Chapter 407: The Professionalism of an Actor
On the set of a new house set up in the studio, David Fincher called Martin and Cate Blanchett together to talk.
The next thing to be filmed is all the scenes where Benjamin and Daisy build a love nest and get along sweetly.
David Fincher didn't think about the mess and said: "I didn't make a specific plan for this part of the scene, the props and scenes are placed here, and it depends on your on-the-spot performance." ”
On the set, except for a mattress, it is a wood-colored wooden wall.
David Fincher voluntarily withdrew from the set.
Blanchett glanced at Martin, wondering how to speak.
In Martin's eyes, work is work, and with such a high salary, he must show a corresponding work attitude, and take the initiative to say: "What do you avoid in the action scene." ”
Blanchett is also an old actor, so he threw away the thoughts that he shouldn't have at this moment, and said: "Don't touch the key point below me, everything else is fine." ”
Martin sat down on the mattress and beckoned, "Let's discuss how to proceed?" ”
Blanchett sat down on the floor across from him and said, "Daisy and Benjamin are at their best age, and they have been separated for many years to come together, so they should be in a more drastic way." ”
Martin discussed very seriously: "Is it possible to do this, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, the rest of the time both of them spend the rest of the time on the mattress?" ”
Blanche nodded: "It's hard for two people to sleep together, and they want to sleep all the time." ”
Martin stood up and walked around the set of the new house while gesturing: "Even the process of renovating the house may evolve into a battlefield for two people." ”
Blanchett agreed: "I think so. ”
The two chatted for nearly half an hour, and in the middle they got up, aimed at each other, compared for a while, and even hugged each other.
"Let's get ready." Martin was the first to return to the resting place.
The stylist came over to touch up the makeup.
Blanchett sat in his lounge chair, glancing at Martin from time to time.
After Martin finished touching up his makeup, he took a breath freshener and sprayed it a few times.
Work is work, and he has always taken it seriously, even if Bell wanted to beat him up during filming, he never thought of retaliating back at work.
Blanchett recognized the freshener commonly used by insiders, and shook his head at the assistant, who did not touch the garlic and durian candy in the bag.
These are preparations just in case.
Blanchett took the same breath freshener and sprayed it a few times.
Martin Davis is professional, and she's no exception.
The two very professional actors did not ask the crew to clear the scene, but under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, they used the only mattress as the battlefield and fought directly close to each other.
At first, the movements were a little obscure, but as they became familiar with each other's bodies and sensitive points, the two became like real couples.
As soon as David Fincher called a stop, the two quickly separated, like strangers.
But when discussing work, there is no reservation, as if it is a close friend.
Most of the actors are emotionally outgoing, and it is not strange that handsome men and beautiful women stimulate each other during filming, and the male and female protagonists are really together.
On the edge of the set, Saoirse felt that she had gained a lot, and said to Elizabeth: "I think this is the professionalism of a top actor." ”
Elizabeth has two celebrity sisters who have been on the set since she was a child, and she is used to it: "Work is work." ”
Saoirse was not without regret: "It's a pity that I'm leaving." ”
Elizabeth said, "When you go to Los Angeles in the future, remember to call me." ”
During the crew's break, Saoirse said goodbye to Martin and followed her mother out of the studio.
Before leaving, Martin, a teacher, presented the students with a gift: a handmade clown statue and a crocodile tooth pendant.
Saoirse immediately put the pendant around her neck and said to Martin: "I have seen people show off on other sets, saying that you gave it to you, and now I have it too." ”
Elizabeth hasn't been to many sets, but she's seen both things quite a few times.
She had a completely different idea, and a thought automatically popped into her head: Martin is really popular in the circle and has a good popularity.
When Saoirse Ronan left, she muttered to herself that she didn't see Thea LaBeouf Blanchett.
Because the person who was able to control Shia LaBeouf came to the crew, in front of Katherine Kennedy, Shia LaBeouf restrained a lot.
In the days that followed, Martin devoted all of his energy to the role and the role.
The same goes for Blanchett.
On the set, the two had a scene during the renovation.
As before, the script only has scenes, no specific content, and David Fincher still gives the two of them free rein to play.
Blanchett looked at the wall of wooden props and pondered, "It's better to have something new." ”
Martin has a lot more creativity in this regard than her, just watched it for half a minute, and then he had an idea, which is related to the play between the two, and he said it alone: "In the process of applying latex paint, the two suddenly became interested, and left a mark of love on this wall that had just been splashed with latex paint?" ”
"Yes." Blanchett began to think: "Let these imprints be left and become the decoration of this wall." ”
The two called David Fincher, who in turn called the prop master, who suggested that synthetic milk could be used as a prop.
