atypical hollywood life

In this regard, Alan Cameron explained, "My dear, you must first understand one thing, in the 60s, more than 20 years ago, the eyebrow makeup of European women and North American women was very different. Full of an exaggerated drama, most women will shave their eyebrows completely, and then use a brush to outline a very thin shape. Even Hollywood female stars are not exempt, of course you can also say that this trend is what they bring Wake up. Our hero has a fellow countryman who is representative of this, Greta Garbo. I think you've heard her name."

Margaret opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Well, she admitted that this was indeed very in line with the trend of the times at that time. Anyway, it is not for her to have laser hair removal, just shave it.As for Greta Garbo, she knew the name so well that it was included in her own middle name, which was derived from her great-grandmother.It's just that most people don't know it.

In the end, Margaret's two beautiful eyebrows left their masters under the makeup artist's blade.Lucy carefully drew her two curved but not sharp eyebrows along the shape of her brow bone, and the lip makeup was Margaret's own colorless lip gloss. No need to touch up with red lipstick anymore.

After she put on her makeup and tied her hair, and then changed into the costume of shirt and umbrella skirt, Alan Cameron and Lucy were both stunned.

Margaret, who didn't know what shock she had brought to the two of them, didn't even look at herself in the mirror. She felt that she needed time to calm down her mood.So when she faced Alexander Skarsgard who was also staring blankly at her face, she suddenly had an urge to look in the mirror.

"Meg, this scene..." Director Stephen Sommers, who came over to explain the precautions, was also stunned when he saw her face.

The fuck is this time travel to 60 years ago?Stephen himself didn't know whether the swearing was because he was too excited or too excited. Although he always knew that Margaret was a great beauty, otherwise "Romeo and Juliet" would not have set off such a big frenzy, but he still Underestimated the benefits of golden age makeup to beauty.Margaret just stood there indifferently with no expression on her face.Her fluffy hair was pulled back into a bun, under the curved eyebrows were sun-drenched eyelids, the thick and slender eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyes, coupled with the straight bridge of the nose and almost The lips formed a straight line, just like Jiabao reincarnated, the whole person is unbelievably beautiful.

Yes, yes, Stephen knew that this girl didn't really look like Garbo, but that kind of temperament, that kind of feeling of indifference and contempt, was exactly the trait of Iceberg Queen Garbo .At this moment, he finally knew what the familiar feeling Margaret had always given him was the divinity of Garbo!He has always been fascinated by the sweetness of Margaret in "Romeo and Juliet". Marilyn brought too much impact, and she either cried or laughed most of the time in that film, rarely This expressionless and quiet moment made him completely ignore the aloofness of Margaret's European face!

But it's not too late now. The most amazing thing about this girl is her smile. There are completely two styles of painting with teeth showing and not showing teeth. Smiling and laughing are completely different.Think about it, what was the advertising slogan of the production company back then?Garbo laughed!Margaret has this potential, as long as she controls the arc of her smile...

Stephen decided to go and tell her now not to show her teeth when laughing in the movie, it's too American, be more reserved, European, and Garbo.

"You want me not to show my teeth when I smile?" Margaret was a little puzzled by Stephen's request.

"No, no, it's not that serious, it's just a matter of controlling the extent, don't laugh too much, too happy." Stephen hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth to Margaret. It's best to communicate with me about this kind of thing, Otherwise, once some of the remarks he expects come out, it will easily cause the other party's displeasure, and the loss outweighs the gain.

"Meg, I think you should know that you don't look so American, your appearance is more European." To be exact, it has a strong Nordic color, small face, long legs and fair skin. It is a typical Nordic appearance, and Stephen doubts that she actually has Swedish ancestry, because she has too many common features with Alexander Skarsgard in the same crew.

"So?" Margaret asked.Does not looking American have anything to do with the way she smiles?

"So you should also know that when you don't smile, you look extremely cold and look down on all sentient beings?" In fact, what Stephen wanted to say was that when Margaret didn't smile and had a serious face, she looked completely stern and arrogant. The inaccessible look, especially those blue eyes, sometimes it is really cold, and looking at everything is like looking at a dead thing.But considering that the Lord was sitting in front of him, he still swallowed this adjective.

Although the face and temperament cannot determine a person's personality, it is the first time I have met Stephen with such a big difference in personality, face and temperament. After more than half a month, I have become familiar with Margaret. Stephen was not when she just signed the contract. Thinking of this, she is actually a very lively and easy-going girl.She fully explained to Stephen what duplicity is.

