The w¡¯sb crew continues to shoot intensely in Springfield. The set is in the mountains and forests near ¡°Dolly¡¯s House¡±. The weather is gloomy today and there is not much sunshine at noon.
"Yeah, that's it." Everyone was taking a lunch break at the base camp. Ye Wei sat on the director's chair, put down his phone, and frowned slightly.
Roger Ebert also gave it a bad review, and it only had one star. He was so mean.
"Carrie" did not perform miracles, and the critical response was worse than expected. Almost all the original concerns came true. The screenwriting team lacked creativity, was constrained by commercial factors, and Kimberly lost her way between business and art
Nina¡¯s performance was actually pretty good. This was not her problem or any of the actors¡¯ problems. They were all dragged down.
He has given many opinions, but he is the kind of person who listens to others and pulls them down if they don¡¯t, unless he holds a higher position than planning. His opinion is not just a matter of implementation. It is difficult to decide when to shoot a new version of a classic film and who will shoot it. Kimberly didn't do it well. Can you blame her?
He himself can't even beat his chest and say with certainty, "I will make a new classic." It is a fact that he did not provide more powerful help to "Carrie". He did not participate much in its filming and post-production. One reason Firstly, he was busy with SS and TLB, secondly, he was far away from Nina, and thirdly, he was not within his power and responsibilities.
Should be involved moreprobably.
Ye Wei pressed the phone. He originally wanted to call Nina to talk about the matter. He looked at the busy surroundings, but then he thought about calling Nina at night.
"Hey, Yui." Jennifer came over with the script to talk about the play, and Alicia followed her to join in the fun. Also arriving at almost the same time as them was prop master Andre Capel. The director was the "most popular" person on the set. As soon as Capel approached, he said: "Weige, no, we really can't find that person." Plant fake squirrels.¡±
Ye Wei suddenly turned his head away unwilling to listen, "Let me think of a way."
Capel looked at the king helplessly. This was a nonsensical problem. In the afternoon, we have to shoot a scene in which Rui, Gale and Rui's two younger brothers kill squirrels. Rui teaches them how to skin them. The director wants the most realistic squirrels, but the crew is not allowed to kill squirrels or buy them from hunters for this purpose. Squirrels, just killing live squirrels won't do.
"A fake squirrel that looks just like the real thing is impossible except for special effects." Capel can only say bluntly that the most realistic squirrel is a squirrel.
Both girls understood it. Alicia thought this was Ye Wei's character, it was so cool. Jennifer felt that eh, she was the one who was going to skin the squirrel, not Alice or Sonny or Harold or Ye Wei, it was her, and in order to be proficient, she needed to practice first, and maybe ng so what was needed was not Not one or two squirrels, but at least ten.
"I suggest using real squirrels." Capel coaxed a child with a wry smile, "Weige, hunting squirrels is normal."
Ye Wei shook his head slightly: "No, no! They used to live well here, but they died just because we were making movies. They don't care about art. This is not okay. Maybe we killed a new mother! A pair just started a new life. Lover, no. "However, this scene must be filmed. This is an important feature in shaping Rui He's story.
Capel asked the hunter and continued to persuade: "We found a way to lure the squirrels to take anesthesia, and they will fall into a coma. Then we let them die of suffocation in the coma. There is no pain, and the most complete remains are preserved." body."
"Are you kidding me?" Ye Wei suddenly turned his head and glared at Capel, "Rui and the others shot them back with a shotgun! Those squirrels must be bloody and bloody, and what I hate most is drugging animals to kill them. God. Ah!" He couldn't help but gasped, "If you want to kill them, at least let them know how they died. They should know what species they were killed by, and then they will make a miserable scream, okay. Remind your family, friends and companions, 'There is danger here, run quickly and be careful of humans in the future.' That is also a destination for animals, so that they can die with value, dignity and hope, but this is not included in Died in a coma. Don't mention this suggestion, I'm a hypocrite."
Capel was stunned for a moment, it seemed that was indeed the case, but it was just a squirrel
oh. Alicia looked at Ye Wei in fascination. Jennifer's eyebrows twitched, why hadn't she thought about it before? This guy is really interesting.
"So?" Capel could only smile bitterly, "Our prop team really has no choice. There is no such thing as a fake squirrel."
Ye Wei was silent for a long time. I am the initiator and producer of the project. Everything started because of me, and they died because of me. He stood up and said: "Hunting from the front, I will kill." Everyone was startled, he shrugged and said: "This will be my first time hunting, but I am a sharpshooter in the playground."
¡¡
"Carrie!", "Your new movie will be released tomorrow, right? I can't wait.", "We will go and support it, haha."
"Thank you." No matter where Nina walks in the school, someone will say hello from time to time. If she feels that the other person is not malicious, she will respond with a few words. What is good intention and what is evil intention? She looked back at the group of people walking away laughing and talking in the corridor. They burst out laughing. She felt that they were laughing at her
31% freshness, a catastrophic performance.
I really don¡¯t understand. Everything was fine, but in the end it all ended with a bang. The Oscar dream is indeed just a dream. Maybe she will be nominated when she is 28, but not at 18, not this time.
"Nina, I've found you." A group of sisters and friends came towards them, and Nina suddenly became even more upset and didn't want to see them.
They seemed to have already known that their expressions were different from usual. She had already seen through these women and guessed how happy they were. But whether it was gloating or pity and sympathy, she didn't want it
"You know it, right." Nina was too lazy to go around in circles. The girls looked at each other, "What do you know?" She rolled her eyes at them. Recently, she often talked about the possible positive reviews of "Carrie". Bette is still a fan of viy. Bette must have checked it out. Anyone can tell it with a big mouth. Know.
