Section 141 Busy and toiling
"Honey, I cooked macaroni. If the weeder is broken, don't fix it, if it can't be repaired, we can buy a new one. I see a brand new iRich weeder and maybe we can try something new. ”
Standing on the top of the steps, Watts glanced at the broken lawnmower on the floor, and then seemed to think for a moment before coming to her conclusion. She walked down the steps, half-bent down and pulled up the squatting Jim Carrey, and before Jim Carrey stood up, she returned to the steps and walked up with Jim Carrey step by step.
"Stop! Well, that's all for this one! ”
Watching their play, Levy shouted to stop.
"Pay attention to the focus here, Truman and his wife are standing at different depths, and one is in the basement and the other is standing in the doorway, and the lighting behind them is also different, and the two people are presented separately, to emphasize that this scene is reality and reality in the hearts of the two people."
Levy was still telling the photographer while Jim Carrey was already on his feet, the makeup crew came over to touch up his makeup, and his assistant came over and handed him a cup to rehydrate.
"Unfortunately, there's only water here, if only there was macaroni." Jim Carrey drank his water and turned back to greet Watts, "Very good performance, at least now I really want to eat macaroni." ”
"Kim, you've got to control your diet." Watts looked at Jim Carrey and said with some reproach.
"Don't be so strict, dear wife," Jim Carrey joked nonchalantly, "You can't be that you haven't played yet, and you still want to manage me as a wife, right?" ”
"Maybe." Watts didn't argue with him about anything, just shrugged and smiled.
"Kim, you have to admit that Naomi's acting performance is no worse than yours now." Beside them, Levy walked over and spoke. Jim Carrey grimaced. Naomi, on the other hand, grinned.
Levy gave her an encouraging smile, and he was telling the truth: it was amazing, the angle of Watts' movements and her movements were excellent. Relying on her movements, she didn't let the overly troublesome height difference show, and with her self-designed eyes and thoughtful movements, she also made herself need to behave in an ad that seemed quite natural. This move made Levy a little admired: a good actor is smart enough, and her self-designed movements and movements look really natural.
Naomi has gradually found the advantages of her acting in these days: she can't be as arrogant and charming as Jim Carrey. can't be as quiet and introverted as Ed Harris and don't say a word, then, her advantage is naturally her control of details.
Obviously, she did a good job.
"Okay, just do it all over again. Naomi, stand more naturally, don't look like a model. ”
I told you two words. Levy let them all walk away. Behind Levy, Clark watched them with interest before speaking.
"It's really strange that these days are in. You didn't even go to talk to the actress all the time. Clark looked at Watts and said suddenly.
"Why should I talk to the heroine?" Levy asked rhetorically.
"I just thought it was your hobby and your special abilities - you made two movies and slept with the heroine, so. In this third part, you value the heroine very much......"
"Those two things are just accidents, and there is no necessary connection." Levy frowned, how could he give this impression himself. "I'm not a nymphomaniac, I don't sleep with everybody - I know Amy. Adams hasn't done anything in two years? ”
"Movies are not the same as TV series." Clark shrugged.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible. I value her because she has good acting skills and can adapt to many different roles. Charlize's temperament is too strong, it is difficult to play a weak image, and Winona's filming is completely with her own temperament, some time ago she contacted me and said that when she was promoting in Europe, some Britons approached her, thinking that her temperament was very suitable for playing British, and asked her to act in Shakespeare's plays, and she had agreed. I thought, if I really want to find a great actor to help me film, then Watts is the only possible candidate. ”
"Have you figured out what's going to shoot your next movie?" Clark asked rhetorically.
"Why do you ask?"
"This play is not your script, and at the speed at which you work, shouldn't there be a new script now?" Clark's attitude seems to be saying something that is taken for granted, "You are a workaholic, it is impossible for a workaholic to rest for a long time, it is normal for you to stop for a few months and have a new play." ”
For Clark's understanding, Levy could only smile bitterly and shake his head: Where does he have any new play? filming continues, but it's just because he has to rush to use the opportunity he has to cross, and he is afraid of being taken advantage of by others, "I'm not a workaholic...... After the filming of this film, I guess I will have to take a break for a while. Actually, I'm also very tired, don't you know if I'm busy or not during this period of time? ”
Indeed, Levy has been busy these days.
