"CUT." Woody shouted.
The two actors quickly came out of the play and walked over to see the picture on the monitor.
Edward pulled a chair for Josie to sit down, stood by himself and reached out to pinch his chin, quietly concentrating on the playback.
Josie held her cheek with one hand, staring intently at the monitor, also without saying a word.
"Here." Woody pressed pause, "Your tone doesn't need to be so dreamy, Holden should be the reality you're facing, and you're confused about reality." "
Dreamy is the tone of Josie's Skyler, which symbolizes love in youth, and people are controlled by a burst of hormones and often make very dramatic choices.
But Edward's Holden can't bring her that feeling.
He is like warm milk drunk every morning, without any surprises, without rich taste, but very suitable for breakfast to fill the stomach, both nutritious and not difficult to buy, as long as it is poured into a bowl, mixed with cereal or drunk directly, there is no problem.
This is her future married life.
Woody continued, "And you, Edward, your problem is a little too hard, I want you to relax a little more and think about how you usually get along. "
"But we haven't talked about these topics yet." Edward shrugged his shoulders and made a joke, "I think I'm a little nervous about married life or something." "
"Really? I don't believe it. Woody gave Edward a smirk, then picked up the megaphone, "All departments are ready, we'll have another one in two minutes!" "
The entire set was instantly orderly, and the assistant director was responsible for directing the various departments and actors, and it took a minute and a half to take place one after another, and then it was completely quiet.
The assistant director and each department confirmed that all the machines were operating normally, and the field manager was the only person who was still walking around on the scene, until Woody gave an order-
"Action!"
The show began again.
The scene was filmed all morning, and Edward and Josie improvised three of them on their married lifestyle, which Woody gave them, but did not tell them which one to use.
Later, it was filmed that Holden hid the ring in a vanilla parfaiform in order to propose, which was eaten by his fiancée Skyler, thus triggering a comedic effect.
"Notgood." Woody frowned and said to Josie: "Josie, a little more contrived, a little more exaggeration, I need more comedy, you have to believe that you ate a diamond ring, cold and hard metal foreign object." "
Experiential actors have trouble with this, and if they can't believe the situation, her performance is very uncomfortable.
Josie also frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Does it have a carat, Woody?" "
——Forgive her, I really haven't seen such a small diamond ring for a long time, but I am a little uncertain.
Woody shrugged: "Then you have to ask Edward or the sponsor, I haven't written the script yet." "
Edward was clear: "1.01 carats, Harry . Winston's classic logo, platinum diamond tray is pure and elegant, with a round single diamond in the center, and the signature design of the letters H and W on the left and right sides, symbolizing the initials of husband and wife. By the way, this is my loan to buy and did not have time to be insured. "
"Mr. Norton knows us in detail." HAI Rui. The insurance commissioner sent by Winston smiled slightly, and his face almost said that there was no friend, "The average price of this one is about 20,000 US dollars, E color, VS1, and the design of the diamond butt is very chic." "
"In other words, you swallowed twenty thousand dollars." Edward added.
Josie's face suddenly became very complicated.
Woody. Allen said at this time: "Don't worry, relax, you can look at each other, you are a person, not a character, don't deliberately act, the lines wait until you want to say it." "
"I'm sure you've almost found your feelings, don't worry, connect yourself and my feelings closely, just like this." Edward followed her encouragement, "Don't exclude me from your feelings, you can take a good draw from my performance – give me your hand." "
Josie meekly gave him her hand while looking into his eyes, slowly feeling the heat transferred from the palm of her hand.
The film department on the scene was still debugging, and it seemed a little noisy, but Josie's breathing was steady, her eyes were completely empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, she felt that she had adjusted and then asked Woody to adjust to her. Allen made a fine gesture indicating that he could continue shooting.
Sure enough, this one went straight by.
Kelly came over to help Josie sort out her belongings, because the crew did not equip her with an RV, she preferred to take the car home early and slowly remove makeup and soak in the luxurious bathroom of the penthouse.
Edward was a little reluctant, blinking at the foul dog eyes, "Do you really want me to take you to the airport?" "
Josie was flying back to Los Angeles over the weekend, and she had planned to go back after Christmas in order to meet Gloria in Malibu, but recently James Bush. Cameron personally visited Gloria once, and she was somewhat curious about their conversation.
