America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 144 Guest director gradually changes Theron’s image in his mind

On the set of "The Devil Wears Prada", Eric handed the script to Patty Jenkins.

"The filming of "The Life of Adele" is almost finished. There are still 5 scenes left. I expect it will be completed tomorrow."

Patty took a closer look and saw that it was still a familiar style, with extremely detailed shot scripts.

"So, you want me to end it or not?"

"Depending on your progress, I will give you higher authority this time, so you can play freely."

"What?"

Eric took the script back from Patty's hand, and then tore it apart violently. More than a dozen pages of the script were torn out by him immediately.

Then he picked out a text page and handed it to the other party: "Look, there are no more split shots. You can use your creativity. I won't limit you."

"OMG! This is truly a rare act of generosity!" Patty Jenkins opened her mouth in surprise.

"Haha, literary films are different from commercial films. "Adele's Life" requires creativity. Maybe you can give it a different feeling."

"Okay, I'll accept the temporary employment."

Seeing Patty leaving excitedly, Eric was relatively relieved.

It may not be possible to make commercial blockbusters for her, but to make literary and artistic films for her, especially literary and artistic films from a female perspective, she can definitely produce satisfactory works.

Just like "Wonder Woman 1984", this film was entirely written and directed by Patty Jenkins, who had absolute dominance on the set.

The result is a superhero blockbuster that has been turned into an art film, and it doesn't have the fun and excitement that the audience wanted to watch.

Although the literary drama that the audience does not like to watch is delicate and can move a group of female audiences, it is undoubtedly a negative point for a superhero movie because it is too slow.

What percentage of female viewers like watching superhero movies? What everyone wants to see is Gal Gadot wielding her sword to fight the enemy! Just like the first Wonder Woman.

The success of the first film is not entirely due to Patty Jenkins. This time I really have to thank Warner.

If you have watched the movie, you will find that the villain Ares, the god of war, appears out of nowhere, and there is not enough foreshadowing in the early stage. It is like he suddenly jumped out.

The reason is that the movie did not originally set up Ares as the villain, and there was no big battle at the end. After watching it, Warner felt that it didn't work, and it was too un-superhero, so they decisively intervened to change the movie.

In the second part, everyone knows how much she stretches her crotch after delegating power!

After watching Patty leave, Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci walked over. The latter is best known for her role as Wednesday in The Addams Family, with a baby face that doesn't look big.

She is 23 years old this year, and she still looks like she is 12 or 13 years old. Ten years from now, she will still look like she is 12 or 13 years old.

"Eric, why did the director leave?" Theron asked strangely.

Eric shrugged: "Now, I am the director of "The Devil Wears Prada", and Patty has been assigned other tasks."

"Huh?" The two women showed puzzled expressions at the same time. perform

"Don't be surprised, it's just a guest appearance, just this afternoon."

The two women let out a sigh of relief. It was pretty much the same. Their partnership with Patty went smoothly. A sudden change of director would not be very reassuring.

In particular, Eric's reputation was severely divided, and he was in Schrödinger's state. No one knew what his level was before the first film was released.

Seeing the worries of the two women, Eric smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I am good at shooting female subjects, especially gay subjects."

"Let me see first which scene we should shoot."

Wednesday held up the script in his hand: "Scene 25, Theobi and Irene's first night together."

"Okay, give me ten minutes and let me figure out the plot."

Eric quickly flipped through the script. As a classic film that won many awards around the world, he had naturally watched it several times. He was familiar with both the film and the real events, and had watched the documentary.

As a film adaptation, "The Devil Wears Prada" is actually somewhat deliberately trying to create dramatic conflicts and tension.

For example, Theron plays the prostitute-killer Irene. Although she is very ugly in the movie, her image is based on the real Irene's image after she was imprisoned for many years.

In reality, during the years when Irene was committing crimes, including the early days of being imprisoned, she had certain requirements for her appearance. She could not be said to be beautiful in appearance, but at least she passed the test and was by no means full of flesh.

Otherwise, why do you think she is soliciting customers? Besides, she was once married to a rich boss and she was good-looking.

