Chapter 16: Stunner
"How's that? What do you think of my story? Pen %Fun %www.biquge.info "Sid clapped his hands, interrupting the smoky girl Sarah and the old man Collins who were still immersed in the horror of the story of "Ghost Record".
"Well, really, it's ......" Collins stammered to say a complete sentence, but he noticed that his hands were trembling slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm out for a cigarette." With that, Collins stood up and walked straight out of the dining room, the morning sun shining on him, but it could not drive away the fear in his heart.
Collins didn't expect that just listening to a ghost story would have such a big effect, he stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, but his trembling fingers repeatedly failed to light the lighter.
"Use mine. A man next to him said, it was Jeremy, and he walked out, and he lit a cigarette for Collins, and then lit a cigarette for himself, and his hands were shaking slightly.
"Do you know what the script is about?" Collins asked.
"I don't know. Jeremy shook his head, "I've only heard Sid talk about the design concept of this film, and today is the first time I've heard the story. Awesome, no, awesome, too awesome, kid. ”
"I didn't believe in genius before, but today I do. Collins said with trepidation, "To be able to write this kind of story, this kid's future is limitless." ”
"Hehe, yes. Jeremy also nodded with affection, "It seems that I asked you to participate in this movie, it's not a cheat." ”
"Hehe, that's your shit luck. Not to be outdone, Collins laughed, "At this time, there should be a big beautiful woman to give us a good eye, so as to balance the 'injury' we received from Sid just now." ”
Jeremy was about to reply, but noticed something eye-catching in his sight, and Collins soon noticed that Jeremy was not looking right.
"What's wrong?" Collins looked at Jeremy, and he couldn't help but breathe and his eyes lit up.
It turned out that from the direction Jeremy was facing, a plump and sexy, extremely hot blonde was walking up. She wasn't that tall, and her face wasn't that delicate.
But her skinny jeans made her legs straight and shapely. As for her figure, she is even more plump and hot, especially the pair of peaks in front of the murder, swaying up and down rhythmically with her pace, dazzling people's eyes.
The men who passed by looked at her involuntarily, and Jeremy swore that there were a few stupid X's staring heads into the telephone pole, smiling intoxicated as they fell.
After the blonde passed the two, she pushed the door and walked into the restaurant.
The old man, Collins, withdrew his gaze and turned to Jeremy with a smile that all men understand: "WhataBeauty!" )”
Jeremy said with a smile: "Collins, didn't you say that after you divorced your wife, you were not interested in all feelings?"
"I'm appreciating, you know, pure appreciation. Collins coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Jeremy looked through the glass window into the dining room and immediately noticed the astonishing fact that the blonde walked into the dining room, instead of sitting at an empty table, she walked towards a table with people after looking around.
And that table happened to be the one they had a meeting with Sid.
"Collins, if it goes well, maybe we'll be able to appreciate it for a long time. Jeremy said suddenly.
"Ah, what are you talking about?" asked the old man, Monk Collins, confused.
――――――――――――――――――――
By the time Jeremy and Collins returned to the restaurant, Sid and the new blonde had already started chatting happily.
"Oh, oh, this beautiful lady turned out to be Sarah, your friend. The old man Collins looked enthusiastically surprised.
"Go, go, you old pervert, stay away from Amy. Smoke girl Sarah said with a look of disgust.
"Sarah, it's not good for you to talk to the old man like that. The blonde said quickly.
"Yes, yes, young people nowadays don't know how to respect the elderly. Collins leaned on the old ass and sat down next to the blonde and stretched out his hand, "Hello, beautiful lady, I'm Collins." ”
"Hello, my name is Amy Adams, and I'm a friend of Sarah. Blonde, no, Amy smiled and shook Collins' hand.
"Alright, you old man, let go, don't eat Amy's tofu anymore!" Smoke girl Sarah slapped Collins' paw off.
"Hello, I'm Jeremy Renner and I'm a real estate agent. "It's always nice to meet beautiful women, Jeremy introduced himself with a smile.
"Oh, hello, I'm Amy. I've been a ballet dancer, I'm performing at the Dinner Theater in Denver, and I'm here for Sarah, who came to Los Angeles this time. Amy Adams's sweet smile has an exotic touch of the Mediterranean, and the more you look at it, the sweeter and more beautiful it becomes.
Even Jeremy, who has always been calm, can't resist her charm offensive.
Sid laughed silently on the side, but he didn't expect to pick up a treasure!
