Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 560

Blue sky, white clouds, plenty of sunshine and undulating breeze, everything looks so clean and beautiful.However, if the camera moves down to several slightly old houses around, the rough atmosphere will immediately hit you.

"Cut!" Perhaps because of the cowboy territory here, Angela's original clear voice also had a sense of depth.But in comparison, her body language is more exaggerated.

"What kind of expression do you have, Jack! Are you grasping the emotions of the characters! Do you remember what we said during the discussion?!" Angela waved her arms up and down, her excited expression made her look a little hideous.

"Of course, of course I remember." Gyllenshire pressed the cowboy hat on his head, lowered his head and said falteringly.At the same time, I was still a little bitter, why did this woman eat so hard that I couldn't even refute loudly.

"Remember?" Angela snorted coldly, folded her arms and leaned in front of him: "Then, please tell me, dear Mr. Gyllenshire, why did Jack Twist pass by the car?" Looking at Ennis Delmar?!"

People around couldn't help showing sympathetic expressions, and Heath who was not far away simply turned around and didn't look at him.Gyllenhill smiled bitterly in his heart, and said bravely: "Under normal circumstances, men don't 'look' at men, at most they only glance at the same sex. When a man stares at another man, he is found It is an implicit social norm that men are the watchers and women are the ones being watched. Men will be more accustomed to admiring that they like women, and women will be more accustomed to it. Sexually being watched by men. Therefore, after taking a glance at Delmar, Twist continued to observe him through the car mirror, which means that Twist already had a feeling... that he fell in love with Delmar. "

"Very well, thank you for your explanation." Angela raised her mouth and clapped her hands coldly. "Then, the next question, did you grasp this emotion just now? Did you express it impartially?"

"Well... this... I think there is still something missing..." Gyllenshire continued to press his hat.

"It's just lacking?" Angela showed an obvious snort expression, "It's far from it! I told you that when he used the car mirror to look at Del Mar, it was a kind of reserved behavior, but see Your expression just now!"

"It's hard..." Gyllenshire kept rolling his eyes in his heart, he suddenly felt regretful, he wanted to come to participate in the performance of this movie because of Mao, why was he fooled by this woman back then ?

"Difficult? Of course it is difficult! Ever since I asked you to act in the movie, such difficulties have been expected, but this is not an excuse for not doing well!" Angela waved her arms passionately, "We can't beat us once Just two shots, two shots but we'll take three or four shots, as long as we're not satisfied, I don't mind repeating it 99 times like Mr. William Wheeler!"

Following her, she crossed her arms and looked at Gyllenhaal, sneering with a little narrowness: "Work hard, Jack, I really really don't mind when you two kiss scenes...repeat 99 times !"

The corners of Gyllenshire's eyes twitched, and Ledger next to him also smiled wryly, but Angela didn't care at all, and sat back behind the camera and waved: "Attention everyone, let's continue!"

The production crew immediately became busy, and no one dared to say a word under the "obscene power" of Miss Genius.Well, it might be a bit exaggerated to say this, although the filming has been intermittent in the past few days, either something is wrong or there is a problem, especially for the two leading actors, once they are not satisfied, they will be trained from beginning to end.However, everyone could see that Angela wasn't trying to find fault on purpose, she was just... very excited.

Yes, very excited, even though they mercilessly ridiculed their mistakes, the encouragement in their tone was still very obvious.She might have had some good idea and was impatient to realize it, but...it seems a little bit too much, right?Many staff who have been working with Angela have this idea.

Miss Genius has done similar things before, and it didn't last long. It's not like she's always cocking her nose and raising her eyebrows now. She must be... on some kind of drug, right?Among so many people, only Mavis probably knew the reason, but she had never seen what Angela who directed the movie looked like, so she didn't tell anyone about it.

Well, no matter what, Angela is the undisputed boss on the set, no matter what she says, everyone can only listen obediently and then keep their heads down.Although she was stricter than before, she was still very measured. Besides, most of the problems fell on the two male actors, didn't they?

In fact, Angela didn't really want to do this, but after putting the movie on the agenda with some reluctance like rushing a duck to the shelves——"Brokeback Mountain" was originally used as a backup, if the plan was completed before she If you need a statuette for the best director, then you need it to appear on the stage, and the timing is just right—you suddenly find that even if the plan is disrupted, it still has great value, and you will naturally be very excited.

In addition, when Ledger and Gyllen Hill were invited to play these two roles, she had already set a more stringent tone.In any case, these two guys are only in their early twenties, and their acting skills are still relatively immature compared to those mature actors-Ledger is better, and Gyllenhill is half behind him-so their acting time span from How can the charm of men in their twenties to forties not be honed repeatedly?

