Chapter 496 Gathering



Chapter 496 Gathering

A specific person's life cannot be fully shown in movies, and Nash is no exception.For example, he was married several times, and he had several gay relationships, and even had an illegitimate child at the age of 20. These things did not appear in the movie.Of course, it’s hard to say whether these are true or not. As I said before, when someone achieves something that no one else can, the critics will inevitably start with his life, family, and behavior habits.

Therefore, although the biographical film allows the director to handle it artistically, an excellent biographical film that can be recognized by both the audience and the prototype must carefully handle those controversial places, rather than using it as a gimmick like "Cell Love" ——This is the first thing Angela has to learn.

Moreover, the condensing and generalization of archetypal life must also have good ideas. For example, in "A Beautiful Mind", the grand theory of chasing girls is used to explain Nash's game theory, or three illusions are used to make the devil in Nash's brain and the struggling outsider In Hua, they are all very good-this is the second thing Angela has to learn.

Although the novel of "The Pianist" is also a type of biography, its calm and even cold style distinguishes it from ordinary biographical novels from the very beginning.That's why Angela chose "A Beautiful Mind". If she wants to achieve her goal, she has to fully learn the advantages of the two movies and combine them.

In the city of Cambridge, at the steps of the red brick arches about a few hundred feet away from the Massachusetts Building, a good show is being staged at this time. A middle-aged man was pinned to the ground by four people. He struggled desperately and kept shouting: "Come on, they're Russians!"

And the students gathered around in twos and threes, staring blankly, not knowing what happened.The middle-aged man who was pinned to the ground began to shout to his friend for help, but his friend picked up a little girl and turned away from him.

"Stop!" The voice came from behind the camera, Angela withdrew her gaze on the monitor, and then gave a thumbs up to the set: "Very good, this scene is over, take a break."

Following her words, several people on the ground immediately stood up and slapped her body for a while.The group of Harvard students who were pulled around to act as extras suddenly started buzzing.

"Lu Mo, the camera will be shot from here later." Angela set out tasks for the photographer after turning around a few times.

She walked to the place where Russell fell before, and made a gesture: "Go over them, instead of Nash's perspective, so try to be as short as possible. Dr. Rosen's thigh can appear on the edge of the camera, and others don't have to." .”

Several actors, including Russell, laughed lightly, and Angela continued to come to Paul Bettany, forming a frame with her hands: "Then put Paul and Dakota in the frame.

Following her, her head turned to the two actors, one big and one small: "Paul, you did a good job just now, keep maintaining that state and mood. Pick up Dakota, take a look, sigh, turn around, that's all."

"No problem, I've walked past it several times." Known as "the guy who looks like Jude Law but is cheaper", Paul Bettany gave a thumbs up confidently.

"As for you, Dakota, you are also outstanding, and you must continue to maintain it." Angela leaned over and touched the little girl's head with a smile. "On the other hand, your uniform is very beautiful."

"Thank you, if I can perform at a super level, can you give me a few more autographs." Dakota's big eyes blinked, and the little girl's innocence and cuteness were clearly seen.

"Of course there is no problem, but..." Angela rolled her eyes, "Whether you perform beyond the level is up to me. Don't you worry about me calling white into black?"

"Could it be that Miss Genius, who is a model of American women, would deceive a child?" the little guy asked very seriously.Angela was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, this flattery was really good.

She smiled and touched the little girl's head again, straightened up and went back to continue.At this time, among the students wearing clothes from the 70s and [-]s as extras, there was a noisy voice: "Miss Angela, can I rush down to help later? You know, as a Harvard student It is absolutely impossible for students to stand idly by in the face of such a situation!"

"If you dare to rush over, I will have someone pick you up and throw you out." Angela replied without looking back.

Several of these guys are characters who are afraid of chaos in the world, and they often want to make trouble.Of course, they were quite sensible and didn't mess around in the middle of the filming and didn't cause major problems, otherwise Angela would have asked them to throw them out.

"Your water." As soon as he returned to his seat, the assistant handed the purified water to Angela.

"Thank you." Although she replied with a smile, that smile seemed to be squeezed out. Her current life assistant is none other than Alizee, who is about to be 16 years old!

God knows how she would come to him and say that she wants to earn some pocket money, so she hopes to be her life assistant in these few months.Angela couldn't refuse because Alizee had been her assistant before.

But which guy instigated her to do this?While drinking water, she was puzzled.To be honest, Alizee, the life assistant, is still very caring. Although she doesn't live with her for as long as Annie, she still knows her various habits.It's just that if no one reminds Alizee, the girl will definitely not come to ask for it.