If you want to talk about the two major Oscar models in later generations, there is no doubt that Xiao Lizi (Leonardo) in the actor industry and Amy Adams in the actress circle.
Eight years and five nominations, in terms of nomination posture, she is not inferior to the old drama bone Aunt Mei (Meryl Streep), but every time she always meets a better opponent, it causes her tragic encounter.
But her layered performances, delicate and real style, and ability to control a variety of roles are indeed rare. Coupled with the ability to play a clown in comedy and a tragic role in a drama, Amy Adams is a rare potential acting talent.
"Amy, like I said, what do you think of the synopsis?" Sid clapped his hands, bringing the subject back to the point.
"Well, that's amazing!" Amy looked at Sid with sparkling eyes...... 's script, said excitedly.
"Yes, yes. Sid interrupted Amy's excitement with a wave of his hand, "Then are you confident to put on a show?"
"Now?" said Amy Adams.
"Yes, now. Sid said with a smile.
"Hmm......" Amy closed her eyes and cleared her mind, "Well, can you please help simulate the footsteps, I can find a feeling." ”
"Okay, let's get started, you just tell me. Sid nodded.
Amy gestured, and Sid slammed his foot on the floor with a snap, and footsteps slowly emerged. Amy frowned, her eyes twitched a few times, and then she opened them in a daze.
Then she heard the sound of "outside the door", a look of fear crept up her cheek, and she looked down with some fear and curiosity.
As Sid's footsteps became clearer and clearer, Amy's body began to tremble slightly, and she said with a frightened expression, her lips trembled, "Yes...... Who is it!", at the same time, her hand was shaking the "air boyfriend" beside her, and her eyes kept moving between the door and her boyfriend.
"Wonderful!" Sid's eyes lit up, and he had to say that although the performance was short, Amy's grasp of micro-expressions was excellent, and her body and verbal performance were coordinated. is worthy of being a model worker, and her potential and foundation are indeed good.
"That's it! this is the show I want!" Sid applauded.
"Whew~~~" After a few long breaths and a deep breath, Amy, who was slowly calming down, heard Sid's words and jumped up happily: "Then did I pass?"
"You're OK. Sid smiled and nodded.
"Whew~" Amy suddenly softened and sat down on the sofa.
After all the auditions were over, Sid assigned them the corresponding roles according to their characteristics. Jeremy Renner - the male protagonist Mika, the smoky girl Sarah - the heroine's friend, the old man Collins - the psychic, and Amy Adams - the female protagonist Katie.
As for the filming location, it was set in Sid's newly rented two-story house in Pasadeno, which was a cheap and good place that Jeremy specifically helped Sid find. Although the monthly rent is only $2,000, it comes with a swimming pool and backyard.
After decorating the house, the excited crowd immediately began filming "Ghost Record".
――――――――――――――――――――
“Cut!”
"Amy, you're going to have to show that you're in a state of distraction. Sid took Jeremy's DV camera and said to Amy Adams seriously.
Today is the third day of filming.
When a movie is generally shot, it should be in the order of the scenes, not the storyline. The same scene, maybe the beginning and end of the story are here, sometimes the hero and heroine just broke up after filming, and they have to get married immediately.
Although this tests the level of the director and the acting skills of the actors, it is absolutely time-saving, money-saving and labor-saving in production.
But because "ParanormalActivity" was all filmed at Sid's home, in order to make Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, who were making movies for the first time, feel better, Sid simply arranged them in the order of the story.
The scene filmed today is that the heroine "Katie" suddenly got up in the middle of the night after a few nights of supernatural commotion ~ disturbance, as if sleepwalking, first stood by the bed, and then walked to the open door, gently banged the door with her head, and the noise woke up the male protagonist "Mika" and startled him.
Amy now got up from the bed, stood beside the bed, and walked to the door with the same movement as she usually got up, a far cry from Sid's request.
"Now is the first time you have been possessed by a demon, so you are in a state of sleepwalking, and there must be a significant difference between you and when you are awake, you can't move too fast, and you have to walk with a feeling of 'floating'. Sid explained, "The most important thing is the word 'Gone with the Wind'. ”
"Well, I'll try again. Amy lay back on the bed, then stood up gently, then turned and got out of bed, the whole movement was quite light.
"Well, that's good. Sid nodded, "It's a lot better, but you have to move your body first, and then turn your head, so that the whole movement has a touch of weirdness." Because ordinary people first use their eyes to observe, and then use their bodies to act. You're going to do it the other way around!"
Amy Adams nodded and lay down.
