Chapter 176
On the other hand, Josie has been busy all year, maybe she should take a break after the Oscars and shoot a relatively light-hearted romantic comedy instead of a fantasy epic that requires long hours of intense training.
Of course, the role of Alwen is indeed very classic, just like Legolas in the same film, the character filter is so thick that it is enough to eat for more than ten or twenty years.
However, what Josie lacks now is not only classic roles, but breakthrough roles, preferably the kind of girlcrush heroine movies, which will be more helpful to her career.
It is undoubtedly a difficult choice to give up Alwyn or the Lord of the Rings series, but as a popular star rather than a literary actor, the thin character setting and long shooting cycle accompanied by this role are out of date.
"Besides, don't you think that the star power of a big star will take away the charm of a character?" Josie asked.
Not long ago, David Bowie took the initiative to call Peter Jackson, willing to play the role of Elrond, the lord of Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings, but Peter Jackson declined the proposal because his superstar temperament was not suitable.
"That's because his face has become a worldwide popular symbol." Peter Jackson said, "I want to look for a face that is not very old but full of vicissitudes and wisdom, and there should be a sense of mystery that belongs to elves. "
He paused for a while, and continued: "I have seen several of your films, and the role in "Titanic" is indeed very well completed and very successful, but I personally think that you are not the kind of actor who is easily stereotyped, And Alwyn's character is the type that you haven't challenged."
Josie just smiled and didn't respond.
——Never underestimate your eloquence as a director, even if you seem to be very honest, in fact, each one is more hype.
Is Alvin a challenge?At least for Josie, there is not much difficulty at all, not to mention that the role itself is positioned as a blockbuster vase, and every episode of the movie will be responsible for brushing her face, kissing, and then nothing else.
Peter Jackson felt uneasy.
In fact, before deciding to fly to the UK, Peter Jackson got a filming tidbit of "Titanic" from James Cameron, which is a clip of the heroine played by Josie galloping on horseback.
In just 30 seconds, Peter Jackson decided to invite Josie to play the role of Alwen, even though the process would not be so easy.
Because the actress is not only outstanding in appearance, but even more amazing on horseback.
He seems to see an unruly soul chasing and playing with the wind. The whole picture has a lively and bright background color, full of freedom and infinite dazzling vitality.
——It would be a pity not to play an elf princess.
"Maybe you haven't considered another reason, PJ." Josie shook her head, "I'm not good at expressing the peace and tranquility of elves. I suggest you find other actresses to audition for the role instead of focusing on me alone." on people."
Peter Jackson was a little disappointed, but he obviously didn't give up. Instead, he temporarily stayed in the town and decided to stay for a few days before talking.
Josie didn't object or support, but asked Susan to give Peter Jackson a key to the room next door to Robert Downey Jr.
Early the next morning, an unexpected scene appeared in the hotel lobby.
Peter Jackson actually chatted with Ernest Dawson, the "townsman" in the town, and tried his best to invite him to get out of the town, fly to New Zealand, and play an elf prince or something.
"Sorry, but I'm really not good at acting." Ernest said seriously. After seeing Josie coming down the stairs, he gave Peter Jackson a slight nod and got up to walk away.
Oh, his aloof and elegant, ascetic and old-fashioned personality—
And the perfect blond hair and blue eyes and slender figure that can't be concealed by the dusty clothes——
Sculpture-like facial features——
It's exactly like an elf coming out of Middle Earth!
Peter Jackson hurriedly followed, not even noticing his boss, but came to the carriage and persuaded: "You are still so young, why don't you try another possibility? I can guarantee that even if you don't know how to act, As long as your face appears on the big screen, you will definitely become famous."
"..." Ernest looked helplessly and distressed at the strange man in front of him, "I think we need to get to know each other again, Mr. Jackson. My name is Ernest Dawson. famous director—by the way, I liked Guilty Angel, but not Ghost of Terror.”
Peter Jackson was stunned for a moment.
Because as far as Hollywood language art is concerned, it is very common and common for people to say that they like your movie or that they are your fans. Instead, it is surprising to say that they don’t like a certain movie of yours in person. .
But he soon felt genuinely happy, like, "Hey, he actually saw my movie," "Cool, this guy has a personality and is honest," or whatever.
Josie on the side chuckled and added something for Ernest: "Ernie is my friend, PJ, he is not a professional groom, he directed my last movie."
This is a little embarrassing.
It was very difficult for Peter Jackson to overlap the image of the rumored young British director with the image of the blond young man in front of him.
However, the other party had already opened the door of the carriage very calmly, then put down the pedals, and showed a gentleman's demeanor, allowing Josie to get into the carriage with her arm on her arm.
