Hollywood Secret Garden

Angela took a deep breath, and simply put everything out of her head. She used to act in dramas for school celebrations, and when she was young, she often played musical instruments in front of relatives and friends at home, so I said She still has experience in acting, but the pressure on her for the first time in "40 years" is really a bit heavy, and it is inevitable that she will be a little timid, but when she goes all out again (why do you say again?) fully into the state.

"Hey, can you take it out for me?" Holly Parker called to a tall girl walking by, with a warm smile on her slightly childish face.

"Of course no problem." The girl pushed her yellow travel bag out of the package two or three times, and then asked friendlyly, "Are you from California?"

"Yes, I live in Napa Valley, Northern California, Holly Parker, nice to meet you." Holly reached out and shook her hand.

At this time, the administrator's voice came from the crowd: "Holly Parker?"

"This way!" Holly quickly raised her hand in response.

"Abraham Chalet!" the caretaker shouted to her from a distance with a megaphone.

"Same as me." The tall girl said immediately.

"Great, let's go." Holly immediately gave the girl a high-five, picked up her travel bag and walked towards the wooden house with her.

"CUT!" Charles shouted, clapped his hands lightly, and still nodded expressionlessly: "Very good, we're officially shooting!"

Angela breathed a sigh of relief. She saw Nancy cast approving glances. In fact, Nancy was also relieved at this time. The little girl is indeed very talented. She didn't tell her. When young actors made a movie for the first time, it was impossible not to repeat each shot five or six times. After all, children are different from adults. Although precocious children are better, they are a minority after all, aren’t they?It was Angela's first filming, and the first scene was only repeated twice, which is already very rare.

"CUT!" Charles' voice came again, this time he clapped his hands vigorously, "Very good, let's move on to the next shot." If you look closely, you can find a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Nancy knew that her husband meant to agree with Angela. Although he was usually a good gentleman, he was very strict when shooting movies. When he first talked about this little girl, although he didn't say No matter what, I agree with her script very much, but I definitely don't take her to appear in the movie in my heart.Now Angela has initially shown the ability to play this role well, which is a good thing for the entire crew.

The whole morning passed quickly, and Angela, who had entered the state, completed her several shots very well, and most of them could be passed in one go, but the scene in the afternoon was different.

"Is this... the clothes I want to change?" Angela looked at the plaid skirt brought by the dressmaker, and asked with a headache.

"Yes, Miss Mason, what's the problem?" The dressmaker looked at the clothes, but there was nothing special about them.

"Oh, it's nothing, thank you, I'll do it myself." The little girl sighed in her stomach, took the clothes and walked to the changing car.

Although it is not the first time to wear a skirt, and I believe it will not be the last time, but the feeling of uneasiness under the coolness really makes her feel painful. Even when she is sitting on a chair, she still can't help clamping her legs tightly, and at the same time, she is in the stomach. Gritting his teeth, this should be regarded as a cocoon.

"Hey, Angie, are you okay, why are you always frowning?" Jessica, who was fine so far, came over and waved in front of Angela, asking curiously.

"Dear Jesse, if you can, please don't disturb Mr. Claude's work, okay?!" Angela, who was sitting on the chair, almost gritted her teeth.Before that, several people had asked her what was wrong, Jennifer, Sparrow, Wells, Nancy, and even Mr. Crowder who was doing his hair now, but what could she say other than nothing ?

Oh please don't worry about me Nancy (Jennifer, Sparrow, Mr. Wells) I just don't like wearing dresses and that makes me feel really bad?This is definitely the stupidest answer, if she really answered like that, she will be the biggest laughing stock of the entire crew!So although she was very upset, she could only say a few perfunctory words.

Seeing her somewhat angry look, Jessica knew that she had something on her mind but couldn't vent it, she always did this, so it was best to let her be quiet for a while, she stuck out her tongue and ran away quickly, Angela took Sighing a little bored, he looked at himself in the mirror and changed into a different look.

If Holly Parker, who follows her father in "A Couple Made With Me", has an extroverted personality and looks wild, then Anne James, who follows her mother, appears quieter, like a little princess. Of course, both of them have The character of not admitting defeat, that's why there were conflicts at the summer camp.

