Chapter 488: The Fourth Desert Island Joke
“Action!”
Today, the set of "The Dead" is in a quiet cemetery, among the pine trees, there are tombstones erected on the verdant lawn, the performance area is full of police officers, silver bands playing mourning music, farewell police officers in police uniforms or formal uniforms, old priests holding Bibles in his hands, reading funeral prayers to the coffin covered with Star-Spangled Banners, and a large photo frame with a heroic smile photo of "Billy" in a police uniform placed in front, the atmosphere is very solemn.
This scene is Billy's funeral, the "deceased" Heath Ledger did not appear, otherwise it must be so weird that everyone can't enter the play, this is the only scene where Natalie and Knightley's characters appear at the same time, at this time both of them look sad, Natalie's eyes are red, very sad and sad, and Michael Pitt on the other side is silent, his brows seem to be wrinkled, sad, regretful, secretly happy, guilty, and I don't know what he is thinking.
After coming to September, the shots of the two female characters were gradually completed, and Natalie, who played a supporting role in "Blueberry Night", which has been filmed for three months, cooperated more neatly with the crew, if it weren't for Wong Kar-wai's notoriously slow filming, the supporting role of a romance film in 3 months would be enough;
"CUT! Very good, prepare for the next shot!" In order to shoot the panorama, the camera team was in a far position, and Wang Yang shouted in satisfaction to stop.
In fact, they don't need to perform much in this shot, because it's not a close-up, and the focus area is not them, in other words, their facial expressions are basically not visible in the footage taken into the film, but the leading actors are still fully engaged, which is a great performance, and when they will shoot close-ups, close-ups, etc., their repeated brewing emotions will be better.
Although the two women were a little wordy, when they touched each other, they were like "big aunts...... It's worth mentioning that since The Big Bang Theory came out with "I-Got-Aunt-Irma-Visiting." This kind of metaphor has gradually become the most popular depiction of something among young people.
Anyway, Lili is incompatible, but the two of them are worthy of being the youngest Oscar nominees, dealing with such an originally comfortable role, both of them are very amazing, not only overfulfilled the task, but also brought their own unique temperament and charm to the role, sometimes the difference between superstars and ordinary actors is this, they will always find an impressive way, they interpret the two ordinary roles that have not played much into the classics of female policemen and female psychologists.
Hearing the director's shout CUT, the big fat man Harry George turned off the camera, everyone stopped, and Natalie and Knightley, who were relieved, glanced at each other intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to participate in the preparations.
On the set of Pokémon, no one dared to make a mistake, of course, it had something to do with the fact that the actors he was looking for were all dedicated and good-tempered, and on this day, both of them temporarily put aside their inexplicable grievances and successfully bid farewell to this scene with not many shots, which can be regarded as a pleasant day, although the atmosphere on the set is very gloomy.
Although Keira Knightley doesn't have many scenes, because her starring "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is in full swing in California, the crew will soon go to Singapore to shoot most of the scenes, and it is very urgent for her to leave the crew and come to shoot "The Dead" because of the time difference, so "The Dead" takes care of her very much, in addition to gathering the filming schedule, but also working overtime for her on the weekend, Wang Yang even slowed down the progress of "I Am Legend" so that she could finish it quickly.
"Jan, this is my good friend, Erishan Chung, 3/8 Chinese descent, and she's always loved your movies. ”
On this day, "The Dead" filmed the interior scene of the Colin family's apartment, Knightley brought a young female friend who visited the class, a tall, generous-looking brown-haired Chinese-mixed-race child, and the trendy Erishan is obviously also a cool girl with a lot of personality, but when she saw the magic Young, she obviously couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, her face was a little red, and she finally saw the idol for many years!
"Hello, Elishan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wang Yang nodded and stretched out his hand without much care. Erishan hurriedly shook hands with him, looked at him intently, and smiled with a British accent: "Hello, Amazing Jan! This is great, I have loved you since I was 14 years old, I love your humor the most, haha! And my dad, "Firefly" is his favorite movie, and our whole family is your fan. ”
Wang Yang couldn't help but smile: "Oh, thank you! This is also a great thing." "Every time I meet a young person now, I often hear that I watched "Ghost Record" at the age of 13/14/15/X, and he really doesn't recognize the old.
Seeing that the British woman was a little nervous, Wang Yang pretended to be next to Knightley and quietly praised: "This friend of yours dresses quite tastefully, I really want to be this kind of fashionista." Seeing that they wanted to laugh, Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "You know, then I can get rid of those damn expensive new clothes and wear them out of trend with old clothes, this is not humor, you know best how crazy it is for women to buy clothes, especially a woman who doesn't diet." ”
"Haha!" The two of them laughed out loud, and while being amused, Elishan naturally felt great about being praised by her idol, could she really have a talent for matching clothes?
In order to keep the atmosphere of the scene and the filming progress tense and busy, there are not many people who can hear these relaxed laughter on the set of "The Dead", Michael Pitt, who was reading the script there, glanced at it and secretly sighed: "Are there any women that Young doesn't know how to get along with?" He had worked with Knightley for several months because of "Silk", but he felt that his friendship with her was not as good as Jan, who had worked with her for just a few days.
This is a set not a café, laughing and talking, agreeing to Elishan's request to take a photo with her after finishing work, Wang Yang and Knightley began to talk about business, and after a while, Michael was called over to rehearse the camera.
From the first sentence, Knightley listened very attentively, occasionally voicing her thoughts and questions, and then received an answer that made her nod in the affirmative. She was not convinced by Wang Yang from the beginning, especially when she thought of Natalie, sometimes even he was annoyed under the "hatred of the house and Wu", this time the appearance somewhat made this amazing director see her ability, but these days, she has to give a thumbs up!
