[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 116

"The picture fades in, this is a scene of a standard A4 paper. The teenager enters the camera with a pencil in his hand, and writes out the list of each cast and crew with a pencil in a series of camera cuts. We can hear the tip of the pen across the paper when writing The swishing sound..."

Cameron Crowe took the script and calmly explained the shooting method, location and narration.The rest of the studio listened attentively to the director's reading, not daring to be distracted.

After a series of opening words were finally finished, Frances McDormand, who played the lead actor's mother Elaine Miller, immediately seized the opportunity, almost sitting in the same place and speaking in a performance way: "You want to be Etty S-Finch, very good."

This is in stark contrast to the calm tone of the director just now. Francis' tone is really the same as during filming, as if her son was next to her. When her son told his dream, she was naturally very happy, and the tone of the word "very good" behind it Up, brimming with joy and joy.

The emotions are very well controlled, and there are smiles on the faces, completely acting out the feeling of hoping for a child to become a dragon.

Eve and Keanu both turned their heads at the same time, and then saw the surprise and solemnity in each other's eyes, and even a little bit of happiness.

At the beginning, it’s Wang Zang. The acting skills and attitude towards acting of Oscar queens are worth learning for everyone. She is obviously a very good character. Just listening to the lines, you can imagine what the character’s face will look like in the movie. to stand up.

Originally, Eve was complacent because she took Keanu to practice during the Christmas holiday, but she was dismissed as soon as she came, let alone Francis, even the young actor who played the leading role William Miller in childhood He actually looks good, reads the lines completely fluently, and talks to Francis, and the cooperation is quite tacit.

Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would really be outmatched by the young actor!

The previous plot has nothing to do with her. It is about Miller's family and growth. The voices of a few people are flowing in the studio.

The screenwriters and staff on one side all focused on the script, sketching or making notes in it from time to time, and brainstorming and discussing it later after finishing speaking.

Eve is concentrating on the script, and it is rare for her to be able to follow the plot of the whole movie, so that under the big frame of the movie, she will

You say a word, I say a word.The gap in line skills is shown. Although Francis has restrained, she still makes Zooey Deschanel, who plays her daughter, and Patrick Fugit, who plays her son, pale, almost tantamount to a public execution.

Especially Patrick, he acted in a movie for the first time, he didn’t have much study and preparation for his lines, sometimes he stuttered, sometimes he would drop a word, most of the time it was difficult to express himself accurately in his lines Are your emotions surprised, happy, or curious and rebellious?

This boy in his teens was at the time when his self-esteem was bursting. After making mistakes several times in a row, he became even more flustered. He was extremely embarrassed, his face and ears were red, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell into a vicious circle.

Seeing this, Eve, who was sitting next to him, quietly clenched her fist under the table, silently encouraging her.

However, the crew members were aware of the situation, and did not laugh at or correct the mistake, but wanted to wait for the boy to read it aloud and understand the overall story before digging out the details.

Patrick's hands were breaking out in cold sweat at this moment, and he felt that his tongue was beginning to get knotted. He had obviously been able to recite it by himself at home before, but now he almost couldn't even remember how to read the words.The more panicked the worse, all kinds of thoughts came to my head, and I even worried that I would lose this hard-won role because of it!

Seeing that the boy was tense all over, Eve hesitated for a moment, gave Patrick an encouraging look while Francis was speaking, and then nodded in affirmation.

Patrick squeezed out a helpless smile at her, like a wounded dog waiting to be comforted.

"Come on! You're doing well." Eve encouraged silently. It was the first time for the little boy to be among so many heavyweight Hollywood actors, and the pressure and tension would inevitably increase.

Cameron had expected this for a long time. When he decided to choose an amateur boy, it meant that he had to spend more time on the set to guide Patrick. It happened that there were no weak people among the other actors, so there was almost no need to worry about it.

After Patrick received Eve's encouragement, his flustered mind began to gather. At least he didn't misread again, and occasionally he could express the corresponding emotions.

The hero of the story, William Miller, was born in a single-parent family. He lived a good life with his sister Alita Miller and mother Elaine Miller.Mother Elaine is a rather old-fashioned and old-fashioned teacher. When she sees MerryXmas on the glass window of the store on the road, she has to correct the X that is used incorrectly.She was strict with both Alita and William, especially William who skipped a grade since he was a child and was bullied by his classmates, as if he had lost his entire youth.

With a mother like this, rock music has nothing to do with the family, not to mention going out to play with rock bands, or even listening to rock band discs at home!Under such restraint and control, children will naturally feel rebellious.

William's sister Alita chose to get rid of her mother's control when she was an adult. Not only did she have a big fight with Elaine, but she also moved out with her boyfriend with her luggage and escaped from the cage when she was 18 years old.

