Hollywood Domination Chapter 120: The fighting spirit is raging

Although the two leading actors decided to join at the last moment, Catherine, the producer, has never given up on the preparations. With Weinstein joining, once the early funds are in place, the entire crew will be as fast and precise as a machine. It is running, and the Hollywood industrial chain has exerted its power. Sets, costumes, props--the supporting actors have already signed performance contracts-when Jenny checked in at the Hamilton Homewood Hotel, director David Fincher had already begun to speak to Christopher, "Roger said to the first Sally's feelings are just like those described in "Lolita": Sally is the light of his life, the fire of his soul. Compared with Roger, who is aging, Sally is like a new flower Almost at the first sight, Roger was attracted by Sally. In his eyes, Sally was pure and fragile, representing all the beauty in the world, while Roger himself was greasy and tired, and he had no confidence in himself. Even a little self-loathing, the appearance of Sally represents his self-salvation..."

This was their first meeting after the audition. As soon as Jenny stepped out of the elevator, she heard voices from the opposite room. She hardly thought about it, handed her luggage to Mary, and turned directly to the opposite door. In front of him, he folded his hands and listened.

The sun is shining outside the window, and the heating in Canada is still very hot in late March, so Christopher’s attire is no different from that in Los Angeles. When he met him, there was a big change. He sat on the edge of the bed and covered his mouth with one hand. Although he was aware of Jenny's arrival, he didn't pay attention. He still looked at David intently and listened. his explanation. "So it's not difficult to understand the play you're wondering about. Why did Roger wash his hands twice after Sally appeared? Sally's cleanliness made him realize his filth. Roger's inferiority runs through the whole script, It's his dark line, although Sally has more room to express, it doesn't mean that Roger has no room to play."

Generally speaking, a director with a strong personal style is a bit of a lunatic. Among the several directors that Jenny has worked with, Rob Marshall has a bit of this meaning, but Gore Verbinski and David .Frank is a bit more crafty. And Finch—needless to say, he who has filmed "Fight Club" and "The Seven Deadly Sins", although his conversation and appearance are elegant, but when it comes to movies, that kind of fanatical, life-like feeling is just a glance. You can see it. Having said that, he waved to Jennifer, "Jennifer, come play with Chris, he still has some doubts about the second scene tomorrow."

Generally, the first shot of the crew will not have any difficulty. Due to the complex plot of this drama, in order to help the actors build a sense of drama, the shooting order is generally determined according to the time of the script. The above is the first scene of the whole film, which is the first meeting process between Roger and Sally.

During the previous audition, Jenny and Christopher acted in climax scenes. This scene is also the first time that Jenny and Christopher are paired together. She took the script and confirmed that she didn't have any lines. "Is it right here?"

"No, in the corridor, there is more space there." David directed Jenny to go around the corridor, "You just walk, the same as Sally did in this scene, just walk over in a relaxed way." That's it."

Jenny and Christopher looked at each other, and Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly at her, raised his chin, with a provocative expression on his face—clearly, this moody superstar has now entered aggressive mode again, turning a simple rehearsal As a stage of competition.

Who was she afraid of if she wanted to play a big show? Jenny smiled disdainfully at him, then turned her head and communicated her position with David cooperatively. When she got to the designated point and stood up, with her back to the two men, she gently Taking a breath, he skillfully activated his housekeeping skills: the empathy golden finger for bullying children...

Because she is not the kind of talented actor who can easily immerse herself in the role, and she has the choice of golden finger, before the shooting of each film, Jenny will actually sort out her acting ideas and determine the acting method , although the filming of "The Fifth Sally" started hastily, but because there is no reference object, she can only do more preparations in this regard.

From the original book, the heroine has five personalities: the cowardly Sally, the passionate Belle, the naive Dai Rui, the knowledgeable Nora, and the violent Ginny. Each personality has its own background story. , Sally is the main personality, because she could not face her lonely and failed life, in order to solve various problems in life, Sally split into the remaining four personalities. The whole book tells the story of how Roger healed Sally into a complete "fifth Sally". However, the script changed a lot to this story, and incorporated some of the plots of "24 Billys", so in the script, although the heroine still has five personalities, Dai Rui, who is innocent and mischievous, was changed into Kind, happy personality, and her mind has been lowered to a girl who has not been contaminated by the world. It is this innocent and charming personality that Roger first met and fell in love with in the film. From this point of view, David Finn Qi's 'Lolita Theory' is quite correct, and the mental age difference between Roger and Dai Rui is almost too large to cause controversy.