Theobi is completely transformed by magic. The real Theobi's name is Tyria Moore. She is not the inexperienced girl in the movie, but a woman a few years younger than Irene.

Her character is also different from the completely selfish one in the movie. She lived with Irene for five years.

In the first three years, Eileen did not commit any crime, and even got rid of bad habits such as stealing and violence. It can be seen that the two of them lived a relatively happy life.

In reality, these two women should have truly loved each other, rather than in the movie, it was just Siobi taking advantage of Irene.

Eric roughly flipped through the script and communicated with Theron and Wednesday, and he was sure that Patty was still following the path of magic reform.

Eric decided to add a little helplessness and warmth to the case, not to whitewash his innocence.

After all, serial murder is a very obvious social perversion of revenge. You can't find any excuse to whitewash it, but at least it makes it closer to reality.

People are complex and this should be reflected.

After thinking about it, Eric picked up the pen and paper and began to change the lines. Watching the tip of the pen slide rapidly on the paper, Theron turned around and walked to the side, looking backwards to read the words.

Feeling the shadow, Eric raised his eyes to glance at her, and then continued writing.

"Sorry, if you're not used to it, I can stay away." Theron said softly.

"It doesn't matter, you'll need these lines soon anyway."

"Changed it for me?"

"There are both of you, but you take up the majority. I want to add some tension to this scene and make the characters of Erin and Naobi a little more fleshed out.

Hearing this, Wednesday walked to the other side of him and looked down.

After almost an hour of editing, deleting, deleting and writing, Eric finally came up with a result that he was quite satisfied with.

Theron and Wednesday stood there like this for an hour, looking down at him writing and drawing.

The staff next to them looked at the three of them carefully. As the big boss, Eric frowned and kept silent, so no one dared to take the initiative to move forward.

Originally, there was a person on the set who was responsible for moving the actors' chairs, but they stayed nearby and did not dare to come over, so Theron and Wednesday could only stand the whole time.

However, both of them are very professional actors. When they saw Eric changing his lines on the spot, they were fascinated and did not feel tired at all.

"OK, I think that's about it." Eric said slowly.

Then he looked at the two of them: "Sorry, the handwriting may not be clear. The writing is a bit confusing. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Theron and Wednesday looked at each other. The former shook his head slightly, while the latter, who had fewer lines, also shook his head to express no need.

"Can you understand?"

Theron nodded slightly: "I'm standing next to you. It seems like this is the right choice. In fact, I've almost memorized the lines."

"It's no problem for me, I've memorized the lines, and director, you look so handsome when you look serious!" Wednesday was not to be outdone.

"Really?"

"certainly!"

Ha ha ha ha

It's so comfortable to work with excellent actors, and it saves time for people to make copies.

Eric stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is on your feet, scene 25 of "The Devil Wears Prada", action!"

The plot of this scene is that Siobi brought Irene home, allowing her to enjoy the long-lost hot bath and warm bed. She used to live in a dirty warehouse.

Two people on the fringes of society came together, they warmed each other, felt the friendship from each other, and also had sex by the way.

Eric added a scene after the two had sex.

At this time, the two were in harmony, and Irene, who felt the taste of love, also opened her heart.

She told about her past, and Eric directly added what happened to Irene in reality to flesh out the character.

In fact, at the beginning of Patty's filming, part of Irene's past was briefly mentioned, but the script didn't go into much detail on this aspect, and the portrayal was too crude, so Eric completed it for her.

In the camera, the two people hugged each other in the afterglow after enjoying themselves.

Wednesday lay on her side on Theron, showing only half of her face and not needing to make an expression.

Theron is in the male position. She has to gently hug and pat the other person like a man, but at the same time, she has to show a post-menstrual look like a woman.

Looking at Theron with her eyes tightly closed and breathing lightly, Eric shouted directly.

"Theron, please make your expression wider. You have to understand that Irene is a prostitute, and the nature of her job has made her numb to love."

"But now she feels that she has found true love. That kind of love is passionate, and the reaction in her body and expression should also be passionate."

"Okay director, I understand!"

Theron made an OK gesture.

""The Devil Wears Prada" Scene 25, action!"

