Chapter 121: It's Always So Painful
"Nate ......"
Mrs. Shelly pushed the door open and walked in, frowned when she saw the young men and women close together, and reminded, "Nat, it's time for you to touch up your makeup." ”
"Haode, Mom, I'll go." Stroking the pendant around her neck, Natalie jumped out of the room, and the depression of the previous few days disappeared without a trace.
A little weakly glanced at Mrs. Shelly, and Ryan quietly followed, huh...... Fortunately, I just seemed to be a little closer to Natalie, otherwise I might have been sued for molesting a girl.
He subconsciously ignored that he was just a Zhengtai.
In the makeshift dressing room, the makeup artist was applying smears on Natalie's face, and in just a moment, there were a lot of scars on the girl's angular face, blue and purple, which was really pitiful.
At this moment, there was the sound of talking and footsteps outside, and then a blonde woman walked in with another little shota.
The little guy looked like he was seven or eight years old at most, with short blond hair covering his head softly, and his distinctive facial features had a little Jewish characteristics, but he was less boyish and more girlish.
There is only one character in the script who is suitable for this age, and it should be Matilda's younger brother. Ryan looked him up and down, and suddenly had a sense of disobedience, could it be that there is a pseudo-mother in this era? This little guy is a little too girly, right?
"Hello, Mrs. Melanie." Obviously, Natalie was familiar with them.
"Hello, Nat."
It was the little guy who answered, and the soft words fell into Ryan's ears, causing him to pout again, what is Luc Besson doing? Chose such a person to play Matilda's younger brother?
Well, it doesn't matter, Matilda's brother doesn't have a few shots in total, not even a single line.
Then, Ryan saw the blonde woman talking intimately to Julis Stewart, and roughly guessed what was going on, and the other party seemed to be an acquaintance of Julis, who got the role for her son on the basis of a relationship.
This is normal, in Hollywood, actors introduced by acquaintances and celebrities in the circle have an innate advantage.
"Ryan, this is Ms. Melanie Sloan, a well-known producer in New York." Julis led the blonde woman to him, and Ryan stood up and shook her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Sloane." ”
"Hello, Ryan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Ryan made a general observation, and the woman was clearly also Jewish.
"That's right, Ryan." Julis then added, "We don't have a capable producer here, and I want to invite Melanie to join Jenkins Films." ”
"This ......," Ryan scratched his head, "it's good that you and Pat have an idea." ”
After the two left, Ryan sat quietly on the side, not bothering the others, only to see Natalie and the little guy chatting affectionately, as if they had a common topic.
It turned out to be an insider! Ryan shook his head, it's not very obvious now, but after entering the new century, there are more and more new stars in Hollywood, who are from acting families.
Especially with the continuous emergence of big productions, it is a huge risk to take the risk of bringing in newcomers without foundation, and when most of the investment is thrown into special effects, and there is not enough money to invite big-name stars, production companies will naturally set their sights on the descendants of Hollywood stars and their loved ones, and the innate advantages and boos that can be constantly hyped have made many producers happy.
“cut!”
Luc Besson sighed, but he couldn't get out of his temper, who let the other party be just an eight-year-old child.
Besides, he did well yesterday, and today this shot is a bit difficult, after all, you can't ask every kid to be a talent like Ryan Jenkins or Natalie Portman, right?
"Mom, am I making a mistake again?" The little guy's voice is soft and glutinous, no matter how you listen to it, she looks like a little pseudo-girl.
"Lady Melanie, shall we talk?" Natalie walked over and comforted her, and the little one's expression as if she was about to cry faded away.
"Afraid! Do you understand, it's the trembling of fear, like ......" Natalie scratched her bob, "It's like being alone in a room in the dark......"
"It's still thundering and raining outside, and Mom and Dad aren't at home?" The little one was clever and immediately understood the meaning of Natalie's words.
"yes, that's what it feels like."
"Haode, I think I know what to do, Nat."
Maybe Natalie's words really worked, or maybe it was one of the few shots that wasn't particularly difficult, and in the next hour or so, he completed all his own shots.
"Rest for half an hour!" Luc Besson gave the order, and the crew dispersed in a hurry.
"Nat, why don't you introduce your new friends?" Ryan looked at the little guy Natalie was holding as he walked, "This little gentleman, can you tell me your name?" ”
"Gentleman?" Natalie rolled her eyes.
