[American Entertainment] Bright life

"There is nothing wrong with Keira Knightley's performance. She has a kind of classical temperament, which just fits the object of our filming-Georgiana. What's more, she is now famous enough to support this female film. The only one The fly in the ointment is her figure, a little flat, but I think she is our best choice."

It was the director of "The Duchess", Saul Dibb, who was obviously satisfied with Knightley's audition just now, and felt that there was no need to audition other people in the future.

"Yes, we all know that Knightley has the best comprehensive strength among our audition actors in terms of acting skills, popularity, and box office appeal. But Saul, you yourself said that she still has such a good appearance. In fact, Amanda is not particularly optimistic about her." Producer Gabriel Tana explained gently, the Amanda in her mouth was talking about Amanda Fuhrman, "The Duchess" The movie is based on her book "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire", "This one we're going to audition next, she recommended it, but believe me, Knightley is still the first one on my side. A choice."

When she said this, Saul Dibb almost understood that the original author's opinion still needs to be considered, but consideration and adoption are two different things.And when Gabriel said this, Saul Dibb couldn't help but feel a little curious about the candidate recommended by Amanda Fuhrman. After all, Keira Knightley is one of the new generation of British actresses in his opinion. of the best.

When he saw the resume of the next audition candidate, he couldn't help saying, "It's her."

Gabriel raised his eyebrows: "You know her?"

"Her Nina was well-received, and I read the reviews in the paper." Saul Dibb has not been to the theater to see Grace Green's performance, but the Royal Shakespeare Theater's re-run of "The Seagull" has recently exploded in popularity , especially the newcomer drama actor who played Nina in it, and some media even described her performance as "almost unbearably moving".

"I think Amanda only recommended her after watching "The Seagull." Gabriel said casually. To be honest, although Amanda is her friend and the author of the original work, from the producer's point of view, Gabriel is leaning towards Keira Knightley anyway.

And Knightley himself also likes the script of "The Duchess" very much. Not only is the role of Georgiana very challenging, but this is a movie with Georgiana as the absolute protagonist. The chances of winning awards for such movies are often relatively high of.Before that, Knightley was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her role in "Pride and Prejudice", but that was just a nomination. Knightley never concealed her ambition, so she is very powerful for the role of Georgiana. in the must-get.

Her agent, David Harris, obviously thought so too, with a smug look on his face, "I think this audition is just a process, and we'll go back and wait for the good news, Kayla—" He noticed Knightley wasn't listening to him, and following her gaze, it was a man and a woman, who looked like they were here for an audition, but since he didn't feel familiar with the girl, she wouldn't be famous actor, so he didn't care much and said, "Is it someone you know?"

After nearly a year, Knightley still recognized Grace, who played Brioni in "Atonement". Also, as long as you have seen the other party's arrogant posture in the clouds, I am afraid that after such a long time, you will still be able to recognize Grace. remember it.It's just that Knightley didn't expect to see Grace again in the same crew. The other party actually came to audition for the same role as her this time. Isn't this not self-confidence but arrogance?

Knightley didn't think the producer and director would choose an actress who was inferior to her in every way, so he immediately looked away, curled his lips and said, "It's nothing."

On the other side, Sterling, who accompanied Grace to the audition, finally made up his mind to say his comforting words after another hesitation: "If I say this to make you feel better, then I can stand From the perspective of a bystander, the reason why you and Mr. H broke up is because you are a genius with a high IQ, a genius with a high IQ and a genius with a high IQ."

Sterling came to London before "The Seagull" was staged at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. WMA has an office in London. Sterling originally wanted to call resources here, but it turned out that his client didn't need it at all. Her grandfather's status in London's West End... well, for now, that's not the point, the point is that Sterling knows his client has broken up with her boyfriend.

Sterling was not surprised by such a result. In his opinion, Grace was not so much in a relationship as she was studying love, as a scholar and bystander.For ordinary people, this is not a relationship at all, so the two are not equal, and it is inevitable that they will fall apart.

Grace glanced at him: "I don't know when Mr. Hiddleston became Mr. Can't be mentioned by name?"

Sterling deeply felt the meaning of "Are you an idiot" revealed in Grace's eyes, so he said blankly: "Probably after you broke up." Originally, Sterling was waiting for Grace's poisonous tongue to come back, but What he didn't expect was that Grace pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "So it's inevitable to have sentimental feelings after ending an intimate relationship?"

Sterling didn't expect Grace to say that. The subtext of this sentence meant that Grace herself also had Grace-like sentimentality. This inference made him stunned for a moment.

Grace had a panoramic view of his expression, she lowered her eyes and quickly said: "I didn't say it." After that, her expression returned to normal, and she walked forward quickly.

Looking at her back, Sterling suddenly realized that studying love relationships as love studies may be the love relationship in her own understanding. Grace may not be as calm as she showed.

