British 1986

Chapter 167 Natalie Portman

After picking up the iced Coke on the table and taking a sip, Allen stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk. I'll go in and rest for a while."

After driving all the way west for dozens of minutes, Allen took a nap and changed into less serious clothes. When he got off the bus, he had already arrived in Solva.

This is Pembrokeshire, a coastal county adjacent to Carmarthenshire, with Haverfordwest as its capital.

Solvay Port is very interesting in April. It is the safest port on the west coast of Wales, bar none!

Why safe?

Because after the tide goes out, there is basically no water in the entire port. As long as the ship is parked, the entire ship will be stranded on the mud in the port bay. It cannot go out to sea until the sea water rises. There is no water. If the ship is parked on the mud, this can still be done. Not safe?

Apart from not being able to bring in too big a boat, everything else is an advantage.

A cordon was set up around the highlands on the coast, and dozens of large and small tents were lined up in a row. The colorful tents looked very artistic.

Several actors who came with him just got off the car and couldn't help but be a little confused when they saw this scene.

Julian Moore was wearing a windbreaker and looked at a huge bonfire in the distance on a clean lawn. A big fat chef was holding a big fork and was roasting a whole cow in circles around his head while using the fork. Stir it into the beef, and from time to time grab the seasoning bag on your waist with your right hand and sprinkle generous amounts of seasoning on the beef.

A few people who looked unusual just by looking at their clothes gathered around and laughed in low voices. When they saw the arrival of the motorcade, they quickly moved towards this side.

Behind them were a group of children, both men and women, playing football on the grass, which looked very lively.

"Your Mightiness!"

"Welcome, Your Excellency, the barbecue is almost ready."

"Haha, it's great to see you again, Your Excellency."

"."

Cameron stood at the door of the bus, enviously watching a group of people salute and say hello to Allen who had just gotten off the bus.

The taste of power is so intoxicating. The expressions on these people's faces are so just right, not flattery, not flattery, but when I hear them speak, every word seems to be filled with flattery. It's so disgusting that I don't know how to restrain myself. one time.

Seeing that Allen was about to go down the last step of the bus, the last step of the bus was slightly higher than the ground. Cameron stepped forward, bent down and held Allen's right arm, speaking in a voice that could be heard by everyone around him. He said in a loud voice: "Sir, please be careful, there are pebbles on the ground."

Today we need to shoot a scene for a school spring outing. It's not easy to find a group of brats. Even Natalie and her family have to waste so much time trying to get it done.

Allen finally thought of a way and called some acquaintances. The people in front of him were either following him, Allen, or they were attracted to Daying and Earl's Mansion and were about to follow him.

In addition to some of these people's subordinates, everyone gathered together and took their families on a spring outing, and finally enough was enough for Master Allen to gather a dozen young kids of the right age to act as extras.

After looking at the sky, Allen said, "It's getting late. Let's take a shot first and have a barbecue later."

"Yes, yes, sir. You are busy first. Do you need us?"

"Yes, yes, making a movie is a big deal! This is a great opportunity to promote our Wales!"

"Yes Yes!"

Allen glanced at York, who was roasting a whole cow in the distance, and called Syphis, who had just gotten off the car, and said: "First arrange for someone to test the camera and take a shot of children playing on the beach. Pay attention to safety."

"OK!"

Syphis nodded. Not all coasts like this are beaches. How about taking pictures of children falling off cliffs?

Ignore the small village in the distance for now, and you can’t take pictures from the tent side. I can only go a little further west and pick a low beach to try first. Fortunately, Rex came this time, too, and brought more than a dozen people with him. There are police officers. You can ask them to help keep an eye on the children and stop them from running around.

Rex brought a little fat man to Allen and said, "Master. This is my son, Pluto! Say hello to your Excellency quickly!"

As he said that, he slapped the little fat man on the back of his head who was sniffing.

"Respect, respect." The little fat man may have been a little nervous after being beaten by Rex. After respecting him for a long time, he actually forgot the following words, and his little fat face turned red from suppressing it.

