American Fame and Fortune Chapter 310

Chapter 310: You can't live without going crazy

 Art comes from life, and actual life experience can bring more inspiration and passion to creators, allowing actors to create artistically explosive characters.

 The rehearsals between Kate and Martin not only allowed them to become familiar with the scenes, but also allowed them to experience life, and also improve each other's artistic pursuits.

 Achieve multiple things with one stone.

There are at least a dozen scenes with particularly high artistic content in the script. Although only half of them will be left in the final film, they must all be shot on the set.

 Martin is a dedicated and good actor with artistic pursuits who is willing to make personal sacrifices for the art of performance.

 The only problem is that in most of the scenes, he is extremely passive, and the rhythm is completely controlled by the heroine Kate.

 At nearly midnight, Kate struggled to get up and prepare to leave.

 There was no more rehearsal at this time, and Martin invited: "Stay here tonight?"

Kate turned around, glanced at Martin, smiled slightly and said, "You have to remember, we are here for work."

What can Martin say? All I can say is: "I understand, it is for the perfect artistic interpretation of the character and for the common artistic pursuit."

Kate said: "I will come over tomorrow night. We need to be more involved in these scenes and have harmonious emotional exchanges."

"No matter what, I will fully cooperate with you." Martin got dressed and walked Kate to the door: "If you have any requests, just ask, I will be here when you call."

Kate stopped in front of the door, like Hannah in the script, and gently brushed Martin's young face: "I know you won't be stressed, don't think too much, don't think too much, we are just here to work, this is a long time." A small section of the artistic path.”

 Martin had such a big heart, how could he think too much? He nodded immediately: "I have already had this awareness of dedicating myself to art."

Kate opened the door and left.

 Martin closed the door and slept peacefully. It was dawn as soon as he slept.

 After breakfast, he arrived at the set on time.

 Two days passed without the male protagonist, and Martin joined the filming again.

The crew is operating normally, and both Kate and director Sam are as focused on their work as before.

 Martin is naturally not troublesome and continues to work very professionally.

Before finishing work, director Sam convened a meeting with the main cast and crew.

"Except for the special artistic shots, all the scenes before the separation of the male and female protagonists have been completed." He looked at Martin and Kate: "We will start reshooting the artistic scenes tomorrow. We delayed the progress for a few days before, and this part of the scene only has three days. Time is available, I hope you will adjust quickly and devote yourself to the role."

 Martin said nothing, just nodded.

 Kate said: "I found the emotion and feeling that the heroine needs."

Sam added: "We will continue to clear the location and shoot tomorrow."

 Meetings are short in duration and break up quickly.

When leaving the studio, Kate and Martin walked together. She said: "I will continue to rehearse with you tonight, is that okay?"

 Martin is very artistic and wants to perform these scenes perfectly. He asked: "Is it still the same time last night?"

After leaving the studio, Martin drove Kate to the parking lot, and the two left in separate cars.

 Not long after dinner, Kate appeared in Martin's room on time.

 The two of them already had a tacit understanding. There was no need to say anything more. They just followed the specially designed script and scene. They were familiar with each other and communicated with each other full of emotions just like last night.

　Sometimes, real experience can indeed solve many performance problems.

 While filming the next day, Martin clearly felt that Kate was in better condition, completely controlling the rhythm and guiding him into the scene.

The artistic shots that I struggled with before can be basically passed in one step.

Director Sam is also in good condition. His shouts can be heard from time to time on the set: "Kate, yes! This is the feeling. It's not just the fishing nets, but also the emotions created. Take them and hit them hard!"

Although Martin was passive, he was inspired by Kate to fight and went all out.

Every time after the scene, Sam praised Martin: "Well done! Keep up your fighting spirit and keep doing this!"

 Martin could only respond with a shy smile like a leading actor.

It only took just two days to shoot all the artistic shots.

 Martin also sees how dedicated Kate and Sam are.

  Anyway, if it were him, it would be impossible to achieve this state.

Once upon a time, someone said that you can't make a living without going crazy in acting.

At that time, Martin had struggled from the bottom for more than 20 years before he gradually became a bit of a human being. He had never seen this state even in many famous veteran actors.

 He has never seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard some people talk about certain examples, such as the one who starred in Farewell My Concubine.

 When he came to Hollywood, Martin did more than just fool around with Nicholson and Leonardo.

 Similar topics are occasionally discussed.

 Leonardo thought he was far from it.

 drugs

 In the past two days, Kate may have entered a similar state.

  In contrast, Martin feels that he is still at the level of an ordinary actor with slightly better acting skills.

