The father brought the prepared spaghetti and meatballs to the table, and was about to call his daughter for dinner, when he walked to the living room and saw her standing at the corner of the stairs.
"Emily, come down for dinner." Father said with a gentle smile.
The daughter nodded slightly as an answer, her face was blank, without any expression, as if she didn't care about anything, and there was a gloomy look between her brows.
The father and daughter sat down at the table, and they didn't speak anymore. The atmosphere seemed very dull. The father saw that his daughter was scratching the meatballs on the plate from time to time, and he seemed to have no appetite, so he asked, "I remember the spaghetti and the meatballs are you. Favorite food, aren't you hungry now?"
The daughter didn't answer. The father thought about it, stretched his face, made a funny look, and wanted to make his daughter happy, but the daughter just gave him a light look and stood up: "I want to go to bed."
"Cut!" David Fincher, who had been watching from the camera, called out, frowning and shaking his head, obviously not very satisfied.
"What's the matter, David, it's been 4 times, can't it?" Paul. Tux leaned in and asked, who had been sent by Warners as a producer and studio manager.
"The atmosphere is generally perfect, but," David sighed while looking at the camera, "Miss Mason's eyes are too free and seem a little absent-minded."
"To be honest, I can't tell. I think Miss Mason is doing a good job." Paul shrugged.
"Hey Paul, we agreed, I'm in control of everything on set." David frowned at Paul.
"Yeah, I know, I just wanted to say, as a director, if you think there is a problem, then you should find a way to fix her," Paul said.
David thought for a while, touched his chin and said, "The two or three shots in the morning were good, but they were all shot separately. I think... Miss Mason may be a little nervous because she has to play against Mr. Pacino."
"So I think it's best to let everyone rest for a few minutes first," Al came over at this time and spread his hands to the two of them, "Let me talk to the little guy."
David looked at Angela who was sitting at the table holding his face and staring at the table, and nodded: "Okay, that's it."
Angela, who didn't respond to Mr. Director's "Take a 10-minute break now" shout, was depressed. In fact, she thought she had a good idea of the role of Emily. Anyway, she wrote the script word by word. Besides, she still remembers the most pertinent comments and character analysis in her previous life. She also tried to make some small movements and expressions for herself in advance, so that she would not imitate Dakota as much as possible, but why did she disagree with Al? There is always a feeling of dodging and unable to let go during the play
"What are you thinking? Angela? Spaghetti and meatballs don't suit your taste?" Al sat down in front of her, tapped the table, and asked with a smile.
"You know what I'm thinking, Dad, Mr. Director also knows, basically everyone knows it." Angela pressed her face and pouted.
"I don't know, Angela, I'm not a wizard and can't read minds, so if you can, how about you tell me? I promise not to say it." Al raised a hand and said seriously.
"Really?" The little girl put her head on her arm, blinked at each other, and said after a while, "Okay, I feel like I can't let go when I'm playing against you."
"Can't let go, why? Always thought that there was a mafia godfather sitting in front of him?" Al jokingly spread his hands.
"How do you think you're a psychiatrist with schizophrenia and your godfather? Dad?" The little girl waved her fist in dissatisfaction, as if very angry, "You have insulted both your own image and your own image. My IQ!"
"Oh, God, don't you look like this, it looks like I'm a wicked man?" Al hurriedly pretended to be sincere, "God, I pray to you, I repent to you, I ruined my image, I ruined my image I have gained the confidence of a talented girl, please forgive me."
His serious look made Angela giggle, and the previous depression was much less.
"You know, Mr. Al... oh, let's call you dad," Angela said with a smile, "in fact, during the show, I always thought, if Mr. De Niro played this role, he would What a show."
"Robert?" Al laughed in disbelief, "Okay, I admit the two of us are always mentioned together in Hollywood, but I've never met, um, someone would be thinking about my role as What would he be like, it's... interesting."
