Hollywood Domination Chapter 415: The back of a gentleman
From the point of view of the story, the story of this movie must be a bit groundless. The origin of the crow and the reason for the existence of the town have not been explained, at least until now, and the style of watching the movie does not seem to be explained. Look, this is also the technique of art movies. How to interpret the symbol of crow is the job of film critics. The job of Jenny and Heath is to make the relationship between Mentos and Coke more authentic and touching. The transformation of characters in the plot is relatively rare here, and more is the self-expression of the characters themselves. And here, Coke's feelings for the crow have undergone great changes—unlike when she was a girl, she was still immersed in the ignorance of the crowd, and embraced an illusory sense of security. Now Coke has fully matured. She has more expectations in her life, and her desire for survival is stronger, and compared to her avoidance attitude when the crow broke in before, this time she is much more proactive, and even wants to go forward to fight it and drive it away.
As for Mentos, his performance is much calmer than when he was 16-in other words, he is not so desperate, but he is more strategic. The facility sprayed a cloud of steam on the crow, and Coke also picked up the rifle, pointed at the crow and pulled the trigger to drive it away.
Under the passion of fighting, the relationship between Coke and Mentos has undergone a qualitative change. They officially moved together. Coke began to talk about Mentos' work, house, future and children. The eyes would linger in the baby store, and it all caught Mentos' eyes and faded his smile a bit -- and as the relationship between the two deepened, the 40-year-old Mantos had to really feel Consider the future: where the **** is he, and is this town an illusion? Is he dreaming? What the **** is going on with all this?
Because he has fallen in love with Coke, Mantos wanted to figure out the future. This time he began to actively search for elves, even crows and white bulls, to find out the reason behind this, but in After a series of mysterious exchanges, Mantos found out nothing about the real secret of the town except that the elf allowed him to get out of the town, into the wilderness and the river of time, and gave him the ability to go back.
After walking out of the small town experimentally, Mantos walked forward for a while and found another small town standing in the distance. Town, but returned to the original—he was surprised to find that Coke and others did not realize his departure—the time axis of him and Coke and others did not seem to coincide. For him, following the river in space The movement of the town is the movement of the town in time, so as long as he wants, he can return to this town anytime and anywhere. For Coke, time has never moved.
What about his own time? Will he remain 40 forever, or will he also get older bit by bit, or even younger? Mantos needs to find his own river of time, which is a problem he has to solve before he can settle down - when Coke covers his mouth and shows a disgusted expression, he makes up his mind to leave the town and enter time and space together Wilderness, go forward along the river of time.
The woods where he and Coke walked together changed their appearance. As he learned more about this place, the woods became taller and darker, and they looked less like ordinary trees. Elves, centaurs, The unicorns, these fabled creatures, were present in the forest, and they came to the aid of Mantos when he was in trouble, and when he stopped for camp at night, the elves came curiously to spy on the fires he had raised. , although unable to communicate in words, the communication between them was full of warm feelings. Accompanied by them, Mantos put his arms on his pillow and smiled at the starry sky.
Finally, he arrived at the next town, and the elves surrounded him, urging him to go in. When he walked into the forest again, Mantos found that he was gradually getting younger and younger until he returned. At the prime of his life at the age of 27, he is not alone in this forest. Many gorgeously dressed aristocratic women are taking a walk in the forest, and Coke, who is already 40 years old but still charming, is the center of the crowd. People no longer call her by her first name, but respectfully call her 'madam'.
Mantos, who broke in, was regarded as a tramp and was suspected by the guards. He was brought to his wife for interrogation, and Coke, who had an elegant smile, seemed to feel a little familiar with Mantos. , when the eyes meet, the relationship and feelings between the two have been clearly expressed on the face——
"cut!"
With this shout, Jenny's face inevitably darkened slightly: she didn't even speak a line, it seems that Salvi was very dissatisfied with their performance this time.
"D." Sure enough, after the sound just now, Salvi shook his head and said, "Take a break for five minutes and do it again."
It seems that he didn't explain why he was dissatisfied, and he still planned to take a lot of shots. The extras all showed tired expressions, and Jenny looked at Heath helplessly - they didn't know that Where is the problem.
"Is Mentos's response too direct?" Heath asked, "You know, maybe he should be a little more insensitive, after all, he should still be relatively insensitive to 40-year-old women."
"You must have never heard of "stacy'," Jenny said jokingly, she shook her head, "I don't know, is Coke's performance too direct? Maybe that kind of desire should be brought up by her The mask hides deeper."
