Section 143 Competition

"For the post-production of the film, I wish it had taken longer. Apex Novel.xstxt.org. If possible, I want to do as well as I can. I think it will take about two months to complete the production. If it goes well, I think it would be great if it will be released in May. ”

The movie is about to finish: listen to Levy, Naomi. Watts also had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.

With Jim Carrey playing better and better, the filming of the movie is getting faster and faster. After the time entered January, the film, which had been filmed for more than three months, also came to an end.

That's the end of it...... Naomi is quite nostalgic for the end of the movie. As the first big-budget movie she starred in, she would rather shoot this movie for a while longer - it feels great to be the heroine.

It's nice to be able to discuss drama with a bunch of big names every day, and to be able to work with celebrities like Jim Carrey and Levy.

However, after the movie is finished, it is time for me to leave. Naomi sighed, listening to Levy's words and thinking about her next steps.

"This movie is finished, do you have any new movies to shoot?"

Naomi, who was thinking, didn't notice that Levy had finished speaking. And as soon as he finished speaking, he found Naomi. His question brought Naomi back to her senses, "No...... I guess it might be better when this movie is released. ”

Naomi is not a big-name star after all, although acting in Levy's movies has also made her into the eyes of some media and showbiz people, but how her acting skills are, people still have to watch the movie to be able to make conclusions. Now she is still having a hard time finding a job, at least, her agent has not yet informed her that she has received many film offers for other plays.

"It's going to take a long time......" Hearing her words, Levy was also stunned for a moment.

"It's nothing, my salary for filming this time is 100,000. For $100,000, I can live until the movie is released. ”

Even if it is the same movie, because the actors are worth different values, the salaries given are very different. Jim Carrey got 15 million, which can be regarded as taking her own initiative to reduce her salary, while Naomi only has a salary of 100,000, but this is almost twice as much as she shoots other movies.

She said it freely, but Levi shook his head, "That's not good, if you need it, I might be able to arrange some work for you." It's just not quite for you...... You and Amy Adams seem to be on good terms? So, how about arranging for you to make a cameo appearance at the airport for the CSI crew? ”

"CSI crew? Of course it's good! ”

Hearing Levy's words, Naomi immediately became excited: although Levi didn't think it was a good arrangement, Naomi had already regarded this as the best arrangement: a cameo in a popular TV series, and this opportunity was not so easy to find.

"Just, why? Why did you give me such an opportunity? ”

Naomi is still a little puzzled: during the filming of the movie, the director trusts himself, that is the director's courage, but the movie is finished. Why did he treat himself like this?

"Because I think you can be a better actor, you have a lot of potential, and I don't want you to take a detour."

Levy explains: Naomi is different from Theron and Winona. Theron and Winona have also faced their share of lows. But even in the trough, they have the courage to move forward, their trough period is very short, and they still have sharp edges and corners. And Naomi's journey was too bumpy, and she herself was a little confused. With her edges and corners smoothed out, it's easy to make the wrong choice.

This period of contact. has already made Levi understand her a little: this actor has a very easy-going temper and is very easy to get along with, and such a person is also very likely to be deceived by others.

"I said don't let you take a detour, that is, I hope you don't make some movies that you shouldn't shoot because of money or some false fame - Naomi, you are beautiful, a girl like you, once you become famous, it is easy to face all kinds of movie invitations. There are commercial films, there are literary films, and there are also some messy things. Maybe someone wants you to be a screaming queen, maybe someone wants you to be a cream princess, maybe someone wants you to be a sexy beauty. You have a lot of options, and I hope that the best option for you to go. ”

Naomi in memory has chosen the wrong path more than once. Levy didn't want her talent to be drained after ten years of being buried, so he helped her.

"It's all just because I'm good at acting?" Naomi asked rhetorically.

"That's right."

Levy's frankness left Naomi silent for a moment. She doesn't know how true or false Levy's words are, but what she knows in her heart is that if someone really invites her to act in a horror movie, or a low-IQ romance film, or a meat slice, she may not refuse - ten years of experience has made her lower limit standard very low, she doesn't think that filming those scenes is very bad, and after experiencing the days when there is no filming, garbage films will be regarded as treasures.