It just so happens that Woody. Allen rewrote the fly page and temporarily adjusted the shooting plan for the next two days, which gave Josie enough time.
Today's plane is half past seven in the evening.
So Josie looked at Edward with a smile and did not directly refuse, "I'm afraid I'm going to the airport now, if you don't hate the restaurants near the airport too much-"
"Of course, I swear I don't hate it at all." When he said this, Edward almost completely forgot how much he disliked the poor airport fast food.
"But you need rest more." Josie noticed that the concealment under Edward's eyes was a little heavy, so she also blinked like him, and said softly: "Don't worry me, okay?" "
Edward couldn't help with such a look and tone, so he had to raise his hands to show surrender.
It's just that Josie fell into thought after leaving.
To be honest, she was originally a rather hard-hearted person, but it seems that she was influenced by this role, which made her a little sentimental.
I really don't know if it's a good phenomenon.
The next morning, Harry on Fifth Avenue. The Winston store was cleared in advance for filming.
Edward was NG three times in a row by Woody, frowning and thinking back to his performance just now, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Your mood should be a little more excited and longing." Woody sipped coffee and said, "Actually, at your age, it's all about women, which is nothing, I was like that when I was younger." "
Edward raised his eyes, a little puzzled: "What? "
"Don't you think that after your golden girl left, the set seemed to suddenly become deserted?" Woody said slowly, "This is the first time, your heart is going to fly to the West Coast - to be honest, this time the movie, the way you use is very experiential." "
"What do you think I should be, Woody?" Edward asked.
"Passionate, focused." Woody replied, "But the chemistry between you is so good that I kind of got a little inspired by the new script." The male protagonist who can't face up to love, cowardly and a little careful, well, more than a little, another blonde stunner as the heroine, he falls in love with her, he misses her, he loses love..."
"Wait, can you associate something positive, Woody?" Edward interrupted and corrected, "He fell in love with her, she fell in love with him, they fell in love with each other, and they were unswerving." "
Woody wrote down his inspiration on the manuscript paper and said to himself without lifting his head: "There are no fairy tales in reality, children, and Hollywood does not exist." So he lost love, even though the girl remained. Then again, Josie has a little Monroe temperament, and I decided to let them give her a Monroe-style classic look in the next scene. "
"Knitted cardigans and plaid pants? That's not bad. Edward's thoughts had been completely taken to the ditch by Woody, almost forgetting his troubles.
"Oh, that's right, the cardigan must be single-buttoned, this is Monroe's classic way of wearing." Woody paused, looked up and asked, "What color do you think she should wear, or rather, what color do you want her to wear?" "
Edward pondered seriously, "Beige, white? In fact, she is very beautiful in any color, I like it. "
His face unconsciously showed an obvious smile,
Woody wrote a "red" on the manuscript paper and casually told Edward, "Remember how you feel now, Edward?" You have to imagine in your mind what she will look like in the ring, and then she will marry you in a wedding dress, but all the rings are beautiful and you like it. "
Edward's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and he suddenly said, "But my budget is insufficient." "
"Yes, you don't have a budget, but it doesn't matter. Importantly, the hassle of underbudgeting is irrelevant. Look, that's your problem, don't dwell on the minutiae, your performance needs to be more relaxed..."
The set in New York is talking, and so is the beach cabin in Malibu -
"You're right, but you're not acting right—tighter, Kelly." While directing Kelly to tie Josie's chest, Gloria commented on her performance just now, "You should let go of yourself, love will come to a repressed girl, she will be bolder and more passionate than anyone." "
Gloria thought Josie was still a little too dignified.
Her natural aristocratic elegance is indeed charming, but "Rose" should be a more liberal and unruly girl.
Josie was silent and was frowning.
She wore an antique dress that was imitation, with long gloves, jewelry, high heels and a shawl.
Even a blonde hair was coiled, in the style of the era, with a hairpin from Gloria's collection.
