435 Emotional agitation
Ian slowly parked the car, then raised his feet and walked towards the direction of the studio, there were two security guards at the gate, after Ian reported his name, one of the security guards went inside to double-check, and waited for a while before letting Ian in. Layers of heavy defense, revealing an indescribable solemn atmosphere.
Upon entering the shed, the warm air hits your face, contrasting with the cold and gloom of the outdoors. Standing at the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a large green screen, the rustic green is really eye-catching, the surrounding equipment is placed around the green screen in a chaotic but orderly manner, and the staff are confirming the situation of the green screen.
"Are you kidding?" There was a teasing laugh from the side, and the magnetic woman's voice didn't need to turn her head at all, depicting a sexual/sensual gesture in the air, this sentence caused a burst of laughter, and the suppressed sound carried the woman's unique high voice, like a spring in full bloom.
Looking back, Ian saw four or five women gathered in a heap, giggling and joking.
One of them seemed to be "isolated", standing alone, but the delicate face was stained with a rose red that did not belong to age and experience because of the charming/bewitching eyes, and the shy and embarrassed smile was like a bud waiting to be released, and the fragrance could be felt even if the eyes were closed.
Eva Green looked at the actresses who had rallied together to resist her, annoyed and at the same time at a loss, she had only starred in two films before joining the Sin City crew. First in the "Heavenly Dynasty", and then in the "Sin City", in just half a year, her career as an actor began to take off, and all of them were like dreams, too unreal.
Eva grinded her teeth and looked open, "I mean, Lance......" The name was said, and the women in front of her collectively put their fingers on their lips, "Shhhh One of them, the bewitching chocolate beauty who looked like a wild cat, boldly looked back in the direction of the green screen, and confirmed that there was indeed a long distance from here, and then she was relieved.
When she turned her head, the chocolate beauty saw Ian who had stopped, and instead of being timid, she raised her chin and glanced at Ian in a defiant gesture. This made Ian bow his head slightly, raise his right hand, and put his index and middle fingers together in a saluting gesture. He knew this beauty, her name was Rosario-Dawson, he was impressed when he first saw the cast of "Sin City", and now that they met face to face, Ian had an inexplicable thought: what if she played "Catwoman......
Eva didn't notice the brief eye contact between Ian and Rosario, and she immediately stopped her voice under the sound of "shhhh His facial features are indeed ...... It's handsome, I can't deny it, but it's just an objective analysis from an aesthetic point of view, and for me, he doesn't have any charm. ”
"No charm?" Alexis-Bledel, who was standing next to her, widened her eyes in disbelief, her azure eyes filled with incredible shock, and she used every muscle in her body to express her surprise, "Are you kidding me?" I mean, he looks like a self-righteous asshole, that's true, but ......," her words sent a shudder through everyone, "but his personality aside, just the looks, his eyes, his eyebrows, his lips...... God, he's just ......"
Alexis seemed to find himself unable to find the right words to describe it, so Rosario, who was standing next to him, nodded and concluded, "You want to sleep with him." ”
Everyone was stunned, and then they burst into laughter, but the laughter broke out, and then it was suppressed, and Eva had a tangled expression, "Yes, maybe that's what it means, I don't want to sleep with him." Eva's eyes widened, "God, every time I see him, I feel like he's going to explode......"
Ian couldn't help but wonder about the conversation, and although he had no intention of participating, it was indeed interesting. However, after that, Ian lost interest, so he stepped away and walked towards the position of the green screen.
From afar, Ian saw Lance, and standing in front of him were four actors, Bruce Willis, Michael Madsen, Nick-Stahl and Emma Stone - Emma finally won the role of the young Nancy, which also made Lance change the setting of the script to make the script closer to the original comics, the young Nancy is thirteen years old, and the adult Nancy is twenty-four.
"Have you seen Broadway?" Lance was communicating with the actors, but it was obvious that his eyebrows were a little mixed and absent-minded, and his whole attention was a little unfocused. This is very rare. "Due to the limitations of the stage, in order for the audience to clearly appreciate the details of the performance, Broadway needs to be magnified, even exaggerated, and the rhythm needs to be very well controlled. That's what I ask of you, no, strictly speaking, only partially. After Lance finished speaking, he looked a little annoyed, and frowned slightly, "I mean, your posture needs to be clear, and you can even bring some dramatic exaggeration to enrich your body language......"
