Soon, all the crew members found out that it was wrong. If Sarah and Mina only had a pair of scenes at the beginning, it was because they were in bad condition on Monday, then Angela, who was standing next to the camera, was moving when everyone was moving. But what happened when he stayed where he was, and finally ran into the camera, causing the shooting to fail
"Angie, what are you thinking? Don't tell me you're really going to let Wes and I smoke weed," Spacey said jokingly.
"Maybe it's because I'm too tired. After all, in the past few weeks, apart from the studio, I'll be surrounded by reporters. If it were me, I would feel troublesome." Annette nodded in agreement. The taciturn Wes also asked seriously: "Or you can consider taking another day off? I saw the progress, and it should be completed in early September."
"Okay, everyone, I'm just a little confused." Angela raised her hands and pressed it, a little funny but also a little moved. After getting along for more than a month, the atmosphere of the crew has always been very harmonious. Although she occasionally swears because of the poor progress, it is still very good in general. Several old actors other than Spacey are all good friends. Acknowledging that Angela does have a set in terms of directing, Annette has said in front of everyone more than once: "When Angela is telling you a play, you don't think that you are standing in front of an 18-year-old girl at all!"
"Well, let's rest for a while now and adjust our mood a little later, okay?" Angela said after thinking for a few seconds, and then pointed to the kitchen: "Let me be alone for a while. ."
Standing in front of the kitchen window of the detached house rented for filming, Angela stretched out against the light, then leaned against the table with a sigh and squeezed her fist and waved, damn Lindsay!
"I just want to try their way of kissing, what's wrong with that?" On Saturday night, the kid spread out his hands indifferent to her questioning, and even arrogantly added: "Anyway, yours The first kiss was mine too."
Of course, this only allowed the angry Angela to press her down on the sofa for a full ravage. It would be fine if it was just like this, but the little girl who was going to be in the same bed as her when she slept was naked and naked. Even if Angela repeatedly asked her to at least put on her bottoms, the kid would still die, or be plausible. Say something like this before, or just say something like "you don't love me" with a tearful expression.
The final result can only be a compromise, Angela is depressed to find that guiding the kid to practice the instrument seems to be a wrong decision. But anyway, having a naked 12-year-old girl wrapped around a woman who likes women like a koala is really painful, especially when the kid has his head buried in her chest smacking her mouth, so Angela closed her eyes all night and then opened them immediately.
In addition, Lindsay took her out to go shopping to meet reporters the next morning, and she had to guide her to practice the guitar in the afternoon, which made Angela really exhausted - she had never been so tired from working intensively for several days before. So she dozed off more than once during the mentoring process, and she was often taken advantage of by Lindsay. After finally sending the kid away, at night she had to work hard to discuss the next week's shooting with Matthew and other assistants. Although she slept comfortably, she was still in a trance.
Well, it's best not to let her sleep with me in the future. Angela said to herself with a wry smile in her heart, Lindsay was not just a little girl in her heart. However, she was a little dejected and found that even so, it would be difficult to convince her that the little devil was stalking. Angela couldn't help but feel that it was a wrong thing to take Lindsay's instrument instruction task.
Forget it, don't worry about this for now, let's finish today's shooting progress first, because the lack of concentration before has already delayed a lot of time. Angela tidied up her clothes, brushed her long hair and rubbed her face, and walked out of the kitchen. Mina and Sarah, who were talking and laughing with a few staff members, came into their eyes.
These two guys... Angela raised her eyebrows but didn't have any other thoughts. Although they did have more NG situations today, are they still qualified to speak to others when they are not in the state
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Angela interjected with a smile as she walked over.
"It's nothing, I'm teasing Sarah that she can go to horror movies." Mina replied, she and Sarah both showed some uncomfortable expressions, but in a flash no one but Angela Did not notice.
Did something happen? Angela frowned in her heart and then stretched it out, maybe it was a personal matter or something, so she followed with a smile and shrugged: "Horror movie? What do you want Sarah to play? Ghost..."
Having said that, she suddenly closed her mouth, but looked straight at Sarah, as if she wanted to see something on her face. Sarah touched her face nervously. It wasn't until Mina gave her a few glances that she suddenly understood. She couldn't help but secretly ask, "What's wrong, Angie?"
"Well... it's nothing..." Angela still pinched her chin and stared at her face intently, and finally raised the corners of her mouth: "I have a good idea for a horror movie, do you want to try it?"
"You mean..." Sarah gestured in disbelief.
"Yes, it's you," Angela showed her white teeth, "I've always been curious about oriental horror films, they are obviously more comfortable in horror, so I tried to use the horror unique to Asian countries. Styles are added, and the inspiration for "Death Is Coming" comes from a Chinese saying, and now..."
