Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 287 One Day's Work

"How did you come?"

Zhen Jiecheng held his phone and glanced at the script Hathaway was holding to her chest.

Are you here to make up for the lessons?
"Won't you invite me in to sit down, Director?"

"Sit? Of course!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "Sit wherever you want, pour yourself a drink, I'll finish my call first."

"Don't worry, Fujisawa-san. Come on, let's continue talking about the wonderful agreement that Jiang Wen and I made to visit you together."

"By the way, Fujisawa-san, I've accepted a student. I'd better bring him here to introduce him to the school..."

Hathaway watched with interest as Zhen Jiecheng beamed with joy at his phone.

In just a short while, she heard words from four countries: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

It's not that she is fluent in multiple languages, but she is too familiar with them.

For example, Smecta and Sodisnet.

The director is really amazing, he even learns foreign languages ​​so well!
"What? You decided to come by yourself?"

"How can I do this? It's not just a bother for you, but you have to travel so long. Fujisawa-san, doesn't this make me, a local, seem impolite?"

"What? That's better than coming with bad intentions. Fujisawa-san, you should take some foreign language lessons. What do you mean by coming with bad intentions? That's called being a guest!"

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. See you in the capital later, Sayonara!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Jiecheng turned his gaze to Hathaway.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

"I don't think the character and lines of 'Emilia' need any further interpretation. In fact, I have already said everything that needs to be said on the set."

"That's right, director. I need you to help me clarify the direction." Hathaway raised her head and pointed to the bulging granary. "My mentality is messed up. Not only is there no effect, but the harder I try, the worse it gets. The more I try, the more confused I get."

"What's the reason?" Zhen Jiecheng walked around the table and sat down on the sofa opposite Hathaway.

"McConaughey acted so well! The more he imitated, the stiffer he became." Hathaway said with a wry smile, "The more I felt I was worthless."

This is normal.

When your deskmate solves a math problem that you have been scratching your head for hours but still cannot figure out, in just a few minutes, and he can come up with different ways of solving it, you will more or less feel frustrated.

But this is not the most important thing!
What’s important is that with the careful explanation from your deskmate, you “understand” how to solve the problem.

Then you encounter another difficult problem and scratch your head again. Your deskmate tells you in surprise: it is just a different form of the previous problem, the idea is the same, the medicine remains the same.

That feeling of frustration, I wouldn’t be surprised if it multiplied exponentially!
"Hathaway, you should be clear."

"That is, I never asked you to perform like McConaughey. That's unrealistic." Zhen Jiecheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and said, "Would you like one too?"

"Okay." Hathaway nodded.

"Crack~" the flame ignited and two streams of smoke slowly came out.

"I only ask one thing of you: that you don't look out of place or disconnected in comparison with McConaughey, that's enough!"

After a pause,
"Well, actually this request is not simple. After all, McConaughey's performance is really great!"

"but!"

Zhen Jiecheng leaned his head closer,
"You are not an amateur, and you are not a rookie!"

"You've been in the industry since 99. You're a professional actor!"

"So my request is not excessive at all! If there is a problem, it must be your personal problem!"

"Yes, that's right." Hathaway nodded. "I realized this very early, so I started trying to change it since 'The Trial of the Evil Queen' in 05."

Hathaway's choice of acting in a sexy role despite her sweet princess image was childish, which Zhen Jiecheng disagreed with.

On this point, some female stars from the East and the West seem to have reached a tacit understanding:
Big scale equals breakthrough.

As soon as he takes off his clothes, his acting skills seem to take off instantly!
From "The Tribulation of Alice" to the passion with Gyllenhaal in "Brokeback Mountain", and then to further "breakthrough" with Gyllenhaal in "Love & Other Drugs".

In this regard, Zhen Jiecheng's evaluation is: very positive, not negative.

Emmm, that's not right!
In this life, Hathaway came early to film "Interstellar", which conflicted with the filming date of "Love and Other Drugs".

It’s a pity that the audience may not be able to see more of Hathaway’s pinkness.

Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng subconsciously looked towards the granary.

Seeing this, Hathaway not only did not cover herself, but sat up straight.

