MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 201 is it possible……
Don't mention Sean's troubles, nor the public relations of the awards season, but still focus on the shooting of "The Artist". Although the previous scheduled start time was mid-December, because of some willingness, it finally officially started before the release of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", that is, before Christmas.
Therefore, I took two days off before shooting, first the Christmas holiday, then the New Year's holiday, and it was only one week later in January before restarting.
But it didn't take much time. As I said before, this movie is very easy to shoot, no lines, no color, the focus is only on the performance of the actors and... the soundtrack.
Yes, nostalgia alone is not enough to attract audiences today, which has been influenced by various movies. But this is a silent film, with no dialogue and lines, it can impress the audience and convey the emotions of the characters, and there are not many means available.
In addition to the actors' physical performances and facial expressions, they also need some small details that make people shine, such as the director's proposal to add a puppy, the rest is only the soundtrack.
So Hazanavicius recommended his old partner Lucevedo Bruce. They have worked together many times and are familiar with each other's habits. Although they are in their 30s, they do have some strength .
"He can add a splendid color to the film with music," says Hazanavicius.
Substitution, Weinstein has several alternatives in his hands.
"You stand on both sides, just take a short section across the baffle, it doesn't need to be complicated, a few simple actions are enough. It is obviously more interesting for the male and female protagonists to meet formally in this situation. , and also set the stage for the final tap dance." Standing in the middle of the studio, Hazanavicius in a simple dress said for Sean and Naomi.
"No problem, let's do it once." Sean raised his hands to show that he understood.
Hazzanavicius immediately looked at Naomi, who nodded, "I see."
The male protagonist was photographed by reporters on both sides and published in the newspaper, which also triggered a family crisis for the male protagonist.
Then, when the male protagonist wanted to shoot a new movie, and cast a role for it, and the heroine who longed to be an actor participated in the casting, so he met the male protagonist in the studio, and a subtle incident occurred. chemical reaction.
This plot is not described in detail in the script. This kind of thing is normal. It is impossible for the script to write all the details. How to shoot depends on the director's performance. Therefore, it is very important to have a director who has ideas and is good at communicating, who can show the pictures in his mind and let all departments cooperate with each other.
Scenes.
Because the heroine is only a small supporting role, there is no fixed dressing room, and they are all built with baffles. The male protagonist and the director discussed the dance and wanted to remove some baffles to make the venue wider, but did not notice that there was a dressing room behind.
The heroine did not expect that there were people outside, so she practiced a short tap dance behind the baffle, so the worker lifted the baffle to reveal her dancing feet. The male protagonist suddenly became interested, and followed her for a while after she finished dancing. After the female protagonist was provoked over there, she came back for a while, and the male protagonist immediately followed until the producer came over.
The producer was very angry about this, but he couldn't lose his temper with the male lead, so he poured his anger on the heroine who played the minor supporting role and told her to get out. Of course, the male protagonist stood up to stop his behavior, and did not care about the trouble the female protagonist had caused him on the red carpet before, allowing her to stay, which could be regarded as paving the way for the relationship between the two.
It sounds complicated, but the actual shooting is still very simple, the biggest difficulty is just a few tap dances, and whether Sean or Naomi, even if they have not yet reached the standard of the last one , but it's still easy to deal with here.
"You've practiced well lately, Sean." Naomi joked like this when she was resting.
"Of course," Sean answered first, then slapped her buttocks in response, "We practice together every day, you don't know how far I am?"
"Aren't you worried about being seen?" Naomi gave him a sideways glance, but with a charming look.
Then, she immediately made a sudden look: "By the way, I forgot, you already have arrangements, don't you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at a corner of the studio lounge, where a woman with a plump figure and red hair sat reading the script, Christina, who was about to play the leading man’s wife in the movie Hendricks.
"It seems that after I go back tonight, I will study this issue with you." Sean said and tried to fight again, but unfortunately Naomi dodged gently and quickly left him. Beside him, it looks like he wants to keep a distance from him.
