America: Child stars start with The Shining

The photoshoot of Charles and Brooke Shields went very smoothly.

The two of them hardly needed any guidance from the cameraman to naturally show their most photogenic side in front of the camera, just like a pair of siblings who were perfectly in sync and worked together very well.

The person in charge looked at the newly produced sample and was very satisfied. He then shook hands with each of them to express his gratitude.

His original plan was for the two of them to each take several sets of individual photos so that they could target different audiences with their promotional materials.

But now, after taking these photos of the two of them, he suddenly felt that perhaps it would be more effective to promote them as a brother-sister duo?

After all, such a perfect couple is always more likely to attract the attention of parents.

Twins are also a significant part of the children's clothing market.

Of course, he still needs to discuss the specific details with his superiors...

However, these things are actually no longer relevant to Ciel.

For him, this job was over; after receiving his payment, there was nothing else to do.

As for how the subsequent promotion is arranged, it has nothing to do with him, and CK will not give him more money just because the promotion is effective.

The biggest gain from this shoot was actually getting Brooke Shields' business card.

If Charles wants to enter the fashion industry in the future, this person would undoubtedly be a good guide.

After all, she has close ties and collaborations with many fashion magazines and controls a lot of resources.

The two said goodbye one last time before leaving.

Shire needs to hurry back to the set of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," as filming has recently reached the part nearing its completion.

His second film is also about to officially come to an end.

......

In a forest near the Hollywood film studio in Los Angeles.

Today is the last scene before filming wrapped on "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," and it's also the final scene in the entire movie's plot.

A group of children surrounded E.T., saying their final goodbyes to their alien friend who was about to board a spaceship and return to his own planet.

This is a very typical heartwarming scene, and it is also the scene that is most likely to touch the audience as the emotions of the whole movie build up to the end.

Charles stood off-camera, appearing very calm, as he prepared his emotions.

On the contrary, several of the child actors had tears welling up in their eyes at this moment.

They spent a long time together on set and became familiar with each other.

However, after filming this scene today, they will have to part ways, and everyone is a little reluctant to leave.

In a place like Hollywood, perhaps only a group of sincere children would so openly reveal their true feelings to each other.

Jennifer was no exception.

The little girl stood next to Charles, her eyes red and glistening with tears, as if they would fall at any moment.

Charles sighed and said:

"Jennifer, please don't start crying before filming even begins."

Upon hearing this, Jennifer glared at him irritably and retorted in a muffled voice:

"No, I didn't!"

The two spoke in hushed tones, and several young actors who were also somewhat downcast couldn't help but look over when they heard the commotion.

Everyone was already emotionally engaged, holding back tears. Although it wasn't entirely because of the plot, this very real reluctance and sadness was perfect for this farewell scene.

Spielberg clearly noticed this as well.

Seeing that the staff had almost finished setting up the scene, he didn't wait any longer and quickly signaled to the script supervisor to prepare for the official start of filming.

"Action!"

The group stood in front of a huge spaceship model. The night was deep, and the artificial smoke around them slowly diffused into the air under the lights, appearing very hazy in front of the camera.

The children stood beside ET, all looking somewhat sad.

Jennifer jogged over from a distance and stood in front of ET, with the camera naturally focusing on her face.

She pursed her lips, her eyes red-rimmed, trying hard not to let the tears fall, but her voice was still clearly choked with sobs as she said:

"ET, I want to say goodbye to you."

After honing her skills on set for some time, Jennifer's acting has become very natural, and her emotions in front of the camera are very convincing.

She slowly walked forward, gently kissed ET on the forehead, and then, with a hint of reluctance, stepped back.

Soon, it was Shire's turn to say goodbye to E.T.

He stepped forward, not showing his emotions on his face like the others, but quietly looking at ET with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Behind the monitor, Spielberg narrowed his eyes slightly.

For children, separation is a strange thing. Just a few days ago they were playing together, but at some point, they suddenly have to part ways.

That's exactly the feeling that Charles is portraying right now.

Spielberg was initially worried that Charles's performance in this scene might seem too restrained, given that the boy is usually much more composed than his peers.

But now it seems that it was precisely this feeling of oppression that intensified the emotions of parting.

Ciel handled the situation perfectly, walking step by step to E.T., gently opening his arms, and slowly embracing him.

Jennifer could no longer hold back her tears, which finally streamed down her cheeks.

She looked at ET with red eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only let out a soft sob.

The young actors next to him also had tears in their eyes.

Driven by Charles's emotions, the emotional impact of the entire scene was almost instantly pushed to its peak.

Spielberg stared at the monitor and nodded in satisfaction.

This scene was filmed perfectly; if we were to do it again, it would be difficult to capture such a natural and seamless effect.

The spaceship's hatch slowly opened, and soft light poured out from inside.

ET stepped onto the stairs, turned around, and looked once more at the children who had accompanied him all the way.

Charles looked at the other person quietly, his eyes brimming with tears.

After a brief silence, the spaceship's hatch finally closed slowly.

This was the last time he saw E.T.

"Cut! Great job!"

"Alright everyone, filming for 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' has officially wrapped!"

The next second, applause, cheers, and whistles rang out almost simultaneously, and the forest suddenly became incredibly noisy.

Charles turned around, let out a long sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes.

But before he could react, Jennifer suddenly rushed over and hugged him.

"It's all your fault! You made me cry! Waaah..."

Charles paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and gently patted the other person's back.

Jennifer sniffed, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, looking utterly pitiful.
