"I think so, do what you want. Leila handed him the sketch back, "Just keep in mind that we're making a movie." ”

Rob nodded excitedly: "I know, then I'll do it first." ”

Leila smiled and watched him leave, then turned over the script that she didn't know how many times she had read. Even the real best director nominee uncle has worked so hard, what reason does she have to relax herself?

In "Chicago", there are several passages that she thinks are classic, such as the part where the female inmates in the prison tell the reason why they are in prison, and the part where the lawyer manipulates the puppet-like heroine, and the part where he wants to reveal the content in the same puppet-like reporter's question, etc., are very exciting.

A classic movie doesn't need every sentence and every shot to be a classic, and sometimes just one paragraph of a classic is enough to make the whole film a classic.

So Leila wanted to do her best to shoot the classic passages in a more classic way, so as to paint the whole movie with a gold paint called "classic".

Fortunately, Rob really caught the essence of the point after her click a few days ago, and the shooting gradually became smoother.

What Leila is going to shoot today is the puppet scene that she likes very much.

In this paragraph, the heroine is a puppet in the hands of the lawyer, and her every move, word and deed is controlled by the lawyer. This is not easy to play, first of all, Renee has to be completely like a puppet, and without the hand that Roy put behind her back, she has to act like a doll thrown on the ground.

What is a puppet? It can't have feelings, it can't have superfluous movements. But at the same time, in order to show that she is indeed a living puppet, she can't play too much. If you want to grasp the key to it, it is difficult without hard training.

"CUT!" Layla called a timeout, calling Renee over.

"What's wrong, Director Moran?" Renee walked over suspiciously, she thought that she should have performed well in the part just now, how could she still NG?

Leila asked her to show her the footage she had just taken, and her voice was faint: "For the performance above, you can get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress." ”

Renee's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, this should be a compliment, right? But why doesn't it feel happy at all when it comes out of the director's mouth?

She didn't know how to respond to Lyra's words, so she could only stand there a little embarrassed and watch her performance on the small screen. What the hell is wrong? It's a real doll, isn't it?

Just as she was thinking about the meaning of what the director said to her, she heard the indifferent voice ask her a question.

"Is a nomination enough to satisfy you?"

Will Renee be content with the nomination?

If it is an actor who has not been nominated, an Oscar nomination is enough for her to be gratified, after all, it is a few candidates selected from thousands of movies, and the gold content is very large.

But she is different, she once got a nomination for "BJ's Single Diary", and another nomination is not so important to her. What she wants more is an Oscar trophy for Best Actress! Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned down so many film contracts and worked hard for months to join the crew. It's to see that this movie has the hope that she can get the little golden man!

"Director Moran, I'm not satisfied! please tell me what to do!"

At this time, she is not a delicate character in the movie, but a real actor. If she can be promoted, no matter how hard she works, she won't have any complaints!

Her attitude made Leila very satisfied, and if she hadn't expected more of her performance, she wouldn't have called her over.

"You're a doll now, yes, it's a pretty pretty doll. She made a little joke to ease the suffocating atmosphere, and after seeing her laugh a little, she continued: "I think you played it well, your joints do look like you're being controlled." But don't forget, just because you just have to act like a doll, it doesn't mean you're really a doll. You have to show yourself as a human being in this scene. ”

Like a doll but not a doll? Renee didn't quite understand her words: "So what can I do to be like a doll and behave like a human at the same time?"

Leila pointed to her eyes, "Lean on this." ”

"Eyes?" Renee didn't understand.

"That's right, it's the eyes. Leila pointed to Renee on the small screen, "Look at your performance, what are your eyes doing? Do your eyes really reveal your heart, and what do you think of the heroine's mood in this scene?"

Renee thought for a moment, "The lawyer was controlling her to say what he wanted her to say, and she lost herself and could only repeat his words like a voice worm. ”

"Do you really think she's willing to do that from the bottom of her heart?"

Renee pondered. In the play, the woman did make a few small actions that violated the lawyer's instructions, but was quickly made up for by the lawyer. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that the heroine has her own mood and way of thinking, and is not a real puppet?

"I seem to understand a little bit. She looked thoughtfully at what she had just looked.

Leila smiled slightly: "That's good, you use your eyes more and look at where when and where." You can't speak freely, but your eyes can. Let the audience know through your eyes that you are not a real puppet. ”

"Okay, I'll try!" Renee nodded solemnly.

In order to make her think better, Leila gave her a half-hour break and then resumed the filming of this scene.

Renee needs to sit on Roy's lap all the time in this scene, and he controls the movements that only controlled puppets do. This time she added some eye movements, and the dark eyeballs swirled in the whites of the eyes, which seemed to have a lot of aura.

After a shoot, she hurriedly ran to Lyla's side to see the effect. It doesn't matter if you look at it, even she, a layman, can see that the effect is indeed better than just now.

"Thank you, Director Moran!" she thanked her with some emotion. Just based on that performance just now, she felt that she could win an Oscar trophy.

Leila smiled and accepted her thanks. Therefore, she likes to be a director, and it is certainly fun to make a good-looking movie, but when the actors under her command break through themselves and show their talents under her tips, there will be an indescribable sense of achievement.

She believes that after this time, Renee has learned valuable lessons even if she can't win the Oscar for this movie, and believes that she can lay a solid foundation for the future statuette.
