Made in Hollywood

Standing in the aisle of the prison bars, Duke looked at Charlize Theron on the opposite side. The actress’s temperament has changed significantly from the beginning, although in recent years he can only act in some movies. The vase is soy sauce, but the system training of icm still shows the effect.

Her role in "Chicago" is also a vase.

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

"You can also understand it as the arrogant temperament of a nouveau riche." He said again.

Charlize Theron’s rich lady Buster, like Roxy and Velma, who keeps kicking, twisting, and scratching her head, looks gorgeous and luxurious, but she can’t get rid of the richness of American society in the 1920s and 1930s. Strong taste of nouveau riche.

They can be said to be the epitome of the entire United States after the First World War and before the economic crisis.

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

She has made meticulous preparations for this role. According to the 3⊙ in the script, it is estimated that Miss Buster's final cut will not exceed five minutes, but it is very eye-catching-to grab the limelight of the heroine!

This role needs to completely suppress the same blond and blue-eyed heroine in a short time, so that the plot is convincing. After all, she wants to attract everyone's attention, so that Roxy will be coldly treated and cause behind The plot of false pregnancy.

From the bottom of his heart, Charlize wants to get Roxy, but understands that his acting skills and qualifications are insufficient. In particular, her tall and wide body is completely inconsistent with Roxy's petiteness in "Chicago", and singing, dancing and singing are also problems, but Dukken gave her Miss Buster, and Charlize also understood that this is also an opportunity. This is an extremely easy role, and the difficulty is not high. She only needs to show the side of the vase to the extreme.

The preparations were all in place. Duke only took a test shot and started the official shooting. Although the current Charlize Theron has mediocre acting skills, he has shown his own unique advantages in controlling this gaudy character to the extreme. .

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

At the end of the shooting, Naomi Watts, who served as the background painting on the other side, didn't look very good. Duke didn't bother to pay attention to the mess between these actresses, as long as they didn't delay work. You can pinch each other.

The kind of actresses who have direct rivals in the drama are still happy to get along. It only exists in imagination. Duke has been in Hollywood for so long, and there is no way to see it. In this respect, whether it is a super actress or a first-line actress Actress. In other words, the actresses who are climbing are all bitches.

Of course, these actresses also know where Duke’s bottom line is, as well as the lessons learned from Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones, even if there is a fight. It will also be controlled within a very small range.

That continuous ng dance duet not only consumed a lot of physical energy of the two female protagonists, but anyone can imagine, wearing nearly five-inch high heels, rubbing blisters on the feet, and pretending that there is no problem. In accordance with Duke's strict requirements, I am fully engaged in the taste of dancing.

This is not only Duke's desire to achieve the shooting effect, but also a kind of punishment in disguise. In his current status, let alone Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones, even Nancy Josephson said it. Nothing came out.

The scene is all over. Charlize Theron did not remove the makeup. Instead, he wanted to come to Duke, but was stopped by Tina Fei. Charlize, who was only in his early twenties, was obviously not as smooth as Catherine Zeta Jones. , Looked at Tina Fei coldly, seeming to slap her at any time.

"Something?" Of course Duke noticed all this.

"No." Charlize Theron's cold face immediately put on a bright smile, "I just want to come over and chat with you."

Duke looked at her, Charlize Theron was not stupid, and immediately turned to Tina Fei 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 shots as appropriate during post-production.”

"Tina." Duke shook his head to the female assistant, and Tina Fei immediately gestured to Charlize.

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

Generally speaking, Duke is very satisfied with the shots of Charlize Theron. She has shown a bit of a strong future aura, but it is slightly artificial, but with the gorgeous appearance, it is in line with the American nouveau riche back then. temperament.

In fact, since writing the script, Duke's first actor candidate was Charlize Theron. Although Lucy Liu was more suitable for the setting of the descendants of Hawaii's upstart, she completely suppressed Roxy, and her persuasive power would be bad Some.

