Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 4 The first character

"Yes, it's the feeling of completely emptying yourself, looking at nothingness, confused and hesitant, yes, the performance is good." Director Kathy Bates slapped the rock girl in the camera with satisfaction, and turned her head Looking at Smith who was also looking at the camera, "This girl is more aura than I imagined, and her performance is more touching than the video of the rock rally."

"Yes, in that video she fell into pure despair and madness, shocking but obviously a little hysterical, and now the interpretation is much restrained, but it is more contagious, obviously the heavy makeup makes her look a bit gloomy , but I don’t know why I can’t help but feel sorry for this bad girl.” Smith was looking forward to Sarah’s performance and observed from the sidelines, but Sarah’s performance surprised him. He didn’t expect to stand in front of the camera for the first time. Sarah was approved by the director.

"There is no doubt that you have found a treasure this time. This girl's appearance is very eye-catching even in Hollywood. It is a waste to wear heavy makeup." It can be seen that Kathy Bates is really very fond of Sarah. Like it, she even turned her head to look at the screenwriter, and asked uncertainly, "Tom, would it be better to make her last scene more provocative?"

Screenwriter Tom Fontana looked at Sarah in the camera, then closed his eyes as if imagining the scene of the last scene, and then nodded slowly: "This proposal is good, I guess Sarah must have studied the script carefully, knowing that I What I want to emphasize is not the rebellious madness of the rock girl, but the sad tone of the whole memory, so she interprets it like this."

Tom said and pointed to the small screen with his finger: "I have also seen the rock rally clips shot by Smith. To be honest, I didn't like this kind of pure madness before, like the psychedelic after taking drugs, but now this The girl's performance is impressive... just like what Smith said... I can't explain why, but I just feel sorry for her."

Sarah didn't expect that the scene with only a few shots in total would be adjusted. When Kathy Bates specially told her the scene with a gentle smile, she was even a little flattered. This is a double Oscar and Golden Globe film. back!

"Don't be nervous, I just made a small change to wash off the heavy makeup and reveal your pretty face." Kathy thought that Sarah was nervous and worried that the performance would not be good after changing the script, so she comforted her intimately.

But Sarah shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I'm not nervous, I, I'm just... just being able to communicate with you so close, so I can't control the excitement in my heart, especially you are so approachable, just now I was still cheering myself up and wanted to ask for an autographed photo with you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would be so patient in front of me giving me a little show, all of which seemed to be a A wonderful dream, I'm so... so... so excited!"

"Hahaha, Sarah, right? You are such a lovely girl, take a deep breath, relax, it is my honor to be liked by you so much." Kathy laughed, obviously pleased by Sarah's performance, she His big hand held Sarah's small hand, and his eyes became a little more intimate.

And Sarah also enjoys the feeling of being in close contact with the double actress. The other party's hand is as soft and warm as she imagined, and it is the same as the fat lady she saw in "Titanic" for the first time. Just as amiable.The kind-hearted fat woman who lent her son's clothes to Jack left a deep impression on Sarah, so she began to pay attention to Casey, and only then did she know that Casey still has the identity of a double actress.

Maybe Casey doesn't have such an outstanding appearance, but her acting skills are beyond doubt, and her performance in "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" is excellent.Therefore, Sarah's excitement at the moment is not adulterated in the slightest. She really did not expect that she would meet such a famous figure when she first entered Hollywood, and even get personal guidance from the Oscar queen.

"If I were to evaluate it, as a complete newcomer, your performance is already very good, and your understanding of the role is also very good, but you are still a little bit reluctant, perhaps because you are still a little reserved because you are standing in front of the camera for the first time. , this point can be adjusted slowly. Fortunately, you don’t have many roles here, and it’s not a problem to complete it with your current state. If you want to be an actor... I mean, with such beauty, you should be an actor without a doubt Live up to God's love for you... So I suggest that you study systematically after this simple water test. There are actually many acting courses. I can recommend you... Ah! Look over there!"

Casey was pointing at Sarah, and in the middle of speaking, she suddenly pointed at the young man from the crew not far away and laughed.

