Chapter 1300: Act Like a Dragoon

Fergie's super-long contract is about to expire. She is very jealous because of the copycat she gave to Mira and the Beverly Hills mansion, but Song Ya is still reluctant to let go of the money printing machine she built by herself, and plans to match her up in the future Join the Black Eyed Peas and return to the Apocalypse World Line...

With Kingsley by her side, even if she didn't leave at that time, she would hit herself hard again. The old woman would instigate Fergie to make trouble every time.

Just let Charis think of a way. Fergie and her are both under the banner of Kingsley, so they have a good relationship, so they shouldn't be on guard against her.

"what sound?"

Waking up in Xuelinfen's RV, Song Ya vaguely saw her and Natasha Kinski sitting naked in front of the window, opening the curtain to peek out, "Hush!" Xuelinfen turned her head and said Follow the instructions.

"Natasha! Natasha!?"

He also looked over curiously, and it turned out to be Quincy Jones! An old man in a high-end suit with a fancy pocket square on his chest and a large bouquet of roses in his hand was knocking on the door of Natasha Kinski's car, begging, "I'm sorry, Natasha, I was the one who was wrong last time, I shouldn't have done it... Give me another chance to talk, please? Just once! Open the door, Natasha!"

"Hee hee, this old thing." Song Ya smirked.

The plot of Cold Mountain has three lines, the emotional drama where the hero and heroine separate and reunite, the worldly situation that the heroine encounters while staying at home in the south, what the hero sees and hears when he joins the war and escapes, and the hero’s storyline, including the war scenes, is basically set in Ireland Shooting on location, Xue Linfen and some other producers are staring at this place, and Natasha Kinski, as the young woman who the hero encounters on the road, is of course also here.

The leading actress in Canada has also been restarted as Nicole Kidman returned to the crew after her vacation. Almost all the scenes of the second female lead played by Jennifer Connelly are with Nicole Kidman’s first female lead, so she Has also left France to return to Canada.

On Harley's side, Spike Lee has finished editing the movie Miracle, and first of all, he plans to submit it to the Cannes Film Festival for an award. Spike Lee is more popular in Europe than in the United States, and Harley also needs to cooperate in related work.

Song Ya didn't have any fun staying in France alone, so she came to Ireland.

Unexpectedly, he was almost blocked by Quincy Jones.

"Ignore him."

Natasha Kinski left the old man behind eight hundred years ago, took out her mobile phone, and quietly called her assistant to come over to rescue her, "Oh!" Intimate contact with curtains.

"Ms. Kinski isn't here." Her assistant came quickly.

"Where did she go?"

"Uh, it seems to be on a Canadian set."

"Oh, that's it...don't say a word." The old man muttered in disappointment and left, leaving behind a desolate figure.

Then go to Canada, all of them, it just so happens that Daly Jr.’s re-election campaign just ended, and Song Ya doesn’t want to go back to Chicago so soon as if he’s hiding on purpose. It’s good to go around Canada and stay for a few more days.

He also misses his beloved fourteen-inch cream cake a little bit, and he feels a little addicted like not seeing each other every day.

'I know dark clouds will hang over me, I know my road is rough, but the golden fields lie before me, and weary eyes don't cry anymore, I'm going home to my father, I'm going home, no more wandering...'

The Canadian Cold Mountain studio is located next to a local ski resort, and some retro buildings will be reserved for the resort hotel group that owns the ski resort, saving some costs for the crew.

Currently shooting an indoor scene, a troubadour sings, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly sit on the floor and listen in silence, the time is Christmas, a rare happy time for many people trapped in post-war life , the two had an emotional exchange scene without lines.

Basically, the second country girl played by Jennifer Connelly has her eye on the rich girl Nicole Kidman's gold bracelet. When Nicole Kidman found out, she generously gave one up and put it on her hand. The progress of the relationship between girlfriends, more trust, and mutual dependence.

