Chapter 254 Plastic Sisters

Catherine didn't get angry and get angry with a supporting character, it seemed like she was very graceless and fussy.

And if someone performs well, you can’t blame them!

Catherine believes that as a director, Gilbert Jr. will definitely know this and make corresponding changes.

After interrupting the filming of this scene, Gilbert Jr. discussed with director of photography John Schwartzman to change the camera position and angle to achieve the goal.

Performing again, Catherine found that Lilia's performance was better than before, and she was obviously in a better state.

She finally couldn't help it, and quietly approached little Gilbert to see what he had to say.

Verona looked at the performance after changing the camera position and gave little Gilbert a thumbs up: "Your directing skills have improved again, much better than when I first met you.

Through the change of camera positions, although the actors themselves still perform very well, they will not feel suppressed by the next starring role. "

Little Gilbert nodded, and did not forget to praise Lilia after she finished her performance: "Well done, Lilia."

Lilia looked overjoyed when she received the applause, and kept bowing to thank her, as if she had won an Oscar.

But whether all the exchanges are worth it depends on the film and her own performance.

Verona was very curious about one point: "You said this black actor doesn't know that Catherine is the protagonist? Why would she deliberately target Catherine?"

As he said this, he took the lead in applauding, leading the entire crew to applaud the black actor.

Little Gilbert said: "We won't give her a frontal shot because she can't steal the show. But her performance itself is still fine and deserves applause."

In this era of Hollywood, long hair is the life of an actress, but Catherine can ruthlessly cut her long hair short, and the price she pays is not heavy.

In the fiercely competitive Hollywood, similar things happen everywhere. Verona can be stabbed in the back by her good sisters and steal her heroine.

"That's good," little Gilbert nodded and said, "Go and rehearse first, and we'll start right away."

Verona is still complaining: "Since you have decided not to let the supporting role affect the protagonist's role, why should you give her applause?"

He is not the father and mother of all the actors. He also has to mediate their conflicts and take care of the filming. How can he be so exhausted?

"Your scene will have a lot of dance moves, is that okay?" Little Gilbert knew that Catherine had been here these past few days, so he asked with concern.

Little Gilbert replied: "It's simple, because on Broadway, she plays Velma in the latest show."

The above are the main reasons why Lilia, regardless of the role status gap between herself and Catherine, always embarrasses Catherine.

Catherine snorted and clapped along, but she thought in her heart: When the film is released, this black actor will find that his role is only from the side. I don’t know how he will feel.

Catherine stopped looking at the black actress who made her upset and went down to get ready.

Catherine firmly said: "I have no problem, it's okay."

Little Gilbert shrugged, noticing Catherine standing behind. She has put on makeup at this time, and her short black hair looks very pretty.

Verona pointedly complained: "Hypocrisy..."

It’s true that you, Catherine, were chosen by the director, but what does that have to do with me, Lilia?
If I perform well and the director takes a liking to me and casts me in the next film, my goal will be achieved.

"So that's it," Verona suddenly realized, "No wonder, if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to swallow this breath."

As long as this kind of thing doesn't affect the filming and operation of the crew, little Gilbert usually doesn't care about it.

Lilia deeply understands the nature of Hollywood. As long as it does not affect the crew, directors generally will not care about this kind of struggle, unless it is directed at someone very close to the director, such as Naomi Watts.

But having said that, Naomi Watts was able to reach the position of a first-line actress, in addition to the care of little Gilbert, her own scheming skills are not bad.

So Lilia dared to compete with Catherine, but she didn't dare to do anything to Naomi Watts.

There is always competition among actors and actresses, but Naomi Watts and Tom Cruise have transcended this low-level competition by virtue of their transcendent status.

This kind of overt and covert competition sometimes brings some unexpected effects, such as stimulating the actor's state.

When you think about it, you know that Catherine definitely doesn't want to be overshadowed by a supporting role, otherwise she won't be able to justify it, so she must give a better performance.

But sometimes it can have the opposite effect, and your performance under pressure may not be as good as usual.

Perhaps because she felt pressure, Catherine didn't perform very well at the beginning of filming, and it can even be described as terrible.

As if feeling Lilia's mocking gaze, Catherine felt a lot of pressure on herself.

Seeing that there was something wrong with the actor's condition, little Gilbert stopped filming and communicated with Catherine.

"Vilma, you shouldn't behave like this. If you want to become famous, you shouldn't be blinded by the things in front of you and overwhelmed by pressure.

Perform hard, sing hard, I want to show all my anger and dissatisfaction.

