[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 46 Evenly matched

If Suzanne played by Winona is a little white rabbit, then Lisa played by Angelina Jolie is a big bad wolf.

Lisa is like a volcano, like lightning, full of wildness, frankness, and even provocation.

Eve knows what Julie wants to express, and she tries to live in Lisa's body, doing whatever she wants, without considering other people's ideas.

How lucky the actor is to have such a fitting role!It is undeniable that Angelina Jolie's acting skills are indeed great, but if she is to play the restrained little white rabbit role like Susanna, she is definitely not as good as Winona.

With such a strong opponent by her side, Eve couldn't help feeling a little bit competitive. It's not easy to find an opponent with good acting skills.

She could have gone back to the hotel to pack her things, but now she became a staff member of the crew, watching the confrontation between the two with the script.

Although Susanna played by Winona seems to be at a disadvantage, she is very tough, like a reef in the sea, resisting the erosion of storms and sea water.

Lisa, who just returned to the mental hospital, felt as if she had come home. Even the doctors and nurses could say hello and have a chat, not to mention the rest of the patients.

Just now I asked Suzanne for a cigarette, and someone next to her took out a lighter to light it for her, and the appearance of smoking was very attractive.

In order to shoot this scene, James Mangold, like a perfectionist, asked Julie to perform in three or four ways. He didn't even say which one is better, and the requirements are extremely high!

There is no need to worry about time and film at all, it is clear that you have to grind slowly.

Eve doesn't know what will happen to her tomorrow. She likes this crew very much, and she is not afraid of factional struggles.

In one afternoon, the crew of "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" only completed three shots. It's a ghost to be able to shoot the whole film in two months.

But Eve thought about it again, she was just a supporting role, and she didn't need to shoot many scenes by herself at all, and she would definitely finish filming earlier than Julie and Winona.

According to the filming schedule, her roles will still be played in early October, provided that there is autumn snow in October, otherwise it will wait until November.

No one can say anything about the climate, the cost of snow guns is too high.

After watching the filming all afternoon, Eve didn't stay any longer. She didn't know how long the crew would last for the night scene, so she went back to the hotel to rest and recharge her batteries to prepare for tomorrow's acting competition.

The last time it was an audition, Winona and Julie obviously didn't try their best. If they actually performed on the set this time, they would definitely have no reservations.

In order not to become a foil or be crushed into slag, Eve can't expect others to perform abnormally, but can only work hard to improve herself.

Daisy actually appeared in the movie a long time ago, and the first person Lisa greeted when she was taken back to the mental hospital was Daisy.

Of course, it is obviously a bit inaccurate to say greetings, and it should be more ridicule and sarcasm.

To get the character to stand, the first shot is crucial.

Eve practiced repeatedly in the hotel room with a cigarette, looking for the most comfortable feeling. She had not studied systematically, so she didn’t know which one was more suitable for her, she just relied on her own feeling. Mix these techniques with emotion all together.

Although she has learned how to smoke, she decided to only smoke during performances, and smoking will accelerate skin aging the rest of the time.

I didn't know how long I acted in front of the mirror, paying attention to my expression while reading the lines.

She didn't think much after hearing the knock on the door, thinking that Mandy was looking for something to do with her, so she opened the door directly. Who knew that Angelina Jolie, who had changed into a costume, was leaning against the door with a bottle of champagne.

"Hi?" Eve was confused, what does this mean?

Angelina raised the champagne, pointed to the inside of the room and said, "I'm sorry that I called the wrong name on the set during the day. I had been brewing emotions for too long at that time, and some of them didn't figure it out. In fact, I was also a little intentional, and I wanted to see Winona's reaction."

Because of this, I brought champagne to apologize.

Eve didn't know what reason to turn her away, "That's okay, you can call me Daisy on the set from now on, and I'll call you Lisa when the time comes."

It just so happened that she also needed someone to help herself into the drama.

"That's great, you are very direct, much better than some hypocritical thieves, would you like a drink?" Julie didn't seem to see her rejection, and walked directly into the house, looking for cups everywhere.

As a last resort, Eve could only close the door, found two porcelain cups and handed them over.

Anyway, it's champagne, so you shouldn't get drunk.

