Kapitel 234: How to make a love movie.
A love movie is a shared challenge between a man and a woman that must be ironized in less than two hours, three for Titanic. A love story that convinces the audience, and hypnotizes them, with its argumentative structure to a few who prefer the circle of romance, the renegades who deny otherwise, do not respond to the fact that love movies are at most, movies made to empathize with couples, from those seeking love, others who watch with interest, and even some who reject it but see in movies an idea of romantic love that attracts at first sight.
Billy rested on Julie's legs, paying attention only to the soft sound; Julie's humming was enough for Billy to hear and for others not to hear.
-What's that song? - Billy asked.
-AC/DC, - said Julie.
-You're crazy, - Billy replied, amused to think the song was something more romantic and endearing than that rock song, pure rock, speakers in the air. Sometimes Julie always surprised him with ideas that were beyond his imagination, from some strange foods, street restaurants, street stalls, and vintage shops, they had done everything, even the clothing was second-hand, in a clothing store in France. At an economical price, they washed it with boiling water before using it.
-I'm educating you; you should know about the good music you're missing. Tomorrow it'll be Bob Marley, - said Julie, tracing Billy's eyebrows with her finger, giving him a shiver; the small movement brought a smile to Julie's face.
They continued in peace; Billy decided to read his thick book on medieval history. He found three gigantic tomes on medieval history collected in a dusty corner; they were books that caught his attention the most because of the images, in the form of an encyclopedia, the size was a bit larger than a pocketbook; he dedicated himself to a thorough investigation of the Middle Ages, reading with Julie, in cafes or before going to bed.
-We're here, - said Julie, seeing the train stop; the location gave a desire that they would have 45 minutes to perform a scene, with two people who were bordering on demanding, it was a complete challenge.
-Take 1. Scene 3, - said Richard.
The recording begins; they both look at each other with a certain intensity; Billy evokes Julie's thoughts, topless; he doesn't know why he did it, but his eyes applied a look that pleased the cameras.
[Two exclamation points]
The system message didn't distract him, but it did make him lose his thoughts like a raft adrift, Julie's eyes raised an eyebrow at the lack of dialogue, but Richard loved the scene, and made a brief movement to focus on Billy.
-I have a pretty crazy thought. If I don't ask you this, it'll be one of those things that haunt me forever, - said Billy/Jessi.
-What? - said Julie, she was inhibited by Billy's gaze, it was a hungry look.
He simply moved a bit closer, closer, Julie tried to move back but only managed to lean closer to the chair.
-I want to keep talking to you. I mean, I have no idea what your situation is, but I feel some kind of... connection, - said Billy/Jessi.
-I do too, - replied Celine.
-So, how about this? Okay, well... I want you to get off in Vienna with me. We can take a look around the city, - added Billy/Jessi.
-So what would we do? - said Celine.
-I don't know. All I know is that tomorrow morning, I'll be taking a flight on Austria Airlines at nine-thirty, and I can't afford a hotel, and we'll probably be wandering around all night. If I turn out to be a psychopath, you can run away at any time and catch the next train back, right? - said Billy, gesturing with his hands, lightening the matter, that a girl he just met would run away with him, following the script perfectly.
She continues to think, Julie/Celine tries to look at distress. Billy tries to get more into character, imagining that if Celine doesn't accept, he'll feel very depressed, very sad, and very lonely.
-Think of it this way, life moves on, you get married, this. Move ten, twenty years. Your marriage just doesn't have the same energy anymore. You start blaming your husband. You think of all the guys you've met and all the ones you never pursued and how things could have been different if you had gone out with one of them. Well, I'm one of them. You can consider this traveling back in time, to see what you're missing. Look, this is a big favor for both you and your future husband: it's an opportunity to check that you haven't missed anything. That I'm as boring and demotivated as he is, hopefully, more so, - said Jessie.
Following the dialogue.
-I'm not sure I've understood the whole story, but let me grab my bag, - replied Julie.
-Cut, - said the director, the small team of assistants raised their thumbs in agreement, everything perfectly.
-We'll redo the shot, this time, from Julie's side. I want you to add some improvised shots at the end of the speech; we'll see if it's worth adding some more suspense, - said the director.
It was one of the exercises; Billy performed a scene with Julie, following the script perfectly, and they performed another scene, this time, playing with the art of improvisation.
-Give me a few seconds, - said Julie, thinking about the scene and how to improve it; she felt that Billy was a great actor, not just a passing one, he was a great actor, a rich kid with a director uncle and most likely a producer father, but it didn't take away from his acting talent.
-Is everything okay, Julie? - Billy asked.
-Nothing, I'm just refreshing my work, - said Julie. Billy was a method artist, but he also followed many steps from the English school, playing with his posture, and idealizing the character in his way, adding details imitated from others, not necessarily part of the method. Billy not only worked hard but also had a system that helped; it was almost double the work, but it was worth it, as he developed such skill.
