel admired Link, but she didn't expect Emmanuel to climb into Link's bed so quickly.

"Sophie, Link is your boyfriend, do you mind if he does this?"

"Don't mind. We had a lot of fun last night. I was planning to invite you to join us, but I didn't know if you were willing, so I didn't bother you. If you're willing, I'll call you in the evening."

Sophie laughed.

"No! Don't fight, it's too confusing and sounds weird."

Juliet felt her face getting hot.

"It's up to you. I'm too tired. I need to sleep a little longer. We can talk again when we wake up."

"All right!"

Juliet hung up the phone, changed into sportswear and went to the hotel gym to exercise, where she happened to meet Link.

He was wearing a sports T-shirt and shorts, jogging on the treadmill, swinging his arms quickly, his long and strong thighs moving briskly on the running belt, looking very fierce, like a sprinter at a sports meet.

Juliet did three sets of sit-ups on the psoas, and when she stopped to rest, Link still didn't slow down.

She looked at Link's sturdy and strong figure in surprise. Thinking of what Sophie had just said on the phone that Emmanuelle fainted three times last night and was going to ask her for help, Juliet couldn't help biting her lower lip and secretly cursing him as a pervert.

After exercising in the gym for a while, Juliet was sweating all over. After Link left, she returned to the hotel room and read the newspaper for a while. Guessing that Link had gone to the crew, she changed her clothes and went to Sophie's room and knocked on the door.

Sophie had already gotten up, with her long, fluffy golden hair and wearing a loose nightgown. She was leaning lazily on the sofa, drinking milk and eating breakfast. Her originally delicate cheeks were full of spring, showing that she had a good time last night.

"Where's Aiman?"

Juliet asked.

Sophie pointed in the direction of the bedroom with her chin. Juliet walked into the bedroom and came out after a few minutes. Her cheeks turned red. "Don't we need to go to the hospital? Aiman looks..."

Juliet didn't know how to describe Emmanuelle's condition at this moment. Her hair was messy and her body was covered with many red and swollen marks. She looked like a damaged Barbie doll, but her complexion was very good and she had a satisfied smile on her face when she slept. In short, she gave people a very strange feeling.

"It's okay, she's just too tired, she just needs to rest for a day."

Sophie laughed.

Juliet looked at her strangely, "Sophie, you were so love-brained before, but how come you started to act crazy after following Link? You played so crazy and even dragged Aiman into it."

Sophie smiled and ate her croissant. "I couldn't accept this at first, but last time I traveled to Venice, Monica, Link and I were together. We felt very good afterwards. It was much more interesting than just Link and I. We were very happy. This is good."

"You've fallen."

Juliet pointed at her with a blushing face, but this was Sophie's private matter and she was not going to interfere.

She planned to persuade Emmanuelle after she woke up. Emmanuelle had just climbed onto Link's bed, and the entanglement was not deep, so there was still a chance to stop at this time.

It's a pity that her plan failed to come true.

After Emmanuel woke up, he didn't listen to her at all. He was only concerned with talking to Sophie about Link. He excitedly praised Link for being so powerful, like Superman. He spoke very bluntly, and Juliet blushed when she heard it.

When she went to the crew to film in the afternoon, the two people's words were still echoing in her mind, which made her unable to concentrate on filming. She had 6 NGs in a row and was criticized by Link with a dark face.

"Juliet, you used to be the best performer in the crew, and you passed many scenes in one take. Today's scene is very simple, why can't you pass it after shooting for so long? If you are not in good condition, I can give you a day off."

Link took off his bucket hat and fanned himself with it.

Juliet glared at Link angrily. If it weren't for Link's recklessness, she wouldn't have heard those strange things, let alone been distracted by them. Now she was being criticized by Link. It was so unfair.

"No, give me ten minutes, I will be able to adjust."

"Okay, I'll give you half an hour. We'll shoot 'Kip''s scenes first."

Lin Ke waved his hand and asked Yu Feihong to notify the rest of the crew to start filming the next scene.

During the break in filming, he received a call from his assistant Annie in Los Angeles. There were still 12 days before "The Sixth Sense" was released, and she asked him if he wanted to come back to attend the premiere, and the office had made arrangements in advance.

Link said he couldn't make it as the crew still had 15 days to shoot the remaining scenes and he couldn't make it back next week, but he could participate in the movie promotion activities in the second week.

Annie agreed and reported on last week’s movie box office performance.

In its third week of release, "Paranormal Activity 2" earned $2774 million from 1663 theaters in North America, a significant drop in box office revenue compared to the previous two weeks.

There are three reasons for the sharp drop in box office.

First, the film was shown in more than 3,000 theaters in the first two weeks, sucking up most of the box office revenue in the market. Audiences who were interested in the film had basically seen it, and the box office performance was expected to drop further in the coming weeks.

The second is that recent news in the entertainment industry is very unfriendly to Guess the Movies.

After the huge success of "Paranormal Activity 2", many media outlets began to publicize negative reports about Guess Pictures, claiming that "Paranormal Activity 2" was of low quality and that its box office success was entirely due to media hype.

This rumor dampened the audience's enthusiasm to a certain extent.

Third, two movies with good reputation were released this week, which also attracted a lot of attention.

One is the political romance "White House Romance" co-produced by Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures. It tells the story of President Andrew falling in love with an environmentalist. The film stars Oscar winner Michael Douglas and actress Annette Bening.

It earned $2031 million in 1482 theaters in its first week, ranking second in the weekly box office.

The second is the thriller "Brooklyn Vampire" produced by Paramount Pictures, which tells the story of vampire Max coming to New York City to find a suitable partner in order to reproduce the next generation.

The film, starring famous comedy stars Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett, was released in 2307 in its first week and earned $771 million in the first week, ranking third in the weekly box office.

In addition, there are some competitive movies that are still in theaters, such as "Get Shorty," "The Flash," "The Man Who Knew Too Much," and "Non-Powerful Aphrodisiac."

The competition for box office this week is no less intense than that during the summer vacation.

After hanging up the phone, Link continued filming, first filming the scene where Kip explained the principles of minesweeping, and then filming Hannah's reaction. This time Juliet's performance was much better, but there were still problems. He called Juliet to give her some pointers, and it was considered passed on the second time.

Link led the crew to shoot in Florence, Italy for 25 days. After finishing the field hospital plot, he led the crew to shoot in Lyon, France for five days. "The English Patient" was successfully completed. It took a total of 76 days, which is the longest time-consuming one among the 10 films shot by Link.

The main reason is that the artistic level of this film is very high. The film narrates the story in a montage way that interweaves time and space and intersects themes of love. Love and war, memories and reality are all well-organized. It has both a magnificent historical narrative and a delicate and moving love story.

In order to capture that kind of delicate and implicit style and profound connotation, every shot must be strictly controlled during the shooting process and the film must be meticulously crafted.

The most time-consuming thing about doing this is undoubtedly time.

After filming "The English Patient", Link and his crew returned to Los Angeles to rest and participate in the promotion of the movie "The Sixth Sense".
