Chapter 140
Ernest didn't guide Josie, but let her perform one by herself first.
After getting stuck on this, he beckoned Josie to come over and let her observe the playback on the monitor by herself.
In the shot just now, Ernest gave a medium shot, Russell's back occupies almost two-thirds of the frame, and the lower half of Josie's face is covered by his shoulder line, revealing only a pair of arrows Chrysanthemum eyes, white forehead and black hair.
"What did you just take the camera for?" Ernest asked.
"Sean." Josie frowned, because she saw that her eyes were photographed very beautifully, but only beautifully.
"Okay, I want you to relax a bit more, would you like to try and forget Sean?" Ernest pulled out his storyboard and sketchbook, "Sean is not important. Iris never thinks he is special—specifically, she doesn't think anyone is special."
He flipped through a sketch about Iris' eye scene and continued: "Her eyes are arrogant, and even more unstoppable. Your eyes should tell the audience that the reason why Sean is willing to be manipulated by you is a matter of course." Of course, we all know that your eyes are beautiful, but I don’t pursue the ultimate beauty, your emotion is the most powerful weapon.”
"Disgust? Ridicule?" Josie was a little unsure, "Or, casual mockery?"
"The answer to the question is what would you think if someone did the same for you," Ernest asked instead.
Josie pinched her chin and thought for a while, before she quickly came to a conclusion, "I think he's ridiculous, even a little annoying."
"That's a distressing but very real adjective." Ernest commented in his flat tone without emotional bias, and he nodded slightly, "I think your idea is correct, but it belongs to Ai. There could be more to Reese: she has sharp ambitions and loose sex. Sean is an insignificant little character, but Iris tastes the beauty of the confidence and accomplishment of having a lover in her hands. taste."
"The dark beauty that belongs to the femme fatale represents danger and destruction, but it makes people willingly fly to the flame." Josie said naturally, turning her head to look at Ernest, "But Iris also has a pure and beautiful look. Her appearance, these two contradictory aesthetics make her fascinate all beings."
"Okay. Let's just go in this direction, don't be so dramatic." Ernest asked, "Why don't we try it right away?"
"Okay." Josie didn't refuse the proposal.
She slowly immersed herself in Iris's inner world, trying to resonate with her emotions as much as possible.
When Heath was called over, he saw Josie raised her eyes slightly, staring at herself with a gaze that she only had when she was filming - cold, but with a throbbing arrogance.
His heart was pounding involuntarily.
Before meeting her in person, the public Josie Horton was a breezy, approachable blonde sweetheart with a refreshing candor and willfulness.
But the public image is only the public image, 99% of the artistry and 1% of the truth constitute a product carefully designed by Hollywood's professional public relations team: Josie Horton.
In fact, this is a rational and uncontrollable woman. She may have a lot of romantic feelings, but she definitely lacks certain perceptual cognition.
She is very clear about what she wants, and she dares to face any challenges. Beneath her sweet and harmless appearance is a very contrasting alpha personality.
"Miss Horton?" Heath said.
"You forgot to call me by my name again, Heath." Josie smiled at him, and the atmosphere that belonged to Iris just now collapsed in an instant, "It's the last scene, take it easy."
"Oh, I will... well, I mean, I feel like I'm in good shape right now," Heath replied.
His nervousness did not come from the shooting itself, but from facing his heroine—whether it was Josie or Iris, it was the same for him.
In Heath's view, Josie has some qualities that really resemble the heroine of the movie, Iris.
From the perspective of God, the femme fatale Iris is of course dangerous and chilling, but jumping out and looking, isn't such a woman attractive?
Power and beauty do not conflict, and are even the source of beauty.
Iris was not moved by Sean's sacrificial confession, he seemed to be someone who had nothing to do with her, and she didn't even have any sympathy or concern for him.
But she did get the so-called sense of accomplishment from him.
He dedicated everything to Iris, letting the other party control his own destiny and manipulate his emotions, as if he possessed the supreme power of a god.
It was such a fascinating feeling.
Therefore, Iris is not quite sure, whether to really send Sean to prison—or, to temporarily change to another rotten prey to die?
...
Early the next morning, a bouquet of delicate roses was delivered to the door of Josie's trailer. Kelly took the bouquet with a delicate expression, checked it before taking it into the trailer.
"Russell's assistant sent it over, do you want to find a vase to put it in?" Kelly asked.
These airfreighted deep purple roses looked special, and women in general have something special about roses, so Kelly wasn't sure what to do with them.
However, Josie, who was putting on makeup, just glanced in the makeup mirror and replied, "No, you don't need it. If you like it, you can share it among yourself. If you don't like it, you can take it to the big dressing room."
