Chapter 125 Keep Passionate
Eve came to the study and carefully checked the email sent by Dalton, and then filled in her basic information column by column, including educational background, current movies, honors she received and even her home address.
Americans are very particular about community culture. From the environment where a person lives, he can infer his living standard and class.
She has certain thoughts about next year's Oscars. The two films that DreamWorks will promote next year are almost all masculine films. It is a battle for Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Director. It has nothing to do with her female acting awards. Not much conflict.
And most importantly, the USC Alumni Association is not just about Steven Spielberg, he is just one of them!
This year let the alumni vote for the films produced by his company, do you still have the nerve to continue next year?Favor and face are things that are easy to use for the first time, but repeated use will make people disgusted.
After filling it out, Eve sent the email back. She knew that she was going to stay in Hollywood, and acting was not enough. Neither Daniel Day-Lewis nor Meryl Streep could avoid the public relations of the awards season. Let alone her.
The biggest ticket holders for the Oscars are of course elderly white men. It is said that more than 90% of the academy’s judges are white, and 75% of them are men. The average age is over 60 years old. Many of them were eliminated by the film industry. People, holding Oscar is easy to be publicized by Weinstein, who is also an old white man.
Movies that are too innovative in genre and too avant-garde in theme will basically not be liked, and movies that are too bland and too ironic will not be eligible for Oscars.It is difficult for an actor who is too handsome to win an Oscar, and a beautiful actor must use disfigured ways to win the approval of the judges.
Compared with the old-fashioned male and female leading role awards, the Academy pays equal attention to encouraging newcomers and rewarding old people for both male and female supporting roles. There are different ages among the winners, and it is much more lenient than the heroine.This is why some actresses have to report for the supporting actress with the role of the heroine.
Even though the filming hasn't started yet, Eve feels that she has paid too much, and she is still not a producer.If the film was produced by my own company, it is estimated that my hair would fall out due to anxiety.
After Keanu saw his girlfriend's happy smile disappear, he took the initiative to comfort him: "Joining the alumni association is a good thing, look at me, I don't know which school to find to take me in."
He showed a hurt and downcast expression, went through several high schools, and finally dropped out of school to go to Hollywood. He did not have an alumni association.
Eve knew that this guy was acting, but he was still laughed at. He was obviously a savior-type action star, but he was able to make such an expression, which showed that his acting skills had improved a lot.
Joining the alumni association represents that I am slowly moving towards the center of Hollywood. It is indeed a good thing that I can get in touch with some bigwigs at the beginning, and I shouldn't expect too much.None of them have contributed or helped others, and others will not vote for you just because they all graduated from the same school.
Keanu wanted to stay, but Eve didn't say anything. In the end, he reluctantly got on the bicycle at the door and headed back to his home.
……
In an ordinary two-story building in Los Angeles, the crew of "Almost Famous" is starting to shoot here.
Director Cameron Crowe sat next to a monitor in a striped shirt, while Cohen's sister-in-law Frances McDormand rehearsed with childhood William actor Michael Angarano in front of the camera.
Although this kid is only about ten years old, he has a lot of experience in acting. He debuted as a child model when he was five years old. He is the protagonist of "coverme" and played the role of Meryl Streep's son in "Touching Hearts". , and the same character in this movie, it can be said that he is a professional son of an actress!
Perhaps his most famous role is probably the New York boy who played against Liu Yifei, Jet Li and others in "The King of Kung Fu".
"Michael, you will only have one line later, but I need you to show curiosity and doubt, especially when your mother is arguing with your sister, and you need to focus more. Can you do it?" Cameron has a very temper Okay, let's start talking about the play carefully, for fear that the children will not understand.
The little boy replied confidently, "No problem, I understand!"
Cameron looked at Francis and Zoe, who also nodded. They have rehearsed twice, basically interpreting the conflicting state of the mother and daughter.
In the corner of the crew, Eve and Keanu, who were dressed in low-key clothes, watched the live performance silently. They will not be filmed for the next few days, but it is also very good to come to the crew early to feel the atmosphere.
It is very important for an actor to maintain passion.Most people were very excited when they first got the role and the script, and they felt a sense of accomplishment when they successfully interpreted the character's characteristics.
But no matter how enthusiastic it was at the time, filming is still just a job.When the actors are in and out of the set every day, and after dozens of hundreds of hours of filming in a week, this enthusiasm can easily dissipate.