Knightley naturally likes those cool people, she doesn't want her mother-in-law to talk and do things, it's best to even care about her sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentional sarcasm, and she can be sarcastic back to her, so that she feels convinced, and Magic Young is undoubtedly such a person! He doesn't care if she is Knightley or whatever, he praises her if she plays well, criticizes if she doesn't act well, and she says very constructively, so that she can see some things that she can't see, and the chat in her leisure time is very interesting and very tasteful.
She understands why Natalie and many other actors love and admire him so much, and he is really a magical Young! 26 years old, but he is better than all the directors she has worked with, and they are pleasing to her eyes. Knightley told herself that if there was an opportunity to work together in the future, especially the opportunity to play the heroine, she would not miss it, but would strive to play it even harder! Because the director on the set was Wang Yang, it was really a pleasure.
With the sound of "Action!", filming began on the set again, and day after day, Keira Knightley said goodbye to the crew in a good mood, and soon it was Natalie Portman's turn.
"Wow! she's so big, the last time I saw her, she was just the size of a loaf of bread. ”
On the set of the psychiatrist's office, the camera team was adjusting the camera position, Wang Yang and Heath Ledger were talking, and in the rest area on the side, Natalie was holding Keke with a smile on her face, teasing her with a baby voice, and teaching softly: "Forget that I am? Call Auntie, I'm Aunt Natalie!" Natalie-" The last time Keke saw Natalie was in June, and when it was her birthday, she probably forgot about it, but the little angel has never been afraid of life at all, she was amused and babbled, muttered for a while, and suddenly waved her hand and shouted: " NANA,NANA!”
"Oooh......" Natalie looked up at Jessica with wide eyes, opened her round mouth and took a deep breath with a look of "oh my God". Wang Yang had already publicized the fact that Keke would call her parents, but now that she suddenly heard her speak, Natalie was still shocked.
Jessica smiled proudly, the baby really gave her mother a long face! She grinned, "Keke still remembers you." Natalie looked down at her little sweetheart with big round eyes, chubby and so cute, she couldn't help but sigh: "I also want to have a baby, how can there be such a cute creature in the world?"
As a result, Natalie found more deeply that when she was young, she said that she didn't believe in marriage and had no interest in having children, which was all nonsense, maybe she often couldn't figure out what she wanted, and she even had a moment of doubt, will one day suddenly she no longer be a vegetarian?
As the days passed, with a "CUT! good-" sound, the big fat man turned off the camera, and Natalie's scenes were all filmed! The apartment hallway set burst into applause and cheers, and the performance of the Harvard psychiatrist was obvious to all.
"Jan, I've been on the set with three directors Wang, the best ...... You, of course. ”
After cheering, everyone packed up their camera equipment and waited for work to get off work, and the two people walking in front talked while walking, just now, she had already said goodbye to the crew, but she still had a lot to say to him. "The most fashionable one is definitely not me. Wang Yang stroked his hair, knowing that he was making fun of Wong Kar-wai's sunglasses, remembering that Wong Kar-wai wore sunglasses when he ate, Natalie couldn't help but laugh and said, "NICE! Needless to say, she smiled, "Hey! ”
“OK。 Wang Yang thought about the desert island joke, thought for a while, looked at her face, and said: "This year's "Da Vinci Code" is very popular, and "Infernal Affairs" also involves religion, so we will have some sensitive content this time." Natalie nodded with interest, Wang Yang cleared her throat and whispered to her: "One day, a Chinese, a Jew, and a white man were stranded on a desert island because of a passenger liner wreck, and God allowed each of them to make a request. The white man said very reverently, "Dear God, I'm going home!" The Chinese casually said, "Whatever, I'm going home too." The Jews said......"
Seeing him pause, Natalie answered and asked, "What did you say?" Wang Yang glared and said, "You are a fake god, get out!" Natalie laughed loudly, the more she laughed, the louder she laughed, and couldn't help but punch him a few times in the shoulder, Wang Yang couldn't help but grin, shaking her head and laughing.
If there is a paparazzi around, they will definitely blow the shutter of the camera in their hand, although everyone now knows that the two are good brothers. Many staff members in the back have been accustomed to the intimacy of the two very early, such as the smiling Nancy, who has been like this from the set of "Juno", and has not come over calmly.
"What happened in the end?" Natalie finally stopped laughing, and Wang raised her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders: "I don't know, the open-ended ending, you can do whatever you like." Natalie nodded in approval, "Bright." She said seriously: "Young, again, I hope 'Juno' will appear again." She felt a little sentimental today, and obviously her aunt didn't come, so she spread her hands and said, "I just miss it very much." ”
It's no longer about romance, and Natalie really misses the crazy devotion that "Juno" brought her, when she almost split a personality, and when she was filming on set, she was inspired and passionate to act under his direction...... Those are really great.
"Definitely, I'm sure there will be a fifth, sixth desert island joke. Before Wang Yang's words fell, Natalie asked, "Isn't there a seven?" Wang Yang patted her head angrily, and said with a smile: "There will be, don't you know that you are my muse?" Natalie's eyebrows were raised high, and Wang Yang immediately added: "Don't get me wrong, Heath Ledger is also my muse." Natalie shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "What am I mishaving? ”
"Hey. Wang Yang looked at her with a frown, and said, "One day you will thank me on the Oscar stage," that guy said at the age of 14 that I could win the Oscar, thank you!' Don't offend me. Natalie laughed and gave him a middle finger, the first one the crew of The Dead received.
