Hollywood Domination Chapter 408: Salvi’s **** walk

After finishing the call with Leo, Jenny stretched her body, looked at the closed door with some vigilance, bent down and opened the bottom layer of the drawer, and carefully pulled out the magazine under several magazines. After unplugging the charger and connecting the mobile phone, she covered the outlet at the foot of the bed with a piece of clothing, sprinkled a few books as a cover, then patted the clothes, opened the door and went to the crew cafeteria—— In this crew, mobile phones are taboo. If she is discovered, even if she is the biggest star in the crew, she will probably be confiscated.

"Hey, j.j."

"j.j."

At lunch time, many crew members had already come to the cafeteria in twos and threes. Seeing the books in Jenny’s hands, they couldn’t help smiling knowingly: After the staff returned to their rooms at night, they still She can take out her mobile phone to make a call, or watch TV, but Jenny’s room doesn’t even have a TV. In this wild alpine pasture, all she can use to amuse herself is books.

Holding a copy of "That's You", Jenny carried a plate of pan-fried steak with salad, and walked towards her exclusive seat listlessly. After getting herself a glass of water, she faced the vast and boundless pasture scenery Sitting down, while cutting the steak, she glanced absently at the romance novel, which to her was so vulgar that it almost belonged to the 1940s and 1950s. After reading a few pages, she put the book aside, He simply enjoyed his lunch in front of the green grass that stretches to the horizon.

Although the seats around her are empty, no one will come to eat and chat with her. This is Salvi's rule. Of course, this also includes depriving her of all modern entertainment facilities such as laptops and ipads. According to official regulations, Jenny can only contact the phone for fifteen minutes a day, and Mary will give her a briefing, and she will give instructions. If Mary thinks there is nothing worth briefing on that day, then there will be no such calls. Like the phone call with Leonardo just now, there were some setbacks. First, Mary conveyed his desire to contact her, and then Jenny made an appointment for him to call. For this reason, she also specially chose the phone call before lunch. Such a noisy human voice can cover up her voice, otherwise, Jenny is really not sure whether her cheating behavior will be 'revealed'.

Restrictions on modern electronic devices, separate dining seats and of course no going out... Although Salvi was unable to block cell phone signals at the Ben-Ohau farm where they filmed, he managed to get the actors out. Created such a realistic atmosphere, people have the feeling of going back to the beginning of this century. Having only been here for more than a week, Jenny has almost gotten used to thinking that she really lives on a rural farm in the early 20th century, especially when she runs for several miles along the road every morning, leaving the house behind her. At the time of the black spot, surrounded by the boundless frosty grassland, there is really a feeling that this grassland has never changed since ancient times, and she has not even specially cultivated it. She has already recognized which era she is in. Gradually blurred, and even found a little sense of 'ancient' life.

"Hey." When the steak was half eaten, Heath walked up to her to say hello, and put down his plate—similarly, his dining area was also restricted, basically, two people The best lunch partners can only be each other. "It seems that you have a good appetite today."

"Hey——" Jenny said, she put down the knife and fork, "I'm so boring, people may have a strong appetite when they are bored."

When filming, if there is no assistant with you, many actors will gain weight because of too much food. With the help of Mary, Jenny has been in control all the time, but this time Mary can’t follow, and her exercise volume is repeated due to boredom. Expanding, Jenny also began to relax her diet control a little bit - she has no concerns about the intake of beef. Her recipes have always ensured the intake of animal protein, mainly in the amount of salt and sugar. When I would starve to death, I had no choice but to be less particular, and started to eat the crew's meals like everyone else. And this letting go is gradually getting out of control—just like what she said, if you are very busy, maybe you don’t focus on eating, but it’s so boring, you can’t help but eat a few more bites, plus Isolate from the outside world, hardly see the media, and don't need to be on camera. No matter how determined and self-vigilant I seem to be, it seems to be ineffective. Fortunately, she didn't show any signs of gaining weight, and her circumference didn't change much, so Jenny just let it go.