How to play the image of an untouched girl with a body in her twenties is of course a challenge for actors—it is also the part that Jenny is least afraid of, although the film seems very difficult at first glance High, and it seems that I can't use the golden finger, but this is only the initial impression. After reading the script intensively, Jenny has a way to reduce the difficulty: she can divide the most complicated and special personality of Sally, and figure out for herself You don’t need an empathy cheat, and the rest of the characters who only have unilateral traits use an empathy cheat. For example, Belle can empathize with Marilyn Monroe, while Nora can empathize with Miranda in "Prada". , Dai Rui is even simpler, just look for a young girl image in the movie to empathize with, and Ginny, Jenny has a bold idea for her, she wants to change Ginny into a male personality, empathize with a A perverted murderer or something goes in, and it makes sense when you think about it.

Of course, in the final film, these personalities will not take up too much time, so she can do it like this. It is still up to Jenny to do the Sally's personality that really takes on the important tasks of inner drama and rival drama. play. But doing so can significantly reduce the difficulty, and Jenny doesn't have to worry about getting confused or even collapsed because she is too involved in the role. Therefore, although it seems that she can't achieve the purpose of honing her acting skills, she still takes it without hesitation. Such a lazy strategy.

As for Dai Rui who will appear in this scene, she chose the elf princess in "The Lord of the Rings", which is also a well-thought-out choice: if you directly choose a 13- or 4-year-old child to empathize with, the resulting effect will be Of course it’s original, but after watching the simulation performance, Jenny thinks it will make the effect worse. She guessed that the scriptwriter didn’t expect that she could really play a girl very girly. If she added costumes and makeup, she It seems very likely that they are really only 14 or 5 years old. After all, some European and American children are already very mature at 14 or 5 years old, so the middle-aged Roger's fascination with her will make the whole movie creepy. There is a lot of suspicion about pedophilia. Anyway, if you want a pure and refined image, then the elf princess is quite suitable. And in the plots related to Dai Rui, Dai Rui is basically in a very happy mood. A piece of empathy and her performance are enough to pass the test.

Choosing the segment where the princess is walking slowly towards the king Aragorn, Jenny activated the golden finger with ease. The innate joy and love of the elves - the joy of life, the love of nature, suddenly poured into her heart, and the ecstasy of getting married with her sweetheart... After she left the performing arts space, her emotions still remained strong Even the most common wallpaper can make people laugh, and the windows at the end of the corridor, how beautiful the skylight shines through, how joyful it is...

Dai Rui looked around with a smile all the way, walked all the way to the location designated by David, and when she passed by Roger, she looked curiously at this (still) handsome psychiatrist. Staring at her intently, her eyes were filled with amazement, and this expression made Dai Rui very happy. She bit her lip and shyly smiled away, before continuing to walk forward.

"Good." David raised his thumb with admiration, and said softly, but he did not interrupt the performance, but motioned for Jenny and him to get out of the way, so that 'Roger' could go back to his The 'office'.

According to the script, Roger passed by Dai Rui while eating a hamburger. Because he was too surprised, he got mustard on his hand, so after returning to the office, he went directly to the bathroom and began to wash his hands. wasabi. At the beginning, he was still thinking about Dai Rui, so the expression on his face was a little silly, and he was very engaged in his smile-however, because of his outstanding appearance, such secret joy was not offensive or laughable, but contagious , making people blush and heartbeat.

However, Roger quickly glanced at himself in the mirror casually, and his expression also changed. The corner of his mouth glanced down, and his eyes became a little sad. Walking out, he looked at his fingers over and over again, then turned back to the bathroom, turned on the faucet again, and began to scrub his fingers vigorously. ——In the script, Roger’s hands have been pressed out of calluses by a ballpoint pen, and the staining is not easy to wash off, and the calluses made him feel his own aging and dirt, so he washed very hard, almost masochistic Meaning.

"Excellent!" David applauded softly, Christopher turned off the faucet suddenly, closed his eyes and took a few breaths, then adjusted his professional and calm expression, turned around and said, "I seem to have grasped Roger I have feelings for Dai Rui."

"I think so too." The rehearsal greatly pleased David, and he looked back and forth between Jenny and Christopher, not sparing his compliments, "There's a great chemistry between you and Jennifer, I feel , you can stimulate each other's performance status and make each other's performance more perfect-I have to go to the filming meeting, I hope that you can repeat today's outstanding performance at the venue tomorrow."

Jenny and Christopher looked at each other, and the corners of Christopher's lips curled up slightly, not without the meaning of demonstration: From the scene just now, it is true that his performance is more difficult than Jenny's.

As for Jenny, she just rolled her eyes, said goodbye to David, and went back to the room. Mary had already packed her luggage, "How is it? I watched it just now, and your performance is still That's great, Jenny."

"I'll do the rest. Where's your room card? Go check in. We'll go out for a walk later and find a fruit and vegetable supermarket..."

Mary left obediently, and Jenny began to organize her skin care products. It took a while for her to notice Christopher standing by the door, "What? Mr. Hanks, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chris found himself a place by the bed very familiarly, "Chesa said I'd better apologize for what happened that day, so here I am, Jennifer, what I did was wrong that day, Please forgive me."