God, she's only 16.Angela thought with some annoyance, and Annie's face appeared before her eyes again.

Today is obviously not the time to think about problems, and Angela hasn't come up with a reason yet.A tall and beautiful figure had already walked in front of me: "When you direct, you always look confident."

"If a person doesn't even have self-confidence in the process of directing, then don't be a director." Angela raised her head and shrugged, "This is true no matter what you do, so are you ready, Kate?"

"Your answer just now is my answer." Kate folded her arms with a smile.

Angela shrugged, then patted Kate's arm with a smile: "Welcome to Boston, when did you arrive?"

She resisted the urge to hug, there were many people on the set here, and it was just north of the law school... "Legal Blonde" starring Jessica is currently being filmed.

"The plane was late, so I just arrived. I put my luggage in the villa and handed it over to Annie, and then I came directly." Kate smiled and explained kindly, and then looked at the middle of the set: "I shouldn't have missed anything, right?"

"Just a little bit," Angela said, staring at Kate's obviously tired face, "Actually, it's okay if you don't come today, anyway, you have no part in Harvard."

"Since you made time for me to observe Crowe's performance, of course you can't miss a single minute." Kate replied in a low voice, "From my own point of view, I also don't want to be completely led by others during the performance." Let's go."

Angela sighed softly, also lowered her voice, and said, "Then observe carefully."

Then continue to shoot, Russell's acting skills are really superb.Especially when the shot of him being pressed to the ground was taken from above, the despair and helplessness on his face made the irrelevant people around him look unbearable.Russell himself sat on the ground for several minutes after Angela yelled to stop because he put himself too much into it before recovering.

However, after seeing Kate, this guy reposted in a solid state, and complimented him meaningfully.

"Your performance in The Matrix was fantastic, like a female leopard walking in the dark, very wild, and instantly attracted people's attention. By the way, you have a really good figure Great." During the break, Russell and Kate said this when they chatted.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're very talkative, Russell?" Kate said, smiling.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with whether you can speak or not. When you express the feeling in your heart completely in words, any words are very beautiful." Russell said seriously.

"The problem is that no matter how rich the language is, it is impossible to fully express one's own feelings. Human vocabulary is actually very poor." Angela, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and interjected.

Before Russell could speak, she pointed to the studio: "Please get ready to start, Professor Nash."

"By the way, Jesse is staying at my place today, and Nat is also preparing for next semester's classes at school, how about we can hold a small party?" followed Angela and said to Kate beside her.

"Jessie is in Boston too?" Kate suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Yes, she is currently filming the exterior of the law school. If you paid attention when you entered Cambridge, you should have noticed." Angela shrugged, "Maybe Nat is over there too."

"What a coincidence." A complex look flashed in Kate's eyes, but she looked at Russell who left depressed because of being left out, and then laughed softly: "It's rare to see you like this."

"What does it look like? What does it look like?" Angela asked puzzled.

But Kate looked at her with a smile but didn't speak, Angela immediately reacted and rolled her eyes.

I don't know if it's because the director is unhappy or something else, but seeing that today's shooting is coming to an end, the last few shots still don't pass.Either he felt that Russell's fist on the doctor's face was boring, or he felt that Russell did not show a feeling of nervousness and panic, in short, something was wrong.

"Well, let's take a break for 10 minutes, and I'll think about it later." After thinking for a long time and exchanging opinions with the assistant director, Angela said this. It seems that the main reason for the previous NG still didn't achieve the effect she wanted.

However, as I said before, today is indeed not a good day to think about problems.After Angela walked around for a few minutes and exchanged views with the assistant director and the cameraman, two women walked over from outside one after the other.

"Angie!" Jessica waved her hand excitedly, stepped forward and hugged Angela gently.

"You've finished filming today's scene?" Angela asked with surprise, "I was planning to go see you after this is over, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

As she spoke, she greeted Natalie who was following her: "Hi, Nat."

Natalie didn't speak, but smiled as a response.

"The filming is over, otherwise I will appear in front of you in a costume." Jessica said with a sigh, "I should have come to see you when I was resting, although the costumes are a bit too pink, wearing them Still pretty good."

"Hi, Jesse, Nat." Kate came over to say hello again.

"Let's chat first, I still have a few shots to shoot here, and I can call it a day and go back after I'm done." Angela raised her hand and said so, then smiled apologetically and went to discuss with the assistant again.

A few minutes later she got the crew moving again: "Brace yourself, guys, we'll do it again."

