Boom, rumble.

The thunder rolled behind the thick clouds, and the drizzling drizzle weaved a piece of white and flat and delicate stitches under the light gray sky, vaguely outlining the outlines of those ancient buildings. The dome that looms at the far end of the horizon should be the Fez Planetarium, because the lush bright green forest can be captured not far away, which is the world's largest urban green space Fairmont Park.

A faint earthy smell mixed with watery smell lingers on your fingertips, and the quiet and refreshing oxygen is slowly surging. The vastness and depth of the world extend infinitely in your sight. The whole city is quiet in the drizzle, and the quiet and simplicity of everything makes your mood settle down.

Philadelphia, a large city with a long history but gradually forgotten, still has the oldest, most colorful and splendid history on the East Coast.

When people talk about the east coast of North America, New York, Washington and Boston, and even Oakland and Miami in the south, few people will specifically mention Philadelphia, the once American capital and the oldest and most historical city in the United States.

This is the fifth largest city in the United States, second only to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; it is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, second only to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago; it is the seventh largest economic circle in the United States. In addition, in early 2015, it was selected as a UN World Heritage City, becoming the first city in the United States to be included in the ranks of World Heritage, once again proving the long history and brilliant culture of this land.

However, Philadelphia's special geographical location, New York to the north and Washington to the south, has gradually made the city "forgotten" by people, and seems to lack a sense of existence.

In the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the East Coast, Philadelphia's quietness and low-key rarely appear on the front page headlines, but it is quietly waiting for excavation and discovery like a treasure.

In order to boost the city's economy and popularity, Pennsylvania has given tax preferential policies, attracting many film crews to come here to shoot, such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Silence of the Lambs", "Avengers", "Wallflower Boy", "Fault in the Stars", "Fox Hunter", "Love and Elixir", etc., not to mention "Rocky" and "Philadelphia Story" and other classic works that are completely integrated with the soul of the city.

Last year, Sisyphus Pictures' independent work "I and Earl and the Dead Girl" completed the filming in Philadelphia; this year, "The Mind Hunter" also chose the set here.

Like famous film shooting cities such as Los Angeles, Toronto, and Atlanta, Atlanta also has a complete shooting base facility. The City Hall approved the establishment of a large shooting base. Thanks to Philadelphia's unique historical heritage, it is very suitable for shooting retro scenes from the 1960s and 1970s. The shooting base has various sets, which can meet the crew's strict requirements for those eras.

The story of "The Mind Hunter" took place in the 1970s. At the same time, in the story, Holden and Bill needed to travel between different cities in different states and cities. On the one hand, they exchanged and taught classes with local police, and on the other hand, they interviewed criminals of serial violence, which also made Philadelphia the best choice.

Of course, there is also a small episode here. After Sisyphus Films submitted a shooting application to the Philadelphia City Hall, the official staff of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia personally received the relevant person in charge of Sisyphus Films and enthusiastically invited them to come to Philadelphia with great enthusiasm.

Simply put, Philadelphia hopes to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Sisyphus Pictures to invite Sisyphus Pictures to base its shooting base in Philadelphia, and more works will be filmed in Philadelphia in the future, and they will provide more tax and fee reductions and film-related convenience measures.

In fact, this is an action to follow Atlanta.

Driven by Atlanta City Hall and Georgia, Disney, Universal Pictures, Netflix and others have signed long-term cooperation agreements with Atlanta. "Avengers 2", "Ant-Man", "Captain America 2" and so on were all filmed in Atlanta, and finally formed a brand effect, which has driven the tourism industry and the tertiary industry with amazing results. Of course, a large number of film industry-related talents have also poured in, and the number of jobs has also greatly increased, which has invisibly helped the urban economy to rise.

Philadelphia, which has seen significant economic fluctuations in recent years, also hopes to make full use of its existing historical and cultural resources to open up the situation.

Sisyphus Pictures is obviously a target worthy of attention.

Regarding the cooperation discussion between Philadelphia and Sisyphus Pictures, this is just an off-topic. At least, the "Mind Hunter" chose to complete the shooting in the city.