"The hunger in your brain is transferred to your stomach." Heath glanced at the cover of the novel and commented, "Is this another Cinderella and Prince story?"

"Yes, it's kind of like a cross between Jane Eyre and Cinderella." Jenny said bitterly, "You know what? Other than these in the library are books on farming techniques - I really don't have many choices .”

Heath gave a sympathetic glance, and the two smiled at each other, a sense of intimacy naturally emerged, and Jenny guessed that this was one of Salvi's intentions. ——Actually, she and Heath are both very professional actors. Even if they are not very familiar with each other, the effect of the scene should not be bad, but "not bad" is obviously not enough for Salvi, what he needs is that A natural expression of emotion, a wholehearted devotion to the character... In short, this guy is a complete perfectionist. In order to achieve the effect he wants, he doesn't care about the completion guarantee and the shooting schedule.

"You walked all morning again today, didn't you?" Jenny took a bite of the vegetable leaf and asked while chewing, "Still walking in that field repeatedly?"

"Yeah, back and forth." Heath sighed, poking at the mashed potatoes on his plate, "I just hope we can do another shot this afternoon."

Jenny held back her smile—in fact, her emotions were complicated now, because although Heath's miserable appearance was indeed funny now, she still shuddered at the thought that this might be a portrayal of her future. At present, it’s just a walking shot. If it’s a fighting shot, it would take one shot a day... Well, I can only say that Salvi is quite talented. When he was filming "Monroe", his progress was neither fast nor slow. It didn't make her feel that there was any problem. Now that she has capital, she starts to torture the producer. Based on the progress of the few seconds of shooting in a day, Jenny estimated that if he also shot "Monroe" in the same way, she would have gone crazy when she was also a first-time producer.

"Do you regret not acting in "Code Shero" now?" She asked Heath jokingly, "If this continues, I'm afraid you will have to quit-if you think there is a problem, you should talk to Thrall in time. He is not the kind of harsh and violent director."

Heath has a sensitive personality and has always had sleep disorders. She is also afraid that this way of acting will bring too much pressure on him, causing him to start insomnia again, which will lead to alcoholism. He has said before that during the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", he felt very depressed several times and was almost overwhelmed by insomnia.

"No——" Unexpectedly, Heath shook his head, "Although it feels a bit masochistic to say this, I promise you that when I retraveled that road for the thousandth time, I really of—"

He squeezed his fist to express his breakdown, "But when Salvi said yes, you go to see the scene he thinks is good, compared with the previous one... you can really feel the difference, how to say , you know, I am an actor who is well prepared for the role. Whenever I enter the country, I already have a play in my heart, and I have already entered that role-like the clown, Ennis... Maybe many people feel that those performances It is sincere and comfortable, but in fact, when you see the scenes that Cesare is satisfied with, it is a different feeling, which will make your previous acting skills seem... exaggerated."

The exhaustion just now has subsided a lot unconsciously, Heath showed a gentle smile, he seemed very satisfied, "So that scene will make all your hard work meaningful, I think I need to apologize It’s me, not him, it’s not that his request is too weird, it’s just that I can’t give him what he wants in a few shots.”

Jenny was a little touched by his expression, and she said after a while, "I don't think anyone should be sorry, you just--you still need to work together, and you are still looking for a point of agreement between the two parties, which must be used constantly. Maybe it’s the relationship between Salvi’s been shooting your one-person shots, which is actually more time-saving on a large scale.”

"Maybe," said Heath, who didn't seem to care much about time—like the rest of the crew, they were paid weekly, so the length of the movie didn't matter to them, The longer the time, the income may be more stable. Jenny laughed at herself: she is the only one who can't get rid of the producer's faults.

"See you in the evening." She greeted Heath, "Have a nice afternoon."

Heath snorted, and Jenny walked back to her room with a smile - she decided to take a good nap.

#

The temperature in New Zealand at the end of July is not too high, but the sun is already very good. After enjoying a long afternoon nap, Jenny decided not to waste the afternoon sun and went for an impromptu hike. She took a bottle of water, a blanket, and a book, and wandered out of the house, passing a dense group of trailers, and then walked along a narrow path until she could no longer see the house. Sitting down under the redwood tree, looking at the blue sky in the distance, he exhaled a long breath.