Julie opened the cork of the champagne with a "bang", then poured it into the cup, the foam quickly rose, and after passing a cup, she said, "To our movie!"

It's already like this, and Eve didn't hesitate, picked up the cup and raised it up likewise: "Regard the soul-moving girl!"

After taking a sip of champagne, she felt much more comfortable. Although she was not used to being so close to others, especially the actresses in the crew, alcohol was indeed a good tool to dispel the strangeness.

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow. Please, don't let me compare you!" Julie's tone sounded a little arrogant. Matching the expression on her face, Eve felt that Zhu Li hasn't escaped from the role of Lisa at all, but is getting deeper and deeper.

"You will see." Eve was full of confidence and was ready to face the two actresses.

In order to experience Daisy's mood, she even took off the hard shell yesterday, completely handed over her heart to the darkness, and actively embraced loneliness and loneliness.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. If it lasts too long, it will easily cause psychological problems, such as depression or something.

Jolie has become one with the character, and although she has to act like a normal person after leaving the set, she is not essentially divorced.This way of acting is very dangerous, maybe it will cause a split personality in the future, or it will take a long, long time to separate the personality of Lisa who is acting.

Even Eve felt that Julie would do some incredible things in the future because she was too involved in filming.

Don't underestimate Julie, who has not yet become a superstar. She is actually a second-generation star. Her father, Jon Voight, is a movie star who has won Cannes, Golden Globes, and Oscars.Although Julie didn't directly get the resources from her father, her attention and news are definitely at the second-tier level.

Just this year, she officially divorced. Her ex-husband was Johnny Lee Miller, who played Sherlock Holmes in "Basic Deduction".

Compared with her, Eve is a pure novice, without any background at all, and the first film is still under intense post-production.

"What's in this box?" Julie kicked the box next to the sofa, very curious.

"It's all records."

"Whose record?"

Eve moved her body and opened the suitcase, took out the record player, and placed the vinyl discs one by one on the small coffee table, and introduced them in a familiar way: "This is from the Beatles, this is from the Rolling Stones, It's Led Zeppelin... the last Beatles album I've been listening to lately."

As she spoke, she tore off the foam wrapped on the record player, and then placed it on a table that was powered on one side. After the large vinyl disc was placed on it, the stylus began to work.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to like rock and roll, I can't tell!" Angelina Jolie stood up shaking her body, picked up the vinyl records and looked at them.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Eve didn't say anything about her preparation for the audition, even though Angelina Jolie might not be going, but it would be as little trouble as possible, "Actually, I just fell in love with rock and roll recently, and I didn't before Love this type of music."

"Rock and roll is a good thing. If you miss rock and roll, you miss your entire adolescence." Julie suddenly picked up a Rolling Stones record, and she pointed to the lead singer Mick Jagger on the cover and said, "Jagger is A playboy, even in his 50s, is still humorous and a good candidate for a lover."

Eve smelled gossip from it, and felt that the two people who couldn't get along with each other could be tricky?

Without going around the bush, Eve asked directly, "Do you know each other?"

"Of course I do. I admired Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles when I was a teenager. My first boyfriend was in a band. At that time, we rented a garage and could not go out all day. , listening to heavy metal music, I think it’s enough to have each other. Last year or the year before last, Jagger invited me to appear in the MV of his new song. Although he was married at that time, so what, age and marriage are not the reasons to stop us from being together .”

Eve didn't know whether Julie told herself these sensitive contents on purpose or not. She smiled and said, "You're drunk, I'll take you out."

"Maybe I'm drunk. See you tomorrow, dear Eve."

Julie lit a cigarette, shook her body with a porcelain cup and walked towards the door of the room. The whole state looked a little bad, just like the mental illness in the movie.

Eve didn't think much about it. After sending Julie away, she came back to collect the record and let the record player play music.

She doesn't intend to have a bad relationship with Julie, but she doesn't intend to become friends either, just colleagues.

……

Early the next morning, Eve drove to the hospital to change clothes and make up under Mandy's urging.

In the entire crew, only three people own a nanny car, namely Winona, Julie, and Ubi, who happen to be the most famous in the crew.

Obviously a separate temporary rest room was prepared for them above, but the treatment of the nanny car would not be crossed off the list.

