Chapter 87: The Romance Is Exposed

One of the kiss scenes often played in movies is that Josh does this to Jenny, distracting him, and then taking advantage of his inattention to kiss up. [This book is by] starring handsome men and beautiful women in the movie, and it is very exciting when the love is sincere, but usually, the movie has been beautified to a certain extent, and the reality is not so beautiful.

β€œouch!”

Because Jenny turned her head quickly, Josh was a little anxious, the noses of the two bumped together, and they both screamed in pain, Jenny covered her nose and her eyes were hazy, and after the sour tears faded, she quickly found a mirror to take a look, and saw that her nose was not crooked, so she glared at Josh complainingly, "The first time is to focus on regular exercises, okay?" ”

Josh smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay. ”

The second attempt was much more normal, the two actors looked at each other, brewing emotions, Josh touched Jenny's chin, and his hand naturally swam to the back of his head, with a little force, Jenny and he were close, and their lips were glued together, like a very casual light kiss between lovers.

As a young woman of normal age, with legitimate needs, and who has not communicated with another male individual for a long time, this is indeed a small irritation, Jenny is not a vangelist, so she does not dare to admit that this is a very pleasant kiss, but she didn't say anything, but pursed her lips and took the DV player on the table, "Let's see the replay." ”

Just like when they were filming, the actors liked to watch the replay on the monitor after the play, and now the monitor has become a small screen of the DV machine, and Josh and Jenny are very professional to watch the performance of the two, and there is no embarrassment when they first started working together - even if there is, they are familiar enough to hide it well. In the past few months, in order to make enough foreshadowing for the exposure of the relationship, there are not many opportunities for the two of them to meet, and there are also a few times when they meet alone, maybe in the first or two times, everyone is still a little jerky, but this is the same as filming, and it is not appropriate to do too much, now it is a reason to rehearse before filming the kiss scene, everyone is a job, you feel embarrassed but it seems that your mind is not pure, and it is a little ambiguous.

"It's really necessary to rehearse in advance." Josh touched his nose, "This kiss is ......"

He waved his hand, "You can't fool a child." ”

Although in the movie, two strangers can kiss sparks, kissing as passionate as a couple over time, but that is the result of angle selection and post-retouching, normal couples street photography can actually interpret a lot of information, so fake love is not so easy to talk about, if you don't get along with this 'aura', even if you are filmed, it is difficult to gain credibility, tabloids, readers will think that this is a hype couple, and the aura is actually manifested in body language, composed of many micro-movements and micro-expressions, Judy said that many fake couples in Hollywood are actually half-truths and half-truths, anyway, they are all handsome men and beautiful women, and they don't suffer a few shots from each other, so they don't have a burden when they go out on the street together, and the effect is good.

Of course, there is another purpose of pre-shooting, which is to find a way to take photos to kiss more beautifully, after all, her love with Josh should be a big news now, if the photos published by the small press are all photos of Josh and her passionate but very indecent kiss, this will not have a good impact on their popularity, maybe it will become a public laughing stock, the target of ridicule by celebrities.

Although they have never been a director, but they have never eaten pork and watched pig runs, Josh and Jenny practiced for about 20 minutes, and by reviewing the video, they have roughly found the feeling, determined the kissing posture, and finally decided that the two should not use the kissing method of the front forehead, so as not to press the nose together, and the side of the side, the left and right sides are photogenic.

"Jenny." Mary comes knocking on the trailer door. "You've got to touch up your makeup."

"Ok, here we go." Jenny wiped her mouth, "I'm leavingβ€”do you need to talk to Claudia and let her come to you?" ”

In "Pirates of the Caribbean", she felt that Claudia was a good makeup artist who could retouch her beautifully, knowing that Claudia had recently lost her job, Jenny pulled her into the crew by the way.

"Uh, no." Josh said awkwardly, putting his legs together to cover the inevitable after-effects of twenty minutes of practice, "I'll just wait for you in the trailer." ”

"Are you sure you're going to wait or not? Then it's more involved in the role. Jenny walked to the door of the trailer and came back with a mischievous look back and quipped, "Don't stain the carpet!" ――And the toilet in the car! ”

Without waiting for Josh to reply, she smiled and closed the trailer door and went to the dressing room with Mary for the next thrill. Make-up for the love scene.