This bitch, knowing that I went to Paris to file a complaint with APLUS, knew that I was running Eyes Wide Shut’s PR in order to ask for leave? Hum,

After studying at Harvard and Yale, you can play tricks ah? Want to grab the leading role? Maybe even climbed into the bed of Nger's big investor? Let's see if my old lady doesn't steal all your scenes!

Messy blonde hair and patchwork costumes show that she is in trouble, but Nicole Kidman, who still has delicate makeup on her face, is madly complaining about Jennifer Connelly. Both are Hollywood actresses who have been famous for many years, and they all intend to perform awards , who doesn't know who? Either you die or I live! She swears that all rival scenes will overshadow the other party's brilliance.

In the actor's singing, the "country girl" Jennifer Connelly, who felt that the shape was more sloppy, was fattened by the makeup artist and specially outlined the double chin, played with the three gold bracelets on her wrist for a while.

Nicole Kidman immediately began to act with all the knowledge she had learned all her life. First, she glanced at the other party, using a micro-expression to show that she had noticed the other party's psychology, then hesitated a little, and then took the initiative to untie a bracelet and grabbed Jennifer Connelly. Hand, pull it over, help put it on, and then look at the singer again as if doing an insignificant thing, listening to the song, enjoying the song while missing the boyfriend who went to the battlefield, and the current difficult living environment, becoming more and more sentimental.

Every movement and expression is broken down very finely, and it is matched with all kinds of amorous feelings.

Jennifer Connelly looked back, and the two stared at each other knowingly.

"Card!"

Director Tony Scott called out impatiently, "Jenny! How many times have I said that!? Nicole is a down-and-out rich lady, she is full of emotions, delicate, and sentimental! But you are just a country girl, and your expressions don't need So complicated and vivid, just be stupid! Just be stupid!"

"I'm sorry, Director Scott..." Jennifer Connelly apologized weakly.

Really unconvinced and want to play? Hehe, deserve it! Nicole Kidmanou turned her face away, pursed her lips, and tried her best not to laugh on the spot.

"It's okay, everything has just begun, take your time, there is still time... let's get here first today!"

Tony Scott felt that this was not good, and he had to hurry up and give Jennifer Connelly a small talk, otherwise, it would be unbearable to eat NG all the way, and the progress would be delayed a lot.

The two actresses were best friends in the play, and they didn't say a word outside the play, and they didn't even bother to make eye contact. When they heard the order to get off work, they stood up, and they parted ways with a bunch of assistants and service staff.

"APLUS is here." At this moment, the recorder came to Tony Scott's ear to remind him.

"OK."

Tony Scott turned around and found APLUS who was huddled in the darkness behind, shook hands, chatted a few words about the crew, and agreed to the invitation for dinner at night. APLUS has always been very polite to himself and never interfered with the creation. satisfy.

As long as the finished film is sent to be edited, be more careful, and don't make the same mistakes as his brother, he thought in his heart.

Walking into the long-term rented lounge of the crew at the ski resort, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly next door looked at each other meaningfully, and then they were surrounded by each other.

"That Australian girl!"

Jennifer Connelly lost her temper as soon as she entered the door, quickly took off her sloppy costume, and sat in front of the makeup mirror impotently and furiously.

"Mr. APLUS has an appointment for dinner." The assistant reminded.

"He's here?" I was overjoyed, and suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to speak so excitedly in front of so many people, so I hurried to make amends, "Oh, I see, take out my shirt... ah no, that red evening dress Bar."

"Today, let's give that bitch a little bit of power, haha! Huh! She has a fart acting skill!"

Nicole Kidman's assistant next door was triumphant.

"Don't..." Nicole Kidman stopped with a smile, "We're all friends, so don't speak so harshly, OK?"

"Hehe, who will spread the word?" The assistant looked at the other people present, when someone knocked on the door, she went to let the manager send Kingsley in.

"A phone call from Liang Tang."

Pai Kingsley handed over the mobile phone with a worried expression on his face, "You all go out." He drove the idlers out of the door.

