Chapter 119
Today's filming location is a luxury apartment on Fifth Avenue and 94th Street in Manhattan, New York, and it is mainly about Josie and Al Pacino's rival scene.
Josie came over early in the morning for makeup and styling, and went to the backcourt 10 minutes early, while Al Pacino came a little later.
Al Pacino is 57 years old this year. He became famous in one fell swoop as the second-generation godfather Mike Corleone in "The Godfather". One of the top actors in the world.
His stature is not tall, but he looks imposing, with a mature but childlike face, just sitting quietly in his own filming chair, he has become the focus of the room.
"Hi, Mr. Pacino, I'm Josie Horton who plays Mary." Josie took the initiative to greet her.
She wore a very elegant little black dress today, wearing a pearl necklace and pearl earrings that fit the style, and her soft and shiny golden long hair was permed into unfashionable wool curls, like Nicole Kidman from Australia a few years ago New to Hollywood styling.
Al Pacino, who was having his hair styled by the hair stylist, saw Josie in the mirror, raised his hand to signal the hair stylist to suspend work, handed the mirror to his assistant, and then extended his hand to Josie.
"A lovely lady like you, please be sure to call me by my name." He said in a hoarse and low voice, "Nice to meet you, Josie, and wish us a happy cooperation."
His dark eyes, bright and intent, looked lively, with lashes and corners drawn down to lend a certain sincerity.
"Well, Al, I'm looking forward to it." Josie couldn't help smiling, and asked again: "So, can we take a photo together? I like your movies very much, and I'm your fan."
Al Pacino gave Josie a fixed look first, then suddenly smiled slyly and said, "I guess, you must have said the same thing to many people."
"I have a list of actors I want to work with." Josie said without changing her expression.
"That's so sad—so, I'm not the first?" Al Pacino said with a smile on his face.
"Ahhh, the rankings are in no particular order here." Josie asked Kelly to bring her notepad and showed it to Al Pacino.
This is a full-page list, in which the names of Kathy Bates, Richard Dreyfuss, Francis McDormand, Tim Ross and others have been crossed out, and the rest There are also many Hollywood famous or not famous actors, such as Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, John Lone, Monica Bellucci and so on.
Al Pacino took a symbolic look and returned the notepad to Josie.
"Okay, you passed." He shrugged. "Now, let your assistant get a Polaroid!"
Al Pacino plays the incarnation of the devil, John Milton, the father of the protagonist Kevin. He is the boss of a large law firm in New York. look good.
Milton throws a big party for Kevin to join.
As Kevin's wife, Mary dressed up to attend the event. Despite her beautiful appearance, she was still a bit out of tune with the modern and luxurious Upper East Side of New York.
Sitting on the sofa in a corner of Milton's mansion, she expressed her heartfelt thanks to the man in front of her who had brought major changes to their family: "Thank you for promoting Kevin, Mr. Milton."
Milton smiled faintly, "If he can buy a few more suits and try to learn a few more tricks, he will be more successful."
He paused for a while, looked at the slightly embarrassed Mary with slightly smiling eyes, and asked gently, "What about you, how are you doing, do you miss home?"
Mary was a little surprised, but more of enjoying the feeling of being cared for, she smiled at Milton, shook her head and said nothing.
"No?" Milton still asked.
Mary had no choice but to laugh at herself and said, "I told Kevin that my dad being his father-in-law is more tragic than the fact that he doesn't have a dad."
"I feel the same way," Milton said, following Mary's gaze. "Really, trust me."
Playing with Al Pacino was a real pleasure.
He will not deliberately fail to recite his lines, nor will he overemphasize himself. His voice is always deep and pleasant, and his temperament is always precise.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages.
As the actor playing against him, Josie just finished filming this scene, and felt that her performance was completely controlled by Al Pacino in front of her——
Even in this shot, Al Pacino doesn't push much.
But director Taylor Hackford didn't call NG, but gave it directly, which shows that this shot just fits the relationship between Milton and Mary in the script.
Josie felt a sense of crisis.
But at the same time, this is also a new challenge that she has been looking forward to for a long time.
After 15 minutes, filming resumed.
Milton's voice has a unique rhythm, soothing and magnetic.
"Forgive me for being nosy—" he smiled, "but can I give you some advice?"
Mary lowered her eyes and took the champagne to her lips, and took a shallow sip.
She switched to holding the cup with her left hand, then raised her beautiful blue eyes, looked at Milton, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Milton continued: "I'm afraid you won't be happy if I say it. Can you tell me about your hairstyle?"
"Please tell me, I'd like to hear more about it." Mary said calmly, "You don't like my hairstyle?"
"No, it looks good, it's pretty," Milton said, pausing slightly. "It's just—it doesn't suit you. Curly hair doesn't suit you, not at all."
"You should roll back."
Mary just smiled and said nothing, obviously not agreeing with this proposal.
Milton still did not give up, but begged in a childish tone: "Come on, try it!"
This man's powerful aura and pure eyes make this line full of temptation to soften women,
Mary couldn't help but be moved by Milton. Facing a mirrored partition in the living room of Milton's apartment, Mary slowly rolled up her long hair.
