Chapter 467: Bring Out Your Personality
The TLB crew will be closed on Sunday 25th and will take a 7pm flight to Toronto and resume work tomorrow.
The rest are all green screen scenes, and only Liz and Kelsie are among the actors, and the rest of the main actors have said goodbye to the crew in the past few days. Two weeks is not much, and under this precise and time-out rapid shooting, Keanu, Vichy, Sarandon, Tucci and others are not satisfied.
"Boy, when are you going to remake Harlow & Mulder? "Sarandon is a joke, but if it's true. Ye Wei replied to her: "You are not old enough to play Mude." This made Sarandon laugh sweetly.
Weizi is going to play Wong Kar-wai's "Blueberry Night", and Ye Wei laughed with her when saying goodbye: "Wong Kar-wai asked me, 'If I have an extra ticket, will you go with me?' should also tell him my answer'No, you are going to sit on the Titanic.'" Vichy smiled and agreed.
"Wait for Mr. Harvey to be scolded and praised, you damn it. Ye Wei said to Tuqi. Tucci let out a string of eerie laughs in his distinctive voice.
"Keanu, I'm sorry!" Ye Wei solemnly apologized to Keanu, "In directing your play, my behavior is very immoral and lacks humanity. Like my grandmother said, I knew it was wrong, but I loved seeing your wonderful performance. You tell me?"
"I'm just afraid I'm not good enough. Keanu said. The two of them have something to say, and they know everything in order to make this story a little better and better on the screen. Ye Wei nodded and said, "Awesome, for your dedication, I will also try my best to make this movie the best." ”
The girls' goodbyes are full of reluctance.
Margot is going back to Australia, and the past few weeks have been fantastic for her, and her dreams have come true. LAST NIGHT, SHE WANTED TO COME TO TAKE-TWO WITH YE WEI, BUT SHE DIDN'T GET HER WISH.
Ye Wei was satisfied with her performance, "Clarissa" had little room to play, like the scene where Jack went to the cornfield to chase the murderer at night, he mistook Clarissa and Brian who were fooling around in the field for the murderer, and was seriously injured by Brian with his baseball bat. Margot was screaming in panic next to her, but she played it very carefully.
To say that Margot and Amber are similar in appearance, but their acting talent is not at the same level, Margot knows what acting is. Life makes people, poor family but receiving elite education, this 16-year-old girl has a very high and delicate perception. With such a long-term development, she is definitely not just Clarissa.
"Go back and keep trying, it's never wrong to work hard. Ye Wei has great expectations for her.
"VIY, I still don't want your funding. Margot was a little disappointed, and thought she could be his gossip girlfriend, or secret lover.
Ye Wei encouraged her: "Do you think I have no gains? I can help you, I am happy, when you become an excellent actor and a star, I will have a great sense of achievement, this is what I get." If you are a big man in the future, and I am so declining that no one will pay attention to it, you can still pull me along, this is also an investment! So you work hard, go to school, fall in love, and live. Maggie, seriously, I feel guilty about you, so don't let it be bigger. ”
Although Margot did not understand his mind, she was moved by the words and continued to accept his funding, and she would pay it back when she had the money after the account was written.
"Can you give me a kiss?" she asked expectantly.
"No, I can't. Ye Wei smiled, "We are friends." ”
Mody was going back to Los Angeles, and her reluctance was almost all expressed with her look, and she didn't say anything.
Speaking of Mo Di's performance, Ye Wei was full of gratification, a kind of brother's emotion.
As soon as this farm girl performed, she changed as a person, as if she was born to say substitution and withdrawal, and it didn't take a few seconds before and after. This kind of ability should be what she revealed that she has practiced in performing in life for many years, and it has become her nature.
Da Linqian is a character who is very suitable for her true colors, quiet, introverted, and smart. She acted fantastic.
But what he admires most is not her talent, but her diligence and studiousness, she has done more homework on "Linxi" than Liz has done for "Susie", she has fulfilled his requirements in exceedance, and knows Linxi's past, present and future by heart, which is comparable to a TLB.
