As far as Angela's heart is concerned, she is not very willing to play Kate in "The Devil". The price to pay is really high. It is not interesting to see your lover gain weight, shave eyebrows, buck teeth, and become ugly. But in retrospect, there was no other choice for Kate's best actress impact role.
Kate has been working hard all the time, although most of the current shots require several NGs to achieve the desired effect, but compared to the previous performances in "Speed of Life and Death" or "Fate and Destiny", it has exceeded a lot, even Russell Acknowledging that Kate is no match for the opposite scene. Even if she didn't really play 200% of her strength - this sentence itself is used to exaggerate - still made a lot of efforts for this role, which Angela saw.
It's just that her acting skills are far worse than that of old actors like Meryl Streep or Susan Sarandon, and she's not even close to Jodie Foster. In this case, we can only find a way from the role and the script, and one of the characteristics of the Oscar is that the more the actress plays the role of some abnormal people, the easier it is to be scorned, so Angela chose "The Devil". Movie. Even if Kate agreed to play both roles for her, it might be a joy to have her lover take home a statuette. Besides, Kate doesn't care much about being ugly.
"Although I don't know what the specific image looks like, I can tell from your expression that it's not easy. That's fine. If I'm ugly, the audience won't just stare at my face." Kate said that night. Of course, this is the conclusion made after holding Angela in his arms and discussing "Is this your revenge?"
As long as it's on the same level as the original, with a little luck, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Angela thought so, it would be better if it could be a bit higher than the original, but unfortunately Nat declined the invitation.
Although when I asked Natalie in Kate's face that night if she would like to play this gay role, it was mostly a joke. After that, Angela seriously thought about this possibility. Maybe Natalie's role will make this movie even better? And if she and Kate do this... Angela's abacus is good, but with Natalie's refusal and she herself being an ostrich again, it's all over.
In fact, if Manni agreed to play, it should be good. When Angela, who was walking in the aisle, thought of the script she was planning, this thought suddenly occurred to her. She shook her head immediately, which was also a joke and Manny also refused in person. But... That day, I said that the script was tailored for her, and I mentioned it again when I sneaked out to play with Avril, but Manny chose to refuse - but she hesitated for a long time.
What is she afraid of or worried about? Angela is very puzzled about this, it is impossible to say that she is aware of her own bad taste, right? The corner of the girl's mouth curved into a mocking curve. If it wasn't for "Legal Pretty Woman" already given to Jesse, Manny would be very interesting to play the role. If she nodded, "Love to New Jersey" or "Love to Alabama" All are good choices.
Angela suddenly patted her head. Hey, I thought of where I went again, and the jump of thinking is too big. After regaining her concentration, she took a few steps to the locker room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in when there was a sound of inviting in.
"Wow, Kate, you look so beautiful." Seeing Kate standing in front of the full-length mirror, Angela's eyes lit up. The decent black shoulderless dress perfectly set off her figure, and the hair tucked behind her head made her feel more refreshing in her beauty, especially the exposed smooth back was full of temptation.
"Thank you for the compliment," Kate, who was standing in front of the mirror with her arms on her hips, turned her head with a smile, "at least it looks much better than the one with gray hair and slightly curled up with glasses."
"I have to regret to tell you, dear Kate. If the filming goes well, tomorrow you will have to continue sitting in the New Jersey Performing Arts Center with gray hair and glasses." Angela smiled. He walked behind her, put his hands around Kate's waist from behind, and kissed behind her slightly curved gooseneck.
"Isn't that what you want?" Kate turned her head to look at her lover behind her. "It's done as soon as possible, and then most people can leave the set. Not only is the closing date close, but the cost will also save a lot."
"What? Missing me before I left?" Angela said with a smile, and kissed her again on the back.
"Angie, this is in the locker room." Kate reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, there's no one there now." Angela said casually, and then the locker room door was pushed open.
"Miss Kate, if it's alright..." The female drama assistant who came in was stunned before she could finish her words. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses: "Miss Angela? So you are here."