Contrary to her work with Mili, who sought competition, Julie retreated and immersed herself in projecting the role she wanted to play. Once challenged, Julie was depressed.
Julie came with a determined look after ten minutes; the performance promised. The next scene was repeated due to a graphic error.
-Scene 3. Take 3, - said Richard.
-I have a pretty crazy thought. If I don't ask you this, it'll be one of those things that haunt me forever, - said Billy/Jessi.
-What? - said Julie, responding with equal intensity to Billy's gaze; her large eyes turned slightly reddish.
He simply moved a bit closer, closer, Julie moved closer to him. The change was subtle but noticeable, with evident force, how Julie wanted to integrate herself into Billy's essence, crossing Billy's posture with hers to compact the scene.
-I want to keep talking to you. I mean, I have no idea what your situation is, but I feel some kind of... connection, - said Jessi.
-I do too, - replied Celine.
-So, how about this? Okay, well... I want you to get off in Vienna with me. We can take a look around the city, - added Billy/Jessi.
-So what would we do? - said Celine.
-I don't know. All I know is that tomorrow morning, I'll be taking a flight on Austria Airlines at nine-thirty, and I can't afford a hotel, and we'll probably be wandering around all night. If I turn out to be a psychopath, you can run away at any time and catch the next train back, right? - said Billy, gesturing with his hands, lightening the matter, that a girl he just met would run away with him, following the script perfectly.
She continues to think; Julie/Celine tries to look at distress. Billy tries to get more into the role, imagining that if Celine doesn't accept, he'll feel very depressed, very sad, and very lonely.
-Think of it this way, life moves on, you get married, this. Move ten, twenty years. Your marriage just doesn't have the same energy anymore. You start blaming your husband. You think of all the guys you've met and all the ones you never pursued and how things could have been different if you had gone out with one of them. Well, I'm one of them.

Look, this is a big favor for both you and your future husband: it's an opportunity to check that you haven't missed anything. That I'm as boring and demotivated as he is, hopefully, more so, - said Jessie.
Julie made a gesture that the camera could only capture. Helpless.
-.You can, although I didn't understand the story, we can do what you're asking for, - replied Julie.
-I'll do my best, - said Jessi, almost wanting to hit himself at the overly cheesy and foolish line.
Julie could only laugh a little.
-Cut, - said Richard.
Billy let out a sigh; he was holding his breath while acting. Julie knew at that moment that Billy's intensity would continue throughout the shoot; it was something she couldn't overlook; it was his method; it was an intensity of immersing himself in the role; he seemed like a lovestruck boy. Very much in love.
-Let's do the last take. We have ten minutes; I hope you follow the words from the last take; you have them, - Richard asked.
-I'll do the best I can, - said Julie, preparing for another acting journey that she knew was pushing her to the limit; it was the first time in her films that she found such a vibe, such power, to attack, in an actor. She had encountered it before, of course, but not against her.
That was stealing the scene. That was what the actors said, that one person dominated the scene, Billy dominated it, directing his character, even though she wouldn't doubt that Richard focused more on him than on her. That doesn't matter! What matters is that she's being overtaken, crossed in her field—thought Julie.

Kapitel 235: in the best Viennese style
Jim Gianopulus's work was consistent; alongside Raimon and Armand Millester, they organized the entire place. Jim's presence lent credibility to the company; he had cultivated relationships at Fox and his most experienced work was in independent cinema. Moreover, he had a connection with the Sundance Film Festival. Quickly, all the details in North America were settled so fast that Armand and Raimon's work seemed futile.
-I think it was Anne's best hire. Leave me the numbers, but dealing with pompous people isn't my thing, - said Raimon.
-We do what we can, kid. It wasn't always this way. The person I am now is different from when I started my university career. I was younger and made many mistakes; I looked up and couldn't solve things easily. Reports were one of my big problems, son. Don't let that stop you. Now I have the perspective to lead a steadily growing company as a director and executive, answering only to the owner. I wanted success, and now I feel successful, - said Jim Gianopulus, patting Raimon, knowing that closeness, not disinterested advice, was all he needed throughout his life. His father advised him and wasn't ashamed of who he was and what he did.
-I hope so. Billy has many goals. There was that time we drank beer, and he said, 'I can go beyond just creating a simple company. In five years, we'll be competing for our place in the industry. First will be animation, then documentaries, followed by television series, and finally, movies,' -Raimon repeated, recounting an anecdote he only told to trusted people. His chubby arms moved up and down; he wore a new gray watch.
-It sounds like a bold assertion. Do you think it's possible to achieve what young Billy is claiming in the next five years? Don't tell anyone, but I even reduced my salary with the perspective of the company, directing my project, creative freedom, guiding the company, having a voice in my annotations, and of course, continuing to learn, - said Jim.