Although this movie felt a bit rushed, although Angela had warned herself that it was a gamble when she selected the "original cast".But it doesn't mean that she has to sacrifice the quality of the movie. Don't forget that in the current plan, Angela must always keep one step away from the top.

After these two problems were combined, Angela simply made herself more public on the set, so as to speed up the transformation of Gyllenshire and Ledger, and... at the same time, she could let herself vent some of her stagnation. .

Of course, she is not an idiot who backfires, so she chooses to "torture" them by taking repeated shots.As for efficiency and progress...it doesn't matter, as long as the quality of the movie is maintained, and I can also take this opportunity to study the camera language as much as possible, anyway...as long as it's work.

In this case, by the beginning of July, the overall shooting progress was not even one-fifth. Fortunately, this situation had been considered at the beginning, so all the carefully selected shots were taken in the early stage. .The only trouble is that you have to go back and forth between Montana and Alberta.

As for the kissing scene of the two, although Angela had threatened Gyllen Hill, she did not act.There are not many kissing scenes of the two in the movie, but it can be said that each has a different meaning.And now, although Gyllenhill and Ledger have formed a deep friendship when they were training together, they are still a little bit powerless to let them kiss each other intimately without reservation. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of repeated shooting Let them better integrate into the feelings of the characters.

Although the progress has been delayed a lot because of this, it is undeniable that the effect is good. From the very beginning, each shot can not be passed without NGing 99 or [-] times, and it has gradually developed to a shot that only needs to be shot [-] or [-] times. Ten times, and single digits from time to time.I have to say that both Ledger and Gyllenshire are very serious and talented actors, and Angela couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing them.If she had to, she would actually film the kiss scene between the two of them [-] times. If she didn't pay for it, it didn't mean it was a joke.

"I need to modify the shooting schedule. If you have time, please help select the shots of this mountain area and the southern suburbs of Courtley Town and give them to me." Angela said to the girl here while flipping through the documents in her hand.

"All?" Alizee, who was holding a pen and a memo, looked up and asked. She came here when the production crew was just starting up, and Anne just mentioned it a little before she agreed.Admittedly, Angela's life and work are much more orderly with her by her side.

"Well... no," the girl shook her head, "Exclude the ones that have already been filmed and the ones after Delmar's divorce. Although Heath did a good job today, it's better to shoot the scenes of youth first, and it's better to take it slowly. .”

"Understood, is there any more?" Alizee asked after remembering these.

"That's it for now, I'll talk about the rest later." Angela closed the document and stretched firmly, then said to Alizee in a joking "sad" tone: "I really don't know what will happen if I don't have you by my side in the future." , how messed up and messed up my work and my life will be."

Alizee frowned slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just gave her a blank look, turned and walked towards the door of the trailer.

"It's so boring..." Angela mumbled, and then raised her voice: "By the way, I'm not in a rush to ask for these things, so remember to attend the bonfire party tonight, and don't shirk."

"Understood." At the same time as the concise words sounded, the person had disappeared at the door, and Angela at the table could only shrug.

It was gradually getting late, and when the sun went down completely, the blazing bonfire was lit, even if the lights in the camp were turned on, they were no more dazzling than the dancing fire.The crew walked around the bonfire, chatting and laughing, preparing food, drinks and all kinds of interesting little things that can be used at the party.

This is where Angela came to see it on purpose. In the movie, the two characters meet on Brokeback Mountain. It is a special taste to light a bonfire on the calm lake and look up at the mountains, forests and star-studded night sky.

The reason why the party is held here is that tomorrow is the weekend and everyone has to rest, and secondly, it is a small celebration.While filming here today the scene where Twist and Delmar clash after their tryst ends, several of them went off at once!

To be honest, even though Ledger and Gyllen Hill are in great shape, Angela still has no plans to start shooting those more intimate scenes.Most of the time I came to the mountain these days is to shoot those fragmentary shots, such as delivering goods up the mountain, guarding the flock, etc., at most it is to shoot two people stripping off their clothes and happily jumping into the lake from a protruding rock from a distance. inside.

The reason why this conflicting scene was filmed was completely accidental. Angela originally took a test shot with the mentality of giving it a try, to test what level Ledger and Gyllen Hill can reach now.Although the two did not wear makeup at the time, and the trial filming not only included the conflicting part, but also the first emotional intersection between the two on Brokeback Mountain, but when Gyllenhill grabbed Heath's collar and yelled , his resentful appearance and Heath's dodging eyes made Angela's heart move slightly.