Nicole Kidman's mood also changed from dark to irritable, "What's the matter?" She asked in a bad tone.

"I postponed the shooting of Mission: Impossible 2, which is my own business, a project with an investment of hundreds of millions!"

The husband yelled over there like a machine gun, "Keep your eyes open and stop doing too much PR at this time. The box office and next year's awards season will be good for us! Now that you are gone, the publisher Warner is complaining about us, you know?"

"What can I do!"

Nicole Kidman retorted: "If I don't return to the Cold Mountain crew, my character will fly. Someone is prying my corner!"

"Cold Mountain! Cold Mountain! Cold Mountain and Eyes Wide Shut are more important, you stupid woman? That's Kubrick's posthumous work!"

"I like Leng Shan more, I like the original novel, and I also like the love between the hero and heroine!"

"I think you have fallen in love with the original author?"

"Ha! Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror first!"

The couple started arguing endlessly about the three meals, and it has been a long time.

In the evening, when she learned from the original author and chief screenwriter Charles Fraser that APLUS was coming and hosted a banquet for the main creator, she also dressed up and rushed away.

"Forget it, he hates me, I still don't show up in front of him."

Instead, Pai Kingsley flinched, asked the reason without saying anything, she glanced at her manager suspiciously, took Charles Fraser's arm, and headed to the best French restaurant in the surrounding area.

Of course she knows that Charles Fraser has plans for her, and she doesn't mind using some tricks to hang her. She knows that Charles Fraser has a lot of power in the crew, which is good for her. She is naturally good at this, and there are no actresses. He would hate talented writers, especially Charles Fraser, whose appearance, age, and conversation are all online, and he is currently a popular fried chicken in the American novel world.

"What are you talking about?"

Charles Fraser came to the scene happily, "Hello, APLUS, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you?"

"Hello."

Song Ya got up and shook hands with him, "Hello Nicole." I observed at the shooting site for a while before, this Australian big white girl is really charming, because of deliberately acting ugly, Jennifer Connelly was completely inferior to her, it seems The acting skills were also crushed, which seemed to make director Tony Scott very unhappy.

"Hello."

The two arrived last. Charles Fraser pulled out the chair and she sat down gracefully, "Director Scott, Ms. Finn...Hi, Natasha, Jenny, Mr. Hayden..."

There is no banquet or party, it seems to be a dinner among friends, and she greets other people present.

APLUS also sat back, on the left was his agent Hayden, on the right was Xue Linfen who had given birth to him, and on the right was Natasha Kinski, cameraman, assistant director and other producers.

Tony Scott and Jennifer Connelly sat together, the two chatted quietly, and Jennifer Connelly looked obediently taught.

Nicole Kidman turned on the radar, casually coped with other people's conversations, and at the same time raised her ears to eavesdrop. Sure enough, Tony Scott was talking to Jennifer Connelly.

"I didn't talk about anything, I just stopped by to take a look, just pretend that I don't exist...you talk about yours."

Song Ya is a treater, but he doesn't want Leng Shan's creative team to think that he is pointing fingers. He cares more about the evening activities after the communication.

"The first lady's speech to Congress was great, she is a source of pride for all women, she does a good job, we all support her... OK?"

Halfway through the full set of French meals, the wine gradually heated up during the banquet, everyone let go, and the volume gradually increased.

Nicole Kidman eats very little, and Tony Scott and Jennifer Connelly's regular banter doesn't feel too threatening, and she has more energy to join the discussion.

I don't know who started the topic. The wife of the Grand Commander just gave a speech in Congress and was authorized by her husband to preside over some legislative work.

Song Ya knows that this is paving the way for her to participate in the campaign next year, but Hollywood actresses have different perspectives, and the media will not interpret it that way.

Nicole Kidman agrees with most of the media, "We need more women to participate in political affairs and legislative affairs. This is at least a good signal. The wife of the Grand Commander is a great woman."

"That's not right, Nicole, I agree with all your comments about the Grand Commander's wife, but she is only the first lady, and she should be doing her job as the first lady, not personally participating in the legislation..."

