After entering October, major actors such as Evan McGregor got holidays and returned to North America, while George Lucas took the remaining crew members to start the outdoor tour.

Even if the various share of the later part is not included, the crew pays Ryan to reach 20 million US dollars, which is still a friendly price. If the director was not George Lucas, Pai Jinsley would definitely tighten the 25 million US dollars mark.

In this way, the crew's expenses in other aspects must be frugal. George Lucas chose all the few locations in Australia, which can save a lot of unnecessary expenses.

The place they are going to now is Newcastle, New South Wales, where there are both beautiful grasslands and clear lakes, as beautiful as the secret Garden of Eden, and very similar to the hometown of Padme Amidala in the script.

After getting off the train I booked, the staff who came over early had led the rental convoy to wait outside the train station. The crew was filming a super modern science fiction production, and there were too many equipment and props to carry.

Of course, relevant personnel were responsible for these people. Ryan stared at the silent figure along the way. After she got into a car, she walked over and opened the car door on the other side.

"The other cars are full, can I sit here?"

Before the person who was solicited for comment answered, Ryan got into the back seat of the car and said to the driver, "You can go."

Natalie put her hand on the car door, hesitated for a moment, and quietly took it back.

Anyway, he has been shaking in front of him these days, and it’s no big deal to ride in the same car. Just ignore him.

In fact, except for the necessary filming of the scene, she has always been stingy with talking to him, even if it is a quarrel.

Is it meaningful to argue in front of others? If it is a dispute like when I was a child, can I have other consequences besides falling in again?

Ryan knew where Natalie was, so he just sat quietly, enjoying the scenery of New South Wales through the car window, and occasionally seeing the girl's tight face from the reflection of the window.

The convoy passed through most of Newcastle and came to the resort hotel by the lake. It is now the off-season for tourism. There are almost no guests in the hotel. Looking from the entrance of the resort, you can vaguely see the beautiful castles and green grass by the lake.

I don’t know if it was the crew’s arrangement or the hotel’s unintentional move, Ryan’s room was opposite Natalie.

"What a coincidence."

When the door was opened, Ryan noticed Natalie's flashing eyes and turned around and said, "I promise, this has nothing to do with me."

Natalie didn't say anything and walked into her own suite.

Is it him? Is there any difference?

She leaned against the wall behind the door. The indifference and calmness on her face gradually disappeared.

I have always wanted to be independent and have always wanted to create my own brilliance with my own talents and abilities, but what about it?

Scarlett always thought Ryan protected her well, but she didn't know. When she was a minor, the guy mentioned the other side of Hollywood countless times in the letter.

She knew very well what influence Ryan had. She also knew what kind of help these influences would bring to her development.

Even if he does not intervene directly, the invisible influence will cover him. Everyone knows that he is his friend, and will not make things difficult for him for no reason, and will not easily dare to use those dirty methods on him. Even a great director like George Lucas treats himself differently from others.

These are enough to offset the darkness behind the glossiness.

Ten years of love have made her heart hurt. If all relationships are really cut off, these invisible existences will definitely disappear...

She never felt so confused and helpless, and she had no way to tell her thoughts. The only person she could tell was Scarlett Johnson...

Thinking of another friend she met when she was a child, the corners of her mouth trembled. It was a disaster to talk to her. No matter what she said to her, the girl in the rebellious period would only summarize it in one sentence - monogamy is originally contrary to human nature.

That night, without alcohol or drowsy sleep, she lost insomnia and tossed and turned until the early morning.

So, while standing in front of Ryan, Natalie hung two faint dark circles on her eyes.

"Have you not sleep well?" Ryan asked.

“I’m a little tired lately.”

Only one sentence left behind, Natalie walked into the makeup trailer.

Almost all the scenes of Anakin, Skywalker and Padme, Amidala, were shot here, and were also an important turning point in their relationship.

"That was my first love, his name was Paul, and I was only twelve years old at that time."

Sitting on the grass in front of the blue curtain, Natalie, dressed in Padme, fiddled with the flowers and plants around her and said some past events, "We are at the Youth Legislative Council. He is a few years older than me, with black curly hair and dreamy eyes, which are very charming."

"What happened to him later?" asked the young and young Ryan.

"I went into politics, and he chose art."

