A ray of morning light penetrated the gap in the curtains, leaving a light white spot on the carpet, and as time passed, its angle became larger and larger, and finally crossed the pillows and clothes piled up on the carpet, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and climbed up the golden hair and light. Bare arms and pale golden eyelashes - eventually, it succeeded in waking Jenny up, she fanned her eyelashes, covered her mouth and yawned, flipped out of bed, almost fell to the floor, but eventually struggled to get up from the side of the bed. ｗＷｗ．しωχＳ520．ｃｏＭ

"What time is it?" Turning on her phone to confirm the time, Jenny instinctively exclaimed, but then remembered that it was a weekly day off, which made her shoulders collapse with relaxation. "You can sleep for a few more hours."

Although she does not arrange morning jogging and other sports on her vacation days, she always indulges herself in a relaxing morning, but the perennial habit also makes Jenny lose the blessing of enjoying the return to sleep, sink into the pillow and close her eyes, she still sighs, grabs the iPad to check the daily news, the new e-mail received from last night to now, and the accumulated reports and official documents that have not been read. ――Can be in bed. Going to work, rather than getting up for the morning exercise, was already a treat to herself, and Jenny only hated that she couldn't bring her business to the showhouse - the biggest resentment she felt every time she forced herself to work.

"Hey, Leo, yes, I'm awake - well, give me fifteen minutes to eat breakfast, and then we'll be able to get started-" However, this good time didn't last long, only ten minutes later, Jenny's phone rang, and she glanced at the screen, and basically guessed Leo's intention, for Leo, this movie has no days off, he is always doing the practice of trying to get into the play, and this of course also includes talking to Jenny.

"Give." When Leo walked into Jenny's villa, he offered a box of strawberries as a tribute. "These are organic strawberries grown on my farm that you can eat as an after-dinner snack."

"Thank you." Jenny raised an eyebrow at him and made way for him, "What about Salvi?" ”

"He'll probably come over after lunch, if it's done." Leo said that the production process of "The Great Gatsby" was quite complicated, because there were a lot of big scenes with a lot of extras, which is one of the reasons why it was filmed in Los Angeles, where the perfect extras system is not comparable to other places, and of course that means a lot of extra meetings. Salvi voluntarily gave up his days off, but the main characters rarely took a break when they were making films, and the rest days were provided for the benefits of the staff who were paid a weekly salary. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, if you don't mind speaking to a woman eating cereal, you can start now." Jenny said, "Otherwise, you'll have to wait for me a while." ”

“ok。” Leo shrugged. "I can watch you eat - it might help you get up to speed."

Jenny popped a cereal at him, and in response to the joke, she crossed her legs and sat down on the couch, and Mary put the washed strawberries beside her, and went over to check Leo's script again, turning it to the corresponding number of pages for Jenny. Leo paced onto the terrace and admired the garden and the mountains in the distance, his expression relaxed, and he didn't mean to take out his phone to pass the time - in fact, this is why he has a house in Los Angeles, but he lives in a hotel, for similar reasons as when he was filming "Journey of Life", Salvi had the TV and internet in the villa removed, and of course, mobile phones were also banned. If Leo is bored, he can only read books.

After enjoying some strawberries and cereal, Jenny picked up the script and tapped on the edge of the coffee table to attract Leo's attention, she stood on tiptoe and followed Leo's gaze, and then couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, Leo, I said why did you come here so early - when did you find out about this secret?" ”

Leo aggrieved off the terrace, and the faint sounds and images of a small TV in the garden bar in the distance, which could be peeked out in the direction of the terrace, muttered to himself, "It was last night's big league live—yesterday morning, but the TV wasn't on then." ”

For Leo, who is not so determined, insisting on self-isolation is indeed not easy, especially living outside of Los Angeles, he does face a greater temptation than in New Zealand, but Jenny, as one of the producers, does not intend to get used to his faults, she gestures to Mary, and compares it to the big TV in the room, "As long as you can make Salvi satisfied, your TV will come back, and now it's better to forget about the big leagues, unless you want to be kicked out of the crew and replaced by Chris - you know, He was quite interested in the role. ”

For Jenny, the role of Daisy should be handy, and she feels that she can even play the essence of Daisy without the help of Goldfinger, which is what she felt when she read the original book - at the same time, she is also quite enthusiastic about this role, and she does not care that Daisy is actually a villain, and she is completely a supporting role in the whole story. Clayton", this role is quite in line with some of her state of mind, of course, maybe that's her in the past, maybe playing Daisy isn't like playing Coke is an exploration, playing Karen is a catharsis, but playing Daisy is not without charm, and playing Daisy is more like a ...... Self-understanding, like a certain time, a certain side of her confession and communication with the public - admittedly, Jennifer. Jefferson is a very attractive packaged product, and she is only one of the main producers, but after so many years of enthusiasm and support from fans and audiences, Jenny certainly has a desire to communicate with them. Hope, this idea is not rational or realistic, it has been pressed by her in the bottom of her heart, but the * of self-expression is still lingering, and Daisy is more or less her implicit confession, even if it is only through the role, even if no one will receive her message, she still wants to tell everyone silently - in fact, she is not so perfect, at some point in her life, she is Daisy, at least she was Daisy, and she wants to share Daisy's thoughts with everyone, like dedicating a piece of her true self.

