Hollywood Secret Garden

Angela turned her head abruptly, staring at Kate in a daze.The other party stood there calmly, but his head was slightly tilted, his eyes were downcast, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, which made the girl feel dazed for no reason.

"Hmm... ok... ok, no problem." The frustrated director Ike stammered almost subconsciously. Fortunately, he quickly recovered and waved his hand to lead the others out of the room.

There was silence all around, and the two women stood there for a long while without moving, let alone talking.After a long time, Kate sighed softly: "It's just a passionate scene."

"No! I will never accept it!" Angela blurted out, the firmness in her tone was extremely obvious.

"Why?" Kate's voice suddenly became angry, "I have made such a change!"

"Do you think it's fun to make out with you in front of the camera?" Angela turned her head sharply, gritted her teeth and looked at Kate, her chest rising and falling, "Do you think people are watching us take off our clothes and make out with the camera? Would it be fun to film it and show it to people all over America and the world?!"

She clenched her fists tightly, and her whole body was trembling slightly with excitement: "I can take off my clothes in front of you...I can...but in front of the camera and in front of others...never...never!"

"Never in front of other people? I should be happy, shouldn't I?" Kate said sarcastically.

Angela's face suddenly turned pale, her body swayed and she took a few steps back to lean against the wall.Kate didn't speak anymore, but turned around and covered her forehead with her hand.After a while, the jerky voice came out from the girl's mouth: "I see."

"No..." Kate turned around abruptly, an eager look flashed in her eyes, but she turned her head away after waving her hands.

"I won't budge on some bottom lines." Angela lowered her head and moved towards the door, her voice still jerky.

A turmoil seems to have passed in this way, but the scene was delayed and filmed several days later, and the content was also revised.Although the details of the kissing scene and the bed scene are preserved, the clothes will definitely not be taken off, so some efforts must be made in the montage technique.Even so, the shoot didn't go well.

"Cut!" Ike yelled loudly, frowned deeply and thought for a few minutes before walking in front of Kate: "Kate, you feel a little too much. Irene is indeed very excited and enthusiastic at this time, but you What I had just now was not only enthusiasm, but also an indescribable...possessive desire? Hey! This feels good, but it's better to be restrained."

The director who discovered the new idea clapped his hands happily, but turned his gaze to Angela: "It's much better than before, Angela, but still a little nervous and stiff...Maybe take a few minutes to adjust your emotions?"

Although he was hit hard by Angela before, as a personality director with a good reputation in the independent film circle, Ike didn't shrink back because of this—as long as he didn't touch Angela's bottom line.

"It's okay, let's come again." Angela, who was sitting by the bed in a baggy T-shirt, shook her head.Now she just wants to finish this group of shots as soon as possible. Whenever Kate hugs her and kisses her in front of the camera, she always feels a sense of resistance and sadness in her heart. She doesn't want this feeling.

"Okay, then let's continue." After realizing that Angela was not joking, Ike nodded and went back behind the camera, and then waved to the reporter to signal that he was ready to start.

Think of yourself completely as Sybil, and Kate as completely Irene.Although Angela raised her head to look at Kate in front of her.But her obsession had blinded her eyes and she couldn't see anything else.

"Act 133, Scene 74, prepare."

"Cut!"

"Act 133, Scene 74, prepare."

"Cut!"

"Act 133, Scene 74, prepare."

"Cut!"

After repeated repetitions, this shot finally passed, and Ike was very satisfied with the effect.However, he wanted to take advantage of the victory and chase after seeing Angela who sat silently by the bed after finishing the shot, and Kate who came back after a while with an excuse to go to the bathroom, wisely chose to end today's shooting.

After that, the progress was very smooth. Except for a few times when the shooting was temporarily interrupted due to the sudden heavy rain, the actual progress was half a gear faster than the plan.Both Kate and Angela were in excellent condition, especially the kiss scene in the alley behind the bar was over in one go. This situation made Ike surprised and puzzled at the same time.

As a director, keen observation skills are essential, so Ike also noticed that Kate hadn't talked to Angela much since she came to the crew, and there seemed to be a very subtle relationship between the two.But Ike didn't think about it elsewhere. Everyone knew that the two of them were like sisters, so he thought Angela and Kate were just quarreling.

He once asked a few insincere words about this, but neither of them talked about it.This kind of thing is not something he can intervene as a director, and it didn't affect the shooting, so he ignored it in the end.

By the first ten days of June, Angela's scenes were basically finished shooting, and according to the schedule, she would leave the crew and go to Montana to prepare for the start of "Brokeback Mountain".But before that, there was a small incident—although Ike put all the public scenes at the end, and Angela didn’t have any photos because of her mediocre makeup when shooting in cafes, restaurants, amusement parks and other places. be recognized.But after all, she is not as ugly as Kate, so she was finally spotted by sharp-eyed people when shooting the last scene at the skating rink, and then surrounded by three layers inside and outside.