If you don't know how to act," Little Gilbert pointed at Lilia who was resting aside: "Just look at her, she performs better than you, she plays Velma in Broadway's "Chicago", aren't you angry? Not angry? Catherine, whose anger and fire was rekindled by little Gilbert's words, immediately became furious. She looked at Lilia and imagined Lilia's hateful appearance, and her performance immediately improved a lot.

So the scene passed smoothly, and little Gilbert was very satisfied with Catherine's performance.

There is no applause this time. For the supporting actor, a scene that performs exceptionally well deserves applause, but for the protagonist, it is not necessary. Instead, it feels like a mockery.

Verona Ryder, who had finished her visit, said to little Gilbert before leaving: "I heard that Gwen has set her sights on the Oscar for Best Actress. Please help me win her dream of an Oscar for Best Actress." Get rid of it.”

Little Gilbert smiled: "Okay, I'll try my best."

"It's not about trying your best, it's about being sure." Verona Ryder asked Little Gilbert to be certain,

Afraid that the devastated Verona would go to the supermarket to steal things again, little Gilbert had no choice but to obey: "OK, I will definitely kill Gwen's Oscar."

Verona was then satisfied: "This is pretty much it..."

Once good sisters, now turned against each other, which illustrates the crazy nature of Hollywood's pursuit of fame and fortune.

From this scene, what is the difference between these people and Roxie, Velma, Billy and others in the movie "Chicago"? They are all the same people.

A few days after Verona finished her visit, Gwyneth Paltrow also came to visit the set.

Watching Naomi Watts and Catherine's performances, she felt the pressure, but Gwen seemed confident.

"You know? Harvey has decided to help me compete for the Oscar."

"Oh? Really?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows: "Then I want to congratulate you in advance. With Harvey's help, it won't be a big problem for you to win the Best Actress."

"Thank you." Gwen came today to persuade little Gilbert and the Oscar-winning actress, "I know you specially prepared this film for Naomi.

But for the sake of our past relationship, can you make way for me? "

"It's strange. When Verona came a few days ago, she also asked me to kill your heroine for the sake of our past relationship." Little Gilbert complained: "What's going on with you two?"

"What else could happen?" Gwyneth looked unconcerned: "Isn't it just to steal her a leading role? Do you need to be so stingy?"

Little Gilbert didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was true. No wonder Verona had such a big reaction.

Although they haven't contacted her for a long time, given that Gwyneth is his key to Hollywood and he has slept with others, little Gilbert still kindly reminded her.

"Gwen, I don't want to talk too much. Although it's all hypocrisy in Hollywood, sometimes you really need friends. Don't make enemies everywhere."

Gwyneth glanced at little Gilbert, but still didn't care: "They are just mediocre people, nothing worth dating. I said, how about we get back together?"

"Reunited?" Little Gilbert was stunned.

"That's right," Gwyneth said confidently: "After so many boyfriends, I still think you are the strongest, and no one else is good. Even Pete is a worthless guy."

Little Gilbert was speechless. He pointed at Naomi Watts who was rehearsing with Catherine and said, "I want to ask her first to see if there are any extra rooms at Melon Manor."

Gwyneth compared herself with Naomi Watts, and suddenly felt the gap.

"Forget it, there are so many women in your Melon Manor, I have no interest in living there, bye..."

After saying that, Gwyneth didn't stop and left with her small bag.

Little Gilbert shouted from behind: "Let's have lunch together? Why are you walking so fast?"

Hearing this, Gwyneth walked faster.

Naomi Watts came to little Gilbert's side and wondered: "What is she here for?"

"If I said she was here to get back together, would you believe it?" Little Gilbert asked with a smile.

Naomi Watts nodded and said: "I believe it. She is probably regretting it now. If they had not separated at the beginning, her career would be better developed now."

"If she doesn't separate from me, I will separate from her." Little Gilbert held Naomi Watts' slender waist.

She was wearing a costume, a white one, looking sexy and charming.

Little Gilbert continued: "Gwen is here to challenge you. She will be your strongest competitor at the Oscars next year."

Naomi Watts is full of confidence: "Let her come, I have confidence in this film and I have confidence in you."

"Just have confidence, do our own thing well, and the rest will fall into place." Little Gilbert walked towards the set and continued the filming task.

Naomi Watts looked at little Gilbert's back, then at Gwyneth, with a sneer on her lips.

Hum, just because I have Spielberg as my godfather, I won’t cherish little Gilbert. Now I know I regret it, but it’s too late.

Oscar winner? Naomi Watts feels that she is destined to win it, Gwen will win it again in the next life!