……

Georgiana was a topical character in the [-]th century. Her experience was considered to be very similar to that of Princess Diana in the [-]th century. She had the same unfortunate marriage and the same passion for politics. The Duchess focused on her controversial life. lifetime.

Keira Knightley is known as the "British Rose", and is also considered to have classical beauty. She played an aristocratic lady in "Pirates of the Caribbean" that made her popular all over the world, and "Pride and Prejudice" "Elizabeth in" has a unique charm in ancient costumes.

In the audition for "The Duchess", she did the typical dress of an eighteenth-century noble lady, and the evaluation she received was, as director Saul Dibb said, that although the figure was slightly flat, the corset The existence of it will still play a compensatory role.

But sometimes we have to admit that the natural slim figure is even more amazing——

Saul Debb and producer Gabriel Tana didn't have to wait long for a knock on the door, "Come in."

The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, and the first thing they saw was the light green skirt, which was the color of spring, vigorous and full of vitality.The young girl who came in was dressed like an aristocratic girl in the [-]th century, which can be discerned from her clothes and hairstyle. Her gray-blue eyes were sparkling and shining, and she bent her knees slightly after entering the door: "Good afternoon, Ma'am and sir."

The voice is like a pearl rolling on the tip of the tongue, very gorgeous and elegant, very in line with Georgiana's aristocratic status, this is definitely a head start.

Saul Dibb subconsciously compared Keira Knightley's performance and found that in terms of tone, Knightley did not have such an elegant aristocratic accent. Looking at the appearance, Grace Green's dress is even more impressive. Liang, this should be attributed to the fact that her figure is not as flat as the former one, especially when her waist is restrained and her symmetry is extraordinarily slender. It was amazing, and this also echoed the setting of Georgiana-she was the most famous beauty at the time.

I just don't know how to act?

Unknowingly, Saul Dibb was not as persistent as he was at the beginning. He asked a few routine questions, such as "Do you know Georgiana Cavendish?" "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire?", Gabriel Tana suggested: "Let me see, show Georgiana after she learns that her best friend is sleeping with her husband." , how about the emotional outburst scene?"

As she spoke, she also gave Grace the script of this scene, and gave Grace 3 minutes of preparation time.

This scene is actually a test of acting skills, and it is also very difficult. Saul Dibb thought about it for a while and understood what Gabriel Tana meant: Grace Green, a newcomer actor who has no name, will be invited to come. The audition is entirely for the sake of the author of the original work. In fact, Gabriel Tana, the producer, has already selected Knightley. People retreated when they knew the difficulties, and at the same time, she could explain to the author of the original work.

Saul Dibb thinks so, but he won't show anything. After all, he has never seen Grace's acting skills, and no one in the crew wants to offend the producer.

Just when Saul Dibb was thinking about these messes, Grace pushed the door open again and came in. Saul Dibo reflexively looked over when he heard the sound of the door opening, and was suddenly taken aback: Grace obviously looked like she had been crying , the eye sockets are red, the nose is also a little red, and her face is pale, like a flower that has been beaten by frost, forming a sharp contrast with the previous beautiful flying.

"I'm ready," she said, and there was nothing unusual about her voice.

"Then let's get started." Saul Dibo began to look forward to her performance in his heart.

Grace stood by the window, and when she heard the sound of the door being opened, she turned her head and laughed at herself. She clenched her hands into fists and rubbed the window lattice. Her dry tears welled up again, and her eyes sparkled extraordinarily with anger. , looking sideways at the Duke of Devonshire who came in through the door, Georgiana's husband, "There are so many women in England, you just want to crush her!"

This time her voice has changed, with a crying sound, which is normal. Since Georgiana had been together with her husband and best friend before this, her suppressed emotions broke out and she cried a lot.

Grace paused, she looked away from the Duke of Devonshire, but her eyes were not fixed, a little out of focus, and said in a very bitter tone that tried to hide: "I never expressed your love affair Object;" Her voice gradually rose, her hands began to clenched into fists, "I will accept all the activities you arranged—" She took a breath, tears rolled in her eyes, and her face turned paler, "But this time ? I finally got something that belongs to me, why can't you leave her to me?"

"What kind of man are you!" Grace walked a few steps from the window to the door and yelled at the Duke of Devonshire. She choked up after saying this, subconsciously looking for support, but found nothing , even though her husband was standing right in front of her.She lowered her hands weakly and looked at her husband without blinking. The tears accumulated in her eyes could no longer hold back and slid across her cheeks that had turned from pale to red due to grief and anger.She seemed to be asking herself, but also her husband, "What did I do wrong?"

—In this performance, of course, there is no Duke of Devonshire. This role is said to be played by Ralph Fiennes, but he is not present. The best friend and the only true friend questioned her husband after going to bed, and Grace herself was the only performer from the beginning to the end.

Saul Dibble now wants to use the phrase "almost unbearably moving" that the media used to describe Grace's performance in "The Seagull" to evaluate her current performance.

Pity.
