Chapter 597 The actor's epiphany (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Wu Jianye opened the door of the apartment, and unexpectedly found that the light was a little dim, while Li Xiuming was lying on the sofa alone with her knees in her arms. When she got closer, she found that her expression was also a little complicated.

"What happened?" Wu Jianye squatted in front of Li Xiuming with concern, and asked gently.

Li Xiuming looked up at Wu Jianye, and said with a complicated expression: "I'm pregnant!"

Wu Jianye was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression: "When did it happen?"

Li Xiuming said: "It was when you came here last time."

"Haha, good news, why this expression?" Wu Jianye first laughed out loud, and then asked.

Li Xiuming: "It's just that I don't know what's wrong with me. I originally thought that I would never have children from now on, but now the child suddenly came."

Looking at Li Xiuming's expression, Wu Jianye knew it. She still had some worries in her heart. After all, Li Xiuming was already 35 years old at this time, and she could be considered an advanced maternal age. In addition, there was no formal relationship with Wu Jianye. relationship, I was naturally a little worried!

Wu Jianye comforted: "Don't think too much, you can take a good rest from today onwards, and let go of other things first." After speaking, Wu Jianye stood up, rubbing his hands excitedly, and then suddenly said: "New York You can't stay any longer. Although I'm also filming in New York now, I don't have much time to come back. I don't feel relieved that you live in an apartment by yourself. How about it? I'll arrange for someone to take you to Los Angeles tomorrow. I bought a villa by the side, and I have special servants, so I can rest assured that you will be there when the time comes."

"The shooting time in New York will not be too long, and the shooting here can be completed in about 14 weeks, and the crew will move to Los Angeles by then!"

Seeing Wu Jianye's arrangement of everything, Li Xiuming finally showed a happy smile on his face. After all, she still didn't have much confidence in herself.

She was able to get together with Wu Jianye because her reputation was unfair. In addition, Wu Jianye's career is getting bigger and bigger now. She is worried that Wu Jianye will not let her have this child. Now she sees Wu Jianye So happy, the big stone in my heart finally fell.

"Are you not angry?" Li Xiuming took Wu Jianye's hand and let him sit beside her.

Wu Jianye laughed, and said: "It's too late to be happy, how could you be angry? This matter is settled. When you arrive in Los Angeles, I will arrange two nannies to take care of your daily life 24 hours a day. By the way, and"

Seeing where Wu Jianye was arranging everything, Li Xiuming finally showed a happy and sweet smile on his face.

The two of them naturally didn't know how to do anything tonight, but Li Xiuming, who had already let go of the big stone in his heart, still hugged Wu Jianye and told him what was in his heart and his vision for the future.

For example, the name of the child, whether the future education will be in the United States or China, the arrival of the child almost disrupted all the previous arrangements of Li Xiuming.

Originally, I thought that I would finish my study this year and return to China at the end of the year or early next year, but now that I am pregnant with a child, Li Xiuming dared not make any fuss, and wanted to make arrangements for the future after the child was born in the United States.

Li Xiuming wanted to talk about this topic, and Wu Jianye naturally chatted with her, but Wu Jianye also had his own request, that is, if Li Xiuming wants this child to receive education in North America, then he must return to China during the winter and summer vacations in the future domestic education.

Wu Jianye doesn't want his future child to be a person who can speak English and can't even speak Mandarin.

Li Xiuming was in a very good mood at this time, but considering that she was only a month pregnant, which was the most dangerous time, Wu Jianye naturally didn't chat with her all night, and let her go to bed early.

On the second day, Wu Jianye came to the crew. Zhao Fei, who was familiar with Wu Jianye, saw the smile on his face and asked curiously: "What happened, so happy!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I won't tell you!"

Zhao Fei gave Wu Jianye a blank look, and didn't continue to ask. Following Wu Jianye's order, the film crew started today's filming.

