Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 376

The small town of Parapabo is an inconspicuous town among countless satellite cities around Greater Los Angeles. Its weather is the same as that of Los Angeles. It is always sunny with no wind and little rain. The characteristics of the city are sparse independent housing, simple commercial areas, not wide streets, and some abandoned factory houses and the like.

A semi-new gray-blue jaguar was parked behind an independent wooden house, and the crew members had already taken their positions, only waiting for Angela, who was next to the sports car, to finish speaking for the three actors before shooting could begin.

"Note that you have to show less neuroticism and more depression and boredom, but you must always carry that anxiety and anxiety with you, understand?" Angela said to Hugh Jackman, and the "Wolverine" in front of her "Although he is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his height of 6 feet 3 inches makes him look very thin. With the stubble on his face and the work of a makeup artist, he looks a little haggard and decadent, but his bright eyes and two thick lines The eyebrows have made him look very energetic.

"May I share my opinion, Miss Angela?" Hugh rubbed his chin and thought, "Although Shebir has lost short-term amnesia, he still has biases in his subconscious, such as Teddy's attitude, so he communicated with Rebecca before contacting, maybe he should take it easy?"

"I'm glad you have your own ideas, Hugh. In fact, I didn't go into the details of Shebir's specific situation, because everyone will have their own interpretation. A good director will only express half of his intentions, and let the audience guess. The other half, so you want to add your own understanding, I have no objection, but you can't take the place away!" Angela nodded with a smile.

Hugh Jackman is really a good choice, not to mention that his appearance is very suitable, just losing at least 8 pounds for this movie is enough to show his professionalism, except that he was not in shape on the first day of shooting , The performance at other times is not bad, and the acting skills are indeed very solid.So Angela was quite complacent. If she hadn't made several phone calls to "Wolverine", this guy would have gone back to Australia for vacation with his wife.

"As for you, Charlie, I don't need to say much, just follow your current mood. Although the shooting time is not long, your performance is very good." Angela turned to Charlize Theron again, this time At that time, Charlize's golden curly hair had been dyed brown-black, and the makeup artist deliberately made her eyes swollen and her face sallow. Although she was not ugly and did not change much, it was still the same as the glamorous look before. It's quite different, but this way she does have more room to play.

"Thank you." Charlize smiled reservedly and didn't say much.

"It's you in the end, Joe. I don't need to say too much. Your performance is currently the best. But you have to pay attention to one thing. Although the post-editing method uses flashbacks to show one by one, the whole story unfolds. The timeline is not reversible, so don't bring this emotion into it." Angela looked at the biggest supporting role in the entire movie.

"No problem, I will pay attention." Joe Pantoliano nodded immediately. He is now completely different from the bald image in "The Matrix". Although he still has a beard, he has a small crew cut and wears glasses. , but there is no trace of elegance.

Although Angela said in her mouth that she would give up the role of "Sypher" as Teddy, she went to the crew of "The Matrix" before going to the UK to attend the wedding. It didn't go well, either I didn't have an impression, or I had an impression but it wasn't suitable for the movie "Memento".

So after the wedding, Angela went straight to Joe and said that I need you for my new movie. Fortunately, Joe's part of the scene is almost finished, and the girl promises that it won't be too long, and no matter what she still has the name of a producer Head, so Ridley adjusted the filming plan after asking Joe's opinion, and asked Angela to loan him out.

"Okay, guys, cheer up, let's start shooting now." The girl clapped her hands and said loudly, signaling everyone to take their positions and then sat back on the director's chair. With the announcement of the scene and the sound of knocking on the wooden board, the camera started turn.

This is the 3rd day since the filming started, and it is also the 6th day after returning from my uncle's wedding ceremony. Because the wedding ceremony is relatively low-key, it is inevitable for everyone to know about it. It is also inevitable for the media to chase and intercept Angela. What's more, the girl has not made any response to the failure of "Stealing and Kidnapping".

So in order to avoid the sight of the paparazzi, and the shooting time itself is very tight, after the "Matrix" crew got Joe Pantoliano, Angela immediately brought everyone to Parapabo. The start of "Memory Fragments" was very low-key, there were not many actors and the main ones had already been pre-determined, and we were careful when filming in a small town, so no reporters have chased here so far.

"Cut!" Angela yelled loudly, although she frowned slightly, she waved her hands to Hugh and Charlize in the room: "It's nothing, you are all great, of course, Charlie, it would be better if your tone could be more sharp .”