-100% with all my heart. Billy will achieve it; there's no doubt about that, - said Raimon.
So sure of Billy's success that it made an impression on Jim Gianopulus.

August 24
Vienna was an ancient place. The halls were lined with thick stone or concrete walls. They had taken numerous walks around Vienna, mapping out a route. For now, they were just getting used to organizing their time. Now the weather was turning colder; at night, you could feel the cold freezing your bones. Billy wasn't a fan of cold weather, and it showed as his body shivered every minute.
-I think just having a leather jacket as my only attire doesn't suit me, - said Billy.
-The Californian climate isn't as healthy as you think. You've become weak to the weather. Now we have to improvise for the next shot; there's a blanket store around here. I could use buying a blanket, - said Julie.
They had been filming for fifteen days, and the interference between Billy and Julie continued to accumulate, with numerous reverent encounters. They would start filming halfway through, in places where the night wasn't as uncomfortable without skipping many scenes. It was the linear moment that gave the actors continuity, but the fairground shoot could be done since most of it was filmed at night.
Although they forgot about the kiss, for tomorrow evening, it had to be at sunset when both poured their hearts into kisses and established romance. After they got off the train, both were overshadowed by fear and nervousness. Julie/Celine was always a very understanding person, but only with Jessi/Billy did the way they both begin to get to know each other open Celine to that sweet and romantic side. Celine was a woman who endured and tolerated; she endured.
Celine loved Jessi, his way of thinking, acting, and of course, his way of expressing certain thoughts that ended up astounding her. They caused certain sensations that Julie had to manage to resolve.
-Everything wraps up for today, - said Billy, eager to get into a bath and take a good shower. - We need to keep waiting for the next shots. –
-We should grab something to eat, - said Julie.
-I'm not really in the mood for food, - said Billy, exhausted.
-Plus, we have to get up early tomorrow, - the guy added.
-That's true. We have to get up early, but it's important, and now you've ruined the surprise. It's not fair. There's a band playing out here. They're not great, but there will be four groups performing, and we can go, to satisfy your lack of musical knowledge, - said Julie.
-Let's go, -said Billy.
Accepting his fate, he knew he would soon find himself in a small dive, with guitarists playing at full volume on their electric guitars, which didn't exactly excite him. Like a mysterious detective, Julie guided him the whole time, even taking a few turns. The architecture only encouraged Billy to observe; many images could be captured from this view. Animators who want to establish an image of an era or a city do this kind of fieldwork, something he has done little of, but now he understands, with his knowledge of existing memories.
-I should plan a tour of all the great cities, - Billy thought, remembering the book he wants to animate, a linear film of Frankenstein that adheres to the book. However, now that he's in Vienna, adding philosophy could be a significant consideration, life, Genesis, a science fiction birth of its own.
-We're here, - said Julie.
To Billy's surprise, they were jazz bands, jazz bands that opened up certain forms. The music began to play, a strong piano with colors playing tun, fast and powerful, disorderly and fast—it was wonderful.
They had Sturm, clearly two main things. This was a type of wine, fruity, almost certainly not aged much, sweeter, and partially fermented, it had a certain taste for people who didn't want to get drunk.
-What's this? - asked Billy.
-It's Sturm. But you can order beer if you don't want it, - said Julie.
-Beer would just liven me up, but I prefer to be clear-headed for tomorrow, - said Billy.
-Why are you being so mysterious? - Julie asked.
-I'm just enjoying the concert; it's my first concert, - the young man commented.
-Now you're acting condescending. The idea is to have fun, - said Julie, approaching Billy and placing her arms around his neck. - You need to relax; sometimes you seem like a robot, you keep your emotions, you don't get angry, you don't respond, you don't smile, and you're always in business mode. I thought it was silly, but then I saw you seriously, and you're the same all the time. Sadly, you do this. Let me invite you to fruity wine, beer, or gin and tonic, we'll record, and we'll take care of our business, - said Julie.
Billy tried to control himself, but he was doing everything Julie said, suppressing his emotions, and now he was just following a formal route, keeping his thoughts. Like his father, he kept things he did and had to do, he was a trapped person.
-You're a bit unfair, - said Billy.
-Oh, come on, stop being a child. When you want something, you ask for it; you don't just grumble like a baby. You're a bit silly when you play the dignified act. The silliest thing you do is if you have to say something, say it, or just be honest with your thoughts. You're a man, - said Julie, curiously, Julie was in an internal struggle; she wanted to see Jesse, that intelligent, sensitive, and critical guy who said all the things she liked, but Billy kept many thoughts that Julie wanted to know for herself.
-You're impossible. Let's have wine, just don't talk, - said Billy.
The night soured; they drank wine, but Billy was more preoccupied with himself and his thoughts.