"I don't quite understand." Josie said, "I think I've fallen in love. "
Gloria asked helplessly: "Oh my God, Josie, my dear, you can't be in love without falling in love, right?" "
"Actually, I'm on a date." Josie replied briefly, "But what I can't understand is that Jack and Rose suddenly fell in love with each other desperately—and she has a fiancé who is about to get married." "
"It is precisely because she is about to get married that she rushes to love so passionately." Gloria said, "Maybe you should be more involved in your feelings so that you can better understand this crazy feeling." "
The script for "Titanic" is kept secret, and most people only know James. Cameron wrote a love script, a story of a poor boy and a rich girl, and they didn't think it would be wonderful.
Gloria knew a little more.
She knows the names of Jack and Rose, who has a strict mother and a nasty fiancé, and she can't stand all this, so she wants to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but is saved by Jack passing by, and a love affair arises.
To be honest, just looking at the simple and old-fashioned story line, this is actually the cross-class love of a poor boy and a rich girl, which seems to be nothing moving, and even a little disease-free moaning.
As Josie remembered her mother saying: the family allows you to enjoy a good life and a rich education, and you also need to bear your own responsibilities for the family, rather than just asking for it.
So the love that Rose chose is actually an absolutely unacceptable existence in the environment where Josie grew up.
But to this day, she still remembers sitting in the cinema, crying collectively with a group of little loli for the beautiful love of "Titanic", and repainting the movie without end.
But the wonderful thing is that a shipwreck freezes their love story in the most poignant moment, making it eternal.
And not the trifles after the ship docked.
Josie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
- If it were her, what choice would she make?
——Also, is there something more empathetic between her and Rose?
A little later, Keanu also drove to visit Ms. Gloria.
He has been busy with the band's tour lately, temporarily away from the glitz of Hollywood, so relaxed that he still looks like the teenage hockey boy, with almost no traces of the flow of time.
Gloria has already reflected that the two of them are not boyfriend and girlfriend in the traditional sense, because it is clear that neither party is ready to devote themselves to a relationship, and even the little hint of ambiguity has been almost extinguished this time.
As for the date Josie mentioned, that lucky boy Yacheng has not really got the girl's heart.
True love is one of the few luxuries in Hollywood.
Keanu sat down next to Josie, handed her a cup of tea, and asked, "How have you been doing?" "
"Thank you. I'm not bad, I've been shooting in New York. Josie smiled at Keanu, the curve of his smile as perfect as measured, "What about you, Keanu? You look... Surprisingly vibrant. "
She glanced at Keanu and gave him a somewhat envious look.
"But you look distressed." Keanu said, "Would you like to talk to me?" I'm a good person to talk to. "
Josie thought about it, but rejected the proposal, "It's just a little distressed, but now I think of a solution." "
Gloria came out of the study, just in time to hear Josie's words, and asked, "What are you going to do, honey?" "
Josie smiled slightly and replied, "Experience life." "
Gloria winked at her playfully and asked, "Is that the way I want to experience it?" "
"I guess so." Josie also frowned at the lovely lady.
Gloria suddenly smiled, and took a small step over and said: "Well done, girl, let's give a high-five!" "
Keanu, who was in the middle of the two, shrunk his neck and rubbed the back of his neck, feeling that he seemed a little redundant.
However, he just smiled at this and did not feel anything unusual.
However, Gloria was surprised when she saw off Keanu at the door after Josie left, and reminded him by the way: "Your invincible charm has finally failed?" "
Keanu was dumbfounded.
Then he smiled and shook his head and explained, "Last time I should have told you, Gloria, that we are not the kind of relationship you think. "
"Oh! I know. "But she's a good woman." "
Not only a good woman, but also a good enough person.
Gloria can imagine the extent to which Josie can always grow into a superstar if she gives her a little more time.
Because she is so herself.
Such people are usually very self-disciplined, and this is the most scarce quality of young people in Hollywood.
The sunset on Malibu Beach is being swallowed up by the coastline.
Keanu stood there with the light on his back, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, behind him was a rich oil painting-like remnant, a large cloud of fire pressed heavily to the sea, and even the originally white foam was burned into a bright orange-red.
His eyes reflected the color of the sunset, silence was like a deep sea, and he gently pulled the corners of his lips-
"The problem is, I'm not a good man."