However, it is of course easy to comment on a character, but when you need to play that character and interpret her, it is different. Compared with the few shots of Holly Parker in the morning, Anne James in the afternoon There is no doubt that there is much more room to play, especially in the rivalry with the butler. How does the little girl grasp this role and interact with the butler? At the same time, she can’t be the same as Holly in the morning, and she has to express her own small movements for the audience to distinguish. Careful correspondence is required.

"...After getting out of the car, walk here, take out the items in the trunk, and then don't move when you get here. All the dialogue and actions are done here, understand?" Charles told Angela and Martin's butler British actor Alan Barker was talking about the play, and after both of them nodded in understanding, they returned to their seats and were ready to start.

After getting into the car, the little girl rolled up her skirt and sat down on the seat and took a deep breath. Alan Barker who came in with her couldn't help comforting: "Don't be nervous, Miss Mason, you did a good job this morning, just like Just keep acting like that.”

"Thank you, Mr. Barker, I'm just... I'm just..." The little girl replied with a smile, pressing her skirt and keeping her legs tightly together. Just excited."

"My own script, wait, you mean..." Alan was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask what happened, the sound of the director turning on the machine came from outside, so he had to sit back in his original position and start to enter the role.

This scene is not complicated. Butler Martin sent Annie to the summer camp and then went back. The atmosphere was mainly driven by the performance of the actors. For Angela, this was the first time and it was very challenging.

Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Barker who asked the director to call a timeout first. He said a wrong line, which made Angela want to laugh but didn't dare. As a result, her shoulders trembled, and Mr. Shuye had to call CUT.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'll pay attention." Alan explained to Charles, and then secretly winked at Angela.

The little girl was startled, and then realized that Mr. Buck did it on purpose, and she couldn't help being grateful, and it seemed that the pain under the skirt was not so uncomfortable.

"Start again!" Following the director's voice, the entire crew began to shoot again. With Angela's peace of mind, although there were occasional mistakes, it was basically smooth. The little guy's performance was also quite satisfactory, but Charles always seemed to be right Not satisfied with anything, after taking several shots from different angles, he announced to take a break, and then watched the section just shot by himself.

Nancy, who has been paying attention to her husband, also came to watch with him: "Is there any problem?"

Charles shook his head and didn't speak. He just pointed to the small screen in front of him. Nancy stared at the screen. Angela's performance was actually not good or bad in the scene shot just now. For the first time, it counted. Not bad, but the question is why do you always feel a little strange?

"Charlie, are you saying that Angela's performance is a little... a little..." Nancy frowned, and just about to say it, another voice said it first: "It seems to be imitating someone, right?"

Nancy looked back in surprise, Angela did not know when she was standing behind her, frowning, a little bit unwilling and distressed, while her good friend Jessica stood awkwardly behind her beside.

"It's true. Your performance is not natural enough in subtle places. It doesn't matter if it only appears occasionally, but if there are too many, it will affect the whole movie." Charles said slowly. He didn't blame anything, but he did He kept looking at Angela.

The little girl nodded calmly: "I understand, can you give me 5 more minutes?"

After Charles agreed, she turned and walked towards the lake in the cabin. Jessica was worried and wanted to follow, but Nancy stopped her and put her index finger to her mouth and made a booing gesture. Jessica didn't quite understand , hesitated and had no choice but to go back to Jennifer and tell them about it.

At this time, the little girl who had already walked to the lake was staring at the lake in a daze. Although the clear water of Arrowhead Lake shimmered in the afternoon sun, it looked very beautiful, but Angela didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all, her mind was full of Who is she imitating in her sentence? Yes, she is indeed imitating, and it is Lindsay Lohan who is imitating!

Oh, to be exact, it's not an imitation, it's a subconscious reaction. Ever since she agreed to participate in the performance of "A Couple Born", she has been thinking about how to act, and the original version naturally came out of her head as a reference, although It's been many years, but she can still remember it in general, so when she thinks too much, it will be revealed unconsciously when the filming starts. Even she can't realize it. She went over to eavesdrop and peek because she was worried, she would never know that she still had this problem.

"Damn!" Angela covered her forehead and couldn't help moaning in her heart. Could it be that she is really not suitable for filming?
