King of Hollywood Chapter 201: Excellent

"d" Adrian clapped his hands, "Very good, two of you, you did a beautiful job, but we have to do it again."

As he walked up to Renault lying on the ground, looking down for a few seconds, he waved to the crew: "I think, maybe more tomato juice may be needed-not on the face, but on the back and On the ground."

"Great," Renault on the ground seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to make me face full of plasma."

"It seems that it is better to be a nervous officer with a lot of men." Oldman with a prop gun raised his hands and pretended to look around. "At least you don't need to be covered with tomato juice."

Suddenly there was laughter all around.

"Okay, keep your neurotic state, Gary." Adrian smiled and patted his shoulder, and then returned to the position to shout to start, an assistant came hurriedly: "Mr. Adrian, Nata Miss Li and her mother are here."

"Great, where is it?" Adrian's eyes lit up, and suddenly looked up in the crowd.

"Hi, Adrian." Natalie and her mother Xie Li quickly came over and waved to him.

"You guys are ahead of time." Adrian said with a smile, then stretched out and shook hands with Natalie and Shelly. Frankly, it felt good to hold the girl's tender little hand.

"It's just a few minutes." Xie Li said instead of her daughter.

"I still have a few lenses to shoot here, just let the stylist and makeup artist do the styling for you," Adrian looked at Natalie, "Are you ready, Natalie?"

The girl squeezed her long hair. Although she was a little reluctant, she quickly nodded firmly: "Ready."

"Then let's do that." Adrian said to ask the assistant to take Natalie to the RV with powder room, then returned to the camera and clapped his hands vigorously: "Okay, everyone, let's continue."

It took about ten minutes to shoot this shot of Renault temporarily putting the grenade ring into Oldman's hands. After the crew entered the rest period, the two actors also cleaned up the things. After more than ten minutes, the stylist brought Natalie to Adrian again.

She is no longer the girl with long hair. The brown coat, light-colored trousers and canvas shoes she was wearing are gone, and she is replaced by the short straight hair with the bubble head of the 1930s. And a striped vest and bohemian cashmere coat, shorts to the base of the thigh and brown leather shoes, two bright legs exposed. If it wasn’t for the movie, her face was a little dirty and there were scars on it, this dress would attract many people.

"Tell you good news, two of you, the girl you are fighting for is here." Adrian smiled and introduced Natalie to Renault and Oldman.

"Hey, Ed, it seems that you are not so good at speaking like this." Renault said jokingly.

"It's okay, Adrian is just kidding," Natalie defended him actively, and then she generously extended her hand, not shy at all. "Hello, I'm Natalie Hlag ."

"I'm Jean Renault, you can ask me to let me." Renault looked at the girl with a curious look.

"Gary? Oldman, just call me Gary." Oldman waved his hand casually.

"Thank you, I like your movie very much," the little girl said with a grin, "Although "The Big Blue" was only recently watched, it is really touching; unfortunately, "Assassination of Kennedy" and "Four Hundred Years" It’s all R-rated movies, and Dad doesn’t allow it, I just heard that Gary Dracula, played by Gary, is cool.”

"Not bad, accustomed to this darker character." Oldman shrugged.

"Okay, Natalie, you can start to cultivate your emotions." Adrian, who has been staying by the side, said at this time, he found that Oldman seemed unwilling to talk more about "Four Hundred Years". In a movie, when he jokingly called him Earl of Dracula, there was a trace of depression in Oldman's eyes. It seems that he had encountered many annoyances when shooting this movie. For example, Winona Don't like him-this was confirmed by Dennis.

"I start immediately." Natalie replied busy, and after smiling at Renault and Oldman, she immediately sat down to read the script seriously, and Adrian began to arrange for the preparation of the little girl's first. A shot.

Natalie’s part is very simple, that is, Matilda escaped from the exhaust pipe and walked from the underground exit to the street. The whole process is very simple, and there is no line, but it is a test of the actor's acting skills and grasp of the role. For example, it was very difficult to look at the tension and worries outside at the beginning of the underground exit, or to try to keep calm when coming out, and the panic when she was photographed by the police to let her hurried away.

"Are you ready?" Adrian, who had arranged everything, stood behind Natalie with the camera. The little girl took a big breath and nodded to him.

"Very good." Adrian said, lowering his head to look at the camera lens while making a gesture to the field record.

