Chapter 37

Rhea didn't have to wait long when Malloy walked over to tell her the results of the Juliet audition, the quickest audition she'd ever gotten the answer to.

The other two girls were also notified, and inevitably there was some regret and frustration on their faces, knowing that Juliet was Rhea's.

Claire Danes' agent soon showed up and took her away.

Unlike Claire, Rebecca Hall was brought here by her mother. When Rhea saw Rebecca's mother, Maria Alvin, she was surprised to find that this lady who should have had nothing to do with herself Seems to dislike her very much.

It looks like the other person is the one who called Teresa Thicke.

But this time, no matter how deep Maria's background is, it is impossible for her to revise the decision made by the production director, investors and actors' union representatives.

What's more, Maria's network of contacts is rooted in the UK, and Hollywood will not be the home of her soprano.

Last time, she had to press those bad thoughts because of the sudden appearance of Prince William, and then Rhea became popular at Brighton Rodin girls' school because of Romeo, and the American girl suddenly became the most popular girl in the British girls' school It is not appropriate for Maria to do what she wants to do.

And now that Rhea has returned to the United States, it is impossible for Maria to stretch her hand so long.

But seeing the man who overshadowed her daughter and now took away the audition she worked so hard to get for Rebecca, Maria couldn't have a good impression of Rhea anyway.

"Let's go, Lil, we will have a better chance, now you can study Rodin for a few more years with peace of mind." Maria wanted to take Rebecca away after a few words of comfort, but she His daughter broke free and walked towards Rhea who was staying in the waiting room.

Walking in front of Rhea, Rebecca took a deep breath before saying what she had been thinking for a long time. The tall Malloy put some pressure on her, "This time Juliet is a fair competition, and it's fair for you to win."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Rhea didn't intervene, just listening to Rebecca continue: "But I won't lose to you forever."

The brown-haired and brown-eyed Jewish girl has beautiful and gentle features, but her big round eyes are full of competitiveness. It is better to be unwilling than resigned to fate, and honesty is better than hypocrisy. Rhea accepted Rebecca's confidant challenge book.

"Good luck to us all."

Looks like that shady way of getting Juliet

Love left a lot of shadows on Rebecca herself, and it was a good thing that she was able to break free, but Rhea didn't agree with Rebecca's views.

This is indeed fair competition, but is it fair?

Actually it's not fair at all, if Andri Witter didn't break the news to Rhea, if she and Malloy didn't know anyone in director Baz Luhrmann's circle, she wouldn't even be able to walk through the door of this audition room go in.

When she was a newcomer, Rhea's competition for Annabelle in "Lolita" still needed Malloy to operate, Rebecca is also a Hollywood newcomer now, this British girl's resume is even blanker than Rhea's , but after her father's recommendation, Rebecca was able to audition for the leading role directly.

There is no absolute fairness. What Rhea can do is to use her own strength to make up for the gaps caused by those connections and identity backgrounds.

Waving goodbye to Rebecca, Rhea knew she had matured.

If she really wanted to enter Hollywood to develop her acting career, then Rebecca's mentality of belittling American accents definitely needed to be corrected. In the small film and television center in that place, only Americans discriminated against foreigners.

"You know her?" Malloy asked Rhea after everyone was gone.

Smelling the smell of cigarettes on the manager, Rhea frowned subconsciously, "The girl I met at the exchange school." She didn't want to talk about the grievances between those little girls, and it was nothing important.

Noticing Rhea's frown, Malloy touched his nose, "I've already gone out for a walk, is the smell of cigarettes still strong?"

"It's okay, but you should smoke less, Matthew." Rhea persuaded jokingly, "I don't want to visit you in the hospital when I'm 20."

Malloy didn't think so, he was even immune to Rhea's Matthew, "I think I'm much healthier than those who sit in the office all the time."

The man straightened his suit, and he will be able to discuss conditions with the crew later. If the filming encounters problems and delays, Baz Luhrmann will no longer be willing to procrastinate, so it will be more beneficial to them, "Yes Yes, "Lolita" has found a distribution company."

"So fast?"

In fact, Rhea thought that the production and distribution of the film would not be completed until the end of the year at the earliest. She did not expect that the film would be completed so quickly and wait for release.

