58. Chapter 58

Elisa was to play the role of Piaf when she was twenty years old until she died at the age of forty-seven.

The make-up artist was helping her adjust the makeup she would use in the future according to the shape of her face, and she read the script while accommodating her cavity.

Edith. Piaf's life can be called legendary. Her humble beginnings could not hide her innate elegance and graceful voice, and through the eyes of nightclub owner Louis Leppley, Piaf grew up gradually shedding the rustic atmosphere of country girls and the cheesiness of the market class, and finally turned into one of the brightest stars in New York.

And her story on and off stage has been sung endlessly for decades, which shows Edith's personal charm.

In addition to her musical talents, Edith Piaf's personal life has been talked about for many years, and her thrilling love stories have added to the legend of the chanson diva. However, the dazzling life and extraordinary emotional experiences made Piaf enjoy the glory while also experiencing unimaginable exhaustion, and the generation of diva nicknamed "Little Skylark" finally ended the legendary forty-seven years of life in a tragic way.

Playing such a legendary figure is a real challenge for Elisa.

A biographical movie like this, especially the original one, is particularly charming, and if you don't play this character well, it will undoubtedly attract a lot of scolding.

So before filming begins, and even without Olivia reminding her, Elisa will naturally get ready.

She didn't want to shoot herself in the foot.

Except for Elisa, a foreign actor, the rest of the actors are all French.

The circle is always on top, and even if they don't say it, Elisa can feel that their attitude towards herself is not very natural.

However, this kind of thing is also human nature, and she can only hold the expectation of seeing people's hearts for a long time, after all, in a crew, it is not pleasant to be isolated.

"La Vie en Rose" was not just filmed in France, but in addition to France, they also went to the United Kingdom.

In order to save costs, Olivia can't wait to finish filming the scenes in France at once.

So Elisa, who had been idle for a while, was busy again.

Elisa's first scene is the scene where she is recognized by the nightclub owner Louis Le Pulley and asked her to sing on stage.

The scene was almost set up, the camera was around them, and with the director Olivia's "start", they began to dive into the shooting.

"Add." Louis Leppley called out to her, and Eddie couldn't understand the love in his eyes.

Playing against this French national treasure actor is obviously not a good errand, and even after rehearsing in the space for a long time, she can only barely stabilize herself from being taken away by him.

The difference in acting skills brought about by age is well reflected at this moment.

No matter how much Elisa relied on space, there were always things that space couldn't bring her.

"What's wrong?" She opened her eyes, looked up at the closed ones, and said outside.

From her slightly trembling voice, you could tell that she was very scared.

"You still have a chance." He comforted the young girl: "Just sing as we practiced." ”

Louis Leppley's tone was soothing, he didn't want Eddie to feel too much pressure.

But the fear in her heart was completely exposed from her closed eyes.

Her long eyelashes quivered, and tears filled her cheeks.

"You can't have stage fright." There was a hint of education in his words, and then Louis Leppley reluctantly asked her to open the door.

The image of a man is vividly performed by the actor, who plays the role of Louis Leppley's GΓ©rald. Depardieu is a national treasure.

She bit her lip, her expression tangled, her glass-beaded eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.

"No, I'm afraid."

His voice was steady: "Please open the door." ”

"Stand up." He made a gesture.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the filming of the first act ended smoothly, Elisa was still not very satisfied with her appearance.

Because she can feel that her acting skills have not been completely released, to be more precise, she is a little suppressed.

But Gerald. Depardieu, the old gentleman, said to Elisa.

"You're doing a great job."

Although Elisa was not satisfied with her appearance, she could only accept the compliments from the old-timers.

Although it seems to be a bit cheap and obedient to say this, Elisa is really starting to face up to the problem of her acting skills.

Whether it is "Hard Fruit Candy" or "007", or "Atonement", the director seems to be very satisfied with her expression.

Indeed, among the new generation of young actors, she can be regarded as a standout.

However, Elisa knew in her heart that this was not enough.

If she wants to do it, she has to do it well!

used to be a supporting actress, so all of a sudden switch to the protagonist mode, judging from the previous acting skills, it is obviously a bit insufficient.

Fortunately, Gerald. Depardieu cares very much about his juniors, no matter who he is, he will be very enthusiastic about teaching them if they ask him questions.

So Elisa is also cheeky and goes to this old-timer for advice from time to time.

The system space is good, but in some aspects, it is still not as good as the experience precipitation in life.

This is at the point of Elisa to Gerald. After Depardieu consulted him, he realized it a little.

And after she realized this, her attitude of asking questions became more and more sincere and frequent.

The heroine is studious and powerful, which is undoubtedly a situation that the director is happy to see.

And seeing that Elisa is so diligent, some people who think that popular Hollywood stars will throw off big names have gradually let go of their prejudices in their hearts.

Gerald. Depardieu really has a sense of teacher-student friendship with Elisa.

He himself is very old, and he is very fond of promoting his juniors. Miss Serena, even at a young age, has achieved a high level of achievement, but she is not lost in the glitz, but has studied acting diligently, so he is also very happy to answer Elisa's questions.

_________________________________________________________

Hard work can always be seen to pay off, which is well reflected in Elisa's subsequent shooting.

She had slightly curly black hair, wore a black slim dress, and was decorated with a gold belt around her waist, standing on the stage arranged by the crew, and the makeup artist stood on the stage to help her touch up her makeup.

β€œaction!”

"When you kiss me, the heavens sigh, I close my eyes and see the rose life." Her red lips were lightly opened, and her skin was snow-white.

"When you hold me close to your heart, I am in another country where roses bloom."

"Every day, the love words have become a love song."

"Give me your heart and soul, for the rest of your life." At the end of the song, she smiled slightly, and kissed the audience softly, a corner where she felt at ease.

"Great show." "As soon as the movie aired, everyone knew that the decision we made was not surprising at all," Olivia said. ”

"It's like Piaf reappearing, isn't it?"

――――――――――――――――

"La Vie en Rose" was a challenge for Elisa, but she felt she could take it all.

In this film, she wants to play Piaf's dependence on poison ///.

For this reason, she went to watch several films about this, one of which was "London", which she auditioned unsuccessfully.

As early as when she auditioned for London, she tried to play an addiction// gentleman, so now when it comes to picking it up, it's still relatively easy.

When watching "London", you have to associate the bearded man in the movie with the future Captain America.

The last meeting in Chinatown brought their relationship a little bit in, at least from being unfamiliar to knowing each other.

Thinking of the "fate" of the last chance encounter in Chinatown, Elisa curled the corners of her mouth a little funny.

――――

Olivia's approach to editing and filming the film is bizarre.

He can go from being a taciturn nine-year-old girl one second to a dying woman in the next shot.

The consequence of this sequence is that Elisa has to keep up with Olivia's speed of filming.

She has heard more than once that someone has complained about the director's filming method behind her back.

Although she also wants to complain, it is undeniable that this shooting has indeed taught her a lot of things.

The experience of filming in a foreign country is always unforgettable.

Finally, after finishing filming in France, Olivida generously gave everyone a day off, and the next day, they were going to fly to England to prepare for the next shooting.

Luisa also learned the news, so she specially instructed Elisa to use that free day to pick up a new job before leaving France.
