Finally filming! Emma was very excited. She agreed to make this guest appearance at the end of June last year. She was greatly inspired by VIY that day, and his words are still engraved in her heart:
You must see the essence of things clearly, enjoy the fun of performing, work hard to achieve results, and create an image different from your aunt, a name of your own! Emmarvel, embarrass, and go to hell with all your naysayers!
In the busy restaurant set, opposite the main dining table, makeup artist Sandy Cooper, assistant makeup artist Nicole Sotillon and others were applying makeup on her. Ye Wei also stood beside her, encouraging her: "Don't be nervous. , just a few simple shots, I know these are not difficult for you, just perform as you are."
Maurer and the others were resetting the camera position, and the left side of the aisle was facing the dining tables on both sides. Ye Wei finally chose the second option, which not only allowed Emma to be seen clearly in more shots, but also highlighted the weirdness of the family (mainly Richard), just like what he had told Roberts at the beginning.
At this time, Julia Roberts, who was sitting at the big dining table opposite, was paying close attention, but she didn¡¯t say anything, and there was no reason to say anything. Leave it to the prodigy.
"Perform well." After Ye Wei said that, he walked away and went to the opposite table to talk about the drama.
"Hey, don't you have any requirements for me?" Emma asked quickly, blinking her combed eyelashes, not wanting to just go through the motions, but it didn't seem to be difficult.
Over there, Roberts suddenly smiled, and gave a helpless look to Hanks and others around him, saying, "My niece just loves to be strong," and everyone smiled.
"Oh?" Ye Wei raised her eyebrows. What could she ask for? In the first shot of this camera, she sat drinking coffee and reading a book, and did a few subtle physical performances. The focus of the performance was on Richard's family. After that, she Only when she gets up and walks around to say her lines, her close-ups and medium and close shots can lead to a performance.
However, he still said "strictly": "Yes, according to Stanislavsky's theory, I require you to perform the true and correct emotions in your heart. This requires you to truly believe that the drama can actually happen; I also want you to do " "Empty Space" talks about perception, okay?"
"Umok." Emma was a little stunned. Roberts, Hanks and others laughed, and the offline staff could also smile. VIY can be very teasing sometimes.
"Just perform in your true colors, really, I won't lie to you." Ye Wei also smiled, not wanting her to think too much, which would lead to a poor performance.
"Hmm." Emma didn't say much at this time. She felt so sweet when she said "I won't lie to you."
Soon, the word "FIRE" was heard again in the restaurant. The actors each performed their own roles, and the extras "talked" without making any sound. Hanks talked to Abigail in a low voice about whether the little girl opposite wanted to eat ice cream. , Roberts persuaded him angrily, Akin said "Girls are more beautiful if they have some flesh" for being disrespectful to the old man, Ross and Dano were strangely silent.
Emma over there acted with a calm expression, as if she hadn¡¯t heard anything. Although she couldn¡¯t take a clear picture, her eyes turned slightly, she turned over a page of the book on the table, raised her coffee cup and took a sip.
That book is not just a random book or magazine. When taking a medium shot of her, when she closes the book and stands up, the cover of the book will clearly come into view: "Ulysses" by James Joyce.
James Joyce, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, was the pioneer of stream of consciousness. He spent most of his life on the move, suffering from poverty and illness. If divided according to success and failure, he is the same as another stream of consciousness master Marcel Proust ("Frank" He is a scholar of Proust and calls himself the most powerful in America) and is a huge loser. But his "Ulysses" is a masterpiece of stream-of-consciousness novels, and is even hailed as the greatest English novel of the 20th century.
Joyce once said a famous saying, "We should face success and failure calmly, it is just a symbol that deceives the world."
There are many people who have said similar words, but this sentence is one of the souls of "Little Miss Sunshine". Joyce and "Ulysses" can better illustrate and highlight this theme.
The situation and actions of Richard's family are like Joyce's life, far away from home and failing one after another. Joyce is calm. They only have grandpa at the moment, but what they care about in general is the appearance of fatness, while the literary girl cares about It is spiritual consciousness.
The soul is the answer. At the end of the story, they did not go home, but went to eat ice cream. Why? Because that "home" with heavy mortgage pressure is not really a home. Any house is not the true meaning of life, but a game of fame and fortune in this world. part of.
