[American Entertainment] Bright life

As Grace's temporary manager, Raymond was waiting outside the meeting room. At first he thought it was just the director's speech, and there should be no non-combat accidents, but his reason told him that the possibility of such a happy situation occurred. , less likely than Grace telling him one day that the love in Pride and Prejudice was just too touching.

It turns out that Raymond's hunch was right.

When the door of the meeting room opened, Keira Knightley, who looked not very good, walked out first, and when she and her agent walked away, she said in a very angry tone: "Damn, that Grace Green What the hell are you doing!"

Her agent was at a loss: "Who?"

"The newcomer to play Briony, according to Joe, has no acting experience before." Knightley still pouted out of anger, "I really don't know how she got the role, and her words are too incomprehensible !"

The agent thought of Raymond who looked like a rich second generation, and when he thought about it again, he naturally thought in an ambiguous direction.Fortunately, Raymond didn't know that Knightley's agent had such a 'terrible' idea. He also wanted to be quiet now, because the cast and crew of "Atonement" filed out, but they didn't see Grace. Raymond immediately stopped Benedict and asked, "Grace, your expression tells me that there was an accident in the conference room."

Benedict: "...you don't seem surprised?"

Raymond shrugged: "You know, Grace's EQ is all added to IQ." He paused and looked at Benedict and added, "What I want to say is that Grace's EQ is low, but She never meant any malice." She just didn't realize how much hatred the combination of her incredible deduction ability and ridiculously low EQ would pull up.

Benedict recalled Grace's behavior: "I could see it."

Raymond raised his eyebrows, thinking that it's no wonder Grace has a crush on Benedict. He stood up and smoothed the hem of his suit, and stretched out his hand to Benedict: "Let me introduce you formally, Raymond Wood, Grace's brother, If you don't mind, can you tell me what Grace did?"

Benedict hesitated, then nodded.

As for Grace, she was discussing with Joe White about how to play Briony, "In order not to waste each other's time, I think we can agree on the key character points of Briony, so I I can use this as the cornerstone to create a complete personality, and when the filming starts, I only need to substitute this personality, and then use Saoirse's performance style to polish it, and there will be no problem in performing."

Joe White thought for a while and said, "Before I talk about this, can I ask your opinion on the whole story of "Atonement?" Atonement.

Grace's honest answer: "Humenbeing."

Joe White asked uncertainly: "What?"

"Oh, I mean 'jealousy is original sin'." Grace blinked and changed her words innocently, "I think we'll get back to business."

Joe White decided not to ask any further questions, he straightened his words and said: "I think I understand what you mean, it's very strange that according to your acting style, you said that you acted with the character's personality, which belongs to the experiential school However, the personality of this character is shaped by your rational analysis of the character’s character, which is like expressionism.”

Grace's eyes lit up when she encountered two completely unfamiliar words, she clasped her hands together, and smiled brightly: "Please be sure to talk about experientialism and expressionism in detail, Mr. White."

Joe White was a little caught by the gorgeous Grace, "Uh, okay. There are two schools of thought in the show business today, the experiential school and the expressive school. The experiential school pays attention to the actors' experience of the inner life of the character, so that they subconsciously believe that 'I It is the belief of the character'; while the expressionists believe that the most important thing in performance is to find the external form that can deeply reflect the inner world of the character, and accurately reproduce this form of expression during the performance. For example, in the previous What did you think about auditioning Briony's emotions towards Robbie's teammate on the verge of death?"

Grace said thoughtfully: "I imagined the emotions that ordinary people like Briony would have when they encountered this kind of thing."

Joe White: "..." Can you give me a good example?

Fortunately, Joe White is a good-tempered, serious and responsible director. He reorganized the language and gave examples of experientialism and expressionism, as well as the emphases and differences of the two schools.

Grace has always been chasing new things. The experientialism and expressionism mentioned by Joe White obviously opened the door to a new world for her. That kind of feeling is no different to Grace, who is most afraid of being bored (?) So the thirsty traveler in the desert came across a ditch flowing with clear water.

So after listening to Joe White's dry mouth, Grace sighed with joy: "I don't think I will feel bored anymore to shoot a movie that is not so rigorous in my opinion, thank you, White gentlemen."

