The famous Hollywood director Kronberg came to China, and the famous Chinese actress Buyiyi was also filming seriously in the United States at this time.
Shen Huan found such a good opportunity for Buyiyi. Of course Buyiyi happily packed her things and hurried to the United States to make preparations.
Almost as soon as Shen Huan returned from the United States, she had already arrived in Los Angeles and arrived at the set of "Joker".
Todd Phillips attaches great importance to the heroine. As soon as she came over, she was paired with an assistant who was responsible for her various affairs.
Hollywood is also a vanity fair. Since everyone knows that Buyiyi is the girlfriend of the boss of the production company, it is impossible to disrespect her.
When the actor Joaquin Phoenix discusses the plot, he will explain it in detail to Buyiyi, for fear that she will not understand the character's position and situation in the story.
So Buyiyi’s journey was smooth.
When the crew was still preparing, she was brought to rehearse by Joaquin Phoenix. She decided on her own makeup, positioning, performance time, etc., and had great autonomy.
During this period, she also deliberately went to experience American life, striving to integrate herself into American society as soon as possible.
At least it's enough for acting.
But after filming started, Buyiyi gradually fell into trouble.
To be honest, Buyiyi doesn't have many heroine scenes, but it plays a vital catalytic factor in the clown's transformation.
Although director and producer Todd Phillips has made changes to the heroine's identity, the challenge for Buyiyi is still great.
No, after struggling all morning and shooting 5 sets of shots, 3 of them failed. With no other choice, Todd Phillips could only let Buyi rest first and adjust his emotional state before shooting again in the afternoon.
The crew didn't stop completely. The assistant director led a group of people to take photos of the extras.
Buyiyi entered the large nanny car and immediately put away her peaceful face and turned into a frown.
The only person who could accompany her in was Wang Xi, whom she brought from China.
Behind him, Wang Xi quickly closed the door and poured a glass of ice water for Buyiyi. "Come on, sit down and take a rest. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Otherwise, if you collapse, how can you still shoot?"
"I can't help it!" Buyiyi said in annoyance while drinking water: "Joaquin is so awesome. He is obviously still in despair, but I can always see crazy things in his eyes. , if you are so scared, you will naturally not be able to act!"
"This is the strength of a Hollywood actor-level actor." Wang Xidao, "It is precisely because of this that you have to be more upbeat, otherwise there will be more people gossiping behind your back."
"What are you afraid of? They don't dare to say it in front of me!" Buyiyi snorted coldly, "I just got stuck these days. Couldn't they see my previous efforts?"
"What they can see is that you are Shen Huan's woman and you came in with the power of capital." Wang Xi responded.
"Tch, if I had paid attention to these people, how could I still have struggled till now?" Xiao Hua Dan said dismissively, "Even if I have Shen Huan here, I should act well. I will definitely act well and I will never be perfunctory. It’s over.”
Wang Xi nodded.
On this point, she still admired Buyiyi.
For example, this was the case in the previous "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
That TV series was also invested by Shen Huan as the boss, and Buyiyi was also the heroine.
But Buyiyi is not proud at all. Before joining the crew, she started practicing kung fu and opera singing, chanting and fighting. She perfectly presented the image of Xiao Yanzi and became the most popular heroine in the hearts of Chinese people.
When she came to the United States to film, Buyiyi was busy from morning to night. During the day, she got used to the crew and found other actors to familiarize herself with the plot. At night, she started acting in front of the mirror.
Even though she doesn't have many roles, she takes every scene very seriously.
It's just that the scenes have just started in the past few days, and Buyiyi has not yet adapted to the shooting methods of American movies and the expressions of her opponents.
Joaquin Phoenix's experience and talent in acting are not inferior to those of several Chinese movie kings.
And his characteristics are very obvious, and people can feel it as soon as they work with him.
Buyiyi has never worked with movie stars before, so it is normal for her to be suppressed by that sinister aura.
"We will return to China in late September to prepare for the second part of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", so your scenes will be filmed more intensively, and you have to work harder." Wang Xi reminded her, "How about you? , why don’t you ask Mr. Nicholson for advice again tonight?”
"Forget it!"
Buyiyi's face changed, "I'm afraid of him! In less than three words, he will immediately turn to Shen Huan and want me to persuade Shen Huan to return to the NBA and play for the Lakers."
Wang Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
Nicholson is not that exaggerated. He waits until he helps Buyiyi solve a problem every time before he is so soft-spoken.
Even if Buyiyi said that he couldn't influence Shen Huan, Nicholson didn't believe it.
One thing he often says is, "Yiyi, you know I'm 70 years old, and I don't know when I'm going to see God. Can't you agree to such a poor old man's request?"
To be honest, if Buyiyi was already Shen Huan's woman at this time, she would definitely still say a few words of help.
But the two of them are just boyfriend and girlfriend whose intimacy has not yet reached its peak. How do you ask her to influence Shen Huan
That's why she was afraid of Nicholson's complaints again and again.
But then, Xiao Hua Dan gritted her teeth again, "Forget it, I'll give him a call later... Is he really not coming to the set today?"
"There is no drama for him today." Wang Xi said with a smile.
"Oh, it's really hard to be a good actor!" Buyiyi sighed, reached for a handkerchief, covered her face, and began to close her eyes to rest.
…
Outside the nanny's van, Todd Phillips, who was resting, was also chatting with Joaquin Phoenix about Bouyee.
"Do you think Yiyi can adjust in time?" Todd Phillips asked.
"It should be okay." Joaquin Phoenix nodded, "She is very smart and studious, and she definitely has no spirit of giving up. Such an actress, after coming to us to practice for several years, will not be inferior to those first-class actresses. star."
Todd Phillips was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know that Joaquin Phoenix had such a high opinion of Buyiyi.
Sensing the director's eyes, Joaquin Phoenix smiled, "I live next door to her, and the lights on her balcony are on very late every night, and occasionally I can hear her voice reciting her lines... Such a pure person There are very few actors in Hollywood!”
"I see!"
Todd Phillips also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Joaquin Phoenix agrees with the heroine so much, there is no need to worry about conflicts between them in the following filming because of Buyiyi's delay in getting into the mood.
By the way, this shooting went really smoothly.
Even if Buyiyi is stuck today, it does not hinder the smooth progress of the film.
This is inseparable from the strong support given by Shen Huan.
First of all, he found Nicholson, a super veteran actor. Under his leadership, the crew was energized.
Then Shen Huan gave back a full US$50 million in filming costs, which allowed Todd Phillips to easily select and arrange locations and make various generous budgets.
For a feature film like this, although the special effects are not very expensive, the amount of money spent on the details is quite a lot!
