Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 145 Laughing is harder than crying

"The secret of life is hidden in genes. Genes are the basis of life, and determine the characteristics of individuals..."

The camera initially aimed at Brooke Shields' face and made a close-up.

The close-up is a test of the beauty of the actor. Brooke Shields' hair was tied tightly behind her head by the hair stylist and turned into a bun. Wearing a large tortoiseshell-colored glasses on her face, the average person has long become an old school girl dressed like this.

But how could Brooke Xiaosi be an ordinary person? The amorous eyebrows and eyes are revealed from behind the glasses, and the shiny lip color just presents a daily style of self-cultivation and self-cultivation of a big beauty. It's just that this beauty is only fifteen years old and is still memorizing the terminology of biology class.

"Genes have two functions, one is heredity..."

The camera team pulled back quickly, from close-up to close-up of the head and shoulders, and then to a medium shot of Brooke's full body.

Bo Ji Xiaosi doesn't know how many shots she has taken, and she already knows how to cooperate with shooting. Seeing Spike Libby's three-two-one gesture, he knew the time had come. He took the old-fashioned glasses off his face and put them on the ground, slid silently outside the frame of the camera.

Catherine Bigelow takes her glasses off the camera and leaves quickly.

The camera is pulled to the middle shot. It turns out that Bo Ji Xiaosi is squatting on the ground, and her feet have just been put into CK jeans. Then she fell back, her feet turned up, and began to push up hard, pulling her jeans up to her long legs.

Skinny jeans are very difficult to wear, especially when I was shooting with size 2 jeans, which is a size smaller than Brooke's usual size.

While exerting force, Bo Ji Xiaosi was still reciting the explanation of the terms of evolution.

"Genes ensure that individual traits are passed down from generation to generation, but sometimes, genes will mutate..."

Brooke Shields rolled over on the ground, raised her hips, and began to pull her jeans up to her waist even harder, so much so that she was panting for breath.

"This mutation is causing changes in individual characteristics,..."

Brooke Shields finally pulled the jeans up to her waist, then she buttoned them hard, changed her position and lay on her side, unbuttoned her hair with one hand, shook her head, and her thick, shiny hair fell down her shoulders.

"Some genetic mutations cause genetic advantages, which, under natural selection, become the driving force of evolution..."

Brooke Xiaosi lay down and pulled one foot to the opposite shoulder. She must have trained yoga or gymnastics, and her body flexibility is excellent.

"Some mutated genes died out, and some mutated genes were better able to adapt to the environment than others, creating a new species..."

Brooke Shields turned over, supported her body with one knee and both hands, raised her other foot, and put her body in the shape of the letter "CK".

"This is bsp;Kle, survival of the fittest."

"AndCut!"

"You did an excellent job, Brooke." Ronald called Cut, confirmed with the photographer that the shot was perfect, and led everyone to applaud.

Brooke Xiaosi stood up and gave everyone a ladylike salute, "Thank you, thank you."

Everyone laughed, and the air was filled with joy for a while.

This series of advertisements actually uses homophonic stalks. The pronunciation of Gene in English is similar to jeans. It is clearly talking about genes. In fact, it is boasting that CK's skinny jeans have evolved, which is not the same species as ordinary jeans.

Tightness can fully reflect the beauty of a girl's lines, so all the disadvantages that are difficult to wear because of tightness have turned into advantages after wearing them. In order to stand out sexy, it doesn't matter if you spend a few minutes pulling your pants hard before going out.

However, this advertisement is still a bit showy and sexy. It deliberately made Brooke Xiaosi recite a large number of scientific term explanations when she was wearing a small size trousers, which deliberately caused Brooke to be out of breath when she spoke, and there were no sexual hints.

Brooke's mother, Terry, reviewed the script and offered no comments. Ronald can't say anything.

Shaking his head, he started discussing the next shot with the team.

Brooke's godmother and her daughter hurried forward to give her water, the dressing room was busy with makeup, and the hair stylist started combing her hair with a big comb to prepare for the next haircut. Everyone in the studio knows what they want to do. The shooting team composed of NYU students and alumni has become very efficient after running in.

Calvin Klein on the second floor looked at all this, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the two people next to him, "Ronald's level is good, he knows how to show the charm of women."

A half-bald man who had lost a lot of hair, continued, "Yes, he's efficient, but he's still relying on Richard's creative script, right?"

Another middle-aged man with glasses was Richard Avedon, who competed with Ronald for the shoot. He was originally a graphic photographer and wanted to enter film and television advertising through this advertisement of an old friend. He designed the script this time. However, he does not have any shooting experience. Now he is watching the scene shooting, and he also wants to know some shooting methods and use them for his own use.

"It seems that I still need to find a professional film team. He did a good job." Richard Avedon said, "The key is in the last advertisement. Terry only cares about her daughter's exposure, so she didn't say no."

"Let's watch..." Calvin Klein continued to look down.

Ronald's team is ready and waiting for the next shot.

Bo Ji Xiaosi put her hair up again, this time the hair stylist made it looser, leaving a few strands of hair outside, looking mature and playful. This girl can seamlessly switch back and forth between high school girls and working women, and her tall figure makes her play the role of working women is also very convincing

Ronald himself stepped forward, pasting behind the camera to look at the composition. Brooke Xiaosi, who put on a light-colored plaid shirt, sat on her lap and supported her chin with her backhand. The slightly thick makeup hides her childishness very well. When the two dimples are not smiling, they show a potential, which makes people want to make her laugh.