 The artistic scenes were shot one day earlier than planned, so the crew simply took a day off. Martin took a good rest and adjusted. After all, filming this kind of scene is very torturous, especially for an actor who cannot control the rhythm.

I took a nap in the morning and went to the airport to see Leonardo and Nicholson off to Paris in the afternoon.

Originally, the trio planned to have a party on the weekend.

But a female model named Poppy Delevingne had an appointment. Leonardo, a **** who couldn't bear to see his love, kicked Martin away and rushed to Chanel's party.

Nicholson is going back to watch the Lakers summer league game.

On his way back from the airport, Martin received a call from Lily.

"I'm going to Los Angeles. When will you come back from London?" Lily's suitcase was open in her room and she packed some clothes: "If you don't have time, I will go to school by myself."

 Martin will not be able to go back until the filming of this movie is finished. He said: "The earliest I can go back is August. You go to school first. Who will accompany you to Los Angeles? Elena?"

 Lily snorted, slightly dissatisfied: "She asked me to fly over by myself."

Martin said: "Send me the flight booking information and I will have someone pick you up at the airport."

"Okay." Lily complained slightly to her sister: "Elena refuses to go to Los Angeles no matter what."

 Martin ignored this, and instead said, "It's a good time that you came to Los Angeles. It will be more convenient for you to not have to mail the engraving materials in the future."

Lily was stunned while holding her phone. Is this why Martin helped him get a letter of recommendation?

 It seems that college life in the future will be miserable?

Several pictures and lines of words flashed through Lily's mind: Humanoid engraving machine!

Martin asked: "Why did you suddenly stop talking? Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the materials. They are all free. Don't worry about running out. I will purchase them in bulk from Australia."

Lily walked forward and came to the door. She bumped her head against the door frame. Her eyes were red and she almost shed tears of grievance, but she said, "I will try my best."

  Martin said: "I have confidence in you and fully support you."

Lily was silent for a moment, not wanting to talk to the person opposite.

From the receiver, Martin's commanding voice came: "Old Bu, please place an order for raw materials from Australia again. The quantity will be twice the previous one. Lily is about to go to Los Angeles to study at university. You must give her some gifts."

 This is a gift? Is this a gift? Lily was going crazy inside, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only say politely: "Martin, don't spend too much money."

  Martin said: "It doesn't matter, a little money."

Lily couldn't hold it anymore: "Elena called me, it must be about booking a flight. I will call you after the flight is booked."

Martin hung up the phone. He originally wanted to call Jessica and ask her to pick him up at the airport, but after thinking about it, he called Thomas instead.

　　Without finding something to do for the agent for two days, Martin felt like he was crying because the agent's commission had been taken away.

 A good celebrity client must never leave his agent idle.

 After a day of rest and adjusting to his condition, Martin regained his full energy and devoted himself to the subsequent shooting.

All the teenage scenes of the male protagonist have been filmed, and the scenes that follow are all middle-aged Michelle.

 Correspondingly, Kate has also become an elderly Hannah.

 If you want to win an Oscar, you must not only have the determination to sacrifice for art, but also have a breakthrough performance.

According to the plan, both Martin and Kate will change their looks to suit the so-called Oscar taste.

 Especially the role of elderly Hannah, which requires Kate to be old and ugly.

  Relatively speaking, Martin is still a handsome middle-aged guy.

 It is no exaggeration to say that it is 50% acting and 50% makeup.

Like The Devil Wears Prada, Theron's makeup is more important than her outstanding acting skills. Theron also has the determination to break the boat and torture a living beauty into a female version of abomination.

This is the breakthrough promoted by the Oscars, which is completely different from the standards of the three major European film festivals.

  The crew invited the top makeup artists and stylists in the industry, and Martin and Kate spent at least nearly two hours on makeup every day.

 Sometimes it can even take more than three hours.

Bruce will also find the right time to take a special shot of Martin putting on makeup, and with the consent of the crew, post it to Martin's blog, which arouses fans' amazement.

“It takes three hours to put on makeup, it's really **** Martin.”

 “Feel sorry for Martin for five minutes.”

“Being a star is really difficult and tiring, and it's not easy for Martin.”

 Crazy fans are spread all over the world regardless of country or region.

 After filming, Martin occasionally takes time to read his personal blog or the official website of CocCola.

 When he saw the fans' messages, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old Bu, do you know? I used to feel awkward and even disgusted when I saw these."

 At that time, when he saw the traffic people, it was no exaggeration to say that he was envious, jealous, and hateful.

 Bruce looked at the fans' messages and asked, “Not anymore.”

“Everyone is willing to listen to compliments.” Martin said directly: “I have become the person I hated the most.”

 He suddenly thought of Blake Lively: "I'm a horse rider and I even slept with a female fan!"