Obviously, she doesn't have any idea of further development with the other party, because the dressing room is always the place where gossip spreads the fastest in the crew.
Since Russell blatantly asked the assistant to send flowers, don't blame her for letting the entire crew know that she directly rejected the bouquet of flowers. The reason why roses are roses is because of the romantic relationship it represents.
Moreover, there are so many fresh and beautiful bodies in Hollywood, why is she so obsessed with looking for someone in the garbage dump?
"I thought you appointed me to be the leading actor in this movie." Before the official shooting started that morning, Russell asked quietly, "Isn't it, Josie?"
Josie's position was only one step away from Russell's. She was still wearing the long black dress. The makeup on her face was not heavy, except for a bright red lip, which was a gentle matte coral red.
She pursed her lips slightly, and asked back in a low voice, "Russell, why are you so confident?"
Russell laughed dumbfounded, but didn't answer aloud.
And his expression seemed to say: Isn't that what should be done?
"Oh, my God." Josie's tone was very interesting, and she didn't hide her sarcasm, but it seemed to be saying something witty, "Compared to the fact that I got you into my crew in order to sleep with you, isn't it Isn't your acting skills conquering everyone and getting the role, which makes people feel more fulfilled?"
"You can do both," Russell said.
At this time, he slowly lowered his eyes, and he knew that this action would make his eyes look extraordinarily deep and melancholy, with a trace of precious fragility.
The beauty in front of my eyes is really a rare stunner - except for her nose which is slightly out of line with his aesthetics - and she is proud enough and good enough, especially after watching that "Titanic", no man Don't want to get her.
However, she is so indifferent, it is unpredictable.
Josie showed Russell a perfect smirk, then stretched out her right hand, brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his shoulders, and then replied calmly: "No, you can't—because, I'm a bit of a clean freak. "
After speaking, she withdrew her hand, her smile unchanged.
Instead, Russell's complexion suddenly became very bad.
Fortunately, in this scene, Russell as the male protagonist can only play one of the performance props of the heroine. It is enough to stand still and give a back view, so Russell's short-lived dark face It didn't affect anything.
Moreover, his emotional intelligence is also excellent enough, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and he was still able to play with Josie calmly.
He was even in the mood to tell Josie: "You know what? Now I think you're even more charming, because you're the first movie heroine I haven't slept with."
"That's so regrettable." Josie's tone was very perfunctory, "And how do you know that you are the hunter, not the prey?"
"Because they all miss me." Russell shrugged.
Josie showed a subtle smile, and her tone was subtle yet teasing: "So? It's almost the 21st century, you don't really think that you are the only one enjoying this matter, right?"
She looked Russell up and down, as if evaluating the value of a good piece of beef, and came to the conclusion that she was not so hungry.
So Josie hooked her lips and said a name: "For example, Ms. Sharon Stone?"
Russell's body froze slightly.
The most enjoyable thing about hunting for beauty is undoubtedly the high-ranking initiative, but being hunted by women in turn... That is really an experience that I don't want to recall again.
Despite being teased face to face by Josie, Russell didn't turn his back on him—nor would he turn his back on him.
On the one hand, he thinks that as a man, he is always extra tolerant towards beautiful women;
On the other hand, Josie Horton is not an ordinary actress, she represents capital.
In this circle, no matter what position you are in, you should follow the way your position operates. This is one of the most basic rules of the game in Hollywood.
And "commodity" cannot fight against "capital".
The assistant director's call came from the loudspeaker, reminding the scene to keep quiet and prepare to start filming. The two actors also tacitly did not continue the conversation.
The scene was filmed for several days.
After the filming, Heath's role ended, but he didn't leave the crew immediately, but after a cameo in Amy Heckerling's movie, he somehow found a physical job from the props department, and he is still in the In and out of the set, very busy.
"I wanted to see the birth of my first Hollywood movie," Heath explained, "and I just didn't have a job."
Oh, need to correct, originally he should have.
After Heath got the role of "The Perfect Victim", he had his own agent, Steve Alexander, who had found a lot of scripts for him to choose from as early as half a month ago.
However, after seeing it, he refused.
Because, he doesn't want repetitive characters, and he doesn't want boring characters.
So he would rather stay in the crew to do odd jobs, at least not every newcomer who comes to Hollywood has the opportunity to watch performances of this level up close, whether it is Russell Crowe, Alan Rickman, or Josie Horton , these actors are amazingly good.
Especially Josie Horton, who doesn't play much with him but plays an important role.
As we all know, she is one of the few actors who completed three Oscar nominations before the age of 25. The last one was goddess-level actress Natalie Wood.
