Chapter 62: Rumors

(Thank you for the "law" tip, and thank you for voting for your friends.) )

Los Angeles, inside a Miramax studio.

The film crew of "Ashes" has been filming for nearly a week, and Miramax is very attentive to this film, whether it is crew preparation, actor recruitment and even studio arrangement. Compared to them, the other boss, who also invested in the film, seemed incompetent and almost completely ignored - except for the occasional phone call with Rachel.

Scenes in mental hospitals are filmed in a sound studio, which is also the normal shooting procedure for most films, according to the needs of the plot and location, focusing on the shooting of all the scenes in one location before moving on to the next location.

Today's filming is the scene where the male protagonist, the gambler Rex, enters a mental hospital and meets the heroine Jon for the first time. The camera pans forward with Rex until he enters the hall and sees Jon sitting quietly on a chair on the edge of the windowsill, staring out the window.

Everyone who saw this scene suddenly felt the same feeling in their hearts.

It's beautiful!

At this time, everyone gathered in the studio, whether it was the scene reporter, prop master, lighting engineer, or even the onlookers actors and director team, all of these people stood in their different positions, saw the picture from different angles, but without exception, they exclaimed from their hearts.

At this moment, Rachel Sellers' beauty conquered everyone, and many people's beauty was only stunning at first sight, and as their eyes became familiar with this face, they would slowly fade away, and they didn't seem to be as beautiful as they remembered. But Rachel is different, her beauty is from within and visible from within, and can withstand any scrutiny, and the more she looks, the more she will taste different beauty. This kind of beauty is not something that can be described in words for a while, it may be difficult for you to tell what the beauty is at first, but the more you look at it, the more obsessed you become, from the temperament, manners, expressions, facial features and even subtle movements, all of them are combined to form this amazing beauty.

And director Rob Marshall and assistant director Milani Figin, who were sitting in front of the monitor, admired Rachel's beauty, but also had another feeling:

Well acted!

When filming a real movie, there are extremely high requirements for the actors' performances and subtle expressions, especially when the close-ups and close-ups of the characters, it is necessary to perform that natural and convincing feeling, otherwise it will only give a hard impression of life, and it will be unnatural and fake in the eyes of the audience. Rachel's performance at this time is very good, of course, you can see a lot of youthful feelings, but it is amazing enough.

With a period of contact, Milani, who initially questioned Rachel, became her biggest supporter, and the most satisfying thing for her was Rachel's understanding, this girl could see that the experience was still very insufficient, but a little bit of it could be transformed, this is the plasticity of an actor, often representing the potential of the actor, and even Rachel can occasionally have some highlight moments, unexpectedly beautiful performances.

For example, now, she interprets the heroine Jon's delicate, beautiful, and quiet temperament just right, and the moment she turns her head to look at the actor Rex, the eyes are even more super-standard, and even make Ryan Thomas Gosling (Ryan, Thomas, Gosling), who plays Rex, stunned, although it is almost impossible to notice for a short moment, but it has not escaped the eyes of the two directors.

"Cards!"

Director Rob decisively shouted to stop, and sighed regretfully, if Gosling hadn't hesitated, it would have been perfect.

Ryan Gosling apparently realized his mistake and cheerfully apologized to everyone while giving Rachel a thumbs up to show that she had done a great job. Rachel just smiled and responded, not even speaking, she needs to try to keep her emotions alive, save more feelings while she feels good, and strive to not have problems next time.

It is this attitude of hard work that makes her perform better and better after overcoming the stumbling in the first two days.

Sure enough, there were no problems with everyone during the second shooting, and the filming of this scene ended smoothly. At this time, it was already noon, and director Rob announced that filming would be suspended, and everyone would eat and rest separately.

"Rachel, the performance is amazing!" With a dog-legged smile on his face, Philip Walters greeted him and handed over the glass of water in his hand.

"Thanks, Philip, you really don't have to be so polite to me." Rachel took the glass a little embarrassed and glanced at her assistant Lorna, who was full of amusement and helplessness.

Yes, after winning the lead role of this new film, although it is still in the stage of obscurity, the agent Nancy Jacobs has arranged a personal assistant for her. In her words, Rachel should slowly start adding these must-have features now to the process of becoming a star, and this part of the expenses will be deducted from her salary income.

Miramax paid Rachel $300,000 for the lead role, which is very high for a newcomer, but at the same time it is not ridiculously high, which is not unconventional, after all, she can be said to be the soul of the whole film.

For Rachel now, life in the crew is much better than expected, the shooting is on the right track, everyone is polite to themselves, and the director is doing his best to guide him.

The most uncomfortable thing for her is Philip Walters, the head of management of Miramax, who wanders around the crew all day long, and is so industrious that he is completely beyond the scope of his duties, and he is even more attentive and enthusiastic about himself. If it weren't for his warm but distanced attitude, which didn't feel like an admirer, Rachel would have suspected that this guy was trying to pursue herself.

"It's okay, it's okay. Rachel, I'm your fan, it's right to serve you, if there's anything I need to do, just tell me. "If Philip Walters knew that the beautiful woman in front of him almost took him for an admirer, he would have been so frightened that he would have peed his pants, but he didn't want to bear the lesson Clyde had taught him any more.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiley man, Rachel also had no problem with Philip, originally wanted to sit down and rest, but thought about it and walked to the dressing room. In crowded places, this guy will at least be more restrained, and in order to control the figure, the delicate feeling of the heroine Jon, her diet is very simple, it is better to prepare makeup in advance, and it will be used in the afternoon shooting.

The door to the powder room was not closed, but hidden.

Rachel, who was wearing a costume, had cotton slippers from a mental hospital on her feet, and she walked very lightly and barely made any sound, so the people who were chatting inside did not notice the movement outside, and could faintly hear the chaotic voices coming out.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect Rachel's progress to be quite fast, and the last few games have been good." This voice Rachel is familiar with, playing the hospital nurse Durty Menuhin, a kind but experienced veteran actor. Hearing others discussing herself, Rachel subconsciously stopped, a little embarrassed to go in.

"Come on, Durty. It's just a little-known little actor, and she has no background, Hollywood is all over the place, have you forgotten her poor performance at the beginning? Why does she play the leading role? Most of them are tied to the big names in the circle. Rachel didn't hear this scathing voice for the first time, but a few words made her face a little pale, completely attracted by what the other party said.

"You shouldn't say that, Madeleine. I could see that Rachel was a good girl, and there was no need for all this speculation. Durti Menuhin apparently did not believe what Madeleine said, and was kind enough to persuade her.

"I'm not being slandered in the back for no reason, Durty. There is a basis for saying this, didn't you find that the director was surprisingly good to Rachel, almost never scolded her, this girl is not a big star, Rob is not good-tempered, have you forgotten the way he was angry last time? and the producer's Philip, who is outrageously attentive! Unless Rachel is the illegitimate daughter of Antonino Smith, I'm willing to bet she's got in touch with some big guy and slept with Disney's top brass. ”

The woman known as Madeleine continues to analyze the truth, while mysteriously drawing conclusions. She has been in Hollywood for many years, and although she can only play a supporting role, she is also used to seeing all kinds of things in the shadows. How could a beautiful canary like Rachel Sellers come out so quickly without being asleep, and she must have served that big man very well, so she would be so eager to praise her. Madeleine imagined with a bit of jealousy and viciousness, and her heart was full of pleasure in piercing the secret.

Durtie was clearly moved by her and fell silent and stopped talking. And there seemed to be other people in the makeup artist, all of whom took over the conversation and started talking about it.