Although the words were well-regulated, his tone of voice completely injected another meaning into the words. Jenny stood up straight, with her hands on her hips, "Why, now you want to play 'I'm a childish brat, so I'm going to deliberately provoke you 'This move?"

The confident innocence and naughtiness appeared on Christopher's face again, he laughed and pointed to Jenny's hand, "And now you want to play the trick of 'show off the ring as much as possible'? Well, this is a Beautiful, expensive engagement ring, it's too dazzling - are you happy? Jennifer, forgive me?"

"You're so childish, Christopher." Jenny waved at him as if she was shooing away the chicks, "Go find someone else to dance with you, I'm going to clean up the room."

Christopher pursed his lips and made an exaggeratedly frustrated expression, "You don't really hate me, Jane—but I don't want to go to someone else, the chemistry between you and me is so strong— I'm almost fascinated by you, I feel like I'm by your side."

This kind of cheap man would take his words seriously. Jenny would laugh at herself, she let out a sharp 'ha', "Funny, do you mind telling your girlfriend this?"

"You mean Michelle? We broke up." Christopher shrugged, "Now in front of you is a happy bachelor."

"Huh?" It's been half a month since the last dinner, Jenny paused before waving, "So what? The woman in front of you is still engaged."

"I didn't say anything," Christopher changed his attitude again, and he said meekly, "I really compliment you, Jane, this diamond ring is really beautiful and tasteful, it was chosen by Josh himself. Is it?"

"Then you have to ask him." Jenny said, she turned around and sorted out the bottles and jars, hoping that her attitude would force Christopher away.

"How much is it? I saw in a magazine that it was at least 1.5 million. Is it so expensive?" Christopher didn't seem to notice her indifference at all.

"It's not that expensive, about one million." It's impossible for Jenny to completely ignore him, after all, they still have to cooperate for nearly three months.

"Hmmm." Christopher drew a long tone, and he asked in a negotiating tone, "Do you each bear half? Or he pays?"

Why is the engagement ring half of the person? what does he mean? Did Cesare tell him? Impossible, Cesare doesn't talk that much, Judy said it was a leak? Jenny hesitated, then realized that she had screwed up: for normal married couples, of course, this sentence can be answered without thinking.

She felt Christopher's gaze, and the atmosphere made her feel like a catastrophe was imminent, but Jenny still held on to hope. She took a deep breath, turned around and raised her head, and said with certainty and impatiently, "Of course Josh paid for it. Although he's not as popular as you, thank you for your trouble. The money for the diamond ring doesn't have to be paid by the woman."

This is a plausible excuse, but Christopher didn't listen at all. He jumped up from the mattress, approached Jenny step by step, pointed at her and moved gently, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled proudly. Involuntarily, he was forced to stand in front of the dressing table, "What are you doing!"

"Don't continue to insult my IQ." Christopher shook his finger, lowered his voice, and said in a firm and suggestive tone, "The woman in front of me is a beautiful and hypocritical woman, and the rumored Same, she really is a fake engagement - and she thought I couldn't see it."

Jenny tried to speak, but Christopher clicked his tongue, "Are you going to keep lying to me, Jen?"

"I just don't think it has anything to do with you." Jenny said calmly, anyway, she would never admit anything positively. "Now, if you don't want to try again—"

She stepped on the floor lightly, and Christopher jumped away, but the cheap smile on his face remained unchanged, "Why punish me for being right, Jane?"

He retreated to the door step by step, "Sooner or later, you will find that what David said is right—there is a great chemical-learning-reaction-reaction between us-"

He bit down the word chemical reaction very hard, Jenny picked up a sponge and threw it in his direction, Christopher laughed and fled back to his room, "We can stimulate each other's state-"

Jenny strode to the door, and Christopher Ba winked at her from his own door, "And now, I'm single, and so are you—"

Before he said anything more extreme, Jenny ended his teasing with a middle finger, she slammed the door, and heard Christopher's loud laughter at the opposite door, silently knocked her head on the door.

Great, that's what she needed - the secret was discovered on the first day of ninety days by the goddamn, needlessly smart Christopher in some ways -

Jenny was silently depressed for a few seconds, then took a deep breath, sat on the bed, adjusted her posture, and entered the performing arts space: Christopher's humble character, on the contrary, inspired her fighting spirit, and she will never hesitate about tomorrow's set On the contrary, she will try her best to cover Christopher's performance, let him be dimmed under her brilliance, and be reduced to a foil, so that in his long life, when Christopher thinks of her, he will remember that he was killed in the past three months. The humiliation of crushing...

The author has something to say: updated, although a bit late, but there are quite a few words~

It's cold, and I have a bit of rhinitis. I haven't slept well these days, and I'm drowsy during the day, and I don't have much energy, so the saved manuscripts are consumed. But I finally added some clothes today (I was freezing because I was lazy a few days ago), I feel much better today, and I should be able to write back the saved manuscripts in the next few days!
