Hollywood Secret Garden

"Bunali, I need a darker light later, which should be similar to the color of the house, but must be different from it, making it look dark and heavy, understand?" David Finch patted the lighting engineer on the shoulder, repeatedly exhortation.

"Okay, David, don't be nervous, this is your first time directing a movie, don't mess it up." As his good friend, Bunari has also worked with him many times, how could he not know what he was thinking .

"Hey, why am I nervous?" David leaned forward and spread his hands, seemingly displeased.

"Well, you're not nervous, it's just that I'm supercilious." Bunari hurriedly raised his hands. David's height of nearly 6 feet is very oppressive, so every time he looks like this, he is only 5 feet tall. The 5-inch bunari can only surrender.

Fortunately, the reporter came over at this time: "Mr. Director, Mr. Al Pacino is here."

"Okay, I'll come right now." David nodded, told Buneri again, and walked outside the house.

In the open space in front of the house, Al Pacino has just taken off his sunglasses and is talking to his assistant. His contour cut by a knife makes him look masculine, but he also has a gentle smile, which is extremely charming As usual, several town residents who passed by came up to sign after they found out who it was.

"Hi, Al, how are you?" David stepped forward and shook hands with Al.

"As usual, it's you who can finally officially pick up the camera to shoot movies. I remember that you were still filming MTV for Madonna half a year ago." Al laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"You also said that it's my first time, so..." David shrugged, and stared at him with eyes that you can figure out what to do.

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, I will do what you say, and I will fully support you." Al laughed again, and then said: "So, do you want me to put on makeup and test shoot now?"

"We'll have to wait a few more minutes. The staff are still adjusting the equipment. Besides, your screenwriter daughter hasn't come yet. She called 20 minutes ago to say that the car broke down." David shrugged again.

"Screenwriter... daughter?" Al was a little puzzled.

"It's Ms. Angela Mason who plays Emily. She is also the screenwriter." David looked at him strangely. "If Warner didn't make it clear to you, at least it should be written in the screenwriter column, right?"

"You mean that the screenwriter Angela Mason and the Angela Mason who played Emily are the same person?" Al touched his nose: "That is to say, the genius girl rumored a while ago is indeed true?"

"you do not believe?"

"An 11 or 12 year old girl? Hard to believe!"

"In fact, I didn't believe it at first, although I have heard director James Cameron say this on different occasions: this girl wrote and acted in "A Couple Born", and also performed "Terminator 2" at the reception. It gave a fair and wonderful review, and within a few minutes we had a solid story, but I always thought it was a little exaggerated, until I got the original script of "Hide and Seek," David paused, recalling Then he said: "I was very surprised. The writing is smooth and the shots are well divided. Not only is it creative, but in many places there are even opinions on the script from the director's point of view. These opinions are very appetizing to me! This world There are geniuses out there, aren't there?"

"Hey, I said David..."

"No, no, Al, don't question my level. Although I have only filmed MTV, I still have this vision."

"Don't get me wrong, David, what I want to say is, why do I feel like you were fascinated by her, um?"

"What?" David looked at Al with his mouth open. Al's expression was very serious, as if something really happened, but when David saw the smile in his eyes, he knew he was being teased, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, David, you'd better pray that this lady genius's acting skills are as high as her screenwriting skills." Al smiled and spread his hands, and then a crisp voice came from beside him: "If even father doesn't If you trust your own daughter, this world will be terrible."

The two men looked at each other in surprise. A little girl was already standing there. Her emerald green eyes blinked from time to time, as if she could speak, and she had a mischievous smile on her face. She looked very cute. Her blond hair was tied into a ponytail. It gave people a very lively feeling. Seeing the two people looking at her, the girl extended her hand to David Finch generously: "Hi, Mr. Finch, I am Angela Mason, I am sorry for being late Minutes later, the car broke down on the road, and we called a taxi to come here."

