Chapter 284: You're a Fierce Woman!
The third actor is naturally Linda, the wife of Chris, played by Jessica.
Before starting filming, Zhou Shaoming found Jessica in the dressing room.
"Jessica, are you ready?" Zhou Shaoming asked with concern, although this role is very ordinary, he still hopes that Jessica can perform acting skills that ordinary people can't achieve.
Different from yesterday's gaffe, Jessica's every move in front of everyone looked very elegant, and after listening to Zhou Shaoming's words at this moment, Jessica smiled and said: "Director, everything is OK!" I'm looking forward to sharing the stage with the King of Comedy! β
Zhou Shaoming smiled with satisfaction: "OK, come out after putting on makeup, the camera is ready." After speaking, Zhou Shaoming took the lead and walked outside.
Today's filming content is mainly about the dialogue between Chris and his wife Linda, this is also Linda's first appearance, painful over the dialogue between Linda and Chris, what Zhou Shaoming wants to show is the contradiction between husband and wife, the hardships of life, and also laid the groundwork for Linda to leave Chris in the future.
Although Linda's role will only appear in the first half, she is an indispensable character in the whole movie, making everything in this scene seem reasonable.
In the previous life, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was written by Will? Played by Smith and his son, Linda, as the only female character in the play, is naturally the well-deserved first supporting actress.
It's just that when Zhou Shaoming came to film, there was one more heroine who was more important than Linda, and that was Eveya.
Although there are two female roles, Jessica's role still has irreplaceable importance, because it is Linda's woman who has completely changed Chris's life, and it is precisely because of Linda's departure that Chris will depend on his son. will highlight the great fatherly love.
Therefore, Zhou Shaoming's positioning of Jessica is "the heroine who is not the heroine." β
Soon. Jessica walked out of the dressing room. The beautiful girl who was originally as beautiful as a flower, after wearing makeup, became a working woman with a scorched face and oppressed by life. For the work of makeup artists, Zhou Shaoming feels very satisfied.
Jessica doesn't care about being made ugly by a makeup artist, which is a character-specific physical trait, as a professional actor. She naturally accepted this role whose life was under pressure to the point of collapse.
And just after Jessica came out, Jim Carrey was also ready, and now she is waiting for the filming to start.
Everything was ready, Zhou Shaoming shouted to the staff: "All in place, ready." β
βActionοΌβ
Filming started again, Jim Carrey and Jessica were ready, and after Zhou Shaoming shouted this sentence, Jim Carrey had already carried the machine and walked into the scene.
It's a laundry room with towels and some clothes around it. There are quite a few women in yellow uniforms who are busy with work.
"Jessica. It's your turn! Zhou Shaoming shouted on the side.
Soon, a woman walked out of the crowd. Walking towards Jim Carrey is none other than Linda, played by Jessica.
At this moment, Jessica has coiled up her long hair, and she can't say how capable she is.
After Jessica appeared in front of the camera, she walked straight in front of Jim Carrey, saying her first lines as she walked.
"Hey!" When she said this, Jessica's face was full of confusion, as if she didn't understand why her husband suddenly appeared at her place of work.
"Hey, baby!"
This is the first time Jim Carrey and Jessica have performed on the same stage, and Jim Carrey is not jerky, as if the woman in front of him is really his wife.
"What's wrong?" Jessica came to Jim Carrey and asked suspiciously.
Jim Carrey first said, "It's okay", and then said with a helpless look: "I can't pick up Everea today!" β
This Everea is naturally Jim Carrey's daughter, Zhou Shaoming directly used the original name as the name of this Chris's daughter, and the original boy's name must not be used.
Before Jessica could say her lines, Zhou Shaoming had already shouted "CUT".
"Kim, you are now a father, you can't pick up your own child, you can't be so calm, it's one of your responsibilities to pick up your child! Remember, you're Evereya's father! β
Zhou Shaoming kept emphasizing the word "father", in fact, in the performance just now, Jim Carrey performed very well, but Zhou Shaoming made the strictest requirements for him in order to let Jim Carrey truly understand and integrate into the role of his father, which was also a plan prepared by Zhou Shaoming in advance.
Every line, every job, every look, as long as it involves the identity of his father, Zhou Shaoming will use the strictest way to ask Jim Carrey.
After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Jim Carrey said apologetically: "OK, I will play well!" β
"Let's hope so, let's do it again."
