Billy's words made Theron turn his head in surprise, "Talk?" What do you mean by talking? ”

"Of course, just ask him to cut the intensity of some scenes for you, or use the editing to cover it up for you." Billy said it quite plainly.

"Isn't this tantamount to arguing with the director?" Theron hesitated, it was her first time to play the leading role, and making such a request to the director seemed quite perverse to her. Especially since she doesn't want to quarrel with Levi at all: although Levi always says that she doesn't act well, Levi always encourages her and helps her to make her better.

Except that he is a little too demanding, he is also a good director.

"But this director just refuses to let your play pass, and if you don't negotiate with him, he will keep bullying you. Some directors are bastards, you can't fight with them, you have to let people know that he is not alone in the movie set. ”

Theron just pouted at this: Levy doesn't say it, then who has the final say? If a person is a producer, director, screenwriter, and at the same time a film that he invests in, how can he say that it doesn't count?

"If you make your own request, of course not. However, if you can convince Kevin Spacey to speak for you, it's not the same. Billy gave Theron an idea, "He's a big star, and the director definitely wouldn't dare to offend him." If he speaks for you, the director has to give him face, no matter how much he hates you. ”

"The director doesn't hate me......" Theron still knew in his heart why Levy was embarrassed for her. However, when the sentence came to her lips, she swallowed back the next half of the sentence.

Levy thinks that her acting skills are not good, and her requirements can be said to be almost harsh. Theron's inconsiderate place, she knows it herself, but can she solve it with it? Theron doesn't think so.

I've been so tired for the past two days, and I've worked hard enough. I'm not a person who covets comfort and relaxation, and I don't complain even if I'm wrapped in a leather coat in the summer, but I really can't do it - maybe, it's not undesirable to let Spacey say something for him? He is a big-name star, and he should still have influence on the director.

Who has the final say on set? The director is theoretically supposed to be in charge of everything, but if the director is not famous enough and the actors are too big-named, then things are hard to say.

Of course, it is not necessary that the actor will call the director like a pig and a dog, but sometimes, it is difficult to say that there is a dispute about the performance of a certain detail. The director hopes that the lead actor will express himself through his lines, but the lead actor feels that his acting skills are high, and he can express himself through his eyes - who should he listen to at this time?

Do you think you should listen to you because you're a director? He also thinks he's a star and has a lot more experience than you. Moreover, some things are simply difficult to argue for a reason, is it better for a character to perform more tense, or a little more restrained? For a plot, is it better to have a close-up or a panorama? These arguments have their own merits, and it is difficult to achieve results.

At this time, some actors will listen to the director's arrangement, while others will choose to insist on themselves. encountered such a situation, the director is also very helpless, people are big names, even if they want to follow their own, it is difficult for the director to do it.

Even Spielberg is not unprecedented. Theron heard that he and Julia Roberts collaborated on the filming of Captain Hooke, Julia Roberts relied on the fact that she was dating the boss of Universal at the time, and she was a first-class actress in Hollywood, thinking that she was confident enough to play a big name on the set, so angry that Spielberg scolded more than once, and later angrily claimed that she would never make movies with Julia Roberts again.

Tyron knew that Levy had just made a movie, and he couldn't make Spacey, who was already a big star, completely obedient. Well, if Spacey speaks, it must have had an impact on him.

Spacey seems to be a very nice guy...... A few days of contact also gave Theron a certain understanding of the actor. This is the biggest actor in the whole crew, but there is no arrogance, his temper is quite gentle, he can afford to joke, and there is no arrogance - no wonder the rumors say that he is gay, such a gentle temper is indeed very similar - this kind of temper also makes Theron a little hesitant, maybe, should he say something for himself?

But wouldn't Levy be very upset if he did this?

"Charlie, your drama is very well shot, as an actor, it's already remarkable that you didn't deliberately cut corners in filming movies, and you did the right thing yourself. You don't have to follow all the director's requirements, the director's requirements are not necessarily reasonable. ”

Billy was still following the rules, and his words did give Theron some confidence.