In the afternoon, the scene started filming, the decorator Benjamin and Daisy picked up the latex paint and kept splashing it on the wall, and with a lot of nonsense, the two people on it developed from kissing to wall knocking, leaving a mark of love again and again on the log wall full of white latex.
At the end of this scene, the two people wearing vital protective suits have to leave their respective body marks on the wall.
Martin clings to the white wall, leaving a silhouette of a human body.
Next to her, Blanchett's Daisy does the same thing.
The two men who had turned white took a big step back, and the silhouettes of the two human figures on the wall were particularly easy to distinguish.
Benjamin's has a hole the size of a child's fist near his waist.
Belonging to Daisy, it has two papaya-shaped sigils on her chest.
"Stop, very good!" David Fincher was particularly pleased with the scenes: "That's it for today! ”
Martin left the set directly, took the towel handed by Elizabeth, wiped the sticky milk off his face, and said, "I'll go take a shower first." ”
Elizabeth followed: "I'll help you." ”
Martin's back was also stained a lot, and he nodded: "Come on." ”
The two got into the trailer, and Elizabeth locked the door, closed every window, closed the curtains, took off her clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Martin turned on the shower: "You help me rub it off my back." ”
"Don't move, I'll come." Elizabeth posted up.
Martin felt two large pieces of particularly soft bath towels scrubbing every part of his back.
After a while, Elizabeth pulled Martin's body, and the two became face to face, and warned, "I'll help you scrub the shower, don't move." ”
Martin simply raised his hand and let Elizabeth's bath towel rub his body.
After a week of filming, Benjamin and Daisy's passion scenes are all over.
Elizabeth didn't have many scenes, and she only filmed for an afternoon.
…………
On the weekend, Martin drove Elizabeth into the French Quarter of New Orleans, holding hands along Decatur Street and onto Jackson Square.
Some tourists recognized Martin and grabbed their cameras to take pictures.
Martin didn't care about any of this, holding Elizabeth's hand tightly and admiring the old French architecture.
Elizabeth suddenly pulled Martin down and went into the shop next to her.
Coming out of the store, the two of them each had a couple hat on their heads.
Martin found it interesting and dragged Elizabeth along, "Come with me." ”
In front, there is a shop that sells freshly printed cultural shirts, and the business is average and no one cares.
As soon as the two entered, the boss recognized Martin at a glance, and these days the "Benjamin" crew was filming in New Orleans, and Martin, the actor, was not less in the local newspaper.
"Martin ......"
"Boss, let's talk about business first." Martin smiled: "I want a couple set." ”
Elizabeth came over and carefully looked at the blank cultural shirt: "Let's choose a white one, shall we?" ”
Martin nodded: "White and black, a classic that never goes out of style." ”
The boss hurriedly asked, "What pattern or text is printed?" ”
Elizabeth looked at the patterns and slogans on the shelves: "Uh-huh......"
Martin had already figured it out: "I have her head on it, and my head on hers, plus a line of words." ”
The boss is also inevitably gossiping: "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend? ”
Elizabeth was the first to reply, "Of course. ”
Not long after, the local entertainment reporter who got the news saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman wearing a couple hat walking out of a store hand in hand, wearing a brand new couple culture shirt, and the thread shirt was printed with each other's headshots, and the eye-catching bold text was written on it: "This is my boyfriend/girlfriend!" ”
Ignoring the reporters, the two walked straight across the square and entered the St. Louis Cathedral opposite, and found a bench to sit down on in the front row.
Elizabeth faced the cross directly in front of her, her hands folded reverently, her lips slightly twitching.
Martin couldn't hear what she was saying, he was muttering as much as he could.
After making a wish, the two entered the art gallery, and the mosaic images on it were a bit abstract, which could easily make LSPs think crookedly.
Martin saw Elizabeth's eyes drifting over from time to time, guessed her thoughts, and asked specifically, "What wish did you make just now?" ”
"Secret." Elizabeth smiled sweetly.
Martin understood, and continued to ask, "Is there a secret between the two of us?" ”
"Hmm...... yes. Elizabeth deliberately said in a joking tone: "I wish you would propose to me sooner." ”
Martin took it as a joke: "What are you kidding, Liz, you're not 20 yet." ”
The next trip of the two of them was all soaked in the hotel.
Before Christmas, Elizabeth returned to Los Angeles, while Martin went to Atlanta to spend the entire holiday with the Elena siblings before returning to the set to shoot.
After waiting for the New Year, his role was basically completed, and he also returned to Los Angeles.
There are also some scenes that have to be filmed in conjunction with post-production.
