Soon it was the first meeting between Leon and Matilda, and Yang Yang rehearsed this scene with a little girl named Martha during the audition, but Martha did not satisfy Yang Yang.

"Hey, Walter, come over here.." Yang Yang greeted Walter.

"What's the matter? Yang." Walter has been more idle lately, except for hooking up with the beautiful girls in the crew, just hanging around with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yang Yang stretched out his hand: "Come, give me a cigarette.."

"Yang, I didn't expect you to smoke.." Walter laughed and said, "I always thought you were a.."

"What is it?" Yang Yang looked at him.

Walter shut up, "Nothing, nothing?"

Yang Yang lit a cigarette and took a puff, and replied casually: "I don't smoke, I just don't want to ruin my throat."

"Throat?" Walter wondered, "I've been smoking since I was thirteen, but my voice has always been like this. Oh no, I should say sexier.."

As he spoke, Walter coughed violently twice and spat on the ground.

Yang Yang laughed speechlessly, and then handed the cigarette in his hand to Grace, "Take it, Grace, this is your prop."

In this paragraph, Matilda secretly hides outside the door and smokes, of course, she needs to have a cigarette as a prop.

Grace's current image has changed greatly, and Yang Yang instructed the stylist to redesign her.

Grace's long, chestnut hair was cut short, almost to the chin, neatly clean.

This hairstyle makes Grace's little face delicate and good-looking, and his cold temperament is also slightly softened.

Then pair it with fancy knits and puffed jackets, as well as colorful stockings and big-toed cowhide boots.

Grace has become an unruly girl with a strong punk style, which is very memorable at first glance.

Grace was not satisfied with her current look at first, but she slowly got used to the needs of filming, in fact, Yang Yang also felt that the way she chewed gum was more compatible with her current look.

As one of the important scenes in the film, Leon and Matilda's home is located in a hotel in Manhattan, which is an old hotel for some years, but it is well maintained, especially the beautiful fence, which Yang Yang particularly likes.

The owner of the inn was reluctant to lend it to the crew for filming at first, because he had heard that there was a shootout scene in it, and it might need to break a lot of things.

But later, he agreed again, and Yang Yang tried to persuade him to use money.

He bought the hotel for a full two million dollars.

This time, the entire crew knows how rich their director is. In order to shoot a scene, he spent two million, or US dollars.

It's really rich and capricious.

Thomas, in particular, is full of resentment, and his and Grace's combined salaries are only a quarter of them.

In fact, the reason why Yang Yang bought it was because this hotel really fit the scene in his heart, and secondly, it was a business that would not suffer a loss no matter how it was calculated.

In downtown Manhattan, where land is at a premium, the hotel itself is worth more than $2 million.

The innkeeper was so willing to sell it to Yang Yang because his son was going to study abroad and needed a lot of money urgently, and Yang Yang also said that before he died, the hotel could continue to be run by him, and only a small part of the rent per year would be fine.

Both sides of the deal are satisfied.

Yang Yang, who was wearing a black coat, walked up the stairs, Grace carefully hid the cigarette, and then tried to make a pose that only a mature woman would make, and shouted in a slightly lazy and provocative voice: "Hi~"

This kind of little girl pretends to be mature, but she can make a different kind of appearance, and I am afraid that only the precocious Grace can make it.

If it were replaced by the Martha that Yang Yang interviewed at the beginning, I am afraid that NG would not be able to meet Yang Yang's psychological expectations a hundred times or a thousand times.

This is the result of different experiences, and of course, it is also a rare talent.

Matilda has always been interested in Leon's handsome but eccentric neighbor, and in the lonely Leon, she feels a kind of kind.

Leon is taciturn and a loner, and although Matilda has parents and siblings, no one cares about her, and she has been neglected in the family.

That's why she was rebellious and precocious, and she became interested in Leon, and even secretly observed his habits all the time.

She knew that Leon went out early every day, with a suitcase, and would only come back in the evening, that he had a potted plant, that he loved his potted plants, and that Leon liked to drink milk, pure milk...

It was only to this day that she finally mustered up the courage to greet him with a gesture that she felt best, although it was actually ridiculously naïve in Leon's eyes.

This scene was only filmed twice, and Yang Yang was very satisfied.

Perhaps because Grace's own experience is very similar to Matilda in some ways, she is especially able to grasp Matilda's psychology, as if she is Matilda.

The shoot went unexpectedly well.

Then it was time for Thomas, a down-and-out private detective and rookie actor who was participating in a serious movie shoot for the first time, and the shooting cost was still more than 10 million dollars, he was obviously so excited and excited that he took a good shower before going out today, changed into a beautiful suit, and combed his hair meticulously.

The new Thomas is still a little handsome, he appeared in the crew in high spirits, and several beauties threw him flattering eyes.

Just as Thomas was about to make a big move, Yang Yang's brows furrowed.

"Thomas, you shaved off your beard." Yang Yang looked left and right, carefully examining Thomas's face, "My God, you even washed your hair.."

Thomas was confused by Yang Yang's disappointed and dissatisfied expression, and he nodded stunned: "Yes, director, is there anything wrong with this?"

Yang Yang shook his head helplessly and said, "Have you read the script well when you go back?.."

"Norman!" Yang Yang patiently explained to Thomas, "He is a neurotic policeman with a slight mania, to put it bluntly, he is a madman, unruly and unkempt is what he should be... I fancy you because I think your image and temperament are somewhat similar to him... Now you're so handsome, how can you play Norman?"

Thomas's face was a little strange, Yang Yang was praising him or scolding him? Saying that his temperament was similar to Norman's, didn't he mean that he was also a madman in Yang Yang's eyes? Or was he a sloppy madman? Oh, hell.

However, Thomas's future was in Yang Yang's hands, and he hurriedly said, "I understand."

Yang Yang frowned: "The hair is okay, but this scum... The makeup is too fake, or your original look natural.."

Thomas hurriedly spoke: "Director, don't worry, my beard grows fast, and it will take two days at most to achieve the effect you want."

Well, Yang Yang could only wave his hand helplessly and announce the start of filming.
