Chapter 774 The Favor of the God of Movies Chapter 4

Cher is wearing a black coat with sexy black stockings exposed underneath, a pair of red high-heeled shoes with red sequins on her feet, and long black hair with big waves, combined with the more three-dimensional facial features after makeup, it is simply A classic black-haired beauty appeared in front of everyone.

Xueer's face line is very suitable for filming. Her cheekbones are a bit high, which may be said to be mean, but with the cooperation of eye shadow and blush, it is very suitable for filming under lighting, very three-dimensional feel.

There are shadows on the face, all you need is a light, and there is no need for complex composite light sources to create the effect.

All images on the movie screen are flat, and the human brain needs calculations to reconstruct the three-dimensional image of the human face.The more three-dimensional the facial lines are, the easier it will be perceived by the audience's human brain as good-looking.Coupled with the advanced lighting for film shooting, the requirements for actors to be beautiful on the big screen are much higher than those in TV dramas.

In a sense, whether an actor is suitable for the big screen is also selected by the movie god.Only actors who are favored by the movie gods have the possibility of being the leading roles.

Cher made a dancing pose and turned in from outside the camera.She is like Mimi, the protagonist in the opera "La Bohème", deeply intoxicated in love.

Olympia Dukakis, enters the picture from another angle.

David Watkin is indeed a very good director of photography. He quickly arranged the camera from several angles based on the rehearsal results, so that he could shoot the story that happened around the long dining table from different angles.

He also made it so that the camera does not catch other cameras, which is very clever.Sometimes, the dead angle of shooting is just that little, only a few tens of centimeters are suitable for placing the camera, and Watkin quickly found the best angle based on experience.

When the actors still have the feeling of quarreling just now, they can immediately enter the state of shooting.

"God, what happened to you?" Mother Rose couldn't help asking her soul when she saw her daughter dancing alone with a scarf in her hand.

"I really don't know where to start..." Cher's Loretta pulls out a chair and sits down at the dining table.

"Your hair is different too." Mother Rose keenly noticed the change in Loretta.

"Mom, everything is different." Loretta found her true love last night at the opera, Ronnie with the wooden hand.

"Are you drunk?" Mother Rose brought her daughter a cup of hot coffee.

"No, are you drunk?" Xue Er still had dissatisfaction with Dukakis in her emotions. Everyone is dissatisfied.

"No, but I'm a bit hungover." Rose, like her husband Cosmo, had to anesthetize herself with alcohol last night so that she could fall asleep next to her cheating husband.

"Where's Dad?" Loretta hadn't recovered from the romance.

"Upstairs," Rose got himself another cup of coffee, "Johnny Cammarelli came last night."

"What? He's not in Sicily?" Loretta couldn't be calm anymore. She and Johnny's brother Ronnie were not ready to tell Johnny about everything.Originally, Johnny had to wait for his seriously ill mother to finish the funeral before returning to New York to marry Loretta.Loretta still has time to slowly figure out how to explain to Johnny.

Suddenly realizing that she was about to face her fiancé, Johnny, Loretta felt a surge in her heart and stood up.I haven't enjoyed the romantic warmth for a few hours, and I'm suddenly scared away by the violent conflict I'm about to face.

"He's not in Sicily. He came yesterday and chatted with everyone."

"Impossible, he is in Sicily, his mother is dying, and he is there to accompany her on the last journey." Loretta yelled in denial excitedly.

When people suddenly face something they cannot accept, they often deny the facts.Loretta was very excited to argue, denying the fact that Johnny had returned to New York.

"No he's back."

"Impossible, he is in Sicily with his dying mother!"

"His mother is well."

"Impossible, she is seriously ill and dying."

"It's a miracle!" Rose said flatly.She didn't completely get rid of the conflict with Xue'er, this kind of light tone, like a master of acting, watching a singing layman perform in a cameo, and making trouble for no reason.

