After the port scene is completed, the plot of the Opera House is next. Here, Mingla fully explores Ripley's inner world, Dick, Freddy and others disdain for the opera, he can watch it with relish, and even

She shed tears for the tragic plot. At the same time, the script initially described Ripley's love to listen to songs, play piano and other things when he lived in the basement of New York. It echoed the front and back, giving people the feeling that he was not that bad.

The contradiction is also more real, making people sigh that he has fallen for desire.

In addition to this, there is also the scene where Ripley meets Maggie and her friends in the theater, and is then asked about Dick's whereabouts. Gwyneth also returns to the set again, and there is another new actor who plays Peter's.

Jack Davenport, so he gathered his lines and became familiar with each other's process.

Davenport is 24 years old, and like Jude, he is also a British man. He is also attracted by Mingla and joined the crew. He is a few months younger than Jude, with black hair, and is considered handsome, but just like

Jude kept a certain distance from Sean after entering the crew.

Sean just shrugged. He was used to it. After all, not everyone is as generous as Hoffman. Jude's relationship with him improved after that. But something strange is,

Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow also kept a distance. After meeting on the set, the two young girls said hello at most, and had almost no communication.

This is obviously something wrong. At least Sean knows that unless there is a holiday, women will chat a few times when they get along with each other and will not say anything, but have never heard of them having holidays?

"I know why?" Surprisingly, he asked casually during the break, but Garen jumped out to say that he knew, and then made a look of "Come and ask me". During this time he was on the crew,

I have a good relationship with the assistants of several other actors, so I am naturally well informed.

Unfortunately, Sean was very familiar with his style and treated him completely as air. After a few minutes, Garen, who was holding him in, had to take the initiative to say: "You go and look at the newly released Oscar nomination list."

Sean then suddenly realized and found the list and saw that it was true. Women kept a distance from each other, except for having holidays, but there were conflicts of interest. On the 71st Oscar nomination list released this year, Kate and Gwyneth

They are nominated for Best Actress for "Elizabeth" and "Shapes' Love History" respectively, and will decide the winner in this Oscar in half a month.

No wonder Gwyneth always leaves the crew as soon as she finishes her job, probably to go to PR. Frederick mentioned this. If you want to win an Oscar, five points are strength and four points are public relations.

Another point is luck. Since the late 1980s, PR has become more and more important. Kate is the same. He left after filming, making Sean want to say a few more words to her.

None of this has anything to do with Sean, although he found Meryl Streep's name on the nomination for Best Actress - this is her 9th Oscar nomination for Best Actress -

He glanced at the best actor nomination, but he quickly threw it behind his head.

Sean thought that one day his name would appear on the nomination list or even in the award-winning envelope, but those are still too early. One step at a time is what he should do, without a foundation or strength.

Everything will be just a castle in the air. Just like Sean knows that Microsoft's stock will rise sharply, but without capital, no matter how much you know, what's the use?

To apply an example, the basis and strength are 1, while PR, opportunity and luck are the long list of 0s after 1. To be honest, if it weren't for the intuition telling him, "The Genius Ripley" would be a very good movie.

The movie is worth his all to take a look. I'm afraid he will really accept the agent's proposal and jump from TV series to movies.

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Soon the theater scene was completed. The only difficulty was the close-up of tears when watching the opera because of the tragic plot. This shot stuck Sean for a long time, but in the end he still brewed a need for shrinking

The feelings are not made with those special means.

"Only true feelings can impress the audience. The closer the feelings you express is to reality, the more likely the audience is to be infected. So, before the last resort, do not use physical means to express the feelings of the characters." He always kept in mind Harrington's words.

Unfortunately, this good teacher has returned to the UK, and he did not notify him before leaving or leave contact information, which made him quite depressed.

In this way, and no one like him, understanding what it feels like to be another person, and fully prepared in advance, he finally grasped the character's inner world and accumulated strength and released it.

After that, there were two weeks of filming intermittently. In early March, the crew moved to New York to start the outdoor scene there. The main scene was that at Dick's father's banquet, Ripley was misunderstood by the other party in a borrowed Princeton University uniform.

Become a Dick's classmate. There are also the street view at the end of the banquet, the exterior of the basement where Ripley lives, etc. Although the story took place in the 1950s, there are not much changes in New York today and New York more than 40 years ago.

.

Sean has been to New York with his mother several times before, and is deeply impressed by the tall buildings and chessboards in Manhattan. Although Los Angeles is also quite prosperous, there are not many tall buildings in the earthquake zone, and it is not as dense as this.

