Chapter 144 142 Guest Director Gradually Changes in Theron's Heart

Chapter 144 Guest director gradually changes the image in Theron's mind

On the set of Monster, Eric handed the script to Patty Jenkins.

"The filming of Blue Is Blue is almost finished, and there are only 5 scenes left. I expect it to be finished tomorrow."

Patty took a closer look and found it was still in the familiar style, with extremely detailed storyboards.

"So, do you want me to finish it?"

"It depends on your progress. I will give you higher authority this time, and you can play freely."

"What?"

Eric took the script back from Patty, and then tore it violently. More than a dozen pages of the script were torn off immediately.

He picked out the text page and handed it to the other party: "Look, there are no storyboards. You can use your creativity. I won't restrict you."

"OMG! This is really rare generosity!" Patty Jenkins opened her mouth in surprise.

"Hehe, art films are different from commercial films. Blue Is the Warmest Color requires creativity. Maybe you can bring a different feeling to it."

"Okay, I accept this temporary employment."

Eric was quite relieved to see Patty leave excitedly.

It may not be possible to shoot commercial blockbusters for her, but she can definitely produce satisfactory works if she shoots art films, especially art films with a female perspective.

Just like Wonder Woman 1984, this film was completely written and directed by Patty Jenkins, and she had absolute dominance on the set.

The result is a superhero blockbuster, which was turned into an art film. The audience didn't want to see the exciting fighting scenes.

Although the literary dramas that the audience didn't like to watch were delicate and could move a group of female audiences, they were undoubtedly a minus for superhero movies. They were too dragged out.

What percentage of female audiences like to watch superhero movies? What everyone wants to see is Gal Gadot wielding a sword and fighting the enemy! Just like the first Wonder Woman.

And the success of the first film was not entirely due to Patty Jenkins. This time, we really have to thank Warner.

If you have watched the movie, you will find that the villain, Ares, appeared inexplicably. There was not enough foreshadowing in the early stage, and he just popped out of nowhere.

The reason is that Ares was not originally set as a villain in the movie, and there was no big battle at the end. Warner Bros. felt that it was not good after watching it. It was too un-superheroic, so they decisively intervened to change the play.

Everyone knows how bad the second part was after the power was given up!

Watching Patty leave, Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci came over. The latter's most well-known role is Wednesday in the Addams Family, with a baby face that never grows up.

She is 23 years old this year, but she still looks like twelve or thirteen years old. Ten years later, she still looks like twelve or thirteen years old.

"Eric, why did the director leave?" Theron asked curiously.

Eric shrugged: "Now, I am the director of "Monster", and Patty has been assigned other work."

"Ah?" The two women showed puzzled expressions at the same time. Performance

"Don't be surprised, it's just a cameo, just this afternoon."

The two women breathed a sigh of relief, this is not bad, their partnership with Patty is still very smooth, and suddenly changing the director is not very reassuring.

Especially Eric's reputation is seriously split, in Schrödinger's state, before the first work is released, no one knows how good he is.

Seeing the worries of the two women, Eric smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I am good at shooting female themes, especially homosexual themes."

"Let me see which scene we should shoot first."

Wednesday raised the script in his hand: "Scene 25, the first night that Theobi and Irene spent together."

"Okay, give me ten minutes, let me sort out the plot."

Eric quickly flipped through the script. As a classic film that won many awards around the world that year, he naturally watched it several times. Whether it is a movie or a real event, he is more familiar with it, and has watched documentaries.

As an adapted movie, "Monster" is actually suspected of deliberately creating dramatic conflicts and tensions.

For example, the prostitute killer Irene played by Charlize Theron is ugly in the movie, but this image is designed according to the image of the real Irene after she was imprisoned for many years.

In reality, Irene had certain requirements for her appearance during the years of committing crimes, including the early years of imprisonment. Her appearance cannot be said to be beautiful, but at least it is acceptable, and her face is definitely not full of flesh.

Otherwise, why do you think she solicits customers? Besides, she once married a rich boss, so she has good looks.

