In her previous life, Chen Zhen could be said to have been idle and idle. She read a lot of online novels in her spare time, and of course she was familiar with Golden Finger. Of course, at that time, she never dreamed that such a thing would happen to her. As a reader, she often disliked the author for giving the protagonist too much gold, which made the protagonist too powerful and made the whole article less interesting. pleasure.
Now of course she won't think that the golden finger is too big. She has to open an unlimited money. If this mysterious power is bold enough, Chen Zhen will not be too little if there is a trade across time and space. If there is a system, then It's even more beautiful. As we get closer to the goal step by step, more functions will be unlocked one after another...
It's a pity that compared to many characters in the book, her golden finger is extremely shabby, and it basically has only one function.
The conditions for activating it are very simple, just close your eyes and meditate. Chen Zhen named it 'Performing Space'. As long as she wants to enter it in her heart, the next moment she will find herself in a dark space. , there were many DVDs flying up and down in front of her eyes, and she could choose them as she pleased.
These discs are not all available. Chen Zhen does not have a global film library for the next ten or twenty years. Most of the discs are from movies and TV series she has watched, stage plays, etc., and a small part are from the famous names she has heard about for a long time but have always been Those who don't appreciate it, in short, there will be no films in the entire film library that she has not seen and has no memory of. It is still based on her memory.
The first function of Chen Zhen's golden finger is to rewatch old movies as much as possible.
After scratching around with her hand, Chen Zhen casually selected the classic blockbuster "Titanic" released in 1998. A large IMAX-sized screen suddenly appeared in front of her. The space directly skipped the production company information at the beginning of the title and started from the beginning. Play this classic production.
The time flow rate in space is about 3 to 1 compared to the time and space of the outside world, which means that Chen Zhen has 4 or 5 hours to watch this movie calmly, but she did not watch it all from the beginning, but directly moved to Ruth and Jack. The scene of floating and sinking in the sea made me watch the touching confession again.
Then he muttered, "Start the simulation."
With a crash, Chen Zhen fell into the water immediately.
The heavy Edwardian clothes became more cumbersome after being soaked in water. Although the water temperature was not low, the huge studio required a blower to help circulate the air. A gust of wind blew, and she was still shivering from the cold. She lay on the wooden board and even got up. No strength at all.
"Is it cold?" The young Leonardo Li Zi was lying on the edge of the board talking to her. His handsome and extraordinary appearance was only ten centimeters away from Chen Zhen. "Damn, I was freezing to death too. Luckily James finally decided to let us shoot in warm water, otherwise we would have gotten pneumonia."
Next to them is a large group of actors, all of whom are floating in the warm water. Seven or eight cameras, large and small, are facing this large pool. There are slide rails beside the pool, underwater cameras at the bottom, and people walking back and forth outside the pool. The staff, vividly or according to Chen Zhen's suspicion, 100% restored the filming scene of Titanic. In the distance, you can even see the 'King of the World' James Cameron and another man with solemn expressions. What are they discussing.
This is the second function of the golden finger: recreating the shooting scene.
Of course, Chen Zhen took the place of Kate Winslet here. She smiled hastily at Leonardo, but did not answer anything. A loud voice came from the distance, "Attention, scene 293, scene 6 , 2nd shooting, Action!"
"I'm cold," she urged herself to get into the scene quickly, reciting the dialogue with tears in her eyes, "I'm cold, Jack."
"Listen to me, Ruth." Leonardo's acting skills were exactly the same as in the movie, "You will definitely escape..."
A five-minute dialogue scene was filmed quickly. The director did not shout "Cut". When the time set by Chen Zhen was up, she returned to the performance space. A sofa and some basic furniture had already appeared in the space. He sat down on the sofa and replayed the clip he had just appeared in.
Another classic scene appeared on the big screen, but Ruth's face had been replaced by Chen Zhen's.
The third function of the golden finger is to turn the shooting scenes into a film.
This is not as simple as rewatching the original video, but the final product that has been completed with editing, post-production special effects, dubbing and editing. There is no difference from the released version. In other words, what Chen Zhen saw was 'What if Jenny. Jane starred in Titanic's version of the film, and if she wanted, she could play it from beginning to end and then watch the theatrical version.
Jenny Jane is a Germanic beauty, and her figure at this time is more slender than Kate Winslet, who is known as "fat and warm" (of course this nickname is unfair, Winslet's figure when starring in Titanic is actually Quite standard, just '10 pounds fatter for photogenic'), the appearance is more beautiful, but Chen Zhen's eyebrows gathered when she looked at her performance.
"The performance is exaggerated, stiff, and unnatural, and my line skills are still very poor." She was critical of her performance, "It must have failed."
Of course, this is also normal. No one can play the heroine of a blockbuster movie right away. For most actors, this is a kind of arrangement that encourages young people to thrive. Although there are some talented wizards who can shine through this, Soaring into the sky, but in the final analysis, actors are just a technical job, and they must go through a certain amount of practice and achieve proficiency before they can be promoted to professional titles. If you don't have enough exercise, you won't look like a prince even if you put on a dragon robe.
