Chapter 29
Eve was a little nervous after seeing Julie's actions. She couldn't grasp the actress's psychology, so she took a step back carefully, then raised her chin, and said stubbornly, "Give me the stability!"
Although she was a little afraid of Lisa, in order to get the tranquilizer and relieve herself from anxiety for a while, Daisy went straight up and refused to admit defeat.
Julie attaches great importance to this movie, otherwise she would not have tried her best to get the support of the producer and director. Lisa and her role fit so well. Became an important boost to her acting career.
She came to Eve with a half smile, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and her mouth was even more unforgiving: "We don't need your father's money."
"Then put it over there, don't use it." Eve performed a bit of madness, but at the same time restrained, the volume couldn't help but increase: "Give me the damn Valium!"
Daisy wouldn't have let Lisa and Suzanne into the apartment if it wasn't for the Valium.She has been tortured by her heart for countless days and nights, and she only wants to obtain a short period of peace through drugs.
After Eve finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to Julie with piercing eyes, as if she would not give up until she reached her goal.
James Mangold only hated that there was only one camera in the living room, which could only capture the profiles of the two people. He wished he could take close-ups of both actors!The chemistry between the two was so strong that it seemed like they were evenly matched.
The same blond hair, one is a handsome big sister, the other is a sensitive and innocent cutie, the picture is very harmonious.
Julie was able to get this role not because of any unspoken rules. She glanced at Eve's wrist, then looked directly into Eve's eyes, and directly held Eve's outstretched hand with her right hand with lightning speed.
"What is this? Well, what is this?"
Eve secretly used lipstick and eyeshadow to draw lines on her wrists and arms. She thought she would never have the chance to show them, but now Julie is a godsend!
"open!"
She struggled hard, trying to break free from Julie's grasp. On the surface, she seemed to be strong, but in fact she wanted to rebuff, and accidentally exposed those [-] cents special effect-like makeup traces in front of the camera, which made James, Winona, This can be clearly seen by Georgia et al.
Julie's sarcasm sounded unbearable, and the cameraman also concentrated on focusing the machine's focus on Eve's arm. The traces of makeup were too fake, and it looked like something he had made temporarily.
"Trying new cutlery on your arm?"
"Let me go!" Eve raised her voice again, interpreting Daisy's state of mind at this time to a three-point accuracy.
The voice was a bit sharp, full of exasperation, and his face suddenly turned pale, without any blood.The whole person retreated again and again, but Lisa, played by Julie, approached step by step.
Eve's body directly slammed into the door of the living room, and she looked in a state of distress, with a flustered expression.
The huge noise surprised the actors outside who were waiting for the audition. They all stood up from their chairs, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on inside!
"What's the matter?"
"Do you want to call the police?"
"Is this an audition, or something else?"
"It won't be dangerous, will it?"
"It's just an audition, is it necessary?"
One question after another rose from their minds, their hearts were pounding, and they were afraid that something might happen to the actors who went in to audition.
Even the folks at Sony Columbia were on edge.
Everyone gathered towards the door of the living room, listening to the commotion inside.
At this moment, Julie had a look of aggression, one hand resting on the wall, yin and yang said in a strange manner: "Want to reduce Dad's interest?"
The trend of strength and weakness is very obvious!
The two actresses didn't know each other at all beforehand, and they hadn't practiced at all, but now they have a sense of the sharp point of the needle.
As one of the producers, Winona Ryder is very happy to see this situation. It is very important to have a supporting role who can catch the play, and the performance of the actors plays an important role in "The Girl Who Moved Soul".
She suddenly wanted to participate, and wanted to see how the three of them would work together, so she also raised her voice and shouted: "Lisa! Stop!"
After this pause, the two-person performance was upgraded to a three-person performance, which appeared more mellow.
Taking this opportunity, Eve quickly tore off her sleeves, covered the fake scars on her arms, and walked towards the corner angrily. At the same time, she didn't forget to look back at the camera: "Why don't you look at your own arms? asshole!"