"Miracle? Miracle you... Now is the modern era, there are no more miracles." Xue Er seemed to be fighting back against the so-called acting masters, as long as one shot is good in making a movie.

While arguing with her mother with high pitch and volume, Loretta hurriedly picked up the napkin on the table and began to wipe the lipstick on her mouth. If Johnny came this morning, don't let him see that she was having an affair with Ronnie .

"Ha, I think Sicily still maintains the original rhythm, and has not entered any modern era." Dukakis watched Cher's exasperated performance, sat down slowly, and replied calmly.If you have acting skills, you don't have to work so hard.

"He came directly from the airport. He wants to talk to you." Putting the coffee on the corner of the dining table, mother Rose looked at her daughter's deliberate makeup, and she already understood the problem in her heart.

"You have a hickey of love on your neck!" Dukakis suddenly raised his voice, "What are you doing? Johnny is still coming home this morning to talk to you."

Cher's Loretta was taken aback and went to take a picture of herself on the glass of the cupboard.

"Tsk..."

Ronald watched the whole scene from behind the camera, and sure enough, the best performance is the real performance.Everyone's emotions were already in place during the morning's quarrel, there was no need for any psychological construction at all, and the vivid emotions in memory came easily.

Of course, Xueer’s performance was still a bit poor. Dukakis spoke with emotion and rhythm, and every sentence was stuck at the turning point of emotion. The strict training of Broadway made their lines very good .

"What the hell are you doing? You flushed your wonderful future life into the toilet by yourself." Dukakis became more and more excited as she spoke. argument.

"Cover up that damn love bite of yours, cover it with foundation, put on some makeup!"

"Okay, okay, you have to help me." Xue'er took out the plush pajamas from behind the door, and was about to change out of a sexy outfit.

"Zi..."

Suddenly the doorbell was rang, and the mother and daughter looked at each other. Is this Johnny?
"Oh, I'm going to change clothes, you go to open the door," Cher said to Dukakis.

"Zi..." The people outside the gate kept ringing the doorbell.

"Go and open the door, Mom," Xue'er picked up her pajamas and walked into the inner room.

"Eh..." Rose, the mother played by Dukakis, kept shaking her head, making some meaningless comments about her daughter's fall in love, expressing her disapproval.

"Cut!"

Ronald was actually not satisfied with Xueer's performance, she didn't show the flustered performance of the heroine Loretta in a consistent way.

Xue Er is a big singer herself, so of course she doesn't panic at all about such trivial matters.But Loretta is just a small accountant, making a living by helping small Italian businessmen among relatives and friends as part-time accountants.

Of course, he would be even more nervous when he encountered such a thing that was smashed by his fiancé on the spot.

But it doesn't matter, Ronald thought, this kind of emotional state is rare, don't waste time on such small details, the reversal of this scene is very dense, and it takes a few minutes for multiple characters to go back and forth. Turning around, the audience's emotions were aroused up and down, it's better to let Xueer's little flaws go, at least her previous performances were very good.

"Change the game." Ronald said softly to the staff.

Nicolas Cage appeared at the door of the gate, looking in through the glass.

Mother Rose saw that it was not Johnny, but another handsome guy of Italian origin, the star was younger than her daughter.I know what happened in my heart.

She opened the door and yelled at her daughter, "It's not Johnny!"

Loretta opened the door and came out with her head tilted. She had already changed into a set of plush clothes and socks, and she was dressed comfortably.

"Oh, it's Ronnie." Loretta breathed a sigh of relief.

Ronnie, played by Nicolas Cage, has a big backed head, and his hair is still standing up a little unconvinced. The black windbreaker is carefully selected and looks very handsome.

"Is Johnny there?" Ronnie asked Loretta inside.

"Not here now, but he will come soon." Seeing her lover coming, Loretta felt a little more at ease.

"Very well, when he comes, let's spread everything out and explain everything on the table."

"Hmph..." Mother Rose looked at the state of the two of them, and the guess in her heart was more or less confirmed.