"Hello, Miss Mason, I'm glad you're here. I think we can start filming soon." David shook hands with her, and was about to introduce Al when Angela said first, "I know, this is My father—as soon as you yell to begin."

As she spoke she turned to Al with a smile: "So, my dear father, won't you love me if I stop being with other people and doing right at home?"

Al looked at the little girl in surprise. This sentence is actually the reverse version of his classic line in "The Godfather". Has she seen "The Godfather"?Her father allowed her to watch?

Angela obviously saw what she was thinking, and raised her fingers with a smile: ""Wandering Strange Man", "Conflict", "Hot Afternoon", "Love in the Sunset", "Justice", "Happy Friends" , "Scarface", "Revolution", "Little Nightmare", "Sex, Love, Hamburgers" and "The Godfather" trilogy, except "Poison" is too old to find a video Other than that, basically I’ve seen it all.”

"It's amazing, Al, it seems that Miss Mason is still your fanatic fan." David exclaimed.

"Of course, so..." Angela took out the notebook and pen from her backpack and handed them to Al Pacino.

"Well, I admit that you surprised me, or surprised." Al touched his nose again inexplicably, took the book, and signed his name, "To be honest, I have never ...You are such a small movie fan."

"I don't have it now." Angela took the notebook back with a smile.

"So, when you watch these movies, are you accompanied by your parents?" Al looked at the little girl and asked seriously.

Angela knew what he meant. Al's movies basically didn't have a G rating, a few were PG-13, and more were R. That is, audiences under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult. See, he's asking this out of concern, no one wants a child to turn bad and degenerate by watching these violent movies in private.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, curled her lips and said, "Basically...no, but don't worry, I have complete self-awareness and worldview to distinguish what is good from what is bad, and I know what I am doing."

"I have to admit, you surprised me again, Miss Mason." Al sighed.

"If you can, please call me Angela." At this moment, the little girl glanced at Sparrow who had dismissed the taxi driver, and said in a low voice, "Please don't tell me what happened today, okay?"

"Okay, Angela, are children as precocious as you these days?" Al said with a smile.

"I don't think I'm an outlier, but..." Angela shrugged helplessly, and Al couldn't help touching her head with that aggrieved look.

At this time, David, who had just been called away by the staff, came over again: "Okay, both of you, please put on makeup first, and then we will try to shoot scene 15 of scene 5."

"Okay, I got it," Al said, looking at Angela, "Dear girl, we have to put on makeup, are you ready?"

"I really want to know if I will meet a father like a gangster godfather." Angela said with her tongue out.

Having said that, when Al appeared in front of Angela after putting on makeup and changing clothes, the little girl was still taken aback. The original Al Pacino was as normal as most middle-aged men, but when he changed After doing my hair, putting on glasses and changing into casual clothes, I became a completely different person, gentle and polite, with a good-natured appearance, but with a faint sense of anxiety, which completely fits the character in the play The role of the father.

The makeup artist may have contributed to this, and more importantly, Al's own temperament has completely changed. Although he and De Niro had known that he and De Niro were representatives of method performances, when Al really showed his talent in front of him, Angie La was still taken aback. She remembered that when someone commented on Al and De Niro in her previous life, she once said that these two people will try their best to experience the life of this character at all costs in order to play their roles well, just like De Niro once really practiced boxing for the image of a certain boxer, and even went to fight regular matches. The image in "Stealing Fire" is very different.

As for Al, it can be seen from his changed temperament that he is no worse than De Niro. It is no wonder that when people mention him, they will mention De Niro, and when they mention De Niro, they will also mention him. The two of them are really born twin stars, but although Angela also likes De Niro, Al Pacino, who is more in line with the aesthetics of the oriental people, obviously has more weight in her heart, otherwise she would not propose that Al Pacino take over In the role of father, she takes over the requirements of the role of daughter.

However, now looking at Al who has already walked into the shooting location, Angela began to wonder, can she really play against him without losing the wind?