Then Wu Jianye found out that Mel Gibson's performance was indeed better than the previous two days, but it's not good to say how good it is, it was a good performance after all.

However, Wu Jianye's mood today was obviously different from the previous two days, so even if some actors had problems with their performances, Wu Jianye did not reprimand them.

Two days was enough for the crew to understand what kind of director Wu Jianye is, but today's performance clearly made them feel a different Wu Jianye from before.

Although everyone was curious, they all knew that this was Wu Jianye's private matter, so no one would ask like Zhao Fei.

The atmosphere of the crew's shooting this morning was very good, and the shooting went very smoothly. During the lunch break, Wu Jianye returned to the apartment. Li Xiuming was about to fly to Los Angeles, so Wu Jianye would naturally send her to the airport in person.

Bodyguards helped Li Xiuming carry the luggage, and walked out of the apartment gate. After getting into the car, Wu Jianye asked the driver to drive straight to the airport.

After everyone arrived at the airport, Wu Jianye asked again: "Someone will pick you up when you get off the plane, and the housekeeper in Los Angeles has already found a few nannies who specialize in taking care of you. When the time comes, you can choose it yourself. What's the matter?" Just tell them to do it!"

Li Xiuming nodded, there was still a trace of worry on her face at this moment, she smiled and said: "I see, you are really long-winded!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Why don't I feel that way?"

The two chatted for a while at the airport, and the airport began to check in tickets. Li Xiuming was sent away, and Wu Jianye returned to the crew non-stop, and started filming this afternoon.

After Wu Jianye stopped the filming, he walked up to Tony Godwin and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you now?"

Tony Godwin was slightly taken aback, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The scene just now had been stopped four or five times, and he was the one who had a problem every time, which made Tony Godwin look a little panicked.

"Carl!"

Wu Jianye nodded, then called Isabel Adjani over, pointed at Isabel Adjani and continued to ask Tony Godwin, "Is she pretty?"

Regarding Wu Jianye's sudden question, everyone on the set seemed a little puzzled, but no one made a sound. Even Isabel Adjani just stood there with her arms folded.

Tony Godwin was a little worried and didn't know how to answer.

But Wu Jianye didn't let him go, and asked again and again: "Let me ask you, is she pretty?"

At this time Tony Godwin nodded cautiously and said, "Beautiful!"

Wu Jianye continued to ask: "Then do you like her?"

As Wu Jianye asked this question, Isabel Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg, who was watching by the side, showed a clear look at the same time, and then looked at Wu Jianye with admiring eyes.

But Tony Godwin was stunned at this time, and didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant. After all, the relationship between Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani was almost public. If he wanted to say that he liked her, wouldn't he be courting death?
"No dislike!" Tony Godwin said.

Isabel Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg showed a look of disappointment on their faces.

And Wu Jianye also showed an ugly expression at this time, and said, "No, you should like her!"

Tony Godwin looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, but still didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant.

"I'll ask you again, who are you now?" Wu Jianye's tone was a little impatient.

Tony Godwin preaches: "Carl!"

"What about her?" Wu Jianye pointed to Isabel Adjani and asked.

"Isabel. No." Tony Godwin suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time, and quickly said: "She is Molly, yes, I should like her, no, it's a secret love, and there should be a trace of this secret love." Possessive."

Seeing Tony Godwin's awakening, Wu Jianye showed a satisfied smile and said, "Okay, I'll give you 5 minutes, and continue shooting after 5 minutes!"

Tony Godwin nodded and said, "I know Director Wu!"

Although Carl and Sam are good friends in the movie, Carl is actually very envious of everything about Sam. At work, Sam is his boss. In life, Sam has a girlfriend that he admires. .

Before Wu Jianye asked him if he liked Isabel Adjani, he was actually asking him if Carl liked Molly. Carl liked Molly, but this kind of liking was not normal for men and women, but because Carl envied Sam. Everything, in this twisted envy, made him have a twisted liking and possessiveness towards Molly!
That's why, after Sam's death, Carl would think of something happening with Molly.