Theobi is completely a magic change. The real Theobi is named Tiria Moore. She is not some naive girl in the movie, but a woman a few years younger than Irene.

Her personality is also different from the completely selfish character in the movie. She lived with Irene for five years.

In the first three years, Irene did not commit any crimes, and even got rid of bad habits such as stealing and violence. It can be seen that the lives of the two should be relatively happy.

In reality, these two women should have really loved each other, not as in the movie, where Theobi was purely using Irene.

Eric roughly flipped through the script and discussed it with Theron and Wednesday. It was confirmed that Patty was still taking the path of magic modification.

Eric decided to add a little helplessness and warmth to this case, not to whitewash it.

After all, serial killings are very obvious social perversions of revenge, and no reason can be used to whitewash it, but at least it is closer to reality.

People are complicated, and this should be reflected.

After thinking for a while, Eric picked up a pen and paper and began to change the lines. As he watched the pen tip slide quickly on the paper, Theron turned around and walked to the side, looking at the words he didn't understand backwards.

Feeling the shadow, Eric raised his eyes to look at her, and then continued to write.

"Sorry, if you are not used to it, I can stay away." Theron said softly.

"It doesn't matter. You'll need these lines soon anyway."

"Is it for me?"

"You two have them, but you have the most. I want to add some tension to this scene and make Erin and Obi's characters more full.

Hearing this, Wednesday walked to his other side and looked down.

After almost an hour of editing, deleting and writing non-stop, Eric finally came up with a result that he was relatively satisfied with.

Theron and Wednesday stood by for an hour, looking down at him writing and drawing.

The staff next to them looked at the three of them carefully. As the big boss, Eric frowned and didn't say anything, so no one dared to take the initiative to approach.

Originally, there was a special person on the set responsible for moving the actors' chairs, but he stood by and didn't dare to come over, so Theron and Wednesday could only stand there.

But they were both very professional actors. Seeing Eric changing the lines on the spot, they were also fascinated and didn't feel tired at all.

"OK, I think this is about it." Eric said slowly.

Then he looked at the two of them: "Sorry, the handwriting may not be clear, it's a bit messy, you can ask me if you don't understand anything. "

Theron and Wednesday looked at each other, the former shook her head slightly, while the latter, who had even fewer lines, also shook her head to indicate that she didn't need it.

"Can you understand it?"

Theron nodded slightly: "I'm standing next to you. It seems that this is the right choice. In fact, I have almost memorized the lines."

"I have no problem either. I have memorized the lines, and you look so handsome when you are serious, director!" Wednesday was not to be outdone.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Hahahaha

It's comfortable to work with excellent actors, and you don't even need to ask people to make copies.

Eric stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, take your positions, "Monster" Scene 25, action! ”

The plot of this scene is that Seobi brings Irene home and lets her enjoy a long-lost hot shower and warm bed. She used to live in a dirty warehouse.

Two marginalized people come together, they warm each other up, feel friendship from each other, and make love.

Eric added a scene after the two made love.

At this time, the two are in harmony, and Irene, who feels the taste of love, also opens her heart.

She tells her past, and Eric directly adds Irene's real experience in reality to enrich the character's personality.

In fact, Patty also briefly mentioned it at the beginning of the filming Part of Irene's past, but the script didn't focus much on this aspect, and the portrayal was too simple, so Eric filled it in for her.

In the shot, the two people hugged each other in the afterglow after enjoying themselves.

Wednesday lay on Theron, only half of her face was exposed, and no expression was needed.

Theron was in a male position. She had to hug and pat each other gently like a man, and at the same time, she had to show the expression of orgasm like a woman.

Looking at Theron with her eyes closed and breathing lightly, Eric called a cut.

"Theron, make your expression bigger. You have to understand that Irene is a prostitute, and the nature of her job has made her numb to making love."

"But now she feels that she has found true love, and that kind of love is passionate, and the body and expression should also be passionate."

"Okay director, I understand!"

Theron made an OK gesture.

"Monster, scene 25, action! "

This time, Theron's expression was much bigger, and she even added a word "God!"

