[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 79

This side of "Perfume" was filmed smoothly amidst praise and insults from various media around the world.On the other hand, "Perfume" has also begun to shoot in an orderly manner.

"Elizabeth, your makeup skills are really perfect!" Under the hands of top Hollywood makeup artists, Fopper watched himself gradually change from a yellow man to a white man.Of course, the shadow of Fopper's appearance can still be seen from the outline.

"My make-up technique is of course perfect." Elizabeth Stewart said with a smile after tidying Fopper's long hair from the time she confirmed the shooting of "Perfume".One of the best makeup artists in Hollywood.Of course she has the arrogance to admit other people's compliments: "Of course, this is also indispensable for your cooperation. Sitting here for three hours and you don't move. You have worked hard. It is still fruitful. With this [-]th century body The costumes of the French street poor are definitely the original eighteenth-century French refugees."

"That's good." Fopper came to the set.And because of the matter, Fopper was notified that preparations were completed.So the crew on the other side has been waiting for a long time for Fopper's filming to start.

"Are you ready?" Seeing Fopper standing still, Director Tykwer said to the camera team, and sat in front of the monitor: "If you are ready, let's start!"

This side note also understood, and then the staff announced the start of filming of "Perfume".With one order, hundreds of extras on the set got busy, and the chaotic, dirty and bustling scene on the streets of Paris, France, in the eighteenth century suddenly came to life, as if going back in time, allowing time to go back to that moment.There is no need for Fopper to appear on the stage at this time, but he will also enter the play to perform something.In fact, every movie has many classic shots that appear inadvertently when shooting.Of course, every movie will shoot a lot of useless shots when the main line content remains unchanged.In this way, there will be trade-offs in the editing to form a perfect movie.

Time seems to have returned to the eighteenth century.Fopper, or rather Grenouille, was wearing the only factory rags he had, and his big-toed, almost worn-out cloth shoes.Look at this beautiful city.His hair was black and messy, and he was lower than lower.In the words of many people, his life in the world is a waste.Death is his release.However, he survived.And he still survived tenaciously like a germ, and he even came to Paris.

His eyes are so joyful and cheerful, which is different from the other hardworking workers in the tannery in the movie, although the clothes he wears are the same old factory clothes.But his eyes were frenzied and excited.He walked through the street and looked at the bustling crowd, ordinary people dressed as civilians, servants carrying sedan chairs, soldiers riding tall horses, soldiers with long-handled muskets on their backs... people wearing white wigs, people wearing hats People, people with luggage... All kinds of people passed by him, but when they passed by him, they all subconsciously turned sideways, as if they were afraid of bumping into him.

Standing on the bustling and unfamiliar streets of Paris, Grenouille raised his head nervously and looked around.Or rather than looking around, it might be better to say that he is obsessively breathing with his innate nasal cavity and feeling with his keen sense of smell.

That's the smell, a myriad of different smells!The cattle smell of tall horses.The smell of fine wine fermented and brewed by things, the smell of fragrant fans in women's hands, the smell of new clothes in the window, the smell of various spices, even Grenouille can feel the smell of mud splashed by things.As if just being punched in the face, Grenouille turned his head quickly, making him turn to the source of the smell every time he smelled a new smell. "Sometimes my eyes are even widened. It's like discovering a new world. My nose keeps moving and I'm breathing.

'Perfect...' Seeing Fopper's performance in the camera, Tykwer couldn't think of other adjectives to express it besides this word at this time: "This kind of acting skills, even the 40-year-old Tom Hanks Not too humble."

"Do you really have that kind of acting skills?" Hearing Director Tykwer's words next to him, Chang Ji was really surprised. The 40-year-old Tom Hanks, that was when he won the Best Actor Oscar for two consecutive years with "Philadelphia Story" and "Forrest Gump". It was the peak of Tom Hanks' performance period.

