With a soft click, the door was opened a little, and the weak light reflected the pale and haggard face of the girl. She looked at the kitchen at the end of the passage, and there was light under the door, accompanied by soft sounds from time to time. She was a little puzzled and a little scared, and pulled up her pajamas, trying to make herself warmer.
After hesitating, the girl decided to go and have a look. Taking uneasy steps, she slowly walked to the door. The voice inside was clearer, as if she was making breakfast, but will mother make breakfast now? Suppressing the beating of her heart, the girl pushed open the kitchen door, and behind her was a middle-aged woman in pink cotton pajamas.
"Mom?" the girl tried to call.
The woman turned sharply and said viciously in a sharp voice, "No! Dinner isn't ready yet, Lenny!" Her face was clearly bruised, one piece on the left, one piece on the right, and a frantic look on her face. , looks particularly terrifying.
"What are you trying to do!" she growled, stretching out her hands violently, her wrists full of deep knife marks, "You can't hurt me anymore! Lenny! You're the one who pushed me to this point! "
The girl turned around abruptly, ran desperately to the bedroom, got into the red tent with the roar of the female ghost, and then cried with helplessness and despair. she.
"Cut!" With David's voice, the sequence is completed again.
The staff member who was holding his breath just now finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the things in his hand, and talked in a low voice, only Angela under the tent was still sitting on the ground motionless. Then, Kim Basinger stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, comforting her gently. After a while, the girl grew a mouthful and smiled at Jin: "Thank you, Jin, I want you to help every time."
"It's nothing, honey, I'm your 'mother' now, am I not?" Jin smiled and patted her head.
"Okay, dear 'mother'," Angela smiled, "how did I act just now, compared to before?"
"It's great, it's perfect—at least that's what I think." Kim shrugged, then added, "I'm not complimenting you, Angie."
"Yes, I know." The girl said with a smile, and then looked at David behind the camera. He was holding his chin while watching the replay, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, Angela thought for a while , stood up and walked over.
"Is there a problem? David?" Angela looked at the playing clip, and some couldn't recognize it was the first shot.
"What? Oh, no problem, Angie, you've done a great job," David came back to his senses, "the shot just now, and the third shot before, are all suitable, I'm considering which to keep. One is better."
"Is that really the case? David?" Angela looked into his eyes and asked seriously.
David looked back at her for a few seconds, and finally shrugged: "Okay, you talented girl can also watch her face, there is a little problem, a small problem." He thought for a while before saying: " Basically, you've done a good job, and if you want to pass it, it's fine, but I always feel - completely intuitive - that there is a little bit wrong, and the emotional expression doesn't seem to match the previous days."
Angela thought for a few seconds, then asked, "Can I take a look at this set of shots first?"
"Of course!" David nodded, rewinding all the way back to the first shot, and then slowly put it back together.
The girl stared at the small screen without blinking. She couldn't see anything wrong with the shooting, so she focused on her own performance. As David said, she also noticed that there was always something Something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong at all, or was it really like what David said, the expression of emotions was different from before
"I have an idea, David." Angela said suddenly.
"Really? What are your thoughts?" David asked curiously.
The girl shook her head and didn't speak. Instead, she held her chin to think. David was not in a hurry and just waited for her. Angela didn't let him wait too long, she quickly raised her head, considered the words, and then put her hand in David's ear and said a few words.
David was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was suitable, but this way...
"This is a big test for you, Angie." The director said seriously.
"Of course, but if I can do it, I believe my acting will be even better." The girl said confidently, "Are you confident, Mr. Director?"
David immediately laughed and nodded: "Okay, then get ready, let's do it again!"
After the girl left to go to the makeup artist to touch up the makeup, he stood up and patted: "Okay, everyone, let's do it again, I know everyone is tired, as long as this shot is completed, today's work can be over. , so I hope that everyone will play up the spirit of 120,000 points and do it well."
Amid the humming of "Look, he's here again," the crew moved quickly and quickly took their places, awaiting further orders from the director.
"We don't have to go back to all of this shot, just shoot Angela from the kitchen door to the tent," David said, walking behind the camera, then sticking his head out and looking at the man walking up and down the hallway of the room Angela: "Are you ready? Angie?"