Salvi is always good at dispelling her uneasiness. This ranch, which covers an area of ​​thousands of hectares and has filmed the "Lord of the Rings" series, is almost an independent small society-in order to prevent the flock from getting lost, the ranch There is an electronic fence on the outside, and the specially hired security company will check the credentials of the people entering and leaving, and they will pass through completely. Moreover, as a crew, the number of people entering and leaving the ranch is surprisingly small and simple, because there are more than one open after leaving the ranch. You can only enter the city after hours, and there is really nothing interesting in that city. Even if someone can sneak in, he has to find a house on the ranch on foot... You know, there are no signals in many places on the ranch.

So, for Jenny, living here does give her a sense of security, and that's one of the reasons she loves Yosemite and here, in Los Angeles, whether it's the Cliff Manor or the Big Dream, the shadow of the stalker It is always everywhere, and the frenetic crowd also makes her nervous. Going out alone is always an unrealistic fantasy. Won't attract paparazzi? But on this ranch, she can go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. Of course, she is bored, but this kind of boredom is also happy and lazy at the same time... Maybe, this is Coke's usual life She is not satisfied with the boring and dull reading at hand, she is curious about what the outside world looks like, but at the same time, she is unwilling to break the current life, Coke’s life lacks changes, but she is not depressed, In essence, she is an ordinary, small-town girl who enjoys herself.

There's nothing wrong with that, is it?

Holding her hands behind her head, Jenny fell down to feel the coolness of the earth. She raised her hand, measured the sky between her fingers, and thought about the feeling of Coke. Cole was a 16-year-old girl when she first met Mentos. She must be quite curious about love. After reading so many romance novels, is love just like the one depicted in the book? She may not know anything about it, but she is brave enough to try it. Whether it is its pain or happiness, she will take it all.

Yeah, falling in love, looking forward to a new relationship... In the world of movies, everything is so simple, Jenny thought, "That's why we love movies, you can explore another possibility, go to Live a life you didn't choose..."

Before she knew it, the sun had slanted down to the horizon. Without the warmth it brought, the ground began to turn cold, and she could not keep lying down. Come slowly.

"Shooting ended early today," she said, making room for him on the blanket.

Salvi was wearing a windproof jacket and cold pants. He looked a bit dusty, but he could still go directly to shoot fashion movies. He sat down on the blanket awkwardly, and sighed heavily, "From the morning stand So far - Heath has opened up in the afternoon and given us a few good shots. So I called it off early - it's always going to last longer if he has a little more to say."

Jenny couldn't help laughing, "I like to manipulate people."

"This is a good director." Salvi said solemnly, "What about you, what are you thinking?"

"I was wondering what kind of boy Coke would like at 16," Jenny said, "I don't know if you changed the script - you kept it really secret - so I'll just have to guess .”

"What kind of boy do you think she will like?" Salvi asked, ignoring Jenny's complaints.

"A boy among boys." Jenny said, "has all the advantages and disadvantages of a boy, reckless, thinking about **** all the time, likes sports, slightly unhygienic, but--very that hormonal feeling .”

"Sounds like a Coke model." Salvi said, "Actually—you and I think the same."

Jenny turned over the pages of the book at hand and said dryly, "I feel honored."

Salvi raised his head and laughed. He leaned back against the tree trunk and looked at the fiery red ball in the distance. The sun slowly set on the top of the mountain, bit by bit.

"I've decided to give Heath a day off," he said, "—I think you're ready to be filmed."

"Oh?" Jenny said, feeling relaxed and comfortable, lazily, "You think I'm ready?"

"I think you're ready," Salvi said, "I walked up just now and saw the way you raised your hand to the sky - I knew I washed Hollywood off of you, you already Ready."

"Then can I see the final script?"

"Not yet," Salvi said, and he laughed, "Oh, not yet—for now you're still just walking in the mountains like Heath."
