Chapter 351 Love and Marriage

The Park Hyatt Hotel is the filming location of this movie. Sofia Coppola did not forget to pull the banner of the two leading actors, and got the sponsorship fee from the Park Hyatt Hotel.

Not only did I not pay for the shooting of the scene, but I also got the cooperation of the hotel, and I was able to shoot on-site in restaurants, bars, corridors, elevators and other places.

The staff of the crew also lived in this hotel, and the accommodation fee was given a huge discount.

Quite a lot of plots in "Lost in Translation" took place in the hotel, so it is very important to get support from the venue.

If Sophia came by herself, it would be difficult to get sponsorship.But after dragging out Eve and Bill Murray, the two Hollywood frontlines, all problems were solved!

Even in Japan, Eve's popularity cannot be underestimated. Her two films last year were considered small explosions in Japan. At the same time, her appearance is also the type that Japanese audiences like, so her popularity is very high.

Eve stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling Tokyo, and even a little outline of Mount Fuji could be seen in the distance. The scenery is very good.

Now she has begun to enter the role, put aside everything in real life, and let herself be the lonely stranger Charlotte in "Lost in Translation".

Before the filming officially started, Sophia had no intention of arranging a meeting between the male and female protagonists. She felt that the main reason why the film is moving is a light atmosphere.What I want is for two strangers to meet at night in Tokyo. If they are acquaintances, it is difficult to act out the feeling.

Because of this, Eve didn't emphasize going to play against the leading actor, and the whole crew didn't have script study sessions.

She is now sitting alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking for feelings, and puts the rest of the things behind her.

Unknowingly, dusk fell, and the whole city was lit up. The neon country really lived up to its reputation, and the night was very beautiful. It's a pity that I couldn't read those katakana.

Occasionally, she would see a few hiragana characters that were exactly the same as Chinese characters, which brought her a vague sense of familiarity.

Eve got up and went to the bathroom. After putting on some lipstick for herself, she took out the room card and put it in her bag, and went to the hotel restaurant to meet Sofia.

There are special staff in the elevator who are responsible for pressing floors. There are not many people taking the elevator at this time, so she enjoyed the service of a private elevator.

Sophia, who was sitting by the window, was drinking red wine in a goblet. Just when she looked up, she saw Eve standing at the door of the restaurant, looking around in a daze.The girl was wearing a long dress with suspenders, her blond hair was draped meekly behind her, and her eyes were a little dazed.

This scene made her very excited instantly, and she must include this scene in the movie tomorrow!

Obviously, the storyboard script has been drawn, but Sophia feels that she can change it later, and shoot romantic and blurred feelings from a more emotional state.

"Lost in Translation" is a movie about loneliness and confusion. The overall tone will not be too bright, nor will it be very energetic, but there will be a slight sense of alienation.

Sophia is now looking at that person from the perspective of the director and the actor, and she wants Eve to maintain the sense of alienation in her body.The heroine Charlotte in the story is such a person who can't see the future in a foreign country, can't see the prospect of life, and has no fun.

Standing among a group of Japanese, it can be clearly seen that Eve is protective, unwilling to chat with others in detail, and wraps herself in a cold and hard shell.

All Sophia's thoughts were actually only for a moment, she stood up immediately, her tall and straight figure and proud height made her stand out in the restaurant.The white man itself is a big skeleton, and she is even more so.

After seeing the director, Eve immediately smiled and thanked the waiter, and then walked towards the table by the window.

"We finally met. You seem to be in very good condition." Sophia praised in a low voice.

The two pressed their faces together, and Eve sat on the chair under the service of the waiter, and then replied, "I hope I can reach the point where you are satisfied."

"The moment you came into the restaurant to look for me just now, I completely felt that you were Charlotte in the story."

"I'm looking for the feeling of filming, and it seems to have some effect."

Sophia raised her glass and replied: "It's true that you are cast as Charlotte. I wish us all the best for this shoot."

"cheers!"

Eve said boldly, but her glass was not champagne, but mint sparkling water.

The two chatted while eating, and finally came to the concept of marriage before they knew it. After all, the movie "Lost in Translation" was actually created because of the marriage problems of the male and female protagonists.

The whole movie is very unique, both witty and humorous moments, but also realistic parts.The leading actor, Bob Harris, is a typical midlife crisis. He is a former Hollywood movie star, his career has begun to decline, and his married life has no consolation.