#

The story structure of "The Notebook" is actually quite simple, and it is a purely commercial film, without the appeal of expression and deconstruction. Judging from the original film, Jenny believes that this film is a celebration of true love, Noah and Elle are divided and combined, and there are countless ups and downs, from young to old, they were first blocked by family, war, relatives, illness and other obstacles, but in the end they still completed their insistence on true love with the help of fate, and finally passed away hand in hand. What impresses the audience in this film is not in the complex narrative technique, the satirical story connotation, or how dazzling the actors' acting skills are, it is completely one point: love and truth.

As a viewer who doesn't like to watch romance movies, she admitted that she couldn't help but start shedding tears when she saw the last paragraph, when the elderly Elle lost her memory after a short recovery, and panicked to avoid the elderly Noah. As soon as the tear valve was opened, she cried until the end of the film, this crying is a kind of envy and moving crying, few people can encounter such sincere feelings in real life, Jenny thinks that compared to the young Noah and Elle, the old group can still love each other so much after losing their beautiful and handsome appearance and becoming an ordinary old man, which touches her more - of course, ordinary is also relatively speaking, and the elderly Elle is still a very beautiful old lady.

Why is the senior group more moving? After repeatedly studying the performance of the two age groups, Jenny believes that it is the relationship between acting. Especially the actor of the elderly Noah, James. Garner, this is definitely a very expressive old actor, his performance makes the audience can't say what is good, but it is very natural to bring people into the play, so that the audience can experience his deep affection for his wife, and the sincerity of this feeling makes the end of the whole film the most infectious part. In this way, when the audience leaves the cinema, their hearts are still filled with beautiful touches, as well as envy of this true love, and the reputation is of course not bad.

The young group is responsible for some of the contradictions and conflicts, showing the story of the two after they are attracted to each other, and the true feelings they want to show are the strong attraction and temptation from true love, as well as the carefree and happy feeling from the bottom of their hearts when they are with true love. Jenny thought Ryan and Rachel were doing well when she watched it for the first time, but after taking over the film, she felt that there was still a certain gap between their performance and the senior group - not bad, just not good enough.

She hasn't seen Ryan's film at all, so I won't say it, Rachel may have just debuted at that time, so her acting skills are still a little immature, although she can see that there is chemistry between her and Ryan, but her Ellie gives Jenny a feeling that there is too little expression, which is a judgment that is difficult to express, to be exact, there is no play in Rachel's eyes, there is no difference between her eyes looking at Noah and looking at her later fiancΓ© Hammond, if you take a screenshot of the two pictures, let people distinguish, It is estimated that most people can't tell if this is for her true love Noah, or if she doesn't really love Hammond, but just likes it a little.

Compared with Rachel, Ryan's acting skills also have the same problem, but it is much slighter, Ryan's eyes are very dramatic most of the time, but the shots that the director may give in the finished film are not good, there are some silent scenes, and the information should be filled and conveyed by Ryan's expression, but what the audience sees is just a close-up of Ryan's handsome (Jenny doesn't think much about it) and melancholy, what kind of mood does this close-up convey? Can't tell.

As far as Jenny's memory goes, Ryan's acting skills should not be bad in the future, because he has been nominated for an Oscar, no matter how much this nomination is, at least you have to have a certain amount of acting skills to get it, let's just say that the actor of the elderly Noah James. Ghana, his acting skills are very good, at least he is worthy of starring in this film, so she is still very confident in Ryan's learning ability, and she has no intention of reining in her acting skills to avoid pressing the scene - since she has to act, she must act better, and the progress of the actors is not all honed in the play with high-level actors? She hopes and believes that Ryan and her can play some fleshed out character personality in addition to that kind of chemistry of sincere calling. For example, Ellie's mood change and Ryan's change of heart do not need dialogue, these changes are vulgar with dialogue, but they can be reflected with changes in eyes and expressions.

Of course, this also caused the slow progress of the filming of "The Love Notebook", as well as the tension between director Cassowitz and Ryan, Cassavetz himself is an actor, and of course he is very sensitive to the phenomenon of pressure on the scene, he can't accuse Jenny, the biggest name in the crew, of acting too well, so he can only sprinkle his anger on Ryan again and again, and has privately complained several times 'Can't this child star of Disney's Mickey Mouse Club sing honestly?' Or maybe honestly dating his girlfriend? ’。

This was a sore sore foot for Ryan, because Britney, who was at the same time as him. Spears, Justin. Timberlake and Christina. Aguilera is already a β–‘β–‘ star, and he is far from being famous in the film industry now, and his former popularity has not left much, and people prefer to call him 'Sandra' rather than his former Mickey Mouse Club member. Brock's little boyfriend'. The crew even rumored that the opportunity for him to get this starring role was the result of Sandra's enthusiastic recommendation.

