Chapter 753 Perfection is not only about control
In the Western world, swans are a complex and strange image that can represent purity, but they are also the embodiment of carnal sensuality. Zeus, the king of gods, was fascinated by the beauty of Lida, the wife of Sparta King Tindareus, and became a swan with her wild combination. The swan's snow-white **, soft long neck, soft and smooth feathers, and a full and fleshy body can also be regarded as a combination of women's sexual characteristics.
Another symbol of the swan is the poetic and beautiful embodiment of the artistic workers.
As early as before the release of "Transformers", Natalie passed on a revised script of "Black Swan" to Ryan. The original script was just written by Ryan based on his memory and his understanding of the film. With his attitude towards literary and artistic films, some private goods are inevitably included.
Relatively speaking, Natalie, who has received sufficient support from Ryan and does not need to consider the market too much, can examine this story with a more fair perspective. The heroine Nina is a mental illness patient, and Natalie herself is a top student who graduated from clinical psychology at Harvard University, and she must have her own understanding of this aspect.
When the two were on the phone, Natalie once told him that she had returned to Harvard with this script, specifically consulted her mentor about the psychological problems, and then made some modifications.
The biggest change is the black swan. After Natalie's changes, the black swan is not a complete symbol of evil. It represents **, struggle, no cowardice, no concealment, and no suppression of all desires.
"Nate."
Scarlett walked behind the camera, "Will I take the camera for you next?"
"Can you?" Ryan took care of his gray shirt so that he could look more like an art director.
"Don't underestimate people, Ryan?" Scarlett said dissatisfiedly, "I have studied with Nat for a long time, and there must be no problem being an assistant director."
"Okay, you two."
After a walk around this temporarily arranged office, Natalie confirmed that there was no problem and walked back. "Ska, pay attention to the camera angle. Ryan, prepare for the next scene."
After saying that, she clapped everyone in the room, "Everyone cheer up and prepare to start shooting!"
After previewing with Ryan, he walked to the office door opposite the camera. Natalie looked at him and suddenly asked, "Is it better to spread my hair?"
"What?" Ryan raised his head. Natalie's long brown hair was neatly tied behind her head.
"The bun symbolizes abstinence and strict self-discipline." Natalie took off the bun without waiting for Ryan to answer, and broke off her neat long hair. "Nina intends to use the charm of gender that she has long ignored and makes her last try. She actually realizes that she is beautiful, but she has never been hyped up and used."
Spreading his hands to Natalie, Ryan didn't say anything more.
"start!"
When Ryan and Natalie were ready, Scarlett's crisp sound came from behind the camera. The two immediately entered the state.
“It may not be right now.”
The cautious girl followed the artistic director into the office, and Thomas, played by Ryan, nodded slightly, "It's okay."
Walking into the office that was actually just separated by props, Ryan casually threw away the documents in his hand. Sitting at the desk, looking at Natalie.
"I just want to tell you." The girl's voice was always depressed and timid, and her eyes were also dodging. "I practiced the black swan clip last night. I've practiced it."
Ryan just nodded, but said nothing.
Natalie's eyes flashed again, as if there was a little more courage. "I think you should know..."
"Nina, listen." Ryan interrupted her directly, "To be honest, I don't care about your skills..."
"I think you should know..."
"Needless to say." Ryan interrupted the girl again, "We have chosen the others."
Ryan walked over, patted Natalie's face gently, and opened the door, "Sorry, Nina."
"Okay, thank you." The girl's voice was almost undetectable.
She walked out of the door. When she was about to walk out of the door, Ryan suddenly closed the door and stopped her.
"Is that all?" he looked at her tilted his head, "You won't try to make me change my mind? You must think that's possible, otherwise what are you doing here?"
"I'll do it..." the girl hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll ask you to let me play this role."
"Is that?" Ryan turned around and walked back, pulled over a chair and sat on it. "The truth is, when I see you, I only see white swans. You are beautiful, Nina."
Then he changed his voice, "But you are like a white swan, timid and fragile, and the difficulty of a black swan is that both of these characters must be played well."
"I can play the black swan well." She finally looked here.
"Really? I don't think so." Ryan used a tone of telling the truth. "For the years, every time you dance, I only saw you jump carefully every step. I have never seen you release your feelings, never!"
