Hollywood Secret Garden

The father brought the prepared spaghetti and meatballs to the table and was about to ask his daughter to eat when he walked into the living room and saw her standing at the corner of the stairs.

"Emily, come down for dinner." Father said with a gentle smile.

The daughter nodded slightly as an answer, her face was blank, without any expression, as if she didn't care about anything, and there was a gloomy look between her brows.

The father and daughter sat down at the table and didn't speak any more. The atmosphere seemed very dull. The father saw that his daughter scratched the meatballs on the plate from time to time, and seemed to have no appetite, so he asked, "I remember that the spaghetti and the meatballs are all from you. Favorite food, aren't you hungry now?"

The daughter didn't answer. The father thought for a while, tensed his face, and made a funny look, trying to make his daughter happy, but the daughter just gave him a faint look, and stood up: "I want to go to bed."

"Cut!" David Finch, who had been watching from the camera, yelled, frowning and shaking his head, obviously not very satisfied.

"What's the matter, David, it's been 4 times, isn't it enough?" Paul asked.Tuckers leaned over and asked, he was sent by Warner to be the producer and also the studio manager.

"The general atmosphere is perfect, but," David looked at the camera and sighed, "Miss Mason's eyes are too wandering, and she seems a little absent-minded."

"To be honest, I don't see it. I think Miss Mason is doing a good job." Paul shrugged.

"Hey, Paul, we agreed that I will control everything on the set." David frowned and looked at Paul.

"Yes, I know, I just want to say, as a director, if you think there is a problem, then you should find a way to solve her." Paul said.

David thought for a while, touched his chin and said, "The two or three shots in the morning were good, but they were all shot separately, I think... Miss Mason may be a little nervous because she is going to play against Mr. Pacino. "

"So I think it's best to let everyone rest for a few minutes." Al came over at this time and spread his hands to the two. "Let me talk to the little guy."

David looked at Angela who was sitting at the table holding his face in a daze at the table, and nodded: "Okay, that's it."

Angela, who didn't respond to the director's call of "take a break for 10 minutes now", is depressed. In fact, she thinks that she has figured out the role of Emily very well. Anyway, she wrote the script word by word. Yes, besides, she still remembers the most pertinent comments and character analysis in her previous life, and she also tried her best to formulate some small movements and expressions for herself in advance, so that she would not imitate Dakota as much as possible, but why did she have a confrontation with Al? When playing, there is always a feeling of being evasive and unable to let go?

"What are you thinking? Angela? Spaghetti and meatballs are not to your liking?" Al sat down in front of her, knocked on the table and asked with a smile.

"You know what I'm thinking, Dad, the director also knows, basically everyone knows." Angela pressed her face and pouted.

"I don't know, Angela, I'm not a wizard, and I don't know how to read minds, so if you can, how about telling me? I promise I won't tell." Al raised a hand and said seriously.

"Really?" The little girl put her head on her arm, blinked her eyes at the other party, and said after a while, "Well, I think I can't let go when I play with you."

"Can't let go, why? I always think I'm sitting in front of the mafia godfather?" Al spread his hands jokingly.

"How do you think your appearance as a schizophrenic psychiatrist has anything to do with your godfather? Dad?" The little girl waved her fist in dissatisfaction, as if she was very angry. My IQ!"

"Oh, God, don't you need to look like this, it seems that I have committed a heinous crime?" Al hurriedly put on a sincere look, "God, I pray to you, I confess to you, I ruined my image, I ruined Please forgive me for losing the self-confidence of a talented girl."

Angela couldn't help but giggle with his serious look, and she was much more depressed before.

"Do you know, Mr. Al... Oh, let's call you Dad," Angela said with a smile, "In fact, during the scene, I always thought, if Mr. De Niro was playing this role, would he What kind of performance will it be?"

"Robert?" Al was a little unbelievable, and then laughed, "Well, I admit that in Hollywood, the two of us are always mentioned together, but I have never met, well, someone will think that the role I played will be replaced by What he will be, that's... interesting."