"Hi, I'm Ronnie, Johnny's younger brother, nice to meet you." Ronnie stretched out his hand... and said to his mother Rose who was blocking the way in the middle of the corridor.

"I'm Ross Castorini, Loretta's mother."

"Nice to meet you."

Mother Rose ignored Ronnie, and pulled Ronnie's windbreaker collar with her hand, looking at his neck. "You have a love bite too."

"Oh..." Loretta held her head, and her mother Rose saw through Ronnie's bottom in two strokes.

"Your mother is well," Ross went to prepare oatmeal, passing the news of his mother's miraculous recovery.

"Ah, that's a good thing, although I'm not very close to him."

"You have to go, you have to go, you can't be here today." Loretta pushed Ronnie, she didn't want to face her fiance Johnny and lover Ronnie face to face.

"I'm here to see your family today..." Ronnie came to Loretta's house after careful consideration.

"Who wants oatmeal?" Mother Rose was there preparing breakfast.

"I want some," Ronnie pushed Loretta aside, walked to the table, and took off his coat.When it came to the other hand, it was inconvenient to take off the sleeve with the artificial hand, so he took it off by biting the cuff with his mouth.

"Tsk..." Ronald admired in his heart, Nicolas Cage was aroused by a group of old actors, his little action fits the identity of Ronnie Camareli with a wooden prosthetic hand.

Acting is about reacting, and I often play with people with excellent acting skills. It is difficult for talented actors not to improve.In terms of performance, the effect of teaching by example far exceeds that of words.

The camera pans down the hallway, and Vincent Gardenia, who plays Father Cosmo, enters in a white shirt.

This is the difficulty of this scene. The characters walk into the kitchen one by one, eating and chatting around the dining table.It is very similar to the process in which actors go to the center of the stage through the entrance door in a drama.

With more and more actors, the drama itself has become more and more complicated. It is necessary to grasp the focus of the whole scene and only limit it to two or three people, so as not to overload the audience's attention, and to watch the trick smoothly. It is very much a test of the director's scheduling and the performance of the actors.

Cosmo sat down at the end of the long table, and he looked at Ronnie, examining the young man's wooden hand.He looked again at his daughter, Loretta.He drank a lot of wine last night, and he would not be able to figure out what the relationship between the two was for a while.

Loretta didn't dare to look at her father, she lowered her head and remained silent.

Cosmo had no choice but to ask Ronnie, "Are you Ronnie? Johnny's younger brother?"

"Yes, nice to meet you, I'm Ronnie Cammareri."

In Toronto, Canada, there is no representative of the photographers' union watching on the set, and the rule that the director of photography cannot take the shot himself, so no one cares.

The director of photography, David Watkin, went into battle himself, zoomed in, and took a super close-up of the face of Vincent Gardenia, who played Cosmo.

He uses a zoom lens, not for any zoom effect.But the time of this scene is very important. In order to save time and avoid changing the camera, the actor's mood cools down.By pulling the lens between zooms, lenses with different focal lengths can be realized, which is equivalent to using a zoom lens as a fixed-focus lens.

Vincent Gardenia's acting skills are extraordinary, he looked sluggish, but he quickly figured out the relationship between the two.When he went to the opera with his lover yesterday, he happened to meet his daughter.

It's just that she didn't expect that this daughter's lover was actually her fiancé's younger brother.

Mother Rose came over with oatmeal for everyone, and her daughter Loretta was stared at by her father strangely, and couldn't stand it anymore, "Don't look at me like that, Dad."

"Continue, continue to maintain this state." Ronald was behind the camera, very excited.He felt that this shooting was like a miracle, as if the god of film accidentally opened his eyes and looked at the studio in Toronto next year. go down.

If it is a continuous long shot, it will be great. The emotions of the actors are smooth, and the viewing experience of the audience will be much better.

"Hi, morning, Dad." Mother Rose heard Grandpa's voice coming downstairs.

The old man played by Fedor Chaliapin, with a dissatisfied face, walked slowly into the kitchen and found his seat.