"I'm crazy, Daisy, everyone knows that." Julie sneered, "But you've been so-called recovered, but here you play the chef and cut yourself like a ham."
Winona said: "Stop talking, okay!"
It is said that there are three women in one scene, and Eve, Julie, and Winona are in perfect harmony.
Those actresses who were lying at the door listening to the corner suddenly realized that they were actually auditioning!
They looked at each other, feeling a strong threat from Eve.
The previous few actors who auditioned for the role of Daisy did not have such a strong reaction. They actually allowed the two heroines to play the role, and they could feel the emotional progression just by listening to the voice.
"God, she's so good?"
"Did she read the script in advance?"
"incredible!"
The actors who auditioned for the rest of the roles were better. Brittany and the others looked serious, not knowing how to break up Eve's performance. If this continues, there is basically no suspense in the role of Daisy.
The three actresses in the living room didn't care what others were thinking, and they had to continue acting even if they had to bite the bullet when the director didn't stop.
In this episode, among them, Julie's emotions are the most extroverted, taking advantage of the characters.The protagonist Susanna played by Winona has the fewest lines, just like a spectator watching Daisy and Lisa confront each other.
Julie swaggered on the auditioner's chair and said with a smirk, "Just tell me, Daisy. I thought you didn't take Valium! Tell me, what's safe for you here? Tell me, You didn't run a blade through your skin and pray for the courage to cut it. Tell me, how did your daddy help you with this?"
Winona was extremely helpless as she clutched her forehead, "Jesus, can you two stop for a while?"
In the face of the overbearing Julie, Eve played Daisy with a broken expression to life, her eyes were already red, and her voice was still crying and stubborn, and continued to anesthetize herself: "My father loves me, you won't understand .”
"I think so, he loves you with a whole man's heart."
Faced with this situation, the defeated Daisy directly chose to escape, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her eyes flickered: "I'm going to bed."
Eve took two steps forward around the corner, making sure she was still in view of the camera, and said in a icy tone, "Please leave after tomorrow morning. Lisa, you are just jealous because I recovered and because I was released , because I still have a chance to gain hope for a new life."
At this moment, Daisy, played by Eve, seems to have begun to blacken, shedding the disguise of her innocent appearance, and showing off condescendingly.
As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you show off. Daisy is very proud now, at least she walked out of the mental hospital in a fair manner, instead of escaping like the two of them.
Normal people would be angry when they heard these words, let alone a patient with antisocial personality like Lisa.
This time it seems that the hornet's nest has been stabbed.
Lisa had always been joking before, but she was not as aggressive as she is now, ruthlessly exposing what everyone knew well.
"They released you, not because you recovered, but because you gave up. You think this is a new life? Huh?" Julie sneered, with a cynical smile on her face, as if enjoying the feeling of destroying a person with her own hands.
Eve was already feeling a little bit struggling. These plots were specially prepared by her, but she was still cornered by Angelina Jolie. She sighed in her heart: She deserves to be able to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the future. Even though there are many actors with sexy images, gossips and even scandals, there are indeed two brushes in acting!
Even so, Eve wasn't ready to admit defeat, but took a [-]-point seriousness to deal with it.
Tears were already glistening in her eyes, but she just wanted to control them and not let them stay.Sometimes the effect of crying is not as strong as this kind of restraint. The audience and film critics may be able to feel the state of mind of the character Daisy better at this time.
I have always been strong, if I want to cry, I can only hide in the room and cry, I will never cry in front of others!
Opponent play is opposite play, that is, the opponent must also follow the play, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chemical reaction.
The cameraman was a little too busy at this moment, he only hated that he lost a pair of hands, so he could only frequently switch back and forth between the upper bodies of the two people, and he felt extremely sorry for the scenes he didn't capture in the middle.
Actors are always strong when they are strong, and weak when they are weak. A paralyzed face may drag old actors into the water.
