Hollywood Domination Chapter 132: Filmmaking is also physical work

Among the sound of fencing, Elizabeth and her fiancé Will Turner fought hard to decide the outcome. The two Western swords shone golden in the sun. Will blocked her attack quickly and accurately. The two exchanged challenging eyes during the competition. Elizabeth couldn't help laughing, and Will seized this opportunity to attack. The sunshine of the Caribbean Sea sprinkled on the courtyard. The atmosphere is so harmonious and beautiful——

"Nimbus, Gore, Nimbus!" A voice came from afar outside the courtyard, "Nimbus is coming!"

The studio that was so quiet just now suddenly heard noisy human voices. "Quick, the poncho here is leaking—"

"Tarp, go get the tarp out."

"Receive the microphone, take it away - this is our last one."

The Caribbean Sea has a tropical marine climate. Summer showers come as soon as they are said, and the last minute was still sunny. This minute, when the sky became cloudy, it began to rain unreasonably. The polished board was beaten in the rain. There was a bang, and the actors ran back to the corridor in embarrassment, letting the costume artist deal with the mud marks on the trousers and skirt corners. The sense of reality is high, but it is greatly restricted by natural conditions.

No one spoke in the corridor. Except for the makeup artist who was working, everyone looked at the rainstorm in confusion. Even Josh, who was always smiling, had a blank face. Jenny stood there with her hands crossed, wishing she could Take off your skirt, jump into a cold bath to cool off, and never make any **** movies again-who can bear this kind of crime in this **** weather?

I didn’t think much of it when I was filming the first part, because she has a lot of literary dramas. Now that she has started to perform martial arts, filming has really become a challenge——Jenny heard from Christopher, He has a private island in the Caribbean Sea, which is currently under construction, but even if it is completed, he should only come for vacation in winter, because the Caribbean Sea in summer is not only rainy, but also controlled by tropical high pressure, the weather is humid and hot, even with antiperspirant, Wearing such a thick costume, she still sweats non-stop. The costume becomes heavier after absorbing water, and will be dried slowly in the sun, but the occasional rain makes the shooting progress slow, and Jenny keeps repeating In the process of sweating, drying, sweating, drying, in short, she is now being slowly salted into jerky...

Although she drank a lot of water, she still felt a little dehydrated, and the **** costume was so heavy-suddenly, the shooting of "Sally" became more attractive, although it was also at that time It’s painful, but at least it’s much better than the current physical torture. Now it’s purely physical labor... No wonder many big stars have bad tempers. Even if she doesn’t think she’s irritable, Jenny is sure that if she can’t put After the **** shot was done, she would definitely have the urge to lose her temper.

Finally, the sun cleared after the rain, and the sun quickly dried up the water marks on the venue. The crew members rushed forward again, and reset the scene. Jenny and Josh rushed into the sun, mobilized their emotions, and two more Take, this scene is finally over—they were lucky today, because the director just yelled 'Good', the sky turned gloomy, and soon it rained again...

Compared to Jenny, who plays mostly indoors, Josh and Johnny are obviously suffering more. After taking off the powder, Josh is already dark and thin. Even if he eats more, his cheekbones are becoming more and more obvious——Jenny When he was training in St. Vincent, he and Johnny went to the Bahamas for location shooting. The running and climbing scenes shot entirely under the scorching sun were like summer camps. I heard that more than one crew member fainted from heat stroke.

"Now it's best to adapt to the situation." Gore and the assistant director walked over while talking, "Arrange rain scenes and sunny scenes every day. If there is a hurricane, we can simply shoot some naval battle scenes."

Of course he was joking, but Jenny really thought it was a good idea, and any suggestion to get her to finish shooting sooner, she welcomed it with her hands high. ——If this is the case every time she shoots an action movie, she would rather give up this route. ——She couldn’t rely on gold fingers when filming fight scenes, because the original version of Elizabeth was not a hit girl. To be honest, the fight scenes didn’t use much acting skills, just repeated fights over and over again, tired and painful, and she couldn’t Distraction. In martial arts, it is normal to be injured by the opponent because of the wrong move, and this kind of injury is usually very painful, because in order to pursue the effect, the actor must use his hands hard.

"Behaved very well just now, Jennifer." Gore noticed the fiancé couple, he stopped and asked with concern, "But you seem a little uncomfortable-the next few fight scenes Are you okay?"

