"I heard you went back to Canada the other day?"

Sitting casually on the couch, Duke said in a casual tone, to Allen? Peggy said, "It should be winter over there, right?" ”

Allan? Peggy nodded, "It's snowing over there, but it's about to start summer here, the world is really amazing." ”

"Making a film is a process of experiencing the wonders of the world." Duke laughed, "You can see the wonder of the sudden transition from winter to summer, and you can see why other people are happy and sad." ”

After a few casual conversations with the little girl, seeing that she was gradually relaxed, Duke changed the subject again, "I heard Kate say, you are happy to play with her?" ”

"yes, I usually call Kate's mother." She reached out and hugged Kate? Beckinsale's arm, "Kate likes me a lot, and I like Kate too." ”

"Then you should be happy to be with Kate." Duke instructed her, "Why was you so stiff just now?" ”

"Uh......" Allen? Peggy shook her little head, "I'm just a little nervous." ”

"Kate is your mother." Duke vs. Kate? Beckinsale winked, and she immediately answered, "Yes, dear, you weren't nervous at all when you used to get along with me. ”

"I'm just ......," she hung her head, "I'm a little afraid I'm not good at it." ”

"And now." Duke asked.

"I'll prove myself!"

Children around the age of ten are the age of competition, "wait and see." ”

"I'll wait."

Duke tapped her with his finger and was about to stand up and go back to the monitor, but the girl on the other side suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said in a tone that only the three of them could hear. "Can I ask you a question, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and if I don't know the answer, my curiosity will always torment me."

"Say hello." Duke said nonchalantly.

"That ......" Allen? Peggy turned to look at Kate? Beckinsale, sticking out his tongue, asked. "Are all the directors in Hollywood as patient as you are?"

"You'll understand later." Duke smiled and left the side.

Behind the shoot, Alan? Peggy's performance was still a little tight, but it was much better than during the test shoot, and talent is sometimes something that can't be replaced by hard work, and as she reshoots again and again, her performance is getting better and better, and even in Duke's opinion, if the next shoot is in progress. Allan? If Peggy is adjusted out of his state, she can talk to the literary girl Scarlett? Johnson's performance in "The Horse Whisperer".

Especially after the three, when filming the fourth, anyone can see Allen? Peggy's huge improvement compared to this amazingly gifted girl, Kate? Beckinsale was really just acting, and what her best talent was, Duke didn't quite know. But definitely not a show.

As an actor, Kate? Beckinsale's talent can only be described as very average.

Subsequently. With Liam? Neeson's rivalry with police officer Michael also fully exposes her shortcomings.

Liam? Neeson has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he is not known for his excellent acting skills, and his talent can only be regarded as mediocre, but Kate? Beckinsale is obviously not a grade behind him.

Duke looked at the frame on the monitor. There was no immediate stop.

Kate? Beckinsale's character, Catherine's husband, a bank escort, was shot dead during a robbery, and Michael, who was in charge of investigating the case, came to inform her, and the family fun with his daughter dissipated instantly. Grief permeated every corner of this home.

As scripted and scenario-driven, Kate? Beckinsale needs to express shock, disbelief, disbelief, and grief, but her pretty face is really a little stiff, and although these expressions can be made, the traces of the performance are too obvious.

In other words, she's performing for show's sake.

"Stop!"

Duke finally shouted a halt while asking the assistant to take Kate? Beckinsale called out, pointed to the replaying footage on the monitor, and said, "Can you see your problem?" ”

"Hmm." Kate? Beckinsale looked at it and nodded.

"You have ten minutes to adjust."

After Duke finished speaking, Kate? Beckinsale walked to the makeshift resting area, and immediately had a makeup artist follow her to touch up her makeup.

Ten minutes went by quickly, and after filming started again, Kate? Beckinsale's table is a little better, but the improved Cheng dù is too limited.

The moment when a person experiences a huge emotional impact is often the place where the most exquisite acting skills are made, in just a few seconds, several expressions are changed in a row, not to mention the current Kate? Beckinsale, even when she starred in "Van Helsing" at its most glory, had an extremely difficult time to do so.