Yes, I didn't steal the show, I didn't come nonsense, I am already very worthy of my professional ethics, why is what the director said right?

It's just that it feels really strange for Billy to say this: Theron vaguely remembers that a few days ago, Billy was suggesting that he could find a way to steal the show during the filming.

Actors can steal the scene: this kind of scene-stealing cannot be as simple as deliberately moving in front of the camera, not blocking the other party's face to complete the task - that kind of clumsy means, is a comedic effect, and will only appear in burlesque, and cannot appear in film shooting: if you dare to use such a clumsy method, you will find yourself and be scolded.

Billy's stealing of the scene is actually a very common technique: what she wants to steal is not someone else's play, but the camera framing.

In film shooting, there are times when it is necessary to change the framing according to the situation. For example, shooting action scenes such as martial arts and dancing are generally given to panoramic views, but if the actor's own dancing level is not at home, or the figure is not good enough, the legs are too short and the waist is too thick, then you have to give a half-body view, and even have to give a close-up to be able to cover it up. This practice is the so-called scene-stealing: when the actor is dancing, he deliberately does not dance well, and deliberately goes wrong, which forces the director to use close-up shots to shoot her, and her face appears more - for some young actors who want to be famous and want to pay attention to remember their appearance, these skills must be learned. Some actors rely on these skills to mix roles.

When filming the dancing scene, Billy suggested that Theron should pretend that his steps were wrong, so that he could not use a full-length view, but a half-body view. It's just that Theron has always refused to use these kinds of tricks. It's not that she thinks this kind of skill is bad, but she has her own opinion in her heart: the director has the final say in the movie, and the director thinks that the whole body scene is better, and there must be a reason for him. Deliberately making trouble by yourself is not good for the movie itself. Moreover, I have studied dance for so many years, and my figure is so good, why do I have to take a close-up? Showing off your figure, are you afraid of anyone?

It's just that I did that, but I didn't have higher requirements. Theron glanced at Billy: this guy really isn't a good guy, and many times his advice is rather shameless. However, Theron also has to admit that he is a talent who has been trained in this circle, and on many issues, he has much more opportunistic means than himself.

Perhaps consider his words...... Levi said that he didn't care about his own thoughts, so why should he care about his power?

Theron was also a little annoyed, she couldn't pay attention to what to do. Billy wasn't a trustworthy person, and Levy was always scolding her, maybe he really should ask Spacey?

"I'm going to talk to Kevin." Theron agreed, and she turned her head to the RV on the other side.

You'll have to talk about it yourself.

Theron has never been one to wait, and he strode over and knocked on the door.

"Please push the door in...... Charllotze, what's the matter? Kevin Spacey, who was in the room, was a little surprised when he saw Theron coming in, "Shall I pour you a drink?" What do you drink? ”

"Whatever." Theron agreed, "Kevin, there are some things I want to talk to you about. ”

Kevin Spacey raised an eyebrow, and Theron came to chat with him, which surprised him a little, but looking at Theron with a worried face, Spacey also thought of something.

"Okay, let's talk."

Spacey placed the cup on the table and struck up a conversation with Theron. His attitude was still very kind, but although his face was gentle, he smiled as if he knew Theron's intentions, and Theron was also up and down in his heart, wondering if he should talk to him about this topic.

It's not something to be proud of, after all...... Theron still didn't know how to open his mouth in his heart. She really hates Levy's layer-by-layer requirements for herself, but because Levi is demanding of herself, she has to find ways to embarrass him, no matter what, she is also an actor he discovered.

However, now that I've seen Spacey, can I still say nothing?

"Kevin, there's something I'd like to get your help with...... If you're willing to help, that's the best ......"

"I'll be able to guess what you're thinking, but, Charlize, before you speak, answer my question: Charlize, do you want to be an actor or a star?" Spacey interrupted Theron and spoke first, "I'll talk about it later, it's very different. ”
