Chapter 277
The new script Flying Page not only deleted a kiss scene, but also changed a previous scene.
Josie put on a hospital gown, and the make-up artist made her look pale and weak. Lying on that hospital bed, she looked like a beauty made of crystal.
The electrocardiograph on the wall emits steady and regular beeps, and the actor Arthur played by Jim is sitting at the head of the hospital bed.
Ten days ago, the heroine Elizabeth woke up from a deep coma. Groups of doctors came to observe this living miracle in incredible ways. They watched her go from being unconscious, to moving her fingers, to opening her eyes for a long time.
But Elizabeth still could not speak.
She was so weak that it took all her strength to lift her arms.
A professor thinks maybe she should reteach her to speak, and is trying to convince Elizabeth's guardian - her mother - outside the ward, while Arthur has no patience to listen to the long paragraphs of medical vocabulary, just want to see the first Miss Elizabeth.
He watched her from the bedside.
The young female doctor was as beautiful as before, but her silent sleeping face lost the vividness after she opened her eyes, but Arthur couldn't stop his inner ecstasy.
Arthur couldn't help himself, couldn't help holding Elizabeth's hand, kissed her palm, then put his hand into her thick hair, and gently stroked her smooth forehead.
His eyes are affectionate and gentle, and his ice blue pupils are like a calm deep sea. Under the sea is silent melancholy and restraint. Without any words, he has already performed a breathtaking romantic scene.
Arthur just looked at Elizabeth in front of him for a long time, quiet and focused, sometimes he was even reluctant to blink, as if he was afraid that Elizabeth would disappear again after a blink.
After a long time, Elizabeth finally woke up.
The patient who hadn't fully recovered was a little confused at first, but when he saw Arthur's sudden agitation, he couldn't help showing bewildered and strange emotions.
Arthur's heart tightened, and he understood at once—
She had forgotten everything that had happened with him when she was in a coma, in a ghost state.
They had been so close, but now he was just a stranger to her.
Arthur was both sad and happy, and the sudden change of mood made the man's eyes reddened, and even tears welled up in his eyes.
Elizabeth stared at him.
She didn't even have the strength to tilt her head, she could only express her confusion with her eyes, as if asking: Are you okay?Who are you?Why can't I speak?
Arthur showed a bitter smile, looked at Elizabeth on the hospital bed lovingly, and said softly: "Everything is fine. I am... a nurse from the hospital. You will be able to talk soon, don't be too tired .”
Elizabeth was skeptical, but she hesitated, smiled back at Arthur, and fell asleep again.
In this way, Arthur went to the hospital every day.
He always sat silently beside Elizabeth's bed, waiting for her to wake up, and then, like a particularly enthusiastic nurse, told her every detail of what happened outside in a soothing voice.
And Elizabeth could not speak, always stared at him, occasionally smiled at him, and then fell asleep peacefully.
Until one day, Elizabeth grabbed Arthur's hand, looked at Arthur with a probing look, and suddenly asked, "You are not a nurse—who are you? Why, you are here every day."
Because she hadn't used her vocal cords for a long time, her voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, but it sounded like heaven to Arthur.
Arthur just looked down at her, didn't answer her question, but rang the call bell, so that real nurses and doctors came to examine Elizabeth.
And he stood in a corner of the ward and watched her silently. Those medical staff exclaiming about miracles came and went, almost crowding the room, but Elizabeth could never ignore the man who was squeezed into the farthest corner.
The man who claimed to be a nurse.
There seemed to be a lot of things that Elizabeth didn't understand in his eyes, and there was a slight smile on his face, but it made people feel very sad.
"Are you okay?" After a series of checks, Elizabeth's mother who hurried over asked hesitantly.
"I'm fine," said Arthur, "better than ever."
Sadness was just an inevitable feeling at that moment. He quickly decided to clean up his emotions, because true love was already engraved in his heart. Compared with pursuing his lover again, it was obvious that what he couldn't accept was that there was no her in this world.
"CUT—"
Nora Efron beckoned, asking the hero and heroine to come over to the monitor and watch their performance replay.
"Josie, what do you think of this change?" Nora Efron asked.
"I think 'Arthur' gives people a very warm feeling." Josie looked at Jim, "He was conflicted, but he still chose the most considerate way to treat 'Elizabeth'."
"Jim, what do you think?" Nora Efron asked again, "Can you tell me what you think?"
