"Then add some lines to her and explain that she is a southern girl, so it's okay to have an accent..."
"You really like her...but this is a good idea..." Ronald felt that this idea was actually very practical. Since Julia Roberts has no acting skills and has difficulty playing a role, in a short period of time,
The reasonable choice is to modify some unimportant backgrounds and try to make the character just like her.
Before coming, he watched the sample films shot by Garry Marshall in the screening room. It must be said that Julia Roberts and Richard Gere did have a very suitable chemical reaction in their close-ups on the screen.
Richard Gere doesn't have much expressive ability, and spends most of his time with a stereotypical smile. Julia Roberts, on the other hand, seems to only be able to laugh with her mouth wide open and her eyes shining brightly.
But the close-up editing does give people a very comfortable aesthetic feeling. It seems that the woman's silly smile has become the kind of innocence that stands out among women on the street; and the man's stiff smile can easily be interpreted as a kind of all-in-one smile.
The powerful businessman under his control has regained his innocence.
Garry Marshall's preference for Julia Roberts, and even a kind of pampering from an elder to a younger generation, may be due to his lack of success in film and television dramas for many years, and his joy in suddenly finding the best actress to take photos.
…
"Everyone, everyone knows Ronald. He is welcome to the set..." After the break, Garry Marshall dragged Ronald to the set to say a few words to everyone to increase their confidence.
"Gary asked me to come and see the on-set shooting and said that he had never filmed such an excellent romantic drama. To be honest, I didn't believe it. I have also filmed love themes, but when I got to the set, I found that it was really the case. Julia, Richard
, you are all the best partners, I want to apply for bonuses to the casting director and Gary...
Your lighting, photography, sound recording...each team is the most outstanding crew I have ever seen...
Okay, don’t say much, otherwise Gary will protest that I took away his microphone for too long..."
Ronald's compliments really made the staff happy. Such praise from a great director can be included in resumes in the future... and the various delicacies Ronald sent today are really the best in the eyes of the staff.
's producer.
Julia Roberts looked at Ronald with tears in her eyes. Her agent told herself that Disney might have criticized her for delaying her filming schedule, but she didn't expect that Ronald came to support her this time.
…
"Ouch...", she was so moved that she almost cried, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Last time on the set of "Steel Magnolias", it was Ronald who stood up for himself in front of the annoying director Herbert Ross...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to repay Ronald's appreciation, Julia Roberts worked harder and harder on the set. As can be imagined, the actress who is so close to her true performance, the harder she works, the closer she is to relaxing.
It's far away, but it can't be acted out anyway.
"Cut!" Garry Marshall stepped forward to explain, "Relax, relax, this is a very simple scene. Although Vivian is a street girl, she still has the innocence of a normal girl in her heart, so seeing the old-fashioned
Comedy TV series, but also laughs like a little girl..."
"Okay, I will definitely work hard..."
"Don't work hard, just be yourself..."
"Well, I will definitely not work hard..."
"Hey, feel it..."
"Action!" Garry Marshall feels that directing the two male and female protagonists is an art of waiting. When the two of them are stopped enough times, they will naturally forget the key points of acting and return to their normal nature.
Starring, then it is a performance that can be used, and it will be excellent. Originally, two handsome guys and beautiful women, naturally falling in love on the screen, is also very eye-catching, but I am afraid that they will try too hard to perform...
"Cut!"
"Director...I..." Julia Roberts became nervous again.
But this time it's not her problem.
"Richard, you don't need to perform too much, just respond to Julia's movements and behavior normally..."
"But I think that at this time, when Lewis saw Vivian laughing innocently at the 'old-fashioned comedy', he would think of his previous girlfriends. They all graduated from prestigious schools and had high IQs, but they lacked this kind of letting go.
His ability to relax..."
Don't be afraid that bad actors won't be able to act, just be afraid that they will start acting seriously.
Ronald looked on and almost laughed out loud, so he had to lower his head and turn around to get the thermos cup to cover up.
In fact, Richard Gere's role in "Pretty Woman" is very similar to Harrison Ford's in "Working Girl". Their role is to give the heroine, the center of the drama, a love interest.
effect.
In other words, this kind of movie can be seen as being shot from the psychological perspective of the heroine. The audience's hearts rise and fall for the heroine, worry about their fate, and look forward to the ending of their relationship with the hero...
As for the male protagonist, he is actually positioned similar to the heroine in traditional Hollywood romantic dramas...a tall and delicate vase.
Sure enough, Garry Marshall pulled Richard Gere aside and wanted to tell him the truth. This famous handsome guy with mediocre acting skills has much better results if he doesn't work hard than if he works hard.
However, he seemed to have not figured out his situation and was still arguing with Garry Marshall about the method of performing. Garry Marshall had to look back at Ronald and asked him to come over and help...
"Ahem... Richard, you did a good job, but what Gary was talking about was on another level. I am an outsider, and maybe I have seen some situations from an outsider's perspective..."
"Please say..." Richard Gere felt that it might be better to have someone communicate with him from another angle, so he made a gesture to Ronald to say please.
"Ahem... let's put it this way, there are two protagonists in this movie. One is proactive when faced with choices, and the other is passive. Which one do you think you are playing?"