"Okay." Leo shrugged his shoulders and could see that his mind had completely returned to the TV, and he pulled out the script, "Actually, even without that TV, I would have liked to come over sooner - the reunion scene was going to be filmed tomorrow, and I felt like I hadn't really gotten into the play yet." ”

Yes, in the original version, your reunion with Daisy was almost a disaster...... Jenny spat out silently, but didn't express her thoughts, "Which paragraph do we start with?" ”

"Let's start like this." Leo had obviously thought about it, "J.J., you go to the bedroom, open the door and come out - Mary, please sit here, I want you to check my expression, you know, speak your mind, just talk about what you see in my performance, what you guess about the relationship between the two men." ”

It's primitive and unpretentious, but it's just right for Salvi's directing style, who is probably the kind of director that actors fear the most – sharp, sharp, and unrelenting, who doesn't compromise or relax what he asks for, and what he asks for has always been very clear: it's a real feeling from the heart, and the actor has to go from the depths of the heart into the state he needs to be, and he must be engrossed in it.

Paying full attention to each one is a demanding requirement for an actor, and Salvi's acumen makes it difficult to get through the tricks. Maguire was almost on the verge of collapse on the first day of joining the group, but he couldn't help but be convinced - there was no communication barrier between him and the actors, he could feel the progress of the actors, and Salvi was very clear about what he wanted, and when Toby really found Nick's state, he immediately shouted good, which was a little dissatisfied with Toby, he felt that he could play better, Salvi was not as strict with him as Leo, it was an eccentricity.

As for Leo, who was favored, he couldn't complain about Salvi's 'special care', at least, he couldn't say anything in front of Jenny, who was very quick to enter the play and passed by. Salvi's standard is here, Heath, Jenny, and even Simon can meet it, and he won't be particularly harsh on Leo, so the two sides have formed something like this. Sadomasochism' relationship, Salvi shouted again and again, using that kind of heart-destroying way to squeeze Leo's true emotions, and Leo also developed a set of local methods, including moving the rehearsal time forward by himself, allowing this devastated state to appear earlier, and asking Mary to judge whether there were traces of performance in his performance, and whether he used the slightest expression to convey the most accurate information.

In fact, theoretically speaking, this kind of rehearsal does not need to be performed by Jenny, because the really awesome performance can be regardless of the object, but obviously, Leo's transformation from 'release' to 'receiving' is difficult enough, whether as a producer or his friend, Jenny feels that she has an obligation to help, so when she returned to the bedroom and was about to enter the room, she even adjusted herself and quickly entered Daisy's role, only then opened the door and slowly walked into the living room with light steps.

Did Daisy ever love Gatsby? I'm afraid this is an eternal question set by The Great Gatsby, but for Jenny, the question couldn't be simpler - at this moment of reunion, Daisy must be in love with Gatsby, and to the extent that her nature allows, she loves Gatsby with all her might, but for Daisy, there are too many things more important than love, her life, the rich, decent life that she has known since childhood, her strangeness and fear of poverty - I'm afraid she never thought that she would be reduced to the point of being penniless, The confusion about this possibility, the education she received, the pressure of her family, all of which made the choice so difficult.

Eventually, as all the daughters of her class do, Daisy chooses a practical path, marries Tom the Abominable, and her wavering before the wedding is a manifestation of Gatsby's love, when she already knows who Gatsby really is: although he was an officer at the time of their meeting (such a young officer is often the privilege of a wealthy son), and his speech and demeanor show a noble background, Gatsby is in fact penniless and can only provide for his wife's extremely embarrassing life - but, even so, Daisy was still hesitating in pain on the eve of the wedding. And a few years later, when she was trapped in an unhappy marriage, and her former lover returned to her life in such a glamorous and arrogant way as a huge rich, Daisy's heart must have ignited a spark - yes, she could not but have some unrealistic hope, that was her only bright color, and she could not help but be apprehensive, time had passed, and now Gatsby had everything, he ...... Will she still be conquered? Was his love for her unwavering? You know, she's not so young anymore, and her cheeks aren't as plump and rosy as they were when she was a girl—

