[US Entertainment] Actress

"Nice to meet you, Noy." Sofia Coppola responded to Noy with a smile.The moment they embraced, Sophia looked at Noy carefully again, and the smile on her face never faded away.As an actor, Noy has always been very sensitive, so Sophia's scrutiny was naturally watched by her, but Noy didn't mind, no matter what, the director had to get acquainted with her actors first.

In addition to Sofia Coppola, she also had a preliminary acquaintance with other actors in the film.Actor Bill Murray is a veteran comedy star. He started from the ace show "Saturday Night Live" and starred in "Ghostbusters" in 1984 to push his career to the peak. There are excellent works released, but he is a very important actor in the American show business circle.

Older actors in Hollywood are always more tolerant of younger actors, of course, this must be based on the fact that the young actor has unlimited potential.Film companies and producers are always willing to give young people with box office appeal a chance, and those scandals are nothing compared to money.Of course, not even God can save young people if they keep choosing to fall.There are actually many examples in Hollywood, and Lindsay Lohan and Macaulay Culkin are notable examples.

With a hit movie and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, now Noy actually has a chance to be self-willed. Even if she has some scandals and scandals at the moment, the film company and agency will do it first. It is also an effort to cover up rather than expose it.

This is the right of the successful, and it is also the unspoken rule of Hollywood. Everyone knows it and everyone tries to adapt.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Sofia Coppola as the director of this film, her father Francis Ford Coppola and brother Roman Coppola acted as producer and assistant director respectively in the film. Although the cost of this film is only 4,00 million US dollars, it has attracted the attention of major media in the United States.In addition, the shooting location of this film is set in Tokyo, Japan, and the mixture of American elements and Japanese elements makes it the focus of the media at the beginning of filming.

Noye has become more and more adept at dealing with the media. However, during the interview, the Coppola brothers and sisters were used as shields, and she only felt that the whole person was a lot easier.In addition to the North American media, a lot of local media in Tokyo also came, including major newspapers such as "Yomiuri Shimbun" and entertainment gossip magazines such as "Friday" that expose private affairs.

However, Noy obviously underestimated the tireless efforts of the media.Although the Coppola brothers and sisters are in the front, it does not mean that the media will ignore Noy, a newly rising star.After Noi sat down for a while, the media came to interview her.Of course, after the "National Enquirer" defamation incident, the media's attitude towards Noy was far less aggressive than at the beginning. Like the "National Enquirer" at the premiere of "Legal Blonde" Tomb Raider news is also out of the question.What's more, there is Sofia Coppola present at this moment. Although the achievements of this female director are not taken seriously by the media, but she has a very successful father. In Hollywood, no media reporter is willing to take the initiative to offend Francis Ford. Coppola.

"Noy, is there anything uncomfortable about coming to Japan?" A reporter asked.

Noy shook his head: "Of course not. At least for now, I like this place very much, and working with Sophia is something I have been looking forward to, so I have no other emotions at this moment except excitement."

The filming hasn't started yet, so the reporters' topics mainly revolve around Noy's feelings about the city or expectations for the film. Of course, the media didn't forget to ask her about her feelings about working with Bill Murray.

And other things that have nothing to do with the movie, Noy simply handed it over to the director Sofia Coppola. Sofia glanced at her helplessly, but had to assume the responsibility of the director.

Filming officially began after the media interviews were over, but that doesn't mean it's off to a bright start.In addition to a limited number of American actors, the film mostly recruited Japanese actors.In the crew, communication is first and foremost a problem.It was different from Benicio del Toro's broken Spanish during the filming of "Narco", which was just a special need of the filming.But the style of "Lost in Translation" is obviously different. Director Sofia Coppola hopes to show the unique Tokyo flavor through this film, so from the beginning of shooting to the end of shooting, the film must be full of strong Tokyo color. For actors, how to meet the requirements of the director is a difficult task.

In addition, making a film that meets the director's requirements within a limited time and limited cost also poses challenges to actors, whether it is physique, acting skills or learning ability.

In addition to these two items, getting along with Japanese actors is also a problem.Compared with Bill Murray and Noy, who came from Europe and the United States with their own romantic atmosphere, the attitude of these Japanese artists is really too serious.Even though their acting skills are not very good, but with that serious attitude, they made up for their lack of potential.On the contrary, their intentions also made Bill Murray and Noy, who were on the same crew, nervous.