Allen shook his long windbreaker, grabbed the hem of the clothes and pulled it up, squatted down, looked directly at the little fat man, and saw that he was wearing a very cool metal badge on his chest.

This badge is like a shield, with a relief on it, a huge bull's head with very domineering horns. There is a row of words on the bull's head, which means the best police officer in Carmarthenshire.

There is also a row of small words below, the bravest child.

It seems very unreliable, but this badge is a real and officially recognized medal, and the issuing unit is - Allen's butler, Hu Te.

This is a small gift for a close retainer, especially a child like this, who has a strong sense of honor, and even though this medal looks childish, this thing is a real honor that can be written into the file!

Ordinary people, there is no place where you can get what you want.

Even if this kid goes abroad to work in the future, he just needs to take out this thing and it will be very effective. Let’s see.

I can get a medal from the Earl when I was a child. Isn’t it awesome?

"Don't be nervous, just keep acting for a while. If you perform well, you will be rewarded!"

"Uh-huh!"

The little fat man sniffed again and nodded blankly.

His father only said that he would take him to meet a big shot today. They came from Carmarthen early in the morning and had been waiting all morning. When Meng saw Alan, with his imposing manner, the little fat man was already frightened. Speaking, he had never seen his father please someone so much.

Dad is so scared, how could he not be scared?

Allen patted the confused little fat man, pulled him slightly, made him half-turn around, stood next to him, pointed to the servant next to him holding the camera and said: "Look at the camera!"

"Crack!"

This photo of Mr. Allen squatting and talking to the children is ready.

"Rex! Come here and take a picture together."

"Oh, alright!"

Rex was extremely excited when he saw Allen taking the initiative to take a photo with his son. Except for the media, ordinary people could not take pictures of the aristocratic appearance.

Without the owner’s permission, that’s called candid photography!

If he was caught secretly taking photos, the crime would be serious. He didn’t even take a photo with Allen. Unexpectedly, his son was lucky today. When he grows up, he will know how much this photo alone can bring him. Good thing, I didn’t expect that after taking the photo, Mr. Allen actually asked him to take a photo with him?

Rex quickly imitated Allen's example and squatted next to his son. He hugged his son with one hand and grinned happily. He looked at his son who was still a little confused next to him from the corner of his eye and pinched him again angrily. He rubbed his butt and whispered, "Smile for me!"

"Crack!"

Another photo was taken. Rex looked at the camera with a sense of loss. He stood up and took the film handed over by his servant and thanked him.

He just took a photo, and after it was developed, he planned to enlarge the photo, frame it, and hang it in his home and office!

Um.

The name is called commemorative photo tour with His Excellency the Earl.

Rex's son had a few lines today, but it doesn't matter whether he said them well or not, since there will be post-dubbing anyway.

Looking at the strange-looking little black man in front of him, Pluto felt some instinctive disgust.

There are basically no outsiders in Wales, and black people are extremely rare.

These black people have a characteristic. They like to gather in groups. They like to run wherever they are treated well, and then quickly breed a large group.

To look at a region's attitude toward black people, you can tell just by looking at the number of black people.

And in some places, if the treatment is not good, or even life is in danger at any time, then the little black guys will not dare to go. Although Wales and France are only separated by a sea, they can only see Swansea and Cardiff occasionally. To a few cautious black men, elsewhere.

No one dares to come

Therefore, when Pluto saw Natalie Portman wearing makeup to look like a black child, although it felt a bit strange, he still instinctively hated it.

"What is your gold medal? I like it very much. Can you give it to me?"

The camera in the distance does not affect Natalie's performance at all, she is considered a "seasoned actress"!

Pluto was so taken aback by her that he forgot about the camera.

But when it came to the gold medal, he glanced blankly at the medal hanging on his chest.

This is his favorite thing. Not only does it look good, but his father has specifically told him that this thing is very precious and he should keep it well. If he didn't go out to the party today, he usually wouldn't bring it with him.

Now this little black girl in front of me asked him to give her the medal?

Who is you?

"I don't know you, you are so rude, why should I give it to you?"

