In the Effieber restaurant, the staff were setting up temporary equipment and explaining the precautions to the guests who were in the background. Kate stood on the periphery while recalling the lines and waiting for the start.
She looks very beautiful now, her dark brown curly long hair has been rolled up, a black halter dress shows her figure perfectly, and black lace pattern stockings make her slender legs look like sexier.
However, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she seemed to be a little worried. Although she also participated in the shooting of some movies and stage performances last year, most of them were small roles with only a few lines, and she played an important role in a certain scene as she is now. It is indeed the first time.
Kate looked to the side, Angela and Natalie were sitting in the corner of the restaurant and watching the staff busy, seeing her look over, Angela raised her hands and gave her a thumbs up with a smile. Kate smiled back at her, then turned her head to recall the lines and the scene that Director Brest told her.
"Are you nervous? Don't worry, it was the first time. I remember when I was filming for the first time, my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't remember anything. From the start of the director's call to the stop, I stood there and didn't say a word. , and was severely reprimanded." Chris O'Donnell, who was also waiting on the side, walked over and said, his smile was very charming, and in the eyes of most women, he was a man worth dating.
However, Kate just nodded politely and said lightly: "I'm not nervous, but I really didn't expect that the director would really let me take this role after simply performing in front of the camera, which made me very happy. surprise."
"I believe in Mr. Brest's vision. Since he has chosen you, then you will definitely be able to do it." Chris said in relief, reaching out as if to pat Kate's shoulder, but he raised his hand again. put it down.
"Ha, kid, don't try to seduce my daughter! Otherwise I'll beat you up!" A voice suddenly came from the side, startling him.
"Mr. Al? You terrified me." Chris looked "heartbroken".
"Frightened so easily, Charlie? It's time to send you to the battlefield to see, then I promise you won't be afraid to go to the bathroom alone at night again." Al came over with wide unfocused eyes, still That blind man's expression, "You know, it takes a lot of courage to build a toilet on a battlefield."
Kate couldn't help but burst out laughing, Chris also laughed after being dumb for a few seconds, Al spread his hands like an urchin, and turned to Kate: "Don't be too surprised, Miss Kate, now what you have to do That is, how to keep your head down while tangoing!"
Kate only smiled bitterly, she knew what Al was talking about, it was an accident, oh, it can't be said to be an accident, anyway, no one noticed during the audition - neither the director, Al nor Angela noticed it until the tango rehearsal. Only then did I realize that Kate was at least an inch taller than Al! Dancing tango like this is really not a fun thing.
However, it is not impossible to solve it. The staff raised the leather shoes for Al, and asked that in the middle of the jump, Kate’s knees were slightly bent and her head was shorter. With the editing of the camera, there would not be much problem, just Kate It takes a lot of hard work, that's why Al makes fun of it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, we're going to shoot," Martin called to them now, sitting behind the camera.
Because Kate is an extra, the director decided to shoot her part first, but the tango part was put at the end. After all, making a movie is not like shooting one shot one shot at a time.
"It's really bad, Kate said the wrong line and she still looks a little uncomfortable."
"Good! I knew she could do it!... Why did the director call NG? I think she did a good job! Hell!"
"Okay, very good, Kate has entered the state!"
Natalie was sitting on a chair with one hand supporting her face, looking at Angela who was excited beside her with some amusing. She stared at the shooting scene with wide eyes, her hands were clenched into fists, and her face was full of worry, tension and excitement. , as if you were performing yourself.
She looks so cute. Natalie rolled her eyes when she thought about it, and suddenly leaned in and said softly, "Angie, you seem to care about Kate very much."
"Do you care?" Angela turned her head, "Of course, although we are 7 years apart, we are the best sisters, just like Jessica and I, even close to some extent, remember me and Did you say, I ran away from home when I was 4 years old, and if Kate hadn't picked me up, maybe something would have happened..."
"Wait, wait, Angie, let's not talk about this for now, I just want to say..." Natalie suddenly showed a narrow smile, "Do you feel that you have a strong possessiveness towards Kate?"
"What?!" A thick and large black line suddenly stood up on Angela's head.
