"How's it going on set?" Wendy. Fenneman bent out of her car and asked the assistant who greeted her, "Is it going well?" How many queen bees didn't sting, did they? ”

"The morning is going well, and David is in a good mood." The assistant whispered in her ear the progress on the set, "The costume department needs to be more careful with the sponsored costumes-"

"That's not the point," Wendy was most concerned about the quality of the shots, "what do you think of Jennifer and Emily?" ”

She didn't worry about Meryl because she couldn't go wrong with her performance – and that's the consensus in the industry.

"Very good." The assistant said sincerely, "The scene where the interview is being filmed in the studio now, do you want to go in and see it?" ”

"Of course." Wendy immediately quickened her pace, she had just contacted several big-name executives in the morning, and she couldn't help but complain to her assistant when she was a little tired, "You should have told me this earlier." ”

As soon as she stepped into the studio, she stopped complaining, and lowered her footsteps, and instead of joining the crowd, she found a spot in a spare corner and watched Andy and Miranda's interview scene. ――This is also the first confrontation between the two in the whole film.

"Who are you?" Wendy arrives just by coincidence, Emily has just left the scene, the cameraman adjusts the camera position along the slide, and Miranda also turns from her seat, takes off her glasses and looks at Andy.

Due to the camera angle, Wendy saw the side of Jennifer and Meryl, and she didn't see it as clearly as the camera, that is, it was presented so clearly on the big screen at the end, but even so, Miranda's momentum still grabbed Wendy's heart in the first time, she could hear the feeling of condescension from Miranda's tone, and even felt that she was looking Andy up and down with her world-experienced eyes, although Miranda didn't move much, Wendy couldn't see her facial expressions clearly, But the message of her body language is hard to mispronounce even from such a distance: Miranda is ridiculous, even amused, by Andrea, the ugly duckling who strayed into Swan Lake.

"I'm Andrea. Sykes, I'm here to apply for your assistant. Andy's attitude was very rude, and his tone was stiff and tense. This made Wendy frown a little - Jennifer was still very soft, even a little flattering, when she read the script.

But neither David nor Meryl seemed to have any objection to Jennifer's performance, and Miranda, or Meryl, seemed to be more interested in her, and she looked at Andy a few more times, and then changed her sitting position and picked up a newspaper, "Hmph." ”

Andy seemed to be more enraged, she cleared her throat and took a step forward, and Emily let out a gasp and a horrified look in the office - Wendy suddenly realized that this was also something that was not in the script. "If you can deign to glance at my resume, you'll see that I'm a graduate of Northwestern University, I've got an offer from Stanford Law School, but I'd rather be a journalist. Obviously, Skybridge's HR department thought my resume was good enough for the job of calling you and pouring coffee. ”

According to the original script, Andy was only provoked after Miranda read the newspaper, but after Wendy watched the live performance - when she came back to it, she thought that the current version was also good, Andy was a smart girl, and from the people and things she encountered since she entered the editorial department, she should be able to tell that she couldn't get the job, so she broke the jar.

Well...... Wendy suddenly realizes that she can also understand Andy's emotions and thoughts more clearly than she can understand Miranda's thoughts and intentions. Despite just these two lines of dialogue, Andy has fully revealed her personality, she is excellent, agile, self-esteem, confident, even overconfident, still very young and aggressive towards society...... These complex human natures are like billboards floating on Andy, instilled into her mind with her every word. Wendy effortlessly understands her background, personality, and even strengths and weaknesses. In her heart, Andy's image is already more vivid than Miranda.

She sniffled in surprise, and even gave Jennifer a strange look: it's not easy to do this. After all, although she is the main character, Andy's initial setting is not glamorous, and now she is even a little ugly compared to Jennifer herself, compared to Emily with heavy makeup, and the meticulously crafted Miranda, Andy's current appearance is inconspicuous - but with her performance, she firmly maintained her presence in front of Meryl and Emily, and still became the focus of attention.

