Chapter 599 The actor's epiphany (4000+ chapters~)
Wu Jianye opened the door to the apartment and was surprised to find that the lights were a little dim, while Li Xiuming was sitting alone on the sofa with her knees in her arms. When she took a closer look, she found that her expression was also a little complicated.
"What happened?" Wu Jianye squatted in front of Li Xiuming with concern and asked gently.
Li Xiuming raised his head and looked at Wu Jianye, and said with a complicated expression: "I'm pregnant!"
Wu Jianye was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression: "When did it happen?"
Li Xiu Ming said: "Just when you came here last time..."
"Haha, that's a good thing. Why do you look like this?" Wu Jianye laughed first and then asked.
Li Xiuming: "I just don't know what's wrong with me. I originally thought I wouldn't have children from now on, but now the child suddenly came..."
Looking at Li Xiuming's expression, Wu Jianye knew that she still had some worries in her heart. After all, Li Xiuming was already 35 years old at this time and could be considered an advanced maternal age. In addition, there was no formal relationship with Wu Jianye.
Relationship, naturally I am a little worried!
Wu Jianye comforted him: "Don't think too much, just have a good rest from today on and put other things aside first." After saying that, Wu Jianye stood up, rubbed his hands excitedly, and then suddenly said: "New York
You can't stay any longer. Although I am also filming in New York now, I don't have much time to come back. I don't worry about you living in the apartment by yourself. Let's do this. I will arrange for someone to take you to Los Angeles tomorrow.
I have bought a villa and have a dedicated servant, so I can rest assured that you will be there when the time comes."
"The filming time in New York will not be too long. The filming here will be completed in about 14 weeks, and then the crew will move to Los Angeles!"
Seeing Wu Jianye arranging everything, Li Xiuming finally showed a happy smile on her face. After all, she still didn't have much confidence in herself.
She was able to get together with Wu Jianye because of her unfair reputation. In addition, Wu Jianye's career is getting bigger and bigger now. She is worried that Wu Jianye will not let her have this child. Now that she sees Wu Jianye
I was so happy that the big stone in my heart finally fell away.
"Are you not angry?" Li Xiuming took Wu Jianye's hand and asked him to sit next to him.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's too late to be happy, how can you be angry? This matter has been settled. When you arrive in Los Angeles, I will arrange for two nannies to take care of your daily life 24 hours a day.
By the way, there’s also…”
Seeing Wu Jianye arranging everything, Li Xiuming finally showed a happy and sweet smile on his face.
Naturally, the two of them would not do anything tonight, but Li Xiuming, who had already let go of his heavy heart, still hugged Wu Jianye and talked to him about what was in his heart and his longing for the future.
For example, the name of the child and whether his future education will be in the United States or in China. The arrival of the child has disrupted almost all Li Xiuming's previous arrangements.
Originally, she thought she would finish her studies this year and return to China at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, but now that she is pregnant with her child, Li Xiuming did not dare to make any fuss. She wanted to make arrangements for her future affairs after giving birth to her child in the United States.
Li Xiuming wanted to talk about this topic, and Wu Jianye naturally chatted with her. However, Wu Jianye also had his own requirements. If Li Xiuming wanted this child to receive education in North America, he must return to China during the winter and summer vacations.
Domestic education.
Wu Jianye does not want his future child to be a person who speaks English and cannot even speak Mandarin.
Li Xiuming was in a very good mood at this time, but considering that she had only been pregnant for a month, which was the most dangerous time, Wu Jianye naturally did not chat with her all night and put her to bed early.
The next day, Wu Jianye came to the set. Zhao Fei, who was familiar with Wu Jianye, saw the smile on his face and asked curiously: "What happened? You are so happy!"
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I won't tell you!"
Zhao Fei rolled his eyes at Wu Jianye and did not continue to ask. Following Wu Jianye's order, the crew began today's filming.
Later, Wu Jianye discovered that Mel Gibson's performance was indeed better than the previous two days, but it didn't matter how good it was. It was still a good performance.
