Chapter 404 Favor of the Movie God(1/4)
Cher is wearing a black coat, with sexy black stockings exposed underneath, a pair of red high heels with red sequins on her feet, long wavy black hair, and more three-dimensional facial features after makeup, it is simply
A classic black-haired beauty appeared in front of everyone.
Cher's facial lines are very suitable for filming movies. Her cheekbones are a bit high and may be said to be mean, but with the combination of eye shadow and blush, they are very suitable for movie shots under lighting and are very three-dimensional.
feel.
The face has built-in shadows, and only one light is enough, without the need for complicated composite light sources to create effects.
All images on the movie screen are flat, and the human brain needs calculations to reconstruct the three-dimensional image of the human face. The more three-dimensional the facial lines, the easier it is for the human brain of the audience to find them attractive. In addition, the advanced film shooting
The lighting needs to be beautiful on the big screen, and the requirements for actors are much higher than those in TV dramas.
In a sense, whether an actor is suitable for the big screen depends on being selected by the God of Movies. Only actors favored by the God of Movies have the possibility of becoming the protagonist.
Cher made a dancing gesture and turned in from outside the camera. She was like Mimi, the protagonist in the opera "La Bohème", deeply intoxicated in love.
Olympia Dukakis enters the picture from another angle.
David Watkin is indeed a very good director of photography. He quickly arranged several cameras based on the results of the rehearsal, so that he could shoot this story around the long dining table from different angles.
He also hid the camera just right so that it would not capture other cameras. Sometimes, the blind spot for shooting was just a few dozen centimeters suitable for placing the camera. Watkin quickly found the best angle based on experience.
.
When the actors still feel like they were having a fight, they can immediately get into filming mode.
"God, what happened to you?" Mother Rose asked her soul when she saw her daughter dancing alone like a lunatic, waving a scarf in her hand.
"I really don't know where to start..." Loretta, played by Cher, pulled up a chair and sat down at the dining table.
"Your hair is different too." Mother Rose keenly noticed Loretta's changes.
"Mom, everything is different." While watching the opera last night, Loretta found that she had found true love, the Ronnie with the wooden hand.
"Are you drunk?" Mother Rose gave her daughter a cup of hot coffee.
"No, are you drunk?" Cher's mood was still filled with dissatisfaction with Dukakis. This rhetorical question fit perfectly with Loretta's romantic feeling of doubting anyone after she met the true love of her life.
Everyone is dissatisfied.
"No, but I'm a little hungover." Ross, like her husband Cosmo, had to use alcohol to anesthetize herself last night in order to fall asleep next to her cheating husband.
"Where's Dad?" Loretta has not yet woken up from the romance.
"Upstairs," Ross got himself another cup of coffee, "Johnny Camarelli was here last night."
"What? Isn't he in Sicily?" Loretta could no longer remain calm. She was not ready to tell Johnny about everything she had with Johnny's brother Ronnie. Originally, Johnny had to wait for the funeral arrangements for his seriously ill mother.
After that, she can go back to New York to marry Loretta. Loretta still has time to think about how to explain to Johnny.
Suddenly realizing that she was about to face her fiancé Johnny, Loretta stood up with excitement in her heart. She had not enjoyed a few hours of romance and tenderness, but was suddenly frightened away by the violent conflict she was about to face.
"He is not in Sicily. He came yesterday and had a chat with everyone."
"Impossible, he was in Sicily, his mother was about to die, and he was there to accompany her on her last journey." Loretta shouted excitedly in denial.
When people are suddenly faced with something they cannot accept, they tend to deny the facts. Loretta was very excited and wanted to argue and deny the fact that Johnny had returned to New York.
"No, he's back."
"No way, he is in Sicily with his dying mother!"
"His mother is fine."
"Impossible, she is already seriously ill and is about to die."
"This is a miracle!" Rose said lightly. She had not completely gotten rid of the conflict with Cher. This kind of tone was like an acting master who was making trouble unreasonably when watching a singing amateur guest-acting.
"Miracles? Miracles... Now is the modern era. There are no miracles anymore." Cher seemed to be hitting back at the so-called acting masters. All she needs to do to make a movie is to do one thing well.
While raising her voice and arguing with her mother, Loretta quickly picked up the napkin on the table and began to wipe the lipstick on her mouth. If Johnny came this morning, she would not let him find out that she was having an affair with Ronnie.
.
"Ha, I think Sicily still maintains its original rhythm and has not entered any modern era." Dukakis looked at Cher's furious performance, sat down slowly, and replied calmly. If you have acting skills, you don't have to work so hard.
"He came directly from the airport. He wants to talk to you." Putting the coffee on the corner of the dining table, mother Rose looked at her daughter's deliberate makeup, and she already knew something about the problem.
"There is a love hickey on your neck!" Dukakis's voice suddenly rose, "What are you doing? Johnny will come home this morning to talk to you."