However, the future Oscar winner is indeed extraordinary, Ryan withstood the pressure of being pressed by Jenny, but he has not admitted defeat, but has a bit of a gritted teeth and hard work, a scene is not satisfied with the director today, and Ryan's performance will be filmed the next day It will make people have nothing to say, although the director is still a little dissatisfied, but there is no room for pickiness. However, the direct consequence of this crew atmosphere is that the relationship between Ryan and Jenny is getting colder and colder, the two don't have much to do with each other, and now they don't even talk much, and they go back to their own trailers after the play, and there is almost no communication. Jenny always felt that Ryan was holding back a lot of energy, so she planned to press her one day to be satisfied.

Unfortunately, Ryan hasn't found that opportunity so far, especially today's Agitation. The love scene, the director's satisfaction with her and his dissatisfaction with Ryan are all written on his face.

β€œogood。” He stopped for the third time, "Ryan, look at Jenny's shot." ”

Ryan and Jenny both put on the nightgowns handed by the staff and leaned over to the director to watch the replay, and the footage of several cameras returned to the monitor, respectively to Jenny and Ryan's full body and face close-up. Since it is unedited, the four shots are the whole process of two people undressing separately - of course, Jenny and Ryan have done protective measures, and the effect is about the same as wearing bikinis and swimming trunks, and the key parts are tightly protected by tape, which will never go away, and there is no need to be shy.

"You see Jenny's expression changing, let's look at the close-up of the face first," Kasowitz said, "I can tell her how far you have taken off now, at first you took off your coat -- Elle thought it was funny, fresh, she also took off her shirt, and then your undershirt, Elle began to get excited, pay attention, look carefully, look at Elle's pupils, a little narrowed, that's sex. One of the hallmarks of the evocation is that she looks like she's doing something bad -- like you're taking your first bite of him in college. big. Hemp! After you take off your pants, Elle starts to panic a little, pay attention, this is another change of expression, because you take off your underwear, this is the first time she has seen this organ, so she is a little scared, but she is curious, and can't help but peek. If you remember, this expression is exactly the same as the one you took when you first met, which was shot in Camera 3 two weeks ago. ”

He amplifies Ryan's performance, "And you, you simply show two emotions, nervous, attracted, that's your expression, of course, it's the right emotion, but you don't show a reaction to her expression, and you notice that in the close-up of the expression throughout the whole process, there is also Ellie's shyness about revealing herself and her confidence and disconfidence in her feminine charm, which are all written on her face." But your close-up shows us two emotions, and for a minute, I can see that your tension is rising, and by the end you are already shaking slightly - nice expressiveness, and you are very savvy as a newcomer. ”

After a rare affirmation of Ryan, Kasowitz continued, "But a minute like this can make the audience feel monotonous, and from your expression I can't tell what step she has taken off, what the hell are you thinking now, tell me what Noah is thinking now." ”

Ryan said in a calm tone, "Noah has realized that he is spending less and less time with Ellie, this may be his only chance, he can vaguely feel his despair and worry under the passion, but Noah will not give up." At the same time, Noah is completely immersed in getting along with Ellie, and these worries are just the background. ”

"Good." Kasowitz couldn't help but praise Ryan, "You just want to convey these messages through your expressions, with your eyes, your muscles around your eyes, move them, use them!" ”

Ryan looked pensive, and Kasawitz announced a fifteen-minute break before starting rehearsals, and it was clear that he had lost faith in the shot and was not prepared to take the camera again and again, draining the photographer's energy.

Photographers, scene reporters, etc. all walked away to drink water and eat snacks, but the two actors could not rest because of this, but had to go to the sidelines to be checked by the makeup artist to see if they needed to touch up their makeup. In the love scene, Jenny has body foundation all over her body, and she needs to touch up her makeup frequently under the light.

"Honey, you must tell me how you take care of your skin." Makeup artist Andy squatted down β–‘ to touch up the foundation on her arm, and said enviously, "It's hard to imagine that you don't have dark spots." ”

"Sun protection is the only answer." Jenny casually said that this is a good habit she brought from her previous life, when she was not famous before, she had to wear an umbrella and sunscreen clothing when she went out at noon, even if she was regarded as a weirdo by passers-by, she didn't care at all, and it was inconvenient to do so after becoming famous, but she rarely had the opportunity to walk in the sun for a long time during the day, so she changed to apply sunscreen specially purchased from East Asia. Because suntanning is a rare concept in Europe and the United States, sunscreens in Europe and the United States are almost all sunburn-proof and not sunburn-proof.