The real home is where the whole family happily gathers around to eat ice cream, away from the fame and fortune fair, and relaxing in the garden of the soul. That is the true meaning of life.
Therefore, every detail of Ma¡¯s character is a topic. Of course, such profound details,Every audience will appreciate it, but without these details, there would be no literary classic.
"CUT! Very good, one guarantee."
Today¡¯s shooting went really smoothly. The camera shot from this position quickly captured the last shot, which was the main shot. Emma got up and left, walking to the opposite side to talk.
Although there is no need to change the camera position, because there are lines and performances, it requires rehearsal. If you shoot digitally, you can shoot it directly, and you can also shoot it in a pseudo-documentary style with daily performance, but LMS cannot. Every time you shoot with film, you will lose money and more time - change the film, it is best to rehearse.
It was just like the official shooting, except that the machine was not turned on. After the fat waiter who paid the bill walked away, Emma closed the book, stood up and walked straight to the table opposite, smiling: "Excuse me, I heard your conversation, I am Ai. Milly." While everyone was astonished, she told Oliver seriously: "Others don't know the delicious taste when we eat ice cream, but we know it. Personally, I think the best ice cream here is chocolate."
Frontal shots of six people have been taken before, and they will be interspersed during editing so that the audience can clearly see the reactions of each of them. The three grandfathers were surprised and agreed, Oliver smiled, and Cheryl also smiled. But Richard was dumbfounded, and then Oliver started eating the ice cream, and everyone wanted to fight for it, but he was helpless and unhappy.
While Oliver was eating ice cream, through the glass window behind her, he could see Emma walking on the street outside.
After saying this, Emma pursed her lips and smiled again, turned around and left. If it weren't for the rehearsal, the camera would be filming her in motion as she walks out of the restaurant door.
"CUT." Ye Wei stopped, but shook his head: "Emma, ??Nian Bai's emotions are not good enough." Emma came over to hear what he had to say, "What should I do?"
Roberts was a little nervous. These lines were so important, and the setting of the scene was also very interesting, and it was easy to impress the audience. If Emma plays well and the LMS becomes a big success, this cadenza can make her famous.
Hanks, Arkin and Ross were curious, and Abigail and Dano couldn't figure it out. In their opinion, Emma's performance was very good. Her speech was clear and her emotions were precise. How could it not be good enough?
"You are too serious, relax." Ye Wei spoke softly to express the feeling he wanted.
¡°It turns out that ¡°not good enough¡± was a polite word, but actually it¡¯s the emotion is wrong? Emma couldn't help but frown, slightly showing the wrinkles on her forehead, "Shouldn't we be serious? Richard has one attitude, and she has another attitude. She told everyone seriously. Isn't that the case?"
"Don't think about who is right and who is wrong. There is no such thing." Ye Wei explained to her that this girl has always been very smart and good at sensing the emotions of stories. He could understand it through normal reading and communication, but she was not transparent enough. " Don¡¯t think about winning or losing. You don¡¯t fight. You understand people who are trapped in fame and fortune. You are calm, kind and heart-warming. Do you understand?¡±
Listening to this, Emma suddenly let out a sigh and vaguely understood, "A person from outside the world! This should be like this"
Roberts, Hanks and others who could also hear it all expressed their doubts, but Abigail did not understand the subtle difference. Roberts is naturally happy, this is sweet sunshine!
"I didn't say anything, you thought of it yourself." Ye Wei laughed gently, which stimulated her emotions, "Try it again?"
"Okay." Emma walked back and performed again. This time she smiled the whole time and lost the serious and competitive feeling just now.
However, Ye Wei shook his head again and said to her: "I am too confident this time and a bit proud. Emma, ??relax, like a cloud! You are like old friends to the six people at this table." Right at the dining table. , he asked her to try a few more times, but it was still not good. The main problem was that she was not relaxed enough, and she was obviously anxious and went off track.
Roberts was anxious, but couldn¡¯t say anything. It's hard for anyone to say anything, this is a "private matter" between VIY and Emma.