What a stunner, no wonder advertisers like her so much, her relaxation and expressiveness in the camera are really top-notch.

Ronald relinquished the camera to the DP and lectured to Brooke himself.

"The line of this line is very simple. After you finish speaking, you have to laugh very happily, breaking the image of a professional woman, the feeling of a little girl stealing her mother's clothes and talking to herself in the mirror, and finally return to your truth. age."

"Got it." Bo Ji Xiaosi looked for a feeling.

"Recording? Camera? A!" Ronald announced after Brooke Shields signaled that she was ready.

"I'm the one who brought the bread home..."

When Brooke Xiaosi became serious, there was still a hint of a smile, which was great. Ronald was secretly satisfied.

"I don't care who wears pants at home, as long as I wear bsp;Kle."

This is another pun ad, the feminist movement is slowly rising in America, professional women fight for the right to wear pants, replace the traditional value of men bringing bread back to the family, and women doing housework.

"Pfft..." Bo Ji Xiaosi laughed after reading the lines.

"Cut!" Ronald stepped forward and said to Brooke, "It's not this kind of can't help but laugh, I need a burst of laughter, like when you hear a very funny joke, hold it back until you can't hold it back. Stay and then explode."

"Okay, director." Brooke Shields glanced in the direction of her mother, and Terry took another sip of the strong drink, which happened to be caught by Brooke.

Sorrow climbed onto Brooke Xiaosi's eyebrows again, Ronald frowned, how could there be such a bitter look? He noticed early on that Brooke sometimes took on a miserable look, perhaps appropriate for Jed, the tragic protagonist of "Endless Love," but never in commercials.

"Relax, Brooke."

Ronald starts shooting the first strip.

"Hahaha..." Brooke laughed after finishing her lines.

"Cut!"

Ronald frowned again, not only him, but Spike Lee and Catherine Bigelow also found Brooke Shields unnatural.

"She's a little nervous, like she's worried about something?" Catherine seemed to feel something.

"Borgy shoots print advertisements all the year round, and this smile is completely qualified in still images. But the image will make any ordinary person find him unnatural." Spike analyzed from a technical point of view.

"Think about the funniest thing about you, Brooke. Let's do it again."

Ronald decided to try again.

"Hahaha……"

"Cut!"

Still the same, Ronald announced a five-minute break.

"It seems that the young director has encountered some difficulties?" Among the three people on the second floor who were watching the shooting scene, the slightly bald middle-aged man said again, "I can shoot technically, but I don't necessarily know how to train actors, while Richard De is known for training models..."

"Let's continue to watch..." Calvin Klein said.

Ronald called for Spike and Catherine. "We've got to figure out a way to get Brooke into the scene. Do you have any funny jokes?"

With that said, Ronald turned around and took out his bag and Sony Walkman. "Record it if you have it. Let's listen to Brooke. Here's a clip, and we'll shoot the laughter alone."

A little adjustment had to be made, Bo Ji Xiaosi couldn't smile for a long time, and it was impossible to wait for the filming to wait until she was out of shape.

Catherine and Spike tried their best to think about the jokes they thought were funny, then taped them on the recording crew's equipment and transcribed them to tape.

Ronald also tried his best to think of a funny joke. He knew that Brooke Xiaosi's language class was very good, so he found a language joke.

"A rural Louisiana student got into Harvard and introduced himself to a well-dressed student in New England,

I'm from Louisiana, where are you from? (Where doyouefro?”

"I'm from a more educated state and don't end a sentence with a preposition."

"Okay, where are you from, asshole? (Wheredoyouefro, Asshole?"

Next, I found other staff members and recorded various jokes for about ten minutes. Ronald felt that it was almost the same. Stuffed the tape into the Walkman and gave it to Brooke Shields.

"Here are some jokes we recorded. Listen to it. When you think it's funny, take it off and hand it to me. You can laugh naturally."

Brooke Shields put on her headphones and pressed the play button.

Ronald gestures to the camera without calling A. Afraid of interrupting Brooke's emotions, he turned on the camera ahead of time, ready to capture the real smile.

Brooke Xiaosi is embarrassed. She has always been very good at posing the expressions and poses that the photographer needs, and the shooting efficiency is very high. In this way, it is very rare that the progress of the shooting is affected by the lack of a smile.

But what the girl was most afraid of was this kind of pressure. She glanced at her mother and saw that Terry's face was serious, so she quickly packed up and tried her best to hear the joke.

The jokes weren't funny at all, there were black slang words she couldn't understand, there were jokes about feminism she couldn't understand, and Ronald's grammatical joke at the end reminded her of her never-ending homework .

The girl raised her head again and looked at her mother.

Terry just took out the bottle and took another sip. She has been very stressed recently and started drinking in the morning.

Brooke Xiaosi looked at Ronald and waited expectantly for her to laugh. The invisible pressure was overwhelming. Coupled with the fact that her mother started drinking again, she remembered the days when she was sent to a rehab center, alone and without anyone to talk to.

A sudden grief came to my heart...

Brooke Xiaosi cried out.

Then the grievances doubled, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Ronald and the two assistant directors looked at each other and said helplessly, "Cut!"

Then he turned back and said to the staff, "Who of you said something lewd and made Brooke cry?"