The smile on Julie's face gradually disappeared, and she swaggered and sat on the chair with a strange posture, "I'm jealous of you? Spend daddy's money, buy dolls, buy trinkets, raise a cat, eat his roast chicken, make yourself Fat as a cow? You've just moved somewhere else, nothing has changed. And, everybody knows, mind you, everybody knows your father's close relationship with you. But what they don't know is , you enjoyed the relationship. Right, you enjoyed it."
Winona is obviously the heroine, but she is only playing a supporting role in the audition clip at this moment. She covered her ears, not daring to look at the surrounding situation at all, and swears directly: "Shut your stinky mouth!"
Winona, who has always been gentle, started to go crazy, which is also very interesting, but the cameraman already wants to go on strike, and she can't take so many shots and pictures by herself!
Jolie's Lisa is an asshole with no mercy.
Daisy wanted to refute Sally's words, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, the secret in her heart couldn't be hidden, a tear finally flowed out and hung in the corner of her eye.Holding the wall with one hand, trembling slightly, he waited for a few seconds before saying, "I hope you have a good time in Florida."
After Eve finished speaking, she walked forward along the wall, her gait was a little staggering, her back looked extremely fragile, as if she was about to fall down when the wind blew!
Director James Mangold stood up suddenly, clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Bravo! Awesome!"
Not only him, but also the producer Georgia, the cameraman, and even Winona and Julie applauded together, as if they had just watched a wonderful stage play.
Eve wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and quickly withdrew from the role of Daisy. She bowed to the director and the others, thanked them and said, "Thank you for the praise, especially Miss Julie and Miss Reed, thank you all cooperation."
She can't perform such an effect alone anyway, fortunately someone is on the sidelines.
Angelina, who had just acted, showed her sharpness, but now she has become low-key after returning to reality. She just smiled at Eve and took this gratitude into her bag.
On the contrary, Winona Ryder looked at Eve's profile seriously, then turned to the other two and said, "I think Daisy is what she looks like, what do you think?"
As a producer, Winona wants the whole movie to be a success, and it's really good that a key role can be interpreted to this level.What's more, she also needs an actor in the crew who can balance her and Julie's acting skills and form a tripartite confrontation. Otherwise, during the filming, Susanna, a restrained character, will definitely be crazily suppressed, and someone must share the pressure!
James Mangold naturally has no objection. He can't wait to start filming right now. The three actresses cooperated so well just now, they are the three people in the novel.
Georgia looked at Eve's resume and asked, "It seems that you have already played the leading role. Has the film "Death Comes" finished?"
"The filming is almost a third, and I have to rush back to New York tomorrow to continue filming. It is estimated that the remaining filming will take another two weeks." Eve replied truthfully, and the information can be easily checked, so there is no need to lie.
"Our crew is expected to start shooting at the end of August and shoot until October. If there is no heavy snow in early October, it will be postponed to the snowy location. Can you arrange the schedule?" Georgia is very concerned about the time issue, and he does not allow any interruptions. play happens.
"No problem. "Death Comes" has to catch up with the Halloween schedule, and the producer has requested that the filming must be completed within two weeks."
"OK, you go back and get ready, I'll contact your agent later."
Winona said: "Congratulations, if nothing happens, you are welcome to join the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul"."
Eve showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, I will definitely prepare for this role well, and I won't let everyone down!"
It was not in vain that she prepared for such a long time, and finally won the role initially.She pushed open the door of the living room briskly, only to be startled by the dense crowd at the door.
"What are you doing here?"
These people surrounded the gate almost impenetrably, and all their eyes were focused on Eve, as if they wanted to burn her into holes.
Brittany was petite and stood out from the crowd. She was a little jealous and curious: "What did you play in it, and why did it make such a big noise? Why did they act with you? Has this role been pre-determined as yours?"
Everyone who eats melons wants to get some information from Eve, even the other role competitors also have a heart of gossip.
Who knew that Eve pushed aside the crowd, shrugged and said, "No comment, can you let me live?"
Now that the contract has not been signed, no matter how you answer it, it is easy to fall into the trap of public opinion, so it is better not to say it.
