Chapter 59 Heroines who are mirror images of each other(1/2)
"This movie of yours has an old Hollywood feel." The production manager sent by Twentieth Century Fox to the crew was responsible for various logistical services. His name was Robert Greenhart. He was very careful and handled every detail.
Very appropriate, he was brought in by the boss of Fox to help Ronald.
"What should I say?" Ronald sat on the director's chair with his name written on it. It was filming at noon today and he was taking a rest.
"The biggest star in your movie is Harrison Ford, and the second biggest star is Sigourney Weaver, but one-third of the filming has already been done, and they haven't appeared yet. This is very similar to the big studio era.
In movies, at that time, stars were assigned roles on the set, and there was no need to appear from the beginning."
"Hahaha... You are right. This movie is not a purely commercial film. I am trying to tell a complete and interesting story."
This person's subtle flattery made Ronald's fatigue disappear. As of today, everything went very smoothly. Sigourney Weaver actually also has experience on the theater stage. She also respects the director on the set and everything is in accordance with
Film the script.
Next is the scene where the two heroines meet for the first time. Tess arrives at the new office on her first day. This office is decorated according to the office layout of an old investment bank on Wall Street. Catherine, played by Sigourney Weaver,
·Parker, the office is in the corner, the best office on the first floor.
Tess's office is just outside her office, working together with other managers' secretaries.
Compared with the messy internal layout of Tess's original company, this company is obviously much more successful. The interior uses beige walls and walnut-colored wooden doors as the main colors. Even the secretary's seat is very spacious.
The interior decoration of Catherine's office is even more luxurious. There are windows facing the street on both sides, with light-colored curtains, a desk spanning the entire office area, and a state-of-the-art computer in one corner. The props group and the scenery group are arranged through the class
Due to the relationship between farmers, the interior decoration details of Goldman Sachs were almost moved over intact.
"Action!"
Sigourney Weaver walked into the frame of the camera from a distance. She was wearing a black and white plaid woolen suit, a white cashmere turtleneck sweater, and a thin pearl necklace hanging on it. It was also very accurate to Wall Street.
Powerful outfits commonly worn by female executives.
The upper body downplays femininity and highlights competitiveness, while the lower body wears a one-step short skirt, which makes it swaying when walking and highlights female charm. Let them take advantage of both.
Sigourney Weaver's coat was unbuttoned and hung on her shoulders. She walked like a boss. She walked to Tess's secretary's desk.
"Hi, I'm Catherine Parker, and you must be Tess." As she said this, Sigourney handed the brown Hermès leather briefcase to her left hand, then took off the Gucci suede glove on her right hand and stretched out her hand.
"Uh huh..." Melanie shook hands with her and let out a nervous, awkward and unnatural laugh. She had reason to laugh like this. Tess also wore a strong suit today, but it was in the basement of the World Trade Center Mall.
A bargain, a black ordinary knitted turtleneck sweater, a thin gold necklace, a black ordinary white-collar coat, the only brand mark is her belt buckle, a cheap small brand ESPRIT made in Asia, exaggerated belt buckle
The pattern is too fancy compared to Catherine's.
"Aha, you have a stuffed toy here." Sigourney Weaver behaved like a very scary executive. She picked up the little rabbit stuffed toy on Tess's desk and spoke in a tone of voice.
It's like finding fault.
"Uh-huh, I usually don't put stuffed animals on the table. My friend gave me this for my birthday a few days ago." Melanie Griffiths reacted very well and was greeted by a
The boss, who was full of power, was critical, so she explained anxiously.
"Are you kidding? I have my birthday next Tuesday too." Sigourney Weaver's reaction was also very good. The character of Catherine's self-centered temperament is reflected in these two lines of dialogue.
Very fully, "How old are you?"
"Thirty", Tess spoke more and more quietly, being shocked by Catherine's upper-class temperament from head to toe.
"Really? I'll be thirty next week, and we're almost twins."
"Giggle...except I'm a little older," poor Tess was already starting to speak incoherently.
If a man were the boss, maybe Tess's makeup and dress would still make people like her, but such a female boss who is better than herself in all aspects makes Tess feel inferior in every aspect, and...
"I've never worked for a lady, geez... or anyone younger than me." Melanie Griffiths played Tess's bewildered look very well.
"Well, there's a first time for everything." Sigourney Weaver also played Catherine's condescending manner, "Wouldn't this be a problem?" What Catherine thought about most was herself.
"No, of course not."
"Very good", Sigourney Weaver turned to enter the office. She felt that it was very good to deal with a secretary like this. "Why don't you go make a cup of coffee and then come into my office? I want light roast, no."
Put some sugar." She entered the office and slammed the door.
"Cut!"
After Ronald stopped, Sigourney Weaver opened the door and came out of the office to hear Ronald's opinion on her performance.
