Chapter 116 (1/2)

Fox Studios.

It's the end of July. Katherine Bigelow enters a studio in the studio, greets her acquaintances, and soon finds Simon speaking for Robert De Niro and Janet Johnston.

Today's film is an interaction between Butch Coolidge and Esmeralda veralobos, a taxi driver.

In order to let the actors concentrate on the performance, except for the beginning and the end, the rest of the plot is shot in the studio. In the original film, the street view outside the window is obviously a big screen projection.

Simon gave Janet her favorite role as a taxi driver. These days, women are preparing very carefully. When Catherine learned of this, she agreed to come to visit the crew today and see how her best friend, who had never been in front of the camera, performed.

See Simon several people are busy, Catherine did not come forward to disturb, just nodded to notice their own characteristics of Jennie, first sit down in the rest area, casually chatting with the film producer Laura zekins.

Ron McMillan, who worked with Simon in ”Lola Run,” was sent to be the producer of ”death is coming.”. This time, Orion film recommended Laura zegins to come.

Laura zegins, a blonde in her thirties, has just helped Orion complete the movie spy Navy soul starring Kevin Costner and Sean young, which will be released next month.

Just after they had a few words of conversation, Simon and Janet came over together.

After hugging Katherine intimately, Janet raised her arms and twirled in front of the woman: ”Kate, what's up?”

Catherine looked at Janet's Pajama like loose red robe with flower and bird print and her fluffy, lazy brown hair, and said, ”it's weird.”

Janet smiled and shook himself, showing the naked feet of white broad leg pants on the next month. ”I feel the same way, but I think the bad ass is right.”

Simon looked at herself inquisitively and explained, ”in fact, I'd like to use a completely red one. Red stands for danger, and in the supernatural stories of the East, women dressed in red at night are usually not human beings, but very dangerous ghosts. ”

Katherine felt Simon's eyes coming up, subconsciously dodged a little, and said, ”why don't you use that?”

Simon said with a smile: ”because this is a black comedy, rashly adding surreal elements will interfere with the style of the whole film.”

Laura zegins, who had just been standing beside the three and listening quietly, heard Simon say this and said, ”Simon, in that case, what about the things in that suitcase? You haven't explained in the script what that golden thing is. It feels like there is something in it that shouldn't exist in reality. ”

”It's just an egg for the audience to guess,” Simon shook his head. ”Since no one knows what's in the box, it won't affect the plot of the movie.”

Several people were chatting. The deputy director came over and said that he could start shooting again. Then everyone walked towards a car model in front of the projection screen not far away. De Niro and Janet enter the car and start burying. Simon checks again, makes an OK gesture to the deputy director, and then operates the camera himself.

Of course, the film hired a full-time photographer, but when it comes to Janet's part, Simon decided to come by himself with little consideration.

When Simon is ready, the projection on the big screen and the car model work at the same time to simulate the state of the taxi.

”All set.”

”Vulgar fiction, scene 26, the third time.”

“Action！”

The field board is down.

Inside, Robert De Niro began to tear off his injured gloves. Janet in the front row, with one hand on the steering wheel, showed a little vigilance and curiosity in her expression, and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.

A moment later, Janet spoke in a soft waxy accent that she had practiced for weeks.

”Sir Hey, Mister? ”

”Why?”

”You were in that fight, right? That fight on the radio. You're the boxer?”

”What makes you think that?”

”You are him. I know you are him. Tell me, you are him! ”

behind the camera.

At the end of the performance, Simon raised his head and made a sign to the crowd: ”card.”

Everyone, stop.

Simon got to the open car and gave DeNiro a good look. Then he said to Janet, ”Jennie, tell me you're him.” I want to see your excitement, a kind of tension that suppresses your inner madness. ”

Janet pauses, looks in the rearview mirror, slightly changes her mood, and repeats her lines: ”tell me, you're him!””Almost,” Simon said, shaking his head and thinking, ”by the way, hold your breath. Hold your breath when you say that.”

Janet took a breath, looked in the rearview mirror again, and repeated, ”tell me, you're him!”