"Sorry." Emma was anxious and annoyed with her performance. Even though she had grown up on the set, she now felt a pressure. It seemed that everyone was laughing at her and creating her own name. As a result, even the rookie Nina was Why not, how could this happen? After rehearsing for so long, these lines have become a jingle, but the emotions are not sure
"Come here with me." Ye Wei said softly. If the situation continues like this, the scene will probably be cleared. The scythe of the god of death has also glowed with cold light. He led Emma to the side and left the shooting area for a while. Everyone looked away knowingly. Come on, except Roberts.
"Try emotional substitution." He thought that he himself didn't have that kind of indisputable mentality, let alone Emma. It would really not work if a 14-year-old girl was to be like Gandhi or Joyce. But the emotional substitution works, and the audience won't know what she's thinking.
Ye Wei¡¯s soft tone like a hypnotist¡¯s,? Without massaging her temples, he said softly: "Imagine you are walking on the beach with an old friend, an old girl friend. There is friendship. You are very relaxed, chatting and laughing. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, the sky is blue, the water It¡¯s also blue, can you feel it?¡±
"A little, a little" Emma closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and relaxed herself.
"The wind blows, like kissing your cheek, the leaves of the palm trees on the seaside are swaying, the world is beautiful and peaceful." Ye Wei continued. Emma made a sound of enjoyment, and he added: "Your old friend suddenly saw something, a mobile truck selling ice cream. She asked you if you want to buy some? Of course, you think the ice cream is so delicious, why? No, you like it very much, you want to buy it, and thenyou said?"
Emma has relaxed, showing her dimples, opening her eyes, and smiling naturally: "Others won't know the deliciousness in our hearts when eating ice cream, but we ourselves know it. I personally think the best ice cream here is chocolate flavored."
"OK, let's go buy it." Ye Wei smiled with satisfaction, from his expression to his voice, it was quiet, friendly, and warm! That's it.
"Have I rehearsed?" Emma's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's over. Don't be happy yet. Keep the feeling you had just now and act like this." Ye Wei said and walked back and signaled to assistant director Jennifer Anderson to start filming immediately.
"The whole world is prepared." Jennifer spoke quietly and briefly, trying her best to maintain Emma's emotions. Of course she knew what was happening.
Roberts had already smiled too. Watching him teach Emma gently and patiently, it seemed like he could see his niece's wonderful future screen career. I thought about how wise it was to join 11 this time.
That brat is really good! But the worst case scenario is that Emma is definitely more obsessed with him, and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Soon, the sound of the clapperboard was heard on the set, followed by the gentle "FIRE".
¡¡
After Emma got the right feeling, the shooting became smooth. The main shot was passed in one shot, and then the performance of each camera position satisfied others and herself.
All her scenes were filmed in the morning, and she moved to the set in the afternoon to watch the excitement. After finishing the work, she successfully persuaded Ye Wei to take her to the cattery to see Katie. As expected, her trip to Toronto was over. The next morning, I endured a mild fear of flying and headed back to Los Angeles.
What an unforgettable day and what a rich harvest. Emma can feel that she has a deeper understanding of VIY. His charm has been completely upgraded. He is great at work and outside of work. Everything is exciting ¡like!
I¡¯m really looking forward to the release of ¡°Little Miss Sunshine¡±, I¡¯m really looking forward to the next collaboration, I¡¯m really looking forward to the next date, haha.

On the flight back on May Day, Nina lost her temper to Yunique. It was so annoying. Why did she have to play co-production games all day long? There were so many poems and movieswho would remember clearly! He thought she was angry because of Emma Roberts, but actually
I really hate the feeling that I am stupid, and I hate the feeling of "you are all smart, but I am stupid" even more. Lily Collins knows the whole sentence after hearing half of a sentence, but she is still confused after hearing the whole sentence ¡Lily Collins is smart, elegant, and generous, and she¡
¡°Hmph, why not compare in sports, football? volleyball? tennis? ski? Rhythmic gymnastics! ? What project is there for you to choose from, rope? ball? bring? Great? lock up? Personal omnipotence?
¡Can¡¯t astronomers be the ones who study aliens?