Love has been worn out in marriage for a long time, and the call from his wife in the middle of the night turned out to be about house renovation.After having children, life is even less exciting.I often can't sleep in the middle of the night, sitting alone on the hotel bed in a daze, tired of the boring life.

Unlike this person who has been married for many years, the heroine Charlotte has only been married for two years.It stands to reason that it is not the time to worry about marriage, it should be the time to enjoy happiness and sweetness, but it seems to have entered the grave.

Charlotte doesn't have any job, but just stays with her photographer husband in Tokyo. Fear of the surrounding environment, worries about her husband's boredom, and confusion about the future keep her awake at night.

A marriage of less than two years is as suffocating as a marriage of more than 20 years. Both the male and female protagonists are members of the marriage siege.

In the case of the same illness, it is normal to attract each other and feel each other's mood, and even gradually developed from friendship to love.

Sophia wiped the oil from the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and asked earnestly, "What do you think of marriage?"

"Get married naturally when you love deeply. If you don't love after marriage, then get a divorce." Eve said simply, she didn't want to force herself. It is torture.

This is really her heartfelt statement. After the love disappears, there may only be family affection left, but she will not endure it, but will choose to let go.

In fact, she has a completely different personality from Charlotte in the movie. Charlotte doesn't have her own job, so she doesn't have any colleagues and friends, so she is confused and spends her days like years.Obviously the marriage has hit the rocks, but they are still unwilling to abandon ship.

Sophia didn't expect Eve to be so decisive. She joked, "If this happens to you and Keanu after you get married, will you divorce without hesitation?"

"It may be exaggerated without hesitation. I will definitely try to communicate to see if there is no love, or if there is love but neglect to express and pass it on. If there is really no way to stay together, then divorce is also normal."

Now that she is only engaged, she has already thought about the future.

"I hope love will last forever. Maybe there will be an answer after this movie is finished." Sophia's eyes showed a trace of fatigue. She is actually the character prototype of the heroine Charlotte in the movie. Looking at Eve who is in high spirits in front of her A little envious, hoping to be as free and easy as him.

Eve picked up the glass and touched her, "No matter what, we should treat ourselves better."

In fact, Eve knows a little bit of gossip. Sophia is now married. Her husband is Spike Jones, the director of "Puppet Life", but it is not good for two people to get together less and separate more.

It's just that when the relationship between the two is not close enough to talk about these things, it's not easy for Eve to make any judgments on other people's married life.

After eating, the two sat together in front of the glass curtain wall of the building and looked into the distance, feeling the prosperity of the big city.

……

Early the next morning, Assistant Mandy knocked on the door and dragged Eve out of bed.

"Miss Campbell, today's filming is about to start, don't you want to be late?"

When Eve set the alarm clock last night, she didn't respond to the jet lag, which caused her to sleep until eight o'clock in the morning.If Mandy hadn't noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid he would have left a bad impression on the entire crew of "Lost in Translation".

Bill Murray actually started filming a few days ago, but they were all filming his solo scenes, such as driving all the way from the Tokyo airport to the hotel, tossing and turning alone in the hotel room, and shooting commercials, etc.

Today, Eve will play against him for the first time during the night scene, but during the day, she still has her own one-man show, walking alone on the streets of Tokyo.

Others are well-known big names, but I just got the Oscar and broke out that I am playing big names and being late, obviously I am not qualified.

Originally, Eve planned to go to the bed for a while after opening the door, but now she immediately rushed to the bathroom and began to brush her teeth and wash up: "Mandy, can you order me a hotel breakfast? Send it directly to the shooting room downstairs, and I will put on makeup later." time to eat."

"No problem, I'll call now."

Eve scratched her hair. She didn't waste time putting makeup on herself, and she didn't even apply skin care products. She just grabbed a set of light clothes and put them on. Anyway, she will change later.

If it wasn't for the sake of image, she even planned to go downstairs in a bathrobe, which would be more convenient and quicker to change costumes.

A few minutes later, Eve and Mandy came to the elevator entrance and took the elevator to the 28th floor, where the crew rented two rooms for filming.

Almost all crew members are already in place. Sofia is directing the staff to set the scene with her ponytail tied. When she saw Eve come in, she hugged her and said, "We'll wait for the first scene to be filmed. You wake up in bed and call to urge Let the husband go to work, you just have to say goodbye to him."

"Understood, I'm going to make up now."

When you just wake up, you need to put on light makeup, which looks more fresh and natural, and what you want is to amaze the audience!
