[US Entertainment] Actress

The main film of "Cold Mountain" was shot in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, where the scenery is beautiful and the environment is beautiful, and the original life style is still preserved, which is very similar to the North Carolina area in the 19s in "Cold Mountain". resemblance.North Carolina is the birthplace of the story of "Cold Mountain" and the hometown of Charles Fraser, the original author of the novel.

The unique topography constitutes the unique climate of this mountain area. In April, the weather is still a bit cold, but the green grass is overgrown here.This place was originally a desolate land. After the crew of "Cold Mountain" built houses here and the actors lived in it, it gained a little popularity.

It was a joy to find a place that fits the background of the movie as a shooting location, but when the crew actually settled down, the actors realized that shooting in the wild is actually a worse thing than a well-equipped studio .For example, accommodation. The "Cold Mountain" crew has booked all the hotels in the nearest town, but even so, the conditions of the hotels are still a bit poor.The faucets in the bathroom and toilet were often broken, and the frequency of cold water was much more than that of hot water. During the filming period, Noy always felt that he was much messier than usual.

This day was Noye's first scene, and the first time Ruby met Ida.The war broke out, Inman left, and her father died. Ada, who had lived a prosperous life, suddenly became a mess. She couldn't kill chickens, farm the land, or cook, and her piano-playing hands were sharpened. In the end, Ada could only be immersed in the yearning for Inman and couldn't extricate herself.

At this time, Ruby appeared.

Wearing a dirty hat and carrying a bundle, she said to Ada who was in deep thought: "The cow needs to be milked. If the letter is not in a hurry, we can talk about the cow first."

She had her hands on her hips, and her attitude was really not good.

Then she lifted the hat, revealing a head of fluffy hair and a slightly round face.Under the camera, her figure is a bit thick, which is in stark contrast to Ada, who is a bit too delicate.

Anthony Minghella was pleased with Noye's appearance.In his setting, Ruby should be such a reckless and reckless image. If it is too beautiful, it does not fit Ruby's role setting.

Ruby was introduced by Ada's neighbor. She thinks she is a good hand at work, but she doesn't want to be hired by Ada as a servant.And dealing with the rooster that Ida thinks is a demon is Ruby's chance to prove herself.

She stepped forward a little and with a little pressure on her fingers, she unscrewed the cock's head.

Ada screamed.Ruby told her, "Put it in the pot."

Noy wasn't a god, and she had no experience working in the fields, so she certainly didn't have the skills to unscrew the poor rooster's head.This is what the crew has already prepared.Put a chicken there first, take the opportunity to change it when Ruby is catching the chicken, and then give the other chicken to Noy to twist.These chickens were purchased by the crew from the homes of local farmers, and the one whose head was twisted was taken back by the staff to make soup for drinking.

"Killing chickens is definitely a technical job." Noy smelled his hands after washing to confirm that there was really no bloody smell on them.

"Noy, give you a few more days, and you will become an expert." Anthony Minghella added.

"No, I'm an expert now. I think I don't have to worry about what to do when I retire, and this movie developed my new skills." Noye winked playfully, which made Anthony Minghella laugh laugh.

In addition to the line of Noye and Nicole Kidman, the role of Jude Law is also an important part of the plot, but because the war scene needs to be arranged separately, the two lines are not carried out at the same time. Shot of Nicole Kidman and Noye's hometown scenes.

Life in the country is boring and uninteresting. For women whose husbands don't know how to live or die on the battlefield, the fear of endless waiting is what can kill them.After all, the scariest things in the world often do not come from reality, but from illusory imagination.

But Ruby is not like this. She guards Ada tightly like a guardian. Under Ruby's infection, Ada gradually becomes stronger.

Throughout the whole movie, the role of Ruby is not too much, after all, Nicole is the only heroine.But Ruby's character has a lot to offer.She is not that kind of vase role. Although she is a supporting actress, her role may be more exciting than the heroine.In Noy's previous life, Renee Zellweger won the Oscar for supporting actress for the role of Ruby, and Noy didn't think her performance would be worse than Renee Zellweger's.