Of course, this makes her skin a little pale, and she often has to put on body foundation, but this is also better than being sunburned with spots on her body, not to mention that Caucasians are the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. If the other party is still a little obese, let alone think about it, you can reduce your appetite.

Her theory really couldn't get Andy's approval, these makeup artists would never associate dark spots with sun exposure, let alone consider the extremely high carcinogenic rate of indoor tanning services, Andy himself was tanned, but she didn't talk to Jenny, but changed the topic and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your success in making Ryan hate you a little more today." ”

Jenny glanced at Ryan, who was sitting in the other corner with his eyes closed, and while asking people to touch up his makeup, she smiled, "Actually, Ryan learns quite quickly." ”

"Of course, but you're doing better." Claudia, who touched up her face, said the two exchanged a friendly smile.

"If it's usual, of course, it's a fair game." Andy's tone became a little gossipy, "But today I don't think it's fair to Ryan - someone's lips are a little red a little abnormally, and it looks like they've warmed up well before filming begins." ”

She is completely implying that there is a situation between Jenny and Josh, but it is also a normal speculation, "The Notebook" has a small budget, and the filming was selected in a suburb of Los Angeles County, hundreds of kilometers away from Los Angeles City.

Jenny and Claudia looked at each other, and Claudia didn't have any special expression, but bent down, "eyes looking upβ€”"

Taking advantage of the eyeliner, Jenny successfully skipped the topic, Andy didn't get to the bottom of it, and went straight to drink water and rest after finishing the work, Claudia was packing the makeup case on the side, Jenny cleared her throat and said with some embarrassment, "If you think ...... You know, I'm sorry. ”

"It's not your problem at all." Claudia closed the makeup case, shook her head, and smiled sincerely, "I just want to thank you for your continued understanding and support, this is not something you have to do." ”

"Since you're already a friend, don't say anything like that." Jenny's impression of Claudia has always been good, this girl is low-key, sensible, professional, and very calm, and has never released any hostility towards her, objectively speaking, this is indeed rare for a woman of average appearance. "Are you sure you can accept working on the set?"

"Yes." As if to hear something unexpected, Claudia raised her eyebrows and replied in an inquiring tone.

"Then I think I have a job offer for you," Jenny has had this idea for a long time, she said, "You know, I've always needed a personal stylist, and although I hired Julian, he can't come to me every day to help me with these details, so I can only do it remotely, and I think if I have someone around me who can connect with him, we will all have a lot easier." And I've always loved the makeup you put on me. ”

will make this offer, Jenny also has several considerations, first, she and Josh will soon start a public relationship, if Josh still likes to take Claudia, they will attract some doubts sooner or later, it is better to give Claudia an identity, second, she does have this need, Claudia's professional level is also satisfactory. And the third is that she thinks Claudia is not easy, if she doesn't take the job, at least during the relationship between the two of them, it is unlikely that Josh and her will meet in private. Whether it's to reduce risk or to reassure Claudia that she is her own stylist, they can go out together often, and reporters won't be suspicious of Josh and Claudia talking and laughing or meeting in private, unless it's a completely unexplained over-the-top photo, it's hard to believe that Josh is going to have something to do with his old friend and makeup artist who introduced him to his girlfriend β€” and looks average.

Claudia obviously didn't expect Jenny to bring up this matter, she was obviously stunned, Jenny looked at her sympathetically, she felt that Claudia must love Josh very much, so she would hold on for so long, you must know that Josh has been cleaning for more than a year. "You don't have to reply to me now, think about it."

Leaving Claudia a little space, Jenny walked over to Ryan and sat down on an empty high chair.

"Hey."

"Hey." Ryan replied sullenly, not in the mood to talk. It's Kevin next to him. Connolly said kindly, "Hi Jenny, you're so beautiful today." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Jenny grimaced at him, "Now I know why you came to the show early." ”

She didn't despise Kevin because he was just playing a supporting role, this little man had a mediocre star career but a strong connection, he was Leonardo and Toby. Maguire's friend, if Jenny remembers correctly, will play the starring role in the HBO drama "Star Buddies" from next year, and he can be regarded as a successful actor with his own TV series, and Jenny used to like his role in the play.

