super actress

When she realized that she had competed for the role of Ruth, Rhea was really happy for a long time, but after experiencing the joy of being hit by a pie, she ushered in disaster-like anxiety and tension.

If "Titanic" fails because of her, or loses hundreds of millions of box office because of her, it will completely drive Rhea crazy.

She was worried about whether she could really replace Kate Winslet, and she was afraid that she would not be able to play the role of Ruth as well as she had at the audition.

It is precisely because of knowing how successful "Titanic" is that Rhea is under more pressure than everyone else, and this pressure is even hellish.

This sentiment led to Rhea coming to James Cameron's set again, not much better than the first time.

Cameron stared at Rhea for a while in surprise, but he didn't say much.It's not because he likes to see people nervous, but he thinks this state will make Rhea play better, so he doesn't intend to comfort this poor looking young girl.

On the contrary, Leonardo, who came to the audition, performed the most naturally. James Cameron specially arranged for Rhea to try the opposite scene with him.

He was not optimistic about Leonardo at first, but he was a little convinced by the charm of the other party, so Cameron specially asked the two of them to come to the audition to test the chemical reaction of the hero and heroine.

Although Cameron knew that the two actors had known each other for a long time, he was also surprised by the quick familiarity of the two young people.

"That's funny, it's just the opposite of what it was before, isn't it?"

Leonardo and Rhea greeted each other. This was the first time they met after the Oscars. In fact, it was not long before the Oscars.

"I auditioned you for Buzz before, now it's your turn to audition me for the director."

Seeing the handsome young man raising his eyebrows at her, Rhea could only feel that it was a good thing he was interested now. She heard that this guy provoked Cameron at the beginning, saying that he was wrong in his lines.

Rhea guessed that he was dissatisfied with Cameron's previous attitude. The director's questioning attitude was too obvious, and Leonardo was completely retaliating.

She smiled helplessly: "I don't know how to put water."

He didn't care much about this role at first, but Leonardo became unhappy when he heard this sentence: "Hey! I said a lot of good things for you at that time."

"I remember, I will try to repay you."

Slightly frowning and looking at her, a few strands of his hair, which had been fixed with hairspray, fell out. For a moment, Rhea thought he was Jack.

In fact, he was originally Jack.

Rhea was kind of jealous that she was doing all she could to outshine Kate Winslet's Ruth, while the guy only needed to put in a fair amount of effort and he could play Jack well.

But it's what she's willing to do, and she knows she can't be overshadowed by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Although James Cameron personally told her that Ruth belonged to her, the contract was not signed and everything was uncertain. If Cameron abandoned her for Leonardo, Rhea would definitely not be reconciled.

This is not impossible. After all, they have just played a couple in "Romeo and Juliet". If Cameron just wants to choose one of them, then Rhea will have competition with Leonardo.

Even if she knew that the role of Jack was destined to belong to Leonardo, Rhea had to prove to Cameron that he would not regret giving Ruth to her.

They came to the rehearsal room together, Leonardo lit a cigarette, Cameron did not stop him, because some actors need to use certain props to express their emotions.

And this script requires the hero to smoke.

Among all the people, only Rhea frowned slightly uncomfortable, but she just took the initiative to walk away from some characters who felt herself, and did not disturb Leonardo.

Leonardo snuffed out the cigarette as soon as she walked away, and Rhea didn't see a scene.

In the end, they sat face to face on the sofa, and to be precise, Leonardo was mostly lying on the sofa, and Rhea was the one sitting seriously.

Cameron called out, and Leonardo sat up seriously, and his expression also changed. He seemed to have become a character in a movie that Rhea had seen in an instant. He was young, frank and full of enthusiasm. As brooding as Baz Luhrmann's Romeo is, Jack is lively and more relatable.

Maybe it was Rhea's words "can't release water" that stimulated him. Leonardo performed very well from the beginning, and this expressiveness that was infinitely close to the screen image deterred Rhea. She could feel that kind of tension.

She was not reconciled to being defeated, and Rhea was always not reconciled when it came to matters related to acting.

Leonardo stared at her, and now he was looking at her with Jack's eyes, so there was still a trace of longing and fascination hidden deep in his eyes.

Jack at that time came to Ruth

Said it was just an unknown person, and she didn't even know who he was, but Jack had already developed a vague affection for her, and he had seen her on this ship, several times.

She looks beautiful and noble, and she looks like the upper class that Jack can't touch at all.