"So, is it like a Colombian soap opera?" Bruce interrupted Lance's words, although Bruce is not a top name, but Hollywood's more than 20 years of experience is still enough.
Lance's eyes looked deeply at Bruce, and he could clearly see the impatience in his eyes rolling, just when everyone thought Lance was going to get angry, they saw Lance gritted his teeth fiercely, "No, it's not." If you want to perform a Colombian soap opera, sorry, you're on the wrong stage. The words are not only sharp, but also sensitive, "I am only talking about body language, but in the part of the face, I need you to be restrained, to put all your emotions together, to use your eyes and expressions to perform in place, as if every shot is a big close-up." ”
"But wouldn't this show be out of touch?" Bruce spoke again, putting his hands on his neck, and then disguising himself in the upper and lower directions, "There is no way to perform facial and physical performances on the same frequency. ”
Lance raised an eyebrow, "Yes, that's it. But, looking for a way to complete the director's idea, that's the actor's job, isn't it? After saying that, Lance ignored the wonderful expression on Bruce's face, turned his head to look at the other three people, and continued to speak, "Today's scene is the four of you......"
Bruce stopped talking, as if he wanted to get angry, but hesitated for a moment, and finally calmed down.
Ian could clearly notice that something was wrong with Lance today. During the previous filming of "Murder with a Knife", Lance did not fall behind even in the face of Tom, and all the strategies were in moderation, and the scene was firmly controlled in his hands; But today, when Lance faced Bruce, he was obviously impatient, almost suppressing with absolute strength, and at the same time seemed to be suppressing his feelings, and seemed to be restrained, which was not what Ian was familiar with.
Seeing Percy standing aside, Ian walked over, "So, what the hell has happened these days?" ”
Percy didn't plan to deal with it, but when she looked up and found that it was Ian, Percy's indifferent expression relaxed a little, "I don't know." Percy shook her head, but when she said that, realizing that she hadn't answered Ian's question, she continued, "I mean, nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that as the start time of the movie approaches, he becomes more and more agitated......"
"So, you're saying he's doing this because of the pressure of the new movie?" Ian's rhetorical question made Percy choke directly, and after being stunned, Percy shook his head, "I don't believe it." Sin City was a tough challenge for Lance, but it wasn't worse than the situation he had faced before, so it was impossible for Lance to be overstressed by turning it on.
Ian smiled and nodded, "Very well, I think so too." Ian's gaze fell on Lance's back, the broad shoulder line was obviously tightened, and the left hand in the pocket was making small movements, although he couldn't see it in sight, but Ian knew that when Lance was nervous or worried, the thumb of his left hand would always rub the tip of his index finger. The thought in his mind turned, "So, Lance called me yesterday to find out something, what the hell is going on?" ”
Ian and Theo went to Silicon Valley yesterday, and the acquisition of the trailer soundtrack company has entered the final stage, and the two of them are also busy on the ground. So Ian didn't have time to talk to Lance yesterday, and only today he came to Austin in person.
"Oh." Percy didn't know very well, but he knew that as Lance's assistant, if he didn't have a clue at all, then the matter would be tricky, so he didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, "After he met Robert Iger that day, he thought about it for a long time, and then asked me to call you to make an appointment, but ......" Percy looked at Ian and nodded, Ian said that he understood, he had been busy with acquisitions in Los Angeles for the past few days, "After that, we put in publicity again, nothing special, It's all going well, and then we're coming to Austin......" Percy thought carefully about what had happened during this time.
"Is it because of women?" Ian suddenly remembered the group of women at the door just now, and he didn't know much about Lance's love life. But Lance doesn't look like someone who would be in a mess because of a woman.
"That's right!" Percy didn't hear Ian's mischievous speculation, "Before meeting Robert Iger, Lance and Barry Meyer met. It was supposed to meet George Clooney that night, but it turned out that Barry was in attendance, and then Warner Bros. came up with $300 million for Lance to restart the Superman series. ”
Ian raised an eyebrow, three hundred million dollars, this figure is absolutely astronomical for the current Chaos Pictures, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "What the hell did Lance and Robert Iger talk about?" ”
"I don't know, he didn't say anything." Percy shook his head, "Still, when he came back that night, he seemed a little excited, but also a little hesitant. Finally went to the bar. ”
Ian tapped his chin slightly, "I see." There was a rough eyebrow in his mind, and although he wasn't sure, Ian let out a long sigh of relief. Sometimes, it's a good thing that a crisis comes early. (To be continued.) )
