[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

"Did you rest well last night?" Frank glanced at the boy who was combing his hair, whose back was facing him, blocking the mirror in the bathroom.

"Not bad, thanks to Carlo." Vincent put down his comb and walked out. His hair was just combed softly, and the blond hair without hairspray stayed obediently according to their original arc, which made The boy looked immaculately clean.

"There is something that may be presumptuous, but I still want to ask for Carlo."

Vincent faced the serious face of the manager, and then nodded. It was obvious that he knew what his manager was going to ask.

On the way to the set, Frank and Vincent talked all the way about Carlo's professional issues and the research he is doing now.Although Vincent is not a sports medicine major, he had some experience with it in the last dimension.As far as the sports medicine technology at the beginning of the 21st century is concerned, it is far less developed than in his dimension.But the plan Carlo revealed to Frank made Vincent feel familiar.

If it weren't for Mark's inability to bear the anesthetic, maybe everything would be fine.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Vincent is not Mark himself. Although things seem to be turning around, the risks of future surgery are not easy to bear - the final decision is still in the hands of Mark and his family.

"Honestly speaking, this thing is a bit difficult to push." ​​Vincent looked at the big turntable used to walk the horses every day, and tried to push the crossbar. He was wearing some old riding clothes and was carrying a A dark brown felt hat suppressed the golden hair, and he was wearing a pair of riding boots. The tight-fitting pants perfectly elongated the boy's legs.

Gary Rose was adjusting the equipment with several staff members of the camera crew. When he heard the lead actor's muttering, he suddenly burst out laughing: "You didn't push this! What a fool—"

The other staff members also laughed, and Vincent realized what kind of stupid mistake he had made—this big turntable is indeed not for him to push, he just needs to hold the rein on the horse and let the horse turn around by itself. Just pull the turntable and slide around.

Thinking of this, Vincent's ears turned red from embarrassment.Fortunately, a loud snort saved him.

The horse trainer brought in a group of dark gray horses. This is a purebred with a bloodline no less than that of "Sea Biscuit". The maintenance and insurance costs spent on them every year are no less than that of a high-end sports car.

"Her name is Sandia, and she is a thoroughbred horse born in the same year as Sherlock. Of course, her temper is no less than Sherlock's. She is a very proud little girl." The horse trainer led Sandia to Vincennes In front of Te, "Come on, say hello to her!"

Vincent patted the dust on the gloves, took them off and put them aside, stared at Sandia's big brown eyes, and slowly put his palms close to the top of the little girl's head. He lifted his eyelids, blinked his long eyelashes, and didn't resist the hand placed on top of his head.

The horse trainer praised with a smile: "Sandia is very well-behaved today, and she is very upset when ordinary men touch her."

Speaking of this, Sandia snorted again, twisted her head slightly, and the long tail behind her also swayed.As a beautiful horse girl, she also has aesthetics!

"Vincent and the animals are still very close." Gary Rose adjusted the shots of each camera position, and after confirming that the preparations were completed, he began to prepare for the next shooting.

This is a typical Gary Ross-style long shot, walking from one end of the stable to the other. In just a few tens of seconds, Reid, who is about to have nowhere to go, has to convince a boss who is paramount in his interests.

Red scurried from left to right, trying to give this gentleman who might change his predicament a look at his "brilliant resume", "Look, I once participated in Roche's competition and won No.2 in Tijuana , I have won against Man Shibei, and there is a bonus!"

A long list of introductions in exchange for a "I know." So what?He has better jockeys.

Rhett was poor at words, and the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became. He said "I, I, I" several times, pulled his hair, and said through gritted teeth: "I could have won in Tijuana too. , but that horse is too bad..."

The man patted Rhett's shoulder and said perfunctorily, "Very well, I will let you know."

Facing the disguised rejection, Reid stood in front of the man directly, "Listen to me, I... I can take them to exercise early in the morning."

The man's attitude was slightly hesitant. This was not originally a job that a jockey should do, but if the young man in front of him could do it, it meant that he could save a lot of labor costs.We must know that the current economic depression is not easy to make money.

Rhett struck while the iron was hot, and continued to back down: "Well, if you need, I can also take them to warm up."

"Are you really willing to work so hard?"

Rhett opened his mouth, heaved a short sigh of relief, pursed his lips, looked at the other party with his pair of blue eyes and replied: "Yes, I am willing."

"cut—"

The large section of dialogue and positioning just now were unmistakable. As soon as Gary Rose called out, the props team and equipment team immediately began to work on the set for the next scene. It was also near this stable. The place to warm up and warm up the racehorses is the big turntable slightly modified by the crew.

"I will trouble you to listen to my thoughts later, Sandia." Vincent touched the little girl, and the proud horse girl raised her head slightly and rubbed against his palm.