After saying that, the shooting continued again, still the same scene as before.
When Jessica asked what was wrong, Jim Carrey looked apologetic and then said to Jessica, "I don't think I can pick up Everea today." β
"Do it again!" Without any hesitation, Zhou Shaoming asked for a re-shooting again, and he felt that it was not enough.
"I don't think I'll be able to pick up Everea today."
βCUT!β
"I'm sorry, dear, I probably won't be able to pick up Everea today."
In the end, this scene was NG seven times before it was successfully passed.
By the time the shooting was finally successful, Jim Carrey's forehead was already covered with sweat, which was all in a hurry, and in the end, Jim Carrey remembered that when he was a child, his father said the same thing, and Jim Carrey imitated his father's expression and tone, which passed smoothly.
And Jessica, who cooperated with Zhou Shaoming for the first time, also appreciated Zhou Shaoming's persistence and strict requirements.
"Alright, it's up to you, Jessica." After finishing the filming of the previous scene, Zhou Shaoming smiled with satisfaction.
But when his smile landed in Jessica's eyes, it completely changed to a different taste.
After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, Jessica made an "OK" gesture to Zhou Shaoming.
Only then did Zhou Shaoming shout: "Action!"
Filming continues, and the crew, which was slowed down by a single line, is running again.
"I probably won't be able to pick up Everea today." It was Jim Carrey who spoke, and after seven retakes, he was finally able to master the demeanor of this scene. At this moment, a father's worry about his child was completely reflected on his face.
Then it's Jessica's turn.
"Don't do this, I have to work the night shift at seven o'clock!" Jessica's tone was tepid, and Zhou Shaoming seemed a little dissatisfied, but this was Jessica's first appearance, and Zhou Shaoming decided to see Jessica's performance in other aspects.
"I've got to go to Auckland." Jim Carrey said with a little helplessness.
"I'm going to pick up Everea, cook for her, put her to bed, and then come over for the night shift before seven?" Jessica was still tepid, and there seemed to be something unbearable in it.
"Yes." Jim Carrey seems to have been driven by Jessica, and he is also very guilty at this time.
βCUTοΌβ Just as Jessica was about to continue to recite her lines, Zhou Shaoming suddenly shouted.
Before Jessica could speak, Zhou Shaoming's series of words had already exploded.
"Jessica, you are playing a housewife, you can simply imagine that you are busy and anxious, and at this time your husband suddenly tells you that you have to pick up the child tonight, you have to cook for her, put her to sleep, and you have to rush to work when you are done, you will be in a good mood at this time? Will you talk to your husband calmly? Your facial expressions are too restrained and will make you look like a weathered woman! β
After saying this in one breath, Zhou Shaoming tried to make Jessica in front of the camera understand, but she patiently listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, and then nodded seriously: "Yes, director, I know!" β
"OK, I won't say anything superfluous, continue shooting." After venting, Zhou Shaoming's mood was much soothed, and he didn't say anything else, just waved his hand and signaled the shooting to continue.
At the moment when the camera was turned on, Zhou Shaoming still reminded: "Remember, you have to be fierce, don't be so weak!" This is a couple full of contradictions, otherwise they wouldn't have divorced! β
At this moment, the picture returns to the previous scene, Jim Carrey looks at Jessica apologetically, different from the previous tepid, this time Jessica glared at Jim Carrey viciously, like a mad tigress, which is diametrically opposed to her deliberately restrained image.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaoming's eyes couldn't help but light up, and it could be seen that Jessica had done what he asked him to do, and completed the transformation of her image in such a short period of time, which is not something that ordinary actors can do.
Jessica's ability to become an instant hit has something to do with her own solid foundation.
God does not favor any one person, opportunities are equal for everyone, and only those who are ready can seize them, and there are countless such lists in Hollywood, Hugh? Jackman, Christian? Bell, they all have superb acting skills, and a heart that endures loneliness, and in the end they can become popular.
"You can't do this, I have to work the night shift at seven o'clock." After her demeanor changed, Jessica's tone also became a lot heavier, and her eyes kept staring at Jim Carrey when she spoke.
Led by Jessica, Jim Carrey has also entered the state, and he is a helpless husband when he plays a fierce wife.
"I've got to go to Auckland." Unlike Jessica's ferocity, Jim Carrey tried to keep his voice low, as if he didn't want the people around him to hear the conversation between the two. (To be continued.) )