"What's wrong, Dad." Father Cosmo saw that the old man's mental state was not right, and asked him what happened.

"I'm old, and when I'm old, I'm disgusted by others, and no one takes it seriously even if I speak."

Another camera was facing the old man's front, shooting from a slightly upward angle.

Fedor Chaliapin is very energetic in the upward shot, posing like a grandpa.

"Son, I gotta say, you're paying the bills for your only daughter's wedding. Your arrogance is destroying your family.

That's all I said, I'm done. "

After speaking, the old man pulled out the chair and sat down.

This is the first unexpected twist of the scene.No one thought that in the end, it was this old and confused grandfather who spoke up for his granddaughter and used the dignity of an old man to get his stingy son to agree to pay for his daughter's wedding.

He didn't pay for Loretta's first wedding!

"It's all right, Dad, I agree. If Loretta gets married, I'll pay for all the wedding expenses."

Vincent Gardenia's face, it's kind of funny on camera.The character of Cosmo is very scheming. He saw the relationship between his daughter and Ronnie just now, and knew that the marriage between Loretta and Johnny was likely to be cancelled, so there was no problem with talking about it.

Who would marry this hapless widow?

Loretta, played by Xueer, made a face at her father Cosmo. She knew what his father was thinking, but she was still very happy to agree to Grandpa's request.For a moment, I felt that being Castorini was worth it.

"Bravo, you just said the right thing, good, good!" Grandpa was very relieved, happy for his granddaughter Loretta, and excited that someone would listen to his words.

Mother Rose served a bowl of oatmeal for grandpa, and then went to the other end of the long table full of thoughts, and sat opposite her husband Cosmo at the two ends of the long table.

When everyone was eating oatmeal, maybe it was Cosmo's softness to the old man just now, or maybe it was the daughter's problem, which made mother Rose frown and looked at this big family.

Then she clasped her hands together, and asked her husband Cosmo at the other end of the table, Qifeng raised a question.

"Am I a good wife?"

Husband Cosmo looked up in surprise, he didn't know why Rose asked this suddenly, "Of course."

Rose got the answer she wanted, a smile appeared on her face, and then she returned to seriousness, word by word, and said the request she had wanted to say a long time ago:
"I hope you never see her again."

……

The sound of everyone scooping oatmeal on the plate with metal spoons suddenly stopped.

Cameras on either side of the table capture Loretta and Ronnie's reactions.Loretta covered her head. She talked with her mother Rose in the church, and Rose said that she knew that Cosmo had a lover outside.

Ronnie showed a curious look. It seemed that the affairs of the Castorini family were not much more chaotic than the Cammareri family.

Another camera is on the old man on the other side of the table.

Fyodor Chaliapin was so deaf that he did not hear Dukakis' lines at all.But everyone's reaction clearly told him that he had reached that point now.

He glanced left to see Cosmo's reaction, then to the right to see Ross's reaction.The old man still has to rely on his children to take care of him, so he dared not express himself, so he quickly bowed his head and drank porridge.

Ronald watched his father Cosmo react very well.

Ross neither asked Cosmo if he had a lover, nor asked who his lover was, how they met, and what they wanted to do now. Such a vulgar woman would ask questions.

Rose is very smart. After using the question of whether he is a good wife or not to live with her husband Cosmo, he directly asks Cosmo not to see that woman again.

Generally, a husband who is caught raping either denies it, denies it, or simply finds fault with his wife.But Cosmo just said that Rose is a good wife, and there are no such options.

The expression on his face was not so much embarrassment as shock.

All kinds of emotions flooded that chubby face. The actor Vincent Gardenia stood up slowly, looking at his wife's distressed face...

"Snapped!"

He suddenly slapped the table, he was proud of himself, a lover outside, a wife at home, the arrangement was very good.In the end, Ross understood everything, and his every move was under the control of his wife.