This lounge is shared by two supporting actors, Keri and Eve. They are all important roles in the movie, and they are distinguished from the public dressing room of other extras and extras.

Keri has short blond hair, sometimes letting it fall behind her ears, and sometimes using a headband to tie two small pulls, looking a little childish.

"Good morning, I heard that Julie came to see you last night, have you..."

Eve didn't understand Keri's meaning, and asked, "Is there anything?"

Just blinking and smiling sweetly, who knows the meaning behind it.

Kerry looked around and found that there were no other people, then said silently with her mouth: "SEX (sex)"

Now it was Eve's turn to be surprised, she stood up from her chair in fright, and repeatedly denied, "Nooo! Why do you think so?"

"She once had an affair with a model, and I thought she liked you." Keri was extremely gossip, "It is said that this is one of the reasons for her divorce."

Eve shook her head, "No, she just came to apologize yesterday, and then chatted about rock music for a while."

"It's a pity. I thought she would have a chemical reaction with Winona, but Winona's boyfriend stayed on the set all day."

The behavior of forcibly collecting CP seems to be both Chinese and foreign.

Eve is very sure that she likes handsome men, and she doesn't like immature boys, otherwise she would accept hints from some people in the group when she was a super boy.

She has already seen Keli's gossip attribute, and she will get something new every time she meets. The ghost knows how this person gossips about herself behind her back.

Eve silently waited for the arrival of the makeup artists, and did not chat with Keri anymore, which made the chatter quite uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

It was their turn to play supporting roles after the protagonists finished their makeup, but another underage actor was given special treatment because of the disfiguring special effects makeup.

No matter how famous they are, actors have to wait when they arrive at the shooting scene.

When Eve and others started to make up, prop artists and set designers arrived late, and the photography team and lighting team were also waiting for the director's instructions.

After the director James Mangold closed the car door, he took the elevator to the shooting floor. After checking the lighting and props, he began to discuss with the camera crew how to shoot the camera later.

The equipment, lighting, and actors are all confirmed, and it is already [-]:[-] in the morning.

However, the preparatory work is not all over here. James took out the shot script he had drawn, called one actor after another to the front of him, instructed him carefully, and told him his shooting ideas.

Especially this scene involves moving positions, no actor can make mistakes, even the background actors must follow the established route.

If one person has a problem, no matter how well the rest of the actors perform, they have to start over.

"You stand against the wall in a moment, this is the point where the second camera can just shoot your whole body. Watching Lisa being escorted in by the state police, after Julie speaks, you turn around and leave, just walk out of the camera lens. "James Mangold personally went into battle to demonstrate his position, and drew a line with no trace on the floor with his leather shoes, "The camera will appear behind this line."

After the demonstration was over, Eve also tried it herself, rehearsing what the director taught just now, and after the camera operator gave her a thumbs up, she confirmed and said, "Understood, I have no problem here."

"Very good, no problem."

James Mangold is not a fan of long shots, and uses short shots unless absolutely necessary.

This is convenient for shooting, but it interferes with the emotional brewing of the actors.

Obviously, the emotion was just raised, but the result was interrupted; when the next scene was about to be filmed later, the corresponding emotion was required to be expressed immediately, and the coherence was weaker.

In this scene, Winona will not appear on stage, so she began to perform the duties of a producer, sitting next to the director's monitor, watching the play with her legs crossed.

James Mangold didn't return until Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg, the two actors who played the nurses in the mental hospital, and the two actors who played the state troopers in police uniforms each knew where they were going. Do a good job at your own position, and let the field recorder play the board.

After the sound of "啪", the set became silent. No matter what position the staff held their breath, they stopped all sounds and movements, for fear of disturbing the shooting there.

Eve lit the cigarette in her hand and leaned her back against the wall. She looked a little lazy overall, with a smile on her face. The Daisy she played came out to see Lisa's jokes at this time.

Lisa was caught after a month of sneaking out from the mental hospital, and now she looks like a mess!

The guard armor unscrewed the glass door, and Lisa, whose hands were handcuffed behind her back, raised her head and walked towards the corridor with a proud face. The moment she entered the door, she showed a mocking smile, as if saying that the old lady was back again.

The dean played by Whoopi Goldberg followed her in a white costume, holding a coat in his hand, with a heavy and helpless expression.

