Three days later, Queen Padmé Amidala, who had been waiting for Don for a long time, finally appeared.

Accompanying her in the crew is also 13-year-old Keira Knightley, who plays Queen Amidala's servant and stand-in.

Compared with this little Lori who has not yet developed, the target of Don's attention is naturally the goddess Natalie Portman in his heart.

At this time, three makeup artists gathered around Natalie, giving her an intricate queen dress.

Don sat on the sidelines, and for the first half hour, he often talked about some work-related topics, and then it became more and more personal.

"Did the final exam go well?"

"It went well. ”

"All As?"

Natalie smiled confidently, "All A!"

Tang Enzan said: "It's hard to imagine that you usually spend so much time acting, and you can still learn so well. ”

Natalie pouted, "What's so hard about this? It's normal for anyone to be deprived of dating time, and they can only read in the study every day of their free time." ”

The strict discipline of her mother, Shirley Herschle, made Natalie Portman in the rebellious period already dissatisfied.

Donn sighed and hesitated, "Actually, I've called you several times, and Mrs. Herschler answered. ”

Natalie became emotional and pouted, "But I don't know!"

The makeup artist hurriedly admonished, "Miss Portman, please don't move, it will affect the makeup." ”

"Humph!"

Natalie pouted angrily.

"Actually, Mrs. Herchler cares about you, too. Seeing that her face became more and more displeased, Don changed the topic and said with a smile: "But now it's okay, you've joined the crew, let's ...... When the afternoon shooting is over, can I treat you to dinner?"

Natalie's heartbeat accelerated a little, and Done's performance on the day of the audition made her have a faint guess. Back at school, she quietly mentioned it to a few girlfriends who had been in love, and they all said that it was love at first sight.

Listening to Done's invitation, Natalie couldn't wait to agree immediately, her mood was not too high, "But...... My mom doesn't allow me to go out at night with men. ”

"What about you? Would you like to?"

"Of course I do!" Natalie blurted out subconsciously, and then felt that she should be a little reserved as a girl, biting her lip and saying, "I'm almost bored to death, my mother treats me like a prisoner every day!"

Donn smiled: "Madame Herchler, I'll go and say, I'll invite you to talk about your understanding of the movie, presumably she won't refuse me." ”

Natalie couldn't help but urge, "Is this the director's prerogative?"

Don laughed, "Even if it's it!"

……

The biggest attraction of the whole movie is the special effects and action, relatively speaking, the actors' performances are much secondary.

However, Don doesn't want the whole movie to be without a brilliant role, so the performance requirements for the actors are much higher than in the original book.

He also knows that it is far more difficult to play a one-man show in front of the air than to play against an actor. Everything is played by imagination, which is not only a matter of the quality of acting, but also the level of image thinking.

Relatively speaking, young people like Ben Affleck are easier to accept, and Liam Neeson has repeatedly caused problems for Donn.

"Stop! Liam, how many times have I said that acting is not a recitation!expression, what about your expression?" Donn interrupted the shooting loudly, looking at Liam Neeson, who was speaking lines in front of the green screen, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Liam Neeson is also the number one person in Hollywood, and he was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor with "Schindler's List", so he was blatantly accused of poor acting skills by a twenty-year-old child, and he was a little annoyed.

"Don, I don't understand what you mean, what did I do wrong?"

"You're not wrong, but I need your performance to be a little more attentive, okay?"

"Didn't you say Jedi, be ruthless?"

"Ruthlessness does not mean ruthlessness! Liam, do you understand that you value Anakin as a child, but behind all the rumors, what kind of danger and murderous intentions will be contained, you must have expectations, but also have fear!"

Don En is already a little speechless, and he really doesn't know what to say about such a big guy on the set with status and no acting skills.

At this time, George Lucas walked over, took a look at the gunpowder-smelling shooting scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

Liam Neeson was the male number one he had set early, but he didn't expect such a big conflict with Donn's philosophy.

