[US Entertainment] Best Director

"What are you talking about?" Woodrow froze for a moment.

What Prairis had just said to him was... a rare opportunity?

For Woodlow, being the cinematographer in Pryris' new movie is already the proudest opportunity in his life. If there is any opportunity to be prouder than this one--

"you?"

"I want to invite you to come to my company to direct a movie." Before Woodrow finished speaking, Prairis said ahead of time.

Woodrow opened his mouth in disbelief. Although he had this premonition just now, he still couldn't imagine that Prairis would really invite him to work—or the position of director.

"I...are you sure?" Woodrow finally said.

"Pretty sure, but—" Prairist paused.

Woodrow's thoughts rose and fell with Prairice's words.

He held the phone stiffly, waiting for the response from the other side, with sweat on his forehead, as if he was waiting for a trial to come down.

Simply, this unilateral game succeeded.

Prairis on the other end of the phone said, "But it will take some time, at least until the filming of "Elgar Rhapsody" is finished-by the way, the new company does not have a suitable script, but I think your graduation work is good, maybe you Willing to make it into a movie?"

Woodlow was so pleasantly surprised, he had wanted to try this for a long time-in fact, his graduation work was originally a feature-length film, but it was changed to a short film for his graduation work, and now, Prairis is willing to give him a chance It's incredible to film this story in its entirety.

Woodrow readily agreed to Prairith's invitation.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Prairie gave Woodrow two months to write the script in his spare time, hung up the phone, and started the next revision of the storyboard script.

This is a biographical film, with characters as the main outline. Prairis tried his best to use various shots to fully describe Jacqueline's appearance, including overhead shots, side shots, and side shots... …

The storyboards are written by the director of photography. He is a senior photographer of French literary and artistic films, and he knows what Prairie wants to shoot, so what he depicts in the storyboard script is the same as that of Prairie.

After a simple modification, Prairis sent the storyboard to several cameramen.

It was eight o'clock at night at this time, and since the movie was being filmed in the UK and the actors were all foreign actors, Prairis didn't have to follow the rules of the Hollywood actors' union.

All-weather shooting, shortening the shooting cycle as much as possible, this is the kingly way of low-cost literary films.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Preris started filming again.

This time, Keira Knightley played Jacqueline, and Adjani explained the role to Keira before the filming started.

Perhaps because of the same troubles, Adjani always understands deeper than Kaila, and she analyzes everything.

"Are you ready?" Prairie asked.

Kayla nodded.

Prairis sat down in front of the monitor.

This scene at night is also playing the violin.

The only difference from the scene in the morning is that Saoirse's piano skills in the morning are still a little raw, while Keira's should be mature, but maybe not.

At this time, Jacqueline already knew that some bad changes had taken place in her body, and her hands suddenly became inexplicably stiff. It was still Volga, and she was pulling mesmerizingly, but at the moment of orgasm—— Her bow fell to the ground.

The music stopped abruptly, the picture stopped suddenly, fingers drooping unnaturally, lips slightly parted, panting, Jacqueline looked at her hands and the bow that fell at her feet.

At that moment, everyone held their breath and stared at Kayla, and everyone was thinking-she played a great role, if the whole movie was made to maintain this level, she might get A statuette.

After one scene, the cast and crew stopped moving, and everyone was waiting for Prairis's words.

But Prairius never said anything.

One second, two seconds......

A minute later, Prairis shook his head.

Keira performed it again, as if she had found a feeling, and the artistic atmosphere of literature and art became more and more intense, but Prairis still shook her head.

At this time, everyone looked at Prairis a little strangely.

Kayla's performance is obviously better than that of Saoirse in the morning, but Saoirse can pass at one time, why can't Kayla?And in terms of the current situation, Keira played very well, as if Prairis was deliberately criticizing. Could it be that there is some conflict between the director and the heroine?

Just as he was thinking, Prairis ordered a reshoot.

The third time, the fourth time......

until the fifth time.

Prairie stood up and said, "Everyone rest for a while."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, it means not passing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Prairis waved to Keira, and Kayla walked towards Prairis.

"I think you're missing something." Praris said bluntly.

"What is it?" Kayla asked.

She is already trying her best to be the most perfect for her, she doesn't know what needs to be changed.

Prairie thought for a while, but didn't know what to say.