Her delicate and beautiful face lost the cover of her blond hair and was completely clearly displayed in the mirror. The graceful swan neck was as long and slender as if she had been influenced by ballet since she was a child.
"Look, I'm right." Milton took a closer look from behind Mary, with a confused look on his face. "My vision was right. You should cut your hair short. Really."
The camera here gives a close-up of Mary from the bottom up, with Milton following behind her.
"A woman's shoulder is the source of all mystery."
"And the woman's neck, vivid and fragrant, is like the dreamy beauty of a small town on the border, attracting countless heroes to compete for the throne, endless wars, and the entanglement of reason and sex."
"do you know?--"
"Your natural hair color sets off your eyes even better."
He also pointedly held Mary's exquisitely shaped chin, as if he was holding a priceless artwork, his lips were close to her ear, his voice was like the whisper of the devil, full of extremely astonishing allure.
Under the influence of the light above her head, Mary's eyes were like two deep blue gemstones, the eyes were faint, making people want to indulge.
And when Milton's voice fell, she raised her chin slightly, and her pupils became less dark and bright again.
She smiled and said, "Oh, I'll think about it."
It's such a sweet smile.
The girl from a small town in the south is slender and gentle, with a quiet and fragile beauty, like a delicate daisy caressed by the sun and dew. It should not be too aggressive or ambitious, and it is suitable for growing freely in the fields.
But once a daisy is picked and put into a vase that stores water, its flowering period will gradually shorten, and it is not known whether it will dry up first, or fall down and be trampled on.
Milton smiled back, his eyes stained with deep color.
Mary did not notice this change, and was still immersed in the beautiful atmosphere.
The whole scene was filmed on and off for three days.
Playing with Al Pacino feels a little different than Daniel Day-Lewis.
Al Pacino's voice and eyes are so charming, as long as he stands in front of the camera, whatever he does is like a fascinating story.
As for Daniel Day-Lewis, his interpretation of the characters is amazing. He seems to have no real personality of his own, only character personality, and it only exists on the unrealistic screen.
It is easy for the audience to be impressed by the powerful aura that belongs to Al Pacino, but for Daniel Day-Lewis, they often only remember a certain image he created in the movie.
Obviously, Josie's traits are biased towards the former one.
Early this morning, Kelly put the April issue of "Vanity Fair" in front of Josie.
This time, the cover of "Vanity Fair" is Josie and Cameron Diaz, Claire Dennis, and Cameron Diaz is standing on Josie's right hand, but they are not really peers, she is Born in 1972, she used to be a very successful advertising model. She entered the industry two years earlier than Josie and Claire Dennis.
It is said that Cameron Diaz, who switched careers to Hollywood at the time, got the lead actress in "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey after thirteen auditions, and has been an instant hit ever since.
And Claire Dennis's star path was even smoother.
Her first work in the industry was the TV series "My So-Called Life", which deeply explored the problems of teenagers. At the same time, she became the third daughter Beth in "Little Women". The partner "Romeo and Juliet" has become the most popular youth idol star.
And her next movie is "The Rainmaker" directed by Coppola.
It can be said that Claire Daniel is the most popular actress in Hollywood at the moment. Even Josie, who became famous earlier than her and is more popular, is somewhat envious of her resources and treatment.
What's more, both of them took the route of youth idols and acting school, both of them were blond and blue-eyed and sweet, and they also came from the Upper East Side of New York.
Inevitably, they were compared by many.
For example, the notorious tabloid "National Enquirer" published an article, which said that Claire Dennis was very popular but rejected "Titanic", just to enter Yale University to concentrate on her studies. She is really smart and stylish blah blah blah.
——The accompanying picture is a still photo of Josie during the filming of "Titanic".
"It's really beautiful." Josie's hair stylist Chris Hunter commented, "It's prettier than all of them."
"They are all beauties with their own merits, and I don't need to compete on this point." Josie flipped through the refurbished issue of "Vanity Fair". This industry magazine's reports are not limited to Hollywood stars. High-flyers and fashion-forwards will also appear.
For example, this issue introduces the "Miss Universe" beauty pageant organized by a New York real estate tycoon, as well as his underage daughter who entered the modeling field.
In addition, the first EP of the same name by super rookie Josh Jones caused heated discussions. Among them, the title song "Never" in the style of rap rock earned a lot of tears on Valentine's Day, and recently released a remix version.
In addition, in this issue of "Vanity Fair"'s interview with Josie, she mentioned the movie "Mr. Sweetheart" that she successfully broke through [-] million. "You" is on the rise again at the box office.
As of the Easter holiday at the end of last month, the cumulative North American box office of "Mr. Sweetheart" has exceeded 1.5 million US dollars, and there is still room to spare, and it has not been completely withdrawn from the theater.
The film's long run has been amazing.
It is conceivable that it is bound to occupy a place on this year's North American box office rankings, and it will definitely be included in the inventory of Hollywood classic romantic comedies in the future-although the number of film critics reiterated that it should be a movie. Sports inspirational film.
In order to get the next movie starring Josie, Columbia offered Martha Miller a salary offer of 650 million US dollars in a whim, even though the industry is generally not optimistic about her other movie "Titanic" this year.
But Josie is not going to continue to take on new movies before "Titanic" officially triggers a frenzy, because doing so is obviously difficult for money.
