Chapter 254: Recommended
"Tony, have you chosen the actor to play the waitress in "Man in the Mirror"?" On this day, Hedy Lamarr asked Monet curiously.
"Not yet, why do you want to act?" Monet asked rhetorically.
Hedy Lamarr shook her head and replied, "No, I want to play your wife!" Then he said, "But I want to recommend a friend to play the role of hostess, is that okay?" ”
"Absolutely!" Monet replied without hesitation, because the role of the waitress did not require any acting skills, but he still asked: "But the requirement must be a beauty, otherwise this role will not be convincing!" ”
"Don't worry, Amy is a big beauty!" Hedy Lamarr replied confidently.
"That's good, but I'm a little curious, why do you want to play the role of a wife? I thought you'd like the hostess more after reading the script! Monet asked curiously.
"Because I want to be your wife, since I can't achieve it in reality, then I can only enjoy it in the movie!" As she spoke, Hedy Lamarr took the initiative to give her a hug.
Half an hour later, Hedy Lamarr knocked off Monet's evil hand and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, I'm going to call Amy and tell her to come over for the audition!" ”
"You hit yours!" Monet replied unmoved, but the big hand did not stop.
Hedy Lamarr had no choice but to control it as much as possible and called Amy at the same time: "Amy, I've already told Tony, you can come to Tony in two hours, maybe three hours later, come to Tony to audition!" ”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Amy teased, "Are you sure three hours is enough?" Or I'd better go tomorrow! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you just go straight to it!" Heidi Lamarr replied awkwardly.
Three hours later, Amy arrived at Monet's office on time, and Hedy Lamarr helped to introduce her: "Tony, this is Amy, Amy--Baines, how pretty, right?" ”
Monet nodded and replied, "Very beautiful, I believe that Miss Baines will play the role of the hostess Fabiana, it will be very convincing!" In fact, Monet is not talking nonsense, Amy is indeed very beautiful, although it is not the same style as Martina Garcia, but it is not far behind.
But Monet still reminded: "But this character will have some large-scale scenes, such as the plot that makes the heroine the most devastated, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Although Monet didn't say it directly, Amy still understood it, and nodded again and again: "I understand, don't worry, I'm mentally prepared, but if you shoot like this, can the review be passed?" ”
"I plan to blur this section after filming, so that the audience can understand what the conductor and the hostess are doing, but they can't see what they are doing, I think this should be able to pass the review, of course, this has to communicate with the review, but the premise of communication is that I must have such a finished film in my hands!" Monet explained.
"Oh, I see! By the way, Monsieur Monet, I found a place that is very similar to the scene in the script, would you be interested in going to see it? Amy asked.
Monet was also thinking about how to design and arrange the scene during this time, so when he heard that there was a similarity, he nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, is it convenient now?" ”
Originally, Monet thought that Hedy Lamarr would also follow, but she didn't get into the car: "I still have something to do, Amy, you take Tony!" ”
After arriving at the place, Monet found that it did not fully meet the requirements of the play, and the only highlight was that there was also a large dressing mirror facing the big bed.
At this time, Amy came over and said in a flattering voice: "Adrian, let's start the audition!" ”
"Which paragraph to try? Fabiana? Monet cooperated.
"It's the scene you just said on the biggest scale!" Amy replied in his ear.
Now that the atmosphere has been baked here, Monet feels that he has no reason to refuse, and the only regret is that the previous physical exertion was too great, so this time the performance was not very perfect......
Originally, Monet thought that this movie should be very easy to make, because the scenes required were very simple, there were few actors involved, and there were no big scenes, and except for Hedy Lamarr, there was no plot that needed to be used for acting skills.
But even so, after the whole filming, Monet was still tired enough, and he didn't even have the energy to play the script with the two leading actresses at night.
So when Amy gave him a massage that night, Monet complained: "I very much suspect that this guy Kim is taking the opportunity to take revenge on me!" ”
And Amy replied with a smile: "Tony, you have wronged Director Gutierrez, in fact, this is already the most gentle-tempered director I have ever met, and Tony, think about it, you are a shareholder of Warners, and Gutierrez is Warner's contracted director, how dare he retaliate and toss you?" ”
"Huh?! This is already the most moderate director? Monet asked in disbelief.
Amy nodded and replied: "Of course, take your favorite Hitchcock as an example, he often tortures actors, for example, in "The Thirty-Nine Steps" that you have watched many times, Hitchcock handcuffed the heroine Madeleine Carlo and the actor Robert Donat together, and ordered the two to rehearse the scenes of crossing the suspension bridge and fence, and did not even untie the handcuffs during the break, so that the two continued to be handcuffed together.
It wasn't until finally, when Madeleine was disheveled and exhausted, with bruises and scars on her wrists, that she was unraveled.
You feel the presence of handcuffs in the movie that haunts the whole film with a sense of dread, and in fact that's how the actors really feel!
And during the filming of "The Birds", the fake birds that were originally discussed turned out to be real birds, and when the unsuspecting heroine Tibby Haydry was brought into the set, a group of crazy birds attacked her, biting and pecking, and even pooping on her body, so the screams of fear and the scars presented in the film are real!
You say, compared to him, does director Gutierrez seem particularly gentle? ”
To be honest, although Monet had heard before crossing that Hitchcock seemed to be isolated because he was too fat in his childhood, so there was a shadow in this regard, and it was even said that he and his daughter-in-law slept in separate rooms all year round, so it seems not impossible that this situation would occur as Amy said.
PS: When I swept the list today, I saw a copy of "Demon Tokyo My Figure Becomes Weird", and suddenly thought of a book I wrote back then, "Marvel's My Figure Works", but unfortunately I seemed to be busy writing Fang Hongjian at the time, so I threw away the book, and now I think about it......