She also kept in mind the shortcomings of her low level of education, and she has been taking acting classes for half a year, and is also studying for high school through online courses, and wants to go to college in the future. Don't want to be like Amy went to Columbia, Portman went to Harvard, and Vichy went to Cambridge, but you want to have more culture, and you can go to community college.
Ye Wei supports this 100%, don't worry about tuition, only brother gives!
But Mody's other dream, which he can't help, is to find her mother.
In a chat, she timidly said that her mother was gone just like Susie's mother, but the reason was that her father was not a good person and had not been heard from all these years. He can't help her, if her mother is still alive, watching the Golden Globe Awards, and paying attention to movie entertainment news, she will know Modi's current situation, and if she doesn't show up to recognize her, it's mostly because of shame.
This time, there are still many deceived girls who have been given the opportunity to play classmates, and Ye Wei keeps his promise to let those girls who behave strangely show their faces more. Although it was all a group performance, it was also an ice-breaking performance experience. Their careers are developing steadily, and several of them have signed good agents and played supporting roles in different independent films, TV movies through auditions.
"Little Lincy" Saoirse Ronan left the crew one step earlier.
Because she is only 12 years old, the crew takes care of her work welfare, not only SAG who is staring at her, but also the child welfare agency and her mother who follows her all the way. Fortunately, there is no need to hire teachers during the summer vacation, she is a supporting role, and her personal work hours will not be overtime at the end of the day.
Ye Wei likes Saoirse, the little guy, he will choose Anna Sophia to act in commercial films, and Saoirse to act in literary films. Her talent is too high, her appearance and temperament can be changeable, and her acting skills are even more mature than her age.
If he wants to make a movie for a lifetime, his directorial career has just begun, and his cooperation with these girls has just begun. Now I don't know what to do except Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander of "Winter's Bones", and Saoirse is the one he most wants to have a next collaboration.
When he said goodbye, he said, "See you next time." ”
"See you next time. Saoirse's blue eyes were happy and wistful.
Yes. When leaving Philadelphia, Ye Wei was the most dissatisfied with the future girls, but Lychee, Lizzy, Liz, Elizabeth Olsen.
It's not that she's bad, it's that he feels like she could be better!
How can I make her better? First of all, what is her problem?
During the long preparation period, Liz was not hard enough, she was well prepared for "Susie", nor was she lacking idealism, imagination and reflexes, and she had no problem with these.
He has gradually realized these days that her biggest problem may be that she believes too much: "The stage is for actors, TV is for screenwriters, and movies are for directors." ”
Once they delved into it, she tried to understand him instead of developing herself. So he rarely sees her ideas, and she is not as expressive as she is on the stage of the draft or even when she is rehearsing.
She always has to rehearse, and she rehearses when she finds time. When he asked, she said, "I'm scared of improvisation. ”
This guy is not afraid of improvisation, she is afraid of not realizing the director's ideas.
A few weeks ago, Ye Wei really didn't think that Liz would have this problem, because she was so confident, dedicated, and stubborn in the draft and audition, which is the attitude that a good actor should have, but she disappeared on the set, which is better than the director's follow-up.
But it's not that she's not confident, she sees it too thoroughly.
Although it is a fact, it is not the whole truth, a great actor is not only about fulfilling the director's intention, but also about giving the character a soul. Characters with souls will not be willing to be absolutely manipulated by the director and the script, so there will be creative differences and on-the-spot play.
What Ye Wei wants is an actor who will refute him and question him, and even after he says "you can act as you want", he will still say "I don't agree with you", and he has to shoot one more with his own plan, even if it ends up being garbage on the floor of the editing room. But maybe not? The director's mind will change.
Liz doesn't have that mindset. There were none of the eight girls, none of Emma, none of Schelleen, none of Saoirse, none of Mody......
- For Emma, Ye Wei has other guilt, when filming "Soul Surfer", he was indeed more indulgent to her. It's a fool's errand, he should have let Liz go and she was holding him to death, he shouldn't have let Emma go and let her play freely.
Both can be better, as long as they find the right way for them.
