339. Chapter 339 Surprise

"Cigarette?" The girl with a bob head, wearing ancient Egyptian clothes, and a cigarette box hanging on her chest looked at the young man sitting by the table with hopeful eyes.

"Oh, no, thank you, I won't smoke." The other party shook his head, then looked at her with an interested look, then looked at his companion, and said in a surprised tone: "As long as you have a tone, you won't let it go, man?"

Although the words are frivolous, they also have an appreciation and surprise. They seem to be surprised by the beauty emitted by the girl, so they do not sound offensive.

He quickly continued, "God, can you do me a favor? Can you laugh for me? Just a little?"

The man's tone was full of desire and sincerity, as if he wanted to see the girl's smile very much, and his eyes were full of interest and admiration. He raised his hand with the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was making a silent tsk sound.

So even though the words were still frivolous, the girl who bought cigarettes still hesitated and raised her mouth and showed her neat sworn teeth.

"By the way, look, your upper lip is shorter, making your smile much more charming." The man put his hands on his chest and said with an intoxicating expression.

"This smile is so beautiful. Can you smile for me a few more times?" The man stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch her face, but immediately noticed something and took it back, and then looked at the girl with a reluctant expression.

"Look, you should really laugh a few more times. Do you like to laugh?" He narrowed his eyes, not hiding the appreciation in his eyes and the desire to possess.

"Director?" The assistant off-set called out to Scorsese, who was sitting in a special chair.

You know, the content here should be Hughes reaching out to touch the girl's calves to tease, and the line should also be: Look, I really want to know what can give you a beautiful woman like. I mean, like you are standing here, right? I touch you with my hands, like this, with my fingertips - do you like it?

But now Sean not only changed his movements, but also changed his lines, which is undoubtedly inappropriate in the eyes of the assistant. It is not that there are no actors who modify their lines during performances, and some directors also have not been so strict about the lines and are willing to let the actors perform themselves, but these are excellent big-name directors and actors.

Only excellent actors know how to make the modified lines closer to the filming content, and only excellent directors can control the scenes so that the actors will not lose control when performing on their own. Although Sean has been praised by many people and was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor, he has only been in the industry for more than three years. As someone around Scorsese, these assistants have seen too many good acting skills, so naturally they don’t think he has the ability to control it.

However, to their surprise, Scorsese said nothing, but made a gesture to continue shooting, and then stared at the few people on the set with even more concentration. The assistants couldn't help but look at each other and looked at the young man again at the same time. He was really so good at acting? Can Scorsese allow him to play freely?!

"Come on, don't be shy, smile another way, show me your beauty and more beauty." Sean on the set continued to say in a gentle voice, with a smile, an indescribable charm, giving people a feeling that these words are sincere.

But he immediately picked up the girl's hand, with a clear teasing in his eyes, and compared it with the clothes from the 1940s and 1950s and the distribution, the image of the playboy was still thorough.

Scorsese couldn't help but smile, then nodded. There was no doubt that Sean's self-performance was recognized by him. But immediately he frowned again, because the actress who played the tobacco-selling girl's performance was a bit bad now. Maybe he didn't expect Sean to change his lines, so he was a little confused for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

What a pity. Scorsese muttered in his heart that if the actor who was acting was a more experienced actor, she should have been at a loss and a little excited, wanting to accept the other person's praise, but worried about being deceived by the other person.

Well, this is just a little actor, so you can't be too demanding. Scorsese can only comfort himself, but it's reasonable to show a confused look, and... this kind of confusion from the inside out is sometimes very convincing.

"Look, I just want to make you happy. I want to know everything about you. Can I let me do this? Can I give me this opportunity?" Sean continued at this time, his smile becoming more and more gentle and a little aggressive. He really brought this playboy to life.

"I'll get off work in half an hour." Because the lines returned to the content specified in the script, the actress finally knew what she had, and immediately smiled and said in a normal manner.

This paragraph is over here, and then Scorsese applauds first: "Beautiful, Sean."