"You see, you've been paying close attention to Kate, you've always asked her about everything she's done, and you've always decided something for her without thinking, and most importantly, you've been very helpful to the young men who are around Kate. Being hostile, afraid that they will take her away from you, psychologically speaking, these are all signs of possessiveness... Hey, what's your expression!" Natalie looked at Angela with a face, "By you Defeated" and "Speak, speak, try to speak" expressions, she exclaimed in disbelief, she was joking, yes, but it's really unpleasant to be seen through before she's finished speaking.
"I don't have any expressions, I'm just wondering when you became a psychologist." Angela replied lazily, she stopped watching Kate's performance at this time, and kept staring at Natalie, She was taken aback just now, but fortunately, she reacted immediately. If she was really cheated by Natalie, it would be a shame.
"This is just simple psychological common sense. You can come to a conclusion as long as you pay more attention to observation." Natalie turned her head to look at the set, not daring to look at Angela, but she was still stubborn.
Angela pouted, seeing that the scene had been shot, and the most difficult part was about to be shot. The director was letting everyone rest for ten minutes, so she moved closer to Natalie's face: "Really? So Miss Psychologist, can you see what I want to do next?"
"What are you doing?" Natalie turned her head curiously.
The girl giggled, jumped up from the chair, and walked from the outer circle to the band next to the dance floor. Several musicians in the band were discussing the tune to be played later. Angela went straight to the middle-aged man who played the violin. : "Can I use your violin, sir?"
"What's the matter with you, miss?" The man looked at the little girl and then at his colleague, not understanding what the other party wanted to do.
Angela pointed to the violin in his hand, with a harmless smile on his face: "Can I try it?"
"This? Miss, this is not a toy." The man wanted to reject her, but looking at her cute smile, after thinking about it, he handed it to her: "Okay, please be careful."
The girl nodded, put the violin on her shoulder, and tried the music with a bow. Although it was a little worse than the one at home, the tone and tone were very good, and then she smiled at the man who gave her the violin He smiled, took a deep breath, and stroked the strings.
The lazy and humorous tunes flowed, and no one noticed it at first, and although several musicians in the band were a little surprised by the girl's skill, it was not surprising that if you practiced since childhood, as long as you work hard to achieve such a skill It is possible, but when the A section was about to be finished and it was about to switch to the B section, Angela suddenly raised her hand, and the bow quickly strummed on the strings several times, and then pulled it for a long time. With the continuous poking, the part that should have been carried over by the sound of the piano was pulled over, and it felt very natural. Such a change surprised the musicians next to him, and some guests also I was attracted by "Only One Step" played by this different pure violin.
"Just One Step", or more elegantly "One Step", is a famous work by Carlos Gardel, the uncrowned king of Argentine tango, and it was also the song that Angela played privately for Princess Diana at the New Year's party at Buckingham Palace. , this famous tango song has always been the first choice for tango in movies. In the movies that the little girl remembers, "True Lies", "The King's Team", "Mrs. Smith" and other movies have been used, but these are not comparable This passage from "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman".
There are two most classic episodes in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", one is Arna's lively speech at the end of the movie, and the other is this wonderful and romantic tango. Angela still remembers a comment that said that this is a wonderful dance, this is a spiritual encounter, some people can live their whole life in one minute, and some people are worth letting you dance for him in a dance Exhausting his life, is that a blind man? No, he's not, he's Al Pacino, even though he's trying to keep his empty eyes open; no, he is, he's the lieutenant who's about to end his life's journey, and there's hopelessness and grief in those empty eyes , the last part of this death journey is so warm and beautiful, it's hard to let go!
The "One Step Away" played by pure violin ended, followed by applause, a few first, then one piece, and finally everyone applauded, Angela sighed lightly, pure violin performance was completely improvised by her , borrowing the techniques of many famous violin masters such as Itzhak Perlman, but fortunately seems to have done a good job.
After returning the violin in his hand to the musician next to him, he quickly came to the director amid applause, opened his mouth and asked, "Dear Mr. Martin, I know you plan to record live, so can you let me play the violin?"