Wouldn't it be more interesting if you knew the character was originally his? Angela made a face in her heart, and unknowingly, her heart was completely relieved. What I knew about Al Pacino in the past came from movies and related reviews, but now Al is the real Al, humorous, Funny and approachable, not a character from a movie.
"Okay, Dad, I'll be honest, as long as I see you in the opposite role, I'll feel that I haven't done enough homework, that I don't know enough about this role, and that I might not be able to play her well. " Angela said with a sigh, "Or I should learn method acting to really understand the feelings of those girls who have been hurt."
"Angela, I'm glad you could say this to me, but what I'm trying to say is—take it easy, boy, method isn't for everyone, like you, to play the role of Emily well, you have to find Living in a perverted family to experience? Or to visit children who have had similar experiences? Even if you wanted to, your family wouldn't allow it, and the law wouldn't allow it. Children, everyone has their own way of acting, and the method is not the best. The good ones are not the only ones, the key is whether you pay attention when you act! So, kid, don't worry, don't force it, relax now, and just treat me like a normal person, a normal actor - I haven't won an Oscar , get rid of the distracting thoughts in your head, and complete this drama with all your heart and soul, and when you are done, you will no longer have these troubles!" Al said very seriously, just like the elders taught the younger generation earnestly, But in the end, he changed his words: "Of course, if you want, I don't mind you playing me as Robert."
Angela couldn't help laughing again, sticking out her tongue: "Don't worry, Dad, although I also like Mr. De Niro very much, but I love you more, because you are my dad, um, after Mr. David started shouting ."
"That's great, I'm proud to have a daughter like you. Well, after David started shouting." Al clapped his hands pretentiously. He could see that the little girl had really put down the burden in her heart. He was very happy. I like this girl, and when I look at her, I will think of my daughter Julie, who will be 3 years old soon, but I hope Julie will not be too precocious like her.
After Angela solved her psychological burden, the filming in the next few days was impressive. Emily was perfected by her because of her mental state of wrapping herself in a shell and refusing to communicate with everyone after losing her mother. It was shown that the kind of neurotic gloom on her face even made people think she was Emily, which surprised David, Al and other staff members.
However, the seasoned Al soon realized that Angela seemed to be a little deep into the play. After several shootings, the little guy sat quietly in the corner without saying a word, quietly fascinated, as if he was still in a shell. He refused to come out, and he could recover at most for a few minutes at the beginning, but it took longer as he went on, and at one point he even shot two consecutive scenes in one state.
Al talked to Angela a few times about this, as well as her agent Sparrow, the nanny Grace, and the temporary teacher Ms. Brown, but the little girl always said that she was nothing, and it would be fine after the shooting, and She didn't do anything out of the ordinary other than sitting on the side for a while after the filming, so Al finally thought about it and didn't say more, just told Sparrow and the three to pay attention, and he also looked at her at the same time.
Angela is very grateful for Al's concern. In fact, she also knows that she is a little too involved in the drama, but she doesn't want to think about it too much. After Al untied her psychological burden that night, she vowed to study her own acting skills. , even if filming is fun in most cases, it can't be a vase. When Vivien Leigh played against Marlon Brando, the pinnacle of the method school, in "A Streetcar Named Desire", she had a different style of her own. Do you have acting skills, and it complements Malone.
The more she delved into it, the more fascinated she became, and the more fascinated she became, the less she wanted to give up. Anyway, there were not many people around to talk to. Although Mr. Sparrow was a good person, he obviously would report his every move to his father, the new nanny Ge. Liz had just arrived, and was nowhere near as close as she and Jennifer were, and Ms. Brown... God knows why her parents would ask her to come again, and now there's no Jessica around to cover her.
Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that she needs to have something to occupy her head, instead of thinking about certain things, you must know that the filming location of "Hide and Seek" is still in Woodland Town, not far from New York , it only takes a few hours to get to New York on weekends off.
Angela doesn't want to go to New York, even though Grandpa is there, because Mr. Sparrow brought the news early that "Killer Leon" has already started filming there!
