[American Entertainment] Bright life

Grace crossed her arms, her eyes, bright and cold, never blinking.

After a while, she gave up: "Fine, what do you little monster want?"

"I'm not a little troll!" It was a six-year-old girl, Rachel Covey, who played the protagonist Robert's daughter Morgan in "Enchanted" and made Grace an unprecedented compromise.Before the filming of Grace's scene started today, the director asked the two of them to get acquainted.

Grace has never been good with children. She had let Emily play the idiot game of '1+1=2' with Rachel, but she didn't expect this little troll - if it was regarded as Grace's treatment of her It's not impossible to pay tribute to Professor Snape played by Alan Rickman, the "tutor" in the movie - I don't know what happened, so I just look for Grace.

Then, the two had a 3-minute eye-to-eye confrontation.

Grace is not child-friendly: "I doubt—"

"Grace!" Sterling interrupted Grace's words with sudden brows, and he smirked at Grace with his back turned to the others: "Trust me, you won't even think about seeing it." The little troll was crying loudly."

Grace choked up, and in the blink of an eye, she showed a bright smirk to Rachel: "What can I do for you, Your Highness?"

Little Rachel giggled, "Can you tell me the story of Snow White?"

"Let me think about it—" Grace tilted her head slightly, the smile on her face did not disappear immediately, and then she said to Little Rachel, "Prince Charming is a necrophilia." Thanks to this movie, when Grace collected information I have read a lot of fairy tales, and since the movie has not been finished yet, those fairy tales are still being stored.

Sterling: "..." Did she really listen to his 'threat' just now?

However, today is destined to be Sterling's 'Damn it' day, because little Rachel asked curiously: "What is necrophilia?"

Grace said "uh," thinking she'd be happy to tell the little troll about necrophilia.

Sterling pressed his temples. He didn't want to hear such a "beautiful" story. Not only that, he thought he couldn't stop Grace, so he had no choice but to stop Grace, who had already finished talking with the director and was walking this way. Here comes Rachel Covey's mother and manager.However, his client was not only ungrateful, but when he walked towards Mrs. Covey, he said lightly: "If this helps you, then she has been single for six months."

Sterling decided not to come to the studio to follow from tomorrow. You must know that when a client enters the filming crew, the agent generally does not need to follow, because they still have a lot of things to do, such as getting other scripts for the contracted client, endorsement , magazine cover shooting, etc., and Hollywood agents generally don't have only one client under their name.But the more I say it, the sadder it seems, given that Sterling only has Grace as a client now.

——So, it's a...fun story.

The "communication" between Grace and Little Rachel seemed to work before the filming started. When the actual filming started, she followed the script and naturally expressed her affection for Giselle played by Grace, even though they were in the play. It was the first time we met.

In reality too.

As for Patrick Dempsey, the actor who plays the leading actor Robert, they just need to have a spark in the scene, don't they?

Giselle was taken into the apartment of Robert and his daughter Morgan. After a tiring day, Giselle fell asleep as soon as she sat on the sofa. Robert wanted to call to send Giselle away, but seeing the sweet girl He couldn't bear the sleeping face again, so Giselle slept in Robert's apartment overnight.

When she woke up the next day, Giselle looked at the messy apartment and immediately shook her head. She decisively opened the window of the apartment and sang to call her animal friends.In bustling Manhattan, all she summoned were pigeons, mice and cockroaches...

Pigeons, mice and cockroaches are certainly not real here, they need computer post-production, this series of scenes requires Grace to use her imagination, and in this scene, she also needs to sing and dance , generally speaking, this is a very difficult scene.

In order to reduce the difficulty of filming and save film, it is also a shooting method commonly used in Hollywood movies when filming song records, that is, to record the songs to be sung in advance, and when the actual filming is performed, the actors only need to get their expressions and mouth movements in place. , or wait until the final filming is completed, and then perform unified dubbing.

In the movie "Magic Romance", there are more than one song record segment, and there is a song and dance group show in the second half. In addition, because it uses a combination of animation and real people, and there are animation clips that need to be dubbed, it is placed at the end. Unified dubbing.

Therefore, Kevin Lima suggested to Grace: "In this scene, we don't force it on the radio, so you can focus more on the performance. Even if the singing is not perfect this time, it doesn't matter at all. Believe me, our The post-production team is very professional."

Grace said nothing.

"No problem?" Kevin Lima's attitude towards Grace is very good now, and it is also because Grace's natural performance makes him feel very satisfied.

