Stacey said some insignificant nonsense to Mike, and the two met their eyes, confirming their affection for each other. Mike tilted his head and kissed Stacey's lips slowly.
Then the two slowly pulled apart, and Mike looked at Stacey and said, "You kiss very well."
"Really?" Stacey chuckled, "You too." She had only kissed the stereo salesman from the pizza shop before.
"Why don't you take off your clothes?" Stacey prompted when seeing that the other party did not take any further action.
"You first." Mike's eyes were a little dodgey.
Stacey looked Mike up and down, then smiled and said softly, "The two of us together."
Jennifer Jason Leigh was well prepared for this scene. She played Stacey's courage to take the initiative after seeing the boy she likes, and her mentality of not wanting to appear too proactive after discovering that Mike actually lacks experience.
very good.
Romanus also played out the mentality of a child from a poor family who loves to brag and pick up girls, but has never had a real girlfriend.
The camera panned to Jennifer Jason Leigh as she slowly took off her green vest.
"cut!"
Ronald called a stop, and then the second assistant director quickly stepped forward and put the bathrobe on Jennifer.
"Very good, Jennifer, you acted very well." Ronald gave all kinds of compliments for free, and also handed him a cup of honey water prepared in advance. The sugar in honey is easy to absorb, which helps the actor feel comforted.
Keep your mood stable.
"Take a rest, and when you feel ready, we'll do it again."
Ronald is well prepared to deal with young actresses. For an actress like Jennifer who is mentally prepared to devote herself to art, he only needs to keep praising her and making her feel good.
Jennifer Jason Leigh took various safety measures in advance. The makeup artist patched up her outfit, and she lay down on the sofa after putting on safety pants.
Romanus, who played Mike, also put on his safety pants. He looked at Jennifer on the sofa and lowered his eyes, "Wait a minute, put my knees here and rest my hands here, right?"
He was also a little nervous because it was the first time for everyone to film such a scene.
Ronald didn't speak. His current mental state is very close to the character's mentality, which is a good coincidence.
"action!"
Romanus was still too nervous and pressed Jennifer's hair.
Jennifer shook her head and it hurt.
Jennifer picked up her hand and hit Romanus's hand several times, making him raise his arm and let the golden necklace sway on his chest.
This little accident turned out to have a very good effect.
"cut!"
Ronald and the assistant director hurriedly brought bathrobes for the two actors to wear. Heikelin took the honey water.
Jennifer looked at Ronald, as if she wanted to get feedback from the director.
"You performed very well. I think the young audience will fully recognize your acting skills."
Ronald immediately gave his affirmation. It was obviously not appropriate to praise other things at this time, so he had to give more affirmation to his acting skills.
Sure enough, Jennifer Jason Leigh seemed to have let go of her worries and became more involved in the subsequent filming.
The scene, which tested Ronald's ability as a directing actor the most, was filmed smoothly.
The subsequent scenes were shot in borrowed locations, and the staff came in to take over their respective tasks.
Jennifer was wearing a swimsuit. She put another pair of prop swimming trunks on to her knees, and then the camera filmed her below the knees.
The swimming trunks fall to the ground under the influence of gravity.
"cut"
Ronald then used editing to let the audience's imagination help him tell the story.
The next day, the camera crew moved the camera outside to film Stacey and Linda's scene in the swimming pool.
Jennifer Jason Leigh was still wearing a green tank top and swimming shorts, lying by the pool to soak up the sun. Her long blond hair fell down, and it looked very bright when the sun shone on it.
Phoebe Cates was wearing a red bikini, covering her eyes with a towel, lying flat on her back and sunbathing. Her hair was very dark, only slightly brown in the sun.
The photography team set up an arc-shaped guide rail by the swimming pool. The camera moved on the guide rail, rotating around the two beautiful girls, and shot a shot.
"cut!"
After Ronald confirmed the quality of the filming, he ordered the preparation of special shots of Phoebe Cates.
Today's clearance scene is outdoors, but there is only one shot.
"With yesterday's experience, today's shooting will definitely go smoothly." Ronald thought to himself.
The hairstylist tied up Phoebe Cates' shawl hair and tied it into a ponytail at the back of her head. The makeup artist came over and applied waterproof red lipstick.
The camera moved to a backlit position facing away from the sun, facing a handrail of the swimming pool.
The two nozzles of the prop group were connected to the leather pipes, connected to the tap water, and the switch was turned on to spray into the sky.
"How about this amount of water? Director?"
Ronald walked into the artificial drizzle, "It should be smaller. I want the raindrops to float in the air instead of falling directly."
"It can't be done, boss." The props turned off the switch to the smallest amount that could spray, but the raindrops were still not small enough.
Ronald stretched out his hand to feel it. The feeling of water droplets hitting his hand was still a bit heavy.
"You guys shake it with your hands to create a floating effect." Ronald instructed the prop.
"Okay, that's it. Hey..." The prop shook the nozzle, and water droplets fell on Ronald's head.
"If you spray a little bit behind the actors, people will still close their eyes reflexively when sprayed." Ronald directed the props to spray backwards.
"How was it?" Ronald asked the director of photography Matthew.
"Okay, come and take a look."
"Stand here for a while." Ronald pulled Cameron Crowe to stand in his place, then ran behind the camera and looked into the viewfinder. Crowe was standing in the sun, and the rain started falling behind him.
