Chapter 302
"So, besides going to college to chase stars, my dear daughter is now counting on your father to help you chase stars." Ron Howard joked, and said: "It's a pity that so far I have Josie Horton has nothing to do with each other, and there is no chance to work with her recently."
"Alright then." Bryce Howard could only shrug his shoulders, pretending not to care.
It's just that the slightly dim blue eyes somewhat betrayed the young girl's true emotions.
So Ron Howard chuckled, and then said: "——However, you can call your Uncle Clint to try your luck. I heard that he is planning a project and intends to invite Josie Horton Joining with Sean Penn."
The "Uncle Clint" he mentioned is the Hollywood director and veteran tough guy Clint Eastwood. Later, he starred in the very classic "Bridges of Madison County" with his 1993-year-old partner Meryl Streep. His unparalleled screen charm has conquered generations of movie fans.
It can be said that Clint Eastwood is a living legend - of course the love life of this big star is also legendary.
Recently, in addition to participating in the documentary "Hundred Hollywood Stars in One Hundred Years", he also bought the copyright of the novel "Mystic River" by American writer Dennis Lehane, and is preparing to adapt it into a movie.
Sean Penn has been proposed to play the male lead, and Clint Eastwood hopes to invite Josie Horton to play a special role in the male lead's daughter, a role that does not exceed 10 minutes, because he has taken a fancy to this That precious fragility of an actress.
"Really? That's great!" Bryce Howard jumped up all of a sudden, but suddenly adjusted his expression reservedly, and said to Ron Howard: "By the way, I'm not chasing stars, at most I'm Studying Josie Horton and Edward Norton in Fight Club, even Stella thought it was important."
Stella Adler is the only American actor who has studied with acting master Stanislavsky himself. Oscar winner Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro were her students.
Bryce Howard is currently studying at Stella Adler's New York Acting School, and she is also a first-year acting student at New York University's Tisch College.
Currently recognized as the leaders of this generation of actors, Josie Horton and Edward Norton, these two actors are undoubtedly one of the must-have teaching plans for acting schools, whether it is "Titanic", "The Perfect Victim", "American X-Files" ", as well as "Fight Club", are considered to be of great teaching value.
Even being an acting student would not be complete without having performed Titanic in class.
To a certain extent, these two actors represent different directions of the same talented method actors. Josie Horton often acts on instinct, and Edward Norton will have more elaborate designs.
And Josie Horton also prefers to use the experiential way to achieve her goal.
Contrary to the general perception of the public, it is not experience school to act in everything, but to start from the self and put the soul into the role.
Therefore, experienced actors often need more talent, because it is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive yourself.
For example, when acting as a terminally ill patient, it is not difficult to show weakness. What is difficult is that it is not easy for an actor to believe that he is terminally ill and his time is numbered, so as to achieve a subconscious reaction.
Therefore, after watching Josie Horton's "The Perfect Victim", Bryce Howard feels a little more exaggerated than ordinary movie fans-it's scalp tingling-it's hard to imagine how Josie Horton used this way to play a whole movie.
And it's not that this actress can't use methodological skills correctly. For example, in "The Perfect Victim", which won her an Oscar, some close-up shots can intuitively show the actress's understanding of facial expressions. Fine control.
Her face is that of a well-trained orchestra, and she herself is a skilled conductor, and whichever muscle she wants to play the violin, it will definitely not play the piano.
Simply a monster.
Bryce thinks that she can perform to a seventy-eighth level under the guidance of Stella Adler for the performances in other movies, but "The Perfect Victim" is still a problem.
Even if the piano part is not added, Josie Holden's exquisite muscle control, emotional state that seems to be withdrawn but actually undercurrent, and the charm of the screen brought by every smile, all of which are almost impossible to replicate.
too frightening.
Why would I be in the same era as such an actress?
Even Bryce Howard couldn't help but start to reflect, is he really as talented as he always thought?
The most ridiculous thing is that there are still people on the Internet who think that Josie Horton's Oscar queen is not worthy of her name. It should be the final winner of that Oscar.
oh, obviously—
Gwyneth Paltrow is the real performer. Basically, "Shakespeare in Love" is very similar to Audrey Hepburn's performance in "Roman Holiday", and Paltrow is not like A Hepburn Unparalleled charisma.