Qiao White choked for a while and then replied dumbfounded: "You're welcome?"

Next, they discussed the key character points of Briony. This part is not difficult for Grace, she is very good at interpreting human beings.When it was time to say goodbye at the end, Grace said with wandering eyes, "I'm sorry."

She was so abrupt, Joe White didn't understand why: "What did you say?"

"You heard it, so I won't say it a second time, and I mean, I should give the job I'm about to take it's due seriously, I think it's poor preparation and poor communication It won’t happen again.” Grace spoke quickly, and during the process she had resumed her usual attitude of indifference and aloofness, and before Joe White could react, she showed a Grace-like smirk, "Looking forward to our next meeting, Director."

When Grace walked out of the conference room, Joe White couldn't help laughing: It's just an apology, so there's no need to be so awkward?

——Well, it is necessary.

Raymond, who was waiting outside and already knew what had happened, saw Grace coming out, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Director White okay?" After asking this question, Raymond regretted it, and changed the subject abruptly. "We can go now, can't we? Benedict, please let me give you a ride, maybe we will drop by."

Before Benedict could speak, Grace said, "We're not on our way."

Raymond: "...you know again?"

"Although I don't know his detailed address, I do know the block range of the apartment he rents-thanks to Mr. Cumberbatch's morning jogging habit, and the transportation method he chose to come here is to take the subway- Considering his financial situation, the scope can be further narrowed." Grace brought a detailed map of London with her, so it was not a problem to find out the map.

Benedict: "..."

Raymond quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, Grace. My dear, let's save some content as the opening remarks for the next meeting." This sentence is not lacking in teasing, but it is a pity that Grace did not get the interesting point of this sentence.

In the end, Benedict did not choose to take Raymond's car. He thought he had made a wise choice and understood that Grace did not have any malicious intentions. However, there will still be "psychological barriers" when getting along with each other.

Raymond understood very well and didn't hold back. After starting the car and driving steadily for a while, Raymond said, "So do you have any plans for the future, Grace? I mean before you enter the crew of "Atonement". "

Grace put down her phone, and her gray-blue eyes were dotted with starlight, "I find that acting is not so boring, so I want to understand systematically that the best professional college in London is the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. I plan to go to Get a degree."

Raymond: "... If I remember correctly, you are not only studying for a Ph.D. in psychology, but also a bachelor's degree in chemistry, right?" He is what everyone looks up to.

Grace blinked: "Is there a necessary connection between the two?"

Raymond silently turned his head to face the front and concentrated on driving. He is an outstanding student, and he is actually one of the top 5% outstanding students in the law school.

When Donald knew that Grace was going to apply for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he showed great enthusiasm. The relationship between the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the West End is much closer than that with Oxford University. Every year, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art sends many outstanding drama talents to the West End. .In his heart, the old man still wants to see his beloved granddaughter on the stage of their theater, but this matter cannot be rushed, but there is another matter, "Honey, don't you think that if there is an excellent student from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art Will the graduate come to share his experience with you, will it save you a lot of energy?"

The old gentleman did not give Grace any time to argue, and continued in a calm voice, "My old friend James has a son who graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art two years ago, and it is said that he was still studying at Cambridge. You started acting in TV dramas when you were young, you will definitely have something in common, my dear, let’s settle this, right? Don’t you have the heart to refuse an old man’s sincere request? Oh, I seem to remember, the recent "Les Miserables" " is going to be remade again."

Grace really didn't want "Les Miserables" to poison her ears and make her more miserable than Jean Valjean in it, so she swallowed back her rebuttal and smiled: "If this is really your sincere request .”

Raymond had some schadenfreude in his heart, too, Grace is 19 years old, it's time to meet hordes of young talents.Wait, did he forget something important?After a while, Raymond finally remembered that Grace had said that she had been in love, and suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly after realizing it.Who is this warrior? !

Leaving aside the matter of the ex, the matter of getting to know the young talent has to wait, at least after the filming of Grace's scene in "Atonement" is completed.Nearly a month after "Atonement" officially started filming, Grace joined the crew. The first scene was to play opposite Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, who played the leading actor Robbie.
