Chapter 95: Seventeen NG
The filming location was set in a boarding school in Tennessee, which was almost abandoned, and the coldness and gloom of the old buildings there were very satisfying to Zhou Shaoming, and everything was very close to the original movie.
At the same time as the national debate on the American Dream in the new millennium was set off, Mr. Smith Chow, as the initiator of that storm, led his team to the filming set and began to work in earnest, separating the controversy and noise of the outside world with a wall, and devoting himself to the film.
Although before the start, Zhou Shaoming, who was full of confidence in front of the media, still felt that he was just a gamble, but Isabella Sula did not disappoint him, maybe Isabella has the potential of up to 100 points, and her acting score has skyrocketed from 45 to 60 after just one week of acting training.
Although 60 is only a third-rate actor's score compared with Meryl's performance score of 95 points, considering the low score of 45 points that is difficult to find in the early stage, Zhou Shaoming feels that maybe she is really a buried pearl in the dust.
It's just that under the influence of the previous life of a housewife and her lack of fame, she didn't have the opportunity to exercise and improve at all, so she was so unknown.
And now burdened with Zhou Shaoming's expectations and obeying the burning dream in her heart, Isabella is learning and progressing explosively, and there is too much room for her to play in this movie.
From the beginning of getting the script, her face was full of tears, to studying the characteristics of Jenny Benia's surname in the script for 20 hours a day, constantly figuring out and performing in her heart and in reality, she was so crazy that Zhou Shaoming was a little afraid that she would "die of overwork"
And when Zhou Shaoming persuaded Isabella to have a good rest, she refused: "If I don't put in 200%, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for myself!" ”
The helpless Zhou Shaoming could only forcefully ask her to rest and find someone to watch her, but she didn't expect to come back in a circle, and the guy who guarded Isabella was moved by her pleading and firmness to be her audience, so that she could discover her shortcomings in performance!
Let her go! When decades of longing come true, no one is more persistent than Isabella, and perhaps, this is also a good thing for the film and for herself.
The director system did not come to bother Zhou Shaoming, maybe it also thought that Zhou Shaoming should go his own way, and at this point, he was grateful.
It's nothing more than a waste of film, Zhou Shaoming looked back at the box that was almost full of discarded film, expelled the messy thoughts out of his mind, gave Isabella who was about to shoot with encouraging eyes, and then stared at the monitor and shouted loudly: "action!! ”。
The field reporter slapped the slate board in his hand suddenly, and in the eleventh scene of "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", the words of the seventeenth mirror flashed from the lens.
This scene has been filmed for the seventeenth time!
It was an uncomplicated scene, where Jenny Peña came to the "bottom of the pond" and met Nicole (Peppino), a little girl who was guarding the doorway.
Jenny (Isabella) tightened her coat, struggled to carry the big box in her hand, and walked to the front of the school with some tiredness and apprehension, only to find a little girl who was only five or six years old, standing alone in front of the gate, clutching the railing of the closed iron gate.
Jenny put the suitcase down with some embarrassment, then wiped her forehead and said to the little girl, "Hello, you alone?" What are you doing here? ”
The girl who plays Nichol is Dakota Fanning, the sister of the famous Fanning sisters, and now she is just a 5-year-old little girl, born in 1994, she is as cute as a doll, and she is a beautiful girl who can not help but hold it in anyone's hands.
Zhou Shaoming snatched her from the TV series director and gave her the most cute role in "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class".
The camera changed, and Nichole raised his head, his big eyes looked pitifully, and he said with some loneliness in his small mouth: "I'm waiting for Saturday." ”
"Why?" Jenny didn't understand.
"Because my mom will pick me up." Still holding on to the railing, Nichol said timidly.
"Okay, but it's not Saturday!" Jenny shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile.
“cut!” Zhou Shaoming frowned and said, then yelled: "The facial expression is wrong!" It's so stiff! Forget it, take a break! Isabella, come here. ”
Isabella nodded in a panic, ran to Zhou Shaoming's side in the crowd of people who were leaving in chaos, and lowered her head to prepare for training.
Zhou Shaoming is no longer the amiable person with a smile on his face, as soon as the role of director enters, he frowns as if he can never open his brows, supervising anyone like a tyrant.
Perfect, perfect! These are the words he has been on his lips all day long as he enters the set.
"Isabella! I think you have to understand! You are now a frustrated musician and no longer a housewife! You came to this school with a sense of loss, a sense of frustration! I've said it many times! So think again! Zhou Shaoming's split head and face was a lesson, and there was no mercy in his words.
"Okay director, I'll think again!" Although Isabella couldn't raise her head when she was scolded, she still seriously recalled what her shortcomings were, and she filmed her first scene 17 times without success, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it, get some rest and go have a cup of coffee!" Zhou Shaoming's anger came and went quickly.
Isabella came to the dressing room and sat down in a chair in despair, looking at herself in the mirror with annoyance, not knowing where to start.
"What's wrong? Still haven't been? Jessica put on her makeup and turned her head to look at Isabella.
"yes, why can't I find the feeling? What a damn one! Isabella held her head and lay on the dressing table, her mind in confusion.
"I know that every actor has a time when he can't be replaced. Smith Chow says your expression isn't right, you try to relax a little. Jessica comforted Isabella with kind words.
How should I do it?
Isabella asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't find an answer.
"How did you perform just now? Can you show me another one? Jessica said kindly.
"Okay!" Isabella gathered up her thoughts and repeated the performance.
"Wait, like, there's something wrong!" Jessica bit her lip and frowned in thought.
"The director said I didn't bring a ...... of disappointment," Isabella said helplessly.
"Rubbing the frustration? Isn't that how you're feeling right now? Don't think you're Jenny Benia anymore, you're Isabella Sula, after being scolded by the director, what kind of expression will you have when you come home and see your child right in front of you? Jessica said with a smile as if she had thought of something.