Sean shook his head, then looked at Christina Hendricks in the distance, who noticed his gaze and raised his head, gave him a wink without concealment, really A wild woman.
In the beginning, he didn't want to ask Christina to play a role in "The Artist", he just mentioned it casually after meeting her at the party, there were many people at that time. Unexpectedly, this woman would come to her door soon, even if Sean told her that the movie would not have much box office, and that the character had not many scenes, he didn't care.
"I just want to work with you, Sean," said the **** redhead.
So, looking at her stalwart's sake - I have to say, it's very satisfying - Sean agreed to her request, and then smiled again, if the time comes with her If there is a scandal, the pressure on Naomi will be relieved a lot, so I occasionally flirt with her during the shooting days.
These are all Naomi's eyes, but she didn't say much. The two have been practicing tap dancing together. These things have been mentioned to some extent, and she understands them. Besides, it's not that she doesn't know what kind of person Sean is, so even if she is dissatisfied, she can only provocatively say a few words occasionally.
I have to say that whenever she looks like this, she is really cute. Such Naomi is attractive. Although the previous one was not bad, it was a little dull.
Of course, Sean will definitely consider her mood and feelings, so although he flirted with Christina on the set, he never went to a hidden corner with her to make out, even though the other party hinted many times.
However, in addition to Christina, there is also a girl related to Sean who also has a role in this movie, that is, Abby Cornish, an Australian girl who is very similar to Nicole.
She didn't come voluntarily like Christina, Sean asked her to come, after all, her role is less than Christina, with the image of Pepper in "Iron Man" After becoming popular, she played the heroine in a well-received independent film. Even if the latter's grades are not good, her role is very mediocre, but a dispensable supporting role like the heroine's friend in "The Artist" has absolutely no need to participate.
But Abby still came, very obedient, which made Sean very satisfied. The reason why she was called was to see if she was obedient. At present, she still knows what she should do, but it also has Nicole's credit.
Because of what Sean said to Nicole at the beginning, she looked at Abby in a different way. She has promoted Abby several times over the past year. Abby's "Little Nicole Kidman" title So it spread like wildfire and gained people's recognition.
So Sean was quite obsessed in his heart, although considering that Nicole and Naomi are best friends, they can't make out with them in bed, but will have Nicole with a similar face. It seems to be very fulfilling to get up with Abby. If Abby can learn from Nicole in all aspects, it will be even better.
Well, that's all for the future, let's get the movie and other things done for now.
In addition to filming, it is naturally public relations. Since Sean said before that it is necessary to have public relations and public relations, then he must run around like last year.
But don't worry, when calculating the shooting cycle, I tried to make it as long as possible. After the actual shooting, it is estimated that it will take at most 6 weeks to complete, so the time is enough, Sean It is also safe to attend various PR parties and gatherings.
Well, even if Sean won Best Actor in a Drama Series last year, he will definitely not give it again this year. David Fincher is not liked by the Press Association, so he missed out on Best Director and Best Drama Film, but he won a screenwriting award. At least it's fine, right?
So after the results came out, many media were surprised and thought that the Golden Globe Awards were unfair, but this is a commonplace thing. The Golden Globe Awards are like the Oscars, and it will not change anything.
In this way, in addition to the previous major Film Critics Association awards, Sean did not get a single one, and the prospects did not look very good, and then the Oscar nominations were finally announced.
A full 13 nominations make "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" again, best film, best director, best actor and so on, especially best actor, let Sean take a look Was pushed to the cusp.
Everyone knows that his performance in "Milk" last year was so good that he is fully qualified to win a trophy, but Oscar would rather give Lewis a second statue than encourage this A talented young man, so much so that the media later criticized him, believing that the film school owed him something.
Now, he has appeared on the nomination list again, and the number of people participating in the competition is not very strong, so is it possible to get compensation this year?
