doesn't mention Sean's, nor does he mention the public relations of the awards season, but still set his sights on the filming of "The Artist". Although the scheduled start time was mid-December, due to some willingness, it was finally officially launched before the release of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", that is, before Christmas.

Therefore, there was a holiday after two days of shooting, first the Christmas holiday, then the New Year's holiday, and it was 1 week in January before it was restarted.

But this didn't delay much time, as I said before, this movie is still very easy if it is just filmed, there are no lines, no color, and the focus is only on the performance of the actors and ...... Soundtrack.

Yes, in today's world that has been influenced by various movies, if you want to attract audiences, you can't just rely on nostalgia. But this is a silent film, there are no dialogues and lines, it can move the audience, convey the emotions of the characters, and there are not many means that can be used.

In addition to the actors' physical performances and facial expressions, there are also some eye-catching small details, such as the director's proposal to add a puppy, and the rest is only the soundtrack.

So Hazanavicius recommended his old partner Lukevedo Bruce, they had worked together many times, they were familiar with each other's habits, and although they were in their 30s, they did have some strength.

"He was able to add a brilliant color to the film with music." That's what Hazanavicius said.

Sean and Weinstein exchanged opinions and agreed to his recommendation, it is naturally good to have musicians who are familiar with the director, and this is post-production, if it doesn't work, they can be replaced immediately, Weinstein has several alternatives in his hands.

"You stand on both sides, just take a short section through the baffle, it doesn't need to be complicated, a few simple movements are enough. It is obviously a little more interesting for the hero and heroine to officially meet in this situation, and at the same time set the stage for the final tap dance. Standing in the middle of the studio, Hazanavicius, dressed in simple attire, spoke to Sean and Naomi.

"No problem, let's do it once." Sean raised his hands to show that he understood.

Hazanavicius then looked at Naomi, who nodded, "I see." ”

This first encounter between the two, to be exact, is the official first meeting, they first met at the premiere, or the heroine of the male protagonist's fans, accidentally kissed the male protagonist in public, so it was photographed by reporters on both sides and published in the newspaper, and it also caused a family crisis for the male protagonist.

Then, when the male protagonist wants to shoot a new movie and cast for it, and the heroine, who aspires to be an actress, participates in the casting, she meets the male protagonist in the studio and a subtle chemical reaction occurs.

This plot is not described in detail in the script, this kind of thing is normal, the script cannot write all the details, how to shoot depends on the director's performance. Therefore, it is very important to have a director who has ideas and is good at communicating, and can show the images in his mind to various departments.

There is only one sentence in the script about this plot, the hero and heroine meet again in the studio, and Hazanavicius wants to make it more interesting and meaningful, so he designed such a scene.

Because the heroine is only a small supporting role, there is no fixed dressing room, and it is all built with baffles. The actor and the director discussed the dance, and wanted to remove some of the baffles to make the venue wider, not realizing that there was a dressing room in the back.

The heroine didn't expect anyone to be outside, so she practiced a short tap dance behind the baffle independently, so the worker lifted the baffle to reveal her dancing feet. The male protagonist suddenly became interested, and after she finished jumping, he also followed a paragraph, and the heroine came back after being provoked over there, and the male protagonist immediately followed, until the producer came.

The producer was very angry about this, but he couldn't lose his temper with the male lead, so he poured his anger on the heroine who played a small supporting role, and asked her to get out. Of course, the actor stood up to stop his behavior, and didn't care about the trouble that the heroine caused him on the red carpet before, so that she could stay, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork for the relationship between the two.

It sounds complicated, but the actual shooting is still very simple, and the biggest difficulty is only a few tap dances, and both Sean and Naomi, even if they are not yet up to the standard of the last part, are still easy to deal with here.

"Good practice lately, Sean." When she was done, Naomi quipped.

"Of course," Sean replied first, and then reacted and slapped her ****, "We practice together every day, you still don't know how far I've come?" ”

"Aren't you worried about being seen?" Naomi glanced at him, but with a charming look.