After Lisa entered the psychiatric hospital floor, the state police officer released the handcuffs without any extra words or actions.

Who knew that Lisa started to provoke others just after she came in, she raised her chin at Eve's position, "Hey, Daisy, did you let someone into your room?"

It's not even superficial concern, it's just disgusting others.

Eve has been facing the No. [-] camera all the time, and the disfigured little girl is looking at the wall a few meters behind her, which can be regarded as the background board.

She has been rehearsing for this first appearance for a long time. Now she is holding a cigarette in her left hand, and her cuffs are slid down to her elbows, revealing her smooth forearm. Her movements look a bit charming.

After hearing Julie's lines, she rolled her eyes, straightened her body leaning against the wall, and then breathed out smoke at the camera, without saying anything, turned around and gave the answer with the back of her head.

"Cut! Let's do it all over again."

James Mangold didn't say what went wrong with the performance, other than to put the actors back where they were.

Eve thought about it seriously, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her acting.

This mysterious way of shooting is the most annoying, and I don't know how to change it!

She handed the cigarette in her hand to the prop master, and then took a new cigarette in her hand.The police who played the role of state troopers handcuffed Angelina Jolie again, and a group of them walked out of the glass door as if nothing had happened just now.

This time, the performances of the actors and passers-by are basically unchanged.

Whoopi Goldberg, the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, added a little trick to herself, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, sighed, and broke her heart for Lisa.

And Angelina Jolie's performance has also changed, the expression on her face is much more subtle, as if every muscle is performing, two thin eyebrows are arched upwards, and the corners of her eyes are full of smiles, which adds a bit of provocation.

Eve was startled. The two of them obviously only changed slightly, but the effect was much better than the first time. If I copied the first performance intact, I would definitely be suppressed!

Between flashes and flints, she found a way to deal with it.

When the No. [-] camera took a close-up of the upper body, Eve turned her body sideways to show her curves. The impatience on her face became a little more impatient.

The moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, making a silent counterattack, swaying his body and walking towards his room.

"Cut!"

Eve was a little terrified when she heard the voice, and she didn't know how to act anymore if she continued to NG.

The first scene was tortured like this, and she began to vaguely look forward to it, so that she could exercise her acting skills.

Who knew that James Mangold showed a smile, "Good, all departments are preparing, we will shoot the next scene. Winona, you and Keri can stand at the door of your own room. Elizabeth, you have a part in this scene, you Remember standing in the middle of the corridor, remember the lines?"

12-year-old Elisabeth Moss nodded obediently: "I still remember."

"Very good, don't forget, you did a great job."

Probably only child actors can get a little encouragement from the director, and adult actors don't hear much praise at all.

There will be no Eve in the next scene. According to the setting of the plot, she has already walked into her room at this time, and she only needs to rest beside her.

She really needs a good rest.

The scene lasted less than a minute, but Eve's palms were already a little sweaty. Although she felt a little stressed when watching other people's acting yesterday, she felt that she could handle it well.

Now after going on stage, I realize how much pressure the director, camera, and other actors put on me!

Winona walked up to Eve and praised, "Your performance just now was great, and silence speaks louder than words."

Under the thorny Angelina Jolie's acting skills, she can still not be affected, which is already very good, and there is nothing young about her acting skills.

She pays special attention to Eve today, not only because of Eve's acting skills, but also because her friend who has known her for many years actually called her to pay attention to her movie.

Winona didn't believe that Keanu was really curious about "The Girl Who Moved the Soul". After asking, she found out that Keanu was curious about Eve's acting skills, and said that they might cooperate in the next movie.

This lame excuse seems to be full of holes, except that she doesn't catch Keanu's lie.

Who has ever seen an actor worry about the partner of the next movie, so he cares about what she is shooting now.

Originally, Winona had a good impression of Eve, and she was one of the few actresses who could handle her acting skills and aura.

Although many actors have great acting skills, they don't have much aura, can't support the characters, and can't show the charm of the characters.

After watching Eve's first scene today, Winona was relieved a lot. The acting skills during the audition were by no means a flash in the pan, but real material!

The author has something to say: Guess how many days we will have to update [-] words every day?

one day? no!

two days? no!

five days? no!

ten days! yes!
