Chapter 326 Helen, who are you listening to?(2/2)
Christy McNichol's relationship is much deeper than her relationship with Herbert Ross. Herbert Ross was originally Streisand's choreographer, and most of the Broadway actors belong to this group.
circle.
And Kristy McNichol is not unknown. She was also a child star. In 1980, she starred in the hit comedy "Little Darlings" with Tatum O'Neal, who was also a child star.
)".
It's a pity that her appearance and acting skills are not as good as those of Tatum O'Neal and Jodie Foster, two actors with the same background as child stars, so she has not had many opportunities.
However, one of the two competitors had no acting roles after graduating from Yale, and the other did not get a good teenage role and successfully transitioned. He just married American tennis player McEnroe last month and temporarily retired from the entertainment industry.
Instead, this opportunity fell on her head.
It seems that as long as you stay in the entertainment industry long enough, you still have a chance to get one or two big productions.
"I'm not going anywhere, just sit with me for a while." Ronald put his arm around Helen, and the two of them sat in the empty screening room.
"Let them show the movie again," Ronald told the Touchstone staff.
"Even if I fail, I still have to find out what is wrong with my shooting." Ronald has always been persistent in professional matters.
The lights dimmed again, and only Ronald and Helen started watching the movie from the beginning.
Helen plays a female kidnapper. Her and her husband's patented invention was stolen by a rich man's son-in-law played by Danny DeVito. After making a fortune, they wanted to get back what they deserved by kidnapping the rich girl.
Half a million patents.
"Tsk..." Ronald sighed when he saw the scene on the screen where Helen wore Huey and Dewey's duck mask and kidnapped the rich girl into her home.
It seems that any movie that has anything to do with Donald Duck and his family has bad luck. Lucas's Howard the Duck has basically failed, and it has also implicated two Universal executives.
The rhythm of the movie is a bit unlike a traditional Zach comedy. And Helen's performance is particularly different from others. Pay attention to her performance this time, which made Ronald, who is used to watching classic Hollywood movies, feel a little bit out of place.
.
Then the rich girl was arrogant in the basement, and Helen played the role of a frustrated little daughter-in-law. Instead, she was conquered by the rich girl. She did not dare to abuse the hostage too much, but fried steak for her.
"Tsk..." When Ronald heard her lines, it also gave people a strong sense of stage drama, which was very dramatic.
Helen saw that every time she appeared, spoke, or made any physical movements, Ronald would make a tsk sound, and she was frightened.
"Did I really do such a bad job? What did Ronald want to say by leaving me here?"
She looked at the screen, and indeed when she watched it for the second time, she felt that she was out of place with the other people's relaxed acting style.
"Hmm..." Helen panicked, holding Ronald's arm and burying her head on his chest. She didn't dare to look at the screen, and she didn't want Ronald to comment on her acting skills anymore.
"Did I ruin the whole movie? Woohoo..."
"Turn on the lights..." Ronald raised his hand and told the staff to pause the screening.
"Don't panic, honey. I think I've found the problem."
"Where?"
Helen, whose almond-shaped eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, looked at Ronald with tears in her eyes.
"When you were performing, were you listening to yourself talking?" Ronald called the staff and asked him to replay the clip of Helen talking.
"Me?" Helen looked at her performance on the screen and thought for a moment.
"Yes, I am very nervous. Director Jerry Zucker is a well-known comedy director. I asked him for advice on the mentality of many characters, the highest task, and what tone should be used in the performance."
"No wonder, every time you read your lines, you always pay attention to your tone, stress, and intonation, so that your lines are a little different from how normal people should speak."
"What does a normal person talk like?" Helen no longer dared to ignore Ronald's opinion. She also felt that there was a big gap between her performance and the protagonists.
"When normal people speak, they always pay attention to what others say, rather than what they say. Maybe in the future, you should allocate more attention to the opponent actors instead of thinking about how you should say your lines to fit the role."
"Is that so?" Helen was stunned for a moment. How could she not pay attention to such a simple thing?
"Yes, you have taken more acting classes than me. You should have heard that acting is about acting out reactions."
"Acting is acting out reactions."
Helen Slater murmured to herself, and then burst into laughter. The real trick is sometimes as simple as being revealed by her lover in one sentence. It’s ridiculous that she has taken so many acting training classes.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that she had a few scenes, and she didn't pay too much attention to how she should act, but instead looked more natural.
Helen hugged Ronald hard and gave him a sweet kiss.