However, Wu Jianye's mood today was obviously different from the previous two days, so even if there were problems with an actor's performance, Wu Jianye did not reprimand him.
Two days were enough for the crew to understand what kind of director Wu Jianye was, but today's performance clearly made them feel that Wu Jianye was different from the past.
Although everyone was curious, they all understood that this was Wu Jianye's private matter, so no one would ask like Zhao Fei.
The atmosphere of the crew's filming this morning was very good, and the filming went very smoothly. During the lunch break, Wu Jianye returned to the apartment. Li Xiuming was about to fly to Los Angeles, so Wu Jianye naturally had to take her to the airport in person.
A bodyguard helped Li Xiuming carry his luggage and walked out of the apartment door. After getting into the car, Wu Jianye asked the driver to drive straight to the airport.
After everyone arrived at the airport, Wu Jianye asked again: "Someone will pick you up after you get off the plane. The housekeeper in Los Angeles has also found a few nannies to take care of you. You can choose by yourself when the time comes.
Just tell them to do things!"
Li Xiuming nodded. There was no trace of worry on her face at this time. She smiled and said: "I know, you are so verbose!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Why don't I feel that way?"
The two chatted for a while at the airport. The airport started to check in. After sending Li Xiu Ming off, Wu Jianye returned to the crew without stopping and started filming this afternoon.

After Wu Jianye stopped filming, he walked up to Tony Godwin and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you now?"
Tony Godwin was slightly startled, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. The shot he had just stopped had been stopped four or five times, and every time it was him who had problems, which made Tony Godwin look a little panicked.
"Karl!"
Wu Jianye nodded, then called Isabel Adjani over, pointed at Isabel Adjani and continued to ask Tony Godwin, "Is she beautiful?"
Regarding Wu Jianye's sudden inquiry, everyone on the set seemed a little confused, but no one said anything. Even Isabel Adjani just stood there with her hands folded and cool.
Tony Godwin was a little worried and didn't know how to answer.
However, Wu Jianye did not let him go and asked again: "Let me ask you, is she beautiful?"
At this time, Tony Godwin nodded carefully and said: "Beautiful!"
Wu Jianye continued to ask: "Then do you like her?"
As Wu Jianye asked this question, Isabel Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg, who was watching from the side, showed understanding expressions at the same time, and then looked at Wu Jianye with appreciative eyes.
But Tony Godwin was confused at this time and did not understand what Wu Jianye meant. After all, the relationship between Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani was almost public. If he said that he liked her, wouldn't he be seeking death?
"No...not like it!" said Tony Godwin.
There was a hint of disappointment on the faces of Isabelle Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg.
Wu Jianye also showed an ugly expression at this time and said: "No, you should like her!"
Tony Godwin looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, still not understanding what Wu Jianye meant.
"I'll ask you again, who are you now?" Wu Jianye's tone was already a little impatient.
Tony Godwin preached: "Carl!"
"What about her?" Wu Jianye pointed at Isabel Adjani and asked.
"Isabel...no." At this moment, Tony Godwin suddenly had an idea and said quickly: "She is Molly, yes, I should like her, no, it is a secret love, and this secret love
There should be a hint of possessiveness in it.”
Wu Jianye saw that Tony Godwin was enlightened, and then he showed a satisfied smile and said: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes, and we will continue filming in five minutes!"
Tony Godwin nodded and said: "I understand Director Wu!"
Although Carl and Sam are very good friends in the movie, Carl is actually very envious of everything about Sam. Sam is his boss at work, and in life, Sam has a girlfriend whom he admires.
.
Before, Wu Jianye asked him if he liked Isabel Adjani. In fact, he was asking him if Karl liked Molly. Karl liked Molly, but this kind of liking was not a normal love between men and women, but Karl's envy of Sam.
Everything, in this twisted envy, made him develop a twisted liking and possessiveness towards Molly!
This is why after Sam died, Carl would think about something happening with Molly.