Charles Fraser, who is already conservative in politics, retorted, "In what capacity does she participate in congressional affairs? This is a matter of procedural justice."

"Oh Hohoho..."

The cold mountain crew was full of yin and yang, and the women frowned and coaxed, expressing dissatisfaction, "So procedural justice means that our women's seats in Congress are only a fraction of men's?" asked a female lead.

"That's not the same thing at all." Charles Fraser shook his head.

"That's the same thing!" The heroine, who is a feminist activist, became excited.

"Okay okay whatever you want, I don't want to argue with women about this..." Charles Fraser thought they were unreasonable.

"oh!"

This was even more of a hornet's nest, and the audience was uproarious. Nicole Kidman moved her chair to the side to express a clear line with Charles Fraser. Charles Fraser quickly apologized in a low voice, and everyone laughed again.

"APLUS, what about you?" The heroine found Song Ya again.

"You know, I've always been on the woman's side... er no, the feminist side."

Song Ya is not such a straight man, she spread her hands and smiled to express her innocence, "And I also support the first lady 100%."

"If I Werea Boy..." Jennifer Connelly hummed her ex-wife's song suddenly.

"Yes, yes, I wrote it." Song Ya raised her hands high and surrendered.

Everyone understood the stalk and laughed again. Some music critics once commented on this song that APLUS actually has a woman in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to write such delicate lyrics from a female perspective.

"What about you? Jenny, what were you talking about with Director Scott just now?"

Song Ya changed the topic away.

"The role, about the characteristics of the second female Ruby..." Tony Scott began to chat about acting skills, as well as discovering and experiencing the content of the role.

They were all engaged in art, and everyone joined in one after another, expanding the topic, and leaving the first lady behind.

The original author Charles Fraser naturally enjoys the absolute right to analyze each character, and he has become the central figure again.

The atmosphere of the dinner party is very good until the dessert stage after the meal.

"Aplus, what about you? What do you think of Jenny's Ruby?" Charles Fraser suddenly asked while wiping his mouth and signaling to Jennifer Connelly to leave after eating and drinking.

"I actually didn't read your novel carefully." Song Ya replied in a half-joking tone as there were too many outsiders at the scene.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again.

"Tell me, APLUS, just talk about it based on the script. How come you won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and also acted in a movie."

Director Tony Scott was also aroused, and there were not many opportunities to exchange specific performance details with this busy man, artistic genius, top superstar and top rich man.

All the men and women at the table paid attention.

"Okay ok...uh."

Song Ya had no choice but to agree, he closed his eyes, and reviewed the performance of the original second female lead, Renée Zellweger, in the play. The time was a bit long, and everyone waited quietly for him to speak.

"I think so, not necessarily right."

He opened his eyes and looked at Jennifer Connelly, "Jennifer, I think you can play this character like a duck, a scarecrow, or a German woman like a dragoon, how about it?"

"What kind of German woman like a dragoon..." Jennifer Connelly asked suspiciously.

Um? Don't you know this trick? I have also studied at Harvard and Yale, hehe, the schoolmaster is set to collapse, Song Ya looked at the others with a blank face, shouldn't, so he recited two short paragraphs directly, "Even if the rural girl didn't learn from her parents There was inherited the broad frame that the French disliked and the Germans were proud of, but because of the tiring field work in the sun and rain, because it was not easy to keep clean, because they had no money to groom themselves, because they dressed in spite of themselves. Respectable but terribly ill-fitting and inelegant clothes are, on most occasions, turned into duck-walking, brightly-dressed, clumsy scarecrows."

"People's tastes are different, and our German compatriots are probably right to prefer peasant girls. We respect the dragoon-like gait of strong cattlemen, and especially their fists; we give The checks of emerald green and fiery red that framed their strong waists deserve their due; and we honor the undeniable plane that runs from their necks to their heels, making them look like a piece of hair from behind. Boards covered with colorful calico!"

