- What a big day!
Emma welcomed January 5th with a high mood. Yesterday, Wei invited her to visit his new residence today and talk about the talent show!
"I really want to work with you. You have to perform well. We need to talk." He said.
It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve been invited by him. I haven¡¯t even gone to Barrington Park to walk the dog. I¡¯m a guest! ? Uh-huh-huh. The Sagittarius Girls' School doesn't start school until next week, so there's plenty of time, so a whole day will do.
After getting the invitation, Emma eagerly did a tarot card reading for herself, asking about her trip, and she turned out to be a real magician!
Right time, right opportunity, right motivation, now is the time to start something new! Could it be that the upside-down lovers card has been turned into its upright position? Impossible?
Emma-time! ?
No matter what, let nature take its course!
Early this morning, Emma put on beautiful light makeup, with her long blond hair hanging down, wearing a black and white floral dress, a pair of sandals, and a colorful knotted bracelet on her left wrist, giving her a youthful and sweet style. She was about to set off, her 15th birthday would be next month, she didn¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license, and Wei didn¡¯t come to pick her up, so she had to let her family¡¯s driver take her there.
Under the clear sky, with the sea breeze blowing in Santa Monica, the Lincoln stopped in front of a residence on the west section of 12th Street. The rear door opened and a golden girl holding a handbag walked out.
"Wow." Emma looked at the double-story wooden house standing in front of her. It was not a mansion but so beautiful. The front yard was surrounded by a small white wooden fence and there were many trees and plants, which gave it a unique scenery. She walked over and pushed open the closed fence door that was no higher than her knees, and walked onto the porch of the house. She saw a surveillance camera installed in front of the door.
"Hi." She smiled and waved to the camera. It's great to live independently.
Butit seemed that the door of the house was opened, and the person who opened the door was Gia. "What are you doing standing here? Come in!" After that, Gia turned around and left, with the door of the house open.
I had expected it for a long time, this was a new house party. Emma felt a little disappointed, how could viy invite her alone.
"Here we come." She stepped forward and heard Wei's voice before she entered the room: "Bethany talks too much now, Michael, please trim it down and write some more powerful lines."
This is not like a party I saw several people in the living room. Michael Arndt, the screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine", was sitting with him on the sofa talking about a script. Opposite there was a wooden table. There was a round table, several laptops, and a lot of various documents. Gia and the other three were busy with something. This is not a party, this is work.
"Hey, Emma, ??welcome to my humble home." Ye Wei looked over and said with a smile.
Emma was a little confused, "Should I take off my shoes?" Some people had to take off their shoes when entering the house, most of them were Asian families, but they all wore shoes, only slippers.
"No, keep it simple." Ye Wei pointed to the dining hall, "There are coffee machines and tea machines there. Make whatever you want. You can just sit around and we'll talk later. Oh, this is Michael, That's Gia, you know her." Gia and Arndt both raised their hands in greeting.
He introduced again: "That's Parela Benlili. She just graduated from USC this year. She worked with me on "Dancing Angels" and now serves as my personal assistant. That's Essa Bertel. , one of my production assistants, who worked with me on the remake of "Wedding Day is Coming".
Parela just said "Hi" and continued working.
Essa, who is in her thirties or forties, said hello: "Emma, ??I am a fan of your Aunt Julia. She is so beautiful. I am gay."
"Yeah, he's gay, has a long-term boyfriend, their favorite movie is Brokeback Mountain, and their dream is to legalize same-sex marriage. Essa, do your job! We don't have much time. Jesus "With this kind of efficiency, I still need to hire an assistant." Ye Wei was very dissatisfied.
¡°Esa quickly buried his head back in the pile of documents.
"Hello everyone" The tense atmosphere made Emma speechless. Compared with her new home, this place is more like a studio.
"It's up to you." Ye Wei discussed with Arndt again: "Alanna is too weak now. She doesn't shine in the materials, but we can find it. Seeing with my own eyes that my best friend almost died, but survived like Losing everything was a huge blow to her"
Emma looked at Master Gia in confusion, winked and asked: What's going on here?
Gia shrugged her shoulders and said silently in a slow mouth: He's here!
"I don't understand" Emma rolled her eyes feebly and said in a very low voice. Gia did not respond. She watched Ye Wei and Arndt chatting non-stop. What about visiting the house? What about chatting? Alas, no more, calling her here today is all about work.
"Wei, the line problem you mentioned, nowThe Christians of Seny showed little. Arndt asked.
"I don't want to preach. The power of faith is blind. No matter what, you believe in the dogma and move forward in pain. You won't be sure until you get something later. I think in this story, Bethany defeated herself. In the test of fate, family ties are the most critical.
Their initial materials were outrageous, like we were in pain, went to church, and then everything was fine, and the whole family began to face it positively. This is false, everyone in this story is moving forward in pain. Bethenny's response to family affection, her love for surfing, and her expectations for herself are the truth and support her willingness to blindly believe that good things will happen. In fact, it is not belief, but expectation and self-improvement. Writing these. "
Ye Wei talked eloquently, and Arndt nodded thoughtfully.