She walked around the living room with her arms folded, and looked at the frame with her hands before calling out to the lighting engineer: "Polly, let the light in the living room be softer, so you don't have to deliberately show whether it's morning or night." afternoon."

Polly nodded immediately, and waved to the assistant opposite him: "Change to an orange filter paper, Karl!"

Angela walked up to the photographer again at this time: "Andy, the close-up of the second shot is changed to the upper body of the two, the angle of the fourth and seventh shots are exchanged, and the fifth and...others remain the same, Let's do it all over again!"

"Your scheduling is becoming more and more proficient. It's unbelievable. You must know that when you were filming "Run Lola Run", you were still asking the camera to move completely according to the angle you specified." Matthew handed over the pure water bottle Arriving in front of Angela who sat back in her seat.

"Thank you," the girl smiled and took a big sip, and then gestured to the director to let him start at the right time, "Everyone is constantly learning and improving, I am a little luckier, and I learn things faster. "

"So you're going to shoot the same way, but with the same crew, except the actors." Matthew shrugged.

"It's not the same hand, this time the trick is more thorough." Angela shook her head, then looked at Matthew with a smile as if remembering something: "Why, you lose confidence in me after failing once?"

"Of course not," Matthew quickly raised it up. "I just want to say that I have to learn my lesson this time, otherwise the last time I failed in vain."

"Don't worry, you'll know when the post-production is complete." Angela said confidently. At this time, an assistant hurried over and whispered something in her ear, and the girl immediately stood up with a look of surprise. Getting up and looking towards the door, the beautiful figure immediately came into view, and even waved to himself playfully.

The happy Angela was about to call out the other party's name, but at this time the voice of the scene reporter sounded: "The shooting of the 98th shot of Act 27 has begun."

The girl had no choice but to close her mouth, spread her hands to show a helpless look, followed by gestures and told her to wait for a while, and the other party responded with a sweet smile of understanding, and then stood silently at the periphery of the crowd. Angela quickly sat down. Let's start to observe this shooting.

"Your director level seems to be getting higher and higher." When Jessica said this, the two were walking slowly around the house under the bright sunshine while the crew was resting. They didn't want to leave It's too far away, the law and order in the town is not bad, but it's also not that good, anyway, anything that might happen can happen.

"I don't know when, my dear Jesse also started to flatter?" Angela said with a narrowed smile, her eyes curved.

"Do I need to kiss your ass, Miss Genius," Jessica rolled her eyes, "I just think you're more of a director than James, who's always running around saying Talk to there."

The James that Jessica was talking about was the Chinese director named James Huang who directed "The X-Files" back then. He is now leading a group of people to film "Death Comes" in a nearby town.Angela had told the deputy manager Bruce before that the filming of "Memento" would not affect the preparation of the film, so "Death Comes" was a few days earlier than "Memento". Before.

The choice of director was settled after Angela had several conversations with the chubby businessman-like James, especially on this script. The girl was 80% sure that this chubby guy was the Huang in her memory. What Yi, naturally sent out the invitation very sincerely.James Huang also wanted to enter the film industry, and was very interested in Angela's script. He also agreed that a Chinese director was needed to take the shot, so they hit it off.

"That's not the same, my dear. After all, James is the first time to be a film director, and he still needs to work with the crew." Angela shook her head. "I'm different from him. I'm used to working with these staff members. If I were replaced by someone I was not familiar with, I would not necessarily be able to do better than him."

Because he is more experienced than me, the girl said this in her heart, and then changed the subject: "So how is your performance? I think you should have some experience."

"It's...okay." Jessica curled her lips, feeling a little depressed suddenly, "It's just that the number of NGs is a little bit more, probably the bottom few of the whole crew."

"Okay, don't be so unconfident, I don't believe that James or other guys haven't praised you?" Angela gently hugged Jessica, "Besides, you have managed to win this opportunity, it is impossible to just let it go give up?"

"Of course not," Jessica shook her head, "I'm confident that I can act better. James or Edward or a few others say that I'm actually pretty good, but these are achieved after a lot of NG, like Edward There are almost no shots that pass at once!"

"Idiot, didn't that person come here during NG?" Angela held her face and looked into Jessica's eyes and said seriously, "When you accompanied me to film "Mirds in Heaven", didn't I often NG? Don't think too much, dear, you know? I think horror movies are the best for you to hone your acting skills. Your biggest charm and biggest flaw is that your smile is too charming, understand? You have to learn to put it in and out ! I'm sure you'll do it."
