Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 112: Fake it for real

The next day, the filming of "Happy Death Day" continued.

Because we still had to shoot a series of shots of the heroine Cui coming out of the dormitory, poor Nick Schleiden had to continue to fall over and over again.

However, while falling down, Nick was wondering——

He really couldn't remember what happened last night.

According to his remaining memory, he seemed to have asked out a beautiful blonde girl from the bar last night, and the two entered the hotel together, and then——

I don’t remember it after that.

By the time Nick had another memory, it was already the next morning.

At that time, he was the only one in the hotel room. The clothes on his body were torn in half, but the key pants were still firmly where they should be.

"Is it really like what the director said, that I failed and passed out due to alcohol in the middle of the show?"

That's right, I don't know if it's fate or not, the director and the heroine Miss Theron live next door to him, and Nick happened to bump into them when he went out.

"When we came over, we saw a blonde girl walking out of your room angrily. Boy, you missed a great night."

This is what the director said at the time.

It should be what he said!

Nick, who couldn't remember what happened next, suddenly felt that the saying that drinking can ruin things was so correct.

*******

No matter how depressed poor Nick Schleiden is, after all, he is just a sidekick and cannot affect the overall situation.

The rest of the shoot went smoothly.

After the series of scenes in which the heroine Cui leaves the boys' dormitory was completed, there were no problems in the following parts until——

"CUT!"

Charlotte shouted helplessly, feeling depressed as she looked at the picture just taken on the monitor.

"Johnny, Winona, come here!"

Yes, it's time to film the appearance of Dr. Gregory, who has an extramarital affair with the heroine.

Accordingly, Johnny Depp, who guest-starred as the character, and Winona Ryder, who guest-starred as his wife, also joined the cast.

The problem lies with these two people!

This is the same as Charlotte expected before. The only thing he didn't expect was the way things went wrong -

"Johnny, Winona, you both performed great, but..."

Charlotte pointed at the finished scene that was being played back on the monitor. The two people also looked embarrassed.

Yes, when performing their respective performances, the two of them, as long-established actors, performed well, but once they appeared in the same camera, the awkwardness between a man and a woman who broke up immediately overflowed.

This is easier to handle. After all, according to the script, there were already some problems between Dr. Gregory and her wife. As long as you control it, this embarrassing energy is quite appropriate. But--

"The chemical reaction between the two of you is too strong, right? Just a glance at each other makes people feel as if you have been waiting for each other for thousands of years..."

——You are not filming "Edward Scissorhands" now. If Dr. Gregory and his wife were still so sticky, why would he have an extramarital affair? ?

Charlotte roared in her heart.

Now he somewhat understands why Jodie Foster cares about these two people's affairs——

It does look a bit pity!

Even someone like Charlotte, who they had just met, would feel that "being together" was the right thing for them when looking at the sparks of electricity between them from time to time.

But they have separated!

Charlotte really didn't know what to say.

"I'll take control!" (repeated tone)

The two people also understood what Charlotte meant, and they made guarantees, but they spoke in unison...

Charlotte wanted to facepalm.

Sure enough, the subsequent scenes involving Dr. Gregory and his wife were NG several times in a row.

Now, not only Charlotte, the director, but also other actors and crew also saw the problem.

To be fair, Winona Ryder's performance wasn't too bad.

This is not because she has better acting skills than Depp or anything else, but simply because the wife she plays does not know about her husband's cheating. There is nothing wrong with having love in her eyes, as long as she controls it.

This still doesn't bother Winona, who has grown up on the set since she was a child.

And Depp——

"Johnny, can we talk?"

After announcing a break in filming, Charlotte pulled the future Captain Jack Sparrow aside.

"You did it on purpose, right?"

Charlotte's words were very direct, but they were not complaints, but statements of his guesses.

Yes, he did suspect that Depp deliberately acted poorly.

For actors, the difficulty of acting has always been to show appropriate emotions. After all, the emotional expression in front of the camera is different from the reality. Even if they are real lovers, they may not be able to perform that kind of feeling in front of the camera.

But once you can show the corresponding feelings, although it is difficult to retract, it is by no means as difficult as showing it.

This is why Charlotte suspected that Depp, who could never control his emotional expression, did it on purpose.

"Did you see this?"

Depp did not deny it. He glanced at Charlotte awkwardly and said with some embarrassment,

"Please rest assured, I am not targeting you or anyone else, I am doing it for -"

"Winona, right?"

Charlotte glared at Depp angrily,

"You want to get back together with her, so you're taking the opportunity to flirt with her?"

Depp nodded awkwardly.

"..."

Charlotte has a phrase MMP in her heart, but he can't say it——

Indeed, many actors and actresses in Hollywood have a bad habit of flirting with each other during filming. Some people often flirt with each other and end up on the bed.

Directors are also happy to see this happen. After all, the chemical reaction between men and women is difficult to figure out. If the normal performance cannot achieve the effect, the directors don't mind if they use some tricks.

For example, "The Notebook", a romantic classic that is highly regarded by later generations, was the result of the mutual flirtation between the male and female leads Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Later, the two of them got together as expected.

——Of course, they separated again later.

In fact, this is the negative problem of the feelings gained from teasing each other during filming——

Because of the influence of the filming plot itself, the actors themselves often don’t know whether they are real feelings or if they are too involved in the drama. They can only rely on the almighty time to solve the problem.

This is also an important reason why men and women in Hollywood are separated and reunited.

However, when it comes to Depp specifically, it’s a different situation——

This bastard is obviously adding drama to himself without permission! !

"It's no use being like this, Johnny!"

Charlotte decided to kill his fantasy as soon as possible,

"This method of flirting with each other during filming may be useful for men and women who are working together for the first time. For people like you and Winona..."

Mr. Director shook his head,

"After all, after experiencing real feelings, the false feelings in the story are no longer useful - although drama comes from life, it cannot overwhelm life."

Depp also had a wry smile on his face.

It's not that he doesn't know this, but he still can't help but give it a try.

Although he and Winona broke up peacefully, from his side, he was actually unwilling to do so.

The more important factors are the psychological pressure caused by the opposition from Winona's family and the endless harassment from the media.

Therefore, now that he has the opportunity to work with Winona again, of course he wants to try to see if there is a chance to get back together.

Although the method of selection is indeed not very good.

"I won't do this kind of thing again!"

Feeling like a complete failure, Johnny Depp reassures Charlotte.

Charlotte didn't pay attention to Depp's assurance. He glanced at the latter thoughtfully and asked a completely unrelated question:

"Johnny, your sleep? No, to be precise, when you and Winona are together, do you both have bad sleep?"