It is necessary to ensure that the tricks can be performed well or even live every day, that is the most important thing.
Eve can't devote herself to the crew every day now, all she can do is to get as close to the characters as possible within her ability.
As for Keanu, he just came to accompany his girlfriend. He and the rest of the actors who played the members of the Still Water band are still receiving training every day, mainly to increase their proficiency, and by the way, to cultivate the tacit understanding of the actors.
When filming their stage performances, no substitutes will be hired, and the audience must feel that this is a professional rock band.If Keanu and Jason Lee and others can't convince the audience, it will definitely be a very good show.
Elaine, played by Francis, is a university professor who believes in vegetarianism and maintains a critical attitude towards politics and rock. Even a duet singer like "Simon and Garfunkel" will prohibit her daughter from listening because of disagreement with values.
The lovely Zoe and Francis proved to the crew that they both have acting abilities, playing the conflicting mother and daughter very well, and everything is forbidden, which is completely breathless.
Eve watched from the side. She didn't think Francis' acting skills were outstanding, but rather ordinary. He played a strict single mother in a very down-to-earth manner. There seemed to be a lot of such mothers in the United States!
Perhaps this is the return to the ordinary after reaching the pinnacle, being able to smooth out the edges and corners of one's body, and playing a person with a strong personality in line with the plot story, fully excavating the characteristics of a person with the identity of a mother when facing a rebellious child.
In the face of Zoe's loud questioning and accusation, Francis reversed the situation of strength and weakness in four or two ways. With just a few lines, he took the initiative and turned his daughter's reasonable appeal into unreasonable trouble.
Eve held her chin, thinking silently, if it was her, how should she break the situation?
Zoe's acting skills are actually not bad. It fits Alita's identity very well. She wants to control her own destiny and become normal. She has a sense of suffocation of being overwhelmed by her family, and her performance is remarkable.
"Francis' performance is relatively restrained. If she exerts her strength, this part will be out of balance." This part of the plot does not require Francis to erupt. After the son is mixed with the rock band, it is the time for the small volcano of this loving woman to erupt. !
She found that she not only likes acting, but also likes to watch other people acting. Naturally, acting has become the most important thing in her life.
"It's a pity, the role of this role is a bit rare, otherwise it would definitely be a strong contender for the Oscar supporting actress or heroine." Francis has a strong character, so when she plays some strong female characters, she is particularly handy .
The on-set scheduling is well-organized, Cameron is the absolute core of the film, and no one on the set will challenge his authority.
Driven by the veteran actors, the performance of the two young actors was much smoother. The filming was completed after only three or four NGs in the middle, and the work pressure was not great.
Cameron came to Eve while the crew was changing the shooting location, and said with a smile, "How is your experience in the crew? You will be filming your part next week, so you won't let us down." ?”
"The atmosphere of the crew is very relaxed. I have adjusted my status. Now I am Keanu's fan, not his flesh and blood."
"Sounds interesting. He looks like a real rock heartthrob. It's absolutely right to choose him to play the role of Rossall." Cameron spread his hands, "We discussed it and are going to This movie is positioned as PG-13. What this movie needs is memories, not the social truth of the 70s and [-]s. When shooting and editing, we will try to avoid politics, hippies, sexual liberation, feminist movement, drugs, etc. , just pass them by as the background.”
It is impossible not to appear, so we can only say that we will not focus on the description.
Eve knows that this movie has a certain idealistic color, and some things have been thrown away in the script. This is just a Hollywood movie about rock and roll and growing up. It is not a documentary, nor is it a spicy black humor movie. A semi-autobiographical film.
It is not just William Miller who has grown up, but every member of the band and the flesh-and-blood girls have grown up.It's just that this kind of growth needs to pay a big price, and everyone's heart is broken.
This story is great and can evoke the memories of Americans. People who have experienced that era will smile knowingly because it reappeared yesterday after seeing this story. Young people who have not experienced that era can get a glimpse of the past from the movie. .
Cameron originally succumbed to business, and now he finds that his film not only has suitable nostalgia, music, and rock themes for business, but also the gimmick that Keanu and Eve, a couple, starred in the same movie for the first time.
Regardless of whether the two people continue to fall in love or break up during the filming, post-production or release stages, they can arouse the audience's curiosity and enter the movie theater.
