Chapter 231: Handsome Men and Beautiful Women

"You know I'm in this life, and I just want to have my own performances."

Standing on a mirror-smooth stage, Naomi? Watts finally took off her ugly prison clothes, put on a sexy, tight short dance dress, and showed off her delicate curves in front of the camera, she looked beautiful, proud, and proud, like Hollywood's top star, perhaps this is also a true portrayal of her heart after years of continuous efforts.

"But it backfired," she shook her fingers, "I always can't get my wish, the world is so big that it hits walls everywhere, and then Amos comes, safe and lovely Amos......"

Duke's eyes took off the monitor and looked at Naomi in front of the camera? Watts, removing Lockhy's vulgar, vicious and other overly negative settings, this character is in some ways similar to Naomi? Watts's experience has a common side, they all want to find their own performance stage, but they can't find it.

Perhaps it was these that made her have obvious deviations in grasping the role, and shaped Lockhee into a star-studded star.

"Stop!"

There was no need to continue filming at all, and Duke shouted to stop after the music and Naomi? Watts' monologue stopped instantly, and he said to the stage, "Nami, come here." ”

Naomi? Watts quickly walked over, looked at Duke, and asked, "Did I make a mistake again?" ”

More than three months of filming is simply a nightmare, ** not only faced huge psychological pressure, but also physical and energy consumption, especially a few of the songs and dances, which time did not end with blood blisters on the feet?

But at the same time, she has also gained a lot, the strict requirements of the young director, the tireless talking, and the guidance given have made her significantly improved, and she even feels that she can play any role that requires acting skills in the future.

There is a give. There is a harvest, which is simply the best portrayal of more than 100 days.

Turning off the monitor, Duke turned around and asked, "Nami, what kind of character is Lockey?" ”

"Petite and beautiful. Dreams of singing and dancing. "Naomi? Watts didn't think at all, and said directly, "Ignorant, vicious, greedy for vanity, unscrupulous, she is a woman with morally corrupt snakes." ”

Duke knocked the armrest of his chair, made a clanging sound, and asked, "What do you think of your cousin?" It's like a vulgar viciousness. A woman who mocks her kind husband? Or like a radiant star? ”

Keep your head down, Naomi? Watts was thinking.

This is the last scene, Duke didn't want to drag it on, and simply said, "Your performance just now was very charming and attractive, but women's attractiveness is divided into different types and grades, and Lockhee looks down on her husband." Even take couple sex. Love to laugh at him, it's your one-man show. But it's Lockhee's imagination, and you need to laugh, please, and even tease the audience that doesn't exist in reality, and that there are viewers in Lockhee's fantasies. ”

Taking a sip from his coffee cup, Duke added, "It's just a pipe dream from Lockhee, and she's showing the most vulgar charm of women." You can also understand it this way, she is just posting. Disturb. ”

"Duke," Naomi? He looked at this side with a complicated look, "I know what to do." ”

Duke waved his hand at her, "You go and rest." Start again in ten minutes. ”

The short break is over, and as soon as QiΔ“ is ready, the shooting kicks off again, maybe Duke's point just now played a role, Naomi? Watts' watch is a sight to behold.

Her monologue to the beat of the music is funny and makes you feel disdain for the characters she describes; She danced very lazily and confidently, but with the bright silver short dance skirt, it looked very vulgar; She twisted her soft waist vigorously, her face was full of charm, very beautiful and charming, like a low-level glamorous dancing girl, no matter how you look at it, she is not the star that Lockhee dreams of becoming.

After a short singing session, the backing dancers took to the stage, using a group dance to highlight the heroine of Lockhee, who stood in the middle, as if she had really become the center point of Chicago.

Finally, Naomi? Watts walked over to the red 'Lockhee,' scratching his head as if he were a cupboard girl who had just stepped out of the red light district.

β€œgreat!” Duke let out a sigh, "It's over! ”

As his voice sounded, more relieved voices came from the studio, and the more than 110 days of filming made the entire crew almost collapse.

Not to mention others, Duke, the director, is also physically and mentally exhausted, and on "Chicago", he has even paid more time and energy than "Life and Death".

Eighty percent of the reason can be attributed to his lack of professional singing and dancing literacy.