"Hahaha! That kid actually only cared about you hitting the electric pole!"

Sarah turned her head and saw several crew members laughing at the partner who was rubbing his head, and the boy who was rubbing his head quickly glanced at Sarah and ran away like burning his ass.

Sarah immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't laugh or cry at the moment, and was looked at with smiles by the crew members around her. She couldn't help but her face burned a little, and finally attracted Casey's ridicule.

"I didn't expect you to be so shy, those admiring gazes would make you blush! Hey, girl, with such a delicate and beautiful appearance, isn't it normal for you to be stared at?" Casey faced the question of being able to put all her own It’s hard not to have a good impression of Sarah, whose film and television works are so rare. Seeing Sarah blushing now is even more interesting. She faintly feels that Sarah seems to be different from what she heard. Unmarried high school student mother?Rebellious crazy rock girl?Those rumors seemed to be different from the girl in front of her. She couldn't help being curious. As a filmmaker, Kathy always unconsciously paid more attention to people with stories, and Sarah obviously aroused her interest.

"Okay, okay, laugh as much as you want, I'm very honored to be able to bring you happiness." After the initial embarrassment, Sarah shook her head and spread her hands as if giving up on herself, which eventually attracted the attention of Kathy and other colleagues. There was a burst of laughter.

Happiness is contagious. The incident of "hitting the telephone pole" spread quickly among the film crew. This time, Sarah couldn't help but curled up her mouth. Touching her face, she was filled with emotion, and there was a trace of happiness in her heart. Small pride, the feeling of being a beautiful woman is really not bad.

It is precisely because of this one-in-a-million face that Sarah got the opportunity to "show her face" in "Prison" and washed away the smoky makeup. In the last scene, she was able to show her beautiful without makeup and her acting skills The requirements have also been slightly raised, and Sarah therefore cherishes this last opportunity to perform. For a character who doesn't have many roles, there are not many opportunities to really show her face, especially the close-up of the front face. The unexpected joy of pulling.

While looking at herself in the mirror without makeup, Sarah muttered in a low voice: "I just got the pregnancy test report, you are immersed in the joy of being a mother, and because of the lover around you, you finally started to try to enjoy it." Life, this is the only light in your bad life, but happiness is too short, all this..."

"Everything is like a beautiful soap bubble bursting in an instant... Fate is too cruel to this girl, look into her eyes, the happiness inside has not had time to fully bloom... I have to face the coming of death..." TV The Janet in front of her had shed tears unknowingly, but she still didn't take her eyes off the girl on the screen.

The girl played by Sarah is named "Emily". The character only appears in a black-and-white memory. Although it took only 3 minutes from appearance to death, Janet couldn't take her eyes off. She just marveled at the rock and roll scene. The girl Emily was so beautiful without makeup, and was infected by the joy of her pregnancy. An unexpected gun battle took Emily's life. The plot developed too suddenly, or it could be said that Emily was too It was so beautiful that Janet stared blankly, but was startled by the sudden gunshot.

The scene is gradually blurred, only the girl in the center of the lens, that beautiful face gets a close-up, and there is still a trace of happy smile that has not completely dissipated, those beautiful eyes are wide open until the end, silently asking: why ?Why did misfortune come so suddenly?Why did death come to her?

"Who is this girl who plays Emily? Woohoo...she's so beautiful...woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...Damn, my nose is sore..." Another audience also rubbed their noses to hold back tears, as an audience of "Prison Storm" , She obviously wanted to see the violence and intrigues in the prison, but now she just felt blocked in her heart, and she was very sad because of Emily's death.

"Poor girl, hey! Bastard, don't leave her behind, damn it, your woman is still lying in a pool of blood, and you are only thinking about running for your own life!" Joseph threw the TV remote control angrily, and the scene of the gun battle on the screen was chaotic. Everyone is running away, only Emily is forgotten by her criminal lover, lying alone and desolate in a pool of blood.

