super actress

This is the first time Rhea has taken a role so seriously.

It's not that she doesn't value her other roles, as long as Rhea takes over, she will take every role seriously, regardless of the length of the play, whether the script is good or bad.

Even if she had made bad commercial movies for the sake of making money and paying back favors, Rhea made it with the idea of ​​playing her nonsensical role in a reasonable way.

After coming to this world, Rhea played two roles in total, one is Lolita and the other is Juliet.

The character of Lolita is very full, her life experience has shaped her character, and her character determines her fate, as for Juliet, it is even more classic, the heroine created by Shakespeare, although the director changed the background of the story to In modern times, Juliet still retains Shakespeare's romantic elements.

In every role, Rhea hopes that she can perform perfectly. She doesn't want to act like Lolita, and she doesn't want to act like Juliet. She wants to play Lolita and Juliet.

Therefore, Ruth in "Titanic" has become Rhea's biggest problem.

Because she felt that she was not Ruth.

In Rhea's impression, Ruth is Kate Winslet and Jack is Leonardo DiCaprio.

This is the first difficulty she encountered, and the second problem is that Rhea has special emotions for this role.

Although "Titanic" was not the first movie she had seen, nor was it the enlightenment film that prompted her to want to become an actor, but the role of Ruth was the test question selected by Rhea's acting class that year.

Her teacher is also a loyal fan of "Titanic". Almost all teaching cases are found in this movie first, so Rhea's exam became the most difficult in the class.

In order to pass the exam, she read the movie over and over until she could memorize it. When Rhea finally passed the exam, she felt that she was going to be dazed.

And the current audition means she has to do it again.

This time the difficulty factor is even more terrifying. The examiner is no longer a teacher from the film school, but directly replaced by James Cameron, the director of "Titanic". The competitor is not her classmate, but Ruth Kate Winslet.

For Rhea, there is nothing more terrifying at this stage.

But this foreseeable disaster still didn't overwhelm Rhea's excitement and joy. She was so happy that she overwhelmed her fear and tension instead.

At this stage, everyone in Hollywood knows that James Cameron and Fox have a big project, but the only person who really has 100% confidence in this movie is Rhea, and she believes it even more than Cameron himself His work can do wonders.

Because she actually saw it.

Even if the time is adjusted to ten years later, "Titanic" will still be the number one box office in the world, until Cameron surpasses the history he has created with another "Avatar".

The dire box office numbers were an achievement for "Titanic" that propelled the movie into legend, but it wasn't just a global hit that made the film a classic.

When the luxurious cruise ship sank, people's struggles and choices at the critical moment of life and death conveyed the brilliance of humanity. The love between Ruth and Jack across classes is the main drama of the movie, but that is only one of the scenes on Titanic. A piece of life.

This is a real disaster.

In 1912, when the huge ship was shipwrecked, almost all the men chose to give up the hope of escape to the women and children, but the wives and children were unwilling to leave their husbands and fathers. They would rather die together than survive by themselves.

The facts told by those survivors are moving, and the history recorded in those memoirs is also regrettable. "Titanic" also restored those pictures.

So Rhea is nervous, she is afraid that her unstable mentality will affect her performance, and this kind of prediction may drag her down, because she is too clear about the future achievements of "Titanic", so she can't use a pure actor's emotion to express acting role.

Even when reading the script, Rhea was under pressure.

It is not a complete script, nor is it the final script, because there are many places that are different from what Rhea remembers, but the general plot and characters are still fixed. Rhea can imagine what Ruth looks like, but she cannot be Kate Winslet's version of Ruth, she has to become the Ruth she understands.

"What kind of Ruth do you want?"

Meyer Finn is also asking James Cameron, he is the casting director of this movie. After participating in the production of this movie, all the people he interviewed are famous stars, no representative works, no Popular actors are not even given the chance to audition for roles.

This is a James Cameron movie!

And the trouble is, this is a James Cameron movie!

The director's return on investment is high, but his studio control is also out of control

Famously, this large investment project has attracted countless actors, but Cameron is still selecting, and the [-]th Century Fox Film Company, which is the investor, has been impatient with waiting.

They also have to see at least one major player singled out.

Under this pressure, Jon Landau selected Rhea Noren from Fox's own film library to deal with the high-level questioning. Compared with the male lead, it is easier to choose the female lead, after all, the gender ratio in Hollywood There, so he wanted to pick out Ruth first.

And Jon knows that Rhea has a good relationship with the newly promoted Julie Anchar. This choice is a balanced choice he made between Cameron and Fox.

Cameron just rejected the actor recommended by Fox not long ago, so this time he still gave Fox face and agreed to audition Rhea Nolen recommended by Jon Landau. Cameron also knows her. Rita has been a whirlwind in Hollywood.