However, the suicide of the noble lady made the two people with huge class differences meet.

They're right in the scene where Jack and Rose meet for the first time, and Cameron wanted to pick out a couple that was meant to be, and he wanted the audience to know they were a couple the first time they saw them. Meeting can create a strong sense of destiny.

The current script is still somewhat different from the version Rhea has seen, but the general plot remains unchanged. The unsatisfactory reality gave Ruth an urge to kill herself, and she wanted to jump off the boat.

But Jack finds her and saves her, so their two parallel lines of fate that should have been disconnected are finally intertwined.

When answering the lines, Leonardo stretched out his hand slightly, "Give me your hand, and I will hold you."

Instead, Rhea retreated subconsciously, but shrank because she had nowhere to retreat. She seemed to have discovered a secret she shouldn't have. This night of her own execution should have been hidden and unknown, and no one should have discovered her. , so her expression became hasty and fragile.

"No, don't come here, stay away from me."

He used those witty words to attract the attention of the imaginative noble lady, and threatened her with the coldness of the sea, and he dispelled the other party's suicidal thoughts.

Rhea had heard those lines so many times that she felt like she was going to throw up, but when she actually heard Jack himself say those lines in front of her, she didn't find it annoying anymore.

Even though she didn't need the script to pick up the other person's words, she still pretended to hold the script.

Rhea looked back at him, staring at Leonardo with the eyes of Ruth she had created.

He doesn't look so reliable, with innocent childishness remaining on his young face, but there is no fear in his eyes, as if nothing can trouble him, this is a completely different person from her fiancé, and also her People you've never met.

Those dark blond hairs haven't been taken care of well, they are messy and scattered, just like him, no rules, no restraints, just living freely in this world.

"My name is Jack Dawson.

Finally Ruth took his outstretched hand, and Rhea took his too, "Ruth Dewey

Te Bukett. "

When she read this line in front of Leonardo, Rhea finally got the sense of reality that she really got a role.

In the movie, this scene takes place on the deck of a ship, which is why it seems romantic, but here, they just sit on two sofas and hold their arms. This scene is even a little funny, but no one in the crew laughs.

The young Leonardo smiled at her, and there was a hint of affection in the curve of his lips, "You may have to write it down for me to see."

He is really high-spirited at this time, even the opportunity of James Cameron's movie actor is not willing to give up, just to make himself feel better.

This scene ended as suddenly as it started, before Cameron even had time to stop, Leonardo withdrew his hand and fell back on the sofa.

"I'm done."

Cameron wasn't angry either. Instead, he stared at the two of them with great interest. Rhea could feel that he was in a good mood, and he appreciated Leonardo's performance.

And he didn't think Rhea couldn't keep up with Leonardo at all, which was a good sign, Rhea noticed that his gaze also stayed on her.

The director, who always had a serious face on the set, asked a question that had nothing to do with his film: "By the way, which movie you acted in before was Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo and Juliet"?"

"Yes, you can also call it the post-modern passion version." Leonardo shrugged while lying on the sofa.

Rhea glared at him inconspicuously. She tried to restrain herself from doing that, but she still did it subconsciously. Fortunately, Leonardo sat up straighter with a little bit of interest, and he finally had a look.

Looking at Cameron, who was deep in thought, Rhea knew that it was impossible that no one would remind the great director that she and Leonardo had acted in a movie together before, and it was a new movie that was about to be released.

Even Cameron himself has seen the trailer of the movie, and of course he knows what Leonardo and Rhea are playing in it.

Rhea herself has been troubled by this problem for a long time. She was always worried that Cameron would have scruples, so she finally came up with an extremely bold idea, and she decided to try it.

If it really fails, forget it, anyway, she has been "Ruth" for a period of time without any pretense.

The first time he took the initiative to come to Cameron's side, Rhea whispered to him: "James, the premiere of our movie is tomorrow. If you want, you can also come and participate. Buzz will be very happy."

Mellon looked a little surprised. He thought Rhea would never warmly talk to him.

His first thought was to refuse. He still has a lot of work to do for his own movie Cameron, so how can he care about other people's movies?

But rationally held down the no he was about to blurt out, Cameron looked at this pretty girl who tended to be quiet and introverted for a while, and then he went to see Leonardo.

He realized that Rhea was fighting for Leonardo, or both of them, and he began to find this thing interesting.

Seeing Rhea walking back, Leonardo asked her, "What did you say to him?"