Turning off the monitor, Duke clapped his palms, the crisp sound caught everyone's attention, and said, "It's an unusual experience, it's a new experience for us as a team, I know you're tired and looking forward to the holidays, but you're not there yet." ”

He himself laughed first, "I've been with Johnny? Depp got in touch and there's going to be a party at his Viper House bar tomorrow night, you know what's there. ”

The originally decadent faces of the crowd couldn't help but perk up, and some young people even burst into cheers, Depp's bar has always been a Hollywood carnival, with both beautiful women and handsome men.

The studio is gradually quiet, everyone is busy with the work at hand, Duke is also reviewing the film shot today, Naomi after removing her makeup? Watts walked over and with Tina? Faye said hello and came to Duke.

"Thank you, Duke." She looked at Duke with an extremely complicated look in her eyes, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

"Nami, it's the result of your efforts."

Duke had long since decided not to continue the relationship, and gently patted her on the shoulder, "Remember what I said to you?" Identify the goal, don't hesitate, keep working hard, maybe when we work together again in the future, you have become a top actress. ”

Meat between the two sides. The relationship was completely over a year ago, and Duke has paid off the favor owed by the fire.

Duke knows this, Naomi? Watts also knew this, and the two first came together more out of physiological needs.

Naomi? Watts turned away, Duke looked at her back, there was no regret or nostalgia, this is Hollywood, and things are happening all the time to end the relationship between men and women; This is North America, a country that is extremely self-conscious, and no woman who has embarked on the road to success is willing to be a man's plaything.

And Duke doesn't have the mentality of a person who takes for granted that he will succeed in everything he doesβ€”what he has seen, what he sees, what he can't see, and what he has thrown aside and what he has just encountered, these people, possessions, and things must be his own.

Duke never thought of himself as the center point of the world, or even the center of Hollywood, Sophie? What Marceau did, he also told him that the women who walked into this circle did not want to be vassals.

They have a very simple relationship, simple at the beginning and just as simple at the end.

"What do you think?"

A familiar question sounded from the side, Catherine? Zeta? Jones stopped behind him, "Still thinking about the film? ”

Turning his head, Duke looked at Zeta? Jones said, "The shooting is complete, and it's time to step up the publicity." ”

…………

Broadway Avenue runs from Battery Park to Manhattan Island from south to north, and is an important place for American theater and musicals because of the numerous theaters on both sides of the road, and "Broadway" has become synonymous with musicals.

As night falls, the heart of Broadway on 42nd Street is lit up, and although the musical is no longer as glorious as it once was, it still attracts large audiences, especially this season, when the old classic "Chicago" re-entered Broadway after more than a year of re-choreography, attracting many nostalgic audiences to the theater.

Forty-second Street is close to the famous Times Square and is surrounded by dozens of theaters, and in the middle of it is the nation's commercial theater entertainment center, where the huge billboard erected here has long been dedicated to popular musical performances.

The billboard is diagonally facing the theater where the musical "Chicago" is performing, and the name of Chicago on it is particularly prominent, coupled with the exaggerated colors and ornate design, people passing by around can't help but take a few looks.

After all, the advertisement for the movie version of "Chicago" is erected in front of the theater of the revue version of "Chicago", and it is difficult not to get attention.

In particular, the three male and female protagonists on the billboard are particularly eye-catching. Cruise stood in the center in a crisp old-fashioned suit, and two flamboyant girls in short dresses with contrasting black and white were clustered around him.

Although movies and musicals are not measured by beauty, no one can deny that the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is particularly eye-catching.

Don't say anything nostalgic audiences can't get used to this, the advertisement can be designed like this, the Warner Bros. of the promoter has done a lot of targeted research, and the scale of the musical "Chicago" is much larger than the movie version, which is full of a lot of sex. In the teasing scene, the female actors' dance skirts are even so short that they can't be shorter, and the clothes are so small that they can't be less.

Of course, in elegant terms, this is for the sake of art, but in reality everyone knows why the troupe is doing it.

It's not just this part, Broadway, London's West End, and other places where the revival of the show is staged on a large scale, all have similar movie billboards, and will accompany the whole season, and the movie version is borrowing the revue version for promotion.

"Same wonderful, different Chicago!"

This is the main promotional slogan of the film in the early stage, and the film's North American release date is set for a very targeted Thanksgiving Christmas file. (To be continued......)