After being told by Christopher, Jenny did find Bob as a private instructor, and Bob also readily arranged training for her, so that Jenny's swordsmanship can cope with live action, and many fighting scenes can be used It is of course a good thing for the crew that there is no need for a double to help, after all, the effect is better without a double, so the pain that Jenny has endured during the past few weeks of filming can be regarded as her own fault.

In the moment before she opened her mouth, she really wanted to say that she was a little out of touch, but in the end Jenny said, "No problem, Gore, it would be better if the script allowed me to dress less." No problem."

"I really want to." Gore said with a smile. He is well adapted to the weather and is much more energetic than Jenny in thin clothes. "But I'm afraid the classification committee will have an opinion."

Jenny forced herself to laugh with Gore, and Gore consoled Josh again, "Are you okay, Josh? You look like you're going to throw up."

"I seem to be still immersed in the turbulence of the plane yesterday." Josh said, but thanks to the thick powder, he still looks very healthy. "But it's not a big problem, thank you for your concern, Gore."

"I thought you were stunned by Zhou Champion." Gore said with a smile, "OK, the rain has stopped, we can call it a day after another scene."

He went out and began to direct the crew, Jenny touched Josh, "Are you okay?"

Josh shook his head, hugged Jenny's shoulders and put his head on it, "I'm a little dizzy, let me rest against you for a while."

In the past one or two years, they have always been very close to the outside world. After all, it is hard to imagine couples respecting each other in front of people. Josh's actions are nothing, but now Jenny is a little unnatural, she is nervous I looked around and found that no one noticed this, so I took out my mobile phone from my bag and checked the email: I'm not afraid that Claudia will be jealous, it's just... After the small explosion of "Indomitable", she I've always been a little uncomfortable - a fake marriage for the sake of my career... It would be great if Josh or Anna could refuse.

Since this was just Cesare's idea, Josh probably didn't know about it until now, so there's no need to talk about it before "Indomitable Future" is released, and we have to wait until the box office comes out. After the release, we have to wait for a while to see the global box office and market feedback before Cesare can make a final judgment.

With an investment of 85 million, the first week in North America was more than 40 million. It is considered a small hit for an action movie, and it will be halved by more than 20 million in the next week. It is definitely not a problem to see "Indomitable" break 100 million in North America. Not very optimistic about the film critics, the box office performance is already considered excellent. However, these may not make Josh rank among the A-list. However, last weekend "Breakthrough" was released overseas, and the global box office performance was a bright spot. The biggest star of this film is Josh, and his performance can satisfy the film critics The mediocre commercial film (Jenny watched the premiere, this is her objective evaluation), I don’t know how it was marketed overseas. Last weekend, the global box office (including North America) was more than 50 million, and it won the global weekly crown.

There is more than 10 million in North America, and the remaining 40 million is overseas box office. If you calculate it this way, there will be no big problem with more than 200 million in the world. , don't look at the lack of bright spots in his acting skills, but the film studio won't care so much, so what about the general quality of the film? As long as he can make money, Josh has entered the tail of the A-list by virtue of his handsome appearance and strong box office...

With the high box office, Josh naturally became a busy person. He had to fly back to Los Angeles to participate in activities every now and then, and the major media bombarded him with news, so Jenny also missed a lot of opportunities to appear on camera. This is the benefit of being a couple. One party has a work, which means both parties have exposure, and the media has another topic to discuss: Now, Jennifer & Josh have become a celebrity couple recognized by Hollywood and even the whole country, just like the former A Tang Ge, like Nicole, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, are considered to be a couple with high career achievements and great influence. ——And according to a recent survey, she and Josh are also the most popular Hollywood couple. Stable relationship, good appearance, outstanding career among their peers, sweet daily details...they have become a model unmarried couple with high national popularity. It can be said that the whole country is looking forward to their dream wedding .

For a romantic movie, both of them can get 20/20, or they can cooperate with Dameng to co-produce, or even Dameng shoots it himself, and they will do the distribution for them; with hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars Price invites Jenny and Josh to cut the ribbon for the new store; offers attractive conditions to invite them to shoot couple covers, if agreed, the magazine will first communicate with PR no matter what bad news is photographed in the future; provide daily necessities sponsorship for free, only You need to show up in street photos; you can go to the store for free, you can take what you see, and even if two people walk into the store together, you will get cash back... This is all in the past few weeks, Judy and Cesare received invitations, and I believe there will be more from Anna's side. This craze even surprised Judy. After all, Jenny had just passed the "Prada" craze. At that time, the box office was better and the social influence was also strong, but the public's reaction to this couple can even be described as 'cold'.