The old man was startled by his son's palm clap, and he suddenly fell back in surprise.It wasn't that he was frightened by the sound, but that Cosmo's palm was right next to his rice bowl.

Fyodor Chaliapin turned his back to the camera, his whole body was full of drama. After he was surprised, he couldn't hear what was going on, and leaned forward again with his upper body, continuing to eat porridge.

"Tsk..." Ronald curled his lips, he could steal the show with his back view.

"OK!" Cosmo slapped the table hard, but spoke softly.

"You still have to go to church to confess." Ross had a triumphant smile on his face, and her husband promised to cut off contact with his lover, and then went to church to confess his sins.In the Italian culture, this is tantamount to fully admitting that I have done something wrong, and I will never break up with that woman again.

Cosmo shook his head and smiled wryly, "One day a man will find that his life is based on nothingness."

Who can know that yesterday there was one at home and one outside, and today it is a dream that has been punctured like a piece of paper?
Olympia Dukakis's face suddenly became very excited, there were tears in her eyes, and her jaw trembled slightly because of the excitement.

Rose paused, gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart:

"Your life is not built on nothing..."

"Ti Amo (I love you in Italian)." Rose's voice was a little distorted, and he uttered the oath of Italian love.

"Anch'io Ti Amo (I love you too)", Cosmo was excited when he heard his wife's confession in a crying voice, as if he had returned to the time when he was standing downstairs in his wife's house when he was young.

Then he blew a kiss to his wife Rose, his voice trembling with excitement.

Rose felt her husband's true feelings, and suppressed the tears that were about to flow.

Loretta, played by Cher, didn't expect that there were side issues, which were originally her own problems, but suddenly her parents also came.

She rolled her eyes and looked at Ronnie beside her.

Ronnie immediately made a Ti Amo expression, causing Loretta to roll her eyes again.Love is there, what about the rest of Johnny.

"Zi..." The doorbell rang again.

"It's Johnny, I'll open the door." Loretta covered her face, she still had to face it after all.

"I'll go, I'll explain it to him." Ronnie felt sorry for his lover and wanted to open the door.

"No, no, I'll go." Loretta asked Ronnie to sit, and she looked at her father Cosmo, "How should I tell Johnny?"

The old man over there still looked at the family members with a puzzled expression, and moved his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to lower his head and continue drinking the porridge.

"To be honest, Loretta, they will know sooner or later." Father Cosmo said to his daughter based on his own experience and lessons.

"Oh...you're right, Ti Amo, Dad."

"Ti Amo, my little cookie."

Loretta was about to answer the door, but found it already opened, and there were Uncle Raymond and Aunt Rita standing there.

They both looked at Loretta as if something big had happened.

Aunt Rita looked at Loretta as if she had committed some serious crime, "Is there anything you want to tell us, dear."

Loretta looked puzzled, "No, what?"

Uncle Raymond took one look at his wife and decided to give his niece another chance. "We just got back from the bank."

"So?" Loretta was still puzzled, "Oh, my God, I forgot to deposit the cash from your store in the bank."

Loretta went to find the cash in her bag. She is the accountant of her uncle and aunt's shop. Yesterday was the day she sent the cash to the bank. On the way, she had a date with Ronnie to get her hair done, so she forgot about it.

"God, that's great, she still has the money."

Uncle and aunt walked towards Rose, "Yesterday was really a strange day..."

"We never suspected you, but yesterday was really weird."

"Sit down and have some coffee."

The family found out that it was a misunderstanding, just like the Italians, gesticulating exaggeratedly, expressing their unnecessary worries.

Aunt Rita was careful, she noticed that everyone's expressions were wrong, "So what are we doing?"

"Wait for someone, wait for Johnny to come." Mother Rose said to her.

Rita saw Ronnie, then looked at Loretta, and knew the young man was the problem.

"This is Johnny's brother, Ronnie Camareli," Ross hinted at sister-in-law Rita.

"Oh hello, I'm Rita Capomaggi"

Rita saw the unusual relationship between him and his niece. She looked at Ross with a questioning look in her eyes. Isn't your daughter engaged to Johnny?
Ross gave you the right look back.