"In May, Mario Caesar sent the film to the Cannes Film Festival side-market exhibition." This is not surprising, the film already has

A joint venture of a French production company, the partner of Mario's own studio met him at the Cannes Film Festival in 75.

But Mario didn't have many contacts in the European Film Awards, and it was more practical to find a distribution company than to compete for those marginal awards, so he didn't declare for the awards, but participated in the Cannes Film Market Exhibition.

If he hadn't invested too much in this film and had a certain degree of confidence, Mario would not have been so cautious in finding a suitable distributor at the film festival.

"Which film company is it?"

Rhea became curious, and Malloy didn't let it go. "Coincidentally, it is the investor of this movie, [-]th Century Fox Film Company, who bought the distribution rights of "Lolita."

"That's really a coincidence." Recalling the first movie she shot here, Rhea was thoughtful. She didn't ask for specific details. It was a matter between Mario's Carlock Productions and Fox, so she asked For the things most closely related to me, "Do you know when the movie will be released?"

Malloy shook his head: "I don't know yet, but you should finish filming this movie first. We earned money by being able to receive such a role with a different image before "Lolita" was released."

Hearing Malloy's words, Rhea also agreed with her heart. Although "Lolita" has not been released, it means that she still cannot regard this movie as a masterpiece, but if it is released first, Buzz Luhrmann saw it again, and Rhea really didn't know if she could get this Juliet audition.

What the final film of "Lolita" will look like, Rhea doesn't know, but she can be sure that it will be completely different from what she remembers.

In the auditions she has participated in, "Lolita" and "Jumanji" are both movies that Rhea has seen in the original version before, but this Leonardo DiCaprio starring "Romeo and Juliet, she hadn't read it.

The only Romeo movie that Rhea has seen is the version directed by Franco, in which Juliet is played by Olivia Hussey. The pearl headband is very impressive. When she played Juliet in college, she imitated Olivia's dress to act.

If she hadn't had a little impression of the director Luhrmann who made "Moulin Rouge" later, Rhea would have thought that this was a movie that she didn't have in her previous world.

A post-modern "Romeo and Juliet", which is indeed different.

To show Zhu

Lie's elegance, they wanted to lengthen her hair at first, and Rhea's shoulder-length blond hair was too neat.

But the stylist had trouble finding a wig that matched Rhea's hair color.

"It's really rare to have blond hair of this color, blond hair usually gets darker when people grow up, or it's a lighter platinum blond, but this kind of natural golden blond hair—" the hair stylist gently grabbed Rhea's hair Roots, showing the exact same color at the roots and ends of her hair, "may need to be custom made."

"Get her a wig first and let me see the effect." Luhrmann is very patient at this time, he hopes to create a perfect Juliet, "find a long one."

Quietly letting the hairstylist operate, Rhea was very cooperative, and when they brushed her hair back, she stood up and walked to the director to show the effect.

The lengthened hair let down and softened Rhea's appearance and temperament. The stylist found her a light blonde hair. The golden color was a little indifferent. Against the girl's white and smooth skin, she was more noble and cold. Yan, like an elf living in the depths of the forest.

"It's still better with her original hair color." Luhrmann assessed the difference in styling between the two. He didn't want a reserved and indifferent Juliet.

The dark gold is too heavy, it will look gorgeous, and it also collided with Leonardo's hair, the light gold is too thin, making the picture pale, Rhea's original hair color is more suitable, bright gold can light up the whole lens, but It will not cover up other brilliance, but can be matched with the actor's appearance to achieve a better effect.

In order to make the look more natural, Luhrmann finally found someone to order those beautiful golden wigs for Rhea, and his efforts were not in vain. When she slowly walked out of the dressing room with waist-length blonde hair, there was no One would doubt that Romeo would have fallen in love with this Juliet at first sight.

Her long hair was gently pulled up and braided into an exquisite bun, but part of it still hung naturally on the girl's back. The gentle long straight hair neutralized her brilliance, emphasizing the girl's youthful beauty.

In Luhrmann's play, his Romeo and Juliet met at a crazy masquerade ball, knight and angel, boy and girl, love and tragedy.

And now his vision is half completed.