On the other hand, there are few places like New York in the United States with high-rise buildings. After all, on this nearly 4 million square miles of land, there is only a population of nearly 300 million, so some people say that New York is the least American place.

Most famous Hollywood film companies have branches here, because it is more convenient to raise funds next to Wall Street, and Miramax simply sets its headquarters here.

Speaking of this, after Hoberg and Chicareli got out, Miramax quickly sent another producer to come. This time the other party did not make any small moves, and honestly dealt with finance-related matters. Look

He gave up when he went up. Sean could only pray like this now. Otherwise, if he did this again, although he was not afraid, the impact would probably be very bad.

The outdoor scene in New York is quite smooth. Sean has played musical instruments for a while and has served as the lead singer in his classmate's band. He can't say how good he is to be a little piano, but it's okay to fool him in front of the camera.

of.

Five or six days later, the crew set off for Italy, and the exterior was the top priority. In fact, after a preliminary understanding of the operation of the movie, Sean felt that some shots could be handled in the studio, such as Lei.

Priley and Meredith go shopping, or Dick’s father comes to Venice to deal with his son’s affairs, and Ripley and Dick and Freddy attend parties, etc.

Just like shooting scenes in a yacht and a boat in a pool, the props make the set, pull up green curtains around, and add the scenery in the later stage, which should save a lot of money. However, director Mingla is obviously a

Realisticians are said to have wanted to film the Sahara Desert a few years ago when filming "The Patient in the UK", but after several persuasion and field investigation, they were indeed not suitable, so they changed to Egypt and Morocco. Similarly, if it weren't for the sea storm.

It's big and it's hard to wait for the right weather. Maybe the few shots on the yacht will also be shot on the spot.

"Real scenes have the benefits of real scenes, right? At least, when I saw the scenes you walked outside the Roman Forum from the director, I felt very beautiful." Kate said this when talking about this in his spare time.

"Indeed, the real scene is more realistic than CG after all." Sean nodded.

Well, if Mingera hadn't insisted on going out to Italy, and there were so many places - look at the list, from Rome to Venice to Positano, Naples, it would have almost finished a few famous cities.

If you choose post-production synthesis, you will definitely save a lot, so maybe you will not lack the pay for well-known actors and you will have no chance.

"Okay, let's get to this day." After filming two scenes of Ripley shopping with Meredith as Dick, the foreman announced that today's work was over.

Look at the time. Although the scene was taken at night, it was actually only around 5 pm. Although the clouds were thick, the sky was still bright. This is the magic of the movie. By adjusting the aperture and using special lenses,

Various settings of the lighting engineer can capture the effect of night during the day.

"How about going to have a cup of coffee together?" After removing his makeup and changing his clothes, Sean walked over and asked this question by chance.

"Hmm?" Kate was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised.

"You know, this is my first time acting in a movie, my first time as a leading actor, and before that, I was just an unknown newcomer and had no friends on the crew. You are the one who talked to me the most among everyone.

I am very grateful, so I always wanted to invite you to have a cup of coffee. However, when I was in Los Angeles, you seemed to have a lot of things to deal with and always left early, but now in Rome, I think I should have a chance."

Sean made such a nonsense.

Kate blinked, as if surprised, but then laughed: "Okay, I always wanted to try Italian coffee."

"No, no, no, you are talking too heavily. I would rather think of it as Kundera putting hope, or part of hope, on the surface, and when people read the end and sigh, they will be able to reminisce about the ease and casualness of the light when they are sighing at the end

Get comfort." Kate, sitting at the round table, repeatedly objected to Sean's opinion on the street where the street lights began to light up.

"You see, that's why I don't want to talk about contemporary writers," Sean immediately spread his hands, "Sometimes, a person or an author, should his achievements and status be in what position should be, only in his death

Only then can we truly confirm it. As long as he is still alive, there will be changes. For example, the few novels Kundera published in the past few years have dropped a lot."

"You are playing tricks, look at my mouth and play tricks!" Although Kate said that, he kept giggling and was quite happy.

"Okay, if you want to think so, then think so." Sean shrugged, looked helplessly, and looked around, "Okay, it's a bit late, I'll send you back.

”

Their cafe is not far from the hotel they are staying at, and they arrive in a few minutes. One of them lives on the 5th floor and the other on the 6th floor. They broke up after the elevator arrived.

"Have you come back from a date? How do you feel?" Garen, who was staying in the hotel room, asked with a smile, "I also said I would not date a woman over ten years older than me."

"Shut up," Sean glared at him, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

"You have been talking for so long, but you haven't had dinner yet?"
Chapter completed!
