Chatty Hollywood

*****Anika's Diary******

"I woke up this morning feeling sore all over my body and buzzing in my head, just like how I felt after three days and three nights of high when I went to Palm Springs on vacation when I was in college-well, this is also me. The reason why I still don't know who the father of my child is. Damn cocaine!

Charlize said I sleepwalked last night! My God, I never knew I had this problem! It must be that damn Charlotte has been stressing me out with work lately, the damn newbie!

However, it may be that my sleepwalking appearance last night really frightened him, and this guy actually let me rest for half a day for the first time. not good! The stock of the company I recently bought called Cisco is about to dive, and I have to call someone to help me clear my position..."

*****Next Page of Diary******

"Listen to me that I sold Cisco's stock, Charlotte looked at me for a long time with a very strange look, saying that I will definitely regret it. This guy, does he think he is Buffett?

However, releasing the big prophecy is not the purpose of this guy to chat with me - this damn novice director wants to modify the scene design and makeup, the scene is because this guy was originally an artist, so he doesn't need others to worry about it, but this makeup can be done. It's hard for me as a makeup artist!

Damn it, can't he honestly compete with the actors' performances like other novice directors? Whether the performance is good or not, this kind of retreat is so suitable for pointing fingers! Even if you are also from a technical position, but if you focus on the technical department so much, it will not let us technicians have fun! ?

I heard that Charlotte admires James Cameron who filmed "Terminator 2" very much. This kind of director doesn't compete with actors' performances, but puts his life in trouble for technicians. It started with that guy. Damn Cameron!

Well, that may seem harsh to say. In fact, the earlier Spielberg was like this, and that damn god George Lucas! How long has it been said that the pre-Star Wars legend will be filmed, and there is still no movement at all. According to people who know him, he seems to have fallen out with his teacher Kershner because of "Star Wars 2", and now no one will help him revise his lines in the second year of junior high school, so he dare not do it!

However, in fact, I still like "Terminator 2", and I am also a single mother. Sarah Connor in it makes me feel the same, especially my son is also named John..."

"I'm furious!!!

I've spent the whole day wrestling with Charlotte's new request for weirdo makeup, and this guy vetoed it with just one look! Is the demand you mentioned easy to achieve?

Originally, for the mutated monsters in the movie, they only needed to be ugly and disgusting in terms of make-up. This job was relatively simple, as long as they made their eyes uncomfortable, they could do whatever they wanted. But what are the demands now?

"While maintaining an ugly and disgusting appearance, it should be as hideous and mysterious as possible, and at the same time bring a sense of religious sacredness"—what is this? This is simply to make people look to the left and look to the right at the same time! I don't know how to split a body, and I can't change two heads!

You are simply embarrassing me! If this requirement can be met, I can even go to the crew of the "Alien" series to give makeup to the alien, and even use it in this small crew to listen to your instructions! ? "

*****Next Page of Diary******

"Well, I may have underestimated this guy Charlotte, he doesn't just point fingers...

After the makeup plan I came up with yesterday was rejected by him, I was at a loss. I didn't expect him to propose a plan today - to design makeup with reference to the totem paintings of primitive religions.

This is really an idea. Primitive religions are indeed ferocious, mysterious and have a sacred sense of religion. As for being ugly and disgusting, how many of those totems of primitive people are not ugly and disgusting in the eyes of modern people? One of the original purposes of using it is to intimidate the enemy!

In particular, for my reference, Charlotte also drew a few simple sketches for me. Although his drawing skills are not superb, I have to say that these sketches still have some meaning.

According to the meaning in the picture, I designed a new weird makeup scheme, which is not bad..."

*****Next Page of Diary******

"Charlotte ended up with a new make-up scheme, but for some reason, every time I finished putting on some of the weirdo actors, he would come over and do a couple more. What a big change it brought, but he said it was the finishing touch...

Well, if it wasn’t for John’s recent tuition fees, I’m relatively short of money, and after hearing this kind of insult to my professional level, I must use my own makeup pen to give him a “finish”..."

*****Next Page of Diary******

"It seems that I, the makeup artist, was not the only one who was picked on by Mr. Director.

Today, he’s starting to resent the cannibal hut that serves as the mutants’ home—the cabin that the women on several of our crews take turns living in, “the cannibal hut” as we call it privately.

Not only did he direct the crew to rearrange the hut, but he also painted a few sets of strange patterns on the floor of the hut with an unknown dark red paint. From a distance, it looked like a sacrificial magic circle for black magic. However, the paint exudes a fishy smell of rust, can't it be real blood?

However, why is he tossing so much? Part of the scene of the cannibal house has been filmed before, do you want to retake it! ?

That's right, it may be for the purpose of saving time and cost. From the start to the present, he seldom struggles with a certain shot repeatedly, and he does not have the entanglement and death that those novice directors should have. Now it may be because the shooting of the simple shots is relatively smooth, and there is room for him to flow out of the budget, and it is finally time to start tossing..."