Hiss! Girl, are you so cooperative?
Zhen Jiecheng had originally averted his gaze, but seeing this he had to focus again.

She is so open and confident, wouldn't it be timid of me if I acted shy?
Especially since she is a foreign woman, it would be a small matter for Zhen Jiecheng to lose face himself, but it would be a big deal if he lost face for the country!

When it comes to external issues, we must take them seriously!

Changing his sitting position to make himself look more relaxed. Zhen Jiecheng crossed his legs:
"So, did your attempt to change work?"

"But it's just using relatively extreme means to change your screen image. Have you improved your core? Can it support you in achieving your goals?"

"Hathaway, stripping is indeed a type of film art, a niche but very popular type. But if there is no core support, stripping is just a vase. It is the art of the body, the art of lust, but not your art!"

"We've strayed off topic. Let's continue talking about Interstellar!" Zhen Jiecheng put out his cigarette and took a sip of tea. "How do you want me to help you clarify your direction?"

"Honestly, I don't know either." Hathaway picked up the script and flipped through it. "Maybe you can help me calm down my messy mind."

"How messy is it?"

“It’s very messy.”

"How?"

"Emmm, besides eye contact, you can also use other methods."

Seeing Hathaway taking the initiative to break his focus, Zhen Jiecheng stopped pretending and patted the sofa.
"Come, sit next to me and talk."

It's not surprising, even though it's clear that Hathaway currently has a boyfriend named Adam Shulman.

If Zhen Jiecheng hadn't flapped his wings like a butterfly, wouldn't Hathaway be rolling around with Gyllenhaal bare-buttocks in front of the camera?

Compared with Adam Shulman's generosity, he~tui! Deng Chao is nothing!
Look at other people, they can hug their girlfriends and watch them do bold things with other men. Maybe they can use this as a stimulus to generate a stronger source of motivation.

If you can't change it, then accept it. Look at it from a different perspective and you're also enjoying the fun of life!

And didn't Adam Shulman successfully win the beauty despite the fact that many people were pessimistic about him and thought he was not worthy of Hathaway?
She didn't care about her past at all, including her ruthless decision to immediately cut ties with her lover of four years after he was arrested on charges against him by Furber.

"It's not good to sit on the side, is it? Well, I'd better stand up."

"By the way, Hathaway, I remember you seem to be a vegetarian, right? Would this be a bit unfriendly to you?"

"No." Hathaway raised her head and shook it. "I'm not a complete vegetarian. I also eat some meat. For example, I ate roast duck and roasted whole lamb after joining the crew."

He lowered his head and wrapped himself up.

Lift it up again,

“Of course, it’s included in the recipe.”

"Wait, Hathaway."

"If I finish my fucking at night and continue to fuck you tomorrow, would that be rude?" "Of course not!" Hathaway shook her head again, "Life is life, work is work."

He bent down and shook his butt again.

"Come on, Zhen!"

"Do you know why I'm so upset? Not only because of McConaughey's excellence, but also because of the pressure you put on me!"

"Especially the various Fakes you can flexibly arrange and combine!"

"Now you can arrange and combine them at will. Let me experience them all. This way I will have a better idea and feel at ease!"

Pink, not black at all.

Zhen Jiecheng can now confirm that the relevant images of "Love and Other Drugs" have not been color-processed and are very realistic!

There is no such thing as a toothpick stirring a water tank.

Chinese men can look at the world with confidence, instead of being confined to the big web woven by ××n that "the gender ratio is unbalanced and women are very popular."

The sound of "puff" was followed by "crackling" and became one.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhen Jiecheng stepped forward and cleared the way for the shares.

Unlike in the past, we now shoulder the lofty responsibility of not bringing shame to the country.

Zhen Jiecheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and take all the hard work on himself.

Stop, take a break, then continue.

Looking at Hathaway collapsed into a ball of mud, Zhen Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"I'm so exhausted!"

Taking a glance at the artifacts in the trash can, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

They are all old objects from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The source of the paper cannot be verified, but it is definitely not paper from the State of Lu. The content is very clear, and it is full of Jin characters.

The used plastic wrap was empty. Hathaway leaned on the bed with her tired body and stuck her head out.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He took out another piece of paper and wiped his mouth after spitting.