Wouldn't it be more interesting if you knew the character was originally his?Angela grimaced in her heart, and unconsciously she was completely relieved. Previously, all she knew about Al Pacino came from movies and related reviews, but now Al is the real Al, humorous, Funny, approachable, and not a character from the movie.

"Well, Dad, let me tell the truth, as long as I see you in the scene, I will feel that my homework is not enough, I don't know enough about this role, and I may not be able to play her well. "Angela sighed and said, "Maybe I should learn how to send acting, to really understand the feelings of those girls who have been hurt."

"Angela, I'm glad you're saying this to me, but what I'm trying to say is—take it easy, boy, method isn't for everyone, and like you, to play the role of Emily well, you have to go to Find a perverted family to live in and experience? Or visit children who have had similar experiences? Even if you want to, your family will not allow it, and the law will not agree. Children, everyone has their own way of acting, method is not The best is not the only one, the key is whether you put your heart into it when you perform! So, don’t worry, kids, don’t force yourself, relax now, just treat me as an ordinary person, an ordinary actor—I didn’t take Pass the Oscar, get rid of distracting thoughts in your head, devote yourself to completing this scene seriously, and when you finish, you will no longer have these troubles!" Al said very seriously, like an elder teaching a younger generation That, but in the end, he changed the topic: "Of course, if you need it, I don't mind if you play me as Robert."

Angela couldn't help laughing again, sticking out her tongue: "Don't worry, Dad, although I also like Mr. De Niro very much, but I love you more because you are my dad, well, after Mr. David started calling .”

"Great, I'm proud of having a daughter like you, well, also after David shouted." Al clapped his hands pretendingly, he could see that the little girl had indeed let go of the burden in his heart, he was very happy I like this girl, and when I look at her, I think of my daughter Julie, who is about to be 3 years old, but I hope Julie will not be too precocious like her.

After Angela solved her psychological burden, the next few days of filming were impressive. Because of Emily's mental state of wrapping herself in a shell and refusing to communicate with everyone after losing her mother, she was perfectly captured. It showed that kind of neurotic gloom on her face, which made people think that she was Emily, which surprised David, Al and other staff.

However, the seasoned Al soon noticed that Angela seemed to be getting into the scene a little bit. After several times of filming, the little guy sat quietly in the corner without saying a word, quietly lost in thought, as if he was still shrunk into a shell Refusing to come out, I could recover within a few minutes at most in the beginning, but it took longer as I went on, and once I even shot two consecutive scenes in one state.

Al talked to Angela several times about this, and also talked to her agent Sparrow, nanny Grace, and temporary teacher Ms. Brown, but the little girl always said that she was fine and would be fine after the filming, and She didn't do anything out of the ordinary except for sitting on the side for a while after the filming, so Al finally thought about it and didn't say anything more. He just told Sparrow and the three of them to pay attention, and he looked at her at the same time.

Angela is very grateful to Al for his concern. In fact, she also knows that she is a little too involved in the drama, but she doesn't want to think so much. After Al untied her psychological burden that night, she vowed to study her own acting skills. , even if it’s fun to make a movie by yourself, it can’t be a vase, right? Acting skills, and it complements Ma Long.

The more she delved into it, the more fascinated she became, and the more fascinated she was, the more she didn't want to give up. Anyway, there were not many people around to talk to. Although Mr. Sparrow was a good man, it was obvious that he would report his every move to his father, the new nanny Ge Liz had just arrived and wasn't nearly as close as she and Jennifer were, and Ms. Brown...God knows why the parents asked her to come again, now without Jessica around to cover for her.

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that she needs something to occupy her head instead of thinking about certain things. You must know that the shooting location of "Hide and Seek" is still in Woodland Town, not far from New York. , and it only takes a few hours to get to New York on weekends off.

Angela didn't want to go to New York, even if her grandfather was there, because Mr. Sparrow had brought the news early that "Killer Leon" had already started filming there!