As soon as the camera turned, Emily's role was over, but the last scene stabbed Joseph in the eye. Joseph rubbed his face and continued to watch the development of the plot, but he found that he was still a little depressed. The image of Millie couldn't get it out of his mind.Looking at Emily's small figure and those beautiful eyes that could not rest in peace, Joseph felt a strong desire to protect. He felt sorry for that silly girl who fell in love with a desperado, and wanted to hug her and give her warmth , give her comfort.

Arthur was also sitting in front of the TV. He didn't turn his head to look at the daughter next to him until the picture on the screen changed and Emily disappeared completely. It seemed that La would leave him.

"Dad, what's the matter with you? Tell me something, how is my performance?" Sarah felt a little uncomfortable being made by Arthur, and kept urging him to rate her performance quickly.

"It's very good, no, it's not good, it's great!" Arthur nodded heavily, and gave Sarah a ten out of ten with his thumbs up without hesitation.

"Haha, you are a judge who was bribed by me." Sarah hugged her little son in her arms and pursed her lips, but she was already happy in her heart. No matter what others said, she herself was not bad for these few minutes of performance anyway. Satisfied, especially the last scene of death.

A powerful close-up, and that performance wasn't pure acting.Sarah, who is not from a major, does not have very superb acting skills, but the last scene is indeed remarkable, because she has really experienced death, knowing the feeling of death coming unprepared, stunned, at a loss, and even It was too late to feel panic, and death had already come.But experiencing the memory of the original Sarah is another completely different state. The original Sarah is so young, her life has just begun, and the fear of death during the dystocia frightened her. I can't believe that I will die - why, obviously she hasn't lived enough, why, is she going to die in such a haste?

Perhaps it is precisely because of these inner realizations that Sarah's performance infected the audience and aroused their emotions, especially Arthur, who almost lost his daughter. It took a long time for this middle-aged man to calm down. Ask: "So are you going to be an actor? I see you've collected some information on acting classes. Are you going to... go to work in Hollywood after high school?"

Before Sarah could answer, Arthur quickly added: "I thought you wanted to be a writer. You have been writing novels for the past few days, and you have tried to contribute to newspapers. You have also borrowed a lot of high school and college textbooks. It's obvious that you plan to go to university...Of course, being an actor is also a good choice, I mean, as long as you are happy, I will support you."

Seeing that Arthur was a little anxious and full of concern for herself, Sarah couldn't help showing a sincere smile, stretched out her hand to hold Arthur's hand, and comforted him with a smile: "Relax dad, I'm just interested in acting, Maybe I will enter Hollywood to be an actor in the future, but at least I will not give up my studies because of this. I want to go to college, and this decision will not change. Besides, role opportunities are so easy to get, I still need to study acting systematically, At present, I am still worrying about the cost of the acting training class!"

"That's it..." Arthur was a little embarrassed. He used to drink heavily, so he didn't have much communication with Sarah. Now that the father and daughter are close, he wanted to give Sarah some advice but felt that he hadn't done what his father wanted. Responsibility, not qualified to dictate Sarah's decisions, so she always lacked confidence when speaking, worried that she would offend Sarah, and turn back to the irritable and rebellious daughter she used to be.Now hearing Sarah's firm statement that she would finish her studies, Arthur secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As if he suddenly thought of something, Arthur patted his forehead, limped into his bedroom, and soon returned to the living room, but there was an extra envelope in his hand.

"Here, let's see if it's enough for the training class." Arthur shoved the envelope to Sarah, smiling very happily, "This was earned just yesterday, a young blond-haired young man bought you holding Noah That oil painting was sold very generously..."

The author has something to say:

*"Prison Storm" is a very good American TV series, but it is a pity that there are no suitable characters in it, so this scene of Emily is fabricated by Dailin himself.

Interested babies can search Prison Situation, personally think it is worth watching, but it may not poke the interest of girls

*Kathy Bates still plays a lot of roles, not in the ranks of beauties, but an old actor of the acting school.

The first time Dailin came into contact with her was watching "Titanic", the fat woman who didn't dislike Jack, but lent her dress to Jack for the banquet, do you have any impression?It was Kathy.
