One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty One Is Not a Monster

There are large tracts of corn planted on the broad fields, and the green branches and leaves are thriving, and there is no end in sight. Huge trees towering into the clouds support a small blue sky, becoming a landmark to measure this vast land, reducing a little sense of loneliness.

There is a small wooden house in the open space near the main road, like a scarecrow standing in the field, quietly waiting for a corner of quiet life, this is a common scene in North America, especially in the central region, except for the yellow Beyond the sandy Gobi and deserts, the majestic mountains and forests, the existence of farms and ranches constitutes a suburban life far from trouble and noise. Occasionally, there is a sense of leisure and comfort in a paradise.

Jessica Chastain sat on the sofa with her back to the window, flipping through the script in her hand with the help of the golden sunlight outside the window, reading the lines intently.

Reading scripts is one of Jessica's personal habits.

Jessica has never considered herself a gifted and talented actor, she needs to spend more time researching characters and lines, and more energy researching performance and interpretation; and she now averages four to four shots per year. Five works, constantly switching between roles, is due to this diligence.

Before the success of seven works including "The Tree of Life" and "The Help" in 2011, Jessica experienced a long period of no-name, and her desire and urgency for performance was like being suppressed under a volcano. Magma is always waiting for the opportunity to perform, so after becoming famous, she cherishes every opportunity, and it can even be said to be crazy. But an increase in quantity does not mean a decline in quality.

In order to ensure the quality of her performance, Jessica spent more time on script research, almost forgetting to eat and sleep.

Does this habit sound familiar? Jessica and Renly have almost the same emphasis on script, but Jessica is even crazier and more focused than Renly. She devotes all her spare time to acting, all year round, all year round.

Later, when Jessica went to the mainland to promote, she learned that her nickname was "Sister Worker", in order to praise her for completing the feat of shooting seven films in 2011. She personally likes this title very, very much, because it is the The most direct reward for her hard work and diligence.

Now, the filming of "Interstellar" has not officially started, but Jessica's work has officially begun. Not just to recite lines, but also to understand the lines of other characters, through the context of these lines to capture the relationship between characters and characters, and then understand the whole story.

What's more, the story of "Interstellar" is relatively special. Cooper's relationship with his two children Tom and Murphy has gone through different life stages.

There have been many earth-shaking changes; at the same time, the reactions between the different stages are also closely related. In other words, Jessica needs to understand the stories of childhood and old age, and then have a deeper understanding and interpretation of the middle-aged period she plays.

It's not an easy process, but Jessica enjoys it. Although Jessica had almost no role in the early stage of the crew, she still rushed to the crew as soon as possible and made preparations.

"Interstellar" is different from any of Christopher Nolan's previous works, because the focus of the film is on the power of time folded through wormholes, which also means that family bonds and traces of time are bound to be the key parts; and Christopher is the most important part. What he is good at is film structure and rhythm control, and the performance part is all handed over to the actors, which also puts forward higher requirements for the actors.

At this time, Jessica's eyes fell on the actor Cooper's lines, and she carefully pondered the meaning and emotions behind those words, and then she couldn't help but start to think: If it was Renly, what would he choose? Interpretation? Further, how will he understand?

"Renly is here!"

Suddenly, there was an excitable shout, which exploded in the cabin like thunder on the ground. Although I was so excited that I couldn't help myself, the voice was firmly suppressed in the depths of my throat, lest my own shout would be overwhelmed. Attracted Renly's attention, as if...

It's like seeing dinosaurs with your own eyes. The thrill of being so close makes you want to scream, but you are afraid that your voice will attract the attention of the dinosaurs and cause death, so you bind the voice in your throat. Inside, he shouted in a low voice, but his facial expressions and body movements couldn't hide his true emotions.

Dinosaur.

Jessica thought about it again, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help blooming, because she just thought of the picture of Murphy and Tom seeing Cooper transformed into a dinosaur, and she was really happy. Can't hold back.