With the Academy Award plus the audition footage for "Romeo and Juliet," James Cameron has no reason to reject her audition.

She proved her acting skills in "Lolita", and Juliet showed that she can not only play a certain type of role, so Cameron did not refuse.

In fact, Cameron himself is also troubled. He has auditioned for Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes and Gabrielle Anwar, but not for various reasons. Cameron himself was not satisfied with the film audition.

"An Audrey Hepburn character."

This is Cameron's description of the Ruth he wants to find. This generalization is much more specific than the previous "noble, brave, and strong", which made casting director Meyer Finn recommend Kate Winslet. He felt that Kate fit that description very well.

Kate has participated in many historical movies. She is very classically beautiful, and the British style makes her look more elegant. Moreover, she also got an Otti this year, and she has a smooth development in Hollywood.

But this is a disadvantage for Cameron. He doesn't like the title of "Corset Kate". He thinks putting Kate Winslet in a corset again is a lazy and uncreative choice, Cameron think To try new styles.

He wanted a new and unexpected Ruth.

But in the end Cameron still auditioned Kate Winslet, and she used her character understanding notes in exchange for an audition opportunity.

when she flew from england to hollywood

Come, Cameron filmed an audition video for her.

Casting director Mel Finn watched Kate's audition with him, and he felt that Kate was the Ruth Cameron described to him, "Is there anything you don't like, I think she is yours." Ruth!"

After seeing Kate's performance, Mel Finn was completely convinced, but Cameron continued to choose actors to audition for the role of Ruth, and he also auditioned candidates recommended by producer Jon Landau.

Finn knew that Cameron was still choosing. He doubted that Cameron would not make up his mind until he had seen all the suitable actresses in Hollywood. The big director wanted too much to make the movie well. Cameron fully showed his nitpicking when he made the ship in the movie.

If Cameron has to study for a long time even a detail that the audience will not pay attention to, then he will only be more troublesome when dealing with his leading actor.

A role that has not been settled for a long time can reflect many problems.

Rhea Nolen was not on the list before, just because she was not qualified enough, and now she has an Oscar, so she was spotted by Cameron, and as soon as Jon Landau recommended, he pushed the boat I agreed.

It was under such circumstances that Rhea came to Fox's set. The "Titanic" crew built a model of the ship in the shed specially vacated by Fox for them.

This gave Rhea a wonderful feeling of touching history as soon as she walked into the set. She really felt that she was experiencing a legend.

Malloy laughed at her when he brought her over: "You look a little nervous."

"Aren't you nervous?" Rhea asked him back: "This is just a normal physiological reaction, and there is nothing strange about it."

Malloy, who had swapped out his entire suit for a more expensive brand, looked more presentable, not at all the rookie agent Rhea had seen long ago, and Rhea knew he had changed offices and had his own assistant.

"I'm going to be nervous, but I didn't know you would be nervous. I thought you wouldn't change your face even if the sky fell." Malloy teased her, also trying to ease Rhea's emotions, "Think of the good , at least you can meet your idol, maybe Cameron will give you an autograph."

Malloy has confidence in Rhea, which is the main reason for his relatively peaceful attitude.

But in fact, everyone from Jon Landau to Mel Finn has little confidence in the Academy Award winner who came to audition for Ruth. This lack of confidence is not only because of

Because of her Lolita left a deep impression on people, but also because of director Cameron's capriciousness.

This time she auditioned alone. Before Rhea, James Cameron had seen countless Ruths, and he had even auditioned for Kate Winslet. This news also made Rhea feel great pressure.

And after Rhea, Cameron would still go on to audition for some Ruth.

After getting to know the person, Rhea was taken to try out the role in a pocket historical set hastily built by the crew, which was much friendlier than the previous blank audition. Cameron set the scene and atmosphere for the actors, although he probably just wanted to Let yourself see the effect of the picture with your own eyes.

Cameron even asked Rhea to change into a more classic costume, but it wasn't anything Rhea had seen in the movie, just a plain old-fashioned dress.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Cameron signaled: "You can start acting."

He doesn't like nonsense, so neither Malloy nor Rhea have a close relationship with him, and the director is obviously not late.

The script that Rhea got had lines, but Cameron chose a plot without lines for her to act, so she could only act according to what he thought, because the script given out was used to help the actors The one who understands the characters is not necessarily the last version used for filming.

Taking an indistinct deep breath, Rhea complied with the emotions she had repeatedly immersed in this week and became the Ruth she imagined.

Little by little, she peeled off Rhea's personality and replaced it with Ruth in her mind.

When she changed her look and body posture, everyone knew she was acting.