It¡¯s so annoying, it¡¯s so annoying, it¡¯s so annoying!
well! Nina didn't know who she was angry with. Yunik must think she was confused, and he must be upset, but he was still trying to coax her, what a fool! Why not get angry? He has never been angry at her. Every time he loses his temper, no matter whether it is justified or not Sometimes I really wish that he would not be so nice, then she would be more comfortable
¡°At least I won¡¯t feel guilty or uneasy when I lose my temper, nor did I before¡
<p But there are a lot of happy things recently. The box office of "The Exorcism Video" is getting better and better! Each of the five theaters sold 100,000 a week, and the media said this number was astonishing! Yunique is really a genius The outside world doesn't know that he is also VIY, some new genius, so funny.
She is also receiving more and more attention, and she has to provide information for publicity and so on. Yunik asked her what kind of sports she liked, and she told her some, but she let them all go out. She felt a little weird when she looked at them, as if she was a fool. Yunique also said it was cool, just to make people laugh, right?
??????????????????? But fame is not only good. At this level, I feel like a few of my friends have become sour
Nina initially laughed at herself for overthinking, but on Wednesday, after she finished training with the national youth team, her mother trained with herAfter a few months, I now dare to drive alone. In the evening, I go to the training hall in the player property area to visit my friends while there is still some time. When I reach the corridor outside the locker room, it is already very late and few people are still there.
"She is just lucky."
When Nina had just stepped into the dressing room and was about to say "Knock-Knock, I'm back" with a smile, she heard Fila's voice faintly coming from inside. Her tone was full of disdain: "Let me play 'Maggie' I can do it too. Those moves are not difficult at all. Which one of us can¡¯t do them? If she didn¡¯t know VIY somehow, how could she act in the movie?
"Yes." It was Susan, who always liked to speak ill of others. Her voice was louder: "I also saw publicity on the Internet that Nina showed great enthusiasm and talent for art when she was very young Ugh! I can also do rhythmic gymnastics, I can also do ballet, I can do all the things she can do, what¡¯s so great about her.¡±
"Haha." When she heard Alice's chuckle, Nina felt very uncomfortable. She had an average friendship with Phila and Susan, but she had a good friendship with Alice, but now
Alice laughed a few times, but didn't stop her. She said playfully: "I can't stand her showing off her VI, oh no, Yunique!" She then made a weird sound: "Sometimes I really don't want him to be so good. This weekend we Getting ready to go hiking. Let me show you this photo that he took of me I¡¯m really annoyed by her.¡±
"When people praised her a few times, she really regarded herself as a star." Susan said directly, "Her movie was not that great. It was only shown in one theater in Toronto."
"Let's see how long she and VIY can be together." Alice said unconvinced. Feila sneered and said: "Don't you see, VIY doesn't want to announce her relationship, so it's not just to play with her." Susan also laughed: "She likes to be played with. Don't we know her bad things? How many times have she changed?" My boyfriend is flirting with everyone, and I don¡¯t know how to seduce VIY.¡±
"Of course she posted it. There was no need to ask. She also pretended that she didn't know about VIY before. I will use this trick when I meet any celebrities in the future." Alice added.
"She is quite smart about this matter. She really doesn't look like someone who doesn't even know what A is."
"Ha ha!"
"Just watch, poor Nina, she won't always be lucky. VIY will go back to Los Angeles after filming the movie, so how will she be remembered. Do you think VIY will be short of girls? Those gossip tabloids are really ridiculous, I I am willing to date him. Then I can also act in a movie"
"I said, she is just lucky, she is not as beautiful as us."
Nina couldn¡¯t stand hearing it anymore, turned around and left with a cold face, these boring and mean people are talking bad about people behind their backs! I don't care what you say! Feel free to be jealous!
You don¡¯t know anything, you are talking nonsense! ! !
Ashamed of you, ashamed of your friends! It used to be, it won¡¯t be anymore¡
I¡¯m not just lucky, Yunik loves me! Love all of me! We are an unbeatable combination! An invincible combination where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!
Like Yunik said, revenge is the eternal tone. Use actions to prove everything. Hum As a member of the National Youth Team, I will participate in the World of Rhythmic Gymnastics held in Pilsen, Czech Republic from the 27th to the 29th of this month. Youth Championship! Just watch. Although the strength of the Canadian team is difficult to compare with the top three teams such as Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria, but I want to shine in the team competition, and I want to win the medal in the individual competition. !
But it has nothing to do with you, it¡¯s for your family, for Yunik, and for yourself!