Since the director said so, everyone applauded, and Sean made a relief move, then smiled and raised his hand: "I'm very worried, Martin, if you think it's bad, I'll fall into the abyss."

"So, but seeing you talking so freely, I suddenly felt that this might be good, and I believe Martin would see it like that." Adam Scott, who played Hughes's spokesman Johnny Meyer, interjected, and praised the two of them for a little.

"How could it be," Scorsese laughed, "If it doesn't work, I'd have stopped."

"So, how many points do you give me the performance just now, Martin?" Sean asked immediately, and looked hopeful.

"Well..." Scorsese pinched his chin and thought, "About Hughes, I give A-, about Playboy, I give A+!"

There was a burst of laughter all around him, and Sean rolled his eyes, smiled bitterly and raised his hands helplessly. Who said that Scorsese, who is known for his sternness on the set, can't joke?

Of course, this is because he is in a good mood, because Sean did not disappoint him. When he was in Long Beach, he was a little unacceptable. When he was in the factory, he was just a normal show. Unexpectedly, after starting the show in the hotel, he gave him a surprise.

What should the playboy be like? Of course, he is good at coaxing women, he must be good at saying good words, and he must be good at observing his expressions. Even the famous Howard Hughes cannot escape this rule.

If he was really a moody freak, no matter how rich he was, no matter how easily his personality aroused a woman's motherhood, he would not be favored by so many women.

Scorsese was more familiar with DiCaprio in the first place, in addition to working with each other, and was more familiar with it. It was probably one of the reasons why DiCaprio was good at coaxing women. Unfortunately, it was worse than Sean. Look at those who had a rumor with him. Which one is not older than him? These women with certain experience were still coaxed by him. Nicole Kidman had dated him for several months, not to mention other women.

Yes, Scorsese has found someone to investigate Sean. Since it is time to cooperate, and it is the first time, it is always necessary to understand clearly. These gossips cannot be hidden in Hollywood. Of course, the true and false of them needs to be distinguished by the person who collects information.

"Patrick, tell everyone that we need to change the shooting progress, and the cameras at the plane factory are pausing, and now we are all working on the hotel part." Scorsese called his new assistant director and ordered.

Originally, the initial plan was to complete several shots there after the start of Long Beach, and then shoot the parties in the airplane factory and hotel in the studio alternately.

This is because both scenes are very long, including content from different periods. For example, the plane factory has both scenes of Hughes accepting new aircraft twice and creating large passenger aircraft. At the hotel party, there are scenes of finding MGM to borrow a camera, the scenes of meeting Juan Tripp, and the scenes of having dinner with Hepburn.

Basically, each scene takes at least two to three weeks, and the same type of scenes will take longer to shoot, and the actors and crew are prone to fatigue, so Scorsese simply exchanges shooting.

Anyway, these two scenes require setting up a scene in the studio. As long as you discuss with the studio, rent two studios next to each other, or simply rent a large studio, it is very convenient to shoot back and forth.

However, now Sean gave Scorsese a surprise, and the old man naturally thought about using it. To put it simply, that is, let him continue to immerse himself in this atmosphere. Although there are many scenes of hotel parties, most of them are talking about love, or they are demonstrating to the Pan American Tripp, the story of the young and energetic Hughes.

Since Sean has made great efforts in this regard, let him continue to think about it in this atmosphere and further integrate himself into Howard Hughes. Scorsese is still very confident. He had already talked with Sean several times before the filming was started. The other party's homework was well done, and he also saw it. In addition to the videotape that made him feel amazing before, he felt that he could shoot more perfectly.

Sean felt that he didn't care about this. He thought he was well prepared. Even if he was not in good condition after turning on the camera due to Kate and various reasons, as the shooting deepened, he would definitely be able to fully demonstrate his strength. However, it would be good to be able to show it a little in advance. Although this started with that kind of performance, as long as he could create a Howard Hughes who has been recognized by countless people, this is nothing.