The crackling sound rang, and after a delay of five or six seconds, Natalie, who held Evergreen and big baggage with her back to the camera, immediately began to trot, and the crackling footsteps exited underground. There was a ringing, and the Adrian carrying the camera immediately followed, and there were several assistants behind him.

Nataly stopped until she reached the exit stairs. It took a few seconds for Adrian to turn off the camera and raise her head: "Not great, we will try again."

Everyone immediately returned to their original positions, and then the little girl started running again, but unfortunately it still had to pass again. In fact, it really suffices to think about it twice. After all, it is just a handheld camera to shoot from the back. It is very common. You don’t need too many skills for performance or shooting. Even so, Adrian still shoots repeatedly six times before it ends.

It’s not that he wants to make troubles deliberately, the key is that the crew can easily negotiate with the community and the police station, and set an area on the street for shooting, so the relevant shots must be done. And this is Natalie’s first performance in front of the camera. Although her previous performance is amazing and she is always confident, it does not mean that she can now completely surrender the role of Matilda. This scene requires her to perform completely with body language and expression.

So Adrian wants to use such a method to remind her that making a movie is not an easy task. Sometimes, the experience of some things from practice is more impressive than others using language reminders.

Facts have proved that Natalie does have extraordinary maturity and cleverness. Although she frowned slightly at the end of the fourth time, she didn’t wait for the fifth time before she showed a clear look, and then Very seriously completed the next two shots, and after Adrian said that the lens can pass, quickly closed his eyes and began to adjust his emotions.

But even so, when shooting frontal shots still NG repeatedly, Adrian always thinks that her emotions are not in place and does not express that feeling, especially if there is a picture in his head for reference.

"Don’t be discouraged, Natalie, calm down and think about it, how Matilda’s anxiety, tension and worries at this time should be expressed implicitly." After about twenty times of NG, Adrian announced Take a break, and then came to the girl with a clearly depressed expression and said to her.

"I've been trying to feel it, but..." Natalie said with a sullen bow on her head.

Seeing her like this, Adrian suddenly felt that he was a bit eager for success. Generally speaking, he should take some shots that are not so passionate. Let the two actors communicate with each other during the shooting. . In fact, he did plan that way. Natalie’s today’s scene has only a few shots of communication with the SWAT except for the current ones. The most important part is to say goodbye to Lyon.

Anyway, this is an indoor drama, you can shoot at any time, but the current lens is an outdoor scene. If you don’t take the opportunity to shoot now, it will be very troublesome to think of drawing an area like this now. You need to know This is in New York.

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's your first time to star in a movie, Natalie, it's normal to feel at a loss. So don't worry about it, we will shoot slowly over and over again, it will always make you feel the feeling." Adrian continued to comfort, anyway, to shoot here for two days, the divided area can still be used, big deal to find ways to talk to them and rent a few more days, any problem that money can solve is not a problem.

"So, you rest for a while, I’ll go and see how they are shooting." Adrian said he was leaving, because he used two cameras to shoot the explosion scene, so he kept the assistant director. Masterson took some extra pictures with the extras, so I wanted to take this opportunity to take a look.

"No, I can continue" Natalie suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open and looked at Adrian~IndoMTL.com~ as if the confident look had never disappeared.

Adrian raised her eyebrows, looked at her for about tens of seconds, and finally agreed to this request: "Okay, let's continue."

Next is more than ten times of NG, but neither Natalie nor Adrian have any other expressions and language, and always calmly returned to the original position after "cut" to prepare for the next shooting. Despite this, Adrian still saw the little girl's progress, and even almost passed it at the 19th time, but after thinking about it, he still endured to go back.

And Natalie took a deep breath and squeezed her fist to encourage herself, and then returned to her position again, holding the Evergreen, the bear cub and the bag in the flower pot.

Cracking, the camera starts to rotate with a clear tapping sound. The girl with disheveled hair raised her head slightly to look at the busy policeman on the street, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, and her eyebrows were also flicked upward. She opened her mouth but then closed it again, then lowered her head and pressed her lips to come out along the steps. The shadows in her eyes seemed to be chewing tears, but she tried to endure doing nothing without expression, striding forward Going, just holding Evergreen in his arms tighter.

"Very good" Adrian, watching all this, finally called out loudly. ()