This is the public. To a large extent, their reactions are extremely random. It is impossible for even a seasoned PR to make an accurate estimate. No matter what the reason is, Jenny and Josh are now It's already completely 1+1>2, each of them is promoting each other's style, and the fact that the two are now filming in the Caribbean has formed the effect of hunger marketing, making their popularity even stronger. She guessed that the moment they returned to Los Angeles, they would definitely be overwhelmed by paparazzi and usher in a frenzy of street photography.

She and Cesare haven't talked about this matter yet, but it's all like this, marriage seems to be a firm proposal, and it's impossible for Anna to object. Jenny's mind is really contradictory now: on the one hand, it is good to marry Josh, but on the other hand, she still hopes that Josh can refuse this matter. ——It’s not easy for her to refuse. She promised Cesare when she signed the contract of sale, and now she suddenly regrets it. It is no longer a coffee position that will be subject to the needs of film promotion. If you like me, of course the film crew will be very happy, but if Josh doesn't want to, Disney can't say anything.

This is a serious matter. If you don’t get married, you have to put the breakup date on the table. Jenny wanted to tell Josh several times, but she felt that the timing was not right. Of course, it’s not a good time now. She turned her head I took a look at Josh: this guy really fell asleep, and it seemed that he was really tired these days.

"Hey." Claudia came over and handed her a bottle of soda, and she glanced at Josh, "Not feeling well?"

"Well, I think he may have some heat stroke." Jenny whispered, and another makeup artist, Joe, came over.

"Look at you two," he said in a relieved, envious tone, and gave Claudia another push. "Isn't it enviable? They look like a painting."

Claudia smiled, "Yeah, let's leave them alone for a while."

"Psst." The photographer in the distance also waved his hand to let them get out of the way, he twisted the camera, took a picture of this scene, and gave Jenny a thumbs up, then turned back and continued to adjust seat.

Jenny and Claudia looked at each other, and she felt the familiar unnaturalness again: she didn't tell Claudia about the marriage proposal, she didn't know how to speak, although this matter had nothing to do with her , but she couldn't help feeling sorry for Claudia.

"Can you hear me clearly?" Cesare asked on the other end of the phone, "The signal quality is too bad today."

"I can hear you." Jenny said loudly, "The noise you hear may be the sound of the waves—wait for me—"

She ran around on the beach for a while, and finally found a relatively secluded corner with a signal to maintain the call, "It's unimaginable that we can still make calls in Dominica, but in the United States I have to Looking for a signal like a fool!"

"Funny." Cesare said briefly, "Is the shooting going well?"

"It's terrible," Jenny couldn't help complaining, "it's like a nightmare-warning you, don't tell me this is my chance to master action movies, Christopher has already said-"

Complained a lot in a mess, and barely gave Cesare time to talk, Jenny vomited her depression, "Is there nothing wrong at home? If there is nothing, I will hang up. The night wind is a bit cold."

After she leaves Los Angeles, she will regularly communicate with Cesare by email and phone. Cesare will write some work summaries of Dameng to her by email. The signal here is not good, and the email cannot be received. Simple communication on the phone, and of course a few words, but Jenny said so much today, mainly because she was a little evasive, and she didn't want to hear Cesare mention the word 'marriage'.

"There are two things." Cesare ruthlessly broke her fantasy. "Can you persist? These two things are more important."

Jenny stared at the phone for a while, and had the urge to unplug the earphones, pretending that the signal is not good and shutting it down, but she suppressed this childish urge, calmed herself down, and repeated Cesare's lesson: Escape can't solve it Problems and any troubles will be less troublesome if you face them with a calm attitude.

"If it's about getting married, can we talk about it when we get back to Los Angeles?" I've been thinking about it, and I want to have a good talk with you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Cesare said, "Yes."

His tone was very stable and relaxed, not tense at all, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, and Cesare continued, "But this is not what I want to tell you tonight, the first thing is The rough cut of "The Fifth Sally" is out, and I watched the finished product with David today—"

His voice softened, "Congratulations, Jenny, you made a good movie, and Weinstein has decided to run this year's Oscar nomination for you."

Jennie could hardly believe her ears, a whirlpool of ecstasy swept her in, making it impossible for her to hear Cesare's next words, "And I also decided to run "Prada" for you with all my strength, this One Oscar, I want you to get two nominations..."