"Nat, is this the idiot you are talking about? But...... But...... He's Ryan! ”
"Isn't he a fool who thinks you're a boy, my dear?" Natalie said as a matter of course.
"Male...... Boy? I...... I'm a girl. ”
Girl? Ryan felt a crow fly overhead, who had the bad idea to have a girl come and make a cameo appearance as Matilda's brother!
Rolled his eyes, and looked at the little guy again, Ryan sighed, a child of this age cut his hair short, and it is really difficult to distinguish between men and women from their appearance, no wonder they feel that the other party has a pseudo-girlish temperament, it turns out that they are girls.
"Alright then, little lady, can you tell me your name?" Ryan smiled kindly.
"Don't tell him." Natalie raised an eyebrow.
"You...... Hello, Ryan. Apparently, Natalie miscalculated Ryan's influence among teenagers, "I'm Scarlett Johansson, you can call me Scarlett......"
"Scarlett, you're a little traitor!" Natalie snorted disapprovingly.
Scarlett Johansson? Ryan's gaze swept over the other party's face, this stupid and cute little guy will be the black ** in his previous life? It's not like it at all.
Even if it is, there is nothing surprising that Ryan has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of unfamous stars, and he doesn't find it strange.
Although the little guy had a crush on him, at this age, there were more common topics between girls and girls, and after saying a few words, Ryan felt bored and simply stepped aside and sat down quietly.
When Jean Reno's arrived, the crew moved to the stairwell outside the apartment and began filming the rivalry between Leon and Matilda.
"Scene 5 and Act 11, start filming now!"
Grabbing the pocket of his trench coat, Leon's tall figure turned the stairs and entered the stairwell, squinting at Matilda leaning on the guardrail, the little girl turned her body, holding the guardrail with one hand and snooping with the other, still making a low sobbing sound.
After looking up and seeing that there was no one else around, Leon took out a snow-white handkerchief from the pocket of his trench coat and handed it over silently.
As if she didn't expect this silent man to do this, Matilda hesitated, but Zuihou took the handkerchief anyway, wiped the blood from her nose, and stared at Leon with her big eyes, full of hope, "Is life always so painful, or is it only in childhood?" ”
Her big eyes didn't blink, as if the other party's words were all her hope.
"It's always so painful!" The tall man, after being silent for a while, gave this answer.
The sparkle in Matilda's eyes instantly dissipated, and despair gradually appeared in her already painful eyes, and the pair of big eyes closed hard, as if the whole Shijie had abandoned her.
"Keep it." Leon turned and left.
"I'm going to the grocery store to buy something, do you want me to buy you some milk?" Matilda grabbed the guardrail, shook her body and asked, "One or two?" Two? Is that right? ”
Seeing the tall man nodding slowly, Matilda smiled happily and jumped down the stairs Xiangxia.
Leon remained silent, slowly but steadily walking back into his room.
"It's over!"
After hearing Luc Besson's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, after NG nearly ten times, whether it was Jean Renault or Natalie, this time the performance can only be described as perfect.
Ryan sighed, there is never a shortage of geniuses on this shijie, and the girl opposite is definitely an out-and-out genius in performance! All the keys to this shot are almost entirely focused on Matilda's body, and in his imagination, even Natalie, if she doesn't NG dozens of times, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this can be called one of the most classic shots of her girlhood.
What I didn't expect was that in less than ten times, she grasped Matilda's despair and pain, maybe she was born for Matilda, or maybe Matilda became a classic because of her.
In terms of acting skills alone, I am indeed slightly better now, but what about a few years from now? Ryan knew very well that without the accumulation of the previous life, without the blessing of a certain great god when he was reborn in this life, he and her would not be at the same level of existence at all.
In his previous life, "The Social Network" had a sentence, "Harvard University has produced 15 Pulitzer Prize winners, 2 Olympians, and a movie star." ”
This movie star is naturally Natalie Portman, and frankly, her life is a game of constantly fighting monsters and upgrading, and a movie Shijie is famous......
In his previous life, he doubted for a while that Natalie must have gotten the invincible golden finger before this copy of her next life, and her career and studies were correct......
Well, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely pour the French into concrete piers and throw them into the Hudson estuary! Ryan said in his heart.
…… Recently, everyone understands that there are too many things that have been blocked, and it is difficult for me to find them one by one...... Ask for a recommendation...... Ask for collections