"?" Margaret raised her eyebrows without even saying a word this time.so what?Speak straight up if you have something to say, don't dawdle.

"With the coming of the new century and the increasingly industrialized development of Hollywood, people miss the golden age more and more. They miss the golden age movies, golden age stories, golden age music, and even golden age legends." Stephen showed a helpless smile.

In fact, people have already beautified and even mythical the golden age. That era was much darker than the current Hollywood, and all kinds of struggles and rules are not comparable to the current Hollywood with a relatively complete system.The big studios at that time were actually star-making machines. They controlled everything about the stars, including life, romance, marriage, and even life and death. Stars, extract value from them.But in the same way, even though it was an extremely smoggy era, they still had many legendary stars who could no longer appear in contemporary times.Looking at Hollywood today, it's pure nonsense to say that there are fewer beautiful women and handsome men, but there is no top-notch beauty like the golden age.

There's not even one Tom Cruise like it in nearly 30 years.Leonardo DiCaprio is half, but it is undeniable that his charm is more from the addition of "Titanic".Of course it does not mean that without "Titanic", he is nothing. He will still be popular and famous, but his influence will definitely not be so big and deep. Sometimes a movie can bring far more than a salary to a star. .There is something deeper.

Directors are ambitious creatures. They either want to sell their ideas to the world, or they want to create their own miracles.The same goes for Stephen Sommers, who is desperate to revive his career after the failure of Deep Chill.He was lucky to meet a good script and good actors. If he can present a contemporary Garbo, the film will become even more popular.So he chose to speak directly to Margaret, hoping that the other party would cooperate.

"The audience wants to see the stars of the golden age again, Meg, you have a kind of maturity and wisdom that does not match your age, coupled with your taste and acting skills, this gives you a unique charm, we don't need Proclaim how similar you are to the stars of the golden age, and with your current fame, you don't need this kind of hype. All we have to do is guide the audience to let them find that you are different from the stars of this era..." Stephen said His words were automatically silenced in Margaret's strange eyes.

"I can only say that you really dare to think! Stephen, although I really want to say that I am willing to do this, but unfortunately, I don't want to be the second of any legendary superstar, and I don't want to play anyone. A fake is a fake after all, forever It's impossible to come true, and my character is not a spark under the iceberg. What's more, do you really think Garbo's temperament can match this movie?"

When Stephen Sommers said that her temperament was extremely cold and looked down on all sentient beings, she knew that the other party was implying that she was like Garbo.Buzz once said this question to her. The two people do have a great similarity in temperament, and they both have a kind of indescribable divinity.But the causes are different. Jiabao has experienced setbacks in life, and she has experienced the torment of illness in life.Moreover, the personalities of the two are very different, and they cannot be compared at all. Garbo is the real queen of the iceberg, while she just has a cold face.How did such diametrically opposed temperaments come together?

And just like she said, she doesn't want to be the second Garbo, she is herself, this is the bottom line, and she is not ready to give in.

Seeing Stephen Sommers' disappointed look, Margaret comforted him, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Even if you don't say it, I won't interpret Evelyn the way I interpret Juliet. She is A British lady in the 1920s was very different from a modern girl, and I would behave in ways that befit her."

Although she was comforting Stephen, Margaret was telling the truth. How could any lady in that era laugh as brazenly as the girl now?Every era has different requirements for women.So the other party is completely worrying in vain.However, this also made her somewhat wary, and the crew couldn't use her similarity to Garbo to hype her up.

"Well, well, I'm sorry, Meg. You may rest assured that it is only my opinion."

Stephen Sommers touched his nose. He knew that this request was too much, but he just couldn't help but want to give it a try.It is a thought to be rejected now.Thinking about what he said, I feel very sorry for Margaret. After all, no woman would like someone to call her the second, even if that so-and-so is Garbo, especially Margaret, who is so proud and has strong self-esteem. actress.There was something wrong with his actions.That sentence just now means that he will not disclose this original plan to others, and if someone in the crew really wants to use this hype, he will try his best to help suppress it.

Margaret smiled.In fact, she didn't pay much attention to Stephen's words. Since she entered this industry, she had to be mentally prepared. Hollywood has never been a charity organization. Every movie will be squeezed out to squeeze out the last bit of oil and water before it will be let go.Both the producer and the director are stakeholders, so it's no wonder they don't have ambitions.She doesn't sulk herself for this common phenomenon.

After the talk, she walked out of the room and looked at the vibrant sun in the sky. Margaret sighed that her first scene in "The Mummy" was enough to shoot a kiss scene under the sun.