She took the initiative to say for them: "The movie reviews of "Carrie" were not very good." The girls exclaimed in shock, "I'm so sorry, Nina.", "I'm so sorry for you.", "What's wrong? "Relationship, those movie critics even said "High School Musical" is a bad movie." "Yeah, what do they know?"
In fact, Nina thinks so in her heart. Not being fresh enough does not mean it is not good at the box office. Although her dream of Oscar is over, "Carrie" is a commercial film. With a budget of 15 million, it will be a success if it grosses 50 million at the North American box office. If it does well at the box office, Not a failure! Maybe it will still It's really influential. Next year, let's show it to Roger Ebert and the others with a Teen Choice Award for Best Thriller Movie. That's a prize too.
Thinking so, Nina didn¡¯t dare to speak too loudly now. She just laughed and said: "That¡¯s called different viewing needs. You don¡¯t need to comfort me. It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s talk about something else."
"Anyway, I'm so embarrassed this time, let's see how much we can recover."
After knowing the result at noon, Nina was depressed all afternoon and had no interest in doing anything. When I got home in the evening, my parents were already prepared and greeted me with smiles on the porch. Their smiles were real and fake, ng!
"My dear, welcome home." Mihaela opened her hands to hug her daughter.
"Baby, let's go to the lake to walk the dog together?" Constantine pulled the cpp on the leash and let it comfort its owner.
"You don't need to say anything." Nina exhaled repeatedly. Sometimes she would lose her temper easily when facing her family. She hugged her mother, kicked her father, and said in Bulgarian: "It's not going to be okay, "Jia" The critical response to "Lee" has been decided. It is a bad movie and my performance is terrible. This result will not change just because of your comfort."
Cpp pounced on her a few times, she picked it up and sighed, "I'm fine, I will take care of myself, and take good care of it, Sissi! It will be called Sissi from now on." She kissed Sissi's Nosing, "Do you like your new name, Sissy? Oh look at youyour cute eyes, you are the Oscar for Best Actress!"
How could Mihaela not be comforted: "I talked with your agent. It's not that bad. It's not your fault. What's more important is the box office. Even if the box office is not good, a failure is nothing. You Your career has just started, so don't worry about not having a chance. "Constantine also said: "We don't care whether you become a star or not. The most important thing is that you live a happy life. You have already made us very proud." Mihaela nodded. : "Honey, we love you."
"I know" Nina smiled at her parents, showing off her silly and bright smile, "You guys go with Sissy, I'm a little tired and want to rest. Stop talking about how "Magic" is going, wait. Let¡¯s talk about it after the first week.¡± She now understands why she wants to wait until the dust settles to look at the results, although she doesn¡¯t plan to do that.
Dad went to take Cixi away, and mother stayed at home, as if she was afraid that she would commit suicide, right?
Nina was bored here and there at home, and there was no point in going out to play. It wouldn't get dark until almost 7 o'clock. She inspected the yard and glanced at the small utility room next to the house. She already understood why Ye Wei didn't Attend the premiere.
¡°Because he watched the movie the first time, he knew it was a bad movie and he didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with it anymore. She understood him, it was human nature, and she might have done the same thing if it were her. He still has his movie to promote. It's not that he doesn't respect her, but he just doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water. He has done enough for her to play Carrie.
Think so?Nina was relieved.
Friends are just like this, and things will always be like this. After "Carrie" ended, they would only become more estranged. Many years later, a reporter suddenly asked her in an interview: "Have you and Ye Wei still kept in touch over the years? "She replied: "Huh? We haven't contacted each other for several years."
As she was looking at the sunset in the sky, her cell phone suddenly rang. Nina took it out and saw that this person was calling. Guess, he will definitely say comforting words like "Nina, your performance is very good, you are the best, everything will be fine."
As she walked towards the lawn, she answered the call: "Hi, Weige."
"Good evening, Nina, how are you doing?" Ye Wei's hearty laughter came from the mobile phone, "I had a bad day, I killed 7 squirrels, I am a devil."
"Haha." Nina was neither interested nor wanted to talk. She just wanted to hang up the line quickly. She laughed and said, ""Carrie" was messed up. I thought it would be good." Ye Wei's voice became deeper: "I didn't expect it. I always wanted to get a score of 60 from the film critics." She first said comforting words: "Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. No matter what, life is always moving forward, isn't it?"
Ye Weijing on the other end said for a few seconds, "Yes, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the courage to fail."
"I think so too, I know." Nina smiled and said, "It's okay!"
Ye Wei is still saying: "Nina, the failure of "Carrie" is not because you didn't act well. Sometimes actors can only fail passively. That killing scene broke out at the ball. It was your idea to act like that with your hands. Or was it Kimberly¡¯s idea?¡±
"Kimberly's idea." Nina answered him.
"Of course, because of the overall design of the scene, the lenses, props, special effects, etc., every actor playing Carrie had to act accordingly. Can I blame you? No. If anyone criticizes you for this, it is Wrong. Those film critics also know that they can¡¯t blame you. You can see that they all say it¡¯s Pierce¡¯s fault and feel sorry for you.¡±
"I saw it, yes."
"So don't blame yourself." Ye Wei comforted, "It's not your fault, not at all. You were dragged down."
"Haha, I'm not blaming myself, it's just bad luck, I understand." Nina laughed and sighed, "But I'm still a little sad no matter what, it's just human nature, you can't help but make me sad, right? I heard him also laugh: "Okay, I'm also sad. I was scolded so bad. Damn it. Roger Ebert really made me angry."
"Don't blame yourself, you're just in name, it's none of your business." Nina didn't want to say any more, "That's it? I'm still busy with other things."
"Oh, okay, let's chat later." Ye Wei said, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After pressing the call button, Nina sat down on the front lawn, her face gradually turning slumped, she looked at the night sky, then looked down at the ground.