"Please wait, give me two more minutes, just two minutes!" Angela covered her mouth and walked back and forth without raising her head, occasionally waving her hands unconsciously, brewing emotions, although she said give her two minutes, But in fact, after 5 minutes, she raised her head and took a deep breath: "Okay, we can start."
David nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed it down: "Act 34, Scene 12, start filming!"
With the hit of the board, the room instantly became silent, only the sound of the camera turning, but Angela didn't make any movement, just stared at the red tent silently for about ten seconds. David thought she was not in the right mood, and when he was about to call pause, she finally moved!
The girl jumped into the tent and turned on the flashlight tremblingly. The light hit the small statue inside, reflecting the color of the tent and reflecting a bright red. The girl knelt straight on the ground, her hands clenched under her chin, suffering in pain. With his eyes and lips closed, although his whole body was trembling, there was no sound, only tears kept pouring out of his closed eyes and flowing down his face.
"Great! Very good!" David immediately applauded, Angela's performance can be said to be perfect, expressing the girl's unspeakable helplessness, despair, and heart-wrenching weakness, but it is Since the filming, it has been her best time, and even the staff around her will not be stingy with their applause as long as they don't have a buddy on hand.
Angela, who was the client, knelt on the ground and had no intention of getting up. It wasn't until Jin wanted to step up to help her again that she suddenly opened her eyes, smiled at her as if relieved, and stood up. stand up.
"It's over once?" Angela looked at the director, who nodded immediately.
"Can't you be more perfect?" David asked back, "Of course, I'm not doubting your acting skills, but you must know, Angie, if the filming continues..." He pointed to the people around him, the lighting engineer, prop engineer Wait, "they'll tear me up."
"Shut up, David, I want to tear you up right now!" Bunnari, the lighting engineer, said loudly, which resonated with many people, and a scene even announced that the director would be tied up and hung on the roof of the Independence Hall Blow the wind overnight.
"Okay, you guys, I'll treat you to the weekend, go to the Bernard Bar for a drink, head office, now pack my things for me, get ready to leave, we'll continue tomorrow!" David said funny and angrily.
In the mess, Angela came to the photographer Adam Raymond in two or three steps. That's right, the guy you can meet every time you make a movie. Schindler's List", and then "Piano Lesson", it seems that this guy will appear as long as he makes his own movies. When she was in New Zealand, she once asked him why he was still on the set of "Schindler's List" when he was still working as a photographer in Europe, why did he immediately come to the "Piano Lesson" crew again, but the guy replied that the subject was too heavy, and he I felt it was inappropriate, so I resigned. Anyway, there were many photographers like him in the crew of "Schindler's List", which made the girl doubtful. But this time it was indeed David who invited him to participate. In the last "Hide and Seek", they worked well together.
"Hi, Mr. Adam." Angela greeted.
Adam, who was holding the camera, froze for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Hello, Miss Angela, what's the matter?"
"Well, I want to ask, can you give me a few of the photos of the shot just now before I leave the crew?" The girl thought for a while and asked.
"This can't be done, miss." Adam laughed. "The crew doesn't have professional equipment. Although it can be rented, it will take a lot of time to get the perfect effect. The crew won't allow me to spend my time on it."
"Okay, then forget it," Angela said with a little disappointment. "Then when you go back to Los Angeles, you can develop the photos. Can you send me a few after they are done?"
"Of course, but you have to tell the company first, well, you know." Adam shrugged.
"Of course, I will, then I'll trouble you." The girl nodded politely and was about to leave when Adam suddenly stopped her: "Miss Angela, can I ask you the reason for this?"
"Actually... I want a souvenir. The performance just now gave me a deeper understanding of acting." Angela replied with a smile.
"Okay, I see. I'll start working when I get back to Los Angeles. As long as you say hello to Disney, I think I'll be able to send you the photo soon." Adam nodded.
"Thanks again." The girl said and turned to leave.
"Remembrance?" Adam looked at the girl's back, then at the camera in his hand, smiled and shook his head, and continued to pack up.