Rita looked at Cosmo again, and Cosmo nodded.

Then there's Loretta, and Loretta makes a face.

The last one was the confused old man grandpa, he looked left and right, everyone was silent in embarrassment, the atmosphere in the air gradually solidified, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he complained, "Come and tell me a joke."

No one spoke, only Ronnie was moved by the old man's sense of humor and laughed out loud.No one agreed with him, and it was a bit embarrassing for a while.

"Zi..."

The doorbell finally rang.

Aunt Rita, who felt that everything was wrong today, went to open the door.

"Johnny Cammareri," Rita announced.

"Hey, hey..." Johnny laughed a few times before entering the door, he was always so cautious.

"Loretta?" Johnny was startled when he saw Loretta, who was completely different from before.

"Ronnie?" Johnny was continuously surprised today, "Are you here to reconcile with me? Ronnie?"

"Yes, but it may not be what you want." Ronnie stood up and said to his brother, he was here to snatch the bride.

"Of course I want to reconcile with you." Johnny looked at Ronnie, thinking that he had agreed to attend his wedding, and was a little relieved.

"Didn't you say your mother was dying of illness? How did she get better?" Loretta asked Johnny.

"I told her I was getting married and she was fine. It was a miracle," Johnny replied.

"Of course it's a miracle." Ronnie knew very well that the mother back home in Palermo, Sicily, always liked to manipulate her son's behavior in this way.

"Johnny, I have something to tell you." Loretta stood up, and she decided to face the situation she had created and use her father Cosmo's strategy to tell the truth.

"Loretta, I also have something to tell you, but can you come out and we can talk alone?" Johnny also had something to say.

"No, I want to be with my family. If you have something to say, just say it here."

Danny Aiello, who plays Johnny, is also a character actor on Broadway. He looked at Cher, and solemnly said what was in his heart:

"Loretta, I can't marry you."

"Huh...huh?" Xueer's expression changed, which was very good.These words were beyond Loretta's expectation.

"If I marry you, my mother will die." Johnny is very superstitious. He has a personal experience of Loretta's bad luck. Because his mother almost died because of his engagement, he rushed to break the engagement.

"What are you talking about?" Loretta was puzzled.

"What are you talking about?" Ronnie was dissatisfied, Johnny was willing to divorce, isn't it just right?
"I promise again, and he made a promise, and here's the engagement ring," Loretta showed Ronnie and Johnny the engagement ring on her middle finger.

"My mother almost died, and now she's fine again, I can't marry you."

"Oh, Johnny, you are 42 years old, and you are still controlled by her." Ronnie couldn't stand his brother being controlled by his mother.

"What about you? You are a son who doesn't love his mother." Johnny was particularly dissatisfied with his younger brother's rebellion against his mother.

"What about you? You big liar, I have a ring here as proof, you proposed to me, but now you want to go back on your word."

"Loretta, I have to get my ring back."

"You... alright", Loretta took off the ring and threw it on Johnny, "The engagement is cancelled!"

Johnny didn't catch the ring and fell to the ground. He was also very angry. He didn't expect to encounter such fierce abuse, "You will understand later, Loretta, this is the best for you." Johnny pointed at Loretta. Reta said.

Loretta was irritated by Johnny's gesture of fingering himself, "When you burp, I will go to your funeral in red."

The mentality of both of them collapsed, and they began to scold each other sentence by sentence.

"Loretta," Ronnie said suddenly.

"What?!"

"Will you marry me?"

"What?" Johnny, who had just picked up the ring, knelt on the ground and raised his head. He heard a strange sentence. His younger brother Ronnie actually proposed to his ex-fiancee, Loretta.

"Where's the ring? Where's the ring for the proposal?" Loretta was dissatisfied. The two brothers didn't prepare a ring for the proposal.

"Johnny, can you lend me the ring?" Ronnie asked his brother for the ring.

