Chapter 224: Innate Advantage
Thinking β β customers, the fastest update!
"I'm standing in the kitchen, cutting the chicken and preparing dinner."
The tall black woman walked out of the iron door, stepped to the beat of the music, skillfully came to the camera, and danced around the camera that rotated at a constant speed of 360 degrees, "I was doing my own thing wholeheartedly, but my husband Webb walked in......"
This is called Mia? Although Valentine's black woman looks average, her appearance is very infectious, showing the profound stage skills of the Broadway actress, and she skillfully steps on the dance steps and slowly turns to the direction of Duke.

Looking at it from this angle, Duke immediately noticed that something was wrong, and Valentine was stunned for a moment and asked, "...... Did I make a mistake? β
"Mia, your cousin is very good."
If you talk about acting skills and singing and dancing alone, this black woman is completely Naomi? Watts and Catherine? Zeta? Jones has two heroines, but the movie is more than just acting and singing and dancing, even if she is the candidate for Velma in the new season of Broadway's "Chicago", the very ordinary image dooms her from being the heroine of the movie.
Duke walked over to Valentine and pointed to her corset, "Who made this?" Don't have a next time. β
There was nothing wrong with Valentine's costume, but the miniature microphone that should have been stuck inside the corset for recording was revealed.
The recording crew is dealing with these little issues, and Duke calls Lily? Fred, with whom she consulted about Valentine's song and dance, her singing and dancing scene is only this one, the table is very good, according to common sense, this is a good phenomenon, but she is not the heroine, and Velma, one of the heroines, will also play later, and if she is suppressed by a supporting role, it will inevitably affect the film.
Filming was temporarily interrupted, and Catherine was waiting for her after putting on makeup? Zeta? Jones fiddled with his deliberately cut hair, not knowing what he was thinking, when another actress who also appeared in the scene walked over.
"Kate, you should figure out something." She whispered.
"Huh?" Zeta? Jones looked at her in confusion, "Laura? β
"Don't say you don't know."
The blonde woman named Lola said. "She was stealing your play during rehearsals, and today she was so excited, obviously she wanted to give you a good look, don't forget. You're the heroine! β
"Thanks, I know what to do."
Although Zeta? Jones's eyes were cold when she looked at the black woman, but she didn't plan to really do anything, and she knew where the director's bottom line was during this time of getting along. In other respects, it's okay to say, if it affects the shooting......
Yes, she had a lot of intrigues with people throughout the rehearsals, but she knew what was best for her now.
See Zeta? Jones walked over to the director's chair, and the smile on Laura's lips was fleeting, she was also from Broadway, and her first audition role was Velma.
"Tina, can I have a few words with Duke?"
Zeta? Jones was very smart and didn't go stupidly to Duke, but went to Tina? Faye's face. "Something about the characters."
Tina? Faye nodded, waiting for Duke and Lily? After Fred's discussion, he walked up to the front and asked a few words, and beckoned to the back, Zeta? Jones immediately walked over.
"Something?"
Sitting behind the monitor, Duke looked at Zeta, who was dressed in a role? Jones, this woman is indeed very smart, on the eve of the crew's start-up, the main dong approached Duke and asked to cut off his long hair. to avoid the audience not being able to see her face while singing and dancing.
Long hair can be said to be the second life of an actress in this era, and there are very few people who can do it.
Zeta? Jones touched some of Duke's temper and didn't go around in circles. said directly, "I think Mia is too strong today, which may affect me." β
"I see."
Duke is also interested in this question, Mia? Valentine's table xiΓ n is indeed excellent, but the supporting role is the supporting role.
He pointed to the side, Zeta? Jones walked over. With Tina? Fei sat together, no longer speaking, but her eyes were fixed on the monitor.
"Anna." Duke said to the assistant director, "Ready to start shooting." β
Didn't make any changes? Zeta? Jones's brows couldn't help but furrow, but he still sat here with force, and successful directors all have a paranoid side......
However, as soon as she started filming, she realized that she was wrong, and Duke had apparently made a change, and that it had been agreed upon before she came over.
Not much to change, but Zeta? Jones looked over from here, the effect on the monitor, and Mia? Valentine's infectious scene is clearly different.
Is the camera lens no longer facing Mia? Valentine shoots, but from a position of forty-five degrees diagonally to shoot, to Mia? Valentine's side is the focus of the capture, and no matter how good her performance is, her appearance in the camera can only be said to be average.
Simple, isn't it?