……
Georgia kept Eve's resume, and then threw the rest of the resumes of actors who auditioned for the role of Daisy into the trash can. He said to a staff member in charge of recording next to him: "Go outside and inform, Daisy has been confirmed. , so they can leave. Now go straight to the audition for the role of Georgina."
As a capitalist, what he values most is time and efficiency.
Now that the candidate for Daisy has been finalized, why waste time looking at the following actors.With this skill, it is better to get off work early, and go to the bar to have a drink before going home.
Winona and the others are also very supportive of this decision. Everyone doesn't want to waste time. No matter how those actors complain behind their backs, they will not be moved. This is the reality.
The staff had no choice but to play the villain outside the door, who told him to just run errands.
He looked at the huge group of people, and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to audition for the role of Daisy Langton?"
Brittany raised her hand high, "Yes!"
The other two actresses also squeezed in, thinking it was their turn.
"Me too."
"And I."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it just the three of you? That's okay, you can leave now, there is already a suitable candidate for the role of Daisy. Next, it's Georgina's turn to audition, and the person whose name I read will go in." Is Keri Duvall here?"
A girl with a somewhat burly body came out more and more, "I am."
"Follow me." The staff turned around and prepared to take Kerri in to start the audition.
Brittany hadn't recovered from her surprise, she was eliminated from the audition before she had time to meet the director and producer!
She was unwilling, more uncomfortable than missing the role in "Interview with the Vampire" back then.
Not even given an audition opportunity!
The other two actresses are also full of frustration. Although it is not the first time they have encountered such a thing, they feel the same every time, and they will not feel better because of it.
There is no other way but to leave, is it possible to make a fuss in the audition scene?
That would make it even more impossible to get a role.
You may even be blacklisted by all the major studios and never get any roles again.
After Brittany and the others left, the rest of the actresses discussed in a low voice.They didn't expect the crew to produce results so quickly, so would they become the next Eve?
We still have to have dreams, otherwise this place wouldn't be called Hollywood.
Eve didn't know that the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" accidentally set a target for her in the back, and now she just wanted to tell the good news to her agent.
It was rare for Robert to see Eve showing such emotions, so he asked curiously, "Looking at you like this, you should have done well in the audition?"
"You wait for Columbia's call now. The producer Georgia said that he will call you later to discuss salary, time and treatment issues."
The big rock in Eve's heart finally fell to the ground. She spent too much time and money for this supporting role.
Among the competitors present, no one is more thorough than her. Makeup worth hundreds of dollars is extremely luxurious for a newcomer to the industry.
Robert wowed, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he said in shock: "Are you serious?"
"That's right. They should be very satisfied with me. Julie and Winona are very friendly to help me with the film. The three of us still have a tacit understanding as a partner. Next, we will coordinate the shooting time. I hope that "Death Comes" will be shot on time. After that, it’s best not to have a large-scale reshoot.”
Eve feels that her luck has been really good recently, even though she failed in "X-Men" for the first time, everything after that has been pretty good.
One is to be well prepared, and the other is to choose more reliable ones, and don't go too far to choose commercial blockbusters or films that require high reputation and acting skills.
"Death is Coming" is a work of pure newcomers, and "Soul Shifting Girl" also aims at important supporting roles, both of which are less competitive genres, coupled with the signature of CAA, that's why it is like this now.
Robert looked forward to the car while driving: "You have already acted as the heroine once, and this time the salary will definitely increase. However, considering that the total investment of "Soul Shifting Girl" is only 1500 million US dollars, the salary budget may be very small. Wei Nona herself should get the highest salary, but she has already become a producer, so she must get a dividend in the later stage. It is estimated that she can get 10 US dollars this time, which can be considered enough to feed and clothe you for a year."
Eve was also a little excited when she heard this number, even if her ex-husband Keanu Reeves will become one of the highest-earning actors with the Matrix series, but that has nothing to do with her.
Right now, the $10 is earned by himself, which is of extraordinary significance.
But on the surface it looks like there are 10, but in fact there are only 9 in hand, and then you have to pay taxes, which is actually not too much.
"Just take me back to the hotel, I have to go back and remove my makeup."
