"I accidentally saw the statement from his American Express credit card yesterday."

"What do you mean accidentally?"

In a bookstore in New York, the camera is quietly capturing the conversation between Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher.

Sally, played by Meg Ryan, has changed her hairstyle to easy-to-manage curly hair. Another five years have passed, and the time in the movie plot has come to 1987, which is very close to the present. She is older again.

Five-year-old Sally has lost many of her fantasies and turned them into reality.

Her clothes no longer blindly follow the styles in popular magazines like she did when she was young, but are practical and have her own style. A red turtleneck hollow woven floral sweater with a dark brown suede jacket on top.

The glasses she finally found were placed on the bridge of Sally's nose.

Carrie Fisher plays Sally's best friend, Mary. She has short hair and a loose brown and green patterned sweater jacket, making her look like an ordinary middle-aged woman. No one can tell how sexy she is.

A few years ago, she was the sex idol of all American high school students, Princess Leia, who danced in front of Jabba in a bikini.

With Ronald sitting behind the camera, Carrie Fisher seems to have written all of her personal emotional experiences with Paul Simon in the past few years into the role of Mary. Paul Simon also maintained a relationship with her for a period of time without breaking up.

In Proposal, Fisher performed Mary's pain very well.

"I saw it in his briefcase when he was taking a shower," Mary wanted to confide in Sally.

"Are you crazy? What would he think if he came out and saw you looking through his bag?" Sally felt bad about her friend's behavior.

"It's not important... I just want to tell you what I found. He spent one hundred and twenty dollars to buy a silk nightgown for his wife. I don't think he will leave her..."

"No one thought he would leave his wife..."

"You're right, you're right..." Mary walked aside. Her friend's true words were still irritating. She picked up a book and read it, hoping to escape this discomfort.

An extra member of the cast walked past, and Carrie Fisher raised her head and looked in the direction of the camera.

"Cut! Very good, very good..." Ronald praised Carrie Fisher. The expression that told her lover that he would not leave his wife to give him an explanation was full of pain and disappointment. Ronald did not know that Carrie Fisher

Princess Ya is so good at acting.

"Will I be nominated for an Oscar?" Carrie Fisher pretended to be happy and asked Ronald hopefully. If an actress plays Ronald's movie, the chance of receiving various awards and recognition from critics is very high.

.

"I don't know, maybe you can tell me?" Ronald thought to himself, how do I know this?

"Hahaha..." Carrie Fisher is actually a straightforward person. She didn't ask any questions and went to enjoy the snacks and coffee provided by the crew.

"It's not impossible to say that it's not possible. It may not be an Oscar, but there is still a chance for a star-hungry award like the Golden Globe." Ronald thought this way.

He handled the filming of this movie and deliberately used some innovative techniques and lens language to deliberately distinguish it from traditional Hollywood commercial films. For example, just now, Carrie Fisher looked directly into the camera, which is a taboo in traditional Hollywood.

Hollywood's lens language theory believes that the camera is a tool for objectively recording drama, and looking directly at the camera is equivalent to acting out the drama. While Mary was reading, she discovered a man peeking at Sally, Harry, whom she had not seen for five years.

Using traditional lens language, here it must be a 45-degree over-the-shoulder shot to explain Harry's peeping. But Ronald feels that the technique is for expression and service, looking directly at the camera. As long as the editing is done properly, the audience will also

You can feel Mary's emotions when she discovers Harry, and this discomfort is amplified and resonates because of this direct face to the camera scene.

This method of positively expressing character communication is relatively common in Japanese movies. For example, Kurosawa Akira and Ozu Yasujirō, the films do not care about the arrangement of the axis law at all, and there is no difficulty for the audience to understand.

"Billy... I want a comedy version of Jack Nicholson from The Shining...", Ronald asked Billy Crystal.

For a comedian with such skillful acting skills, the director only needs to propose the desired effect and give him a reference.

"Comedy version, The Shining, got it." Billy Crystal covered his face with a book, then half-hidden behind the bookshelf in a creepy manner.

"That's the smell..."

Soon, the filming continued. More than five years later, Harry met Sally again. This time Mary thought he was a bit handsome. She heard about his career as a political consultant and was very interested in getting to know him.

Sally said that Harry was married, but after Mary's questioning, she confessed that Harry had said that he was getting married more than five years ago, and in America, it is very common to be divorced after five years.

Sally continued to evade, not wanting to meet Harry again, so she said that Harry must not recognize her.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Harry had already walked up to her and said, "Hi, Sally Albright, I thought it was you..."

Carrie Fisher will disappear quickly and automatically...

"Cut!"

Mary has realized that Harry has a special bond with her friend Sally, and she has no hope of competing with her, so Harry simply leaves.