While Levy was filming Truman's world, Alexander and Michael were also doing another thing: they were trying to make the movie "The Notebook" together. Levy basically didn't have much to do with this matter, but he still paid attention to it: although it wasn't his script, not his director, he just contacted Aniston, and even the actor was Michael was responsible for finding - to Levy's surprise, he actually found Jude Law to play - but, after all, this is the first time that the mystery company has filmed a work that Levy is not involved in, and Levy is also very concerned about how the shooting is.
Your own company can't just be a private workshop that serves you alone, and it is still a necessary attempt to expand some business.
The simultaneous release of these two films has made Levy's work much heavier, and at the same time, the time has come to December, and the awards season for the new year is getting closer and closer, and whether Angel Amelie can win the Oscars has been discussed for a long time.
Clark knew all these things, and Levi mentioned it now, which also made him nod, and while nodding, he also remembered something, "Which movie do you think has the most hope for this year's Oscars?" Can Angel Amelie succeed in the Olympics? ”
"How would I know? I don't have any idea about that. ”
Angel Amelie is now basically in Europe, and the film has grossed a staggering 250 million worldwide. Although it has a lot less global box office than the same type of Me is Crazy for Mary, it can be said that it is a double harvest with the rave reviews of Angel Love Beauty - when the awards season is approaching, people are concerned about more than just money.
However, although Angel Amelie's evaluation is good, Oscar does not necessarily have a share: the reason is because the competitors are working hard to advertise.
At this time, several other works of Chong Ao also appeared. Shakespeare's Love Story was released in December, and it also received good reviews - and as a classical drama, it really qualifies. And she is lonely, the thin red line, Central Station, Beautiful Life and other movies also have good reviews, and now in the outside world, people have been talking about which one is better.
The film was well received, and Weinstein is now trying to put his film on the altar with great effort. He is constantly contacting the media, picking questions for the hottest Soldier Ryan, while constantly singing praises to Shakespeare's love history. Classical British dramas are very popular with the media, and now the momentum he has created has made Shakespeare's love history one of the hits.
For this kind of formation, Levy is not surprised, not only Weinstein is making trouble, but Spielberg's counterattack is not weak at all. The two films are now arguing in the media, and it looks like the Oscars will only be born among them.
Not only that, but Weinstein also tried to make Gwyneth a contender for Best Actress. Moreover, there are many people in the media today who are promoting this possibility.
Levy said that he didn't know how to judge anymore, and it was precisely because of this: Levy remembered, only Gwyneth. Paltrow won the Oscar, but it was really this year that he was surprised to find that Gwyneth acted in five movies this year, and her name has been missing almost all the media in a year, making this originally inconspicuous actress have been popular for a year. This made Levy suddenly wake up a little: he can make movies, but he can't always change the matter of public relations.
For the sake of Oscar PR, even a recognized slacker like Gwyneth can make five movies a year to make himself the center of attention, and they really work hard. Seeing this intensity, Levy also doubted that his film would compete with others.
Levy has little interest in winning the award. Watching others fight back and forth, he also felt very bored. It's just that at this time, he is still a little curious, how did Shakespeare's love history defeat the saving soldier Ryan? Levy still didn't figure this out. He wanted to know how the Savior Private Ryan, who had always been well received, was pulled down? These things, in his mind, are already a little indistinct.
This doubt was finally revealed in December.
"Nick, did you watch the news? Once again, the Pentagon has made a move on Iraq. ”
Bruce's sudden call made Levy stunned for a long time, and then he realized something: this is the reason why Private Ryan was unlucky, right?
Hollywood, the stronghold of the left, has always been the place where the anti-war wave is most intense. When this happens, Hollywood will definitely be actively anti-war - and in the midst of an anti-war wave, war films want to win an Oscar? How is this possible! (To be continued......)
