CHAPTER 21, FRIEND

"Thank you, thank you." Josie gently lifted the hem of her organza shirt today, and made a curtain call with a bow, "I have to say, I am really honored, thank you to the costume team, thank you to the sponsors, thank you Paramount..."

She cocked her small chin that still had a round feeling, and the expression on her face was unabashedly triumphant, "The main thing is, thank God for giving Josie. The perfect face for Ms. Horton. Oh, she's really a jewel on earth, the light of Hollywood – does anyone want an autograph now, maybe it's worth a lot in the future? "

"Okay, that's enough, you can act so well in front of the camera for a while." Amy couldn't help but laugh and tapped her finger at Josie's brain, "What a narcissistic little ghost, but this face is really not bad." "

Josie just smiled and didn't speak.

Brettney laughed along and said, "I'm sure Amy is complimenting you, sweetheart." "

Josie hooked her hand, Brettney held her arm like a kitten, and the two girls had just entered the group, and they were already quite good - maybe this is the wonderful fate between the two?

Paul on the side. Luther felt that she seemed a little redundant, because the atmosphere between the three ladies was too relaxed and pleasant, making it difficult for others to step in abruptly, which made it difficult for her usual clever humor cell to play, so she had to show a smile.

At this time, Josie noticed his embarrassment, stretched out her hand and said: "It seems that we haven't officially said hello yet, I'm Josie. Horton, call me Josie or Horton, whatever you like, after all, we still have a long time to shoot together. "

"Of course, I believe we will get along happily, just call me Paul." Luther shook her hand, and now his smile was much more natural, and he gasped, "Whew, oh my God, just now I was like an unlucky bastard who went to the wrong bathroom, but I have to say, your relationship is really good." "

"Hi Paul, I'm Brettney and I'm playing 'Moss', who has a crush on you, in the movie." Brettney smiled and shrugged her shoulders before saying hello, "Oh, that's inevitable, we've known each other since auditioning, if it weren't for Josie, I would have missed the role." "

Josie smiled and said, "Hey Brettney honey, this is not my credit, but you deserve it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Amy." And I think it's even luckier that we didn't miss each other, you understand? "

"I know, we're already friends." Brettney's big watery eyes were charming, "But then you gave me courage, which was very important to me - you don't understand what you brought me." "

At that time, Josie didn't think that it was just her own casual words, and she actually gave herself another sincere friend, and at this time, looking at Brettney's familiar and unfamiliar face, she temporarily lost her sharp teeth and had to smile.

Friends...

This is really a distant term.

Josie's best friend is her sister.

In addition, she also had friends who grew up together, and many years later they became strangers; had a friend who was in the same dormitory in college and later made her ribbed a knife for a man; There are also many friends who have met in social situations and they never mind falling for profit.

Her father once personally warned her that the relationship between friends is very ethereal, and there is nothing in this world that will not be betrayed, except for the interests and power in his own hands - how pitiful, the old man who said this, in the end, did not believe the mistress and the illegitimate child, so that the betrayal was caught off guard.

In contrast, Josie's childhood sweetheart's "friend" extended a helping hand to her, but unfortunately, Josie was still young at that time, and youth represented more impulsive and extreme, she was bent on winning, even if she was unscrupulous and betrayed, it was life that made the misunderstanding between the two deeper and deeper.

And once the mustard is produced, it is difficult to go back to the beginning.

Josie's smile became a little sad, and she looked at Brettney in front of her, her eyes slightly in a trance.

Hopefully, don't let her down this time.

The attendant over there gestured to Amy with a ready gesture, and Amy reminded: "It seems that you are all in the play, children, come and go." "

After a while, the field affairs began to shout: "Keep quiet at the scene!" "

The radio microphone is very sensitive, so with such a shout, everyone will know that the shooting is about to officially begin.

The assistant director said: "Start recording——"

The sound engineer responded: "The recording begins. "

The assistant director continued: "Start filming - "

The photographer said, "The recording begins. "

The movie "Dominant", the first scene, the first time.

Snap -

The field notes the board.

Amy. Hecklin shouted, "Action! "

The first official film shooting, which belonged to Josie, finally began.

The heroine of "Sole Leadership" is a wealthy California daughter Cher, sixteen-year-old Cher is the daughter of a barrister, her daily life in addition to school is shopping to swipe her father's card, is a school figure. Cher is smart and beautiful, with a clever eloquence, and easily improves her grades from C to B after making up a few stories, but to her surprise, her good eloquence inherited from her father is helpless with a teacher.

The teacher said that Cher's bad debate could not get her grades through, and Xue'er was depressed, but she had a whim while shopping, and improved the teacher's mood by pulling a red line, so she got better grades. She then meets transfer student Moss and prepares to help the unremarkable Moss become a popular girl and find a boyfriend.

However, Moss's change exceeded Xue'er's expectations, not only robbing Cher of her popularity and status on campus, but also frankly asking Cher to help match herself and Xue'er's stepbrother...

It can be said that although this story is taken from Austin's "Emma", it basically has no connection with the original, this is just a lighthearted comedy.

Cher has everything any sixteen-year-old girl could want.

Beautiful looks, countless fashions, wealthy family, beloved father, caring stepbrother... And a lot of friends.

Everyone was liking her.

Such a life is too perfect, it's just like a Barbie spin-off movie, just a Barbie's little boyfriend Ken.

Sixteen-year-old "Josie" may enjoy being surrounded by people because she craves love and attention, but now Josie only sees it as a job.

She analyzes Amy while analyzing. What exactly did Heckling want, while thinking back to his twelve-thirteen-year-old self on the filming site.

What was Josie like back then?

