53. Chapter 53

James. Compared with some Hollywood male stars, McAvoy is very tender.

At least from the outside, you definitely can't tell how old this man with beautiful blue eyes and full of vitality is this year.

Although she has lived in Hollywood for two years in Vanity Fair, from Elisa's appearance, when she is not wearing makeup, there is still a beautiful posture between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The film "Atonement", if you put aside so many external factors, it is a very simple story of a poor boy and a rich girl.

But with the addition of various factors, this story, which seems to be nothing new, has become different.

A big family, hiding some novel material, a beautiful sister, a sister who has talent but does the wrong thing, a smart butler's son who is looked down upon because of his identity, and a proud mother who maintains a superficial image.

As the two who play the couple in the play, these two actors, who have never crossed paths before, began their first communication.

Before the official start of filming of "Atonement", Elisa had learned that the actor who gained attention with "Shameless" had a girlfriend who had been dating for three years and had a stable relationship.

And James also knows some interesting things about the process of filming "007" by this bubbling female star who has recently become popular in Hollywood.

Before filming "Atonement", as a director, Joe. White hadn't read the novel.

When Elisa heard the news, she silently closed her mouth open in surprise, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was still the elegant female star.

But she was a little worried about the future of the film.

Most of the filming of "Atonement" was set in a small English town.

This is Elisa's second visit to the UK.

Compared with London, this kind of British country town has a different kind of idyllic atmosphere.

After all kinds of clothes, costumes and camera positions are all in place, the relationship between these leading actors is almost connected, Elisa and James. The first scene of McAvoy officially started filming.

Long before filming, Elisa had read this novel, and the changes in the movie were not very big compared to the novel, which also helped Elisa figure out the character's mental context.

What kind of young lady is Cecilia - she is born well, but she has a secret love affair with the housekeeper's son, but because of class prejudice and her own repression, she is caught in a tangle of love and dignity.

But in the face of Robbie being wronged, she did not hesitate to cut off a relationship with her family, and tried her best to correspond with Robbie.

A woman who is extremely contradictory and dares to think and do.

At the first start of filming, Elisa broke down the conversation about Joe. White's concerns.

As long as you have seen the director's shooting methods, you will be impressed by him.

His films just make people feel that a random screenshot of a picture is a colorful oil painting, with a fresh and bright vision, and an intoxicating aesthetic temperament.

That's not an exaggeration.

Elisa's first rivalry with James was in the garden.

Dressed in a silk floral blouse and a long skirt that slits her knees to her ankles, her blonde hair was pulled back and a few strands of curls occasionally appeared, adding to the hidden personality of her calm exterior.

She was holding a ceramic bottle with flowers in it.

With director Joe. At White's order, Elisa began her official shooting.

"Can you give me a Bolshevik cigarette of yours?" She walked barefoot to Robbie's side, and the camera slowly began to move with her words.

James stepped into his role quickly, he got up from the ground, and followed Cecilia as she walked.

She walked neatly, and the slit of her skirt in the middle of the action revealed some of Cecilia's white, slender calves.

"The weather was so nice."

"It's okay, I think it's too hot." Robbie replied as he rolled the cigarette in his hand.

"Is that book good?" He asked, his hand in his pocket.

"It's okay, it's not interesting."

"It's going to be more exciting."

Cecilia took the cigarette in his hand, because this character has a lot of smoking scenes, so Elisa also took time to practice for a while to avoid rusty movements.

She turned sideways, holding a flower in one hand and a cigarette in the other, which Robbie handed her.

"I still prefer Fielding." She took a shallow breath, the smoke came out, and a pair of clear eyes stared at him tightly: "-More passionate." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

――――――――――――――――――

The filming was carried out in an orderly manner, and the actress who played the role of Cecilia's sister when she was thirteen years old was Saoirse who was several years younger than Elisa. Ronan.

This ninety-four-year-old girl, when she acts, has a special aura.

Everyone in the crew likes this little girl, and Elisa is no exception.

After all, everyone likes the cute little Lori.

There are not many actors used in the crew of "Atonement", and among these actors, if there is the highest coffee position, it is Elisa, who has emerged in the past two years.

This young actress is not like some celebrities who dump big names everywhere when they just become popular, on the contrary, although she looks a little cold on the outside, but if you know her a little, you will find that this is a very good person to get along with.

After several films, Elisa. Serena's reputation in the circle has also been established little by little.

Joe. White is a director who is very good at grasping the richness of the United Kingdom, both from the beginning of his time with Kayla. This can be seen in Pride and Prejudice, which Knightley is working with, or in Atonement, which she is now working with Elisa.

In with Joe. In White's cooperation, Elisa can be said to have really overgrown a little fresh addiction.