Now in his heart, regardless of the role, the girls' performance rankings are: Saoirse, Mody, Liz, Margotte, Emma, Shailene, Dakota, Kelsie.
He hopes that when TLB is finished, Liz will be at the top of the line.
The green screen scene in the last week will only be more difficult to act, it is really almost completely realized by the director's imagination, there are no scenes, no opponents, at most there is a Kelsey, with the camera picture that the director says, acting against the air. With Liz's temperament, her performance will be further limited.
But on the other hand, Paradise will show more sides of Susie, a variety of different emotions, a complex whole, which will also be more demanding of Liz.
Ye Wei was going to talk to Liz on the plane to Toronto, maybe it was a little late, and there was no way to figure it out.
......
On Sunday afternoon, Ye Wei drove around Philadelphia alone and bought some interesting gifts for Lily.
When the time was about to begin, before heading to the airport to assemble, he went to "Pats-King-of-Steak" at the corner of South 9th Street, Wharton Street and East Perry-West York Avenue, Philadelphia's most famous cheesesteak sandwich joint, ready to eat again and go.
When he arrived in Philadelphia last month, he had been with Mr. and Mrs. Alice Sieberd once, and then again with Master Gia and many others.
Although the store has been open for 76 years, it is open 24 hours a day and is still a small fast-food restaurant on the side of the road, with frames of celebrity photos hanging above the surrounding walls, and diners scattered outdoors around the red iron tables and chairs, eating delicious but unhealthy fast food.
Ye Wei parked the car on the side of the road and was about to go to the pick-up window, but saw something.
I saw a blonde girl sitting at a table in front of her, feasting on a cheesesteak sandwich with two, some fries, and a glass of Coke on the table. Her expression was leisurely, or rather intoxicated, and when she finished eating that one, she sucked her thumb and picked up another one.
God! Ye Wei is both helpless and angry, does she want to be as fat as a barrel tomorrow!?
He walked over and sat down across from her table without saying anything.
Liz looked at him in a daze, and when she saw him, she not only didn't stop biting the sandwich, but also hurriedly took a big bite, as if she didn't have anything to eat.
"What are you doing?" Ye Wei asked.
"What you're here for is what I'm doing. Liz muffled her words, her cheeks bulging, chewing again and again, and quietly pulling the sandwich on the table to her side in her hand, looking at him with a pretended gentle look.
Ye Wei's big hand reached out and snatched the sandwich, Liz hurriedly stopped: "That's mine!" Ye Wei had already taken a bite, holding the sandwich as if to hand it back to her: "Huh?" Liz was suddenly very depressed: "You are so rude." ”
He looked at her and asked in a curious tone, "You don't care that you're fat?" Liz also asked him in a strange tone: "Why do I care?" Ye Wei was even more strange: "Because...... The girls always cared. I'm not weight dissipated, I love Melissa McCarthy, I'm just weird. ”
Liz swallowed a large gulp of sandwich, took a sip of Coke, and said slowly, "Girls always care about weight because the world's aesthetic is thin and beautiful, fat is ugly." If they are not fat, they can get happiness from beauty. He nodded as she continued, "But they always forget that humans can still get happiness from food, and I. ”
She started eating again: "I care more about the happiness I get from food, so it's not that I don't care, it's just that sometimes I ......"
Seeing her speechless, Ye Wei said: "Beauty, what I want, food, also what I want, you can't have both, those who give up beauty and take food." ”
"Yes! That's it. Liz smiled as if she had met a confidant, and looked at the pick-up window over there, "I'll buy another one now." I'm going to eat three at a time, and the doctor said my stomach is very big, okay?"
"No, I can't. Ye Wei shook his head, "When the TLB is finished, I won't care about you if you eat ten at a time, not now." ”
Liz pouted reluctantly, chewing slowly, "I'm going to be hungry, we'll have to sit on the plane for that long later." ”
"An hour and a half. ”
"But the in-flight meal was hard to eat. ”
"Then you don't want to eat it. ”
"Oh!" Liz let out a wail, suddenly her eyes lit up, and asked, "Do you know how to cook Chinese food?" Seeing him nod, she was even more excited and expectant: "Maybe the people who get the most happiness from food in the world are Chinese, maybe Italians." Ye Wei said with certainty: "Absolutely Chinese, don't believe in asking Jiya." ”
"I've heard that Chinese food in the West isn't authentic, so I thought, can you let me taste some authentic?" Liz snapped.