Emma went to the dining hall to make a cup of tea, looked at the still simple and empty surroundings, looked at the busy people, and listened to the discussion of the two screenwriters.
After half an hour, the brainstorming came to an end. Arndt took the script, materials, recording cards, etc. to the study room with the computer to revise the script. Viy finally had some free time. He stood up and walked over, looked at her carefully, and called out: "Emma Ruth Roberts."
"Here!" Emma, ??who was standing at the busy round table, straightened her face, looking very serious.
"Follow me." Ye Wei turned his head and signaled, walking towards the backyard.
Gia gave a "be careful" look in her eyes and then started writing the copy.
Emma followed Ye Wei out of the living room, passed through the corridor, and reached the spacious backyard. Under the flower stand next to the back door of the house, there was a casual glass round table and several rattan chairs. There were laptops, several books, and a set of DVDs on the table. ? The DVD of "unfabulo"
With a click sound, Ye Wei pulled out a chair and sat down. Emma sat down opposite him. She put the tea cup she was holding on the table, straightened her waist, put her hands on her hands, and smiled with her teeth.
"You know, the date for the talent show has been set." Ye Weiyi said seriously.
"Well, the 21st and 22nd, a weekend, I know." Emma said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to it."
Ye Wei became more and more serious: "In one weekend, it is expected that the number of participants will exceed one thousand, maybe more than two thousand. We will know when the registration closes on the 15th. With so many people, in such a short time, everyone's performance opportunities must be limited. Who can enter the final round?" Every winner on the inspection list must have a very good performance.¡±
He paused, ¡°You are Julia Roberts¡¯ niece.¡±
"Yes" Emma didn't know what he wanted to say.
"You are also my good friend, so of course, you will have different treatment. Emma Watson has also signed up, and of course she will also have different treatment. There is nothing to deny, all famous people , Star II, all have unique treatment.
That means your performance is easier to notice and discover, and you also have more talent, experience and a good mentality than most newcomers. Think about some new actors who are great, but go home empty-handed because they are nervous, scared, or unable to perform well. You have absolute natural advantages. "
Ye Wei spoke in a fast and steady voice, Emma nodded from time to time, and he continued: "So I hope you understand that this is an unfair competition, like the 28/20 rule. Although your number is very small, you may be There are more than a dozen people, but you account for eight; there are many others, but you only account for two.¡±
"The second thing I hope you understand is that I look forward to cooperating with you. We have been talking about this for more than a year."
"Me too." Emma was a little happy, holding the teacup in both hands, "I hope so too."
"I hope you can win a heroine." Ye Wei said seriously.
Emma¡¯s heart suddenly jumped, and she was excited and happy. It was the first time that he said so directly, ¡°I will try my best!¡±
"But I don't want to be biased. I want you to perform well. You won the role not only because of our friendship, but the key is because of your strength. You can make others overshadowed!"
Ye Wei's encouraging look was suppressed by his excited words: "Emma Ruth Roberts, your father is a good actor nominated for an Oscar, your aunt is a legend, and there are many good actors in your family. How old are you? I have been on the set and have acted in movies, TV series, and short films Do you want to lose to some newcomers?"
"No" Emma suddenly felt a pressure coming on her and blinked, "I will try my best."
"Then let's talk about how you should work hard." Ye Wei took a copy of "The Lovely Bones" on the table, opened a page and handed it to her, "You have read the book and know what is going on. Play Susie and Harley knows this part, and I will play Harley opposite you.¡±
Susie! Emma couldn't help but stare, took the book, took a deep breath, calm down, and behave well!
"Hi, my name is Susie." She smiled lightly.
"My name is Harley." He said calmly.
"How long have you been here?" She stared.
"It's been three days." He said softly.
"Me too." She sighed.
"Do you like it here?" he asked.
"I don't like it," she said after blinking.
"I don't like it either." He smiled.
Emma didn't know how she performed, so Ye Wei handed her another draft book without comment, "Winter's Bone". She played Rui and he played Rui's good friend Gale, and they acted a part; and then "Soul Surfer" A page of "People", with her playing Bethany and him playing Alanna.
"How was it?" After the performance, Emma asked expectantly.
Ye Wei silently opened the laptop on the table and took the DVD of "unfabulo".
"Uh" Emma had a bad feeling. She was still acting in movies and TV shows. "Mermaid" was released on March 3. She was talking about a new classic project "Nancy Drew" and was preparing to participate in viy The draft is gone. At this time, watching the first season of "Unfabulo" playing on the computer screen, she said with a smile: "Haha, it was only more than a year. I was really young at that time."