Then, she immediately made a sudden look again: "By the way, I forgot, you already have an arrangement, don't you?" ”

As she spoke, she glanced over to a corner of the break area where sat a plump woman with red hair who was about to play the heroine's wife in the movie, flipping through the script

"It seems that when I go back tonight, I will study this issue with you." Sean said that he was going to fight again, but Naomi dodged lightly and quickly left his side, looking like he was going to keep his distance from him.

Sean shook his head, then looked at Christina Hendrix in the distance, who sensed his gaze and looked up, giving him an unabashed wink.

At first, he didn't want to find Christina to play a role in "The Artist", he just casually mentioned her after meeting her at a party, and there were many more people at the time. Unexpectedly, this woman came to the door soon, even if Sean told her that the movie would not have much box office, and the character didn't care if he didn't have many scenes.

"I just want to work with you, Sean." The big-breasted redhead said.

So, looking at her pair of great shores - I have to say, it is very satisfying to clip - Sean agreed to her request, and then smiled, if there was an affair with her at that time, the pressure on Naomi would be reduced a lot, so I occasionally flirted with her in the past few days of filming.

Naomi saw all this, but she didn't say much, the two had been practicing tap dancing together, and she understood these things. Besides, it's not that she doesn't know what kind of person Sean is, so even if she is dissatisfied, she can only occasionally say a few provocative words.

I have to say that whenever she makes this look, it's really cute, and Naomi is so attractive, although the previous one was good, but it was a little bland.

Of course, Sean will definitely consider her mood and feelings, so although he flirted with Christina on the set, he never went to the secret corner with her to make love, even if the other party hinted at it many times.

However, in addition to Christina, there is another girl who is related to Sean who also has a role in this movie, that is, Abby Cornish, an Australian girl who is very similar to Nicole.

She didn't come voluntarily like Christina, she was called by Sean, after all, she had fewer roles in this role than Christina, and after becoming popular with the image of Pepper in "Iron Man", she played the heroine in an independent film with a good reputation. Even if the latter does not have good grades, her role is very average, but there is no need to participate in a dispensable supporting role like the heroine's friend in "The Artist".

But Abby still came, very obediently, which made Sean very satisfied, and the reason why he called her was to see if she was obedient. For now, it seems that she still knows what she should do, but it is also due to Nicole.

Because of what Sean said to Nicole at the beginning, she looked at Abby differently, and she promoted it several times in more than a year, and Abby's title of "Little Nicole Kidman" went far and wide and was recognized by people.

So Sean was quite obscene in his heart, although considering that Nicole and Naomi are best friends, he can't make out in bed with them, but it seems to be very rewarding to get Nicole and Abby with similar faces together, and it would be better if Abby could learn like Nicole in all aspects.

Well, that's all for later, now let's get the movie and other things out of the way.

In addition to filming, it is naturally public relations, since Sean said before that he wants public relations and public relations with great fanfare, then he has to run around like last year.

But don't worry, when calculating the shooting cycle before, it was as long as possible, and after starting the actual shooting, it is estimated that it will only take 6 weeks at most to complete, so the time is enough, and Sean can also participate in various PR parties and parties with confidence.

It didn't seem to help, and at the Golden Globe Awards in mid-January, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which was supposed to be a big hit, didn't win anything. Well, even if Sean won Best Actor in a Drama last year, he will definitely not give it again this year, David Fincher is not liked by the Press Guild, so he didn't have a chance to win Best Director and Best Drama Film, but at least it's okay to win a screenwriting award, right?

So after the results came out, many media were surprised and thought that the Golden Globes were unfair, but this is all a cliché, and the Golden Globes are like the Oscars, and they will not change anything because of this.

In this way, coupled with the previous major Film Critics Association awards, Sean didn't get any of them, and it didn't look very good, and then the Oscar nominations were finally announced.

A full 13 nominations once again made "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" eye-catching, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, etc., especially Best Actor, which put Sean on the cusp of the storm.

Everyone knows that his performance in "Milk" last year was so good that he was fully qualified to win a trophy, but the Oscar would rather give Lewis a second statuette than encourage the talented young man, so much so that the media later attacked him and thought that the film school owed him something.

Now that he's on the nominee list again, and the number of people involved in the competition isn't very high, is it possible to get compensated this year?