This is the most interesting part of "Beautiful Woman". The male protagonist Lewis is a Wall Street tycoon, while the female protagonist Vivian is just a low-level street girl. But every time we encounter a problem, Lewis is often the one who is conservative, silent, and waiting.
The one who plays the opponent's cards, while Vivian is the one who is brave, takes the initiative, and uses her enthusiasm to improve the situation...
The psychological dynamics of their two characters, and their social status, are actually exactly the opposite...
"Daxmn it, no one can explain it more thoroughly than you..." Richard Gere woke up from a dream, and he understood the dramatic tension designed by screenwriter Lawton.
"I understand, please let me give another one. I have already thought about how to act..." People like Richard Gere rely on intuition and analyze over and over again. A simple question made them understand.
.
Garry Marshall secretly gave Ronald a thumbs up, or do you know how to teach actors...
Ronald smiled, Garry Marshall still worked less with stars and lacked experience. In fact, this is still the same old Hollywood formula. The bottom class is passionate and righteous, while the top class is corrupt and degenerate. Often, after the top class saves the bottom class on the material level, it needs help on the psychological level.
The bottom comes to the rescue.
However, for creatures like celebrities, they need to use simple terms that they can understand to let them figure it out.
Soon, the filming of this section went smoothly. Richard Gere concentrated on playing the role of a handsome man who takes everything slowly, showing a charming but meaningless smile from time to time. Julia Roberts liked this feeling very much, she
His personal charm also naturally spread out, and the chemical reaction made the atmosphere of the scene seem to have a sour smell beginning to pervade.
Just when everyone felt that Ronald had brought a new rapport to the crew, one of Richard Gere's hairstylists sneaked out of the studio, quickly ran to a phone booth, and dialed a phone number.
"Hey, Cindy? The situation is not good. A handsome guy named Ronald came to the crew today. As soon as he came, it seems that your Richard became very competitive and had to work hard. The scenes shot today,
Julia smiled ambiguously and opened her mouth wide..."
"This Bichi..., I'll be there right away..." An American girl roared from the other end of the phone...
When the hairstylist returned to the studio, he found that the last shot had passed. Then he started shooting a shot from Julia Roberts' perspective. She was wearing a blonde wig and sexy clothes, sitting on the carpet and looking at
On the TV, a rerun of the old comedy "I Love Lucy" plays.

people's memories.
The plot of this paragraph is that Vivian comes from a small place and has not watched this comedy very much. She laughed out loud at the childish and old plots in it. It is time for her to serve Lewis, but she is still interested in it.
Lingering in front of the TV...
"Hahaha……"
"Cut!" Garry Marshall called out. The laugh was not loud and enthusiastic enough. Vivian was the kind of girl who had never seen the world, so much so that she even wanted to finish the comedy when she was facing the sponsor.
After Garry Marshall finished explaining it, it was retaken several times, but it was still not ideal. Although Julia Roberts is a Southern girl, this old-fashioned comedy from the 1950s could not make her laugh hysterically.
"Cut!"
After trying several times, Garry Marshall's head almost got big. This was a live recording, so there was no way to replace the comedy scenes on the TV. At this time, some acting skills were needed. There was no way he could just act in his true colors...
He cast a look at Ronald for help again.
"Hey, this girl is so stupid." Ronald recalled a past incident... There was also a stupid girl who couldn't act out the feeling during the filming of the sex scene. In the end, he pinched her toes so that she was still a virgin.
She performed a very good passionate scene.
"Huh?" Ronald suddenly noticed that the surroundings were very quiet. When he came back to his senses, he found that the entire crew was looking at him, and over there was Garry Marshall looking for help.
"Hey...I have an idea..."
After such an explanation, Garry Marshall looked at Ronald looking up and down for a while, this trick was really interesting.
He went over and asked Julia Roberts to sit down again, this time stretching one foot out of the viewfinder.
"Action!" The director lying at her feet gave the order to start shooting. When the "I Love Lucy" scenes started to appear on the TV again, he started to tickle the soles of Julia Roberts' feet...
"Kekeke...hahahaha..."
This time, Vivian's smile finally met the requirements.
Ronald suddenly felt a little unmotivated. Looking at this scene, what he saw was that when he was filming "Endless Love", director Franco Zeffirelli asked him to pinch Brooke Shields' feet.
Picture of fingers.
Brooke's face is so beautiful, and her expression is so similar to the expression after passion. It gradually overlaps with the scene of the two of them at Princeton University...
Ronald didn't want to stay on the set anymore. He didn't say hello to anyone, and walked out alone. A gust of autumn wind blew outside, and the air on the West Coast was full of temperature. It was still different from Princeton back then...
He gradually woke up from his memories. Ronald shook his head. His and Diane's child would be born next spring.
Suddenly, another tall girl flashed across the street. She was also wearing very high-quality clothes and had long flowing hair. She was walking towards her quickly. Her walking posture also looked like a stage model...
Ronald suddenly had a hallucination, thinking that it was Brooke who came to the set...
But when I looked closer, I saw that this girl had blond hair...
"Cindy, what are you doing here?"
The visitor is Cindy Crawford...
"Ah, Ronald..." Cindy Crawford was also startled, and then she toughened up and pushed out her chest, "Didn't you promise me that I can come to visit the crew at any time?"