"Repay you." Rhea put her hand on the back of the sofa where the man was lying, and she talked to him with a helpless smile, "Even if he doesn't want me, he will want you, Leo."

Leonardo didn't acknowledge her affection, he just lay there casually looking up at Rhea standing on the edge of the sofa, "If that's really the case, then he must be crazy."

This sentence pleased Rhea, she was amused by him, and she broke away from Ruth's role, that was Rhea's smile, light, gentle and sober, never indulgent.

"Is James Cameron coming to our premiere too?"

Baz Luhrmann, the director of "Romeo and Juliet", was a little surprised. He didn't know James Cameron, and the circles of the two directors didn't have any intersection, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future.

As an Australian director who entered Hollywood, Luhrmann is still very willing to meet well-known Hollywood directors, so he happily accepted the news.

In fact, he felt that his luck had come.

When filming this movie, Luhrmann was also troubled by funds, and then Leonardo joined him to win Fox's investment, and then he had to replace Natalie Portman and re-elected. However, he soon found a very favorite Juliet.

When Luhrmann finished making the film, the heroine has become famous in Hollywood, and the actor is also a popular new star with works and award nominations. Even the two people promoted the film on the Oscars red carpet before the film was released.

As a director and producer, Luhrmann also wanted to participate in the promotion of the film. The agents of Rhea and Leonardo also greeted him back and forth. He thought this method was good and agreed with their approach.

And the reality has proved that this effect is excellent.

On the day of the premiere, they received extremely high attention

At this time, not only the media came, but even the fans of the two leading actors surrounded the scene to the brim.

At the beginning, he asked Rhea to play Juliet with a salary of 45 yuan, but now it is impossible for him to ask her to act at such a price.

Looking at the dense crowd, Luhrmann could hear Rhea's name from the voice from time to time. He couldn't help feeling the so-called overnight fame in Hollywood. Destiny favors a person, and a movie can push her to the position of a big star , but did not get the favor of fate, and worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years without being famous. This is also the fate of most actors.

"Long time no see, Juliet."

After seeing each other for more than a year, Luhrmann felt that Rhea had changed a lot, but it was not a bad one. The little girl was just growing up and becoming mature.

He hoped Hollywood fame didn't materialize her talent and aura.

Hearing this name, Rhea hugged her up: "Now you are the only one who can call me that, Buzz." More people still call her Lolita.

"If you want to listen, I can call you that too." Leonardo was next to Rhea, and after Rhea finished hugging, he hugged Luhrmann.

This made Luhrmann look at them a little bit delicately, but he didn't say anything, just asked: "Do you know when James Cameron is coming?"

"I don't know, he just promised to come and see, maybe he will pretend to be a film critic and get in." Rhea smiled helplessly, "Relax, Buzz, at least James won't post a film review to comment good or bad."

Luhrmann shook his head with joy and sorrow, "It's hard to say."

The premiere ceremony is only to attract topics and popularity for the film. The real important thing is the film critics and the first batch of audiences, so taking pictures on the red carpet and taking care of fan autographs are just to add to the fun.

When Leonardo walked out with Rhea in his arms, the atmosphere at the scene was the hottest.

It seems that his image of protecting Rhea in front of Sharon Stone perfectly countered Rhea's Lolita aura, at least no one objected to their intimacy in front of the camera.

This is a good sign, which indicates that the audience's desire to protect Rhea is gradually thawing.

When she sat down in the movie theater, the lights had dimmed, and Rhea couldn't make out which were the film critics and which were the audience, and she wanted to know where James Cameron was sitting.

However, she was still watching, and Leonardo pulled her back, "If he really wants to hide, and you can't find him, focus on watching the movie first."

what he said makes sense

, so Rhea turned her attention back to the movie.

Seeing the back, she had forgotten about Cameron. Acting by herself is completely different from watching a movie from a third-party perspective.

Then she dispelled the vague thoughts of regret before, and was extremely grateful that she took the picture of Juliet in Buzz.

Because this movie left the most moving image of her youth, Juliet's beauty may not be as classic as "Titanic", but she is pure and flawless, as beautiful as the full moon at midnight.

After looking in the mirror countless times at the dressing table, this was the first time Rhea realized that she had grown up like this under the lens of Baz Luhrmann.

The author has something to say:

Baz Luhrmann is super beautiful in his shots. Nicole Kidman's "Moulin Rouge" is also shot by him. He can always capture the peak of the actor's appearance233. I like his shots very much.

Second watch, good night~