"Yes, I was hoping you would do it a few more times." Kevin laughed and said, "By the way, I heard that Josh is here too, will he stay for the night?" There's a party tonight, and you two can come over together. ”

Seeing his eyes twinkle, Jenny knew his intentions, and she laughed, "Are you inquiring about something?" ”

"I didn't." Kevin made a defensive gesture and smiled again, "Do I have it?" ”

"Go," Jeanne said, chases him away, "it's about to start, do you really want to stay and watch?" ”

Kevin just got in and got some snacks to eat, and he didn't really want to watch the filming, he was driven away by Jenny with a smile. Jenny turned to Ryan, "Still preparing?" ”

"It's a little difficult." Ryan admits that his interest is still not very high, and his speech is a little prickly, "I'm sorry you have to play with me." ”

I said I was sorry, but I wasn't so sorry for that tone. Jenny also understands him, who is Ren, after being desperately stepped on by the director for a few weeks, he will have mixed feelings about this control group.

"Actually, if it weren't for me going to New York in December, it would be fine." "I still enjoy being held and don't mind spending a little more time on it, but I think we're going to have to get it done before it gets colder, right?" ”

She made a half-self-deprecating joke, pointing out the fact that she didn't have much time, and then added, "So if you don't want to get cold, can you let me share a little bit of experience?" ”

Ryan looked at her suspiciously, "Please?" ”

Jenny really didn't have anything else in mind, purely to finish filming quickly, and if she continued like this, she wouldn't be able to finish filming her role in two months, and she really couldn't go to New York in December.

"You're an expressionist, aren't you?" She said, "I see that your expression has always been very restrained, of course, the expressiveness is not bad, but the love scene is about emotional injection." I understand - my nakedness. The body is not very attractive to you, in fact, you are the same to me, do you know what I was thinking when I looked at you just now? ”

Ryan's expression raised a silent question.

"A huge serving of cheese and cheese fries." "When you take off your pants, I'm thinking they're bringing me another double cheeseburger - and I'm theoretically never going to eat it." ”

Of course this is a lie, the reason why she behaves so well is because she has been beating children with her golden finger, but Jenny feels that the traces left by that love are actually the same, especially the scene just now is sex. Love scenes, in many times people face sex and face the psychology of food is really similar, "I know you love to eat twizzlers, but these days to shoot naked. Drama ......"

Ryan is a very spiritual actor, but he doesn't have much experience yet, this kind of actor sometimes just lacks a point, Jenny said this, his eyes were already lit up, and he couldn't wait to pull Jenny to stand in the center of the field.

"Rehearse with me?" He said, then took a few steps back and closed his eyes for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, the expression on his face, although not so obvious, had changed drastically in terms of the richness of the details, Jenny cooperated with the undressing performance, and as she took off her virtual coat, Ryan's expression also became hungry - although it was only a momentary loss of control, and it was quickly stretched back, but the tension of being tempted jumped out at once.

β€œgood!” Kasowitz, who didn't know when he had returned to the venue, applauded. "Very good, taking advantage of your state, we will shoot this scene immediately."

Of course, no one would object, and Ryan smiled cheerfully for the first time in days, and he smiled kindly at Jenny, "Thanks." ”

"It's a gesture." Jenny said that it was a bit of a bad thing for her now. - Speaking of which, this is the first time she has played with a talented actor of the same age, Ryan's performance...... It really made her a little jealous, if it weren't for the help of Goldfinger, she wouldn't have been able to adjust herself in such a short period of time......

Thinking that Ryan, who is so talented, seems to have been nominated for an Oscar by 2014, Jenny unexpectedly has a little fear of that high award, although she has not yet started to challenge, but she will have to face it one day.

Even if she has a golden finger by her side, in the face of this level of competition, she has no confidence to win......

Maybe it was Jenny's click that broke a bottleneck in Ryan's acting skills, and in the next shooting, his progress can be described as speedy, to the point that the director wants to remake the previous clips, which also makes Jenny have more confidence in the future of "The Love Notebook" - at least, she is sure that the performances of the heroes and heroines in the film should be on a higher level than the original version.

At the same time, "People" exclusively exposed the details of Josh's visit to the class, and the photos of her and Josh kissing in the corner of the crew also appeared on the covers of major entertainment newspapers......

The author has something to say: Note: 1 The paragraph about skin cancer is almost true, you can observe the skin of a white aunt, if you love the sun when you are young, it is terrible! That spot can get your dense phobia out

2 Some of the information about Ryan, Kevin, and the director is also true, and the High Commander does seem to be very fond of sugar-