With this extremely complicated feeling, she pushed open the door, and showed her best side in a reserved step, her eyes skimming the room seemingly unintentionally, and lingering on Gatsby for a moment—he was still the same as ever, handsome and thin, and her breath tightened, and his expression, his expression—

"Ugh." Mary said, narrowing her eyes and observing Leo cautiously, "To be honest, I think your expression is a little pompous, Leo, you look like ...... I don't know, you're hungry and you see a hamburger and you're addicted to drugs and see a big pack. Ma - You know, it doesn't look like you're cherishing her, it's more like you're trying to eat her. ”

She turned to Jenny, "But to J.J., you can tell you exactly how she feels, and she's still in love with you -- but she's a little afraid that you won't love her anymore, and I think she might be a little hesitant about the occasion, you know, it's a private tryst, it's generally not so moral, she's a little scared of her husband's reaction, so she's worried, is that right, J.J?" ”

"Almost." Jenny shrugged her shoulders and went back to her usual state. "Again?"

“ok。” Leo wiped his face, as if he had been before he found his form every time, helpless and tired, "Come again." ”

This 'come again' continued more than a dozen times in an hour, and Leo's expression became more and more restrained, but Mary still did not give a positive comment.

"I feel -- I don't know how to say it, I don't think the average person makes that kind of expression on a day-to-day basis, you know, like your Gatsby has mania, it looks scary."

"I think you're a little too excited...... I don't know, it just makes me feel unreal. ”

"Well, it looks like you do like her, I feel that way now, but the biggest problem is - I don't know what to say, I don't think Gatsby is such a character, your performance makes me think he has a pompous personality, but there's a big problem, Daisy shouldn't fall in love with a pompous person, it feels like you're on a different channel from her, you see, she's so elegant - she's a lady in high society, but you look so excited, like ...... Not like the kind of person she'd like anyway. ”

"Gatsby is well-educated, so his reaction should be propriety, isn't it? But you look - I don't know, you just swallowed a little bit less classy. ”

"Well, now you're very polite, but...... I don't know, I haven't felt your love for her from your expression, and liking and love are different. ”

In the end, in Leo's tangled expression, Jenny announced that she would take a half-hour break - she was used to the play, turning on and off her emotions again and again, which was a daily routine on the set for her, especially this kind of experience that fits her own and only needs to make small adjustments, and it is not a problem. However, Leo seems to be on the verge of chaos and needs to sort out his thoughts.

"It's not easy to overcome instinctive reactions, especially if you've already formed a habit." She encouraged Leo, "Your progress is already very noticeable - at first it took us almost two hours to get rid of your habitual outing, but now? After ten minutes, you'll be deliberately starting to converge, and after a few more days of practicing like this, the new performance model should be finalized - we've only been on the show for a week, aren't we? You've made a lot of progress. ”

"But I really can't find that feeling right now," Leo was indeed more frantic today than before, he compared to Mary, "Seriously, for myself, my emotions are in place, and for the last time, I feel like I'm really into my own life - you know, I'm looking at you with the eyes of my ex-girlfriend - but- it's just ......"

"Well......" Jenny said slowly, "then maybe you don't love her that much, do you?" ”

She couldn't help but gossip a little, "Is she Giselle?" Is it? ”

Leo had an embarrassed look on his face - if his love for Giselle would have been judged by Mary as 'not loving her much', his love history over the years seemed more ironic.

“…… It's Giselle," but eventually, he admitted, "it's Giselle, and I really think I've loved her, ok?" We're serious about each other, and she's more than just a play for me. ”

yes, but in the end, she dumped you......

Jenny shrugged her shoulders and didn't ask any further, she had a new idea. "Maybe it's because you don't love her anymore - you've found the wrong projection, a different one, I mean, you're still very much in love with—"

Looking at Leo's expression, she changed her words knowingly, "What you still crave so much, but you can't always get, for example-Oscar-think about it, you're in the same room with Oscar, it's already stripped naked, but there's people all over the world watching, you know, what you can't do-you can't leak your despair, like when you see Chris win the award--your heart is broken, but you still have to applaud-ouch! ”

She laughed and jumped away, and Leo was still elbowing, glaring at Jenny, taking a deep breath, wiping his face again, and snatching the glass from Jenny's hand.

"Let's try again." He said stoically, beckoning Mary from the bathroom door, "Here, let's try again." ”

This time, he still hadn't - but the next time he did.

Next time, next time, next time, next time, he passed it, as if he had found his state, Leo suddenly completely entered the role - even Salvi didn't find any fault on the set the next day, this scene, he passed it over and over again, next, next, next, all 'good! ’

- I have to say that the talent to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at the age of 19 is by no means idle, once he finds the direction and has the motivation to work hard, once the accumulation of many days explodes, Leo is simply out of control - like Jenny, on the set of Salvi, it is extremely rare for two 'one passes' to appear at the same time......