To put it more exaggeratedly, it seemed that half the town had come to the skating rink.If it wasn't already June, the news of the shootout between Angela and the gangsters had almost subsided, and the scene might have been even more spectacular.

In this way, it is conceivable how much impact it will have on shooting.Fortunately, the actual progress exceeded the plan in the previous shooting, so it is acceptable to delay for a day or two.Of course, Angela had to make some sacrifices.

"It's a good thing that the director's arrangements are correct, otherwise you don't know how many times you would have been harassed in the past half a month." Mei Weiss, who was sitting next to Angela, said so when she drove away from the set.

"This kind of situation won't happen in Montana. I'm just a director, and I don't need to show my face too much." Angela said, leaning her head on the seat and looking tired, "Frankly speaking, I think the gangster who wants the ransom wants to The chances of kidnapping me are higher than terrorists kidnapping me."

"Unfortunately, you have to tell your boss about this, and it's useless to tell me." Meivis shrugged, glanced at the bodyguards in front of her, and then asked in a tone that only the two of them could detect: "To be honest, Angie , your relationship with Kate..."

"I don't know when the FBI agents became so gossip?" Angela stopped her before she finished speaking, and then she turned her body sideways: "Sorry, please let me take a nap."

"Here we go again." Meivis frowned slightly, and then showed a relieved look.Both of them are very selfish people. If it weren't for the gunfight in the street, God knows how far the current conflict would have reached.But fate is also very interesting, at least she never thought that she would become friends with Angela when she received the mission.

She and that Miss Kate Beckinsale can't really be a couple, can they?Although she was robbed by Angela, Mei Weisi still thought so in her heart.Once we became friends, those things that were ignored because of work before we became friends naturally fell into my eyes, and her insight was much higher than ordinary people, just being curious is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing...

After two days of rest in Helena, the capital of Montana, Angela and her team came to the selected shooting location, which is located in a small town called Courtley in the north of Montana near Alberta, Canada.Although Ms. Prue lives in Wyoming, the prototype for the mountain is in Montana.And to the north of Montana is Alberta, where some of the most beautiful national parks in the world are concentrated. It is a breeze for the crew to go and shoot in the past.

The reason why I like the town of Courtley is that its environment is very convenient. It is not far from Canada with beautiful mountains and beautiful grasslands near the Rocky Mountains, so Angela chose this town at the first time. place.

"I have to admit that both of you seem to have a good riding posture." After Gyllenshire and Ledger jumped off the horse, Angela nodded and said, "I can see that you have practiced very hard. "

"Thank you for the compliment." Maybe it's been a long time since I saw her, but Gyllenshire was much more relaxed in front of her. "Why don't you show off your riding skills, Angela? I heard that you are very good at riding."

"There will be a chance, but not now," Angela shrugged, "You know, I just finished the performance of a movie, and I just use these few days to rest in nature and clear my mind .

When everything is in place, we can start right away, don't relax, Jack, honestly, Heath is more serious than you. "

Heath Ledger who came over just heard this, faced the gaze that Jack was looking at him, pressed the cowboy hat on his head to cover his eyes, spread his hands and said nothing, just so low-key go away.

"You can't take silence as serious just because Heath's character is restrained and not good at expressing feelings? It's not fair to me!" Gyllenhill muttered, seeing Angela's "murderous" eyes, He quickly raised his hand: "Okay, I see."

After a pause, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Honestly, what do you think, Angela? I mean, while directing a male gay movie, you also take on a lesbian role."

"Why, are the prices quoted by those tabloids high?" Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Of course not, I'm just...a little curious." Gyllenshire hurriedly explained.

"Guess for yourself." Angela left without looking back, and Gyllenshire could only scratch his head helplessly: "Sure enough, I can't argue with women... No, I really can't argue with Miss Genius."

In fact, Angela didn't take to heart the fact that the media exposed her as a gay character in "The Devil"—now that someone knew about the itinerary, do you still expect to keep it a secret?And the homosexual gossip has been clung to her since this year, and the tabloids are expected to show mercy because of this?But these are not the main reasons. As long as she thinks of the movie "The Devil", Angela will have the scene of shooting Sybil calling Irene in front of the police that day in Angela's mind.Ike praised her for expressing Sybil's emotions very well, but who knew that in her heart at that time...

Shaking her head, Angela sighed in her heart, driving these out of her mind.Then he greeted Mei Weisi and the bodyguards, got in the car and left the station and drove up the mountain. If he didn't think about it, he should devote himself to more work.

