Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 535 Is one nomination enough?
"I think it's okay, just do as you want." Laila handed him the drawing back: "As long as you always remember that we are making a movie, it will be fine."

Rob nodded excitedly: "I know, then I will do it first."

Lila watched him leave with a smile, and then flipped out the script that she had read countless times.Even the real best director nominee is working so hard, so what reason does she have to relax?

In "Chicago", there are a few passages that she thinks are very classic, such as the passage in which the female prisoners in the prison tell the reason for their imprisonment, and the lawyer manipulates the puppet-like heroine, and puts him in the same puppet-like reporter's question The part that I hope to reveal the content and promote it, etc., is very exciting.

A classic movie does not need every sentence and every shot to be a classic, sometimes just one classic paragraph is enough to make the whole movie regarded as a classic.

So Leila wanted to do her best to shoot the classic passages in a more classic way, so as to paint the whole movie with a layer of gold paint called "classic".

Fortunately, after her advice a few days ago, Rob really caught the essence and made the shooting gradually smoother.

What Laila was going to do today was the puppet scene she liked so much.

In this paragraph, the heroine is a puppet in the hands of the lawyer, and her every move, every word and deed is completely controlled by the lawyer.This is not an easy one, first of all Renee has to be completely like a puppet, without Roy's hand behind her back, she has to act like a doll thrown on the ground.

What is a puppet?It cannot have emotions, it cannot have superfluous actions.But at the same time, in order to express that she is indeed a living puppet, she can't play too much.If you want to grasp the key points, it is very difficult without some hard work.

"CUT!" Lyra called a pause, calling Renee over.

"Is there something wrong? Director Moran?" Renee walked over suspiciously. She felt that she should have performed well in the segment just now, so how could she still be NG?

Lila asked to show her the shot just now, and said in a calm voice, "You can get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for the above performance."

Renee's heart couldn't help but skipped a beat. This should be a compliment, right?But why is it that there is no happy feeling when it comes out of the director's mouth?

She didn't know how to respond to Laila's words, she could only stand there awkwardly watching her performance on the small screen.What's wrong?Much like a real doll, no?

Just as she was thinking about the meaning of what the director said to her, she heard that indifferent voice ask her a question.

"Is one nomination enough for you?"

Will Renee be content with nominations?
If it is an actor who has not been nominated, an Oscar nomination is enough to make her happy. After all, it is a few candidates selected from thousands of movies, and the gold content is very high.

But she is different, she once got a nomination for "BJ's Single Diary", another nomination is not so important to her.What she wanted more was an Oscar for Best Actress!Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned down so many film appointments and practiced hard for several months to join the crew.Just seeing this movie has the hope of getting her a statuette!

"Director Moran, I'm not satisfied! Please tell me what to do!"

At this time, she is not a charming character in the movie, but a real actor.If she could be promoted, no matter how hard she worked, she wouldn't complain!
Her attitude satisfied Laila, and if she hadn't expected more from her, she wouldn't have called her here.

"What you are making now is a doll, yes, it is quite a beautiful doll." She made a little joke in order to ease the tense atmosphere, and after seeing her smile, she continued: "I think you act like a doll." It's nice that your joints do look like they're being manipulated. But don't forget that you just have to act like a puppet, not that you're actually a puppet. You're going to be in this scene Show your human side as well.”

Like a doll but not a doll?Renee didn't quite understand her words: "So how can I act like a puppet and behave like a person?" Aren't these two points inherently conflicting?
Laila pointed to her eyes: "Depend on this."

"Eyes?" Renee was even more confused.

"That's right, it's the eyes." Laila pointed to Renee on the small screen: "Look at your performance, what are your eyes doing? It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Your eyes really reveal your soul." Is it? In this scene, what do you think the heroine's mood is?"

Renee thought for a while: "The lawyer is controlling her to say what he wants her to say, and she loses herself and can only repeat his words like an echo."

"So you really think she's willing to do that from the bottom of her heart?"

Renee pondered.In the play, the woman did make a few small actions that violated the lawyer's instructions, but the lawyer quickly made up for it.This shows what?Doesn't it mean that the heroine has her own mood and way of thinking, and is not a real doll?
"I seem to understand a little bit." She looked at herself thoughtfully.

Lila smiled slightly: "That's good, you use your eyes more, and when to look where. Although you can't speak freely, your eyes can. Let the audience understand through your eyes that you are not a A real doll."

"Okay, I will work hard!" Renee nodded solemnly.

In order for her to think clearly, Laila gave her half an hour to rest, and then restarted the shooting of this scene.

In this scene, Renee needs to sit on Roy's lap all the time, and he controls the actions that a controlled puppet will do.This time she added some movement in her eyes. The dark eyes rolled around in the white of the eyes, which seemed to have a lot of aura.

After a shoot, she hurried to Leila's side to see the effect.It doesn't matter if you look at it, even a layman like her can see that the effect is indeed better than before.

"Thank you, Director Moran!" She thanked her with some excitement.Just based on the performance just now, she felt that she could win an Oscar.

Lyra accepted her thanks with a smile.So she likes to be a director, and making a good-looking movie makes people happy. When the actors under her break through themselves and show their talents under her advice, they will have an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

She believes that after this time, even if Renee does not win the Oscar for this film, she has learned valuable experience and believes that she can lay a solid foundation for future statuettes.