Chen Zhen's performance is pretty good. In her previous life, she also attended an acting academy for four years, during which she got some training. However, after graduation, she wasted away for ten years without even thinking about acting. Now she has only resumed practicing for less than a month. Yue, now it's just her acting skills that are poor. At any rate, the heroine's aura is still there, and the tragic atmosphere is still there. If it were a stranger, she could probably act in a comedy without even finishing the lyrics.
After re-watching the finished film twice, Chen Zhen couldn't stand it any longer. She threw the remote control away and said, "Simulate the scene." She returned to the Titanic filming scene. DiCaprio smiled at her again, "Isn't it cold? "
"Whatever." She replied angrily, and she lowered her head to think about it on her own. No matter how many times she repeated the simulation, no matter how many times she reacted, Xiao Lizi would only have these few lines of dialogue.
This time, when she heard the familiar 'Action', Chen Zhen muttered again, "Memory injection."
With a bang, many vague and complicated memories immediately appeared in her mind, as if Ruth's life was reappeared in a dream in an instant, including the young man whose family was in decline, the repressive and tense growing environment, her mother's concern for money and power, and... There is the love between her and Jack that is as brilliant as fireworks...
She was so cold, she couldn't stop shivering, both because of the cold and because of fear. She looked at her lover with all her strength, "Oh Jack, Jack, I'm so cold..."
"Listen to me, Ruth." Leonardo held her hand, his eyes still shining, "You will definitely escape..."
The fourth function of the golden finger is to simulate the character's memory emotions. ——In Chen Zhen's view, this is also the core function of Golden Finger.
The acting styles of actors can be roughly divided into the "experiential school" and the "expressive school". There is no conclusion on which school is better. No matter whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat when it catches mice. However, most of the techniques taught in the academy are expressionist techniques, because the experience party has high requirements for talent and cannot be taught through words and deeds. And this golden finger can allow her to completely enter the character and naturally reflect the emotions of the character in the scene. In other words, it can transform Chen Zhen into the purest, most capable person in the world. Experience actor. ——Of course, in the performing arts space, she is the only one in the world.
She tried to summon this golden finger in reality, but failed. It was impossible for Chen Zhen to read the script here and simulate the character's memory and emotions there, but this golden finger was not unable to affect reality. She If she simulates it in the performing arts space and then returns to reality, the emotional traces will still remain in her heart and will gradually fade away after a while. In other words, as long as she chooses the movies appropriately, such as acting in some movies she has watched in her previous life, she will It is still possible to use experiential methods to perform most scenes, which is also Chen Zhen's strongest bargaining chip in her attempt to "dominate Hollywood." Otherwise, she will not work hard in this direction at all. She will only immediately make herself more beautiful, try every means to save some money to study in a college course, and try hard to find a future law school husband to marry during her studies. Otherwise, she will still be able to get married. Find another job.
So far, she has only explored these four functions of the performing arts space, and these functions all focus on one thing - allowing her to perform well. So for Chen Zhen, her golden finger is only in acting, and there are many restrictions.
After re-watching the performance with emotions added, she was still not satisfied with herself - even if she was not a director, she could tell that the performance with emotions was a bit too 'relaxed'. It was a bit incompatible with Leonardo's performance. If she was too unrestrained and unable to be emotionally involved before, this time it was too overflowing with emotion, causing Leonardo and her rhythm to be misaligned.
Therefore, although this fourth function is core, it still cannot turn Chen Zhen into an experience master overnight. Pureness is one thing, and excellence is another.
After four more attempts, Chen Zhen was finally satisfied with the performance of this key scene. She waved her hand and started the combination of function three and function one, "Compare playback."
Two frames appeared on the screen, one of the original Winslet and the space version of Jane Jane. They both said the same line, "Oh, Jack..."
Although "Titanic" is a legendary blockbuster, the acting requirements for the male and female protagonists are not high. In other words, acting is not required to carry the box office, as long as it is above average, so Chen Zhen thinks that Jenny Jane's performance is enough. Comparable to Winslet's performance. ——Although this is a movie queen, her performance in "Titanic" was only this high, because the film did not leave room for her to show off her acting skills.
...However, she still felt a slight incongruity in Jenny's version. It was this incongruity that made her couldn't help but feel that the original version was more natural and superior.
What's the problem?
After Chen Zhen read the comparison three or four times, she finally came to the conclusion: the problem lies in blood and temperament.
Jane Jane is a Germanic beauty, but Kate Winslet is an English rose. In the role of Ruth, a British aristocrat, the latter naturally has a higher degree of compatibility, with her pure aristocratic English and her own personality. The temperament with a bit of classical charm is the finishing touch that adds a lot of charm to Ruth. But although Jenny Jane has also undergone excellent makeup, she is from the United States and naturally has an urban temperament unique to American girls. Fundamentally speaking, she is somewhat incompatible with the role of Ruth.
Even if she has a golden finger, she can't break through her own limitations... Chen Zhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: How difficult is it to carve out a career in the entertainment industry?
Chen Zhen could also hear outside sounds in the performing arts space, such as phone calls and cell phone ringtones. She reviewed her performance several times. When she heard the alarm clock ringing, she exited the performing arts space and drank in the special performance last night. Strong iced coffee, packed up, and went to work by bike.