In this case, there is no need to talk about the drama at all, the requirements of the scene for the actors are clear at a glance, and Duke can't give Kate either? Beckinsale has too many acting directions, and as a professional actor, she is much better than Duke's acting skills.

“Cut！”

After the Nth shouting stop, even if Duke is not James? Cameron's style of director gradually became angry in his voice, and half an afternoon passed in one shot, and it was impossible for the entire crew to accompany an actor to consume time endlessly.

"I'm sorry ......"

The crew is on a break, Kate? Beckinsale also knew that this was entirely her problem and ran over to apologize to Duke.

"Keep you in the best shape."

Anger didn't solve anything, and Duke thought for a moment and said, "I'll make adjustments." ”

Since the actor can't do it, in order to shoot according to the plan, he, the director, has to make some adjustments, and such adjustments will not have a great impact on the film, and it will be the actors who will be affected more.

In fact, the adjustment is very simple, the camera has been giving Kate just now? A large close-up of Beckinsale's front, reducing the close-up to her whole person, and adjusting the camera to the side to shoot, then the flaws in her acting skills will be masked.

Under normal circumstances, the director will not treat the main actor like this, an actor can only leave a deep enough impression on the audience if he appears in a close-up in the shot, if it is not for the director to deliberately fix the actor, or the actor is really not up to the requirements, few directors will give a side shot of the main actor when they need a frontal close-up.

Yes, Duke could continue filming on this shot, and strictly speaking, the crew had plenty of time.

But the question is, he guò this nearly twenty times NG discovery, Kate? Beckinsale's plasticity is very average, and the progress process after repeating it many times can only be said to be better than nothing, and there is no need to waste time at all.

Sure enough, vases and vampires with tense faces and no expressions are the most suitable characters for her.

Duke can only come to this conclusion, acting is the same as most industries in this world, there are also talent requirements, and people without talent often need to put in ten times or more effort to have a good performance.

Kate? Beckinsale may go to independent films for five to ten years to hone his acting skills, but it is absolutely impossible to shoot a movie in a short time.

Besides, with her appearance and acting skills that can reach the basic line, as long as she is lucky, she is enough to live comfortably in this circle.

How many actresses are willing to give up making vases to make easy money and make a name for themselves, and hone their acting skills in the extremely low-income, chaotic independent film world?

What's more, how many people can really get out of the independent film circle?

Seeing the crew adjust the camera position, Kate? Beckinsale immediately understood Duke's intentions, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, but Duke didn't care about her thoughts at all, wasting time was equal to wasting money, he was the director and producer of this crew, and he didn't need to explain the decision to anyone except Warner Bros.

Filming soon resumed, and after only two NGs, Duke shouted tongguò, and today's filming ended.

The filming of a film is a long-term process, the director is the leader in the shooting, and to the status of Duke, it is definitely the master of the entire crew, the crew of "One Hundred Thousand Urgent" needs a run-in process like other crews, after the first week of slow and jerky operation, the crew has gradually matured since mid-November, and the actors in various positions have gradually found their best condition, and the overall shooting is quite smooth.

Just after that adjustment, Kate? Beckinsale obviously has some opinions about Duke, but Duke doesn't care, whether the movie is important or an actress is important, he doesn't have to make a choice at all.

Compared to Kate, who has a lot of performance traces? Beckinsale, Jennifer, a youth idol? Ralph? Hewitt surprises Duke, who has spent most of the past month in a drug rehabilitation facility near Wellington in addition to rehearsing and studying character scripts, interacting with girls who are actually using drugs.

There may not be a return for paying, but there is absolutely no return for not paying, Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt's rebellious drug-addicted daughter is definitely the biggest surprise in the filming this time.

"I value this role."

In addition to filming, she will also come over and take the initiative to exchange roles with Duke, and occasionally talk about other topics, "Since the beginning, I have been regarded as a youth puppet, which is my biggest capital, but it is too difficult for an idol to transform, and I finally met such a suitable role." ”

Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt looked at Duke seriously and said, "I know very well that my idol road is coming to an end, and if I don't take the opportunity and don't work hard, Hollywood will soon forget who I am." I'm willing to pay any price as long as I can meet your requirements, and if you think my performance isn't enough, I can suck. After the poison, come and shoot the character to suck. Poisonous madness scenes. (To be continued......)