Due to the progress of the storyline, most of the plots are now completed in front of the green screen, and the rest of the interior scenes also have distinct stages. Coupled with the unique experiential performances of the actors, the studio shooting of this film is strictly In chronological order, and now it is the end of September, the weather in New Zealand is gradually getting warmer, and the filming progress is less than half, it seems that this film is really going to be filmed until the end of the year, and Salvi's actions It’s still unhurried, and it seems that there is no pressure from the film crew at all——Jenny sometimes calculates for him, and thinks that the producer will probably go crazy, but fortunately, the tax rebate in New Zealand saved them a lot of money, plus There are two big names in the team, so the crew is still operating as usual, and as the filming progresses, the plot has entered a new stage, and this continuous ng phenomenon has become more frequent again. To put it bluntly, it is in the new stage of the plot , The actor and the director did not get along well enough, and both parties were looking for a suitable rhythm again. If Salvi can be satisfied with this scene and find that feeling, then there will be very few ngs in the whole stage of shooting afterwards.
For one day, both parties were entangled in this shot. In the end, Salvi didn't say "good". , Shooting one scene in a row, this is the kind of fatigue that actors are most afraid of, but Jenny hesitated, and took the initiative to walk towards Salvi-in this episode, the 27-year-old Heath almost played the role in his true colors. Maybe there won't be a big problem with her mentality, just like in the previous performance, it was very easy for her to master the 27-year-old Coke. This time, the chances of the problem may lie with her.
"Hi," she said, leaning against the shelf next to Salvi.
It can be seen that Salvi is not in the ecstatic state of creation today, but he is not as shy and reserved as usual. He is obviously engrossed in the movie, staring at the monitor and looking back at the screen. , He raised his head when he heard the voice, "Hi."
"Want to go for a walk?" Jenny asked.
"Okay." Salvi said, he should already have a clear understanding of Jenny's intentions - their communication has always been without too many words.
Based on the strict working hours system and generous overtime pay, the crew will never work more than 8 hours a day, otherwise it will cause a sharp increase in the budget, so when shooting in the studio, everyone works from 9 to 9 Sixth, take a lunch break for an hour, no different from office workers. When Jenny and Salvi walked out of the studio, in addition to the warm afterglow of the sunset, they could also see many staff talking and laughing as they walked towards the hotel at the foot of the hill. The atmosphere was warm and homely , It is very different from the noisy and irritable that is common in general crews. Jenny squinted her eyes for a while, then she turned and leaned against the iron railing, "Sometimes I feel that we live in the town in the story, everything that happens here is so unusual, but everyone His attitude is so calm."
The corner of Salvi's mouth raised, and he said, "And you seem to like this kind of life very much."
"Yeah, but I'm like Mentos—love it, but know it's not true," said Jenny, grimacing. "Although I know it's not true, I still want to stay longer."
Salvi did not speak, but his expression looked very happy. Jenny also liked this atmosphere very much. She leaned on the railing, looking at the magnificent sunset in the sky, enjoying the tranquility of this moment. After a while, she chatted again broke the silence. "Are you going to shoot Gatsby the same way? Also in New Zealand, in isolation? If that's the case, I think I'll definitely join again - hope this trick doesn't get copied by other directors Go, or I will never go back to Hollywood."
"I thought you were determined to join." Salvi said, this is the first time they talked about the new film, basically, he didn't have much contact with the actors during the shooting. "No, the movie won't be made like that. I'm still thinking about it. I don't have any specific ideas right now. You know, I'll talk about it after I finish filming this movie. But initially it may be made in Hollywood-inviting more celebrities to comeo. After all, this is A movie about glitz."
Jenny nodded: Leonardo has already left to film "The Wolf of Wall Street". After the filming is over, there will definitely be a two to three-month rest period. During the rest period, he was tortured upside down, not physically, but mentally. And Jenny thinks that she has a better grasp of Daisy than Coke, and "Gatsby" may not adopt the current director method, so she may return to Los Angeles to handle business affairs for a period of time, and then join the group to film , if it can be filmed in Hollywood, it will of course help her take care of both sides. After all—even if she likes this kind of life, it's not true, she always wants to go back.
"What are you thinking?" Salvi asked.
"I wonder what's wrong with my Coke," she said, "I think I've got a pretty good idea of her 40-year-old mentality, of the charm and allure she feels from Mentos— "
This is the first time she asked Salvi directly, instead of letting Salvi use ng again and again to torture education, and Salvi was not surprised at all, and he didn't even hesitate.
"Yes, I think you should come to me for this too," he said, "after all, this is not a problem that can be solved by grinding your defenses - there does not seem to be sexual tension between you and Heath , eh? I see that you don't seem to find him sexually attractive."
