American Fame and Fortune Chapter 790

Chapter 790 Women always have a strong ambition

 On the set, with music accompaniment, Martin and Saoirse Ronan danced in front of the camera.

  Thanks to a series of high-intensity and negative distance exercises including last night, the two of them cooperated extremely well, and the long shot of nearly a minute passed in one go.

Director Damien entered the set and explained to Martin and Saoirse the focus of the next scene.

 After talking for a while, he called the choreographer Mandy Moore over and the four of them discussed it together.

 The filming started again. Compared with the real dance performance, the dance scene is relatively simple.

 A shot of about half a minute is considered a very long shot.

Most dance scenes stop after ten seconds.

 Martin and Saoirse spent half a year preparing for the filming of this film. Although they are far inferior to professional dancers, it is not a problem to cope with the filming.

Even so, the dance scene took more than a day to film.

Intermittently during this period, Mandy Moore also made fine adjustments to some dance scenes according to Damien's requirements.

 Martin looked around for a while, and suddenly found that Catherine, who was not with Alexandra, was very beautiful, but her attraction to him had dropped off a cliff.

He quickly shook his head, it would be more interesting to wait for Alexandra to come over.

 He ​​was not free tonight, so he talked nonsense seriously: "The song and dance drama is very intense, so keep your energy and physical strength. I have invested tens of millions of dollars in this drama."

Damien also discussed with Martin and Louise that after the actors had joined the set to get a little familiar and adjusted, before they were physically and mentally exhausted from the long shooting, they would shoot the more consuming singing and dancing parts first.

Thinking of this, Martin couldn't help but frown, glanced at Bruce sitting at another table, and muttered to himself: "It's all because of this pervert, Old Bu. Over the years, my thoughts have gradually become perverted."

Hearing what Martin said seriously, Catherine thought about her future acting career and quickly promised: "Don't worry, you introduced me to the crew. I will do my best and won't embarrass you."

Without Alexandra Daddario's foil and the sisterly gimmick, Katherine Daddario is just a beautiful girl.

Martin has observed carefully and consulted Louise for her opinion. Both of them think Damien is of good quality.

 Catherine thought about it, quietly took out the business card she brought from the hotel, and handed it to Martin: "I live here."

 Catherine nodded, stood up and walked towards the makeup trailer assigned to several major female supporting actors.

“This is your first role that you can really talk about and it's very important.” Martin was not joking: “If you audition for other productions in the future, this will be a resume that you can use.”

 “Go get ready.” Martin waved his hand to her.

Martin said: "Not this afternoon or tomorrow morning."

Catherine listened and realized that Martin was a much better person than most of the producers, directors and top stars she saw in the industry.

 Looking at Catherine's back, Martin suddenly figured out why he didn't feel as attractive as she did in Boston.

The figure of Alexandra Daddario floated through his mind, and Martin found that Catherine, who was walking away, was a little more charming.

Just after lunch, Catherine Daddario, who rushed to the set, came to find Martin first, and the two sat in front of the cold drink shop diagonally opposite the studio to talk.

Catherine saw that Martin was not wearing makeup and asked: "Aren't you going to play this afternoon?"

Actors who appeared in other musical and dance dramas also joined the cast one after another.

 Martin and Louise agreed with him.

 Director Damien obviously has great ideas when it comes to singing and dancing.

 Martin saw Damien entering the studio door diagonally opposite, knowing that Damien had to prepare for filming, and planned to go there.

 A four-seater battery car drove over and stopped on the side of the road.

 Thomas's former assistant and current WMA female manager Natasha waved to Martin, and the long, straight black woman in the passenger seat got out of the car first.

 Clara was wearing a slim-fitting suit, which highlighted her nearly perfect figure. She took a few steps and came to Martin. She first smiled and waved her hand, then leaned down and bowed: "Martin, thank you for taking care of me."

 She wore a V-neck shirt under a slim-fitting suit jacket, which immediately revealed her strong career ambitions.

　　Many actresses always like to cover their chests when wearing low-cut clothing, for fear of being seen by people they shouldn't.

 In this case, why not wear high-collared clothes? Because they are afraid that the people who should see it will not see it.

 Someone like Martin.

 Clara bowed her thanks for a few seconds before straightening up.

 Always using these to test people, Martin was helpless and asked casually: "Are you still adaptable here?"

 “Very good.” Clara looked back at Natasha and said specifically: “The agent takes great care of me and helps me a lot.”

These words naturally fell into the ears of Natasha behind.

Whether it is intentional or not, these words make people feel comfortable.

Clara showed some self-consciousness: "After passing the audition of the crew, I have been participating in the rehearsals of the crew. After finishing the crew work, I went home to study the script. I have never even visited Los Angeles."