Natalie heard Pluto's words and subconsciously recited the lines: "Because I am an American, America. If I want it, you have to give it to me. If you don't give it to me, I will steal it!"

"???"

Pluto was stunned for a moment. What's the reason?

This is the first time he has heard this reason in his life. His father is the Sheriff of Carmarthenshire!

In school, he was the only one who robbed other people's things. Someone actually came to rob him today?

Almost instinctively, Pluto used his hands hard, and little Natalie was pushed down directly.

"Woo"

She was originally good at acting, but being pushed like this, coupled with Pluto's size, scared her to tears.

"Pull away! Don't disturb the child. Just calm him down."

Allen quickly added as he watched Rex pull back his sleeves and prepare to hit his son.

Children are not sensible.

What he wants is this effect. Only when it is shot with emotion can it look real.

In front of Natalie's parents, Allen squatted and "talked" with her.

"What's this?"

Pointing to the small cage in front of Natalie, Allen told her to feed the bunny with her own hands every day. Natalie was very obedient.

"rabbit!"

"No, no, no! This is your cart of candy!"

Allen held the rabbit cage with one hand, put the cage behind him and said, "Now, the rabbit is gone! Your candies are gone too, they were all snatched away by that little fat man!"

"???"

This move was easy to understand, and Natalie was a little angry at what Alan said.

"Now that your candy has been robbed, you have to be angry. For a while, you have to remember your current mood. If you think about the candy being robbed, you really hate the little fat man who took your rabbit away. Do you understand?"

Natalie, who was only seven or eight years old, rolled her eyes, smiled and nodded.

Allen didn't know if she remembered it, so he could only take a shot first to try.

In this movie, he wanted to capture the viciousness and ferocity of a little girl that was inappropriate for her age.

But how should something like this be represented?

The story can be promoted, but relying on the story alone will seem a bit pale. The most important thing is the acting skills of the actors, especially the facial expressions. To put it bluntly, it is the eyes!

But the young actor is too young, so she doesn’t understand these things yet, so we can only teach her slowly, or let her embody certain emotions and try them over and over again!

Moreover, this kind of substituted emotion should not be too excessive. We must consider the children's mental health and endurance, and can only think of various inducements.

so.

This little rabbit is very crucial. The rabbit is an inducement. Compare this to candy. If the rabbit is there, the candy is there. If the rabbit is gone, the candy is gone.

In this way, it is easy for Natalie to understand.

"Okay! Shoot quickly and give it a try."

There can't even be a supporting role in this kind of scene. Although it was shot that Natalie wanted a medal, but the fat man didn't give it to her, she stared at his back with some resentment after the fat man left.

Now I can only take a close-up of the facial expression, and then I’ll take other shots and edit them together and that’s it.

Natalie pondered for a while, looking at Allen in the distance and the rabbit cage at his feet, and a splash of water slowly gathered in her eyes.

"Click!"

Allen saw that this was a bit too much. What he wanted was to be fierce, not to cry.

If you cry, there is no need to go to such trouble. After a few beatings, even a child will cry.

"Don't be impatient. Take your time and think about it. Someone robbed your things. He even used your rabbit to get the candies. Then he didn't give you any candies and ate them all by himself! Think about it."

Allen followed the lead and looked at Natalie standing there with empty eyes in a daze. He stood up and backed away slowly, indicating to the photographer that he was ready to take the photo. As long as his eyes were in place for a moment, the rest could be cut out!

Crouching a few meters away from Natalie, Allen held a telescope and stared at Natalie's eyes carefully until the little girl's eyes slowly changed from empty to smart, and then from smart to gloomy.

Very good, I had that feeling. Allen, who was about to call it a day, suddenly paused in his hand holding the telescope, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his whole back.

Natalie's eyes were fierce and she slowly turned her head. She really stared at Pluto in the distance, and then...

A silent sneer that looked extremely penetrating!

Even compared to the little girl's sneer at the end in the movie called "Tang Detective 1", it's not far behind.

However, Natalie was only seven or eight years old at this time!

Her sneer is extremely inappropriate for her age, so the shot is full of tension and very visually impactful!
