Section 191 Preparation for the play

Seeing Levy's eyes, Pete laughed a little wryly.

He still remembers that when he first arrived at the crew, he also liked to joke with the women in the crew - filming is a very tiring thing, and some life adjustments are also very good. It's just that the teasing is still fresh in his memory, and while he and Aniston were talking, Levy stood aside, and with just one sentence, they didn't want to talk anymore.

"I'm really curious," Levy's words seemed like a joke at the time, but he looked a little serious, "if you two give birth to a child, how big will your cheeks be...... It is estimated that you don't need makeup to play a hamster. ”

After this joke, Aniston sneered at Levi for a long time, but since then, Pete and Aniston never want to talk to each other anymore - Pete has always thought he is handsome, but his cheeks are relatively large, and it is indeed a fact that he exists, and some people in the media have joked about him. And Aniston does have this problem, although she is considered a beauty, but her face shape is not particularly standard.

Before that, neither of them thought that there was anything strange about each other's appearance, but after Levi's words, when he saw her, Pete always remembered the matter of cheeks, and she felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.

He believes that when Aniston looks at him, he is probably in the same mood. When they see each other, they see not each other's beauty, but their own shortcomings presented to each other, as if the other party has become the embodiment of their ugly side, no matter how you look at it.

Levy probably said this on purpose: he didn't like the actors to do something else because they didn't do well in the crew. I deliberately used harsh language to disturb them.

However, if it's awkward, it's awkward, anyway, the two of them only play for a few minutes. Aniston is just getting a salary of 1 million. The secondary actors who came to the set to shoot for a week, after this time, they were out of sight and out of mind.

In this play, she is not the heroine in the first place, and the meaning of her existence is just to symbolize the pursuit of a peaceful and happy life for Andy, who she plays, and at the same time to arouse the uneasiness in Andy's heart. Maybe big props are her classification.

What she needs to act is no different from acting in other romantic comedies: she only needs to be in the house and talk about her arrangement of her new home. It's okay to talk about your own novel concept - the only difference is that in a romantic comedy, she will get a hug or a sweet talk from her boyfriend, but in this play. What she got was a perfunctory rhetoric. The melancholy evoked by her boyfriend.

These places are actually what makes Pete a little helpless: in the movie, he even has to cheat when he falls in love, and between him and his own woman, he is also perfunctory, more false than true, saying that this is a double hero, and there is no treatment of the protagonist at all. Compared with. Norton's Tony is much better, in the play he not only has the scene of meeting and getting to know the beautiful counselor. There is also the fact that his ex-girlfriend is willing to raise a child for him - saying that he wants to play the demeanor of a successful person, but he is much more successful than himself.

Moreover, the most speechless thing is that even the actor who plays his girlfriend has much better acting skills than the actor who plays his girlfriend.

In the same crew, Pitt quickly figured out one thing: although Aniston has a good image and is very popular with Americans, she really doesn't have much acting skills. It's been almost ten years since she debuted, but she can still only play the sweetheart silly sister in front of the screen, which is also very revealing, even if it is a director like Levy, she can only play this one role.

In contrast, the actor named Naomi, although not very famous, has amazing acting skills. In the play, the difficulty of the character she plays completely exceeds the difficulty of the Aniston role, but she plays it even better.

She is the actor who plays Truman's world and the heroine of Levy's last film. Although he is famous now, he is not a star. I heard that she was still playing some unpopular roles until she was thirty years old, until Levy met her, so that she gradually got better at acting, I have to say that Levy's vision is indeed amazing.

glanced at Naomi, who was sitting on the side and was talking to others, Pete also shook his head with some admiration: Being able to become famous at the age of thirty is really inspirational for this woman.

However, what Pete doesn't know is that when he admires Naomi's excellent acting skills, Naomi is actually quite stressed.

Naomi's role is indeed not simple: in the movie, she needs to play a psychological counselor, and at the same time, she is also the woman who falls in love with Tony in the play. On the one hand, this character has to have the side of a psychological counselor: she needs to find Tony's anxiety, restlessness, and distrust of people in the play, and she treats it. By taking an indifferent attitude towards him, making him think that he doesn't care about his secrets, that it's safe, that he believes in himself, that he rests in his own clinic, that insomnia and anxiety are better, these are what a counselor should do.