Nicole Kidman's intuition was not good, she rested her chin and stared at APLUS who was talking, pretending to listen, to hide her upset.

"That's it!" Charles Fraser exclaimed and applauded, "Who wrote this, not you, right?"

Who wrote it? Song Yayi recalled, bad, the great mentor wrote, "Uh, that's not important. In short, Jenny, you should imitate the gestures, movements, and expressions of German peasant girls before World War II. White rural women in southern America during the Civil War should be They're all similar, right? They're all from Europe anyway."

"Oh, by the way, also, learn to learn the movements and expressions of actresses in the silent film era, you know, that kind..." Song Ya leaned forward, with the backs of her hands on her waist, imitating Renee Zellweger's original treatment Demonstrated in the same way, once again provoked roars of laughter.

"Is that too exaggerated?" Jennifer Connelly asked hesitantly without smiling.

"You're used to playing intellectual, elegant women or school beauties, and you have a high degree of education...but the role of Ruby...you must make sacrifices and breakthroughs, which is what I have been emphasizing just now."

Tony Scott took over the conversation: "It's better to be exaggerated, and the film critics and film award judges will like it." Then he praised Song Ya from the bottom of his heart, "Your idea is better than what I just said to Jenny The way to deal with the request is better. Then...tomorrow, just do what APLUS said! Jenny."

Critics and film award judges will love it...

The director's words perfectly hit the worry in the heart, Nicole Kidman took a deep breath, and concealed her uneasiness by flicking the brow on her forehead, she aimed at the man who was watched affectionately by Xue Linfen and Natasha Kinski , gritted his teeth secretly.

The next day, Tony Scott rehearsed another scene. Most of the men went to fight, and some hooligans who stayed in the southern countryside began to gain power, killing people, stealing goods, and bullying men and women. In this scene, the two women were harassed.

"Go away! Otherwise, my mother will shoot!"

Jennifer Connelly has acted in dramas for so many years, her acting skills must be online, and her savvy is not low. Compared with yesterday, she completely changed her handling method, standing energetically beside herself as weak as a princess in distress, with her hips on her hips and loudly dragged The hooligans who are provoked by cursing in a southern accent, with vivid and pungent expressions, are just like what APLUS said, German women like dragoons.

It's over, it's over...

Her face was ashen, and she stared at Jennifer Connelly who was pouting her buttocks and cursing rudely from the corner of her eyes. Even the sloppy clothes couldn't hide the heavy dangling chest...

It's the exaggerated body movements of the silent film era...

Those old white male film critics...

"Ca! Nicole! What are you doing? Your mind is distracted!?" Now it was the director's turn to reprimand himself.

"What's the matter Nicole? Not happy."

In the evening, she was invited to have dinner with Charles Fraser, and the other party also noticed that she was preoccupied.

"Huh...it's nothing, I was trained by the director today." She replied with a sigh of relief.

"I heard Jennifer Connelly put a lot of pressure on you, right?"

Charles Fraser praised frankly: "APLUS's guidance is really useful, and you should communicate with him more, alas! This guy...doesn't know where he goes at night, and it's really pleasant to chat with him, Except for business."

"What business?" she asked.

"It's about business. He warned me before not to let me intervene in the specific affairs of the crew. Actually, it's nothing. I can understand...to save money and start work as soon as possible. But...Leng Shan is like my child... "

Charles Fraser babbled and complained.

"What?"

She is a white girl with a question mark, if I knew it, I wouldn't be so busy and spend time entertaining you, really! I said earlier that your power was taken away by APLUS!

Depressedly, she found an excuse to return to the hotel early, "Where are you going?" She saw her manager Pai Kingsley packing her luggage, "I need you right here! I encountered a lot of difficulties today."

"Nicole has to go back to Los Angeles, there is no way."

Pai Kingsley was overwhelmed, "Fergie's bitch started making trouble again for some reason, you know her, she is just a spoiled child, let alone, it will take a lot of time to go to the airport..."