"Here, take..." Ronald opened the drawer of Tess's prop desk, took out a plush doll from it, and handed it to Sigourney.
"So cute..." Sigourney Weaver also likes this kind of toy. Just now she picked it up and looked at it for herself during the plot, and she almost burst out laughing. This kind of toy is naturally attractive to women.
It's very relaxing on my hands.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I like it very much, so I will give this to you."
Ronald turned around and went to explain to the camera crew about the next shoot, leaving the two actresses talking there.
"It means he likes your performance." Melanie Griffiths said quietly to Sigourney Weaver.
"So, this is Director Ronald's way of expressing his appreciation?" Sigourney quietly put the stuffed toy away and put it in her bag. Although this was much smaller than the gorilla toy he gave her a few days ago,
But this kind of reward for outstanding performance makes Sigourney like it even more.
"Isn't that right? He will also give you cookies baked at home, if he likes your performance."
"He is really a very reserved director, but there are not many directors who can think about actors like this. It's very difficult."
Unaware of his unintentional move, he gained the sincere love of the two heroines. Ronald and the director of photography were discussing the arrangements for the next shot.
"I hope to make a contrast. Here is Catherine, refined, wealthy, and privileged, and over there is Tess, rough, poor, and grassroots."
"Then I will give them a contrasting light. In addition, I need to find a prop with symbolic meaning."
"Props?" Ronald snapped his fingers and called the person in charge of the props, and explained the requirements.
"What do you think of this?" After searching for props for a while, he brought two ceramic coffee cups from the tea room. The coffee cups were separated by a line in the middle, one side was gray and the other side was black, which happened to be Tess and Catherine.
People's clothing colors.
"Very good, just use this."
Ronald exclaimed in his heart and put the two cups into Melanie Griffith's hands.
"Action!"
The camera in Catherine's office was facing the door, and there were two knocks on the door.
"Come in"
Tess held two cups of coffee in both hands and entered the office cautiously.
One cup was handed to Catherine, and the other cup was placed on his side of the desk. The elegant gray one was facing Catherine, and the black one was facing him.
"Tess, let's talk about the basic rules first..." Catherine was not very satisfied with Tess, so she wanted to set rules for her.
"...I think the two of us are a team, so we also have a team slogan: simple, elegant, and error-free." After talking about a lot of her requirements, Catherine began to use a seemingly polite, but actually very rude
criticized Tess's dress.
"...Wear superficially and what they see is clothes. Dress elegantly and they see women, as Coco Chanel said."
On the one hand, Melanie Griffiths felt that her dressing sense had been severely criticized and she felt a bit humiliated. On the other hand, she felt that Catherine had great taste and what she said made sense.
"What do you think of what I'm wearing now?" Tess carefully asked her boss's opinion.
Sigourney Weaver had tilted her head towards the computer on the side of her desk. She did not look at Tess, intentionally or unintentionally putting some pressure on her:
"You look good, but maybe you'd like to pay attention to your (exaggerated) jewelry."
Melanie Griffiths looked embarrassed. She was criticized for her dress by a female boss who was younger than herself. She felt that she lacked a lot of knowledge about dressing. She quickly put her hands on her knees and covered her clothes.
Hold the big gold bracelet on your wrist and try to keep it still to prevent the big earrings from making a jingling sound.
"I want you to give me your opinion. We are a two-way street, and I also want to see your diligence. Have I made it clear enough?" Sigourney Weaver turned her eyes back and treated her like this.
She learned the attitude of servants from her parents' attitude towards domestic servants, which was to alternate between beating and being kind. She looked at a photo on the table, which was a photo of her with her father, a successful man, and her mother, a socialite.
.
Melanie Griffiths played a secretary of ordinary background who was at a loss when being squeezed by her boss. She cleared her throat:
"That's very clear, Catherine."
Sigourney Weaver smiled, Tess could now work hard. She stood up and said, "Finally, you can call me Catherine." She shook hands with Melanie Griffith again.
shake hands.
Different from the handshake in the aisle just now, when Catherine and Tess were still passers-by, this handshake in the office completely positioned the relationship between the two as that of boss and secretary.
"Cut!" Ronald came out from behind with a smile. It was a very good thing to have the leading actress Melanie Griffiths in the state. Sigourney Weaver was brought into the state by her.
, the rivalry between the two today progressed step by step and was very exciting, with every expression and tone of voice correct.
"Very good, very good, I like this scene very much..." Ronald immediately praised her again. Today is Sigourney Weaver's first official day of filming. This kind of positive feedback has a great influence on her.
Status is important.
"What, no stuffed animals?" Sigourney Weaver smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Ah? I didn't prepare so much. We'll talk about it later." Ronald was confused as to why he wanted to do it.
"It seems like the director wasn't happy with the scene?" Sigourney asked Melanie quietly.