"What are these trainings for?" he asked again.
"I just want to pursue perfection." The girl's eyes fell again.
"So…" Ryan shook his head, "Perfection is not just control, it also requires release of emotions."
"You need to break through yourself and surprise the audience."
Ryan said and walked over, regardless of the girl opposite him whispered, lifted her chin and kissed her heavily on the other person's lips.
The next moment, he felt a severe pain coming from his lips, and quickly broke free from Natalie, but still controlled himself, "You bite me? I can't believe you bite me!"
"sorry."
After another low voice, Natalie opened the door and turned around and ran away in a hurry.
“cut!”
Just as Scarlett Johnson called to stop, Ryan immediately wiped his lower lips and could see blood.
"Hey, Nat."
Looking at Natalie walking in, Ryan couldn't help but illuminate her fingers with a light red stain, "You actually bite me!"
"Sorry, Ryan." Natalie hurried over and raised her feet to look at her, "I was just in the show, but just subconsciously took a bite."
"I don't think you're going to mind, right?" She was very smart.
"It doesn't matter."
Ryan couldn't say anything. He followed Natalie to the back of the monitor, watched the female director and Scarlett pull out the shot they just shot, and watched it very seriously.
"You are all quickly getting into the show." Scarlett hugged his chest with his hands, "I didn't expect this shot to pass in one shot. I think you should work together as male and female protagonists in a movie."
"Let's just be here today!"
Natalie ignored Scarlett's words and instead asked her assistant to convey the news of her work.
Ryan went directly to the dressing room to remove his makeup and change back to his clothes. After coming out, he waited in the lounge for a while. Natalie and Scarlett walked over together. The three of them left the theater and took the RV toward Manhattan.
"Ska."
Looking at the little fat girl sitting opposite, Ryan asked, "I remember the filming of "Iron Man 2" is also about to start?"
"After the Oscars," Scarlett closed the flip phone he was holding, "The filming of "Black Swan" would definitely be completed at that time."
"Even if it can't be done." Natalie seemed to be inconsistent, "I will finish your scene first."
"This is not the Nat I know." Scarlett joked on purpose, "The Nat I know is always full of confidence."
"Nina is the most complicated character I have encountered." Natalie made a gesture that you understand, "Once I'm in a bad state, the shooting progress will definitely slow down."
"You are in good shape today." Ryan pulled her hand and patted her gently, "It's really like that white swan."
"Yes..." Scarlett nodded in agreement. ", the bite you bite hard is simply wonderful."
Hearing these unreliable words, Ryan couldn't help but glar at her.
"Do you understand it this way? Scarlett?" Natalie showed confusion at the same time when Ryan and Scarlett were seen, and briefly explained, "Nina at the beginning was like a white swan without resistance. She was light and fragile. Yes, such Nina might be really beautiful."
"She is elegant and graceful, with a beautiful attraction. She is too thin, hard, and has a timid expression, and is terrified."
Speaking of this, Natalie suddenly looked at Ryan, "From a psychological point of view, no one wants to be stiff and timid."
"So what kind of body do we want to have with?"
Of course, Scarlett Johnson is the one who can ask such a question, "Nate?"
If it were more than ten years ago, Ryan might have been a little unnatural if he had a female friend discussing this issue in person, but over the years, he had long been used to this straightforward lifestyle.
Natalie said directly, "The cultural and artistic works of mankind for thousands of years provide us with countless erotic visual answers, symbolizing the Salome who danced in front of Herod, the French Rococo painter Boucher, the arrogant and cute little lady in the painting of Angle, the great palace maid exudes milky body fragrance, and the Siren who seduces sailors in Waterhouse's paintings..."
"There are also paintings depicting the Romans taking a group bath and carnival throughout the whole audience." Scarlett seemed inspired and took Natalie's words, "This is simply a classical version of the masterpiece of the San Fernando Valley!"
"Dears." Ryan couldn't help coughing, "Remind you, you've deviated from the topic."
"So, according to my understanding and setting." Natalie turned the topic back, ", he forced her to kiss her to stimulate Nina's wildness and let her show the other side of the black swan, the real side!"
"A great dancer can't just let the audience watch you off the stage, you have to make them fall in love with you."
Ryan thought, "So, is the line you added to Thomas based on this consideration?"
Chapter completed!