Johnny looked at his younger brother and then at Loretta. Although he was extremely embarrassed, he still wanted to reconcile with his younger brother. After hesitating for a few seconds, he handed the ring to his younger brother.

"Loretta Castorini, will you marry me?"

Loretta's face turned from cloudy to sunny, "Yes, Ronnie, with the witness of my family, I am willing to marry you."

"Oh, Loretta, do you love him?" Mother Rose saw that her daughter was deeply in love.

"Yes, I love him very much."

"Oh, it's too bad." Rose lowered his head and smiled wryly, loving a man often has to forgive his shameful shortcomings. "

"Did you hear that? She loves me." Ronnie let go of his thoughts. He hoped that Loretta would marry him because of love.

The two embraced happily, looked at each other for a while, and then began to kiss.

The camera on the other side began to shoot at the old man.

The old man wiped his eyes tremblingly with a tissue, as if crying.

"What's the matter with you, Dad?" Cosmo asked.

Fyodor Chaliapin put down the tissue. "I'm confused."

Cosmo nodded, everyone would be confused.

"Cut!"

"Cut! Cut!"

Ronald called a halt to filming.

The actors seemed to have stopped for more than ten seconds, unable to believe that such a difficult scene was over in just one.

Seeing David Watkin, Ronald gave himself an OK gesture, "It's over, let's eat."

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and all the actors hadn't eaten, so Ronald hurriedly asked his assistant to bring the meals.

"Um...", Ronald's own stomach also made a loud sound.

"Hahaha……"

The actors began to applaud, expressing their happiness for such a wonderful play.

"How did you do it? Ronald." Olympia Dukakis played very well. This scene sings and sighs three times, with multiple reversal plots, and the rivalry between the actors is also very exciting.Even on Broadway, not every performance can be performed so vividly.

"Maybe the movie gods answered my prayers and opened their eyes and looked down at us." Ronald didn't know why it went so smoothly.Maybe it's because the actor's previous state is just right, maybe it's because everyone has been hungry for a long time, and they all want to show their best performance as soon as possible after filming and eating.

Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that everyone was playing at their best.

The actors all ate something, but Ronald was not free to eat. He and the technicians of the crew began to rearrange the camera positions.Immediately afterwards, Ronald directed the last scene of the film.

The camera looks in just by the kitchen door, and inside is a family popping champagne to celebrate Loretta and Ronnie's engagement.

Everyone added a sugar cube to the champagne, in Italian tradition, and toasted.

Johnny sat alone and was unhappy, but the old man brought him a glass of champagne, "Johnny, come on, for the big family, don't you understand? We are all part of the big family."

"For the family!"

"For the family!"

Johnny was not happy, so he raised his glass to celebrate with everyone.

The wine glasses were bumped together, Ronald and David Watkin stepped back together, and the camera slowly exited the dining room and into the hallway of the living room.

The camera slowly turned around and took pictures of the group photo on the wall.

There were pictures of Loretta as a child, Cosmo and Ross getting married, and Ross and his older brother Raymond as children.

The camera continued to move to the right, and finally stopped on a group photo, which was the first photo of the old man's parents after they immigrated to America from Palermo, Sicily.

The two elderly people in the photo seem to be smiling gratifiedly as they look at the house full of children and grandchildren.

The camera zooms in slowly...

"Cut!"

"Oh my God. It's finally done."

Ronald finally let go of his thoughts, only feeling dizzy for a while, as if he hadn't eaten at noon, and the high-intensity mental work in the afternoon had brought sequelae.

Unlike actors who can go to the trailer to add some snacks at any time, and the director of photography also takes time to eat and catch up on sleep, Ronald has been thinking about the shooting with high tension.

The high-intensity pressure was suddenly released, and Ronald felt his eyes go dark, and the low blood sugar made him stagger and almost fell down.

"Are you all right?" David Watkin gave him a hand.

"Give me a sugar cube, I seem to be hypoglycemic."