With a smile on his lips, Jim replied: "I think our heroines are right. Because they don't need too much drama, and the flat treatment is more natural."
Nora Efron agreed: "Okay then we'll cut that kiss scene and do it again. I want you guys to give me a little more pull, especially Jim, I want to see you pain and heartbreak, but they're not volcanic eruptions, they're silent surges of emotion weighed down by a deeper love."
So they took two new photos and took a break until the afternoon to start work again.
Josie didn't go to the dining car to have lunch right away, but watched the replay of their performance in front of the monitor, and found that Nora Efron, known as the "Hollywood Love Master", was really good at it. She figured out the psychology of women It is very in place, the lens language is delicate and beautiful, full of life.
In her lens, what people see is not how beautiful or handsome the leading stars are, but the moving emotions between the male and female protagonists, the details of life, and every frame is so vivid good.
"This shot is very moving." Jim also watched the replay and said with a sigh, "I always believed that Nora would be a very good film creator, but in fact, I still underestimated how good she is."
Josie agrees, saying, "Ms. Efron is an amazing director, and even in a male-dominated industry, she's still one of the best."
Jim glanced at Josie beside him, and asked hesitantly, "You seem to mind the sexism in the film industry?"
"Yeah, I'm an actress after all." Josie's tone was a little mocking, but she didn't go further on this topic, but asked Jim tentatively: "We will have a three-day holiday for Halloween, do you have any plans? "
Jim smiled and replied, "I pick a book every day, or a movie to pass the time. That's probably what I do during the holidays."
In addition to making movies, his life is actually so lacking in surprises that people think he is always so handsome and eccentric, as if he is not sociable.
But in fact, he just likes to be passionate about the things he is passionate about, and sometimes he can be very active and talkative.
"Of course, if someone is willing to give me a little extra arrangement—" he continued to add, "I will be very grateful, and I will be at her call at any time."
Josie couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's like this, my friend Lucy Spiller, a magazine editor invited me to their Halloween party, but I don't have a male companion. So..."
"So, do I have the honor?" Jim asked as a matter of course, while gazing into Josie's face with those amazingly beautiful blue eyes, "Although it's not polite to interrupt someone, I still think this kind of thing should let me Take the initiative. Can you forgive me?"
Josie didn't know what to say, so she couldn't stop smiling, "Okay, okay. Look, I'll ask my assistant to send you the itinerary—do you have any favorite Halloween costumes?" ?Old movies, comic book characters, or whatever..."
Some Hollywood stars will spend more than half a year preparing for the Halloween party, but Josie is not so interested in this festival. She mainly promised Lucy Spiller and wanted to share with her friends Just playing together.
a few days later.
Tomorrow is the traditional western ghost festival - Halloween.
But like Christmas, tonight's Halloween is the most festive and intense.
Every household has started the pre-Halloween carnival. All kinds of pumpkins and ghost elements filled the whole city. Many ordinary people’s houses were also lit with jack-o-lanterns, and children with baskets were welcome to knock on the door. Ask for candy.
"trick or treat!"
"Now" magazine has booked a hot bar in West Hollywood to provide music, alcohol and carnival for the magazine staff and invited Hollywood stars tonight.
Leonardo DiCaprio chartered a flight from New York with his members of the Wildcats, and brought a dozen hot girls of different skin colors, and he didn't even wear makeup, and he didn't seem to have a special Halloween atmosphere .
In contrast, Josie looked very delicate and glamorous in a black velvet dress with long gloves of the same color and fluffy curly hair.
"Wow——" Leonardo was amazed at the first sight of Josie, ""The Embroidered Scarf Masked Bandit"?"
Josie sat on a high stool cooperatively, posed in a classic look of the heroine in the movie, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Yeah, how's it going?"
"I want to light a cigarette for you." Leonardo replied honestly.
After finishing speaking, he actually took out his cigarette case from his jacket pocket, leaned over and lit a cigarette for Josie.
Josie held the cigarette between her fingers and didn't smoke. She only used it as a prop and asked, "What shape are you in?"
Leonardo lowered his brows hard, grinned an exaggerated smile, widened his eyes and stretched his neck, completely throwing away the burden of being an idol.
Josie laughed dumbfounded: "Don't tell me, this is Nicholson?"
"Hahahaha, it's the old Jack in "The Shining"!" Leonardo laughed loudly, and when he had had enough, he asked Josie: "Dear J, I heard that you brought a friend from Sicily tonight. 'Laurence Olivier'?"
