Chapter 329: Swan Talk
"I see something wrong with that gentleman's expression."
Finch took them to the break room and went back to work. Although some of Amanda's scenes can be given to the assistant director, he still needs to know what the filming will look like for the first time. So, now it's just Daniel and Natalie, and by the way, there are two bottles of strong tequila sent by the staff, a 750ml bottle, and Daniel doesn't quite know why it's two.
Natalie stared at the amber liquor in the bottle, which blurred one circle after another.
"Benjamin?"
"Uh-huh."
"I know what he's thinking, but it doesn't have anything to do with me, does it?"
Natalie reached for a bottle, expertly opened it, and poured a full glass for Daniel and herself, "You're really good at reading people's expressions - that's how you learned acting?" ”
Picking up her boxy glass, Natalie stared straight at Daniel, "So, do you know what I'm thinking right now?" ”
Daniel playfully didn't ask why Natalie was pouring so full, the cup was probably for milk, and when two cups were poured, the bottle of tequila that was opened was basically half left. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Daniel didn't know what would happen if he drank it all.
This worry made him forget to even satirize Natalie's "thin affection".
"It's a little-"
He tries to explain how much he drinks and how Natalie doesn't seem to need to drink that much.
But watching Natalie tilt her head and do it for a while, he really didn't have the face to say it.
Any man wants to save face, and although Daniel has strong self-control, it is difficult to say "no" in front of a lady like Natalie.
Indeed, how can a man say no.
Especially after Natalie drank it. While staring at the wine glass in his hand.
Calming down, Daniel picked up the cup and poured it halfway down—a little more than Natalie had drunk.
Men are such animals.
Seeing that he drank half of it, and blood suddenly welled up on his face, Natalie hooked the corners of her mouth, as if she was in a happy mood.
The brain was flushed with alcohol, driven by an extremely unfamiliar state of chaos. He looked up at Natalie, she was looking at him, looking at each other, Daniel suddenly realized something, Natalie was obviously not the same today as usual, this was a woman with better self-control than Daniel, she was almost strict with her planning, she knew what she wanted, and she knew how to do it for these things. So. Today's performance, in her, is indeed quite rare.
But as a master of the experiential school, Natalie seems to be immersed in Nina's world.
"Black Swan" is a film full of fantasy, tension, and inner conflict, and Nina, as the absolute central character of the film, will fully carry most of the ideas that the film wants to show to the audience. It was a tough, but very challenging job for Natalie.
Cowardice and sharpness, doubt and confusion, fear and detachment...... All of these contradict each other. But the characteristics of symbiosis together need to be reflected in the performance of Nina's character. In other words, such a character is easy for the experiential Natalie to indulge in.
Even if there is no distinction between inside and outside, it is natural for personality traits to change significantly in a short period of time. Daniel even suspects that the 28-year-old Natalie will develop a romance with Benjamin on the "Black Swan" set. It is not for this reason that she is sensitive and fragile at this time, and the appearance of Benjamin has left important traces on her.
Now only 25 years old, Natalie may be even less able to resist this kind of shock.
"You're Nina. Or Natalie? ”
Hear Daniel ask.
Natalie suddenly smiled, "I'm Natalie, and I'm Nina. What about you, are you Daniel, or Jack. Sparrow? Spearman? Or the latest Justin. Quinyle? ”
"Justin?"
Daniel's nerves were slightly paralyzed by alcohol, and his mind went back to filming The Immortal Gardener.
Justin and Rachel. Vicky's Tessa is completely different, Tessa is alive in the story, facing the children in the slums, her sincerity, kindness and gentleness, and facing the conspiracy of the pharmaceutical giants buried behind her, her anger is so real. Under Rachel's superb acting skills, onlookers easily feel with her, feel poverty, feel anger. It also gives birth to compassion for people in distress with her.
But Daniel's interpretation and Justin's portrayal are different.
Although he was determined to pursue it after Tessa's death, he was never strong enough to solve the problem. There are many reasons for this, and the movie incorporates his love with Tessa, adding a different kind of wonderful charm to the movie, and also deciding that this will not be a personal hero movie. In fact, Justin never triumphed, and in the end, the wicked were retributed, entirely due to Sandy's awakening of conscience. This design is even more powerless than leaving suspense - yes, only God can do justice.
Therefore, Daniel's performance in "The Immortal Gardener" is a complete desperate love journey, under the ordinary, extremely lonely.
"I'm not Justin. Quinyle. ”
Daniel reached out to support Natalie's cheek, and his thumb ran from the corner of her mouth to the high cheekbones, and the greasy touch of his fingertips made Daniel's heart tremble slightly.
Natalie raised her glass.
Daniel also raised the cup, and poured it again.
This time, they poured the whole cup down.
It was a wonderful time for two remarkable actors, propelled by alcohol and a hint of inner throbbing, to give their bodies to their characters and to their desires.
Two bottles of fiery agave, and before I knew it, I was drunk.
"Your nature is holding you back, it's time to get rid of her and set yourself free."
"Perfection is not controlled, it is explodes."
"I felt perfect. I'm just perfect. ”
"I am the Swan Queen"
“……”
"Every great cause has an end day."
Miller stood in the doorway, listening to the voices inside, rich and strange, as if he was on the right lines, the sentences he had seen in the script.
"The big stars are really different, and they haven't forgotten the right lines when they drink."
Pouting, in front of Miller's eyes, there seemed to be two swans flying in the chasing light, one black and one white...... (To be continued......)