Filming the role of Ruby on the set of "Cold Mountain" was also a novel experience for Noye.She had to get rid of all her acting habits and just play a peasant girl with a gruff voice.Although Ruby is not beautiful, her self-confidence is natural. She smiles confidently and brightly, and her hope for life is moving.

Noye grew to like the Ruby character.

In fact, it is worth noting that Noye is an Englishman, so she has no way of understanding the status of "Cold Mountain" in the hearts of Americans.Although this is a romance novel, what Charles Fraser focuses on is the mentality of the women and children left behind, their loneliness and despair, and this is the part that shocks the readers.This novel stayed on the best-seller list of The New York Times for several weeks. It was considered by many filmmakers as a novel that was difficult to be adapted. This is the power of classics.

Noy may not empathize with the same feelings as Americans, but her desire to make this film is the same as the rest of the crew. Even during filming, she still takes out the original novel and script to study confidently every night when she rests .

The plot of the movie continues day by day.Gradually, the lives of Ada and Ruby in the countryside are no longer peaceful.A thirst for male soldiers complicates the place, their neighbor Sally is hurt for secretly hiding her son at home, Sally's husband is hung on a clothesline and Sally herself is crushed to death under a log .

Ruby looked around frantically with the gun in her hand, and as soon as she realized that there was no sign of anyone else, she immediately ran towards Sally.Seeing Sally's miserable state, she screamed to the sky in pain.Then, she and Ada lifted Sally with all their strength, but saw the pain on the old face and her bloody hands.

Sally was hanging by the rope and dying.

At this moment, Ruby, who was extremely angry, suddenly said something, and she almost screamed out: "The world will not always be like this, God will not allow the world to perish like this!"

Until now, Ruby, who has always been optimistic, seems to have revealed some of her true emotions—she doesn’t understand Ida at all, otherwise she would have no need to help Ada at all; she also has resentment towards this era, It is too easy to lose one's life, too easy to despair.

In this scene, Noi almost exhausted her strongest emotions since filming.Although she didn't cry, the emotions she showed were stronger than crying.Nicole glanced at Noi with a surprised look. She could feel Noi's strong emotions at the moment when she was playing with Noi, but her astonishment only lasted for two seconds, and she fell into the role of Ada again. .

"Very good!" Director Anthony Minghella applauded fiercely, "Nicole, Noy, you cooperated perfectly, and your performance exceeded my expectations!"

At the beginning of the casting, Anthony Minghella was very assured of the actor's acting skills.Although Nicole Kidman did not win the best actress at that time, her acting skills in "Moulin Rouge" were remarkable, and at this year's Oscars, Nicole also won the best actress, which is even more It strengthened Anthony's confidence.Although Noy can only be regarded as a new-generation actor, her acting skills are among the best among young actors. In the three years since her debut, she has been nominated twice for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and she even won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Worried that your movie will be screwed up because of the actor's relationship.

"Thank you, Anthony." Nicole responded to Anthony's compliment with a smile.

"Thank you, Anthony." Noy raised the mineral water bottle in his hand, and threw a bottle to Nicole Kidman by the way.Nicole took the water and half-complained: "It would be nice if there was hot water now."

Noye turned to look at her.

"I want to drink some hot water, and take a refreshing hot bath by the way." Nicole showed a helpless smile, "If I were still at home, I would take a bath twice a day. Also, I almost never touch the bath. brooms or sticks or something, but now I can hardly live without them."

"Like Monkey King?"

"what?"

"I'm talking about a magical monkey in Chinese mythology whose weapon is a wooden stick and he has to carry it every day."

"Noy, you have a lot of knowledge." Nicole fiddled with her hair, "But I feel more like a wizard in Harry Potter. What is the wizard who holds a broom every day?"

"Then you can practice flying skills." Anthony Minghella leaned over and added, "And then many years later, when people recall the movie "Cold Mountain", what they think of will have nothing to do with this movie, but It was Nicole Kidman and Noye Linton who both found new jobs on the film."

Anthony Minghella's statement made them both laugh.

After a few days of running-in, the crew became more and more familiar with each other, and the actors' cooperation became more and more tacit.Noy gradually discovered that Nicole in private is not as goddess as she appears in public. On the contrary, Nicole is very gentle and low-key, works very hard in filming, and takes good care of other actors in the crew.

