Chapter 226 The temperament of the upstart

Standing in the middle of the prison railings, Duke looked at Charlize Theron opposite. The temperament of the actress has changed significantly compared to the beginning. Although she can only act as a vase in some videos in recent years, the system training of ICM has shown results.

Her role in "Chicago" is also a vase.

"You are a rich girl, and you are still arrogant after being arrested." Duke simply said the character's requirements, "especially your expression and walking posture, the character's pride and superiority. Sally, your appearance is not a problem. I want a powerful aura that can naturally attract everyone's attention."

"You can also understand it as a kind of arrogant temperament of a nouveau riche," he said again.

The rich girl Miss Buster, played by Charlize Theron, looks gorgeous and luxurious, just like Lockhee, who keeps kicking and twisting his hips and posing, looks gorgeous and luxurious, but she can't get rid of the strong upstart flavor of American society in the 1920s and 1930s.

They can be said to be a microcosm of the entire United States after World War I and before the economic crisis.

"Don't worry, Duke." Charlize Theron said confidently, "I won't let you down."

She has made careful preparations for this role. According to the scenes in the script, it is estimated that Miss Buster will not be cut for more than five minutes in the end, but it is very eye-catching - stealing the limelight of the heroine!

This character needs to completely suppress the heroine who is also blonde and blue-eyed in a short while, so that the plot is convincing. After all, she wants to attract everyone's attention, thus causing Lockhee to be coldly treated and triggering the subsequent plot of fake pregnancy.

Deep down, Charlize wanted to get Lockhee even more, but she understood that her acting skills and qualifications were not enough. Especially her tall and broad figure was completely inconsistent with Lockhee's petiteness in "Chicago", and singing and singing were also problems. However, Duke was willing to give her Miss Buster, Charlize also understood that this was also an opportunity. This was an extremely easy-to-excitize role, and the difficulty was not high. She just needed to show the side of the vase to the extreme.

All preparations were ready, Duke only took a test shot and started the official shooting. Although Charlize Theron's acting skills are average, he showed his unique advantages in controlling such a vulgar role.

In the camera, Charlize Theron walked into the prison surrounded by reporters and police. She was arrogant, sexy, crazy, and even a little desperate. With her excellent appearance, she had a wild but particularly eye-catching temperament like a doomsday flower. In a short period of time, even Tom Cruise was suppressed by her and became part of many background colors.

After the shooting, Naomi Watts, who acted as the background painting on the other side, looked very good. Duke was too lazy to pay attention to the mess between these actresses, as long as they did not delay their work, they could fight each other.

The actresses who have direct competition scenes are still happy to get along with each other, and only exist in imagination. Duke has been in Hollywood for so long, so how can he not see it? In this regard, whether it is a super actress or a first-line actress, or the actresses who are climbing up, they are all a group of birds.

Of course, these actresses also know where Duke's bottom line is, and there are also the lessons of Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones, even if there is a fight, it will be controlled within a very small range.

The continuous dance of the two female leads not only consumed a lot of physical strength, but anyone could imagine it. He wore high heels nearly five inches high, had to grind blood bubbles on his feet, and he also pretended that there was no problem, and kept following Duke's strict requirements and devoted himself to the feeling of dancing.

This is not only a disguised punishment for Duke's attempt to achieve the shooting effect, but also a disguised punishment. With his current status, let alone Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones, even Nancy Josephson can't say anything.

The camera was over. Charlize Theron did not take off his makeup. Instead, he wanted to come to find Duke, but was stopped by Tina Fei. Charlize, who was only in his early twenties, was obviously not as smooth as Catherine Zeta Jones, and looked at Tina Fei coldly, as if he would slap her at any time.

"Is there something wrong?" Duke certainly noticed all this.

"No." Charlize Theron's cold face immediately changed into a bright smile, "I just want to come over and talk to you."

Duke looked at her, Charlize Theron was not stupid, and immediately turned to Tina Fee and said, "Sorry, Tina, we have time to have coffee together."

“You have made great progress.”

It's working time now, and Duke doesn't have the energy to say to Charlize, "There is still room for further growth. I will keep your footage as appropriate in post-production."

"Tina." Duke waved his head to the female assistant, and Tina Fei immediately made a gesture to Charlize.

Charlize Theron waved to this side and walked towards the dressing room.

In general, Duke is very satisfied with the shot of Charlize Theron. She has shown a bit of a strong aura in the future, but it looks a little artificial, but her gorgeous appearance is in line with the temperament of the American nouveau riche back then.

