At eight o'clock the next morning, Theorod came to the villa where he had been the previous night. Bennett seemed to want to be better on his first day on the job, so he came to the set early. When he saw Theorod, he immediately greeted him and told him that the director told him to go to the dressing room immediately. Theolod pushed open the door to the makeup room and saw Anthony discussing something with Tina, the makeup instructor.

Anthony spent a lot of energy trying to hide the charm of Theolod's face, and the styling team and the costume team discussed ten options and drew them for Anthony to see, but Anthony rejected most of the proposals, and in the end only two were left.

The last two, when practiced in Theorod, merge into one. Paul, the hairstylist, trimmed Theorrod's half-length blonde hair into a very old-fashioned mid-parting style, and he didn't cut Theorrod's hair too short when he thought that Ripley would have to disguise himself as Dickey afterwards. Makeup artist Antonio did a small contouring of Theorod's face, such as deliberately making his face and lips a little paler. Alfredo, the costume artist, had long prepared a loose suit for Theolod that did not fit, and it was evident from a few wrinkles on the cuffs and the threads at the buttons that the costume team had worked hard to make the outfit old but neat.

When Theolod put on his clumsy and wide black-rimmed glasses and looked at the person in the mirror, even he wasn't sure if it was himself.

"Oh my god, Tony, what did you do to Tina Theo?" Even Gwyneth began to "scream" for Theorod, "This look is really ......"

Thinking of the standard gentlemanly beautiful man last night, Gwyneth held back for a long time before she could say the following words - no way, Theorod at this time was too different from himself.

"Alas, I've done my best. Anthony sighed as if he wasn't good enough, "At first I thought that this hairstyle could reduce the attractiveness of any man by more than 70%, but it turned out to be ......."

He looked at Theorod and shook his head in frustration. He obviously has the ugliest hairstyle recognized in the world, is painted with a typical malnourished face, wears old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses that even an old man will not choose, Antonio even painted him with a faint dark circle, plus his thin body is wearing a wide and shabby dress, under normal circumstances, Anthony believes that even Tom Cruise can't withstand the smear of this look, but what about Theolod?

Yes, it did feel terrible at first glance, but the more Anthony looked at it, the more he felt that something was not quite right--why did this guy become more and more pleasing to the eye? Theorod's appearance did not even hide much of his own charm, but gave him a kind of weak ...... Morbid beauty, that's right, that's the word, sickly beauty! Even the disgusting middle-style hairstyle, in him, actually had a little more classical beauty, and although the black-framed glasses could cover his face a little, it could not hide the unpredictable charm and aura of the blue and green eyes behind it, making them even more amazing.

Hell, why does this guy get more and more interesting the more he looks at it?

Forget it, Dickey also said that Ripley's eyes look good when he takes off his glasses, and that Ripley can fool most people who are not familiar with him when he disguises himself as Dickey, indicating that Ripley still looks a little like Dickey and has a good face, but he is not used to dressing up...... Well, that's it.

Anthony could only comfort himself like this.

"Actually, I think Theo is pretty good now. Jude seemed to be afraid that Theolod would be hit, so he hurriedly smiled and hugged his shoulder, "'Withouttheglasses, you-renotevenugly.'"

He uttered Dickie's lines.

"Really?" Theorod took off his glasses and looked at him, then at Gwyneth.

"Look, it's much more handsome. Jude said.

"Maybe we'll have to change my hairstyle...... But it doesn't seem too bad now. Gwyneth nodded.

"What about putting on your glasses?" Theorod put them back on.

This time Jude looked at him for a while before he said to him very seriously: "It's not ugly, but it's not as good-looking as me." ”

"Oh, this is Dickey. Gwyneth smiled and gave Theorod a helpless look.

At ten o'clock, the first act of "The Genius Ripley" officially begins, the first act is set in the garden of Dickey Greenleaf's house, Ripley is a guest at Dickey's house for the first time, and his excellent imitation ability attracts Dickey's attention, but when he reveals his true intentions, Dickey has the idea of driving him away.

The first difficulty in playing Ripley in this play is imitation, and Ripley is good at imitation, whether it is voice, demeanor, or even action and posture. It's easy to write like this in novels and plays, but it's hard to really let people perform it, after all, a person always has his own characteristics, because he is different and not easy to be learned and imitated in order to be independent of others. Take a simple voice as an example, everyone's timbre and vocal range are different, each has its own characteristics, and if you want to imitate it, in addition to requiring long-term training, it is also inseparable from the similarity of timbre.

Ripley's parody of Dickey's father, Herbert Greenleaf, is the one who finances Ripley's arrival in Italy in an attempt to persuade his son to return home. When the other actors got together to read the script, Theorod was still on the set of "Fight Club" and couldn't spare time, so he didn't participate, but Anthony also sent him an audio tape afterwards, so that Theorod had some preparation for how to imitate Herbert Greenleaf's actor, James Reebhorn.

