Chapter 178: Swaying Restless Heart
After coming to Philadelphia with the crew of "12 Monkeys", Sophia White always felt that her employer was in a bad mood.
It wasn't the feeling of depression or anger caused by being targeted by the director, something that did happen when Charlize first joined the group, but it's been resolved now.
Solved by the man named Charlotte Booth.
Director Trey Gilliam seems to be very close to him, and even with him, he has become friendly with Charlize, who has a close relationship with him......
It wasn't bullying and harassment by other actors in the same group.
In fact, because of the reversal of Mr. Director's position, Charlize is now very hard in the crew, and even the biggest name Bruce Willis generally won't trouble her.
"It's like a few days a month......
Sophia secretly slandered her employer.
Of course, she knew, and it certainly wouldn't be because of this.
As a life assistant, Sophia has to pay attention to all aspects of Charlize, and if the other party's day comes and she doesn't know it at all, it will definitely be a dereliction of duty.
"Why on earth is that?"
Looking at Charlize from a distance, who was filming a scene in the airport, Sophia couldn't help but have a headache.
Charlize had no idea of his assistant's concerns.
It should be said that her role in the crew of "12 Monkeys" was filmed relatively smoothly.
In particular, director Tree Gilliam also gave her a lot of acting guidance after changing his attitude towards her, which benefited her a lot.
however
"Why do you feel irritated from time to time?"
With the sound of "cut", looking at the thumbs up of Mr. Director, Charlize knew that this one had passed again.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but the feeling of depression in her heart was even stronger.
"Maybe it's just a lack of adaptation!"
Charlize thought to himself.
Indeed, in the previous year, she had always filmed under Charlotte's direction.
As a director, Charlotte's style is completely different from that of Trey Gilliam
He rarely directly instructed the actors in their acting skills, and more often, he just sat silently behind the monitor, saying "over" and "again" depending on the shooting situation.
That look is more terrifying than some of the set tyrants who keep spraying people like hair dryers.
"Mr. Director's silence is as if Mount Vesuvius before the eruption, and people can't help but want to escape!"
Tobey Maguire, who played opposite her in "Happy Death Day", once complained to her in private.
Of course, at that time, poor Toby didn't know about her relationship with Charlotte yet.
And from the mouths of other old people in the crew, after knowing this, Toby's face turned green.
However, Charlize didn't tell Charlotte about Tobey Maguire's complaint because she felt that what the other party said was actually quite right.
"Vesuvius" is not without eruptions.
Charlize still remembers the scene when Charlotte was dissatisfied with a scene during the filming of "Fatal Bend", and scolded Erica, who was tired of Charlize, because she was not satisfied with a scene.
Especially, this guy didn't spit out a single dirty word.
In fact, it was Charlize himself who was also scolded by Charlotte more than once during filming.
Thinking of the violent verbal violence like a storm, the girl also shivered a little.
She is stubborn, she will not cry because of Charlotte's mean words, she will try her best to do her best, but that does not mean that she will not be depressed and angry because of this.
I still remember that once she was scolded too hard by Charlotte, and she ignored the other party for two whole days.
Charlotte didn't apologize to her either.
However, when filming that scene again, Charlize noticed that some of the set-up had changed.
This small adjustment made her performance smooth all of a sudden.
That scene passed smoothly after that.
Since then, Charlotte has reduced the number of times she sprays people on set.
When the shooting is not going well, he often makes some minor adjustments to the scene, lighting, camera angle, etc., and then asks the actors to try in a different way.
Sometimes, he even plays a piece of music to guide the shooting.
Not to mention, this indirect guidance method is really effective.
At least, Charlize himself prefers this kind of guidance rather than direct acting guidance.
It's not that direct guidance is bad, it's just that
"Talking and doing are two different things!"
Charlize felt that he might have been too accustomed to Charlotte's way of boiling frogs in warm water, so he was a little uncomfortable with Trey Gilliam's direct guidance.
"However, it doesn't seem right!"
After all, by the time of "Happy Death", perhaps because of the experience and lessons learned from "Fatal Bend", Charlotte's directing style changed again
As Tobey Maguire described, his majesty on the set is getting heavier and heavier, and he often doesn't need to be angry to scare the actor who makes a mistake into trembling.
Sometimes, Charlize even wondered if he had used some spell to pour his anger and dissatisfaction directly into the air around him, causing the entire set to have a constant low air pressure.
Moreover, he seems to have a special ability to force people into the play
If the character in the script is a bathtub filled with ice water, then the actor enters the play by enduring the cold and immersing himself in the bathtub.
Most directors directly or indirectly guide the actors through this immersion process on their own, and Charlotte did the same before.
But in "Happy Death Day", he seemed to have an invisible hand that could force the actors and press them headlong into the cold water in that bathtub.
The most typical example of this is Lori's actor Helena Minster.
Charlize remembered the murderous look in the girl's eyes when she looked at her.
"Fortunately, it seems that his trick can only be used for some relatively simple characters!"
If Charlotte can also force actors into the play for roles with complex hearts, then he will definitely surpass Woody Allen and become the favorite of all actors who want to hit the Oscars.
It's just that, correspondingly, after filming, if you are too deep in the play, there will definitely be more maniacs who can't get out......
Sally, is it really good that you are so reluctant to face your heart?
Heart!?
Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted
Alexis, is that you?
No, I'm your heart, we haven't talked in a long time.
Miss Ghost attached to Charlize has a great sense of humor, but in this regard, Charlize feels that he is not far behind.
I'm really shy! It's just because I felt empathy last time, and I've been shy until now!
Sally, do you want me to rob your boyfriend?
Charlotte isn't my boyfriend yet!
That's the problem!
Charlize almost heard a sigh from deep within himself.
Because you are afraid, you are always reluctant to go further with Charlotte. However, you are afraid of losing him after such a step, right?
I......
Charlize was completely silent, but Alexis did not stop,
Sally, you're not really a fiery girl. But when you get along with Charlotte, you sometimes have an unusually hot outburst, which is actually a natural reaction to your inner fear of losing!
"Afraid of losing?"
Charlize smiled bitterly,
"Probably! Compared to me, who was afraid of family and marriage, Charlotte was actually the more uncertain one, he was like Schrödinger's cat!"