After finishing all this, Ernest closed the car door, got into the carriage himself, touched the brim of his hat and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Jackson."
"Goodbye." Peter Jackson was very sorry, and watched their carriage drive to the sea.
After a while, he remembered that because of this episode, he forgot to persuade Josie about her daily trip today, and even forgot to take their ride, and he immediately sighed.
And when Peter Jackson finally got on the transport of other staff members and arrived at the location, the director of "The Trap" had already arranged today's scene, and was talking to Josie one-on-one. A good time to be interrupted.
As for Ernest, the ordinary young man in a small town didn't know where he went.
Peter Jackson had no choice but to find an inconspicuous corner by himself, moved a chair and sat down to keep quiet. While waiting, he also observed another director's shooting schedule.
The high ceiling hall of the castle is brightly lit, and the crows of ravens can be faintly heard from the seaside cliff outside the window.
in the hall.
The thin red thread is tied with small bells, like a three-dimensional multi-layered spider web, opening a trap and waiting for its own prey.
This is one of the most important scenes in "The Trap of Stealing the Sky". The scene where the heroine travels through the infrared ray is extremely lethal to the audience.
Josie put on a sleeveless training suit that showed her figure, and her half-length hair was meticulously coiled into a low bun.
She first did a set of warm-up exercises on the spot, and then auditioned from beginning to end according to the requirements of Jon Amir and the action director. This section of the picture should be completed impeccably.
From the monitor, it can be seen that Josie's body movements are strong and flexible, her body lines are very smooth and graceful, and she is not as thin or even weak as some people imagined.
Especially the arms and back exposed to the air, the muscles on them have been scientifically and systematically trained, every inch is like a carefully carved work of art, without any traces of ferocity or roughness.
Waist down, sideways, rollover, support... She has excellent control and coordination of herself. She is not very tall among Caucasians at five feet seven, but she has slender limbs and excellent proportions. She is indeed an action star good material.
At some point, Peter Jackson in the corner had quietly moved behind Jon Amir, looking over his shoulder to observe the screen on the monitor.
The camera was focused on Josie's side profile.
This young girl is covering her eyes with a dark red silk scarf, which makes her have superior bones, black hair and snow skin, and her lips are also brightly colored, full of allure.
Peter Jackson on the side frowned slightly.
Jon Amir yelled "Cah", and asked the makeup artist to touch up Josie's makeup and change into a dry top.
Josie took off the silk scarf and suggested tactfully: "After my personal experience, this is really not an easy job. I don't think matte makeup and perfect hair are suitable for this role. At least she should sweat a little or something. "
"But the beautiful and sexy goddess is covered in sweat... This doesn't sound very elegant." Jon Amir understood what she meant, but seemed very hesitant.
"Emmmmm——" Josie paused, she was not surprised by this kind of feedback, and said with all her strength: "She's just a goddess stealing, not a real goddess. And you don't think the picture of sweat dripping down the jaw line is also sexy Is it? There is not only one way to maintain femininity, down to a single strand of hair.”
Jon Amir still didn't agree very much, but there was a slightly hesitant look on his face.
Josie made persistent efforts and continued: "Come on, Jon, listen to me and try! There is never only one way to express sexiness and coquettishness, female strength and wisdom are also very attractive, maybe we can create a new classic Woolen cloth."
In terms of charming and enchanting femininity alone, Josie thinks that she is slightly inferior to Catherine Zeta Jones, the heroine of the original version of "Stealing the Sky". feminine route.
And Zun Long is not the original actor Sean Connery.
A sufficient chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists of the movie will make the final rivalry more exciting and the plot more tense.
Josie's personal temperament is inseparable from the tone of dignity and alienation, and sometimes makes people feel arrogant and indifferent. She has never been the kind of little woman who can be controlled by others, but a more ambitious and superior figure .
This should be a cat and leopard combined female.
Not only has the cunning and lightness of a cat, but also the rebelliousness of a leopard. With enough patience and brains, only aiming at the opportunity will give the enemy a fatal blow. He is a natural hunter who exists with passion and ruthlessness.
As for Zun Long, the hero she chose, his personal temperament is relatively gentle and elegant, accompanied by a kind of Buddhist compassion. But there is always a sense of loneliness that leads to the same goal.
The two of them appeared in the camera at the same time, and people immediately noticed that it would never be a romantic relationship between the hero and heroine, but two equally talented but lonely individuals.
The heroine is a wildfire in the night, cold and hot, while the hero is a quiet pool, mysterious and difficult to explore.
Jon Amir was temporarily persuaded by Josie and agreed to let her take three shots.