Her originally compatible parents have not yet looked separated, and the brother and sister of the dragon and phoenix fetus are in their prime, and one has entered the family business as an heir to cultivate, which has been praised by the board of directors; One went to the entertainment industry to sing and act to shoot MVs, and is in love with a superstar.

It can be said that Josie was the sister-in-law and good sister of countless star-chasing girls and teenagers, and she can be called a template for winners in life.

Only then a man-made car accident destroyed all the good.

Huh, the turning point in her life always seems to be related to car accidents?

In front of the camera -

Josie showed a carefree sweet smile, I don't know what human suffering, I don't know what love and hate, the teenage girl has not yet opened her feelings, and all she wants in her mind is the simplest happiness in the wanton youth.

Amy. Hecklin said the card, watched a playback of the monitor footage, and gave the first one.

It's a smooth start, but it's just the beginning.

Josie's memory is good, and the lines are memorized very slippery, but it does not mean that the same is true for other people in the play.

"Cher, I think..." Luther snapped his hair and scratched his hair, "Sorry, I forgot the word." "

Amy. Hecklin didn't accuse anyone, just asked habitually: "Need a teleprompter?" "

As a director, she is simply overly gentle.

But that's just a newbie benefit on the first day of booting... The female director went crazy like a roaring lioness.

"No, I think I can." Luther said.

"Give you two minutes." Amy nodded, "Let's do it again." "

The two minutes came quickly, but this time it was Josie who went wrong, and Amy thought she was acting well, that is, she forgot the camera position, and most of her face was replaced by Paul. The back of Luther's head blocked it.

Josie apologized immediately.

It's not that she can't remember Amy's pre-arranged positioning, but whenever she starts performing, it's easy to get too focused and forget that there is still a position.

But if she keeps remembering the position, her performance status will be greatly reduced.

This is also a problem she encountered in the previous crew.

Ernest's solution is to give her more close-ups and close-ups, minimize the shots in the middle scene, and play to Josie's advantages of micro-expressions and emotional rendering to highlight her face.

It can be said that until now, Josie has not formally studied acting, nor has she learned it.

The famous Stella. Adler's acting class, she went to audit a few sessions, but for her limited use.

For Josie, acting is a kind of empathy.

Experiencing the emotions of the character, bringing herself into the role, and deciding the behavior according to the will of the character is the whole process of her performance.

So she can't play the kind of roles that have nothing in common with herself, like Louise. Reiner's The Earth, Jane. Wyman's "The Peasant Girl", Betty. Davis and Joan. Fenden's "Lan Qiu Shock"... Although Betty and Joan are probably true colors.

Josie only played the role of "Cher" in her true colors.

But she does not have the experience and level of the two predecessors immersed in film art for many years, and currently only cheats with her natural sense of lenses, and some learn.

After filming every day, Josie's whole person was like a sponge after being squeezed, and she didn't even have the strength to drive home, so she directly parked her repaired Ferrari in the garage of the filming location and took a taxi back to Santa Monica.

Sure enough, it was necessary to hire a driver and assistant.

Josie, whose body was almost hollowed out, took a fragrant bubble bath and completed basic care from head to toe, only then did she feel alive.

She put on her dressing gown and went downstairs, Dorota had already cooked a simple dinner and was watching "One Flew Over the Sea of Love" on the living room sofa, a popular soap opera on FOX.

Josie glanced at it a few times as she passed by, and it seemed to be quite good-looking.

"There was a gap during the filming of "Alone" and "Life Because of You", and I suggest you find a cameo appearance in the TV series."

In the restaurant, Josie received a call from Martha.

"Yes." Josie said, "But it's not very necessary. "

Martha said, "Tell me your reason." "

Josie put down her fork and wiped the corners of her mouth, "There are too few roles suitable for my age, and the kind of characters that only have a few lines or a bad script are not attractive to me." My idea was to finish the movie at hand and then think about other things. "

A film of "Dominance" can not be found, but Van Amy. Hecklin's script is written a little bloody, or the costume team has a smaller budget, and the role of Cher may be reduced to mediocrity, no different from ordinary youth films.

Now that Josie had gotten the piece of cake she wanted the most at the moment, the rest of the snacks became less important, so she was naturally picky.

Think about it, she just starred in a phenomenal movie that is about to be released, is there still a role that turns around and goes elsewhere to participate in a slim public audition and fight for a few lines without a few lines?

Of course, there are still movies suitable for Josie as the heroine, but instead of spending extra energy, it is better to seize the opportunity in front of her and go all out to complete the shooting of "Alone", which is the most important thing for her at present.

Martha seemed to think about it for a moment before replying, "You are the boss, listen to you." "

Josie finished dinner, and Dorota was still watching her soap opera with relish, and she didn't stop doing things in her hands, and she was sorting out the yarn balls.

She couldn't help but be a little curious and asked, "Dorota, what are these yarn balls for?" "

"Oh! This is for knitting Christmas stockings and Christmas sweaters. Dorota looked at Josie almost lovingly, "If you still want a Christmas scarf, remember to tell me in advance which color scheme you prefer." "

Unpretentious, Josie stood against the wall and told Dorota: "I don't want a Christmas sweater, Dorota, but I want a red and white-trimmed Christmas scarf and a Christmas hat of the same color as my Christmas gift – can they fit in Christmas stockings?" "

Handmade works, it's warm to think about... She seems to have rarely received a similar gift.

Dorota agreed very satisfied, and vowed that the finished products she knitted would definitely be more exquisite and beautiful than those sold in department stores.

Josie watched TV with her for a while, then went for a walk in the garden to eat, and before half past ten she lay down on her soft bed.

Good night.

Tomorrow is another wonderful new day.
