Chapter 64: Jessica's Kiss
Daniel started the filming of "Silent Love", but when he entered the group, he found that the atmosphere was not right, and everyone, from the director to the actors, was very low.
This became even more noticeable after the start of filming.
The first scene of the whole film is Daniel and Jessica's rivalry, filmed in Santa Monica Beach, where Jessica snuggles up to Daniel walking on the sunset beach, the waves, the sand, the birdsong and the glow, which is a quiet and beautiful scene, which is also what Jossen is good at.
For actors who have not yet entered the state, the difficulty is relatively small, after all, most of the materials are long-range shots, wide-angle shots, and there is occasional advancement, and it is only necessary to express happiness and dedication.
But as soon as filming began, Daniel realized that something was wrong, and Jessica's self-expressed happiness was a disaster. When he tried to arouse her affection, he found that the director had actually shouted.
"What is this?"
Daniel insisted on looking at the footage.
"Jossen, is that the kind of acting you need for your short film?" Daniel knows that he is in the spotlight, he is like a balloon, blown bigger and bigger by the incredible Internet popularity and media coverage, so big that many people have the desire to pierce it, and the short film has become a catharsis of this love. A person can't become a superstar all at once, and there's no way to sweep Sven all at once, even in cruel Hollywood, you have to give people two or three films.
These people, who have a strong desire for destruction, hope that the short film will become the first "God's forgiveness" that Daniel wasted.
But Daniel still restrained himself and didn't do a lot of things other than actors in the crew.
To his surprise, the entire crew was affected by this declining atmosphere.
And Qiao Sen's unprofessionalism made him even a little angry.
Jossen was a little frightened by Daniel's questioning, and he also thought that the table just now was slightly insufficient, but it was already so-so, wasn't it?
Holding back unnecessary affection, Daniel invited Jossen to a corner of the beach, with his back against a large rock.
"Jossen, with all due respect, your appearance makes me wonder if you really have the connoisseurship to be a director." Daniel's words were too heavy, "If you really think that scene is not bad, or if you think that kind of table can be in your movie, I find that I may have made a mistake, and that is to accept your invitation." ”
"Daniel," said Jossen, blushing, sneering, "I know that scene isn't good, but I just wanted to finish it sooner, and it's only one scene in the short film." ”
"There's only one scene, so shoddy work can be tolerated, right?" Daniel paused, let out a long exhale, and then spoke again, his tone much more sincere and less angry, "Jossen, this is your chance, and it's also my chance." Everyone's feelings have been affected, why? Because we have received more attention than all the other contestants, every scene of your short film will be cared for, and the opportunity given to you will be fleeting, if it is just because of some vulgar performances that you don't care about, the director zhì the whole film is not well received, will you be willing? Now we should be afraid of not being perfect, rather than tolerating it knowing that there are flaws. ”
"In the scene just now, is Jessica like a girl full of happiness? Can the whole scene convey a quiet and beautiful feeling? Even I was a little restless, and I could tell from my steps that if I were strolling through Santa Monica with my girlfriend, I would never land on my front feet and immediately lift my back feet, as if I were in a hurry. There are problems everywhere in the whole scene, and you actually shouted it, do you know what I just thought? ”
"It's over!"
"Daniel, I'm sorry, I-"
Daniel patted Josson on the shoulder, "Please don't blame me for saying something too bad, really, your first shoot is really good with the level just now, but it's not enough, you have to understand, you can't achieve your 100 points, you can't do my 100 points, we all have to do 120 points." I know we're short on time, but we can't give up on our persistence and pursuit. ”
The actor and director hid behind the reef for half a day and didn't come out.
"Are they going to get a shot?" Ferguson, who was sent by the Federation, was also a young man who worked as an assistant director in a Ron Howard film.
Jessica knew that her appearance was not very good, and she was still a little relieved when Jossen shouted, but she knew that Daniel would definitely not be satisfied.
"Hey, Jessica, are you free for the night?" Ferguson glanced over there, and before Daniel and Jossen could come out, he leaned over to Jessica, "I treat you to steak, I know there's a sirloin steak that tastes good." ”
"Ferguson, I'm sorry, I'm going to be with my family tonight."
Ferguson was an informed and interesting man, and he didn't get angry if he didn't make an appointment, and after a while he circled Quigley's side, and Jessica saw the smile on his face become exaggerated, and knew he had landed tonight.
This is not uncommon in any crew, so many people live in isolation, and they all need each other, as long as the measures are in place.
"Jessica, Quigley, come over here."
After a while, Qiao Sen didn't come, and called the two beauties over.
"It's exciting, can I join?" Ferguson muttered, "I heard Daniel is gay, you know?" ”
Sharon Adams with the camera - he was introduced by Ferguson, but what Ferguson didn't tell Josson was that Adams was once kicked out of the crew for calling the director stupid.
But apparently, Adams lacked gratitude for Ferguson, as he didn't hesitate to give Ferguson a roll of the eye.
The four creators talked for a while, Jessica's problem turned out to be the biggest, Jossen was easily aroused by Daniel, Quigley didn't have any burden, she had just hooked up with an assistant director, maybe it could bring her some opportunities.
"Jessica, you're a professional actor, and I'm sure you can do it." Daniel glanced at Jossen and Quigley, sighed, and could only speak to himself, "Besides, you can think so, even if you mess up, there is still Daniel on top." ”
Jessica was amused by him, and she understood that Daniel should be under a lot more pressure than she was.
Compared to it, she does seem to be too unprofessional.
"I see, I'll try to adjust." Jessica glanced at Daniel, and the two of them happened to meet their eyes.
Jessica was a little embarrassed, as if she had done something bad and was caught.
Jossen announced that the scene just now would be re-filmed.
Photographer Sharon muttered a sentence when he was debugging the machine, and Ferguson listened to it, "Adams, what did you say?" ”
"I'm saying, can you go to work?"
"I heard something 'thank goodness.'"
Jessica did start to work hard to arouse her feelings, and Daniel amused her, and every now and then there was a burst of laughter.
"Is that okay?" Daniel leaned close to Jessica's cheek and kept asking her if they needed to be a little closer.
Jessica, who was a little uncomfortable, was simply annoyed by his question, and directly turned her head and kissed him on the face, "That's okay." Can you stop being a gentleman's disease? ”
Not far away, Ferguson opened his mouth wide, "My God, no wonder Jessica rejected me, it's big news." ”
"Who are you going to sell to?"
"What about the Los Angeles Times, will they either?" Ferguson didn't look back, replied directly, and then suddenly reacted, "Hey, Adams, I'm just kidding." ”
But he really wanted to punch Adams in that unshaven face.
I have to say that Jessica's unintentional act made the whole scene finally satisfying.
"That's right." Sharon Adams looked at the two men in the camera and sighed comfortably.