"Did you see it?" Ye Wei pressed pause. Emma could only see herself rolling her eyes, "I saw"
Ye Wei didn't say anything anymore. He continued to play, continued to pause, and dragged. The first season was over. Season 2 was over. He continued to play, continued to pause, and dragged. "Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it?"
What's wrong Emma turned her eyes and looked at the empty side, what's wrong
"Have you never thought about controlling your eyeballs?" Ye Wei suddenly said something else.
¡°Huh?¡± Emma held up the tea cup and took a sip, her eyes widening without blinking.
"Your eyeballs! They are always turning, blinking, turning, staring, and wrinkled." Ye Wei said while dragging "unfabulo", "This is your way of performing. I really like to use your eyes and Your smile is acting, but blinking doesn¡¯t mean you are acting, you are just blinking!
Look at these, there are too many, you have too many micro-expressions, too many equals inaccuracy. Every facial expression should be related to the physical and psychological state of the character, but you are always using your eyes, monotonously and extensively, and the traces of performance are too heavy! Sometimes it's unnatural and conveys the wrong message to the audience because it's imprecise.
In this way, you can act in comedy, but you cannot act in drama. In this way, you are not performing, you are being yourself. "
After listening to what he said in one breath, Emma's face turned red with embarrassment, "But"
"No but, you just played three characters, but you gave me the same feeling. You didn't try to make them any different. You didn't build the consciousness of the character, let alone get into the character. This is the most basic aspect, and you didn¡¯t do it well.¡±
Ye Wei frowned, "You'll be 15 next month. Two years ago, I would have said your acting skills were very good and talented. Now I would say it's okay. In two years, I'd say it's terrible." . As time goes by, you don¡¯t make progress, you just keep regressing, because you are no longer a child.¡±
"But!" Emma sounded anxious, wanting to explain.
"No buts." Ye Wei emphasized his tone, "I won't give you face because I'm in an overloaded state right now. I won't say ten sentences before saying what I really want to say. I'll tell you directly. You said that. I really want to cooperate with you, but your performance is not enough."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Emma almost cried, what a real magician, I clearly asked about love, not career
The angrier she became, the shriller her voice became: "I also want to act well, but this is how I act I also acted this way in "Mermaid."
Ye Wei shook his head, looking a little disappointed, "I don't care about "Mermaid". For me, it's not enough, not enough! Your aunt can play almost any role, but you can only play Emma Roberts. I'm not asking you to win an Oscar right away." The level of the heroine, you know what's the biggest problem? Are you satisfied with the status quo!
??After two seasons of "unfabulo", you have not improved at all, you are just older in appearance and age. "
"I'm not satisfied. I want to perform well. What I want" Emma said anxiously, her eyes turning red.
"Many people say that actors are youthful rice. This is because those people really can only rely on youth to make a living. Acting is not youthful rice for Meryl Streep, and it is not youthful rice for your aunt. But you If you continue like this, you will definitely be a youthful person.¡±
Ye Wei loudly stopped her: "You don't have to be unconvinced, your way of acting won't work without a good adult actor."?The fewer expressions, the more precise, and the more it moves people with an inner feeling, the better the performance. Don't tell me you can't understand this. Anna understood it when she was 10 years old, and Abigail understood it when she was 9 years old. "
"But" Tears welled up in Emma's eyes. She had never heard such severe and violent criticism on a performance, and it came from him.
"No buts!! You rely too much on your own talent." Ye Wei lowered his voice, "Just because you have a good background and high talent, you don't practice basic skills. The older you get, the more your basic skills become more prominent. Poor. In terms of performance, talent determines the lower limit, and basic skills determine the upper limit!
Maybe it¡¯s because no one told you directly, not even your aunt! Maybe you want to be different from your aunt too much, I don't care.
I¡¯m telling you this as a good friend and director, Emma, ??it¡¯s time to practice your basic acting skills. Understand, it's not about a talent show, it's about your performance, your entire career as an actor. I think you can surpass your aunt, so I won't save face for you. "
Emma wiped her tears, looking helpless and angry: "What should I do? Ask my aunt?"
"Basic skills don't rely on others to tell you, but rely on practice. The theory is still the theory. Only by practicing more and summarizing more can you make progress."
Ye Wei said very seriously: "Let me give you a last-minute suggestion. During this period of time, you should practice in front of the mirror and control yourself not to roll your eyes, frown, purse your lips, grin, or Use your eyes to perform! Don¡¯t even make a tiny eye movement. Use your face and body to complete the performance.¡±
"How can that work" Emma was dumbfounded. If she can't do those things, how can she perform?
"You think about it yourself." Ye Wei pushed the chair and stood up, "I have to be busy with other things, so I'll excuse you for now. You think about it carefully." He walked over and patted her shoulder encouragingly, then walked back into the house.
Emma sat speechless, her eyes were about to turn around helplessly, but stopped and couldn't turn
She held her head in her hands in annoyance, the draft? I feel like I can¡¯t even perform anymore¡ - Didn't finish reading?