So the girl immediately called a makeup artist to dress them up as if they were in their decades—Gyllenhill with a mustache was still very masculine—and then started the official shooting.Although they NGed a few times at the beginning, following Gyllenhill's reprimand, Heath frowned and turned his head to show a sad and inseparable expression, the next two of them are in good condition Surprisingly, the filming of this scene was finished in one breath!

At the end of the filming, Angela couldn't help leading everyone to applaud, but when asked why the two of them were suddenly in such a state, they couldn't answer the question, and finally Gyllenshire shrugged Shoulder: "Maybe it's because I held my feelings for too long during this period, and suddenly exploded."

Regardless of whether Gyllenhill's statement is correct or not, this shooting made Angela think that it was time to officially start shooting in all aspects, so there was the action of asking Alizee to check the itinerary.

"It seems that you are still very happy." Angela walked up to Tanxiao Gyllenhill and Ledger and others with a cup, and raised the cup to them with a half-smile: "I hope I didn't disturb to you."

"Well...of course not, in fact...we're talking about you." Gyllenshire also raised his glass.

"Really? What did you say? Tell Michelle, I'm a tyrant?" Angela sat down and said jokingly, while looking at Michelle Williams who was next to Ledger.Michelle came to the crew to report four days ago. Originally, she also came to shoot some fragmented scenes. Now Angela adjusted the plan to allow her to play with Heath.

"Of course not, they are saying...you are a person who pursues perfection." Michelle took the conversation and defended them.

"Yes, yes, people who pursue perfection are often intolerant of other people's opinions, arrogant, and arbitrary." Angela raised the corner of her mouth, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with herself.

And Gyllenhill grinned wryly and shrugged slightly to Ledger and Michelle, with an expression that obviously said: Did you see, I was right.Although she had a panoramic view of his expression and movements, Angela just smiled.

Basically from the day he joined the crew, Gyllenhaal told his companions and friends not to try to argue with Miss Genius.And use my bloody college life as an example.

After the news reached Angela's ears, she was dumbfounded and didn't bother to argue with him.Although she only remembers taunting Gyllenshire once, someone swears that she doubled this guy at a sorority party, plus this time "tortured" him enough to let him vent alright.

The addition of Angela did not make a few young people feel restrained. Even though she is the director or producer, she has the final say on the entire crew, but she is still a 21-year-old beautiful girl, and she looks heroic in her denim-like attire. vigorous.In addition, she knew exactly when to say something, and Ledger, Michelle, and several other young people chatted happily with her.

As for Gyllenshire, he only said a few words, and occasionally came up with some interesting ideas, such as——

"Are you interested in singing or playing a song, Angela?" He looked at Angela with a smile, "Besides actor and director, you are also a singer, a famous singer."

"Want to hear me sing so much?" Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Of course, you have several songs that I like to listen to." Michelle couldn't help interjecting with surprise, and Ledger booed after Gyllenshire encouraged him with his eyes: "Let's play one." , let us hear what the most beautiful singing voice in the United States is like."

This time the praise was a bit high, Angela hesitated for a few seconds and then waved her hand with a smile: "Let's forget it..."

Before she finished speaking, a guitar was stuffed into her arms, followed by the sound of knocking on a glass.

"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet," Alizee who came to Angela's side at some point yelled loudly, "Next, Angela will present us a beautiful song."

The noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone started to applaud after a few seconds.Angela, whose mouth was twitching, couldn't help pulling Alizee, and asked in a low voice, "Lily, what are you doing?!"

"Singing is good for you." Alizee still had the same expression for thousands of years, but there seemed to be other intentions in her words.Angela couldn't help being stunned, and before she could react, Alizee had already walked aside.

This guy... Looking at the people who looked at him after applauding, Angela didn't know what expression she should have.She quickly came to her senses, and after thinking for a few seconds, she walked to the bonfire: "Hey... I'm sorry, although I had this plan, I suddenly don't know what to sing. So, I think, simple playing A song is ready."

After I owed everyone, Angela straddled the guitar on her body and closed her eyes. Scenes of pictures flashed through her mind, such as the beautiful scenery I have seen over the past few days, the dispute scenes shot today, and the scenes from the novel "Brokeback Mountain". Snippets and roles in Florida just over a month ago...

The fingers gently plucked the strings, and the notes popped up were as flat as water, blowing through the forest like a breeze and flowing slowly like a stream.It's not intense, but the strings seem to be plucking in the hearts of the people, whispering the melancholy and sadness of the lover who is no longer by his side.