He simply turned on the monitor and played her performance to Keira again.

Kayla, who watched the video just now, still looked at Prairis with a confused face.

Prairis frowned and explained, "You are too mature, I hope you can be like—"

She elongated her tone, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of a suitable adjective. The artist's performance form was an abstract thing, and she couldn't describe it concretely.

Simply changed the subject.

"Have you ever heard of Death Waltz?"

"Cello music?"

"Cello music."

"No." Kayla replied.

"Then go back and listen to it, and you will understand what I mean after listening."

Finally, Pryreth added, "Forget Yo-Yo Ma, you're just Jacqueline from now on."

After saying that, Prairis ended the filming early.

After returning to the hotel, Keira searched for "DeathWaltz". Unlike her original imagination, this song does not have a fixed score, or no one can accurately pull out the fixed score. The music circulating on the Internet is simplified later version.

After thinking for a long time, Keira clicked on Uldum Hearst's cello version.

Almost as soon as the cello appeared, Keira was conquered.

She couldn't describe what kind of voice she heard——

It's like a dark brown ruler slowly passing across the strings, rough but elegant, with fatal sadness and despair.

Keira suddenly thought of Jacqueline, and realized for the first time what the cello meant to Jacqueline.

Touching the strings of the cello beside her with her hands, Keira suddenly felt that perhaps it would be a good experience to transform herself into Jacqueline.

The next day, on set.

Same thing with Keira.

From Kayla's first step on the set, everyone noticed her change.

Her temperament seems to have changed. Although the original Keira was also classical and melancholy, at this moment, Keira seems to have been completely reborn.

She became another person, another style.

Classical and restrained, blue eyes are like clouds.

The moment she lowered her head to play the piano, she pursed her slightly parted lips.

The cello is like her only point of emotional expression, she seems to want to pour out this raging emotion in an instant, but this emotion is too strong, as if she is about to burst out in the next instant. Break the string.

Turbulent and forbearing, uncontrollable sorrow and fiery emotion.

Change is instantaneous.

At this time, even the staff who had slandered Prairis for being strict yesterday had to admit that what Prairis said was always right, she did bring out a better Kayla.

Keira's performance is surging, but the effect is not very good, but this does not affect the shooting, because Preris will replace all the music played by Keira with Jacqueline's original soundtrack in the later stage.

The bow fell to the ground.

The music stopped abruptly.

The crisp landing sound seemed to symbolize the shattering of something.

The camera moves through the bow falling on the ground, the slightly parted lips, and Jacqueline's pale face in sequence, and finally settles in the dark and silent room.

The sound engineer placed the recording instrument beside Keira.

Prairis finally nodded as he listened to the longer gasps in the headset than yesterday.

Everyone applauded for Keira Knightley, who just gave her superb acting skills.

"Your performance today is worthy of a Caesar Award." Adjani said, who was waiting to be filmed.

After a good start, everything seemed to start to go smoothly.

Keira found the feeling, and the Jacqueline played by her was full of charming temperament all over her body.

Of course, this kind of charming does not refer to the charming appearance in the traditional sense, but the temperament, the kind of shy and introverted but full of enthusiasm that ordinary people can't match in some places.

It's like a blue flame, burning inadvertently.

At the end of May, the shooting ended.

Woodlow also handed over the revised script, which tends to be Japanese-style literature and art, and is a low-cost campus movie.

After seeing it, Prairius invested $80 on behalf of "NEWWA/VE" to Woodlow, and gave Woodlow Arnold's phone number and asked him to fly to Los Angeles to discuss the details of his movie. After that, Prairius began to process the film post-editing.

In addition to sound editing, Prairis will be in charge of all post-production operations of the film, which can save a lot of money and retain the ideas and inspiration points of his creation to the greatest extent.

Different from the enthusiasm when it was first filmed, "Volga Rhapsody" that has entered the post-editing stage seems to have been forgotten, and there are few topics on the Internet, and only some musicians are still paying attention.

Prairie didn't express any thoughts about this, not even the idea of ​​announcing it.

She hoped that the first wave of people to see the film would be real fans of Jacqueline's music.

So, at the end of July, a biographical film called "Volga Rhapsody" was quietly released in Europe...and the director of this film is - "David Dorff"?