Loretta, played by Cher, was so frightened that she took a look at herself on the cupboard glass.
"Tsk..."
Ronald watched the whole scene behind the camera. Sure enough, the best performance was the true performance. Everyone's emotions were already in place during the morning's quarrel. There was no need to do any mental construction at all. The emotions were fresh in the memory.
Have it at your fingertips.
Of course, Cher's performance was still a bit off. Dukakis spoke with emotion and rhythm. Every sentence was stuck at the turning point of the emotion. The strict training on Broadway made their line skills very good.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What the hell did you do? Your beautiful future life has been flushed into the toilet by yourself." Dukakis became more and more excited as she spoke, and she spread her hands.
, with your palms upward, use up-and-down gestures to strengthen your arguments.
"Hurry up and cover that damn love bite of yours. Cover it with foundation and put on some makeup!"
"Okay, okay, you have to help me." Xueer took out the plush pajamas from behind the door and was about to change out of her sexy outfit.
"Zi..."
Suddenly the doorbell rang. The mother and daughter looked at each other. Is this Johnny coming?
"Oh, I'm going to change clothes, you open the door," Cher said to Dukakis.
"Zi..." People outside the door kept ringing the doorbell.
"Open the door, Mom." Xueer picked up her pajamas and walked into the inner room.
"Um..." Dukakis's mother, Rose, kept shaking her head and making some meaningless comments about her daughter's fall in love, expressing her disapproval.
"Cut!"
Ronald was actually not very satisfied with Cher's performance. She did not express the panic of the heroine Loretta when something happened in a consistent manner.
Cher herself is a big singer, so of course she doesn't panic at all about such small things. But Loretta is just a small accountant, making a living by doing part-time accounting for Italian small businessmen among relatives and friends.
Of course, you will be even more nervous when you encounter something like this being discovered by your fiancé on the spot.
But it doesn’t matter, Ronald thought to himself, such an emotional state is rare. Don’t waste time on such small details. The reversal of this scene is very dense. In just a few minutes, multiple characters will react backwards and forwards.
Turn, the audience's emotions were stirred up and down, it's better to let go of Cher's little flaws, at least her previous performance was very good.
"Change to the next game." Ronald said gently to the staff.
Nicolas Cage appeared at the door and looked inside through the glass.
Mother Rose saw that it wasn't Johnny, but another handsome Italian guy who was younger than her daughter. She knew what had happened.
She opened the door and yelled to her daughter, "Not Johnny!"
Loretta opened the door and came out with her head tilted. She had already changed into a set of home-style plush clothes and plush socks, dressing up comfortably.
"Oh, it's Ronnie." Loretta breathed a sigh of relief.
Ronnie, played by Nicolas Cage, has a slicked-back hair, and his hair is still standing up a little unfavorably. The black windbreaker is carefully selected and he looks very handsome.
"Is Johnny here?" Ronnie asked Loretta inside.
"Not here now, but he will be here soon." Loretta felt a little more at ease when her lover arrived.
"Very good, when he comes we will spread everything out and make it clear on the table."
"Hmph..." Mother Rose looked at the two people in this state, and her guess was more or less certain.
"Hi, I'm Ronnie, Johnny's brother, nice to meet you." Ronnie stretched out his hand... and said to his mother Rose, who was blocking the way in the middle of the corridor.
"I'm Rose Castorini, Loretta's mother."
"Nice to meet you."
Mother Rose ignored Ronnie, pulled the collar of Ronnie's windbreaker with her hand, and looked at his neck. "You also have a love bite mark."
"Oh..." Loretta held her head, and her mother, Rose, saw through Ronnie's bottom in just two strokes.
"Your mother is well." Ross went to prepare oatmeal and told him the news of his mother's miraculous recovery.
"Ah, this is a good thing, although I am not very close to him."
"You have to go, you have to go, you can't be here today." Loretta pushed Ronnie. She didn't want to face her fiancé Johnny and her lover Ronnie in person.
"I'm here to meet your family today..." Ronnie came to Loretta's house after careful consideration.
"Who wants oatmeal?" Mother Rose was there preparing breakfast.
"I want some." Ronnie pushed Loretta away, walked to the dining table, and took off his coat. When it came to the other hand, it was not convenient to take off the sleeve with the prosthetic hand, so he took off the sleeve with his mouth.
"Tsk..." Ronald admired in his heart. Nicolas Cage was inspired by a bunch of old actors. His little action was very consistent with the identity of Ronny Camarelli, who was equipped with a wooden prosthetic hand.
Acting is about reacting. You often play against people with excellent acting skills. Even if you are a talented actor, it will be difficult if you don't improve. In terms of acting, the effect of teaching by example is far greater than words.
The camera is facing the corridor, and Vincent Gardenia, who plays the father Cosmo, walks in wearing a white shirt.