But now, Levy has clearly told her: she can be better, she can be a better actress, and she shouldn't waste her talent.

This is what it's like to be appreciated: for ten years, no one said they were talented, and not even those garbage films would find themselves. And now, a top director will directly tell himself that he doesn't have to care about those garbage movies, but should only focus on top movies, and his goal should be top actors.

These words can really inspire people, no wonder there is a lot of love on Hollywood sets, if a little girl who has never been in the world hears these words, she can't help but throw herself into her arms, right?

Naomi laughed, she wasn't a little girl anymore, of course she wouldn't be moved by this, she reached out and slapped Levy's arm, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'm going to be the best actor." But if I'm the best actor, then you're the best director - you're going to have to put me in the top position, and I need your help. ”

"Of course there's no problem with this - I'm also an experienced actress who is a popular actress."

Levy's smile was filled with confidence: a confidence that was not unfounded, especially now, when Winona had just been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Dramatic Musical Film, and was a big hit.

In Levy's memory, the 1999 Golden Globe Award for Actress in a Comedy Musical, as well as an Oscar, were awarded to Gwyneth. But Gwyneth Paltrow's Best Actress has always been known as the most watery actress. This title has always made Levy a little strange: it stands to reason that there have been many parallel heroines over the years, such as Helen Hunt last year, when she was elected, she was ridiculed as 'an American and a group of Britons competing for an American award', which is also synonymous with parallel imports, but why is Gwyneth recognized as one of the most parallel imports?

This question, when I saw the list of nominees, Levy also understood: Kate of "Isabella". Blanchett, "Grand Central Station's Flander". Montrelo, Meryl of "Family Affection is Priceless". Streep, the heroine of "She's Lonelier Than Fireworks" Emily. Watson, "Electronic Love Letters" heroine Meg Ryan, "I'm Crazy for Mary" heroine Cameron. Diaz ......

It can be said that none of the acting skills of this group of nominees are worse than Gwyneth, and it can even be said that among these people, her acting skills are at the bottom.

Blanchett's "Isabella" is her famous work and her pinnacle work, although Levy has always accused Blanchett of acting like a queen in everything, but it cannot be denied that she is not picky in this play. And Emily Watson, the heroine of "She's Lonelier Than Fireworks", is also an excellent actor, and in Levy's memory, "Angel Amelie" was even written for her. The star of "Grand Central Station", trick granny Flanda. Montrelo also brought her play to life, and in various awards around the world, except for the Frenchman's CΓ©sar Award for "Life Belle", the other awards were basically all given high praise to "Grand Central Station", which can be said to be the best foreign language film of the year. As for Meryl. Streep and others, needless to say, are excellent actors, a group of manpower, but Gwyneth Paltrow's acting skills are nothing at all.

The most intuitive is a simple comparison: Joseph, who also starred in the love history of Isabella and Shakespeare. Fiennes, when playing against Gwyneth, almost always pressed Gwyneth. And when Cate Blanchett played against him, he was pressed by Blanchett almost all the time, and was even ridiculed by the media as 'he is not playing a lover, but a younger brother'. Similarly, Judi Dench only appeared in the movie for five minutes, but her acting aura completely overwhelmed Gwyneth and received great praise, which is also obvious to all.

It stands to reason that being overwhelmed by both the male and supporting actresses in the play, and the competition they face is so fierce, no matter how you look at it, there is no hope. But in Levy's memory, she won the award......

No wonder people say she's the most watery: this victory is too inexplicable.

However, knowing the future and looking back, Levy can only sigh that some people's lives are really good: Meryl has won the Oscar, and this is a disadvantage when she participates in the evaluation again, while Blanchett, Montreero, Emily. Watson's nationalities are Australian, Brazilian and British......

Why don't Americans take care of the Americans?

Now, it seems, things are different.

She has been famous for a longer time, has more seniority, is well-connected, and plays the story of her own country, the story of New York - Winona Ryder was also nominated, she does not have the disadvantages of these people, on the contrary, she plays modern New York, and Gwyneth, although she is American, plays a British play. Gwyneth's advantage has now become a disadvantage.

After losing the help of those objective conditions, Gwyneth seems so uncompetitive, and Winona is now a sure winner of this award. (To be continued......)
