Chapter 525: Negotiation

Laura also starred in this scene in previous filming, and Donald's performance at that time was still good, but he didn't have the feeling of passion at this time.

It's not that Donald hasn't been ignited with passion, to be precise, it's that Laura isn't even qualified to be a prop.

The focus of the camera is on Donald, whose infectious rant keeps everyone's attention firmly on him, but Cesare notices the tied up Jancer.

She hung Weiya and hung in mid-air, which should be uncomfortable, Laura also filmed this scene, unlike Jiang Se, when Laura was filming, she didn't stop acting until she was about to be burned.

Cesare was still very impressed by the filming of that scene, and Cesare still remembered how Laura's expression and body language were performed.

When she was filming, Jiang Se was also on the set, and she rested on the set after acting in a scene at that time.

When Laura filmed this scene, it didn't go very well, she was scolded and cried by Cesare several times, and Jiang Se also observed it on the scene in the later stage, and watched Laura shoot several times before passing.

Cesare originally thought that Gance had seen the filming of this scene and saw Laura pass after being scolded and cried by him, and should be enlightened from it, and in the same scene and scene today, she should unconsciously imitate Laura's last passing performance in order to win Cesare's favor.

However, she took a completely different approach to Laura, who filmed with a sad expression and instinctively tense and struggled, showing Lannie's panic and worry, as well as the fear of death.

On the contrary, Jiang Se did not learn from her, but hung vertically in mid-air, putting himself extremely loose.

Cesare noticed that her expression was panicked and uneasy at first, but as Donald's lines were pronounced, Jiang Se quickly calmed down like a pacified young beast.

What impressed Cesare the most was that her gaze never fell on the ensemble below, like Laura, but on Donald, and every time he shouted a line, her expression was like that of a crowd of onlookers, with some adoration and full trust, her eyes were shining, her cheeks were red, as if she had found a spiritual home, beyond the pain of the flesh.

It can be seen that in her heart, her understanding of the role of Lannie is completely different from Laura's.

In this scene, Jiang Se behaves completely differently from Laura, she is more like a listener to Andrei, not in a hurry to show herself, like Andrei's most loyal believer.

On the set, in addition to playing the group performances of the congregants and civilians, which brought out Andre at this time, Jiang Se's performance undoubtedly made Andre's image more distinct.

At this moment, Jiang Se's performance may not be as eye-catching as Laura's performance in the eyes of many people, but Cesare had to admit that Jiang Se was much smarter than Laura, and he used different performance methods, which made him even more impressive.

She clearly knows when to express herself and when to be a qualified 'supporting role'.

In the original book, the author did not describe the performance of the character Lannie at this time, but focused on Andre to describe it, writing that he endured the curse, deceived the public, and wrote that he hid his ambition in the skin of justice and gentleness.

Although she ended up being sacrificed like Shireen, Lannie was different from Shireen in that she was coaxed by AndrΓ© into stepping on the altar of her own volition.

When the town fell, it was Andre who saved her, stretched out a hand to her, pulled her out of the desperate situation, and made her have a strange worship and dependence on Andre in her heart, she believed Andrei's words wholeheartedly, and even agreed to sacrifice without complaint, including him making himself a sacrifice.

Therefore, when she learned that Andre had deceived her, her soul would fall and become the most demonic and unable to redeem herself.

Compared to Laura's performance, Jiang Se was much smarter than her, and Cesare looked at the girl in the camera who showed his fanatical admiration, took a deep breath, and frowned.

The assistant's mobile phone vibrated and rang, a fire had begun to light under the altar, the girl in the camera had no lines at this time, she was still playing Laura's stand-in, but she was using body language to try to show the attachment and reluctance of 'Lannie' to Andre and the world.

This complex emotion of her instinctive closeness to Andre and her desire for life is far deeper than Laura's level of fear.

The extremely deep understanding of the script has become a great advantage for Jiang Se at this time, and her current performance in just a few minutes is far better than Laura.

A good actor should not be distinguished by nationality, age and the number of awards he has won, Laura may be an actor with superb acting skills, but the same scene, after being performed by different people, immediately came to an opinion.

Laura's loss was not only due to her cowardice in refusing to play, but also because she had such and such an accident during the previous filming and lost Cesare's favor and support.

One takes this as a job, and the other goes all out and works hard.

"Mr. Cesare......" The assistant whispered to the side, and Cesare waved his hand to signal him not to speak.

In the distance, Jack was watching the scene with some anxiety, and Cesare was already signaling the pyrotechnician to prepare for the fire.

"A call from Mr. Borgia and he said he had something important to tell you. ”

Cesare looked at the camera intently, with a serious expression:

"Don't interrupt the shooting, tell Carlo that I'll call him back personally after this scene is done. He paused for a while before taking his eyes off the two leading actors on the set at this time:

"I have an important decision to tell him. ”

The fire on the set had been lit, and Donald sped up the lines in his mouth.

At this time, Jiang Se's feet were already on fire, and several stuntmen next to her, who were also hanging, tried their best to show the feeling of struggle and pain, she was docile and motionless, maintaining the direction of looking at Andre, as Andre chanted the incantation, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, and subconsciously opened her eyes wide, and her face showed a look of horror.

As if she had heard some incredible sound, her body began to tremble violently, her expression was a little confused at first, and then she shook her head in disbelief.

Jiang Se didn't make a sound in this scene, purely expressing her inner feelings with a subtle change in expression, and she heard the content of Andrei's incantation, her expression distorted, with anger.

The flames engulfed her, her face distorted in the light, and the next moment Cesare raised his hand, and as the scene ended, the fire extinguisher sprayed powder, enveloping her whole body in smoke and powder.