The most concerned thing in Nicole's life is her marriage to Tom Cruise.Of course, Noy only got along with Nicole for a short period of time. She didn't know Nicole's personality, but she knew very well that Nicole's true character must be tough and powerful, and her communication skills should not be underestimated either. .Otherwise, it is not something ordinary actresses can do to still be favored by Oscars after divorcing Tom Cruise.

Filming continued, and Noye needed to keep her rough going.

"Are you sure I want to do this?" Noy reconfirmed to Brendan Gleeson.Brendan nodded.He played Ruby's father, Stebroad Hughes, in the movie. He was caught in a trap for stealing at the first moment of his appearance, and then his ass was severely beaten by his daughter Ruby with a stick. .

With Brendan's permission, Noy didn't hesitate any longer, and hit Brendan's ass hard twice with a stick. I was thinking, if Martin was here, it might be difficult to recognize her at first sight.

"You are really good!" Brendan enthusiastically praised Noy's stick style, and he did not forget to rub his sore butt while praising.

Ruby hadn't been on good terms with her father, and Sturbrod Hughes had beaten her and abandoned her, and though he regretted it now, Ruby didn't want to forgive him one bit.

"You're a bastard!" she said of her father, her voice as rude as ever, without any girlish tenderness.But when he left, Ruby would ask him if he didn't even have a coat.

She cried, and at the same time she did not forget to comment on Strobrod: "He is a shit ball, plant him in the ground, and it will grow exactly the same."

Photographer John Hill witnessed this scene, and he commented: "What a touching performance."

In the part of shaping the relationship, Noye Linton is even stronger than Nicole Kidman, perhaps because her face has not received much attention, and her interpretation of Ruby seems to exist in this world.

"I agree with you." Anthony Minghella continued, "It's very exciting."

Gradually, the filming of the film has continued until the end of April. Apart from the half of Nicole and Ruby, the other half of the screen is reserved for Jude Law, so Noye actually filmed very few scenes.

Noye suddenly thought of something, which came to her when she accidentally checked the cast list of the movie Leng Shan.This movie brings together Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The most important thing is not that Mann is in the name of these three people, but that all three people are Oscar winner, two actresses, and one actor.Noy has worked with three Oscar-winning directors and nine Oscar winners since she was a filmmaker. Counting the resumes of young Hollywood actors, I am afraid that no one is more lucky than her.

Having worked with so many Oscar winners, she should work hard to win an Oscar herself!

Thinking of this, Nuo Yi is full of strength, and his energy to work is stronger than that of the previous few days.Director Anthony Minghella saw all this in his eyes. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he privately mentioned his appreciation for Noy to his friends more than once.

That's why it's so hard for pompous, lazy guys to make it in Hollywood.There are no secrets in the circle of Hollywood. The audience may not know what an actor is like in private, but his peers in the entertainment industry know it very well.They may let you join the filming of a certain movie because of your popularity, but they will also be the first to abandon you the day your popularity fades away.Macaulay Culkin and Lindsay Lohan, once in full swing in Hollywood, are proof.

Only hard-working and talented actors are the most likely to succeed.

"Noy, oh, Noy." Nicole Kidman smiled and walked over to hug her. "Honey, you work so hard, it makes me have to give it my all."

"It's a good thing, isn't it?"

Christmas in 1864 was spent singing, and they kept looking forward to the end of the war, but no one knew when the war would end, even though they looked forward to it devoutly.Sally, Ada and Ruby, the three lonely women joked with each other and kept each other warm in the boundless snowy night.

Time passed day by day, and Ada could roll up her sleeves to chop wood, but at this moment, they heard the news that the militiamen came to sweep up.When all the men rushed to the battlefield, the militiamen did not shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homes. They wantonly bullied women, murdered and looted, and were more terrifying than the most heinous villains. it won't end.

Ruby's father was killed by them.

Ruby's sadness turned into countless nagging. She said that she would not shed a tear for her father, but sadness is sadness after all, and the past will not be repeated because of her sophistry. The tragedy still happened.