A person's acting skills are good, not that every role will be interpreted with charming style and poured out all beings, that is called a narrow road, and a good actor can firmly grasp the audience's attention even if he plays a trash can. Like Meryl, she only appeared for twenty minutes in "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer," but in that film she made an impression almost as much as the male lead actor Dustin. Hoffman is on par. The same is true for Jennifer now, Andy is not charming, she is a little fat and her words are not very pleasant, almost a little rude, but ...... She can snatch the audience's attention away from Meryl and Emily, and she can make people feel that her rudeness also has a different kind of charm, which is indescribable, and she has the urge to rewind and rewatch it.

"This girl's performance seems to be on a higher level than "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Notebook of Love"!" Wendy was taken aback and thought, "Is this possible?" It's been less than eight months since she finished filming "The Notebook"! And that's not a very difficult film! ”

As a producer, Wendy has been exposed to a wide variety of things during her career. Erotic / actor, before and Tom. Hanks has worked with a big name like her, but the speed of progress is as terrifying as Jennifer's actress, Wendy found out for the first time that refusing to believe in miracles is the instinct of normal people, and she is already finding reasons for Jennifer, "Maybe she is in a particularly good state today, maybe Meryl is not in her best state, of course, this is also a good thing for the film, no matter which character is charming, it is the success of the film, if it is the protagonist, of course it is better......"

In her cranky thoughts, the interview scene was completed and David called out "Good!" with satisfaction. At one point, Wendy and a few leading actors leaned over to the monitor and watched the replay.

After seeing a close-up of Andy's face on a small screen, Wendy found that she couldn't help but admit it: if this was a relationship with the state, then Jennifer's state today would be so good that it would be against the sky. Although Andy's mediocre face on the small screen of the monitor is far less attractive than Miranda's small window at first glance, she can't help but turn her attention to Andy's small window, embarrassed by her embarrassment - her performance makes people substitute for Andy at once, even if Wendy clearly knows the direction of the plot, but at this moment she can't help but worry about Andy's fate.

This is a scene that robbed Meryl......

With a silent exclamation in her heart, Wendy turned her eyes to Meryl: her performance was flawless, almost blameless, but in front of Andy, Miranda's weaker character began to come to the fore...... Even if it is just a change of actors, the audience will see Miranda's compelling side in this scene, but in front of Jennifer's performance, Wendy feels that Meryl is limited to Miranda's extreme character and has limited room to play, and Jennifer steals the limelight.

In Hollywood, many directors are temperamental, and some can even be said to be crazy, but all of them who can be producers are people who are skilled in human feelings, why can't Wendy see that Meryl has been questioning Jennifer's acting skills? It's just not explicit. Now the first scene was robbed by Jennifer, although Jennifer didn't say anything, no one said anything, but this result itself is a riposte to Meryl, Wendy can't help but worry about Meryl's reaction, the most headache of women's scenes is this, if the three actresses have a bad relationship with each other, it is conceivable how much trouble there will be on the set.

To her assurance, Meryl only seemed a little thoughtful, but not annoyed - perhaps stealing the limelight was just her hallucination, and Meryl herself was satisfied with her performance.

No matter what the onlookers think, no one will stir up trouble in front of Wendy and David, everyone started to record the next scene after watching the playback, that is, the plot of Annie's first day at work, after the actors changed their clothes and makeup, the filming work started again, everything went according to plan, almost all three actresses passed by 1Take, and recording a few more was also for the convenience of post-editing.

Wendy watched with her hands in her hands, gradually letting go of her worries about the relationship and appreciating the sparkling conversation between Emily, Miranda, and Andy. These three extremely talented actresses use their eyes, bodies, and words to compete with each other on multiple levels at the same time, and this bloodless battle makes Wendy's heart tremble, and at the same time, she is worried that they will be ready to fake the play, bring one side of the play to life, or just the other way, bring the emotions of life to the play. It is this thrill of walking on the edge of danger that makes this producer, who is accustomed to seeing scenes, gradually become a little excited. - It's fun enough to be able to recruit a talented actor into her own film, but now it's three such actors competing in her film! Such a picture even made Wendy feel a peculiar sense of glory.