"What's the matter?" At the moment when the door was pushed open, Angela, who withdrew her hand around Kate's waist, asked nonchalantly, and at the same time slightly opened the distance between herself and Kate. That way, even though she's still standing a few inches behind Kate, it's more intimate than ambiguous at best.
"Mr. Logan is looking for you about the lighting and setting of the reception," the drama assistant explained.
"Didn't I make it clear before I left?" Angela frowned, "Okay, I'll go right over."
The female assistant looked at Kate again at this time: "If Miss Kate is well, please go outside and prepare."
"Exactly," Angela raised her eyebrows involuntarily and turned back with a smile, "Let's go to the hall together, Kate."
"No problem." Kate nodded solemnly, and glared at Angela as she passed by. Although Angela kept smiling, she stuck out her tongue in her heart.
All the way to the brightly lit hall of the rental, most of the extras were already dressed and waiting there, talking in twos and threes, while the crew was doing their last efforts.
This scene is that Nash was invited by the governor to take his new girlfriend to the state government reception, but it was also filmed that Nash and his wife were in the hall after winning the Nobel Prize in Economics. While footage of Nash's award will be filmed tomorrow at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, there isn't a proper hall there. Even if there were, it wouldn't be worthwhile to re-set the scene for that few minutes, so Angela simply shot it together after consulting with the others.
However, because there was a scene of Nash pointing out the constellations for Alicia outside the scene of the reception, so Kate and Russell put on old makeup to shoot the scene after the awards, so there was a scene in the locker room before. dialogue.
"Okay folks, I'm sure I've said it clearly enough, so let's get started," Angela said, clapping her hands after speaking with Kate, Russell, and a few key crew assistants. Following her, she looked at Russell with a mocking look, raised her finger and shook it: "Be careful of your voice, if it's NG..."
Although she didn't continue speaking, the threatening look made everyone laugh, and Russell himself shook his head with a wry smile. When he analyzed Nash's character, he specially designed a slightly ambiguous accent to highlight Nash's careful and sensitive characteristics. It's just that he didn't speak with this accent originally, so it was inevitable that he could not hear clearly when he read the lines. I have to say, because this NG is a thing that makes people laugh and cry.
The shooting time was tight this evening, and if it was delayed, the shooting at the Performing Arts Center would be delayed tomorrow, which is why Angela was so threatening. It's just that she must feel a little lost in her heart. If the filming for today and tomorrow is successfully completed, most of the supporting characters except Russell, Harris, Bettany and others will leave the crew.
I really don't know how to describe this taste. Angela couldn't help but glance at Kate as the assistant director began to clear the scene, her first time working with her lover. The other party also noticed her eyes immediately. Although he couldn't give her too much response in full view, he still smiled and secretly made a soothing gesture to Angela.
The girl shrugged and calmed down, and quickly put her energy on the director. After all, she has already been nominated for best director twice, even if it is not entirely her work, but if you don't have such a bit of determination, there is no need to accomplish her goals.
The shooting went well, and in this scene, which was basically dominated by two people, Russell and Kate, both played well. Angela also resisted the urge to make Kate perform better through repeated shooting, and wholeheartedly grasped and analyzed whether the qualities Kate showed were what she needed from the camera.
The next day's Nobel Prize ceremony also went well. Russell didn't need to say more. Although the speech was modified from Nash's speech when he won the award, he still grasped the emotions very well. it is good. And Kate may only have a few shots left after editing, but the effect of the performance in the case of old makeup is even better than yesterday. In addition, the previous scene of putting on old makeup was also very good. Angela thought it maliciously. Could it be that the uglier Kate looks, the better her acting skills are
After that, as arranged, several actors were going to leave the set, and Kate was going back to Los Angeles—although there was still some time before filming of "The Matrix 2" began, preparations still had to be done.
"It's too tiring to start filming again," Kate complained to Angela.
"Is there more to do with me?" Angela immediately rolled her eyes, and at the same time considered preparing for "The Devil" before Kate ended the filming of "The Matrix 2", and then... hum!
Since many people left at the same time, Angela generously gave the crew a day off, and then held a farewell party, and everyone had a good time. Angela and Kate, who both drank some wine, had a good time in the hotel room that night.