It was drizzling, very beautiful.
"Very good, get ready to shoot. Clear the scene. Unrelated personnel please leave the scene."
The staff at the scene was quickly reduced to a minimum. Ronald found that Phoebe Cates had not appeared yet, "Is your hair style ready?"
"Okay, director, Phoebe is a little worried." The fat female hairstylist came over and told Ronald.
"Are you concerned?" Ronald asked Heikelin and the second assistant director to go find Phoebe.
"I'm worried that after this shot is taken, the audience will think that I am just a vase."
"Hey!" Ronald sighed in his heart. Sure enough, actresses always have various psychological obstacles when filming such scenes. Jennifer Jason Leigh spent a long time thinking about it when negotiating the contract, and
Interference from father Vic Morrow.
However, after she thought about it clearly, she didn't shrink back during the filming.
When Phoebe Cates signed the contract, she got the approval of her family and didn't think twice about it. But on the eve of filming, she still had concerns.
"No, this section is a test of your acting skills. This scene is actually Brad's fantasy. The Linda in the fantasy and the real Linda are two people. The audience can obviously distinguish the difference between the two characters. They
I can only admire your acting skills."
Phoebe Cates nodded, thinking what the director said made sense.
She plucked up the courage and walked to the pool, "I'm still a little worried. This scene was not shot indoors like Jennifer's. This is an outdoor swimming pool. What if there are neighbors at home using binoculars to peek? Can it be changed to an indoor swimming pool?
Scenes?"
"The shooting schedule is so tight, where can I find an indoor swimming pool for you?" Ronald complained secretly in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend that everything was under control, and was about to comfort Phoebe.
"You're overthinking, Phoebe," Heckerling advised. "After the movie is made, you will be seen by millions of viewers on the screen. Why are you afraid of neighbors peeping?"
Ronald frowned. This was true, but speaking to 18-year-old Phoebe, he was afraid of the opposite effect.
Fortunately, Phoebe didn't think so much, nodded and strengthened her belief.
"Get ready." Ronald gestured to the props to release water to make rain.
"Director, I'm still a little worried. After all, millions of people want to see my camera." Phoebe Cates hesitated again before coming on stage.
"Do you believe me? Phoebe." Ronald stopped the rain-making props and looked at Phoebe sincerely.
"I believe you, Ronald."
"This is a beautiful scene. The photographer will shoot you very beautifully. This is a specially designed scene in the movie, which uses your beauty to attract the audience."
Phoebe nodded and looked a little better.
"If you really don't want to, we can omit the last step. But I don't want to lie to you. Your chances of becoming famous will be much smaller."
"Is that so?" Phoebe bit her lip and was about to make up her mind.
"Don't worry Phoebe, the scene on the screen is only less than two seconds, they won't remember it, wisdom remembers that you are beautiful." Heikelin encouraged beside her.
"Actually, not necessarily." Ronald thought of the scene in his dream. The crucial two seconds of this scene could not be played. Thinking about it now, it is very likely that the movie was made into a VHS tape and was repeatedly paused and rewinded.
As for this section being degaussed, it turned white and skipped when I watched it.
All in all, many people will definitely watch it again and again.
"Director, is that so?" Phoebe looked at Ronald.
Ronald did not answer the question, but said:
"Phoebe, do you remember what you said when you came to the audition?"
"When I come to the audition?"
"Yes, I remember you said that this kind of scene should have artistic beauty, and don't be like your first movie 'Paradise', where you edited the scene with the double in order to achieve a vulgar effect."
"Yes, I remember." Phoebe smiled.
"As long as the shots are artistic and beautiful, after many years, the only thing that will remain in the hearts of the audience is that beautiful memory."
Phoebe was convinced by Ronald, or rather by her original intention. She wanted to be remembered by the audience and become a star.
"action!"
The camera focuses on the swimming pool.
Linda, played by Phoebe Cates, wore a red swimsuit and emerged from the water. The golden sunlight shone on her black hair, like a beautiful dream.
There are two dimples on her sweet face, and her eyes are looking at the camera, as if the lover in her dream is talking to the audience outside the camera.
"Hey Brad, I've always thought you were handsome."
The camera moves back as Phoebe grabs the handrail and climbs into the pool.
Phoebe walked slowly towards the camera, with the sun and rain falling behind her. In a dreamlike scene, Phoebe looked at the camera as if she were looking at her lover, and put her hands on her bikini top on her chest.
.
With a "pop" sound, she unbuttoned the button.
"cut!"
Wearing the bathrobe that Ronald put on her, Phoebe covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground and sobbed twice. The great psychological pressure was finally released with this cut.
Phoebe quickly adjusted her mood, stood up and asked Ronald, "How was my performance?"
"You can call yourself a professional actor, Phoebe." Ronald gave her a thumbs up, "The audience will definitely like you and remember you."
"Thanks."
"How was my performance?" Phoebe went to the director of photography and Heckerling to ask about her performance.
She is now in a state of eagerly wanting to know her performance, asking for feedback from everywhere, and eager to see the developed samples immediately.
"How did I do?" Phoebe Cates asked Cameron Crowe again.
"You're in shape for a model, Phoebe."
"Hmph!" Phoebe turned around and left Crowe behind. "I'm asking about my acting skills. He only pays attention to my figure, or does Ronald understand me?"