"Very good. ”

Jiang Se was still coughing, and after the crew put out the fire, someone lowered the height of Weiya first, and someone below opened their arms to catch her, so that she could land safely.

"Are you okay?"

Someone asked, Jiang Se closed his eyes and nodded.

She is still very embarrassed on the outside, but the filming of this scene is much easier than when she played Shireen before when she was sacrificed, and the thorough preparation made her shoot smoothly as long as she restrained her fear of flames during filming.

Donald's assistant took his coat and put it on for him, and before he went down the steps, he turned his head to look at Jiang Se, who was still coughing, but her face was flushed because of the firefighting powder around her.

Her agent covered her mouth and nose with a prepared wet handkerchief to prevent her from inhaling more smoke.

After untying her body, she had to go back to the backstage to remove the restraints from her body.

Donald stood for a moment, then walked over to Cesare, who knew what had happened before.

In front of the camera, Donald held a cup of hot water and watched his performance, he did not miss Jiang Se behind him, nor did he miss the expression on her face at that time, and saw her subtle movements.

"What do you think?"

Cesare asked him, and he paused for a moment before nodding his head and answering softly:

"Good. ”

He has performed the same scene twice, so he can naturally feel which one is better.

The cooperation of Donald and Laura, the two of them have their own charms, as if they are not admitting defeat separately, trying to win the audience's attention, and setting off this fragment of the scene, which should be a climactic point in the play, is mediocre, but it can't find a bright spot.

In the cooperation with Jiang Se, because of Jiang Se's performance, Donald's performance has become the absolute protagonist in this plot, making the plot more eye-catching.

"She's very smart. ”

Donald smiled, took a sip of hot water, exorcised the chill in his body, and smiled:

"It's also good at seizing opportunities and convincing you. ”

Jiang Se's concession in the camera at this time is much smarter than Laura's expressiveness, assuming that one day, this scene is presented in front of the audience at the same time, Laura's fear and uneasiness are clearly expressed, and the audience will have a certain degree of psychological acceptance of the next plot when watching this scene.

On the contrary, in addition to enhancing Donald's charm in the performance and becoming his 'foil to ambition', her ignorance and simplicity will make the audience feel their hearts tugged at her.

The two ways of performance also grasp the psychology of the audience differently.

So in this special 'audition', Jiang Se has completely crushed Laura.

Cesare sighed, agreeing with him, "If I hadn't seen this audition, wouldn't it be a lot less trouble?"

He muttered to himself, and Donald put down the cup and pulled his clothes:

"I think so, but my friend, I think you may feel very sorry that you missed out on the real Lannie in your heart. ”

When Cesare heard this, he was overjoyed, and he nodded:

"Yes, although I would feel very troubled when I saw this scene, it would be a pity if I didn't see it. ”

The weight of "The Prisoner" is different in his heart, just the adaptation and conception, he spent many years to complete, and every character in it is eager to choose the most suitable characters as much as possible.

Cesare's phone vibrated again, and his assistant held it in his hand, looking helpless.

This time, Cesare didn't refuse to answer the phone again, he took his phone and glanced at Donald, the man with the fire extinguisher powder on his head and the puffer jacket still holding a water glass, looking at the footage he had taken earlier.

"Convince Carlo, with you on board, I want it to go a lot easier. ”

After he said this, he thought that it would take some effort to drag Donald into the water, but before Cesare could say anything superfluous, Donald nodded:

"Yes. ”

Cesare grinned as he held his phone.

Fortunately, the filming time of the movie was not long, and because Laura caught a cold in the middle of the filming, in fact, there were not many scenes about her filming.

If you want to change the starring role temporarily, the only trouble is just some scenes about Shirin.

This role needs to be played again, and it should be too late in time.

Winter in Modena is already over, as long as the scene is finished first, and after finding someone, this scene will be re-filmed next year.

It may cost extra money, but Cesare, after watching Jance's performance, felt that it was all worth it.

Convincing the investors did not go very well, as Carlo Borgia flew to Modena the next day after receiving Cesare's phone call.

The person in charge of the investor has a serious expression, accompanied by people from the roundabout, "God's Redemption" has been suspended, the total investment budget of this drama is more than 200 million US dollars, the reason why the film company used Laura Brown is not only because of her agency's strong connections and her outstanding acting skills, but also because of her popularity in Hollywood.

The investor invests a large amount of money and has to consider the return of subsequent funds.

Although Jiang Se is famous in China, he is not very well-known in Europe and the United States, and after the movie is released, in addition to Cesare's name supporting "God's Redemption", she also needs the fame of the male and female protagonists to stabilize the box office, which is her biggest weakness compared to Laura Brown.

The film market in Europe and the United States is different from that of China, and the income of the film does not depend entirely on the box office, as well as the follow-up on-demand, peripheral and TV station broadcast rights, and the production and sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, all of which need to rely on the appeal of the main actors and directors, as well as the charm of the film itself.

At present, the film is being filmed, and the investor is not clear what the effect will be after filming, and Cesare wants to change the heroine temporarily, which brings immeasurable risks.

The investor expressed dissatisfaction with Cesare's request, but unexpectedly, it was the actor Donald who chose to side with Cesare, believing that Giance was more suitable for the heroine in the play.

After the special 'audition' of the day, although Cesare did not make a clear statement, the crew suspended filming and alarmed the investors, which is already a good result.

Jiang Se stayed at the hotel to wait for news, and at the same time was in contact with the country.

Huaying has already contacted Borgia and Huandao Company, and Nie Dan sent a message to Jiang Se, signaling her not to panic, after they negotiate with these two companies, it is very likely that they will fly abroad, and they will try their best to keep the opportunity that Jiang Se has won.