Her eyes were blurred, like a smoker who had been holding back for a long time. The enjoyment and fascination of a mouthful of nicotine entering the lungs was really perfect.

But after a moment, her expression changed again. She rubbed her eyes and roughly wiped her nose with toilet paper.

Seeing this, Wednesday raised his head: "Erin, what's wrong with you?"

Blowing her nose hard, Theron shook her head slightly: "Nothing."

"No, you must be in trouble. What happened? Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Theron hurriedly denied: "No, of course not Theobi, it's my own fault."

"Tell me, why?" Wednesday continued to ask.

After hesitating for a moment, Theron said in an awkward and hesitant tone: "I just thought of some bad things, but they are all in the past. "

But in the close-up, Seobi stared at her with his eyes wide open.

Wednesday's eyes were already big, and they contained a strong curiosity, just like her somewhat childish character.

"Say it, I want to understand you, Irene, just like you already know me very well."

"Cut!"

Eric shouted and interrupted the filming.

He pointed to Wednesday: "Rich, this line has two meanings. One is that you have revealed your past to Irene in the bar, and the other is that you have just completed the great harmony of life."

"During the process of making love, Irene is the dominant party. She controls and explores you, so she already knows you very well."

"So when you say this line, your tone should contain a hint of shyness and cuteness, which is more in line with your age and personality. "

After listening to Eric's interpretation, Wednesday was a little surprised: "Director, is there such a meaning? I didn't realize it at all."

Eric laughed: "I said, I am very good at shooting female love themes."

"Yes, now you can see it."

The shooting resumed, and at the request of Theobi, Irene began to slowly tell her tragic past.

"Theobi, my life was terrible before. My father was a bastard and a pervert. He liked young girls."

"Later I heard that he went to prison. Maybe he couldn't stand the beatings in there, so he committed suicide."

When talking about her father's suicide, Theron smiled, and it can be seen that she hated her father.

"Then my mother disappeared one day, and I never saw her again. I was adopted by my grandparents."

Wednesday sighed slightly: "Parents just like to abandon their children. Fortunately, you still have grandparents."

Theron said in a sarcastic tone: "Fortunately? The word is really well used."

"Haha, you know? From me

At this point, Theron suddenly became manic, suddenly opened the quilt, roared and screamed hard, like a flood that suddenly broke through the dam.

Wednesday seemed to be frightened, with a frightened expression and hurriedly moved away from her.

Until Theron stopped going crazy, looking at each other with anger and tears in her eyes.

Wednesday slowly crawled over and hugged Theron in his arms. The status of the two was changed from male to female at this moment.

Theron continued weakly: "When I was fifteen, my grandmother died, and then I was kicked out of the house until you met me. "

"What makes me more regretful is why that old bastard didn't commit suicide like his son-in-law, maybe he is still alive and well now. "

"There is another thing I almost forgot. I became addicted to drugs and started to use my body to get drugs."

"Then I"

"No, don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore, Irene!"

Wednesday interrupted Theron's story and hugged her tighter, and the two of them just leaned on each other.

"Cut! Very good, your performance is perfect, this scene passed!"

Hearing this, the two women let go of each other with a sigh of relief. It was June now, and even if there was air conditioning on the scene, it was still quite hot to film in the quilt.

"I thought it would take a lot of NGs, but it didn't go so smoothly. Richie, you did a good job, Theron, I told you that you would win an Oscar."

Theron laughed heartily: "Director, you have changed my mind too. It seems that what those newspapers said is all false."

"What?"

"They said you don't understand directing at all, you are just a hot-headed rich second generation. If they were here, they should apologize to you."

Eric put on a very serious expression: "We agree on this point. ”

“Really? But I was just kidding, saying something polite to compliment you.”

“What? Hiss, it seems that the publicity and public relations fees for “Monster” can be saved.”

Eric scratched his non-existent beard and pretended to think.

Theron immediately waved his hands: “Don’t do that, Director Patty will tear me to pieces, that was just a joke.”

“Really? Me too.”

Hahahaha