Having said that, she closed her mouth again, and after thinking for a few seconds, she smiled and shook her head: "Keep it a secret for now. After all, it's just an idea. I need to check more information, and I still have work."
Sarah and Mina, who were listening carefully, couldn't help but show a little dissatisfaction. This way of saying half of the talk and half of it was really unpleasant, but Angela immediately patted Sarah's face with a smile: "It won't be long. Yes, I should be able to give you news before the end of the year, but the audition is also necessary, be careful not to be brushed off."
"Then just wait and see!" Sarah was very confident in herself.
"As expected of a talented lady who likes tailoring, ideas will pop out of her head anytime, anywhere." With a mocking voice coming from the side, Angela raised her eyebrows and looked up at the visitor: "Hi, Adam , Has the poster been decided?"
Adam Raymond was still hired by her to be the photographer of "American Beauty". Although Angela was a little uncomfortable with this guy who had kept her from her for 7 years, he left her with so many good memories. For the sake of the picture, it doesn't matter much. Besides, the reason for not discovering this guy's "camouflage" also has its own reasons. Thinking about it, there are so many doubts: he was originally a quasi-queen photographer for "National Geographic" magazine, and followed the magazine around the world. He has taken many beautiful photos for fashion magazines such as Vanity Fair and People. Although he claimed to be challenging himself to shoot movie stills at the time, it would be strange to give up a good job and start all over again, not to mention He has participated in every movie of his own.
But I have to admit that the photos he took are really beautiful, and the memorable bits and pieces make Angela unforgettable - only a small part of it was bound into a picture book. Dad also paid a lot for this gift, knowing that this guy took pictures for them for free in order to get into some movie crews—such as Schindler's List.
In any case, after Angela got a precious gift, Adam also successfully made a way in the cinematographer, and he looks like he likes his current career, so Angela asked him to come to "America" Beauty" filming stills.
"Sorry, Angie, not yet, because I'm not sure which of the two is more suitable." Adam pointed to Mina and Sarah and shrugged, although he had a smile on his face, Angela always felt that there was something hidden inside with something else.
"So what did you guys think?" She didn't guess too much, and turned her head to Mina and Sarah.
The two girls glanced at each other, and both showed a smile that was not a smile. They said in unison, "After thinking about it for a long time, we all think that you are the most suitable, Angie!"
"You are the best of us."
"You're also the prettiest among us."
"You have to do something else for this movie besides the director and producer, right?"
"And it's just showing your belly, it's totally tolerable, isn't your flat belly also a kind of beauty?"
The two chattered and sang and almost turned Angela's head into a paste, so she had to put her hand on their mouths, and then glared at them: "What's going on?!"
"Simply put, I always thought you were the right person when I was discussing with them," Adam took over the topic with a smile, "As they said, as the most beautiful person in the crew, you don't Who does it?"
Angela was a little stunned for a while, and went to shoot that still with a rose on her belly button? What's the joke? After a while, she stammered and asked, "Why... why should I agree?"
"Because the publicity is more eye-catching, isn't it?" Adam shrugged, and then said seriously: "Well, I don't understand publicity, but I think a qualified producer will definitely consider this."
Damn guy! Angela is a bit itchy. Of course, she is not a qualified producer. In addition to supervising film editing, a real producer is also responsible for sponsoring and investing, arranging publicity tasks, controlling the use of funds, etc. She will serve as a producer only. But it is for the final editing rights, and these things are left to others to do.
"Okay, the rest time is over, we have to hurry up and make up for the wasted time." Angela suddenly stood up, clapped her hands and shouted, ignoring the few people around her and went straight to the director's seat to greet a few assistants and set up Get up to the task.
However, if you shoot the cover yourself, it's not impossible, it's just showing the navel. It's not that the advertising industry for Armani has not been exposed before. The key is... Angela, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at Adam who was playing with the camera, and let's talk about it. .
Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening and Chris Cooper's acting is absolutely the best of all, even if there are occasional things that are out of status, they can still be adjusted quickly. Among the three young people, Wes's acting is the best, Angela sometimes can't help but wonder if this guy is so reticent that he has completely brought himself into Richie? The other two girls are evenly matched, but Sarah's performance is still based on many NGs. The only thing that comforts her is that the number of NGs is at least better than at the beginning.
"When she says 'I was a virgin,' your feelings have to change and not change too much, you don't believe the sexy woman who ignites your desires and makes you writhe out of a stagnant life It's just a girl, but at the same time you think she might be telling the truth, you're hesitant and you want to laugh, so you ask 'are you kidding me' and I want you to put that on your face, understand?" Angela gestured as Spacey explained.