"Take a good rest and don't indulge yourself too much. After all, you have to go back to New York to film tomorrow night." Robert knew that she had strong self-control, but he was still worried, so he warned her a few words.
Cars sped by on Mulholland Drive, and the Hollywood Sign on the Santa Monica Hills gleamed in the sun.
……
Eve, who returned to the hotel, was exhausted. The previous scene almost exhausted all her energy.
As soon as she entered the room, she fell directly on the bed, refusing to move, and she didn't even want to eat lunch.
The scenes with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie must always maintain a high degree of concentration, otherwise they will not be able to catch the other party's scenes.
To be able to share equal shares with them, on the one hand, it is to occupy the advantage of the role, and on the other hand, it is the intention to win the unintentional.I have already practiced the relevant clips in the hotel many times, and the two of them just played on the spot, so they were not inferior to Eve, which shows how solid their acting skills are.
"Filming with such a good-looking and acting person, I think the acting skills will improve a lot. I really hope to start filming soon!"
She lay down for half an hour before recovering, and then she changed into a bathrobe and went to the bathroom to take a bath to wash off the makeup residue on her body.
A hundred-mile walker is half ninety, and the closer it is to the last moment, the easier it is to change his mind.
Eve really wanted to sign the contract, so as not to have long nights and dreams. If something changed, it would be a disaster if someone cut her off halfway!
Her stomach was growling, and she happened to be unable to read any scripts, so she changed into a simple outfit and went out to look for food. By the way, she visited the city of Los Angeles.
It's been so long since I've traveled here, but Eve hasn't stopped to savor the city, especially Chinatown.
She walked all the way to Chinatown along the signs, and the familiar Chinese red and plaques gave her a very friendly feeling.
It's just that these places look familiar and unfamiliar, obviously the buildings are antique and lanterns can be seen everywhere, but the Cantonese and Hokkien spoken by people make her unable to understand at all.
Eve silently wrote down the location of the Chinese supermarket, and when she is not filming, she can go to the Chinese supermarket to buy some special seasonings or raw materials. Now she is going to go to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant to treat her stomach.
When you have a big event like a successful audition, you have to celebrate it.
Although she can't speak Cantonese, Eve's ability to recognize traditional characters is still very strong, and she quickly locked on a restaurant called Zhenbaozhai, which looked quite quaintly decorated.
Perhaps because she looks like a foreigner, the waiter introduced various morning tea snacks to her in fluent English. The bilingual menu in Chinese and English finally made Eve understand the meaning of those dishes, otherwise she would not understand at all .
Decided to indulge for a day long ago, Eve ordered shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet, rice rolls, barbecued pork buns, and crab powder siu mai. She was obviously greedy for the rest of the snacks, but she really didn't dare to order too much. It's shameful to waste.
These snacks came out quickly, and Eve picked up the chopsticks under the surprised gaze of the waiter, picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling in the most standard way, and took a bite happily.
In her previous life, she was not from Guangdong and Guangxi, but she still had many authentic and unauthentic morning teas, and ate nutrition and fat-reducing meals for so many days in a row, so she didn't care about her image at all.
Just two bites to finish a shrimp dumpling, cool!
Just as she was bowing her head and spitting out chicken feet bones, two Chinese at the next table were communicating in Chinese.
The younger man had a Sichuan-Shu accent, and he said, "Third Brother, what work do you do recently? A few days ago, Mr. Yuan took the big guys back to China to film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I just missed it."
The middle-aged man who was drinking tea suddenly laughed, "Tiger, there is such a job, it depends on whether you take it or not."
"What job?"
"When you were in Australia, didn't you work as a kung fu teacher for Keanu Reeves? I recently picked up a crew in Columbia called "Charlie's Angels". They have never been exposed to action scenes, you can come and train them to make sure they can successfully complete the filming."
"Thank you third brother, I'll take this job!" The young man was very forthright. It is difficult for Chinese people to find a job in Hollywood. If they have the opportunity to work for a large studio, it is basically a good resume. He didn't even ask which actors.