When the audience sees her, they will inevitably think that she is not noble and beautiful than Roxy, so why should everyone chase her? Then I will remember that this is the movie setting, and then I convince myself, and at the same time I will play.

Even Duke once thought maliciously about whether Renee Zellweger, who was already a big name at the time, was the rookie director Rob Marshall who bullied the film industry on the crew? In the end, he chose such a wonderful role to play this role.

Of course, this was just a blind thought. With Rob Marshall’s status as the first brother at the time, such a role would not have much right to speak, and the image of Lucy Liu’s eyes, nose, and freckles all fit the Western so-called The consistent standard of beautiful Asian women.

"Transition!" Duke asked Tina Fei to inform.

The crew moved from the prison area of ​​the studio back to the theater area. The stage here has been adjusted accordingly. The background and curtain are all changed. The next shot is a group dance, and the object of the group dance is the hero of the film— -Tom Cruise.

Cruise, who played soy sauce on Charlize Theron just now, has changed into a costume. Put on makeup again.

Although he has watched countless movies of the other party and heard more of his famous name, Duke can be regarded as the first time he has seen Tom Cruise's live performance.

If no one mentions it, what is the deepest impression Tom Cruise left on him? Pride, arrogance, arrogance, and sometimes even confusion and confusion.

Any actor, if he becomes famous prematurely and the road to superstar is so smooth. I am afraid that there will be situations like Cruise. People are not machines, and they are always affected by the environment. How many people can avoid being dazzled by fame and wealth?

But even Tom Cruise knows the importance of hard work. In the past six months or so, he has set aside three hours a day for dancing and vocal lessons. Although he sometimes makes some non-partial requests, he is also dedicated. Finish your work. Anyone who is confused is aware of the fierce competition in this circle, and there is only one way to be eliminated if you don't work hard.

As for the scene to be filmed, not counting the initial practice time. A week before filming, Tom Cruise and the dancer rehearsed at least 7 times, basically maintaining a daily practice.

"Tom, I said everything that should be said at the preparation meeting."

For actors like Tom Cruise, talking too much will only have the opposite effect. Duke just exhorted, "We will fight once."

"Look at me. Duke."

Full preparations gave Tom Cruise ample confidence.

The gorgeous stage, bright lights, gorgeous dancers, and the handsome and handsome Tom Cruise, who is more like a playboy, constitute a luxurious scene with great visual impact.

Although Tom Cruise is still a face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. But he does work very hard. 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 voice cannot be compared with professional singers or musical actors, it is better than ever. Richard Gere’s drake voice is too strong.

In Duke's view. In the previous film, the best performer was Catherine Zeta Jones, even though the angle of the camera made her look more bearish than any other film; Renee Zellweger and Richard Key were the second. Billy, the lawyer played by Er, is simply too bad, especially in singing, dancing and singing. If Cruise is an amateur, then he can only be regarded as a child amateur.

The film has a half-year singing and dancing preparation period, and the effect is fully revealed at this time. Tom Cruise has completed Billy's singing and dancing with relatively easy control, and Duke also directly called for approval.

The most difficult part of filming is the singing and dancing. The film is only a deep mockery hidden behind it, and there is no too deep theme. If you talk about the connotation alone, this movie is not even comparable to "Saving Private Ryan", except for singing and dancing Outside of literary drama, Duke can basically control it relatively easily, and the shooting plan has been delayed, also because of the relationship between song and dance.

"Good job, Tom!"

Now is the time for cooperation, not for conflict. Both Duke and Cruise have temporarily suppressed their differences, especially Pat Kingsley, who has played an excellent lubricant role between the two.

"I heard that you are going to join the yacht club on the weekend?" Cruise asked about other things.

"Well, I have a small pier in my house." Duke temporarily put aside his work, "I am going to buy a suitable offshore boat, and I plan to visit with Kate."

"You and Kate..."

Hearing Tom Cruise’s slightly curious question, Duke shrugged and did not answer. This was one of the public events planned by Penny Kelly for the two after consulting him. (To be continued...)