The camera turned an angle and filmed Harry and Sally's reunion from another direction.

"How are you?"

"Very good, I'm fine..."

"How's Joe?"

"He's not bad either. I heard he's good."

"You and Joe broke up?"

"We just broke up..."

"Cut!" Ronald directed the camera to turn 180 degrees and continue filming the conversation from behind Harry.

"I'm so sorry to hear that...so terrible."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yeah...yeah..." Sally smiled bitterly, her expression sad, but she didn't want to show too much sadness in front of Harry, "So, you

How about it?"

"I'm fine, pretty good..."

"How is life after marriage?"

"..." Harry's expression also became sad, "It's not good, I'm getting a divorce."

"I'm sorry, that's too bad".

"Yeah...so, what's going on with you?"

"Cut!"

Ten years after their first meeting, both Harry and Sally have become very practical and have been tempered and matured by life. During the difficult moments in their respective lives, they both found an old friend who they could confide in, and they immediately became familiar with each other and made an appointment to go out for dinner.

Talk about the failures of their respective love lives.

"That's it for today..." Ronald once again announced the end of work on time. The filming ended at the weekend, and he had to go back to spend time with his family, as did the two leading actors.

"Great, I have to catch a flight and go back to be with Dennis (Quaid). Goodbye..." Meg Ryan didn't want to leave her boyfriend for too long, so in the contract, the crew reimbursed the business class air tickets to go back on weekends.

"Bye..." Billy Crystal also rushed home to spend time with his family.

After Ronald said goodbye to them, he returned to Staten Island with Little Bud. The plot of this movie unfolded in New York, and most of the scenes were indoors. Ronald entrusted all the trivial matters to the assistant director, and he was like a

Just like white-collar workers, they can go home and rest on weekends.

Such a film shooting schedule makes Ronald very comfortable. Of course, this is the treatment only a great director can get, otherwise he would not have the ability to equip such a capable crew.

…

"Ronald, you are becoming more and more like a family man now." The whole family gathered for dinner on Friday night, and little Douglas came to join in the fun.

"Doug, you are treating this place more and more as your own home..." Ronald hit little Douglas lightly with his fist. This guy would not go back to his own home, so he liked to come to his aunt's house for dinner.

"Hey, you know, it's not fun for a big family to eat together, but the atmosphere in your family is better, don't you think so, Donna?"

"Who wants dessert?" Aunt Karen went to get the pudding.

"How's the election going now?" As the week went by, George Sr.'s advertisements attacking Dukakis came out one after another. In addition to attacking him for ruining the water quality of Boston Harbor, they also brought in ads about him himself.

Some newspapers began to attack Dukakis as being mentally unstable and having been admitted to a mental hospital before. His wife, Kitty, had burned an American flag to protest the Vietnam War.

These rumors were not groundless. The source was Idaho Elephant Party Senator Steve Sims. Because these attacks were so vicious and despicable, George Sr. did not speak out himself. Instead, he adopted the tactics often used in the campaign.

The practice of letting another person speak out and then placing an advertisement through the action committee quoting that person's statement.

"The attack on George Jr.'s side has no effect. On the contrary, some middle-of-the-road voters think this statement is too bizarre. Kitty Dukakis is not Jane Fonda and will not burn the flag to protest the war."

Little Douglas and Ronald lowered their voices and whispered.

"Why don't you go to the study to chat later? We are still having dinner." Donna protested. After finally being reunited as a family, the two of them were still chatting.

"Okay..." Ronald raised his hands in surrender. After finishing the dessert and hugging Aunt Karen to thank her for the dinner, Ronald went to the study to chat with little Doug.

"Little George estimates that in about two weeks, Barbara will no longer stick to the attack strategy and switch to your communication strategy."

"It's not mine, it's Roger Ailes's." Ronald didn't want to get too involved in the campaign.

"As long as little George thinks so..."

The two of them still adhered to the original strategy. After winning the election, they were just two donors. It would be difficult to meet the commander-in-chief. It was more important to have a good relationship with George.

"Ronald...your assistant director is looking for you...", Donna came over and knocked on the door, gesturing for Ronald to pick up the phone.

"I told them that I was going to spend the weekend. There might be something urgent." Ronald picked up the phone receiver.

"Let's go, this is the director's private matter..." Little Douglas stood up and motioned for Donna to go with him. All kinds of things in the crew were also very gossipy, so Ronald was asked to resolve such matters within the confines of the crew.

"I heard you did a good job in the fund?" Douglas Jr. chatted with Donna.

"Mr. Simmons' formula still has some room for fine-tuning, but our operation is still good..."

“Can mathematics really be used to trade stocks?”