Although her words were not direct, they always explained what she meant: "I just took a general look at Beverly Hills when Natasha took me for a physical examination."

 Martin was a little surprised. He could only say that he was worthy of being from the Bangzi entertainment industry.

Natasha took a step forward and said, "Clara worked very hard and signed up for acting classes and accent classes."

Martin said directly: "I will take you to visit Los Angeles when I have time." Clara bowed slightly and said, "Sorry for your trouble, Martin."

 Martin waved his hand: "Go and get busy."

 Clara nodded and followed Natasha out of here.

When going to the makeup trailer, Natasha whispered: "You are a smart person. Don't think that you have Martin's support and just mess around in the crew. Some people you can tit-for-tat with, such as those who play supporting actresses together, and some people you can It's better to be patient, like the heroine Saoirse Ronan.”

 Clara learned about it carefully: “Saoirse Ronan is Martin's student.”

 “Still a lover.” Natasha said: “The kind that can enter Martin's house.”

 Clara responded: "I understand."

 On the other side, Martin entered the studio and found Damien.

  There was no scene for the male protagonist in the afternoon, so Martin simply acted as Damien's temporary assistant.

Damien was a little uncomfortable and reminded him specifically: "Martin, you promised that I will make the final decision on the shooting."

 Martin smiled: "You don't have to worry about me. I won't interfere with your work. I just want to see how to arrange the crew."

Damien understood and said: "If you want to ask anything, you can ask me during the filming break."

 “I will.” Even after saying this, Martin still rarely spoke and was more observing through his eyes.

 Not long after, all four actresses who appeared for filming this afternoon entered the set.

 In the next day and a half, the crew will focus on filming the singing and dancing scenes between the heroine and three female companions who share the house.

 For these four roles, the original plan was to choose four actresses of different skin colors to play them.

But after Mene joined, the crew already had black actors as facades, and the three supporting actresses chose a white, a Latina and an Asian.

 This combination is very Los Angeles apart from the incongruity of renting together.

 Whites, Asians and Latinos are everywhere.

Saoirse Ronan was the first to enter the set and saw Martin at the director's side. When he turned around, she waved her hand.

 Getting a response from Martin, she responded with a bright smile.

 Then, three other actresses who had put on makeup came over.

 Latino and the one with long black and brown hair are okay, but the one with the long and straight black body is really good.

Saoirse thought of Martin's ex-girlfriend Blake Lively, and estimated that the two were comparable in terms of figure.

 The filming started soon, and Saoirse focused all her energy on acting. She knew exactly who the teacher was when she was twelve or thirteen years old.

 After filming a few scenes, she didn't have to do anything extra. The actors and performances on the set completely revolved around her.

Saoirse is an actress who is very good at tearing apart. She once tore Emma Watson to pieces so painfully that she was so depressed that she did not dare to appear in public.

 But she will not lower her tone and take the initiative to fight with these people.

 As long as they don't mess with her.

 In the next scene, the scene changes from indoors to outdoors, and is actually still shot in a studio.

Damien called the four actors and emphasized: "Pay attention to your positioning." He glanced at the three supporting actors: "The three of you revolve around Saoirse, Saoirse is the center point of this dance. "

Even if the other three actresses have thoughts in their hearts, they have to hold it back and cooperate.

 The dance scene has been rehearsed for a long time, and the four actresses cooperated, so the filming went smoothly.

 Martin followed Damien and has been carefully observing him in scheduling every department of the crew. The director is the general director of the on-site shooting. He states his requirements and other departments must fulfill them.

The lighting is adjusted to match the brightness of the expected picture, the costumes are provided to suit the scene, the props and scenery are arranged on the set, the actors are responsible for expressing the scene planned by the director, and the camera crew records everything.

Unlike David Fincher and Christopher Nolan, Damien is not the kind of director who likes to shoot in person. He has enough understanding of the work of each department, but in fact he is not very capable and is more like a pure director. The director of the set.

Moreover, he has imagination and talent for dispatching and commanding, but lacks some experience.

 So Louise paired Damien with an experienced assistant director.

This assistant director is like the string of a kite, able to bring the young director who is prone to letting his thoughts back to reality at any time.

It's hard to say what will happen to Damien in the future, but he is very humble now and can listen to his deputy's opinions.

 After an afternoon of filming the song and dance scene, the four actresses sat in the rest area too tired to get up. Martin went over to ask a few questions, and Searcy took him out of the studio together.

Martin had just returned her to the makeup trailer and came out after taking off her makeup and changing clothes. Harold, the production office assistant, hurried over from the studio.

Seeing Martin, he trotted over quickly and said: "The screenwriter Mia and the arranger Sebastian had a quarrel in the studio, and no one could stop them."

Martin called Lao Bu and went to the studio not far away.
