I’m in Hollywood

ps: Watch the exclusive story behind I Am Hollywood, listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the Qidian Chinese official account (add friends on WeChat - add a public account - enter qdread), and tell me quietly! After initially intending to let Nicole play the heroine of Sleepless in Seattle, Eric also auditioned the girl. Although Nicole also met his requirements, it was far from the current state. . And this time, Nicole has turned herself into another person, an Annie Reid exactly like the script.

It seems that Nicole did not indulge in the scenery after winning the heroine of Sleepless in Seattle during this time, and must have put a lot of effort into trying to figure out this role in private. In Hollywood, as an actor, after all, you still have to speak with acting skills. Compared with many beautiful actresses who can't extricate themselves from the scenery of vases, Nicole obviously understood this early.

Hearing Eric's compliment, the girl showed a happy expression, and then carefully probed: Eric, can I make my lips lighter?

Eric looked at the girl's red lip gloss and looked at the two makeup artists. He didn't remember what was going on for a while.

An older makeup artist hurriedly explained: Mr Williams, this is what we did for Miss Kidman according to the original makeup photo. I also suggested that Miss Kidman's lip tone should be lighter, but It seems that you personally vetoed the proposal.

Eric thought about it,

Immediately: Oh, I remember it, this is just right, no need to adjust.

However, it looks very unnatural. The younger makeup artist said weakly.

This is what I want. Eric explained: If this flaw is repaired, Nicole will look too perfect. Don't forget that Annie Reid is a heartless woman in life. How can such a woman dress herself perfectly, and there are some shortcomings that are more in line with her character.

Hear what Eric said. All three nodded thoughtfully.

Eric continued: I know that you are all very professional makeup artists, but don't forget that you are modeling for actors, so your job is not to dress up the actors perfectly, but to make them beautiful regardless of beauty or ugliness. Create the actor's image as much as possible according to the director's request.

Thank you for your advice, Mr. Williams, we got it. The older makeup artist nodded hurriedly.

Because of adequate preparation. Nicole's shot was barely ng, so the shot of Sam and Annie's first meeting at Alki Beach was done quickly. After a few more airport shots in the next few days, Nicole can temporarily leave the crew as long as she wants.

As usual, the crew did not shoot any complicated scenes on the first day, except for the encounter between Sam and Annie, which were basically the scenes where Sam played with his son.

In order to be able to play the image of father and son with the little actor Victor Morris, Hanks started to get along with the little guy a week ago, so when the shooting started. There is no gap between the two. Just after the first day of running in, the 'father and son' have already entered the state, plus time does not allow the crew to progress step by step. The next day, the crew started a more complicated scene. Of course, problems also follow.

The background of the camera is Jonah revealing the address of his home to the radio station, so Sam soon receives courtship letters from all over the United States.

There was a large pile of mail on the dining table in the living room. Jonah picked up a random copy and opened it, and read: Dear Seattle, you are the most attractive man I have ever heard, poof...

The little guy pouted and threw the letter aside. Reaching out to open another envelope.

Before Hanks could say his lines, Eric stopped again. Because the boy's expression didn't have the funny look he should have, but a nervous look on his face. His eyes couldn't help but look around.

Making a gesture to the others, Eric said, Forget it, let's rest for a while, Victor, come over, let's talk.

Mr. Director, did I not do well again? The little guy jumped out of the chair and came to Eric's side, asking a little nervously.

Although it was only five times, but from the third time, the boy became cringe. Seeing this situation, Eric stopped filming decisively. He knew that forcing the filming would definitely cause more pressure on the boy's heart, and it might even make the little guy not confident to continue acting.

Hearing Victor's words, Eric shook his head quickly: No no no, you have done a good job, but you haven't done your best yet. Do you want to be the best one?

Victor nodded fiercely: Of course, when I grow up, I also want to win an Oscar.

Well, he is a good boy with ambition, but the Oscar is not so easy to win. The one who can stand on the Oscar podium and take over the statue is the best one.

Then what should I do? Victor asked expectantly. While Eric was persuading him, the little guy temporarily relaxed and sat beside him under Eric's beckoning.

The crew knew that Eric was teaching the little guy to act in his own way. In order not to affect the two of them, most of them left the room consciously. There were only a few staff members left in the room, and they were all light-hearted. Lightly.