Everything went smoothly to shoot here, but finally got stuck.

Sandia seemed to dislike Vincent's speed in circles. She wanted to walk side by side with this handsome man, but once this happened, the camera couldn't capture a perfect shot.

Walking and walking, the distance that was originally short of a horse and a half was shortened directly. Sandia pressed against Vincent tightly, stepping with four long legs, and even tilted her head from time to time. A rub on Vincent's shoulder.

Vincent muttered in a low voice while circling: "This is great, my dream has come true, I will take you for a walk..." He had just sighed when Sandia responded in a low voice, as if echoed his answer.

"Hang up the plow for you, and let you take me around!" At this point, Sandia quickened her small steps, rubbing against Vincent's side, looking at him with big eyes, as if Said: "Let's go, let's go for a walk!"

It wasn't until this scene was shot three times that the little girl was sure that Vincent didn't intend to take her out for a walk at all, so she kept an indifferent expression the whole time, and casually walked around in circles following the rhythm of the turntable.

"Sandia is angry, I always think she understands people's language." Vincent went back to rest, Frank pushed him on the seat, and the makeup artist had to remake his makeup.

"Of course, after all, she lived with people since she was a child, so it's not surprising that she can understand." Frank replied casually.

Sandia is not a wild horse, her birth is all through careful bloodline calculations to ensure that the pure blood that exists in Sandia's body can bring the best genes.For horses like this that are specially trained to become racehorses, the trainers and jockeys are the most contacted in daily life.

For the instructions of these two types of people, the horse will not only respond quickly, but also form a tacit understanding between the horse and man after a long period of training. This tacit understanding will bring joy to the jockey and the horse on the racetrack glory.

For Sandia, a spoiled little girl, Vincent took her to the racecourse for two laps after her role was over, and did not come back amidst everyone's teasing until the little girl was well coaxed. lounge.

"No way, Vincent is too much for the ladies." Jeff Bree, who plays the horse trainer Tom Smith in the movie, took off his hat and fanned the wind vigorously in front of him.Although it was a joke, everyone present agreed with him.

Among all the actors in this film, Vincent is the one who has the rarest cooperation with the animal actors.Whether other actors are in training camp or when the filming is officially started, there will be more or less discordant places in the cooperation with the horses, and there are even tragic experiences of being knocked off the horse's back by a hot-tempered horse.

From this point of view, Vincent's animal relationship is indeed very good.

"The filming cycle of this movie has been delayed a bit, where is your school?" Frank took out the itinerary and asked hesitantly. Seeing that Vincent didn't answer him right away, the agent continued, "But you also Don't worry too much about the time, the production team is planning to cut and shoot while filming the winter scenes, and it will be released before the summer vacation next year."

"That is to say, there will probably be a period of rest in the middle?"

Frank was not very sure, "I can't tell. After all, the budget of the crew is limited every day, and the cost of 8000 million has to be spent where it should be spent. Even if nothing is done that day, the money is still spent."

To give the simplest example, even if these Uncle Ma and girls don’t need to be on camera every day, they still need to pay the expensive rent during their period, as well as the various artificial services that come with them: nutritionists, trainers, and even animals psychological counselor.

Equipment, venues and various expenses are accumulated together, so why not spend the $8000 million budget?And that doesn't even include the various publicity and PR that follow up after the film is made.

And this huge $8000 million budget is only a small part of it left to pay the actors' salaries-at least as far as Vincent's "unknown" little transparency is concerned, his salary is not even as good as a person who appears in the movie. Thoroughbred horses cost a few tens of seconds.

"The Pentium Era" was signed with Universal Pictures before Vincent was nominated for best actor in two film festivals, so no matter how uncomfortable Frank felt, he accepted the salary.He has the absolute right to speak in the United Elite, so even if he has a Vincent with a salary of only 200 million or so, no one above will dare to throw any nonsense advertisement for him to audition.

But now, the United Elite has seen the potential in Vincent, and has the same attitude as Flack for Mr. Landmore's future development path—do not work hard, rather give up.

In a place where opportunities are rare like Hollywood, transformation is a difficult thing that can almost be linked to reshaping.It would be great if a certain general perception is formed at the very beginning, if it is positive and can develop in the long run, but the initial image is too one-sided and short-sighted, and it will be more difficult to move forward.

Frank kept this truth in mind all the time.Vincent's career is not only his own career, but also his Frank Dawson's career.

Hollywood Diary (21)

Arrogant and unruly creatures are always easy to make people take the lead in compromising.

For proud people, they are used to this attitude.

And people who are used to changing themselves first to adapt to others are often more soft-hearted.Even if the proud person shows weakness a little bit, they are very happy——

There are people who enjoy the pleasure of being in control, and there are people who enjoy being dominated.