Of course, Rhea is different from Kate Winslet. She has a thin body and is shorter than Kate. Her face is narrow and delicate, and she does not have Kate's plump femininity and British classical charm, but Rhea has With her own unique temperament, when she puts on clothes in the style of the 20s, she can transform herself into a person in the 20s.

She can't learn Kate Winslet, and she can't completely become Kate if she learns. If she imitates Kate, she will only be defeated by Kate herself.

So Rhea decided to use her understanding of "Titanic" and combined with the final image of Ruth in the movie, she will act in her own way.

After Cameron spoke, Rhea adjusted the state of her whole body. She had played Romeo and Juliet. Rhea knew what the classical aristocratic atmosphere was like, but Ruth was different from them. Ruth had

It has Shakespeare's romantic feelings, but also has a modern adventurous and rebellious spirit.

This is the characteristic given to Ruth by the characteristics of the times, and it is also the highlight of the storyline of "Titanic".

Ruth is more mature than Juliet. Although she is also of noble birth, her family has declined after her father's death. She will be forced to grow up and marry a man she doesn't like for her family.

What is commendable is that in the 20s when all women had to be bound by traditional ethics, she still had her own independent thinking.

So when Rhea looked up again in front of the camera, exuding an unbelievably poised and majestic aura, both Mel Finn and Jon Landau were taken aback by what they had just seen A taciturn and beautiful girl, perhaps because she was nervous, she was a little too restrained.

However, once she got into acting mode, she performed extremely well and became a completely different person.

When she stood in front of the set without saying a word, people could also believe that her background must be extraordinary. Cameron didn't let her say the next lines, and Rhea didn't say it. She just conveyed emotions through changes in her demeanor.

She frowned slightly, and her elegant and calm face could reveal natural fragility and heart-pounding compassion. When the "noble mask" was cracked with a tiny crack, this broken perfection became even more charming.

Ruth, who was carefully carved by the family, should be a perfect statue. Her yearning and dreams for freedom are shortcomings that should not exist. She should sacrifice for the family and marry a well-matched rich man.

This was what everyone told her, and they even made her look happy that she was about to have a lot of money and wealth.

But what she thinks in her heart is completely another matter. She wants her mother to listen to her heart. She wants to do what she likes, but no one cares what she really thinks. Her fiancé is willing to spend money to please her. Also unwilling to really consider Ruth's ideas.

Because in those days, no one would care what women thought.

That's why Ruth is so sad. This misfortune is not only because of her manipulated marriage, but also because she is one of the few awakened people in that social background.

Cameron wanted her to perform the part of being alone and melancholy on the boat, so Rhea followed the plot and immersed herself in her own thoughts. She was too deep. She had performed countless times to pass the exam, and now she for this corner

Color has once again integrated into this role, and thousands of interpretations have given Rhea a different emotion for Ruth.

And the idea that she's actually playing Ruth for Cameron now stimulates her brain and soul, and takes her to a wondrous depth of emotional experience.

She's never been so deeply immersed in a character, as if the character was really made for her.Allowing herself to immerse herself in sadness and melancholy, Rhea's self-thoughts seemed to sink completely into that terrible, cold ocean, and the Ruth she created completely occupied her thoughts for the first time.

Raising her eyes, Rhea gave the camera a positive look. Suddenly, the life that belonged to Ruth flashed through her mind quickly, and too many emotions flooded into her brain at once, and her eyes shivered.

There was no need for emotional brewing, tears rolled down from Rhea's eye sockets, leaving a wet mark on that fragile face.

No one can refuse her with a firm heart when seeing the sparkling light in those charming blue eyes.

After crying, no one told her what to do next, so Rhea performed silently in front of the camera for 10 minutes, and no one interrupted her for the entire 10 minutes.

So she has been trapped in the role, and performed along with her emotions.

When Rhea finally recovered from Ruth's emotions, she didn't know how long it had passed, and when she found that there was no sound in the audience, Rhea was extremely disturbed.

James Cameron didn't make her cry, and Ruth didn't cry in that scene, she seemed to be taking it too far.

The men on the set were still silent, and Rhea couldn't tell whether Cameron was satisfied or dissatisfied at all. She could only hear the sound of the machine running. She asked questions carefully, not even daring to wipe the tears on her face.

"Should I continue acting?"

No one answered her, the director, the producer, the casting director, the cinematographer, the field manager, the assistant on the set, and even the representative of the Screen Actors Union just watched her quietly.

Rhea didn't dare to breathe anymore, because she felt that she would make a sound when she exhaled and inhaled, and any sound that broke the silence should not be. To be honest, this weird atmosphere is really too scary.

The author has something to say:

Actually... I think some of Ruth's views are a bit harsh. Of course, she has done something wrong, but she is only 17 years old, so it's normal to see things incompletely.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion, a family opinion ha_(:з」∠)_

Second watch~ Good night everyone~