Although the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" has basically arrived in Courtley Town, there are still a few days before the filming will officially start, and Angela will use these days to wander around the mountains.In addition to taking this opportunity to relax in nature, she also sketched out the shots of the whole movie in her mind and thought about how to show these beautiful scenery and the relationship with the characters, etc., but the most important thing is to want to Know what you can learn from it.

Yes, learned something from it.Although she has been learning the skills and techniques of directing since she picked up the guide tube, and has accumulated a lot of experience so far, her learning has become more targeted since she decided to put "The Pianist" on the screen .For example, the way of interpreting that war learned from "The Pianist", and the key points of adapting the biography learned from "A Beautiful Mind", or the method of learning multi-line narration that should have been launched this year, etc., no She likes trouble but she only has one chance, so she can only succeed and not fail!

So, what can we learn from Brokeback Mountain?Angela didn't know, after all, the movie was put on the agenda mainly to cover up her trip to San Francisco with Jessica.

"What are we doing here?" Mavis asked after getting out of the car and following Angela to the lake.

"Look at the filming location. This is the place I picked for Jack Twist and Ennis Delmar to date once a year." Angela, who brushed her hair around her ears in the breeze, looked at the scenery in front of her and said softly. Said.

There is a calm lake in front of you, the lake surface is calm, the green mountains, blue sky and white clouds are reflected in it, and the giant rock protruding into the lake hundreds of feet away looks majestic and straight.It's like an oil painting, the full colors are messy and unified; it's also like a postcard, clean, bright, delicate and beautiful, with a breathtaking beauty.

"It's so beautiful. It must be very comfortable to come here for vacation in summer." After standing by the lake and taking a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery, Mei Weiss couldn't help but sighed.

"Yeah, it's very beautiful. This is the charm of nature." Angela looked at this beautiful place in a daze. Just like this, people couldn't help but want to jump down and swim for a good time.

"Although I haven't read "Brokeback Mountain" and don't know how to make a movie, I think it will be very attractive if these pictures can be shot like postcards." Meivis folded her arms and continued to sigh.

"Indeed, such a beautiful picture..." Angela was suddenly stunned as she said that.

Comments such as "every picture is so clean that it can be used as a postcard", "smooth lens, miscellaneous but not chaotic colors", "use of proper long lens" and other comments suddenly popped up in my mind.

Yes, yes, these are things I can learn.Angela stared into the distance in a daze.Although she has always been most proud of her handling of color and smooth shots, and believes that she is not too far behind those famous directors in this regard, but it is not bad to have a lot of references to make what she is already good at even better. OK.

The technique of making each picture as clean as a postcard is also reversed to make the picture obviously messy and dirty; more importantly, although I have known about the use of various long shots before, I am not familiar with it. If...

Think about it, think about it... Angela raised her head and closed her eyes.

The sky that occupies two-thirds of the lens is gloomy, while the city of Nanjing below is continuously emitting fire and thick smoke. With the sound of buzzing, the planes of the Japanese army once again swoop down from the sky viciously.As they fly by, the camera pans to follow the Japanese army planes as they move towards the city of Nanking, moving rapidly.When the plane dropped the bomb, it moved with the bomb and finally fell into the running crowd... No, no, no, this is Nanjing, not Pearl Harbor. Let’s start again, maybe it can be like this...

"Angie? Angie!" Mavis' voice rang in Angela's ear.

Angela opened her eyes suddenly, recovered from her imagination, and looked at Mei Weisi beside her in a daze: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's going to rain, I think it's better for us to go down the mountain first." The female detective pointed to the cloudy sky, where it is usually said that it rains when it rains, and it also comes and goes quickly.

"It's indeed going to rain, and it's a bit late, okay, let's go down the mountain." Angela nodded, then suddenly hugged Meivis, and at the same time tightly strangled her with her hands.

Mei Weisi couldn't help being a little inexplicable, and patted Angela with a broken smile: "Why all of a sudden..."

"Thank you, Mess!" Angela smiled brightly, "Thank you for reminding me, I know what to do."

Faced with the incoherent words, Mei Weiss couldn't help but become more and more puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, nothing, I just came up with a good idea, it came from your phrase 'postcard', long shot! It's great! Thank you!" Angela said excitedly, walking towards the car While waving to the bodyguards to prepare to drive: "I have to go back and think about it, how to shoot!"

Although she understood something and Angela came up with a good idea because of her own words, Meivis still felt a little dizzy.However, she waved her hand and threw them out and walked to the car. A genius, there must be something different from ordinary people, and... this is the happiest time Angela has smiled in half a month.