When Ye Wei heard what he thought of, he couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was so loud that the surrounding diners looked at him.
Liz looked at him a little confused, "What? I didn't mean to offend ......" Ye Wei smiled: "No, what you heard is right." I know how to cook some authentic Chinese food, but my cooking skills are average, and if I want to eat the most authentic food, of course, I have to go to China. ”
"I haven't been back to Asia for a few years, and what I miss the most is the food, and I'm going to travel back in August, and my family is playing in China right now." You know no, although your father is a banker, you will not be arrested when you go to China, unless you go bankrupt, tell your sisters. ”
"I'm tired of you talking about my sisters. Liz grimaced, "I'm different from them! I'm even an atheist, yes! I'm not religious, just like you." ”
"No, I'm a pantheist. Ye Wei looked at her angry face, smiled and asked, "Lychee, why didn't you treat me like this on the set?" Liz was puzzled, Ye Wei said again: "I mean a tough attitude, on the set, you respect me too much, I guide you and encourage you, but you never go deep enough." ”
"You're the director. Liz didn't quite understand. Ye Wei guided her: "What are you thinking?" Liz said, "You're a director, or you're a genius 800 times smarter than me! I don't even know what a movie is compared to you, I just ......" she thought for a moment, "I'm a piece of a puzzle." ”
Ye Wei was silent for a while, this girl is not not arrogant, her arrogance lies in the fact that she thinks she sees the essence - the film actor is the director's puppet.
"It's true that you are a puzzle, but you should make a self-aware puzzle, and only by learning to oppose me can you unleash your full potential. He persuaded.
Liz frowned thoughtfully: "I'm still learning how to understand you." To be honest, I'm a smart person, and when others think a lot, I don't think it's clear. Just in front of you, what can I do?" she shrugged, "You're so damn smart and talented, you probably hear that every day, it's true." I'm one of your students. ”
"Hey. Ye Wei was very helpless, this is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, but he won't take him too seriously if he is arrogant, and said seriously: "Don't think like that! I don't remember the first time I said this to you, you will play yours, be wilder! Be more selfless! You can be better! Elizabeth Chase Olsen, show your personality!"
But the more Liz thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, "'Susie' is not Spider-Man's girlfriend or anything, she is the heroine of an independent movie, and your movie ......"
"Yes, it's my movie, but Susie is your Susie. Ye Wei carefully guided her to turn her mind: "It's like I'm the federal government, you are the state government, and you have the right to make your laws." Maybe you disagree with me 10 times, 9 times I'll say, 'Your idea sucks,' 'You're an idiot,' but 1 time!
"I'll try to ......," Liz muttered, the idea not so easy to reverse, "it's too hard." ”
"It's hard to do, the more you succeed against the director, the better you act. ”
"Against for the sake of opposition?"
"No, activate yourself, we can't have a single idea for everything. See how Susan Sarandon acts, see her spirit?"
"But ......"
"No but!" Ye Wei smiled at Liz, "Our goal is to get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress." Liz smiled as well.
"Movies are directed by the actors, but the actors are not the directors. Ye Wei stood up and walked towards the order window, "Not all." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to eat three at a time. Don't even think about it! I'm a boy, 20cm taller than you, and three of you are already very modest. ”
"It's really unfair!! is not arrogant, her arrogance lies in the fact that she thinks she sees the essence - the film actor is the director's puppet.
"It's true that you are a puzzle, but you should make a self-aware puzzle, and only by learning to oppose me can you unleash your full potential. He persuaded.
Liz frowned thoughtfully: "I'm still learning how to understand you." To be honest, I'm a smart person, and when others think a lot, I don't think it's clear.

"Hey. Ye Wei was very helpless, this is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, but he won't take him too seriously if he is arrogant, and said seriously: "Don't think like that!

"It's really unfair!!"