It can be said that the crew of "Lost in Translation" is the crew with the strangest atmosphere that Noye has ever been in.However, no matter what, as a responsible actor, Noy will always adjust his emotions to the best so that he can adapt to the complex shooting needs.She thinks that she has done a good job in this aspect, but when she really puts herself into shooting, she finds that the difficulty she encounters is greater than she imagined, or it can be said that this is the biggest difficulty she has encountered since she started filming—she and Bill Murray is having trouble getting along.

Although Bill Murray turned from shooting comedy shows to comedy movies, his acting skills and influence in the film industry have been recognized by American audiences since he turned to the big screen for decades.In addition to comedy, Bill is also good at playing warm and delicate characters. At the beginning of the filming, he and Noy had a good relationship, but for some reason, Bill seemed to turn a blind eye to Noy's filming from the third day, which made Noy Yi was very curious but couldn't find a solution.

Noy even had a vague feeling that Bill was deliberately suppressing her scene.He didn't criticize Noi directly, or embarrass her during the filming, but during the usual scenes, Bill often tried to use realistic acting skills and a strong sense of oppression to make Noi succumb.It's not that Noy doesn't like actors who feel oppressive during filming. This kind of actors are often superb and they can also be greatly improved when they shoot opposite roles.For example, Michael Douglas, who worked together in "Drug Network", is also a well-known acting school in Hollywood.Playing Noy with him is also very nervous, but it doesn't have the strong sense of rejection with Bill Murray.

Noy stared at Bill calmly. Although she didn't understand what Bill's intention was, it didn't mean she would admit defeat.As an actress in her past and present lives, Noy naturally understands the difficulties of living in this industry. She has faced too many difficulties, and Bill's so-called difficulties are just trivial.And Noye admitted that Bill's acting skills are really good, rather than seeing it as a kind of oppression, Noye would rather see it as an incentive for himself.

The conflict between Bill and Noy naturally attracted the attention of other crew members.There are a large number of Japanese actors in the crew, and they will not participate in the battle between American actors. Therefore, around the conflict between the two, other staff members turned to Bill and confronted Noy.In fact, this is a very normal phenomenon in Hollywood. There are seniors and juniors in the showbiz of any country. Although Hollywood does not have a strong boundary in this respect like some countries, everyone who has struggled in Hollywood for decades The actors are not to be ignored.Although many of them no longer play major roles and even most of them have quit the showbiz, their connections and influence in the entire industry are outstanding.Although young actors can shine in a certain aspect, they are still inferior to veteran actors in terms of influence.So when Noye and Bill had a conflict, they did not hesitate to stand on Bill's side.

Noye believes that the director Sophia must have seen all of this. Compared with Bill Murray, who she personally invited to write the script for her, Noye's weight is obviously lower.Of course, Sophia would not directly point out all this, she just silently told Noy to learn to be patient with her actions, and Noy naturally saw Sophia's tendencies.She silently watched the staff in the crew fawning over Bill, and those who were kind to her when they first came also showed a vague sense of exclusion.Noy smiled, but the smile was a little cold.

Noi understood their attitude, but that didn't mean she would accept it all.Noy was thinking, and they seemed to have forgotten the fact that Noy Linton was never a person who was used to being patient. Noy ​​would fight back without hesitation when faced with the provocation of the "National Enquirer". Maybe you let yourself suffer when filming?Although the only person accompanying him in Tokyo at the moment is his assistant Vivienne, Noy decided to repay the indifference of the crew.

As an actor, Noye believes that the way to establish prestige in the crew is to fully demonstrate her true acting skills, and this is the only way she can repay Bill Murray.And when the film was finished, Noye thought, she might consider some way to reflect her presence as the heroine of the film.

In the evening when the third shooting ended, Noy returned to the hotel with Vivienne in the car.She called Martin to tell what happened during this period, and Martin was very angry on the spot.However, he is in Los Angeles at the moment, and there is no way to rush to Tokyo immediately. He can only comfort Noy non-stop.But in fact, he was much angrier than Noi, and it was Noi who comforted Martin at the end of the phone call.

"I'll book a ticket to Tokyo immediately." Martin said angrily, "Wait for me."

Noy smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After talking about it, Noy felt much better.She thought the call would be over by now, but she received another call at ten o'clock in the evening - from Keith Lieser.