Although Tony Godwin performed well before, he couldn't perfectly reflect this kind of details. Wu Jianye didn't tell him the reason before, hoping that he could figure it out by himself, but now it seems that Tony Godwin is still far from the kind of actor with top acting talent.

Helpless, Wu Jianye had no choice but to personally point out Tony Godwin's problem, but this method of pointing out the problem is still hoping to let him understand part of it.

In fact, the profession of an actor also requires epiphany, just like writing handwritten web articles on the Internet. Sometimes an actor's acting skills suddenly show explosive growth, which is a sudden epiphany at a certain moment.

For example, Wu Bo, in fact, Wu Bo entered the entertainment circle very early. Interested audiences will find that his performance before he became famous was not very good, but because of an incident in the middle, let him His acting skills have exploded.

And this incident was actually when he and his nobleman Liu Bei were filming a hospital scene. At that time, Wu Bo was sitting beside the hospital bed and speaking lines to Liu Bei. At that time, Wu Bo's sincere thanks shocked everyone in front of and behind the scenes. At that time, Liu Bei's husband was also the director of that play, and he told Wu Bo directly after the filming that the performance should be like this.

It was only later that Wu Bo's performance really entered another realm. He also had a wonderful performance in "Before Dawn" after he had accumulated a lot of knowledge, and finally became the handsome uncle of the nation.

It's a pity that it was pitted by capital in the end.
Now in the process of directing, Wu Jianye also intentionally or unintentionally wants them to understand these things and achieve self-breakthrough regarding the actors' performance.

It's a pity that actors in this category belong to God's rewarding food, and those who can comprehend by themselves will naturally have a smooth career in the future of acting. If they can't comprehend by themselves and want to hang out in this circle, then Have to find another way.

Whoopi Goldberg sat on one side with an exaggerated black pigtail on his head, looked at Tony Godwin who was sitting on the side who was enlightening on his own, and then turned his head to look at Wu Jianye who was looking at the storyboard, his face With a satisfied expression on his face.

Whoopi Goldberg naturally wanted to make some breakthroughs in literature and art when she took on this film before. After all, after "The Color Purple" was nominated for an Oscar, she has never had a good work. I chose this movie between "Partner" and "The Love of Ghosts", and I also took a fancy to Wu Jianye's accomplishments in literary films.

Although everyone said that Wu Jianye couldn't make a romance film that meets the mainstream appreciation of American audiences, Wu Jianye's performance at the three major European film festivals is enough to make those who want to win awards in movies respect him. Full of confidence.

To put it bluntly, Whoopi Goldberg and Mel Gibson chose this movie with similar ideas.

Mel Gibson wants to use the influence of Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani in Europe to expand his box office appeal in Europe.

Whoopi Goldberg, on the other hand, valued Wu Jianye's ability in European film festivals. Due to image problems, it is impossible for Whoopi Goldberg to become a first-line actress in Hollywood. With a certain appeal, her salary can also be increased by a part.

At this time, when the film was officially filmed, Wu Jianye's ability to control the actors' acting skills and the control of the scene showed today, so Whoopi Goldberg really felt Wu Jianye's director ability.

That means Whoopi Goldberg has a clear understanding of her appearance, otherwise she would have gone to Wu Jianye to discuss the script at night
Five minutes passed quickly, and Tony Godwin's performance stepped up to a new level again, his eyes slightly aimed at Isabel Adjani, his eyes concealed love and greedy possessiveness.

But even so, it was still stopped by Wu Jianye.

"It's already very good, but it still lacks some subtle movements to bring out Carl's inner inferiority complex!" Wu Jianye continued.

At this time Sam was still alive, and Karl seemed to be living in Sam's shadow, so even though he had thousands of thoughts in his heart, he still felt inferior!
This time Tony Godwin immediately understood!