"From an aesthetic point of view, he is quite handsome, but he does not attract me." Jenny admitted, "I believe he has a similar judgment—"
"Yes, but he is a man. A man is still very sensual at the age of 27. Even if he is not deeply attracted intellectually, he will still be tempted emotionally." Saar Wei said, "And I think it's not that you are not attracted to him. This question should be looked at separately. Do you have the urge to fall in love with him? There is no doubt that neither party has it, but what if it is to sleep with him? What about pure sexual attraction? If you think he is good from an aesthetic point of view, then instinctively, you should have the desire/desire to have **** with him, whether you will do it or not is another time thing, but this part is still there, it's just that most people don't let it show in their daily lives."
"In terms of acting, you don't have to be really enamored with him to act with him, of course, actors can empathize, brew, and the intimacy between you and Heath has played well before , the part that needs love, you guys used empathy skills brilliantly, but in today's scene... I feel that you have noticed my intention, Coke is lonely at 40 years old, she needs fresh* And stimulating sex. Love, this kind of sensual demand mixed with vague good feelings is reflected in her surface emotions—" Although she was reticent during this period of time, once she spoke, Salvi was still extremely sharp, and he layered up. The profiling blade is almost overwhelming. "And I feel that this is not a problem with your acting skills, you just... I found that you are very used to suppressing your emotions and sexual desires... Sometimes you even gave me an oriental sense of abstinence, as if admitting that you also have Desire is a shameful thing.”
His professional tone made the sentence a little less intrusive, and Jenny couldn't find any reason to refute, and could only secretly marvel at Salvi's sensitivity—until now, she hadn't talked to Cesare. He told the full story, but he must have guessed her origin and knew the cultural differences between East and West. But Salvi basically didn't know anything, but pinpointed her way of thinking precisely. ——Of course, she is definitely not a traditional oriental girl now. If she hadn’t been divorced yet, she would have gone to have fun, but this conscious release is not contradictory to the residual oriental pattern in the subconscious.
"There's no shame in it, of course," she said, giving herself a plausible reason. "It's just...you know, compared to my fame—if you've been honest in your life, you'll have a lot of trouble."
Salvi was obviously not convinced, he shook his head, "Hiding up after revealing something is different from habitually not revealing it from the very beginning..."
His sharpness is not so popular at this time, Jenny pouted, she instinctively replaced defense with offense. "But it's not an oriental abstinence—you see, you almost never show anything special to me, do you?"
Salvi raised his eyebrows, and a look of surprise appeared on his handsome and thin face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile—this was the first time that Jenny talked about their chemistry Reaction, without words, he seems to have understood that the invisible barrier that once existed between them has dissipated, and Jenny is no longer in the state of 'I don't plan to fall in love anytime soon'.
"That's because I'm a gentleman," he said, "and I don't bother ladies without asking."
"Oh?" Jenny said, her heartbeat suddenly quickened - Salvi knew what was going on with her marriage with Cesare, for him, there was no concern about destroying the marriage , then she is sending out an obvious signal now. "So what would you do if you were allowed to?"
She had never seen a very happy Salvi, not even when Monroe won the Oscar, and now her knowledge gap was filled—she didn't know how to describe it, but Salvi The change in Ervi's eyes is so evident that, as he says, once he is allowed to, his eyes, his expression, speak volumes for those emotions that his lens describes and points to—this desire. The presence or absence of it is so obvious that there is absolutely no way to disguise it.
"I'll..." he said, his voice lowered, and there was some shadow of London accent under his rp accent, "I'll do some wild things, I have some private imaginations, some very private I have some very romantic ideas, I have some very interesting plans..."
His hand was getting closer and closer to Jenny's cheek, but finally stopped within an inch. Salvi showed a regretful expression, but just for a while, he put his hand back into his pocket and held it Gentleman's courtesy and reserve.
"But I have to keep your filming status." He said regretfully, "—now, I'm a director."
"I see." Jenny said, she coughed lightly and stood up straight, still a little dizzy. "I...understand."
The two looked at each other for a while, and Salvi suddenly showed a naughty smile.
"Your expression is fine now." He said, turned around and whistled, waving at her. "Keep it up, and you will definitely get a good."
Jenny touched her cheek and watched him go away - she couldn't help laughing.
The next day, the shot was passed in one shot, and the subsequent shooting was also smooth and extraordinary. The 40-year-old Coke and the 27-year-old Mantos knew what each other wanted at first glance. The taboo, sensual, and fresh stimulation made them fascinated, and they seized every opportunity to have an affair. Here, the story is full of beauty, until the crow appears again.