Theron's expression was much bigger this time, and she even added the phrase "God!"

Her eyes were blurred, like a smoker who had been holding back for a long time. The enjoyment and fascination of taking a puff of nicotine into the lungs was really in place.

But after a moment, her expression changed again, she rubbed her eyes, then roughly grabbed toilet paper and wiped her nose.

Seeing this, Wednesday raised his head: "Irene, what's wrong with you?"

After blowing his nose hard, Theron shook his head slightly: "It's nothing."

"No, something must be wrong with you. What happened? Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Theron hurriedly denied: "No, of course there is no Siobi. It's my own fault."

"Tell me, why?" Wednesday continued.

After hesitating for a moment, Theron said in an awkward and hesitant tone: "I just thought of some bad things, but they have all passed."

But in the close-up, Siobi looked straight at her with wide eyes.

Wednesday's eyes are already big, and they also contain strong curiosity, just like her somewhat childish character.

"Say it, I want to get to know you Erin as well as you already know me."

"Card!"

Eric yelled, interrupting the filming.

He pointed to Wednesday: "Richie, this line has two meanings. One is that you have revealed your past to Erin at the bar, and the other is that you have just completed the great harmony of life."

"In the process of making love, Erin is the dominant party. She controls and explores you, so she already knows you very well."

"Then when you say this line, your tone should contain a hint of shyness and cuteness, which is more in line with your age and personality."

After hearing Eric's interpretation, Wednesday was a little surprised: "Director, does it have such a meaning? I didn't realize it at all."

Eric chuckled: "I told you, I'm very good at photographing female love subjects."

"Yes, you can see it now."

The filming resumed, and at Siobi's request, Irene began to slowly tell her tragic past.

"Siobi, my previous life was very bad. My father was a bastard and a pervert. He liked little girls with spears."

"Later I heard that he was in jail. Maybe he couldn't bear the beating inside and committed suicide."

When talking about his father's suicide, Theron smiled, showing resentment towards his father.

"Then my mother disappeared one day and I never saw her again. I was adopted by my grandparents."

Wednesday sighed slightly: "Parents just like to abandon their children. Fortunately, you still have grandparents."

Theron said in a mocking tone: "Fortunately? This is such a wonderful use of the word."

"Haha, do you know? From me

At this point, Theron suddenly became manic, violently opened the quilt, and roared with all his strength, like a flood that suddenly burst its embankment.

Wednesday seemed to be frightened, showing a frightened expression and hurried away from her.

Until Theron stopped going crazy and looked at each other with anger and tears in his eyes.

Wednesday then slowly crawled over and held Theron in his arms. At this moment, the status of the two of them changed between male and female.

Theron continued weakly: "When I was fifteen, my grandmother died and I was kicked out of the house until you met me."

"What makes me regretful is why that old bastard didn't commit suicide like his son-in-law. Maybe he is still alive and well now."

"Another thing I almost forgot is that I became addicted to drugs and started trading my body for drugs."

"Later me"

"No, stop talking, stop talking Erin!"

Wednesday interrupted Theron's narration and hugged her tighter, the two of them clinging to each other.

"Kah! Great, your performance is perfect, this one is over!"

Hearing this, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief and let go of each other. It was June now, and even though there was air conditioning on site, it was still quite hot while filming under the quilt.

"I thought it would be NGed many times, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Rich, well done. Theron, I told you you would win an Oscar."

Theron smiled heartily and said: "Director, you have also changed my opinion. It seems that what those newspapers said are all false."

"What?"

"You said you don't understand directors at all and are just a hot-headed rich second generation. If they are here, they should apologize to you."

Eric put on a very serious expression: "On this point, we have the same view."

"Really? But I was just joking and saying some polite words to compliment you."

"What? Hey, it seems that the publicity and public relations expenses for "The Devil Wears Prada" can be saved."

Eric scratched his non-existent beard and pretended to think.

Theron immediately waved his hand: "No, Director Patty will tear me to pieces. What I just said was a joke."

"Really? Me too."

Ha ha ha ha

Thanks to the 333-coin reward for being as calm as water and as wise as me, thank you boss.