In fact, this is not the first time Theolod has met James Reebhorn, he has known him for a long time, but the other party may not know him. The first time he knew about this veteran actor was when he was tutoring Pacino's films, in Pacino's "Smell a Woman", Reebhorn played the principal in the play, a small supporting role, which impressed Theolod deeply, because he was not suppressed by Pacino's aura performance at all, but was able to calmly play with him in the suppression.

At that time, Theolod had looked for Reebhorn's works, and to his surprise, he obviously had the acting strength to play a leading role in the film for more than 40 years, and he starred in very few movies, most of the time he appeared as a supporting role.

Imitating the voice is one of the necessary skills of every excellent actor, Pacino once imitated Theorod's voice in "The Devil's Advocate", and was talked about by many people, and Theorod had to admit that he imitated very similarly, after all, it is the level of an actor. Of course, this is not too difficult for Theorod, and now that he knows a little about Rebhorn, he has obtained an audio tape of the other party reading the script, and it is even more difficult to learn. It's just that the difficulty is that Theorod's voice is too young, imitating the fifty-year-old Rebhorn, and he has to get rid of the crispness and delicacy in his voice.

Almost every night, Theolod listened to the voices of Reebhorn, Jude, and Philip Seymmerhoffman, whom he would imitate, imprinted their voices firmly in his brain, and then practiced in the mirror over and over again.

So, when Jude, who soon entered the state of a rich family, casually mentioned asking Ripley to imitate others according to the lines of the script, the first sentence that Theorod spat out made him stunned directly.

"My son's greatest skill is to spend money. ”

Ripley's usual voice is very bright and soft, so soft that it doesn't seem to have any temper, and this voice gives the first impression that this person is very friendly, but it is also too weak and deceitful, and has no personality of its own. But at this moment, the softness and clarity of this voice belonging to a teenager are gone.

The soft feathers turned into heavy steel in that moment, and every word carried a down-to-earth composure and a constant selection of sophistication, and only after countless years of grinding could the subtle hoarseness of the vocal cords, and the modulation of the tone, make the voice sound like it came from some old gentleman.

However, what shocked Jude even more was that he could still distinguish Reebhorn's voice despite the passage of time - it was almost exactly the same as Reebhorn's! If it weren't for the person in front of him who was Theorod, if it weren't for the face he saw, if it weren't for the pale lips he saw with his own eyes spitting out this sentence one by one, he would almost have thought that it came from the director's tape recorder playing in the dark!

At that moment, Jude only felt that goosebumps appeared one after another on his body, and a chill made his whole body tremble, and his back seemed to be crawled by thousands of ants, making him shrug his shoulders extremely uncomfortably. He even forgot to speak, and could only watch in a daze as a tired sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Theolod's mouth.

Just as Dickey's old father looked at his plaything and lost his mind and unlearned waste son, Theorrod, or Ripley, looked at him with a look that made Jude at a loss, obviously the other party was still wearing a white shirt that was wide enough to let the sleeves into the wind, and it was clear that the other party still had that rigid middle part of the hair, but he suddenly felt that the person standing in front of him was his old father.

This invisible aura directly made Jude forget about the play, and he thought, maybe this is what others say, the phenomenon of "Theorod's aura circle". When he enters the play and starts to perform, he seems to be the center and focus of the entire set, and if the other people who play with him are not careful, they will be suppressed by the invisible aura and domineering acting strength and unable to play normally or be led by the nose.

Then, he heard Anthony shout "CUT" loudly.

"Jude, pay attention next time. Anthony didn't blame Jude too much, after all, the moment Theorod spoke, even he was stunned for a second or two, not to mention the staff who were whispering on the side. He calmly patted Jude on the shoulder and motioned for him not to be in a daze next time, and said to Theorod by the way, "Well done." ”

Well, I don't know if it's Jude's delusion, why does he always feel that Anthony's words and actions are ...... A little bit of schadenfreude? He stepped forward with a strange look in his eyes and looked at Theorod: "How the hell did you do that, to make your voice like that?"

"Oh, it's nothing, as long as you listen to the original once a day and try to imitate it, you can do it. ”

...... "Only by believing in you can you have ghosts." Jude didn't believe Theorod's words, he directly touched Theorod's clothes pocket up and down, but found nothing, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "So you really didn't secretly hide the player or anything like that?"

He looked at Theorod, and saw him staring at him with a helpless expression, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and said with a joking tone: "What, don't be shy, you are a man, I am also a man, what are you afraid of two big men?"

"......" This time, it was Theorod's turn to be speechless. Sure enough, no matter which world it is, British men will have their own gay attributes.

Moments later, the two began a second shoot. This time, Jude didn't freeze in place, but Anthony still thought Dickie's reaction was too stiff and unnatural, so he came a third, then a fourth, and a fifth......

Sure enough, before the movie is finished, you must not offend the director.