Hanks also pulled up another chair at this time and sat down on the other side of the little guy with a smile. This action made Victor more at ease. After all, compared to Eric, Hanks, who had been with him for more than a week, brought him a more sense of security.

Eric rubbed the boy's head and smiled: It's very simple, that is, you should not be discouraged when you encounter a failure, just like the filming just now, since the filming was not good this time, let's do it a few more times. But because one or two times I didn’t shoot well, I became unconfident, and a person could never improve again.”

The boy nodded, seemingly realizing something, but then he picked his fingers and said in a low voice, However, seeing so many uncles and aunties wasting their time because of me, I feel a little worried when I think about this, and I'm afraid they will get angry. .

No. You're wrong, Eric said. You're getting paid for acting, too. They're also getting paid. Besides, they're not the same as you. Their pay is time-based. Calculated. The longer you spend shooting, the more wages they get, so they are actually very happy. Eric said, pointing to the camera with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, who was changing film for the camera. Nickel: Nickel, you are very happy now, aren't you?

Nickel released the stoked smile, nodded and smiled: Of course, little guy, you can try as much as you want. The more shots we take, the happier we will be. Of course, we can't deliberately smash the shots, because that's the way Mr. Director It will definitely be seen, then we still can't get paid.

Eric glared at Nikkor to stop the other party from continuing to talk nonsense, and then said to Victor: Then, tell me about your performance, Victor, have you seen Home Alone?

Of course, Kevin and the two stupid thieves, but unfortunately I only watched it once. Mom won't take me there anymore. Mr. Director, Mom said that the movie was directed by you, then our current movie will be like Little Ghost Is it as fun as being at home?

That's for sure. So, if you play it well, kids in America will adore you in the future just as they adore Kevin.

The boy immediately showed a look of longing, although he didn't quite understand what Eric said, because he hadn't learned the meaning of the word 'worship', but the little guy instinctively felt that being worshipped by children all over the United States must be a great thing. Great thing.

In order to prevent the boy from taking the topic away again, Eric added: Since you have seen Home Alone, you must remember Kevin's appearance in that movie, and you are going to play the role of Jonah. Just like Kevin is about the same. You just played it wrong, when you read the letter. You should be a little more funny, grinning. Staring, by the way, do you make faces?

Wow— The little guy immediately hooked the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes and made a grimace.

Eric patted the boy's shoulder: Well done, then, wait for you to do this...

Ten minutes later, filming resumed.

Still the same pile of letters, the little guy opened a letter and read it as usual: Dear Mr. Sleepless in Seattle, you are the most attractive man I have ever heard of, poof...

cut! Eric called out subconsciously, but immediately realized that something was wrong.

He had just built up his self-confidence for the little guy, and he originally thought that he would at least wait for the boy to finish the scene completely, and then talk about other things. But seeing that the boy's expression was not in place, Eric instinctively called out, but it was too late to take it back.

The boy looked over again with uneasiness in his bright eyes. Eric had an idea and grabbed a baseball cap next to him and threw it at Nikkor, who was not far away, just hitting the innocent photographer in the face: Nikkle , you idiot, such a good shot was screwed up by the shaking of your camera.

Eric snarled and squeezed his eyes a few times at Nikkor. Although he was lying on the ground and was shot, the poor photographer didn't dare to pretend that he didn't understand what Eric meant, so he had to apologize with a smile: I'm sorry. , Director, this is really an accident, I must pay attention next time, forgive me?

I'll let you go this time, and next time I dare to do this, I'll... deduct your salary. Eric said through gritted teeth, and in a blink of an eye, he changed his amiable appearance and said to the boy, Victor, it's not strange this time. You, Nikkor screwed up the camera, you see, adults make mistakes too, so don't be nervous, shall we continue?

Well, Mr. Director, the little guy nodded vigorously.

Perhaps it was because of the 'encouragement' that adults can make mistakes. Although I ng it a few times, this shot passed smoothly.

And since he found that this method can stimulate the self-confidence of the little guy, Eric immediately found out a few 'idiots', and even Hanks followed suit a few times. What followed was that the boy's performance progressed rapidly. (A good event to drop pie in the sky, the cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