"Crack!"

"Fake!"

The profound language art was amplified by loudspeakers and echoed throughout the entire studio.

As Zhen Jiecheng continued to talk, McConaughey marveled at his language proficiency while looking at Hathaway worriedly, fearing that she would not be able to withstand the pressure and even collapse.

But soon, McConaughey had an even bigger surprise.

Hathaway remained calm and emotionally stable.

Wait quietly for Zhen Jiecheng to finish spraying.
"Director, give me some time to adjust. I will give you the performance you want as soon as possible!"

Then he looked at McConaughey.
"McConaughey, please, please act with me."

"If there is anything I don't do well in my performance, please remind me immediately."

"Okay, Hathaway." McConaughey nodded.

Rehearsing, teaching, adjusting, over and over again.

Progress was slow at first, but Hathaway was patient.

McConaughey tried to use his own understanding to help Hathaway make progress, but how can one “understand everything” at once and then “make a breakthrough at the critical juncture”?
It requires vast experience and long-term accumulation, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

until
"I have an idea!" Jing Tian looked at Guo Fan, "How about asking Senior Zhou Yiwei to teach us?"

"Me?" Zhou Yiwei in the corner was stunned. "No, no, Director Jing, you are flattering me. How can I have that ability?"

"Just give it a try. It's free anyway." Jing Tian encouraged, "You can learn from others' experience. What if you can apply what you have learned to other situations?"

"This"

"What's the matter? Hurry up and don't waste time!" Jing Tian urged.

"I have a trick, emmm, no, it should be a routine, a template." Zhou Yiwei scratched his head, "Hathaway, you can try to use other actions instead. For example, when you look straight ahead, find a point to focus on, and then slowly let go, so that the focus point forms a double image, so as to achieve a state of absent-mindedness."

"I have another trick that can be adjusted as follows."

Monday was full of nonsense, and the translator was racking his brains to express the complete meaning instantly.

Hathaway listened and tried it in front of the mirror.

Eyes light up!
Although it is a bit too rigid, the idea is correct! It is especially suitable for me who is in urgent need of "improvement".

So based on Zhou Yiwei's understanding, he added his own understanding.

It was then further polished with the help of McConaughey.

"Director, I've adjusted it!"

"Huh? Where's the director?"

"The teacher went to the toilet!" Guo Fan replied, "After going to the toilet, he will probably smoke two cigarettes, and then take a walk to adjust his mentality. So you continue, and prepare for the subsequent scenes."

"Okay!" Hathaway nodded, then opened the script and looked at Zhou Yiwei expectantly, "Zhou, let's continue!"

"By the way, Zhou, you have so many little tricks. Where did you learn them from?"

"Emmm, it was taught by the school teachers and summarized by the alumni."

"Which school are you from?" Hathaway continued to ask.

"Northern Film Academy."

"Beijing Film Academy? Wait, you and the director are from the same school?"

"Yes." Zhou Yiwei nodded.

"I know Beijing Film Academy. In addition to the director, there is also a certain Zhang, and Kaige Chen, and..." Hathaway gave a thumbs up. "There is no doubt that this is a world-class film and television art university!"

The next second, he was stunned and turned to look at McConaughey.

"McConaughey, which school did the director invite you to give a lecture at?"

"The Central Academy of Drama," McConaughey replied.

"The Central Academy of Drama? Why not the Beijing Film Academy? Not only did the director graduate from this school, I think he's also a professor here?"

"Emmm, maybe the students of Beijing Film Academy are already very excellent and don't need any additional training!" McConaughey guessed.

Zhou Yiwei: o(^｀)o
When Zhen Jiecheng returned to the set, what he saw was Hathaway smiling and making an OK sign.

Oh, so confident?
Come then!
"All units, prepare, action!"

Zhen Jiecheng sat behind the monitor, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his eyes widened wider and wider.

Although the performance in the details is not good enough, at least it is not very abrupt in contrast to McConaughey, and it can carry the show as a whole, and that's enough!
What's going on? Why has it changed so much?
Is it because of me? Can it be so effective in just one day?