Looking up, the cheering figure of Mackenzie-Foy came into view. The excitement of stomping on the spot was truly unbearable, and he could only sigh: youth is so good.

Can't blame Jessica for such a sigh. In fact, all the other crew members who were staying in the room at this time also showed similar expressions, just like the uncles and aunts were looking at the little girl, that was full of vitality Filled with unparalleled vigor, the corners of his mouth rose like this.

Mackenzie was born in 2000, a standard millennial baby. To be precise, he officially turned thirteen years later in two weeks.

She made her debut as an advertising model, photographed children's pictorials for many clothing brands, and then made a cameo appearance in some TV series. The first role leading to the door to the big screen of Hollywood movies was Edward, the hero and heroine in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn". and Bella's daughter Renee Smee.

At the beginning, the choice of this character was highly anticipated. Although the film series had no value in the eyes of the academics, there was no doubt about its great commercial achievements; moreover, the role of Renee Smee was very special in the original novel, as a human and A vampire hybrid, her growth is very rapid, and she has different characteristics at the same time, which also puts forward high requirements for actors.

More than a thousand girls came to audition, and finally Mackenzie stood out and got the role. After the movie was released, Mackenzie also deservedly received a lot of attention. This was her debut on the big screen, and it also made her blockbuster debut.

However, as a child star, the number of roles and works in recent years has been decreasing, and Mackenzie has not been able to get more performance opportunities. After that, Mackenzie only starred in the horror movie "Summoning," in which she played one of five daughters; it wasn't until the "Interstellar" casting announcement that Mackenzie reappeared in the public eye.

The casting process of "Interstellar" is not openly recruited, but selected by major brokerage companies. Because Christopher hopes to find actors with acting skills and camera experience, which can reduce his work and energy in adjusting/teaching actors, internal selection has become an effective solution.

Having said that, the name of "Christopher Nolan" is loud enough and brilliant enough that countless young actors hope to be part of the work, and the intensity of competition is self-evident; later, the "Interstellar" crew The aspect went further and said that he hoped that the age of the actors could be controlled under the age of twelve, and it would be better if they could be under the age of ten.

After some inquiries, the name "Renly Hall" came to the surface.

Although Renly can use makeup to conceal his age, there is no problem in playing a father in his mid-thirties; but Christopher still hopes to create a sense of realism as much as possible. Actors with two children in childhood can adjust their age a little, then Couldn't be better.

Hollywood is in a frenzy all of a sudden. Almost all young actors of the right age came out in full force. In order to select suitable actors, the crew was completely blindsided. Finally, after nearly two months of selection, the role of Mackenzie Foy was confirmed. Mackenzie is not the most suitable age, but her eyes and spirituality are impressive.

After learning that she could perform with Renly on the same stage, Mackenzie couldn't contain her excitement. After arriving in Calgary, she kept discussing "Renly, Renly and Renly", and the whole crew Everyone knows that there is a little fan girl here who is eagerly waiting for Renly to appear.

Today, Renly finally appeared, but Mackenzie was a little timid, jumping on the spot excitedly, but never dared to step forward.

Seeing Mackenzie's actions, Jessica couldn't help laughing, "Mackenzie, aren't you going to be the first to greet Renly? If you miss it, Renly will definitely be disappointed."

"But! But!" McKenzie seemed to be in a rush to urinate. He kept stepping on the spot and cast his eyes for help, but after all, he didn't dare to go forward alone, and he didn't even dare to leave the door of the house easily.

Jessica couldn't help but want to tease the little girl, "Hey, what to do, Renly is like a monster, I'll tell him later, he's probably going to be sad."

"No. No, no." Mackenzie waved his hands again and again, but wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how to speak. In the end, he could only droop his shoulders in annoyance. Muttered for help, "Jessica."

Jessica laughed happily, but still complained angrily, "I'm going to be jealous now, I thought we were sisters, but now you see Renly and it changes."

Mackenzie stood there, neither advancing nor retreating, helpless, almost crying.

At this moment, a little boy standing next to him took the initiative to walk out, and stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, "Go, I'll go with you."