"It's going to be a classic." In between shouting Cut, David leaned over and whispered, "I have a hunch that this will become my masterpiece." ”

"Tell me you and I think the same thing." Wendy muttered expressionlessly.

"I'll be sure if you say that." David laughed with relief and excitement, "I'm thinking the same thing as you are - tell me what you think." ”

"It's only the first day of filming." Wendy didn't want to give permission right now, "Let's see!" ”

But she had already begun to orchestrate the rhythm of the whole thing in her head - though she hadn't had any idea of it before, but ...... Why not...... If everything is the same as today's shooting, or even better, this event, the Oscars, is not completely impossible......

Due to the low budget of the crew, it is impossible to support long-term group shooting, and the laid-back atmosphere of the blockbuster crew does not exist in the "Prada" crew, Jenny worked for eight hours on the first day, just at the point of the legal working hours, and the reason why she did not rush work is probably because the crew cannot afford to pay overtime.

At the end of the day's filming, the actors of course remove their makeup, change their clothes, and then go back to the hotel or go to dinner separately, then it's up to them. Jenny made an appointment tonight with Rob, who was back in New York for a break. Marshall and Agata were still in a hurry to eat together, but when she hurried back to her trailer, she had to stop - Meryl was waiting for her at the door of her trailer with her two daughters.

"Luisa is your fan." After the play, although she still has gray hair, Meryl is completely an ordinary mother figure in front of her children - although she is still an impatient child, her spirit is still there, but she has a mother's unique triviality and nagging. "Ever since she knew I was going to play against you, she clamored to take a picture with you, and by the way, she asked for your autograph."

"Oh, it's my pleasure!" Even if she had any opinions about Meryl, Jenny couldn't possibly show her face to the child, and besides, the vaguely antagonistic relationship between them didn't involve personal feelings. Jenny hurriedly showed a smile and did fan service intimately.

and Louisa. After Gumo took a group photo and signed it, Mary. Gu Mo left with his sister first, Meryl did not leave, but showed an appreciative smile and praised Jenny, "You did very well today, girl, I can't help but say, you are full of surprises." ”

"Thank you." Jenny was somewhat suspicious - Meryl's attitude was so friendly that it almost made a 180-degree turn, which almost made her suspicious......

Seeing Meryl smiling and nodding, she finally affirmed Meryl's intentions, "You deliberately put pressure on me before!" ”

"I can't help but do that," Meryl explained, leaning against the door of the trailer in a dashing manner, "and I could sense it when I read the script, that you were skeptical about the project, and of course I had heard some of the comments you'd made before, and that you gave me the feeling that you weren't confident that your acting skills could sustain the character of Andy — or that you weren't confident that you could sustain a complex Andy in front of me." ”

Jenny couldn't deny her suspicions, which were all concerns she did have.

"Emily has nothing, so she dares to fight, and your withdrawal is understandable, this kind of thinking is common among young actors who have a certain reputation, but there is no award, Andy is indeed the most difficult movie role you have ever played, but I have seen your musical," Meryl explained with a smile, "Don't forget, I live in New York - I think you can play Andy well, you just need some help, some excitement, you need to be more confident in yourself." ”

Jenny didn't know what to say, "Meryl, thank you—"

"It's just for the movies." Meryl said frankly and bitterly, "I will do everything to ensure the quality of the movies I appear in, after all, you know, I don't want to see my name associated with bad movies." ”

Having said that, she exchanged a close and appreciative smile with Jenny, who straightened her back and replied mentally, "Then I'll do everything I can to keep Prada away from the Golden Sour Plum Award!" ”

She relaxed again and invited Meryl, "I'm going to talk to Rob tonight. Marshall, Agatta. Lepnin eats together, maybe you and the children......