Zeta? Jones couldn't help but laugh, the director can easily ruin the actor's carefully prepared performance with just a slight adjustment of the shooting angle, Mia? Valentine is afraid that she will only be able to see the side singing and dancing scenes when the movie is released.
And the other shots, not the other, Zeta? Jones believed that his face alone could hold her down.
At the end of a song and dance between the two black men, Duke shouted to stop, and after a ten-minute break, he did it again, and adjusted the camera position again. Valentine's performance was a little better than just now.
After looking at the two shots again, Duke turned his head, "Kate, you go and prepare, shoot your part first." β
Then, he turned around and shouted to his assistants, "John, the main camera is back in place." Zack, note that you control the red rays. β
"Anna, tell the other performers to prepare for the group dance."
Anna? Prinz nodded and turned to leave, Duke beckoned to the side, wait for Lily? Fred walked over and said, "You control the singing and dancing scenes, my requirements are still the same, there must be explosiveness." β
"I understand."
The crew was running at full capacity, and twenty minutes later, Catherine? Zeta? Jones stood behind the prison gates, and the other actors were in Lily? Fred's command was put in place one after another.
"Scene 45, Act 11." Anna? The field sign in Prinz's hand is placed in front of the camera, "Start now!" β
The actors and actresses turned to both sides one after another to support Kesert? Zeta? Jones, the heroine, played Velma, who she played, wriggled and walked out of the crowd.
"My sister Vinica and I are acting as a duo, and my husband Charlie is torn between the two of us......"
It's a very simple monologue shot, and Duke calls out tongguΓ² directly, but the ensuing shoot runs into some trouble.
A group dance dominated by Velma, because it was rehearsed for several months in advance, it was not a problem at all, Zeta? Jones's table is okay too, maybe Mia? Valentine's performance was ahead, and Duke always felt that there was something missing from this Velma.
Shouting to stop the crew, the Duke Tong GuΓ² monitor looked at the footage just shot again, "John...... And Kate, come here. β
John? Schwartzman and Catherine? Zeta? Jones walked over together, Duke picked on the group dance screen of the Killer Six, pressed pause, and pointed at Zeta? Lola on either side of Jones? Yang and Mia? Valentine said, "John, adjust the aperture and blur the two of them. β
Duke looked at Zeta again? Jones, "You can be better!" β
"I ......" Zeta? Jones opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, in the eyes of the director, the actor Yongyuan is only better, not the best.
"You're too reserved." Duke frowned and thought for a moment, staring at Zeta? Jones said, "I want your singing to be more explosive, your dancing to be more spontaneous and wild, and to sing and dance out all the anger and resentment in the hearts of your characters!" β
Duke coldly admonished her, "You were Mia? Valentine pressed the play, this is not what a heroine should have. β
Catherine? Zeta? Jones took a few deep breaths, knowing that it wouldn't help at all to deal with the director, and that the only thing that was convincing was singing, dancing and acting.
"Can you give me ten minutes?"
Hear Zeta? Jones's words, Duke nodded, and sat back in his chair, "Don't let me down, Kate." β
Catherine? Zeta? Jones worked hard, Duke confirmed, and after months of rehearsals, she was quite proficient in dancing and singing, although she was also from a professional background, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change her disadvantage, and the explosiveness of her voice and movements was slightly inferior to that of a black actor with an innate advantage.
Mia? It is not for nothing that Valentine can get the role of Verma in the revue.
Ten minutes later, the crew resumed filming, Zeta? Jones's cousin still couldn't satisfy Duke, if not John? Schwartzman used camera tricks to downplay Mia on her side? Valentine, when the film is released, it will really steal the limelight from the character actors.
Shouting to stop five times in a row, Duke didn't say anything, and everyone knew that the problem was with the actors.
"You've got a lot of dance scenes too."
In the makeshift rest of the studio, Naomi? Watts watched the set in casual clothes, and it was the agent Nancy who spoke, "Are you mentally prepared, Nami?" You should know Duke's personality, he will treat you like this, as long as you can't satisfy him, he will keep filming and make you jump. β
Naomi? Watts looked at the once familiar and now unfamiliar director, "If you count from the very beginning, I have been preparing for this role for two years, and everyone else thinks that Duke will fail, but I believe that he will succeed, and I will succeed!" β
"As long as Chicago lives up to expectations." Nancy seemed to be encouraged, and as if to agitate, "As the heroine, you can be among the quasi-first-line, or even the first-line." β
"I'll give all my power!"
Naomi? Watts glanced coldly at Catherine, who was still tormented by the director? Zeta? Jones, turning and walking towards the dance studio, in preparation for the pas de deux that would begin filming in two days. (To be continued.) )