Grace's eyes flickered twice quickly, and then she forced out a smile, indicating that she was fine.

"Then get ready, and the shooting will start in 10 minutes." Director Lima said, who didn't see anything wrong with Grace at all. He obviously didn't have any doubts about Grace's singing skills, and he took it for granted that her singing skills would be like hers. as captivating as his acting skills.In fact, it's not like that——

Sterling has Grace's shooting schedule in his hand, and because he is on the set now, he knows the details of the shooting very well, so he naturally knows what will be shot in the next scene.When Grace came over to prepare, he raised his eyebrows. It was rare that there was no routine choking, but this did not prevent him from recalling what happened after he got the role and a more complete script.

Grace also looked at ten lines at a glance, and she said in a sparse and ordinary tone: "I think there is one thing you need to know. I have never sang."

Sterling: "...Didn't you see the 'musical drama' marked in the genre column of the script, my respected client?" Now that the characters are all in hand, you actually said that you can't sing, are you kidding me? ?

"Do you need me to help you recall? This script was selected by you and thought to be suitable for me, and I told you 'I don't think so' the first time I read it." Grace said confidently, and she watched lightly again. He glanced at Sterling, "Just because I haven't sung before, doesn't mean I can't."

The corner of Sterling's mouth twitched: "Then surprise me, a lady who has never sung but can sing."

Then, Sterling enjoyed Fantine's classic aria "IDreamedADream" in "Les Miserables" outside the theater.But Sterling's expression became subtle when he heard it. At first he thought that Grace was definitely joking when she said that she had never sung, but gradually he realized that Grace was not singing, it was better to say I'm imitating, because if a person is really singing, her basic voice will not change.Sure enough, his feeling was right, because Grace was deadpan after the 'sing' - she was deadpan throughout the song - and said: "Patty Lupern's version .”

Sterling didn't know whether to burn a high-intelligence genius like Grace to death, or to test her Broadway singing version. In the end, he said: "Genius girl, I think you are about to cheat for the first time in your life."

In view of the tight time now, we can only carry out the imitation to the end, but strictly speaking, it is not a complete imitation in the end. In the tight time, Grace obviously mastered a lot of singing skills. When Purcell's character sang with emotion, it was unexpectedly beautiful.It's the kind of sound that makes people feel that she has received professional training and has singing skills for a long time.

Sterling, the only one who knew the truth, resolutely raised a torch in his heart!

……

After the singing part was 'overcome', the subsequent performance became more comfortable for Grace.

Robert has a girlfriend Nancy who has been talking for five years. When she appeared on the stage, she saw Gisele lying on Robert lying on the floor wrapped in a towel. The scene seemed extremely ambiguous, but in fact it was because Robert While cleaning the bathroom that was flooded by Giselle, when she heard Nancy coming over and looked out nervously, she pulled down Giselle who was standing next to her and had just finished her chores and took a shower.

Nancy was stunned. Robert was a bit unlovable, but Giselle, who was completely unaware of any problems, got up from Robert without any embarrassment, saying, "Is this a new friend? I'm so happy to meet new friends." "Friend" walked towards Nancy and introduced herself.

Apparently Nancy didn't think so. She thought her boyfriend was stealing food from her behind her back. After a fight with Robert, she left angrily. Robert chased him out, and Giselle was in a state of affairs from the beginning to the end. outside.

Actress Idina Menzel, who played Nancy, won the Best Actress Award at the Tony Award, the highest award in American drama, for her role as Alphaba in the classic stage play "The Witch". He gave a wonderful performance in "Rent a Lucky House".

In this movie, Nancy played by her and Giselle played by Grace can be regarded as rivals in love, and she seems to bring this hostile relationship to real life, and the reason for saying "seems" is that It's because: "...I don't think so, she has very good acting skills, and I heard that her agent is from WMA, so it's also—" There is nothing wrong with it.

The person on the other end of the phone interrupted her with a sharp tone before she finished speaking, but Idina Menzel was in no mood to listen to what the other party had to say, because at this moment a long white and slender hand reached out, and He lowered his head and mouthed "MayI" to her.

Idina Menzel leaned back and raised her head to meet the gray-blue eyes of the protagonist she was discussing with her friends, which are different from the sweet eyes that are full of jumping lights in the play, and very intimidating The eyes, the body is faster than the brain, and the phone is handed over.

These words came clearly from the microphone: "... what else is there to say, she must have gotten the WMA contract by relying on unspoken rules, and she got the daughter by sleeping with the producer of the movie you are making now." As the protagonist, I know it!"