As he said that, Natalie leaned gently on his back, her face falling on her familiar shoulders. The whole process was natural and smooth, just like they had done countless times before, just like those estrangements and quarrels never happened.

"Hey, Nat." Ryan saw that Natalie seemed to be in a daze and patted her gently, "It's time for us to prepare for the next shot."

Drooping his eyelids and blocking all his eyes, Natalie slowly walked towards another arranged blue curtain.

"It's a pity that Brigo is not here." Ryan took the lead in jumping on the blue oval prop. After post-processing, it was the unknown beast that Anakin rode in the movie. "Otherwise, putting it on a blue curtain should be more comfortable than riding this one."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Natalie. The girl hesitated for a moment, put her hand into the slender palm, and with the force coming, she stepped on the strange-shaped "wild beast".

After the assistant staff walked away, she suddenly said, "It's just work."

"Of course it's work!" Ryan nodded in agreement and reminded, "Then hold me tight, this thing is said to shake very much."

The shaking left and right was not as severe as imagined. It was not until after the shooting started that Ryan discovered that he didn't know which genius designed this creature. When he simulated running, it was like a seesaw beating up and down. He wanted to push his heart out.

Although the prop was just bumping in place, Natalie obviously did not follow his advice just now. After a downward slid, she did not sit firmly and slid to the lower right.

Perhaps it was a subconscious act of protection. Natalie grabbed Ryan's hand randomly and grabbed Ryan's neck. The prop was already bare and there was no place to catch. Ryan immediately lost his balance and fell down with the girl.

Perhaps Natalie had just borrowed the force and fell a little slower. Ryan first hit the thick sponge mat, and then felt a small head hitting hard on the lower abdomen. The feeling that surged in that moment was definitely not a good feeling.

The crew members immediately ran over and helped the two of them up with all their strength. Even the doctors equipped with the crew ran closer.

"I'm fine." Ryan waved his hand to the doctor.

"Stay for half an hour."

After George Lucas' voice, Ryan walked towards the rest area, and Natalie passed by him. There was a barely apology, "I'm sorry, I've pressed you down."

"It's okay." Ryan followed her and said, "I think this scene can be modified appropriately. Nat, this is too dangerous for you."

“No need.”

Listening to the girl's faint voice, Ryan turned his head and walked towards the director's chair. After finding Lucas, he made a few suggestions.

This kind of scene has nothing to do with the overall situation. George Lucas just thought for a moment and changed to Anakin to challenge the beast alone.

Half an hour later, the crew started filming again, and Natalie became a spectator. When she saw the guy on the blue 'Beast', she felt extremely complicated.

She knew that Ryan had always complained about the script of the Star Wars Prequel, but because it was someone else's work, he never made any comments on revisions. In fact, this is one of the principles he has adhered to over the years...

Since you can give up some principles for yourself, why can't you give up those two women?

Her white and tender hands clenched into a small fist without realizing it. Natalie remembered the other side behind Hollywood's glamorousness. Is Hollywood really a big dye vat? Even people like him cannot avoid it? Why is reality always so cruel?

According to George Lucas' plan, the crew will only stay here for three days to film the scenes of being alone between Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala.

Although the filming of the previous two days occasionally had minor accidents, such as too many bugs on the grass, it was still very smooth, but on the last day, the crew encountered great trouble.

“CUT!”

George, who is not as irritable as a temper, can only be described as being furious, "Natalie, you are kissing! Do you understand, it's kissing! It's not for you to take poison! Is kissing Ryan a very difficult thing?"

"Has she never kissed Ryan?" The director also went on a gossip, but this sentence just flashed through his heart.

There are only two scenes left today, including scenes of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala kissing. Even if Natalie is smart, she is just a twenty-year-old girl. With her current mood, the result of facing this scene can be imagined.

"Sorry, Director Lucas." Natalie closed her eyes tightly, "I promise, I will adjust it as soon as possible."

"You have promised it almost twenty times!" Lucas obviously hadn't his anger. Every time he NG, it was not only time, but also money!

"Nate... may not be very used to it." Ryan said to her and pulled the girl's arm and walked into the castle by the lake. "Let's do this, George, let me talk to Nat alone."

"Stay for half an hour!"

"What do you want to do?" Turning into a place where everyone couldn't see it, Natalie broke free from Ryan's palm, "We have nothing to talk about."