In fact, since writing the script, the first actor Duke thought of was Charlize Theron. Although Lucy Liu was more suitable for the descendants of Hawaiian nouveau riche, she completely suppressed Lockhee, which was a little less persuasive.

When the audience sees her, they will inevitably think that she is not noble and beautiful than Lockhee. Why should everyone chase her? Then they will remember that this is the movie setting, and then convince themselves, and at the same time they will be out of the show.

Even Duke once maliciously thought that Renee Zellweger, who was already a top-tier brand at the time, was the new director Robert Marshall who bullied the film industry on the crew and finally chose such a weird role to play this role.

Of course, this was just a random thought. With Robert Marshall's status as a junior brother at that time, such a character would not have much say. Moreover, Lucy Liu's small eyes, a flat nose and a freckled face were exactly in line with the usual standards of the so-called Asian beauties in the West.

"Transfer!" Duke asked Tina Fei to inform.

The crew moved from the prison area of ​​the studio to the theater area. The stage here has made many corresponding adjustments, and the background and curtain have been replaced. Next, a group dance is filmed, and the group dance is the protagonist of the film - Tom Cruise.

Cruise, who had just played soy sauce at Charlize Theron, has changed into costumes and put on makeup again.

Although he has watched countless movies from the other party and heard his loud names too much, Duke can be regarded as the first time he has officially seen Tom Cruise's live performance.

If no one mentioned it, what was the deepest impression on him by Tom Cruise? Pride, arrogant, arrogant, and sometimes confused.

If any actor becomes famous too early and his journey to a superstar is so smooth, I am afraid that something like Cruise will happen. People are not machines and will always be affected by the environment. How many people can avoid being overwhelmed by fame and fortune?

But even Tom Cruise knows the importance of hard work. In the past six months, he has spent three hours every day to take dance classes and vocal classes. Although he sometimes makes some unscrupulous requests, he also does his job to do his best. No matter how confused people are, they know the intensity of competition in this circle. If they don’t work hard, they will be eliminated.

Just to say that the scene to be filmed is not counted as the initial practice time. A week before the filming started, Tom Cruise and the accompanying dance rehearsed at least 7 times, basically maintaining the state of practicing once a day.

"Tom, I've said everything I should say at the preparation meeting."

Too much to say an actor like Tom Cruise will only have the opposite effect. Duke just reminded him, "We will try once."

"Look at me, Duke."

The full preparations gave Tom Cruise sufficient confidence.

The gorgeous stage, the bright lights, the gorgeous dancer, and the handsome and handsome Tom Cruise, which is more like a playboy, constitutes a luxurious scene with great visual impact.

Although Tom Cruise still has an expression that remains unchanged for thousands of years, he is indeed very hardworking. From the slightly exaggerated and extremely rich body movements, it can be seen that he has made a lot of preparations for this role. Even if the singing cannot be compared with professional singers or opera actors, the singing voice is much stronger than Richard Keel's duck voice.

In Duke's opinion, the one who performed the best in the film was Katherine Zeta Jones. Even with the camera angle, she seemed to be more powerful than any movie; followed by Renee Zellweger, and Billy, the lawyer played by Richard Keel, was simply too bad, especially singing and dancing. If Cruise was amateur, he could only be considered amateur child.

The film has a six-year singing and dancing preparation period, and the effect is fully revealed at this time. Tom Cruise has easily completed Billy's appearance and singing and dancing, and Duke also shouted directly.

The most difficult part of shooting is the song and dance part. The film is hidden behind it with a strong mockery and there is no too profound theme. If we talk about the connotation alone, this movie is not even as good as "Save Private Ryan". In addition to singing and dancing, Duke can basically control the literary dramas with ease. The shooting plan has been delayed, which is also due to the song and dance dramas.

"Well done, Tom!"

Now is a time for cooperation and not a conflict. Both Duke and Cruise temporarily suppressed the differences, especially Patrol Kingsley, who played an excellent lubricant between the two.

"I heard you are going to attend a weekend yacht?" Cruise asked about other things.

"Well, I have a small dock at home." Duke temporarily put down his work, "I'm going to buy a suitable offshore yacht and plan to go and have a look with Kate."

"You and Kate..."

When Duke heard Tom Cruise's slightly curious question, he shrugged and did not answer. This was one of the public activities planned by Pany Kellis for the two after asking for his opinion. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