Although Tony Godwin performed well before, he could not perfectly reflect such details. Wu Jianye never told him the reason before, hoping that he could figure it out on his own, but now it seems that Tony
Goldwyn is still a bit far from the kind of actor with top acting talent.
Helpless, Wu Jianye had no choice but to point out Tony Godwin's problem in person, but this method of pointing out the problem still hoped to make him realize part of it.
In fact, the actor's profession also requires epiphany, just like online writers writing online articles. Sometimes an actor's acting skills suddenly experience explosive growth, which means he suddenly has an epiphany at a certain moment.
Take Wu Bo for example. In fact, Wu Bo entered the entertainment industry very early. If you watch his performances, you will find that his performances before he became famous were not very outstanding. However, something happened in the middle that made him famous.
His acting skills have grown exponentially.
And this incident actually happened when he and his noble lady Liu Bei were filming a hospital scene. At that time, Wu Bo was sitting by the hospital bed and talking to Liu Bei. It just so happened that that line perfectly fit the story between the two. That
Wu Bo's sincere gratitude shocked everyone on stage and behind the scenes. Liu Bei's husband at the time was also the director of that drama. After filming that scene, he directly told Wu Bo that this is how the performance should be.
Later, Wu Bo's performance truly entered another realm. With his accumulated experience, he also had a wonderful performance in "Before Dawn" and finally became a handsome national uncle.
It's a pity that I was tricked by capital in the end...
Now in the process of directing, Wu Jianye also consciously or unconsciously wants to let the actors understand these things themselves and achieve self-breakthrough.
It's a pity that actors in this category are those who are rewarded by God. Those who can understand on their own will naturally have smooth sailing in their future acting careers. If they can't understand on their own and still want to hang out in this circle, then just
Have to find another way.
Whoopi Goldberg was sitting on one side with exaggerated black pigtails on her head. She looked at Tony Goldwin who was sitting next to him and was enlightening himself. Then he turned to look at Wu Jianye who was looking at the storyboards, his face
with a satisfied expression on his face.
When she took on this film, Whoopi Goldberg naturally wanted to make some breakthrough in literature and art. After all, after "The Color Purple" was nominated for an Oscar, she has not had a good work. This time in "Super"
I chose this film between "Partners" and "The Love of Ghosts" because I also took a fancy to Wu Jianye's accomplishments in literary films.
Although everyone says that Wu Jianye cannot make a romance film that meets the mainstream appreciation of American audiences, Wu Jianye's performance at the three major European film festivals is enough to make people who are interested in winning awards movies appreciate him.
Feeling confident.
To put it bluntly, Whoopi Goldberg and Mel Gibson had similar ideas in choosing this movie.
Mel Gibson wants to use the influence of Wu Jianye and Isabelle Adjani in Europe to expand his box office appeal in Europe.
Whoopi Goldberg, on the other hand, valued Wu Jianye's ability in European film festivals. Due to image problems, it was impossible for Whoopi Goldberg to become a first-line female movie star in Hollywood, but if she could become one in the literary film market
With a certain appeal, her salary can also be increased by part.
At this time, when the movie was officially being shot, Wu Jianye's ability to control the actors' acting skills and the control of the scene showed by Wu Jianye today made Whoopi Goldberg truly feel Wu Jianye's directorial ability.
That is to say, Whoopi Goldberg has a clear understanding of her appearance, otherwise she would want to go to Wu Jianye to discuss the script at night...
Five minutes passed quickly, and the next Tony Godwin's performance reached a new level again. His eyes slightly glanced at Isabel Adjani, his eyes hiding love and greedy possessiveness.
Click!
But even so, Wu Jianye still stopped him.
"It's already very good, but it still lacks some subtle movements to bring out Karl's inner inferiority!" Wu Jianye continued.
At this time, Sam was still alive, and Carl seemed to be living in Sam's shadow, so even though he had thousands of thoughts in his heart, he still felt inferior!