Is Don wrong?

No, as a director, it is his responsibility to make the actors perform better.

But what about Liam Neeson? He has been acting for twenty or thirty years, and it seems that he has always been like this, and Steve Spielberg has never made him change, so why did Donn Walker make these "excessive" demands?

George Lucas was also a little big-headed, "Donn, this is not an important shot, there is no need to be too harsh." ”

Tang Enzheng said: "George, how many close-up live-action shots are there in the whole movie? In addition to the animated characters, that is, the fights in the wide-angle shots, I need this movie to have flesh and blood, and only close-ups can make the movie more realistic." ”

Liam Neeson spread his hands, looking fearless and indifferent.

George Lucas frowned, "Donne, your request...... Not in line with Liam's drama over the past few decades. ”

This is a very tactful statement, but it directly points to Donn's requirements beyond Liam Neeson's acting skills.

Tang En's face turned cold all of a sudden, "Since that's the case, then this set of shots should be deleted directly!"

"No!" Lucas became serious, "Donn, this is an important shot that connects the past and the next, leading to the rumors of 'balance', and also foreshadowing Anakin's future, indispensable!"

Donn shrugged his shoulders, "I know that I can let Ben Affleck replace him, borrow the mouth of 'Obi-Wan', and show the uncertainty of the rumors and the dilemma of 'Kuigang' from the side." ”

"This ......"

George Lucas was a little caught off guard and was a little surprised by Donn's toughness.

Has it come to the point of deleting the male number one scene?

This is a precursor to tearing the skin!

Liam Neeson was also stunned, he really didn't expect that the young Donne Walker would have a bigger temper and tougher attitude than Steve Spielberg and George Lucas!

Liam Neeson, who was still thinking of competing with the young director, immediately weakened his attitude and softened his expression, "This...... Donn, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, let's shoot a few more and try it out, okay?"

Tang En looked at him deeply, "Can you play well?"

"Try a few more, it won't be too bad. "Liam Neeson has been acting for decades, and it's not useless, it's just that this kind of sci-fi and action movie doesn't need to be too careful.

"Then try it. ”

As soon as Don waved his hand, he didn't have the posture of a young man, even if he treated a veteran actor like Liam Neeson, he also had the momentum of a high-ranking person.

George Lucas looked at the slightly hooked appearance of the corners of Donne's mouth, and his heart suddenly jumped: "This kid...... You can't use me as a gunman, right?"

He was surprised, surprised by Donn's ability, surprised by his wrist, and even more surprised by his mental skill.

Looking at Donn Walker, sitting in the director's chair and looking at the viewfinder with one eye, George Lucas had a vision far greater than when he created "Star Wars".

This kid is afraid to rewrite the pattern of Hollywood!

……

Natalie Portman is still underage, so her agent, guardian, Shirley Hirschler, can always supervise on set.

By the end of the afternoon filming, Don was apprehensive, his pace was heavy, and he had more than a dozen reasons in his mind, that is, to convince the "stubborn" mother.

"Mrs. Herchler, I would like to invite Nate to dinner in Chinatown......"

Before the words fell, a smile appeared on Shirley Herchler's slightly old face, "Yes, I believe that Nat will be very happy to be invited by Director Walker." ”

Don was a little surprised, it's so simple?

Shirley Hershler seemed to see Donn's surprise, and said meaningfully: "But Nate believes in Judaism, and we have strict rules. ”

Vegetarian, frugal, and self-...... before marriage

Don smiled, "Nat is still underage, I understand. ”

This is California, and having sex with a girl under the age of eighteen is a crime!

Even if Don had ten thousand thoughts, he wouldn't dare to take such a risk.

Besides, Natalie Portman is not the same in Donn's heart as the female companions he has dated in the past. She is ice and jade, she is young, she is an undeveloped jade.

Tang En is very willing to make this piece of jade more beautiful and magnificent.
