Chapter 229 Welcome to join
In the office, the producer, director, and temporarily captured cameraman were all ready, while Bell's agent was a little uneasy.
After all, there is a performance in such a short period of time, and it is still with Eve Campbell. If you are suppressed by the heroine, then don't even want this role!
For so long, Christian has not been able to enter the mainstream audience circle. He has hardly made any good films since he was an adult. The most memorable one is the role of Laurie in "Little Women".
Both Sheng Yu and He Shengliang, although Christian started relatively high as a child star, he was suppressed by Rui Fan-Phoenix after that, and then he worked with Leonardo in "A Different Sky", "Romeo and Juliet" and "Titanic". "We were defeated in the contest.
For an agent, it’s perfectly fine not to accept commercial films, but if you can’t even act in art films, then of course it’s of little value.
The original Christian Bale was very stubborn, did not have good contacts, and did not have popularity and popularity, so there were fewer and fewer scripts that could be received.
"American Psycho" is his most famous movie in the past two years, but after the performance, he has no other film appointments!
Fortunately, Bell is married and has the responsibilities of his wife and family. If he doesn't get paid, his house will be taken away by the bank.In order not to move to the apartment under his wife's name, Bell was persuaded by Tessa to try this movie from New Line Films.
Tessa knew that New Line Films and Eve were developing an adapted movie, and they had considered many actors, so they asked Bell to try. She felt that Eve had become more and more popular recently, which might boost Bell's popularity.
At the same time, she also used Eve as an example to convince Bell. The Cannes actress and the popular actors of last year's awards season are still acting in the romantic love stories of the public. What's wrong with asking you to play a leading actor who is waiting for you? Maybe you can also learn from others about acting skills.
This meeting was made possible by the combination of various factors. It seems that both the producer and the director appreciate Bell, and everything depends on this performance.
Without making them wait for too long, Eve and the two quickly filed in and came to the conference room.She is very familiar with the plot of the movie, and also has some research on the role of Ellie.
She looked at the few people over there and said, "We are ready, can we start now?"
"You can start at any time." Director Nick began to take over the scene, and the rest of the people remained silent, waiting for the good food to be served.
Who knew that Bell suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I want to start from the outside. You can regard the door of the conference room as my door. I will walk out of the house."
"Need us to give you a hint? When to come in?"
"Of course, any hint is fine." Bell is full of trust in Eve. Although he has not cooperated or rehearsed with this actress, he believes that she will be able to catch the scene.
Eve looked at the physical book in her hand, and she said with a smile: "I will simulate the sound of closing the car door later, and you can come in slowly when you hear it."
More than a year ago, she was still an ordinary newcomer auditioning everywhere, but now she has become a producer interviewing others. Everything has changed too quickly!
Bell walked out silently and closed the door. Here, Eve looked at the positions of the cameras and the positions made by the producers and directors. She marked these positions in her heart.
When you stand up later, you need to let the camera capture your face, and at the same time, let the people on the scene see your facial expressions. At this time, the naked eye will play a greater role.
After determining where she was going to stand, Eve slapped the physical book on the table in the conference room with all her strength, making a muffled "bang".
Not to mention, this sound really sounds like the sound of a car door closing.
A good actor can even simulate such small props.
With this voice, Eve has quietly entered the scene.
She walked towards the door step by step, as if there was a white house over there.If you observe carefully, her steps are a bit messy, her face is facing Nick, Mark Johnson, Lynn and others, and there is a trace of surprise in her eyes.
This house is the building Ellie told Noah about when she was in love a few years ago, and she never thought that one day it would really stand in front of her eyes.
Even though I have seen the report in the newspaper, when I saw the real thing, I was still full of surprise, joy and a little uncomfortable.
It's hard to believe that all these emotions are concentrated in one person's eyes. The cameraman directly took a close-up of Eve, and everyone could see that she was not calm at this time.
She adjusted her standing posture as she walked, and even put her hands gracefully above her eyes, using the light above her head as sunshine, so that she could see more clearly.
A faint smile unexpectedly appeared on her face, because at this time Ellie found a trace of the existence of love in the past.
The door opened at this moment, and Noah, played by Bell, walked in from the corridor with lazy steps, holding a bottle of mineral water in one hand, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed to have no energy, and the whole person was rather decadent.
Eve was quite surprised. The Bell just now was not like this. As a result, when it came time to film, he immediately interpreted Noah's state. A recognized acting school in the future.
It's not just Eve, director Nick immediately patted his thigh lightly after seeing this posture, this guy is really acting like something, and his walking posture is very civilian, unlike the fast, crisp, and sloppy way he played the Wall Street elite in the last movie powerful.
In addition to the steps, the demeanor and small movements are also extremely in place, while walking while slapping the small sawdust that does not exist on the body.As he got closer and closer to Eve, his demeanor changed from being confused to dignified!
Eve didn't speak rashly. She was looking at the rest of the room. When Bell walked over, she stared at his movements. Her lips moved slightly, revealing the turmoil in her heart.