The pure and beautiful Juliet walked into reality from Luhrmann's conception in that long white dress. Originally, there was only a vague picture in his mind, but now Luhrmann's thoughts are

Gradually it became clear that the Juliet he had imagined gradually became the face of Rhea Noren.

Rhea is also a good fit to be subbed into that role.

Standing outside the messy studio, she also looks like an angel descending to the world. Her long straight blond hair casts a dreamy soft light on her. Her little wings no longer looked so ridiculous and naive, and she smiled a little, and she became the focus of the picture.

When Leonardo put on the silver light chain armor and saluted Juliet like a gentleman like a knight, Luhrmann felt that the effect was even better. Indeed, as Julie Anchar said, two people standing together Together it is a painting, and the audience will absolutely love it.

Before signing the contract, the director asked her specifically, "Can you swim, Rhea?"

Rhea nodded at that time. Her grades in physical education were very high, and the compulsory course of swimming would naturally not be missed. However, she still didn't quite understand why Luhrmann asked this question, but she soon knew the reason— —

Luhrmann put the scene of Romeo and Juliet showing love to each other in the pool.

At that time, Luhrmann was filming in Sydney, and Leonardo happened to be there, so they put the audition location in Australia, but the official shooting location was actually going to Mexico. The temperature in Mexico City in June was very high, and the filming took place in the water. It will not be uncomfortable.

They rented Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City to serve as Juliet's home. In order to save costs, the scenes at Capulet's house had to be finished quickly.

After the crew had adjusted the lights and set up all the scenes, the two leading actors could enter the filming. Baz Luhrmann called both of them to come and speak before filming began.

This is Rhea's third scene in this crew. She had previously filmed a first meeting scene with Leonardo. Luhrmann made the scene very romantic, making this pair of lovers who came from the Renaissance to modern times See each other in the eyes of each other across the blue tank.

With the previous contact, it is more natural for Rhea and Leonardo to act together. The same dialogue, they can also perform better than in the audition room.

She took off the white wings used for role-playing, and Rhea, who only wore a pure white dress, looked more real. She walked by the pool according to the route planned by the director, and the cold light reflected from the blue water reflected on her eyes. Her blond hair and face set off her melancholy and troubles.

She is now Juliet, not Rhea.

When she frowned slightly and sighed, everyone could see this.

A beautiful girl is in distress.

However, Romeo played by Leonardo is quietly approaching her. He climbed into Juliet's house with his fanatical love and stamina of medicine. He didn't expect to hear Juliet's confession. Mind.

He lowered his head and whispered love in the girl's ear, but he didn't want to scare her.

Turning her head hastily, the fear on the girl's face was not only because she was frightened by the sudden sound, but also because she was worried that her thoughts would be heard.Her fright was very natural and real. Even if the close-up lens was used to zoom in on her face at that moment, such Juliet was not ugly, but rather pitiful.

This scene should have ended here, and the subsequent scene of Juliet being thrown into the water in shock was saved for the next scene.

But the pool has just been cleaned by someone, and it still feels wet from being wiped. Rhea slipped on her feet and actually staggered. If Leonardo hadn't hugged her quickly, she would have fallen into the pool early. In the swimming pool.

When her body tilted uncontrollably, Rhea could hear the exclamation on the set.

"Take it easy, Juliet, your drowning is down there."

After confirming that nothing happened, Baz Luhrmann raised his head from behind the monitor and made a joke. After speaking, he lowered his head again to check the pictures he had taken before, and the desired effect was recorded. Luhrmann was in a good mood, and he He even smiled at his assistant, "This can be included in the tidbits."

Leonardo helped her up and let go of his hand, "You really should listen to the director, don't be too tense."

Rhea always felt a bit weird when she played against the international superstar when she was young, but she could feel the kindness of the other party, so she raised a grateful smile, "Thank you, without you, I would ruin this Dressed up."

Then they will not be able to reshoot this part, which will affect the progress.

The next moment Leonardo smiled back at her.

Wearing medieval-style silver knight light armor, the young Leonardo stands out handsomely. His blond hair becomes darker because it gets wet. When the wet hair sticks to his face, there will be a little water drop from the end of the hair, which is reflected in the A cold light reflected on the slightly pale skin.

"In return, would you please remember to spray your breath freshener?"

If all goes well, they will film a kiss scene today.

It seems that this stalk is temporarily impassable.
