Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Arrival in London and script reading meeting

“Claire, your fans are quite loyal.” That day, Derrick called.

“What should I say?” Claire was a little confused.

“I’m preparing to start a business recently, so I go to major websites from time to time to investigate.” Derrick explained, “I can often see your fans or alumni posting about you. What they write is very interesting. I couldn’t help but click in and watch it with gusto.”

“Haha~” Claire smiled a little awkwardly, how could there be such a caring fan, who would also provide first-hand information from time to time. It’s all the result of the system [Virtual Navy Army].

“Well, how did your investigation go? Have you decided on a business direction?” Claire changed the topic. He was also interested in the Internet. It’s a pity that he only has the names and main contents of the companies he knew in his previous life in his mind, and lacks any professional knowledge. It’s hard to get in and get a piece of the pie.

“Yes!” Derrick suddenly became excited, “Claire, I discovered a business opportunity from your fans!” ”

Oh? Tell me about it!” Claire asked.

“I discovered that your fans often post about you, but the mechanism of the Yahoo community is so bad that you can only browse randomly and cannot accurately find the content you want to see.” “Yes, indeed!

” Claire couldn’t agree more.

“So, I was thinking, can I set up a website that can give each user his own ‘home’, where they can write the content they like and are interested in. Others can come to his home as a guest and subscribe. The article he wrote.” Derrick gushed.

Claire listened to Derrick’s description, and the more she listened, the more she felt, isn’t this just a blogger? Could it be that Derrick is the founder of the blog? Oh my god~

“Derrick, this idea of yours is great! Great! I like it very much!” Clay praised without hesitation, “Every young person has his own desire for expression, and this ‘home’ is their freedom Feel free to express yourself on the stage! If your website is established, please be the first to invite me to join! I want to share my daily acting life on it for the fans who love me, so that they don’t have to collect information everywhere like headless flies. Yes!”

“Haha, totally OK! Claire, you have given me a lot of confidence! I will first go to my dad to ask for a start-up capital, and then I will discuss it with you after I succeed.” “Waiting for your good news

, Brother!” Claire is also looking forward to it.

…

It has been nearly a month, and Claire’s basic ballet dance training is coming to an end. He can already perform decently together with other professional actors in the school who have been practicing for 7 or 8 years.

The other students were surprised by his quick success. Claire hurriedly said vaguely that she had learned a little bit when she was a child and had a certain foundation to deal with it. After all, it was a bit shocking to go from zero basics to ballet in one month.

Teacher Tracy reported the progress here to the producer. The crew can get ready first.

This “Billy Elliot” was mainly filmed in the countryside of Manchester, England and London. Claire was quite excited. He had never been abroad since he was a child. In his previous life, he had always stayed in China and had no chance to go abroad. He even didn’t even get a passport because he couldn’t use it.

As temporary guardian, Roxy will fly to London with Claire. The flight tickets have been purchased and will take off directly from Los Angeles in a week.

This time, Teacher Tracy will also go together, and she is a member of the film crew.

……

Claire wakes up from her sleep and the plane lands. Los Angeles is in the West 8th District, with an eight-hour time difference from London. It was Claire’s first time taking a transoceanic flight and she felt a little uncomfortable. She almost slept the whole way.

Well, it’s business class~ The crew reimbursed the travel expenses!

After picking up their checked luggage, Claire and her group walked to the airport exit, where film crew members were already waiting to pick them up.

“Welcome! Mr. Claire! Ms. Roxy!” The young man with a strong London accent greeted them, “Ms. Tracy, welcome back to London!” The young

man drove them to the hotel they had booked, “Today There are no arrangements for the time being. You two have a night’s rest. I will come back to pick you up tomorrow morning to take you to the set.” ”

Okay, sorry to trouble you!” Claire and Roxy are quite satisfied with this arrangement. The long-distance flight across continents is indeed tiring, so come early Take a break to catch up on the jet lag.

…

On the morning of May 28,

yesterday’s guy took Roxy and Claire to the movie set.

Here, Claire met Gary Lewis, who played his father in the movie; Julie Waters, who played the ballet teacher; and Jamie Delavan, who played her brother Tony in the movie.

Of course, there is also the director, Mr. Stephen Daldry, a British uncle with some gray hair and wearing glasses.

After greeting each other and getting to know each other, the creators started a ‘script reading’ session, or ‘table read’! It’s very vivid, isn’t it?

This is a novel experience. Before she acted in a TV series, Claire was not considered a main actor, so there was no need to attend this meeting.

Everyone entered a conference room. Claire and the other leading actors were sitting on the left side. Opposite were the directors, screenwriters, producers and the behind-the-scenes creatives.

Claire, as the absolute star, sat in the middle, opposite director Stephen.

He opened the paperback book with his name printed on the cover, and what he saw was a script with lines and scenes related to him marked in eye-catching colors. So thoughtful! Claire praised in her heart.

The process to get started is simple. The actors followed the “scene” in the script as a unit, got into the mood of the performance, and read the lines from beginning to end.

After each scene is read, the actors can ask questions about the characters, events and other things in the script that they do not fully understand. At this time, it is up to screenwriter Mr. Lee Hall to explain and answer.

The screenwriter can also further polish and adjust the script based on the actors’ own understanding.

…

Although Claire has watched the movie “Billy Elliot” dozens of times in the system space, this is the first time she has seen the script. It’s obvious that this script will go through several rounds of revisions later, and it will be different from some scenes in the final version of the movie.

While Claire read her own lines, she silently compared the differences between the final version of the movie and this version of the script.

“Well, I don’t think I saw this scene in the movie. It was probably deleted later.” ”

Yes, it was deleted right. It was a bit verbose and slowed down the pace.” ”

This scene is a little different from what is shown in the movie. Billy jumped down at the end, which is not in the script yet.”
