Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Claire and Romeo

There are quite a few rumors among the crew of “Romeo and Juliet” about Claire, the parachute male lead.

As everyone knows, the heroine Claire Danes was selected after two interviews. Even the main supporting actor, John Leguizamo, was selected openly.

Where did this male protagonist with the same name as the heroine come from?

Some staff members have watched “Baywatch” and said that he guest-starred in several episodes and played a supporting role in that show. This arouses everyone’s doubts even more. Suddenly jumped from a supporting role in a TV series to the protagonist of a movie?

Although this movie is not as good as an S+-level large-scale production, it is still an A-level movie production scale. What method was used?

Is he the kid from a Fox executive? Or the kid who climbed to the top of Fox?

…

Of course, these rumors cannot reach Claire’s ears.

It was Claire’s assistant Martin who came over and said it secretly. Precisely because he looks so ordinary, so ordinary that no one pays attention to him.

Therefore, Martin gained a ‘passive invisibility’ skill.

After listening to Martin’s report, Claire was silent for a while, then turned around and said: “Martin, just listen silently. Don’t make any moves. It’s normal for people to misunderstand me. There are no gossips in this world.” Quite a bit.”

“Yeah!” Martin pursed his lips and nodded silently.

“There is no need to make any counterattack or refute rumors. I jumped out on my own initiative, but they saw the joke and said that I was guilty.” Claire was afraid that Martin would not understand what she meant, so she continued to instruct: “I just need to perform the play well. Use your strength to suppress them. Naturally, those false rumors will dissipate.”

What is not mentioned is that after Roxy comes to the set a few times, these people who don’t know the truth will definitely understand. He relied on thick thighs, very thick thighs. Hahaha~ I have a backer and I am proud!

…

Claire pretends she knows nothing. Do what you have to do and don’t let others get involved.

He is very busy. In addition to completing his roles, he also has to find time to go to swimming training.

In order to give all the crew members a chance to show off, Claire used the [infinite replay] function in her first scene against him to superimpose Leon’s charm on her own.

In that banquet scene. The aura exuded by Claire or Romeo almost overshadowed the other actors in the audience. Even the heroine pales in front of him.

Director Baz Luhrmann stood behind the monitor, looking at Claire’s face in the camera, and was lost for a moment.

Even if my movie is poorly shot, there will still be people watching it in his face, right? Baz Luhrmann began to think wildly.

“Cut!” the director shouted.

“Claire, it’s great! But you should tone down your momentum a little bit~” Baz Luhrmann didn’t want this either, but Claire’s momentum was a bit unbalanced compared to others, which was detrimental to the movie.

“Okay, director!” Claire nodded in agreement.

“Come on! Keep going! Action!”

This time, Claire calmed down a little. It was purely intentional on his part. This scene is not difficult and does not require excessive exertion.

The heroine Claire Danes is only one year older than Claire, only 16. She has a relatively calm personality and is not like the usual big American girl who makes a fuss. She was born in a literary family in New York and is very cultured.

As Romeo and Juliet in the play, there are a lot of antagonistic scenes. But the relationship between Claire and Denise is still light, they are just ordinary colleagues.

It’s completely different from the time when she was filming “Baywatch”. Claire had a good time with Derrick, Judy, and Aphra, and they often had private dinners together.

A few months ago, on the set of “Billy Elliot”, everyone had a very harmonious relationship. Maybe it was the British ‘food’ that brought us closer together, right? Laugh~… # [Night

· Banquet Hall]

The camera captured the scene where Romeo and Juliet met for the first time and looked at each other affectionately across the glass fish tank. The staff who were watching couldn’t help but took a deep breath together. A classic scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman!

The camera lens was close to the side of Claire’s face, and the ends of his hair were wet with sweat from running.

The lens from across the glass water tank was taken, and the soft water curtain acted as a soft light filter. Claire’s face seemed to be glowing, looking so affectionately at Juliet opposite.

…

While Claire was resting, she also analyzed the movie and the character of Romeo in detail in the [Infinite Replay] space of the system.

Whether Americans or British, everyone is too familiar with this drama. Since Shakespeare wrote this classic tragedy in the 16th century, it has been adapted to the stage and the big screen.

Everyone enjoyed it and performed it over and over again.

As director and screenwriter Baz Luhrmann, the innovation he made was to move the story background to modern times, and even more radically, to a South American background full of Latin flavor.

This is both an innovation and an adventure.

Moreover, Baz Luhrmann, as the screenwriter, also retained Shakespeare’s awkward and anachronistic dialogue. There is a huge contrast with the modern background.

If it is not handled well, it will cause abnormal discomfort to the Chinese and Italians, just like the Japanese put strawberries in Mapo tofu or the Hawaiians put fruits in pizza.

Claire believed that her performance should be more dramatic, using her performance as a lubricant to offset the strong friction between the 16th-century Shakespeare and the South American Latin background.

Romeo, who was born in Verona Beach, shouldn’t really be directly shaped into a native South American version of “Romeo”. Such a person spits lines from Shakespeare, which makes the movie’s sense of fragmentation even worse. .

Claire decided that when performing, her body movements could be more dramatic. To put it simply, the range of motion needs to be a little exaggerated and a little dramatic. Reading Shakespeare’s lines this way makes it less intolerable.

Claire went to director Baz Luhrmann and shared her views privately.

Listening to Claire’s analysis, Baz Luhrmann’s intuition made some sense, but he couldn’t be sure.

“Claire, you can experiment with a few scenes tomorrow.” The reason why Baz Luhrmann tinkered with this rebellious script was somewhat experimental.

“Okay, director!” Claire nodded.

…

The next day, the pool scene.

In this scene, Romeo fell in love with Juliet at first sight and was reluctant to leave. He ran around the manor looking for the girl who captured his heart. After finding it, the two accidentally fell into the swimming pool together. Then there were kisses and heartfelt exchanges.

The lines and love words in this paragraph can be said to be extremely disgusting. Especially to modern people, Shakespeare’s lines may even seem a bit earthy.