Before she left, she quietly left her long-collected rock music records to her younger brother William, and these records became William's enlightenment in rock and roll.

Due to skipping grades, he graduated from high school at the age of 15, just one ceremony away.After William made friends with the legendary music critic Lester Bans, he got closer to rock music, and was particularly yearning for the world of rock music that Lester called.

Lester warned William not to be friends with rock stars. At this time, William didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect to gradually verify this point later.

Because he was really curious about rock music, William got a chance to interview Black Sabbath, but he didn't even meet the band because he couldn't get in the backstage!

However, here he got to know the Stillwater band who warmed up for Black Sabbath and the heroine of the story, the top flesh and blood in the rock circle - Petunia Lane.

The name comes from the song of the most famous band, The Beatles. It originally meant the name of a street, but now it is taken over as a pseudonym. Only true rock fans can do this.

At this moment, Eve could no longer care about the others, and it was time for her to appear on stage, so there was no room for distraction.

"You're not, what are you not?" Eve asked in a puzzled tone.

Patrick over there was a little nervous, but ended up getting closer to William's state in the script, "I'm not." After a pause of half a second, he continued, "I'm not flesh and blood."

Eve has successfully entered the role of Petunia. She immediately exclaimed when she heard the name of flesh and blood, and then directly denied: "Oh! We are not flesh and blood."

Word by word came out, and the tone was firm, not acknowledging this at all.

The two extras next to her said, "She's Petunia Lane, show some respect."

"Flesh and skin is to get close to celebrities, and we don't hesitate to sleep with singers. We are music fans, and we come to listen to music." Eve's Petunia Lane is not only well-known in the circle of rock musicians, but also in the circle of fans. Famous, "We don't have sex with these people, we inspire them, we support the music."

Patrick nodded again and again, like the kind of doll on the front of the car.

"Mark Poland dumped her, man, she's famous."

The name mentioned is a British rock singer, the lead singer of the Tyrannosaurus Rex band, and a very famous glam rock singer in the 70s. This also shows that Penny Lane's status is by no means comparable to that of ordinary flesh and blood. of.

Eve's tone was well controlled, and she said in a calm tone: "It's a long story. I'm retired now, and I just came to meet my friends."

Immediately afterwards, Polisia, played by Anna Paquin, also joined the dialogue. The four characters and the director's narration made the dialogue more and more smooth.

After the producer Ian Bryce heard Eve's lines, the worries in his heart relaxed a lot. The girl did not leave the performance behind because of her love affairs. Just this line can feel the careful preparation, It's completely unscripted and performed, not read aloud.

Cameron already had a good impression of Eve, otherwise she would not be allowed to play the most important female role in the movie Penny Lane.

Different from the tearful performance on the day of the audition, today's Eve seems to be more relaxed. Not only can she act well, but she can even drive the flustered Patrick, which is especially rare.

He couldn't help but look at this girl with admiration. She has made remarkable progress. No wonder she can become an important spoiler for the female supporting role in the awards season. The voice should be very high.

When Cameron explained the development of the story in a calm tone, the two girls screamed crazily in an instant, not as calm as before.

On the contrary, Petunia Lane maintained her demeanor, and she knew at a glance that she was not an ordinary person, and the limousine of the Black Sabbath band did not excite her too much.

Just like off-screen, Petunia Lane directly referred to William Miller as her younger brother in the play, and wanted to bring William in. Who knew that Freddie, the gatekeeper, would not let him in, so he didn't agree at all.

William didn't want to cause trouble and was willing to wait outside, while Petunia promised him to get a backstage pass.

At this time, the Stillwater Band who came to warm up for Black Sabbath finally appeared.

It's just that William at this time was called an enemy by rock musicians because he was a reporter, and was even attacked by the band members unanimously.

The smart guy retreated, called out the names of the band members who were not yet famous, and then praised them sincerely. This kind of sincere love made it difficult for the members to refuse. A reporter from a magazine actually liked him waiting for him. People's songs, albums and performances, no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing!

Keanu doesn't have many lines here, but he surprised everyone as soon as he opened his mouth. His line skills are not weak among all actors, and they are completely different from the action actors you imagine.

Is the inherent impression harmful, or has he improved significantly?

Among the people present, only Eve knew the answer. She knew how long Keanu had been preparing for the role. In addition, she was originally in a rock band and had a little part of his true colors. Therefore, she played a talented and handsome guitarist. Come out and break the rumors of the vase.

Maybe it's not that he doesn't have acting skills, but that he hasn't met the right role, script or even director.

This couple doesn't seem to have any faults at the moment, and even Eve deserves to be praised and praised!
