"Can you imagine how tomorrow's newspapers will taunt us?"
"Why don't you think about it 'vigorously'?" Jessica was obviously still holding a grudge, which made Quigley, who had just arrived, and Jossen a little confused.
Quigley was supposed to be there today, but the federation didn't think it was possible to send her an invitation - it was a girl of unknown origin.
Daniel was a little laughable, but he had to give up the idea of bringing Quigley with him, and in the end, he was not convincing.
"Just a joke."
Daniel tried to convince himself, and he straightened his expression, "Now that's it, me, Jessica, Quigley, and you, director Jossen, the main creator of "Silent Love", are all here, and now it's how to make this short film, tell us what you think." Don't say no, never. β
Jossen did not disappoint him, he has the excellent tradition of orientals to plan and move.
"Yes, we'll be shooting in Los Angeles, and some of the scenes in the script will be changed, like the Hudson River will be turned into an evening beach in Malibu. Jessica and you will be strolling on the beach, and I will shoot some beautiful shots with a wide-angle lens, and Jessica will be snuggled up to you all the time, and she will be gentle and virtuous - oh, which means understanding.
You'll also wander around the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and we'll find some Renaissance paintings, the exposed kind, and I'll give Jessica a close-up of her eyes, and she's going to have a jumping flame in her eyes, like pent-up lava, and then the camera will blur, and when I'm focusing, your eyes will be gentle and gentle.
As for Quigley, I want you to go wild dancing in the bars of the Highlands, and you're having a scene with Daniel - you don't mind, do you? β
Jossen is not worried about Daniel, a young American single man, who may be suspicious of his orientation if he refuses to play such a role. He was more worried about Quigley, who looked like she was really an Oriental girl.
"I'm fine, I'll cooperate." Quigley looked at Daniel, "Daniel is fine, I have no problem. β
She now knows why she had the opportunity to get a temporary contract with CAA.
Jossen breathed a sigh of relief.
"In short, you want to be wild and sexy. Both of you need to break the audience's stereotype about Americans and Orientals, Americans are going to be Oriental, and Orientals are going to be American. β
"And then there's Daniel, Daniel you're important, you're the soul of the whole film. Deaf and dumb, this is a very interesting setting, you lose your sense of hearing and the ability to speak, but you have two such beautiful girls at the same time, you have to be attractive enough, the film begins, you work in a pharmacy company, you have to make people feel at first glance that you are a dedicated and mysterious attractive man, they will have a good impression of you. Then, in your relationship with Jessica, you have to further deepen this charm, you are handsome, warm, have a literary appreciation, and are full of love. I'm going to use a lot of close-ups, and it's slow-push, so you have to have a lot of drama from the whole picture all the way to the eyes.
When you're with Quigley, you have to show a different kind of charm, and you can't contradict the previous one, you have to explain the two states in a smooth way, and the audience knows that you're stepping on two boats, but you still have to get their understanding, and even let them know that you're so attractive that it's normal for different beauties to embrace you. And then there's the hormonal scene -- it's a subtle sign, Daniel, that you're going to look like you're completely different from the previous one, wild, dark and destructive.
Then there was about three minutes for the two ladies to get out of Quigley's bed, and Daniel went back to the pharmacy, picked up a small bottle, and smashed all the remaining potions. And then leaveβdisappear. You start calling him, note that Jessica still needs to be gentle enough and Quigley needs to be grumpy enough.
The phone never worked, one day, two days, three days, you dreamed every day, Jessica was going wild in her dreams, like a high school girl who was sending duì to have fun, and Quigley was conservatively dressed and timid.
At this point, I'm going to cut a lot of Daniel handing you all kinds of drinks, flashing them in a montage of things, and you gradually return to your nature, and then you meet in his apartment, and you rush to find him and start looking for clues, and you turn to an old address and decide to try your luck. On the way you see upscale white neighborhoods, families spending the weekend together, and then you see Daniel holding a dark, dirty little black girl, and instead of that charming smile on his face, he has a completely innocent, unblemished smile, and he has a glass of water in his hand - the kind of glass that is often fed to Quigley, which is printed with witches
That's all! β
"Sounds like a very interesting work." Quigley tried to say that she didn't know anything about any of this, and that she hadn't really liked movies before.
Jessica has also read this script, and it is really good.
Now the most important thing for them is to shoot the desired effect, if it doesn't match the design, the script will become a mess.
According to the rules set by the federation, all staff members must be current students of the USC School of Film and Television, except for the actors, and the sixteen groups will be supervised by the federation, and no one will play tricks in such a competition - this is a bit too unstylish.