The work of filming in the UK is not sad, her acting skills have been in a steady state, but it is also a dangerous state, Elisa seems to be able to feel that bottleneck, but it seems to be very difficult for her to break it.

Because of this, her mood in the past few days is as gloomy as the weather that has been drizzling.

Saoirse. Ronan also noticed that Elisa was not very interested, and when they didn't have a role, Joe. White tends not to restrict their movements, so noticing that Elisa is in a bad mood, she invites Elisa to go with her for a walk around London.

Nestled in a small village, leisurely is enough to make people leisurely, but Elisa is the kind of person who is born to be idle, so when Saoirse invited her, Elisa agreed.

During filming, Elisa didn't bring anyone with her, Angela stayed in Los Angeles to help her deal with some things, and sent her some information by email, Daisy was not very useful when she was filming, so Elisa only brought a life assistant over.

The advantage of this is that she has a lot of freedom of movement.

Elisa. The news of Serena's filming in the UK is extremely hidden, and most people still think that she is in the crew of "007", so most people don't know that the American actress Elisa, who was in the limelight at the British Academy Film Awards. Serena appeared on the streets of London in this way.

The advantage of being in a foreign country is that there are no paparazzi all the time, and you have to be on guard against mobile phone lenses all the time, after all, as a fashionable actress, if one day she suddenly wears the wrong clothes that day and is photographed, this will make those fashionable people have a great impression of her.

So unlike the last time she came to London, this time she was very relaxed.

Because during the BAFTA Awards, Elisa was quite short of time, and she didn't have a chance to take a good look at the scenery of London.

And this time, she came with Saoirse, and she could have a good walk around London.

They first went to some small shops to buy something, girls are naturally interested in clothes and jewelry, although Saoirse. Ronan is young, but this kind of woman's nature has begun to show itself in her.

Neither of them had any restraint, and soon carried a lot of things in their hands.

They plan to be on the crew the next day, so they still have plenty of time.

Saoirse. After the afternoon sweep, Ronan was still defeated by Elisa, so when Elisa invited her to go out for a walk in good spirits that evening, she regretfully refused her.

Although Saoirse can't go with her, Elisa is still in high spirits, she is from Broadway and has a special affection for musicals, so she plans to visit London's West End.

The status of London's West End is not much different from that of Broadway in musicals.

But compared to Broadway, musicals in the West End are more dramatic and artistic.

Now that they're all here, Elisa is sure to buy a ticket to enjoy the musical in London's West End, what kind of difference is there from Broadway.

After considering several plays in the same period, she still chose the famous Shakespeare "Othello".

It was late when she bought the ticket, but she was lucky enough to grab the ticket that was in the middle, and the viewing effect was good.

After watching a musical, except for Shakespeare's famous lines, all she remembered was the actor's face and the Shakespearean lines he said that could make people cry.

There is no shortage of bonus halos with good faces, but the actor's line skills are really deep.

However, although the distance was a bit far, she still felt that the actor's face was a little familiar.

Of course, she doesn't feel familiar because she looks good!

As the flow of people slowly walked out of the theater, there were already many actors in the back alleys waiting for the actors to come out of the play just now, and Elisa was fortunate to receive such treatment when she was on Broadway.

Maybe it was really a little boring, and Elisa also stood next to the person and began to wait.

Standing beside her was a girl who was slightly shorter than her, dressed as a hip-hop girl, perhaps seeing a beautiful face, and she was rather curious to talk to this young woman who looked a little cold.

"You're here to wait for Tom, too. Hiddleston's? ”

"Tom. Hidler: "Elisa quickly reacted to which actor in the play should be the name.

But the name struck her all the same.

Soon, the familiar name was associated with the face of a man who had just stepped out of the back door of the theater.

"Tom. Hiddleston. ”

Seeing that the people waiting came out, the girls around them rushed to a favorable position, and the posture of chasing musical actors was no worse than those chasing stars.

Elisa didn't grasp the bag she was holding for a moment, and all the things in her hand fell out at once.

Fortunately, they are all small gifts with wrapping, and she doesn't have trouble picking them up.

"Hello, is this your thing?" A warm voice sounded in front of her, and Elisa put the things she had just picked up in the bag, raised her eyes, and looked at the young man in front of her.

Tom. Hiddleston is a man who looks intently at the speaker with a gentle gaze when he speaks.

And this male god-level person who will be popular all over the country in the future, when he saw Eliza's blonde hair covered when she lifted it, only half of her cheeks were exposed, she just said something a little dumbfounded.

"Miss, you seem to be a little familiar."

At the end of August, Elisa finished filming her second film of the year, and the entire filming of "Atonement" was announced.

"007" also announced the end of their filming, the news that they are already in post-editing, and released the first wave of promotional posters.

And Elisa. The news that Serena was shooting a new movie in the UK suddenly spread out without knowing how.