But Paltrow herself probably never felt that way.
A week later.
The first day of winter vacation.
Bryce was walking on the campus of New York University that blended with Manhattan, and unexpectedly found that everyone was extremely excited today, even her introverted classmate Sally was no exception.
"Good morning, Sally, let's go to classroom A together?" Before Sally could react, Bryce naturally walked side by side with her.
"...Good morning, Bryce." Sally greeted slowly.
Their morning general education classes were held in the same classroom, but that didn't mean Sally was flattered when she was greeted by the acting major.
On the contrary, she was a little nervous.
Bryce didn't seem to see this, and just asked casually: "What happened today? I always feel that the campus is full of festive atmosphere."
— just about to put the Christmas decorations and Mariah Carey songs back on again.
"Don't you know? Josie will go back to school this morning, and she may even give a speech!" Speaking of this, Sally felt much more at ease.
"Josie Horton?"
"Of course it's her!"
"Emmm, are you her fan?"
"Super movie fans! —Wait, aren't you? This year's Tishi basically applied to New York University for the sake of getting close to her, such as me."
"That's it."
Bryce gave Sally an ambiguous answer.
In fact, almost everyone believed that Josie Horton was undoubtedly the key reason for Bryce to abandon USC at home and come to New York to study at university.
Because she has collected all the movies that Josie Horton has appeared in, watched "Fight Club" over and over again in the cinema, collected various interviews about Josie Horton, and even the content of rehearsals in acting classes is often intercepted Works from each other.
Isn't this the behavior of super movie fans?
But Bryce doesn't think she is.
She just set Josie Horton as one of the targets she would defeat, and maybe even admired him a little bit—just a little bit, she swears,
After a big class, the teacher on the podium happily announced that Josie Horton will participate in a sharing session in the school auditorium this afternoon, mainly explaining some experience and answering some questions as a senior.
Most importantly, the big star is likely to pick a few lucky ones to join her new cast that she is preparing.
Of course, only a few top students are qualified to understand this crucial point, and Bryce was left to mention a few words, but Sally didn't know it at all.
"I know, this may not be a good opportunity for you, Bryce, but you have to know that in addition to being an actor, Josie Horton's more important identity is a producer."
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with maintaining a good alumni relationship. After all, this is a very useful and reliable network.
Even though her last name is Howard.
After the sharing session, Josie returned to the apartment on the Sohu side, and Jim also came back after finishing his work.
"How about sharing?" He was wearing an apron and was cutting the food in his hands on the island-shaped operating table in the kitchen.
"Everyone is friendly and enthusiastic, and I almost can't stand it." Josie said honestly, "How about you, how was the meeting in the afternoon?"
"Not bad," Jim replied, "Brandon thinks I should do 'Jesus' or 'Gadfly,' but I'd rather try 'Judas,' so I'd like to hear your opinion."
This afternoon, Jim and his new theatrical agent, Brandon White, met with Broadway producer Barbara Whitman and stage director Derek Wells.
Brandon White handpicked two auditions for Jim.
A "Gadfly" from off-Broadway. In recent years, the adaptation trend of famous works has swept from Hollywood to Broadway, and they have made some modern adaptations for it.
In Brandon's view, Jim's appearance, family, and Italian and British background of three generations of his ancestors make the role of Arthur Bolton seem tailor-made for him.
In addition, another project that Brandon is interested in has too much competition. It is the famous Broadway musical "Jesus Christ the Superstar".
Andrew Lloyd Webber and his team are preparing for next year's rehearsal performance, and the most important leading actor has been determined.
The best candidate to play the absolute soul of Jesus is British stage actor Glenn Carter. He has performed classic plays such as "Grease" and "Hamlet" in the West End and Broadway before, and his strength is evident.
As for Judas, another important role, Brandon doesn’t think it is very suitable for Jim, because Jim’s special temperament with subtle divinity is very suitable for playing Jesus, and it would be a pity not to try to win the B role of Jesus. .
You heard that right, just try it.
As a well-known actor in his old home in Europe, Jim's most well-known label in this fresh land of the United States is the boyfriend of "Hollywood actress Josie Horton", and this does not bring him much success on Broadway benefit.
Because the rules of the game on Broadway and Hollywood are very different.