"Okay, I understand, please give me a few minutes to brew." Kevin nodded and walked to the side to lower his head and meditate. This is his usual way of entering a play, and Angela followed and looked at Mina, the other party was the first Time raised his hand: "I'm ready."
"Very good," Angela nodded, then waved her hand: "All units are ready."
After Mina lay down and Kevin came over and said that he was ready, Angela made a gesture to the recorder.
"Scene 78, Scene 145, start shooting!" With a snap, the camera began to turn, and the two people in the venue who were still in their poses waited for a few seconds to start the performance.
Because of the sex scene in which Annette had an affair, Angela was somewhat immune to this kind of scene, and she concentrated on carefully observing the expressions and movements of the two of them. Spacey has completely integrated into Leicester. The eyes can fully express the feeling of longing, although Mina is a little worse, but still can keep up to some extent.
After changing the angle a few times, the next shot continued, but Angela called to stop within two minutes of the beginning.
"Sweeney, after moving from here to here, change this direction and then there." Angela gestured to the cameraman who was controlling the camera, then looked at Spacey: "Kevin, I want yours Be less surprised."
She only waved after the other party nodded to show her understanding: "Let's continue."
But after two minutes Angela stopped again, she frowned and turned around in the living room, and then started talking to Kevin again: "Remember that and the scene we did in the kitchen? I want to You express that emotion more. After Betty said that she is a virgin, you are no longer just a middle-aged man who wants to have a relationship with her, but more as a father or an elder watching your younger generation Well, let's do it again."
It seems that everyone has been cursed since she stopped, there are always problems, either Kevin didn't meet the requirements or Mina didn't meet the requirements, or the lighting engineer, photographer, etc. Fortunately, Angela can control Situation: "Don't worry, be patient, do it again, and do it again."
So, when Angela clapped her hands to indicate that this last shot was done, the crew cheered, and as the lights came on, with a few bangs, streamers and glittering shreds of paper spilled from the air.
"God, is this a celebration?" Wrapping herself in a blanket, Mina watched in surprise as the cheering employees conjured up food and drinks.
"Of course, or what do you think it is?" Sarah walked over from the crowd, picked up the clothes from the sofa and handed them to her, "We've been preparing for a long time, even Angie doesn't know."
"Do you think I really don't know? I just don't want to expose you." Angela, who also passed through the crowd, said with a smile, and it could be seen that she was very happy and relaxed because the shooting ended.
"Okay, okay, you know everything." Sarah rolled her eyes and pulled Mina into the back room.
Angela shrugged and looked around. Kevin, who had slipped to the door of the kitchen, was eating a piece of pizza. Seeing her eyes swept over, he waved his hand deliberately and made a mouth shape of "I'm hungry". Shaking his head with a smile, he joined the excitement.
The party didn't last long. Although it was lively but not noisy, only Chris Cooper and Annette Bening were absent from the main actors. The former had finished his role and left a few days ago, while the latter had just left. Hours, it is said that there are some private matters to deal with.
But everyone was very happy, even the guy Wes said a lot, and all kinds of alcohol were indispensable. It's not a public place, so Angela drank some beer and found that nothing happened, so she poured two cans - only two cans, even Mina and Sarah drank more than her, but after going back and forth to the hotel It was Angela who helped them into the room.
"Angie, I love you, I love you very much." Sarah, who was lying on the bed, waved her arms drunkenly.
"Okay, okay, I love you too, OK?" Angela put her hand down in a lot of trouble, and before she pushed her onto the bed, Mina made up her mind again: "Don't love her, you Just love me!"
"Be obedient! Lie on the bed for me!" Angela shouted a little frantically, and after a lot of effort, she finally fiddled with the two women side by side on the bed.
"I don't care, that's all, see you tomorrow." She shook her head, turned off the light and left to go back to her room.
After sitting on the sofa and resting for a few minutes, she drank a few more sips of water. Angela complained that her sluggish nerves had improved before starting to pack her things and prepare to go to bed. At this time, she realized that she had entered the wrong room, and she took Mina and Sha. Pulled into the room that used to belong to him, and now he is in the room of the two of them.
"Damn it, my head is dizzy." Angela grumbled. She took out her pocket and fortunately had the key cards of both rooms on her body. She hurried back to her room and was about to go to the bedroom to get the two out, but When she came to the door of the bedroom, the moaning sound that came from inside suddenly made her scalp tingle, she was really familiar with this kind of sound.