"Well." Nodded: "Even if Tom Hanks's sensitivity to camera capture is not as mature, it is not far behind, and this can be made up for by the cameraman. But his performance in movies is as good as it is. It's better than Tom Hanks, it's almost as if he already knows how the movie should be done. It's just that the control of the big scene is not strong enough. If this item is also strong, I will I won't say that anymore. What I will say is that he is more perfect than Tom Hanks!"

"This... really..." Chang Ji didn't know what to say.He looked at Fopper, who was performing in the arena now.He wanted to take a good look at whether this actor, whom Director Tykwer praised so much, was just a flash in the pan, or a steady flow of water.

Fopper, who was present, did not know what was going on outside.He is still performing hard.Because it is very difficult to put on your own makeup.So my own performance will be a long shot.Then I subtracted the mistakes and made up shots.Performing this way will make him more comfortable.

Because the boss was chatting with the receiver, Grenouille, who was left alone at this time, was wandering around.Then, while strolling around, Grenouille suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction behind him, as if he was about to see something, and his nose twitched vigorously, indicating that an indescribable smell was coming towards him, attracting his attention .

In a trance, Grenouille seemed to have forgotten everything, forgetting that he should stand guard in front of the door and wait for the cruel master to come back. He walked slowly, with a pilgrimage-like expression on his face, walking slowly, step by step, Go through the alleys and alleys and come to a glass window.He seemed to smell the most beautiful smell in the world, looking at the lady and the owner wearing a white wig in this perfume shop.

"What's the name of this perfume?" asked the lady.

"Eros and Psyche are my latest achievements." The owner introduced with a smile.

"Can I have a try?"

"Please let me come, dear lady..."

That bottle of perfume!Insane fragrance!

Grenouille just stood in front of the window, he just stared blankly, although there was not much expression on his face.But his eyes are full of desire, excitement, and lust!

"Very good!" There were no ladies and shopkeepers in the glass window, only cameras.But Fopper can fully express these things as if he can control the rhythm.Even in that final shot, Fopper's eyes literally speak.Let everyone see what he is thinking.

"Huh..." He stopped when he heard the shout.Fopper relaxed with a sigh of relief.In fact, he really entered the play just now.For this "Perfume", as long as he has time, he will envision it in his mind.Remember how the original version was performed.Then do your best to optimize it.

A day of filming went on like this.Because tomorrow is the weekend.And Fopper's entry into the film today is so perfect that the filming went smoother than planned.So Tykwer waved his hand.The whole crew was given a half-day rest tomorrow, as long as the filming continued in the afternoon.Of course, the shooting in the afternoon will continue to the scenes in the evening.Actually moved tomorrow's break to it.But even so, it was enough for Fopper and the others to be happy.Why?Because they can enjoy Paris tonight!

It's like Hemingway said half a century ago: "If you are lucky enough to stay in Paris when you are young, then Paris will always follow you, because Paris is a moving feast." Paris is dimly lit at night, and the Seine River There is a constant flow of people on both sides of the strait.Parisians enjoy the most happy leisure time. Even in winter nights, they will never forget to spend time by the Seine River. They will cheerfully respond to strangers' greetings in various languages.

Fopper, Scarlett and the others came to a bar. As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by handsome men and beautiful girls with holding hands. They kissed together, the deafening music sounded, people shaking their heads and tails, followed by The fierce electronic music twisted the body, and the wine glass in his hand was foaming, and it was spilled on the ground in the collision.

Scarlett was crazy alone, and quickly dragged the others to the dance floor to swing.There is no such thing as a real noble lady during the day.Fopper didn't go to bars very often.In fact, the purpose of coming here is just to gain experience.Chris is a crazy person, which Scott told Fopper, and after noticing this, Fopper also found that Chris restrained himself as much as possible.After all, there's still something in Fopper's heart that doesn't like the chaos of bars.But that's how people are, seeing people pay for you.You yourself are touched.So Fopper decided that he should also get used to the atmosphere here. Fortunately, when he went back, he would go to play with Chris if he had nothing to do.Save him from suppressing his own nature.