Immediately, a common smile appeared on her face, and she said in a trembling voice, "Hello."
It was a greeting after seven years. It was a familiar voice, but the tone was not as intimidating as before.
Noah, played by Bell, opened his mouth slightly, and his first love girlfriend who had been waiting for many years suddenly appeared in front of him, completely forgetting what to say.
There is an awkward atmosphere between the two of Eve, and there is no such joy as the lover reunited after a long absence. All the joy is sunk in the bottom of the sea, and the dark tide is raging.
"I saw reports about you and this house in the newspaper, so I just wanted to come and see how you are doing." Eve explained her reason for coming awkwardly, "Actually, I don't live nearby, I just want to... ..."
The cameraman had no time to pay attention to Bell, and all the shots were given to Eve. She performed this embarrassing scene vividly, covering up the embarrassment with a smile, and the more she talked, the more she was covering it up.
She didn't even speak a word, she just wanted to meet her first love seven years ago.
But there was no response after saying hello, and there was no response after talking so much, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and some dared not look at Noah.But when she raised her head again, there was a smile on her face.
This kind of business-like smile is usually for people who are not familiar with it, and people who are familiar with it will get a more sincere smile.
Demonstrating control over her facial expressions, she asked, "So are you okay now?"
Both of them were very nervous at this moment. The camera operator finally remembered that there was another actor. When he turned the camera to focus on Bell, he suddenly found that this actor was evenly matched with Eve, and his performance was indistinguishable.
Although Bell didn't have a line at this time, his actions didn't stop. He had already seen Eve, but he felt as if he was dreaming. The sudden appearance of the person he had been thinking about for so long, couldn't it be fake?
So he had the exact same expression as Eve just now, frowning, and put his hand in front of his eyes to block the light.
Nick and the others thought that he was going to show that surprised, shocked, and unbelievable look, but Bell did the opposite, blankly like a piece of wood, and didn't respond at all.
Eve was a little surprised, this guy really started to break free and started to express himself.But she reacted very quickly, if you ignore me, just turn around and leave, so that the two of you won't be embarrassed all the time.
At this time, Ellie should have a kind of uncomfortable thought, because in her heart, she felt that Noah gave up on herself first.
Seven years ago, he was asked to write a letter to himself, but as long as a letter was sent, the relationship between the two of them would not fail.
It’s fine if you don’t write letters, why did you paint the house white, why did you come to the door yourself but didn’t pay any attention.
As a wealthy daughter who lived during World War II, Ellie's skin is actually not thick, and it is the limit to be able to take the initiative to come to her door and say so much.
At this time, she didn't know that Noah had written letters to herself, but these letters were secretly hidden by her mother.
Discomfort, embarrassment, humiliation...
Emotions like these came to my mind all of a sudden, Eve turned around and walked towards the chair, and then started a non-physical performance of driving.
Lynn Harris covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing out loud. Obviously, the girl imitated the driving action very realistically, but he still thought it was very funny?
Christian Bale didn't expect that he would start to play freely, but Eve also didn't follow the routine, acting and driving away, so how can he act as an opponent?
"I'm a stupid girl, why would I want to come to this place. As long as you're okay..."
He just woke up from the petrified state at this time, and the most important thing is that the rest of the people in the meeting room can feel Bell's feeling of relief.
It took Ellie to burst into emotion to feel that everything in front of him was real. Judging from the frequency of his breathing and the rise and fall of his chest, he knew that there was definitely a huge wave in his heart.
Bell held back for a long time, and didn't say anything else, but said lightly: "Do you want to come in and sit down?"
"it is good."
Obviously before the performance was over, Mark Johnson said: "It's okay, it's okay, your performance is very good."
Bell was stopped before he could say a lot of lines, and it would be a lie if he said he wasn't depressed.
Another producer, Lynn, also praised: "Although most of your performances are silent, I can still see what you each want to express. Maybe we can use the awards season as a small goal. It is difficult for Oscar to say , but a nomination for the Golden Globes in the Musical Comedy category might be possible."
The Golden Globes have always judged movies as "drama" and "musical comedy". of.
This type of romantic love movie belongs to the musical comedy category. It is not serious enough, not serious enough, without much depth, and has no reference for Oscar.
It stands to reason that they shouldn't decide this matter in front of the actors, but who made Bell and Eve look so well matched in terms of acting skills and appearance!
Decide on the male lead early, and it can help the crew complete.
"What do you think?" Mark Johnson asked, he wanted to know what the heroine thought.
Eve is not a display, if she disagrees, the leading actor will have to be changed no matter how good he is.
"I was thinking that I should hire an accent teacher. Did you find out just now that Bell changed from a British accent to a southern American accent. I didn't expect this."
Because Bell just said a word, the others didn't pay much attention, but Eve noticed it.
She turned around and shook hands with Bell, and said, "Welcome to the Love Notebook crew."