At the same time, she also has a side to this woman: while she needs to show that she doesn't care about Tony's secrets, as a woman, she is attracted by Tony's personal charm. Began to develop feelings for him. This kind of relationship can only be made public because of the obstruction of the working relationship, and it cannot be made public until the final moment of confession. This kind of implicit emotion needs to be shown in the movie, so that the plot behind it can not be abrupt.

Originally, the role was limited, and it was necessary to show both sides of this role, which can be regarded as a torment. Although not many people pay attention to the two sides of her character, she has to show it. Naomi found that a character like herself is really not as refreshing and direct as sleeping with a man in some plays: showing love simply and rudely is much easier than playing like this.

However, he can't do that: as an undercover agent, Tony is alienated from society, and he can't enjoy a normal life. As a counselor, you can't hook up with patients indiscriminately.

This is respect for an industry: although even if it is disrespectful, at most it will make the industry association dissatisfied, and complain a few words inconsequentially, but respecting other industries is also a kind of respect for the facts, which is important to Levy.

This role needs to be figured out more. She also saw that Levi wanted to show the characters and the story well, and her characters had to be more realistic and delicate.

It's not easy, but it has to be done: if nothing else, Levy has used herself as the heroine in two consecutive films, and this trust is something that Naomi is quite grateful for.

She knew that she was not Levy's muse, and she couldn't inspire Levy, but Levi kept inspiring her. And she and Levi have no further relationship, so that Levi can focus on himself desperately, although the two of them have cooperated, but only cooperate. In such a situation, Levy is willing to use her as the heroine continuously, which is very surprising.

She still remembers Charlize Leeze, who was invited by Levy to make a guest appearance. Theron, when she heard that she played the heroine, she looked at herself with the kind of scrutinizing and hesitant gaze: she was the earliest actor used by Levy, and it is said that she has a relationship with Levy, but she has never been able to get the opportunity to play the heroine of Levy's movie again, and she has such an opportunity, no wonder she doubts.

I guess in her mind, she also thinks that she and Levi have something to ** - living with yourself is what people like to do, and Levy is indeed not a gentleman that everyone praises, and it is normal for her to have this kind of suspicion.

However, she is willing to doubt, let her doubt it, she can't explain it to her. What is she dissatisfied? Levy even promised her to help her make a movie in the future, can she be jealous of herself? Moreover, she is not the only one who is suspicious, and many media are talking about why Levy, who used to change the heroine in every movie, used the used actors this time. Is she one worse than her in her own discussions? As long as you act well, are you still afraid of others gossiping?

It's just that, having said that, when performing, there is still a lot of trouble. In the movie, she needs to play opposite Norton, and that's the problem.

Norton's appearance can only be said to be average, he does not have a handsome and jealous face, and compared with Pete in the same group, it is quite a bit worse. Because the other party is not handsome, he can't behave like a nymphomaniac because of the other party's looks. The faceless factor is, how to make a character with professional ethics fall in love with a person who is vigilant, suspicious, anxious and even violent about the things around him in just a short contact? This requires him to show extremely high acting skills and give full play to his personal charm.

But two actors play against each other, and one of them soars his personal charm to the limit, so the other is easy to become a supporting role. If Naomi doesn't want to be a supporting character in this performance, if she doesn't want to act like a nymphomaniac in this scene, she has to show her charm.

How to change from a supporting play to a drama is a difficult thing. Edward Norton's acting skills are recognized, and I have to keep up with him and be able to play with him, which is also my own challenge.

"Actually, you can think about talking to the director and adjust the angle of the camera a little bit, and then turn it sideways a little bit to make your facial lines look tougher. Your expression can be more mocking and pitiful to see through all the tricks of the other person, which is in line with who you are and can also highlight your character......"

Sitting next to Naomi and helping Naomi come up with ideas, it was her fellow countryman Heath Ledger, an actor who was ten years younger than her, and to some extent, he was a better genius than her, and he could give her a lot of advice in terms of acting expression, and she also benefited a lot. While playing his part, he was also able to help Naomi prepare for the play, and his brain was obviously good.

"Thank you, I'll think about this paragraph again." After thanking her fellow countrymen, Naomi began to figure out the role again.

With the trust of the director and the help of his companions, his performance this time should be even better. Others want to wonder why they can be the heroine of Levy in a row? Then, it's good to use your strength to explain everything. (To be continued......)