Although most of the attention was still on the shooting, Angela sneaked a glance over there before the shooting started.Hmm... The three of them seem to be having a good conversation, but only Kate and Jessica are talking, and Natalie is listening in silently. She shouldn't see anything, right?

Nat often accommodates herself, but when it comes time to make up her mind to figure out one thing, it is difficult to stop it with her intelligence.Angela suddenly had a headache.Maybe I'm a little too big, should I be more cautious?

Headaches are headaches, today's shots will continue to be filmed, Angela can only temporarily forget these things.Perhaps it was because I focused all my attention on the director's task. After repeated shooting several times and changed several other angles, I finally passed a shot.This was a small encouragement, and the atmosphere on the scene was immediately mobilized, and even Angela was relieved.

The next shooting will be much smoother, and the seven or eight shots are finally completed after a total of 25 or [-] NG shots.When Angela announced that she would be here today, there was even sparse applause, which was obviously quite annoying.

"You guys had such a good chat." After handing over the finishing work to others, Angela walked up to Kate and the others, and held the three women affectionately: "If you have more to say, wait until you get back to the villa to continue. "

"Maybe we can hang out at Harvard and go back?"

"Yeah, I'd also like to know the difference between Cambridge City and Cambridge Town."

"I can be a guide, unless you want to show them around."

Although Jessica, Kate, and Natalie made demands in a hurry, Angela couldn't help but stuff them into the car: "There are opportunities to visit Cambridge, but it definitely shouldn't be now!"

It makes sense to do so. The crew of "A Beautiful Mind" didn't deliberately keep it secret when they moved into Harvard. In addition, the filming of "Legally Blonde", which had already started filming the day before, had already attracted some reporters, so now Angela has already Once in the spotlight - and what could be more reportable than Miss Talented's new movie?

"God knows if there are any paparazzi wandering around in the city of Cambridge right now. You all know that any trivial matter can be hyped up by them." Angela, who was sitting in the car, said this.

"We all understand you, don't we?" Natalie on the left shrugged.

"Yeah, although you are very rude, we didn't say anything." Jessica on the right spread her hands.

"Otherwise we would have left you behind and went to Harvard campus together." Kate in front turned her head.

All four of them are crowded into one car, so Kate sits in the co-pilot position while Jessica and Natalie sandwich Angela in the middle from left to right. Is this a disguised embrace? ?

"Got it." Angela rolled her eyes in a drawn-out voice.

Under Anne's arrangement, the party arrangement in the villa was very satisfactory, especially the rich dinner for several women to feast on.Annie showed her culinary skills to the fullest and cooked many special dishes.Although Kate and the others think it's good, in Angela's eyes, the word good can only be used on Italian and French food, and Chinese food can only be said to be better than Aunt Jennifer - at least it's no longer sticky One slice - it's way too early to be at grandma's level.Kung Pao Chicken last time... Forget it, forget it.

After dinner, several women chatted casually near the bar counter, played some melodious music and drank some red wine.

Of course, things like whiskey should be forgotten.

"Why?" Jessica asked curiously, "I have heard you say countless times that drinking whiskey will become terrible, but I have never seen such a terrible way. Don't worry, so many of us Here, is there anything I can do about you?"

"That's right, Jesse, even if two more people can't help me, if you don't want to get hurt, it's better not to let me stay away from that damn whiskey!" Angela raised her eyebrows.What a joke, drink whiskey while you're all in front, God knows what outrageously horrible things will happen if you go crazy.

Jessica, who was rejected, curled her lips sullenly, and then thought of something to wink at Natalie and Kate.Kate, who had experienced Angela's whiskey-drinking incident, pretended not to see it, but Natalie, for some reason, said with great interest, "Why don't we hide in another room and come in through a crack in the door or something?" Watching you. That way if you get drunk and go crazy it won't affect us, won't it?"

Angela narrowed her eyes and looked at Natalie, hoping to see what she was thinking.But the other party was sitting on the high stool outside the bar with his legs crossed, watching him with a smile, as if he asked him casually.

"Aside from this, can't we talk about other things tonight?" Angela showed a displeased look, and at the same time secretly gave Alizee a helpful look.She didn't ask Kate for help, and God knows if it would fall into Natalie's eyes-bringing Alizee over to chat was the right thing to do.

After receiving the distress signal, Alizee squinted her eyes, opened her mouth to show her white teeth, and said, "She will hunt you down, no matter which room you are in, she can smell your smell and hear you." voice, and seek you out. It is impossible to escape her clutches unless you run far away from the start."