*****Next Page of Diary******

"Thank God! This guy Charlotte finally let us technicians go, and started to toss the actors!

Sure enough, as I expected, the shots of the cannibal house were reshot! Moreover, not only the scene, but also the script and the lens have been greatly adjusted. For this reason, photographer Addison Yang argued with him a few words, but he seemed to be convinced in the end.

However, the most unlucky ones are the actors, especially poor Sally. It is said that her roles have been adjusted the most. Although the overall duration has not changed much, the difficulty has increased significantly, especially what to do on the surface and deep. Completely different performances on two levels - now I'm completely convinced that Sally didn't get the part by sleeping with her. This is simply making things difficult for others, can anyone be Jodie Foster! ? "

*****Next Page of Diary******

"In order for Sally to perform the so-called "double-layer" effect, Charlotte specially prepared two new scripts for her. It is said that the content written in them is completely different. I asked Sally specifically, but she said that she should keep it secret. requested by the director.

Maybe this particular script mode is really useful, maybe Sally really has the potential to be Jodie Foster, in the later shots, she performed really well, although she was often scolded by Charlotte , but once the requirements are met, the texture and layering shown in that performance are really different from before.

Especially in the cannibal house and several other scenes specially arranged by Charlotte with a strong sense of mystery and horror, I always feel that in her performance, apart from the sense of fear and excitement required by the normal script, etc. In addition to the emotions, there is also an unknown gloom and mystery that is deeply buried, and I want people to find out. This visibly enhances the appeal of her character, even if I'm just a makeup artist, I can see it at a glance.

Could it be that the mysterious second script written by Charlotte really has such a magical power? "

*****Next Page of Diary******

"Maybe Mr. Director really has some magical powers.

In the recent filming, not only Sally, whom he pays special attention to, but also the performance quality of several other main actors has also been significantly improved, especially when expressing emotions such as fear, which is very good.

Of course, according to the private statement of the assistant director "Old Gun" Richard, these guys may be simply intimidated by our Mr. Director, and the fear they carry when performing is their truest emotion.

Maybe it is. Recently, this guy Charlotte's majesty on the set has become more and more serious. When he sat behind the camera, the temperature of the entire set would drop by two degrees. You can feel it clearly, not to mention the actors who bear the brunt...

Maybe this guy really has the talent to be a horror film director. "

"Erica was scolded and cried by our director.

As a supporting actress who died in the first half of the movie, Erica's role is outstanding except for a short period of unclear passion, which is when she dies. But it happened to be this paragraph, Charlotte was still dissatisfied with her performance.

Really, although I don't like this bitch girl, it's too harsh to be said so. Afterwards, as the assistant director, "Old Gun" even asked me to comfort her. No way, who made me the only older woman in this crew!

However, "Old Gun" is really a good guy. If the whole production crew didn't have his help to coordinate, Charlotte's way of constantly putting pressure on the actors, I am afraid that some people would have been unable to stand it. I heard that he had a very high relationship with Charlotte before, it seems that this is really a good man who is willing to sacrifice for his friends.

Especially his bushy red beard is so sexy..."

"Everything is going well with the production team today, maybe it won't be long before it's finished. However, as a diary, there is nothing to remember today."

"I really don't want to write a diary anymore!

The damn psychiatrist said that writing a diary can relieve my psychological pressure and reduce my occasional hysteria. But after writing a diary for so long, why do I feel nothing at all?

That young doctor named Sweet is not an imposter, is he?

This is also true. So young, and her surname is "Xiao Tiantian"...

In fact, as a middle-aged single mother like me, who doesn't have much money, I also know that the easiest way to reduce my psychological pressure is to give me a reliable man! That way I can stop living off my fingers and sprinkler heads! !

Well, in fact, those with threaded vibrations are actually not bad, but they consume a little electricity...

God, please give me a strong man! Amen! (The line is blacked out, and Annika apparently felt ashamed to strike it out afterwards)”

*****Next Page of Diary******

"The Lord Almighty answered my prayers!!!

After today's filming wrapped, Old Gun got a call from what appeared to be his ex-wife who rejected his request to see the kids next week, which made him feel a little down. Charlotte asked me to comfort him, and I agreed without much thought. He even gave me a bottle of tequila before leaving.

I talked a lot with Old Gun, about his ex-wife, and about my John, and slowly, a bottle of tequila went in...

...and when I came to my senses, the two of us were hugging each other, and my panties were hanging from my ankles. I have to say that the "gun" of the old gun is full of firepower, but it is not old at all...

The two of us talked late, and the atmosphere was good, and I thought that if there were two more bottles of tequila, maybe he would propose to me. Unfortunately, all this was interrupted by a damn phone call, which seemed to be from an important investor. He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask.

Most importantly, go tell my little John that he might have a new daddy!

Well, this seems a bit rushed, but Lao Qiang is such a good man, I must grasp it! ! "