Compared to Los Angeles, Philadelphia's tranquility and peace are undoubtedly the biggest features, with no noise or interference, and even a sense of déjà vu, allowing the crew to devote themselves to their daily work completely and become more focused and calmer invisibly. This is a good thing.

At least for Cameron Brighton and Hannah Gross.

They are actors and fans of Renly.

When they are about to stand in front of their idols to perform, the contradictory feeling of expectation and fear will increase exponentially and twice as much pressure on performance.

They not only need to face their idols, but also face the "greatest" actors since the 21st century, at least "one of the greatest". At the same time, both of them lack sufficient performance experience, and the lack of classic past works on their resumes make them lack confidence.

They need to be alert and nervous themselves, and the working environment in Philadelphia is undoubtedly the best.

At this time, Cameron was quietly admiring the raindrops in front of him. The drizzle falling from the sky blocked her eyes like dense curtains. The cool and cold oxygen gradually calmed down the anxiety and burning in her mind, and then the whole world was left with only myself and my own thoughts.

Cameron could sense Hannah’s seat next to her. He turned slightly towards Hannah. “I can’t forget the opening of ‘Drunk Country Songs’. He just sat quietly in the same place, penetrated the screen, stared at the audience, immersed in his own world, and started singing.”

"He's Renley Hall, and Levien Davis." Cameron maintained a slow tone, not just sharing with Hannah, but talking to himself. "I need such moments. You know, 'He's Renley but also Horton' moments. On the one hand, I admire his talent, and he's the reason I became an actor; on the other hand, I look forward to the moments I show, and I hope to feel the excitement of working with him and make myself a better actor."

Just like competitive sports.

Only great opponents can achieve great competitions. Similarly, great opponents can achieve great performances. Cameron chose to become an actor. His ultimate dream is to look forward to being able to perform opposite Renly; now the dream has come true. Although the time is too early and he is far from reaching the top level, he still hopes that he can show himself in front of the "master" and usher in the moment of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

"Huh, pressure and motivation coexist. I have already smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, but my fingers are still trembling. Do you think this is because the tension cannot fade, or is it because of the side effects caused by the high nicotine content?" Cameron said jokingly, unable to help but smile.

"I guess there are both." A response from "Hanna" came from his ears, but not Hanna's voice, but a man's voice with a round and gentle tone.

Cameron's entire spine became stiff and goose bumps came out quietly.

"Many times, people reject tension, because tension may stiffen the muscles and fall into blank space. Hannah said slowly, her speech is not fast, and it seems that there is always thought in her tone, and every word is weighty. "But nervousness also means concentration and attention. The explosion of adrenaline can always keep people excited. We should relax and embrace tension."

Pause for a moment.

"Hannah" chuckled, "What a contradictory statement."

Cameron stared blankly at Ren Li sitting beside him, his nervousness became tense, and there was only a wave of tinnitus left in his ears. It seemed that his nerves might break at any time, but when he was extremely nervous, he relaxed, "...Of course. We always need to face our negative emotions. This is the correct way to become an actor."

Speaking of this, Cameron seemed to remember something, and he burst into laughter and couldn't help laughing.

He thought about it and tried to tell Lan Li what he thought, but after thinking about it seriously, he chose to shut his mouth again. The slightly surging emotions settled down, and the tone and speed of speech stabilized again. Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Lan Li with his eyes, "I can't tell you everything, because I am the one who takes the initiative, right?"

This is Edmund talking.

In the episode, Edmond firmly grasps the initiative, while Holden is the one who is led by the nose. Edmond gradually opens up a brand new world to Holden; now, Cameron is trying to take over the initiative.

He is not too slow, not too busy, and his pronunciation has a subtle sense of rhythm. Even under stress, he still sticks to his own pace and will not be affected or disturbed at all. Edmond undoubtedly has his own distinctive characteristics, while Cameron is entering the role.

Although it is still a little bit immature, and the content of the words and expressions are not fully in line with each other, at least it is very rare to not lose his rhythm during the conversation and face Ren Li. It can be seen that Cameron has a very profound understanding of the character.

Lan Li was not panicked, and smiled with a pursed lips, turned to look at the drizzle in front of her, and then said quietly, "I hope you can tell me everything. This is my purpose for you; but indeed, the key is in your hands."
