Chapter 119: Black Swan
Judy never knew that playing a villain role was such a joyful thing.
Powerful, feminist, homosexual.
Charlotte's role setting for the serial killer is, to a certain extent, a copy of Judy.
Although I don't know if this setting is a coincidence or the other party is deliberate, Judy knows that she can play this role in her true colors.
All she had to do was express the anger and resentment she had been holding up in her heart for so long in a crazy way.
This is really not a problem for a double Oscar-winning actress.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would be so deep in the play all of a sudden-
With the director's "Action", she was immersed in a layer of violent emotions.
This is the mood of the character she designed for herself.
Although because of the short appearance time of the character and the relatively exaggerated overall performance, the image of the serial killer can be played well by Judy whether it is a pure performance expressionist or a methodological school that focuses on the heart, but she finally chose the methodological way.
Because, she thinks, it seems to be a good channel to vent the pressure that has been there for a long time.
The character setting, which is like a blackened version of herself, allows Judy to easily and reasonably express all the pressure that was pressed on her heart before.
This made it extremely easy for her to get into the role, and even had a sense of immersion.
This even scared Judy a little.
As if she had lost control, she was completely following the character's movements.
Judy knows that this is a manifestation of deep into the play. Although she used to use methodist performances in the past, she rarely achieved this state.
This is the realm that only great gods such as Daniel Day-Lewis can reach in legend.
Although Judy has won two Oscars, she is actually outside the top hall in this regard.
After all, she herself is too rational and smart, and her career success has prevented her from climbing to the top of her acting skills to a certain extent.
However, today's role suddenly made her step into the door of the highest hall-
The depth of the play made Judy's dark emotions that had been stored in her heart pour out.
That kind of hearty venting made her feel slightly drunk, and even had an urge to moan.
Revel in this feeling, even the pleasure of being withdrawn from negative emotions brought by the human skin book in the past seems insignificant.
Judy performed to her heart's content, releasing her inner emotions. She seemed to be floating in the clouds, fluttering up and down her body, until—
"Bang!"
The prop gun seems to be extra loud. It's just an empty bag, but Judy has a feeling of being hit in the heart.
“Cut!”
With the sound of voices, the scene finally ended.
As if the tide had receded, the feeling of immersion in the play slowly disappeared from Judy, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease.
Judy's heart has never been easier in ten years.
It was as if all the emotions that had been pent up over the years since the Hinckley incident had vanished, and Judy learned for the first time what it was like to feel relieved.
However, this sense of ease was soon replaced by embarrassment -
Because she felt the slightest dampness and stickiness underneath her.
Hearing the gunshots, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he didn't do anything to replace empty ammunition with live ammunition. After all, even if you kill Jodie Foster, the matter of painting the skin will not end there.
He had to go to the problem in a more fundamental way.
Of course, that doesn't mean he didn't play tricks this time.
In fact, both Charlize and Jodie Foster were lightly hypnotized before the show began.
As he once said, his hypnosis does not cause the hypnotized person to act against his or her heart. However, it can help them better release their feelings.
Sure enough, after that, Jodie Foster and Charlize entered the play one after another, and the scenes of competing with each other made Charlotte as the director a surprise.
Especially Jodie Foster, the reason why Charlotte dressed her in a jacket made of painted leather is that she hopes to make the image of the serial killer establish more connection with the painted skin and the evil god behind it in the movie.
At the same time, it is also hoped that Judy can release the dark side of her heart through performance, so as to reduce her dependence on human skin books or evil gods.
- Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to modify the character of the serial killer?
- Isn't it just to get close to Jodie Foster herself on a reasonable basis, so that she can enter the play!
And judging from the relieved expression on the face of the queen who was engaged in the queen, this purpose seems to have been achieved.
It's just, I wonder if there will be additional gains?
Moreover, not only Judy, but even Charlize, who played against her, is now acting very easily because of today's extraordinary performance.
It's just that, for some reason, compared to the simple and relaxed face of the actress, Charlize's face is a little red and seems to be a little twisted.
"What's going on?"
Charlotte was a little confused.
In any case, the scene about the serial killer is considered to have been filmed.
Because considering that this part of the performance is actually not easy, Charlotte originally prepared for a day and a half to two days of filming.
- Although he considered using various ways to help Charlize and Jodie Foster into the play, he didn't expect that the two would be in the drama because of the mutual stimulation.
As a result, in half a day, this troublesome scene passed.
"Do you want everyone to relax a little bit later?"
The old gun asked at the timetable.
"There's no need for that!"
Charlotte scratched her head,
"I have already rested this morning, and if I have to rest tomorrow, the atmosphere of the crew will be too relaxed. ”
"That's right. ”
The old gun agreed, but his eyes glanced at Charlotte strangely—he could guess a little as to why he had suddenly had a half-day break this morning.
"Then let's speed things up! it's always good to have a faster pace. ”
"That's right. ”
Charlotte nodded unashamedly.
"Speaking of which, the role setting of the serial killer played by Jodie Foster this time is a little different from the average movie!"
The old gun talked about his feelings,
"In most movies, this kind of killer is tough and demonic, as if he is a demon from hell. And this time—"
"More like a human, right?"
Charlotte's next words behind the old gun,
"She's still a demon, but a demon in human skin! ”
"Is it logical?"
The old gun nodded,
Indeed, in past movies, the appearance of this kind of character is more like a natural disaster. And we give a basically self-consistent explanation. I just don't know if this explanation makes her more terrifying, or is it so terrifying?"
"It's hard to say!"
Charlotte smiled wryly and shook her head,
"The unknown represents fear, but in the same way, sometimes, the more you know, the more you are afraid—you see, both of these views are summed up by people, but they are diametrically opposed. ”
"In other words, you can only see the audience's reaction after the release?"
"yes!"
In fact, if it weren't for the ease of dealing with Painted Skin and the evil god behind it, Charlotte would not have designed the image of a serial killer in line with Jodie Foster herself.
- It's a supporting role, so why bother?
However, thinking about this harvest, Charlotte feels that the toss is still meaningful.
At the very least, John Hinckley's Rohm RG-14 pistol really completes the mark of the evil god.
The conditions for killing gods are gradually ripe.