"Did the rest of the staff find it? I mean photographers or something. β
"Yes, I have partners." Jossen has a lot of confidence in his old partner, "The film we worked on won the school's Edwood Award. β
"That's still about the script......
Several people discussed for a long time, and Daniel was ready to invite them to dinner, but Jossen hurried back to design the storyboard and scene book. Surprisingly, Quigley is also going back.
"I'm a little nervous and want to hurry up and prepare more."
What can Daniel say, the girl who works so hard can only give her a thumbs up.
"So, Miss Jessica, what about you?"
"You seem to have forgotten about Casey."
Daniel really forgot about Catherine, "Okay, then we'll pick her up and go eat Thai food." β
The "Pattaya Light" where I went with Tony last time tasted very good for Daniel's tongue, and there weren't many people there.
β¦β¦
Catherine pushed open the door and called "Jesse" with a big grin before she saw Daniel behind her, and her face suddenly turned weirdly red.
The voice was fifty decibels smaller than the previous "Jesse".
"Daniel, why are you here?"
It's like a noble lady.
Jessica's stomach was about to burst with laughter, and she was glared at by Catherine several times and didn't know how to retract.
"My sister is usually like this, it's a little abnormal." Catherine was so clever that she couldn't get Jessica to come over, and she immediately planned to fall into the ground.
Daniel still had a faint pain in his waist, so he had to hold back his laughter, "Kathy, I want to treat you to Thai food tonight, how about it?" β
"Really? Is it just us? β
"And your abnormal sister," Jessica smiled, her face flushed and her skin glowing a healthy red, "how's it going?" Casey, welcome. β
"Well, of course, Daniel is your friend, too." Catherine was a little reluctant, but she couldn't refuse, so she glared at Jessica a few more times, and then said a few words to her as she got into the car, so that Jessica almost didn't notice and crashed into the roof of the car.
"What happened?" Daniel asked them from the driver's seat.
"She said why I like to be a light bulb." Jessica didn't hesitate to sell her eleven-year-old cousin, "Kathy, you're not going on a date with Daniel, if that's the case, he'll have to go to jail tomorrow." β
"Why?"
"Because you're only eleven years old, an eleven-year-old girl can't date, that's against California law."
"California has such stupid laws."
Along the way, Catherine was indignant at the law that she didn't know if it existed, and it wasn't until the food was served that she began to let go of her resentment.
This meal was extremely interesting because of Catherine, and this is a very special little girl with great strength.
"I think she's very talented, and if she wants to get into Hollywood, she might have a bright future." After sending Catherine home for an answer, Daniel told Jessica, "She's a talent for making people happy, she's light-hearted, she's very focused, she doesn't feel like she's funny." β
"She's only eleven years old, which is too early."
"I'm just talking." Daniel sent the man home, "Looks like you're not going to invite me up for a coffee or something." β
"Next time, there will be a chance." Jessica gave Danny her signature charming smile.
Daniel raised an eyebrow, "Okay, next time." β
β¦β¦
Before the filming of "Silent Love" began, Daniel ushered in a rare week of vacation.
Although Cusa was still busy, he refused to join.
He needs to take a leave of absence.
"You should go find a girl, a twenty-year-old can't always rely on his right hand." This is Andy's advice to him, "It helps relieve stress, and if you don't get effective breaks, it's a good choice." β
"Sounds like you're very experienced."
Now Daniel, like Cussa, doesn't think of Andy as a woman anymore, and jokes are becoming more and more taboo-free.
"My cousin's experience."
"Speaking of Kusa, how is he lately?"
Andy also has his own circle, celebrity assistants, makeup artists, stylists, etc., and the news that Daniel wants to increase his agent has spread in CAA circles.
Daniel's question is certainly not about the work situation.
"It looks okay, nothing out of the ordinary."
"What I'm curious about is that he doesn't seem to be trying to get a little bit of an advantage, and he is a little resigned to his fate, which is not like him." Daniel thinks that even if Kusa can't resist the CAA's demands, he will definitely try to win the core business - such as financial contacts and handle the job offers that the star himself gets as a contact person, which can be achieved as long as Daniel approves of it.
It could be that Kusa was already confident, or it could be that he had something else in mind.
"He's planning his career path elsewhere?" If Kusa is no longer Daniel's only agent, then Daniel is certainly no longer his only client, and he has given up several small roles.
Kusa has established himself in the CAA and brokerage industry, and is qualified to climb slowly.
Andy couldn't talk to him about it, so he didn't say a word.
"By the way, bring me some newspapers before you come tomorrow, I guess it's going to be a fire again." Daniel carries a clear self-deprecation.
