Bab 237: unfinished
September 12.
Amidst the recording process, the longest they've had so far, they repeated multiple scenes over a month. The recordings in the cold, Viennese autumn felt like a bucket of cold water, making it impossible to carry out the usual recordings that were done over and over. Many times, perfection wasn't achieved with just a few quick takes.
-Do you think we'll ever finish filming? - Billy asked Julie, who was holding an ice cream, her joy was evident, surviving in the cold as she often did.
-She walked carefully, a girl who only cared about being beyond trends... - sang little Julie. Don't bother, they usually last two to three months at least, and sometimes longer, six months or so, a bit less, it depends on the director, - she murmured, lost in thought.
Billy took a sip of orange juice. They waited in a small, mostly empty restaurant for the morning hour. Billy had his sketchbook, which Julie sometimes looked at. In the past few days, he had been dedicated to drawing architecture, mostly baroque buildings built in the 17th and 18th centuries. These buildings usually have elaborate facades, with ornamental details, sculptures, and reliefs carved in stone. Notable examples include the Church of St. Charles Borromeo (Karlskirche) and the Belvedere Palace.
The Baroque style is a big star in Europe, which was full of romanticism. Art Nouveau also leaves its mark on Vienna, especially in the city's residential and commercial buildings. This style is characterized by its organic lines, natural motifs, and creative use of materials like wrought iron and glass. The Majolika House and the Postal Savings Bank are notable examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Vienna, like Viennese modernism.
-I don't mind the recordings, I mind the cold, - said Billy. - You know, it's known that people from the tropics feel the cold twice as strongly as normal, but I say, how long did our ancestors need to learn to endure the cold or the heat? I think I have a very long line, like six generations of hot climates, it's impossible to do it for a month. -
-Weak people have such problems, on the other hand, we bought thermal pajamas. Look at me, I'm wearing a dress, and you have thick jeans, and that leather jacket you end up wearing every night. Last night, Gwyneth called me they closed the fashion week in Milan, she can come to greet us, she has a role to take, but she can't afford three days to come and greet us, - said Julie.
-I didn't know you were friends, - said Billy.
-You introduced me to her, - said Julie.
She maintained a relationship of different calls with Gwyneth since they met at fashion week, a friendship relationship. They are not in the center of the spotlight, and although they are usually photographed, they are not people who enjoy fame more than minutes. There are slight gossips, but not much is said about some young women, beyond the vanity fair and some teenage magazines.
-With night recordings, I dare say it's somewhat complicated, - said Billy.
-We'll celebrate in the early morning and sleep during the day, even though you, sir 'I can't do things because I work', - Julie responded.
-And when is that? - Billy asked.
-Today, - Julie said, taking a bite of the popsicle, with an innocent gesture that her features didn't hint she was a trickster.
-Okay, today, we have a chat at a dive bar, playing pinball, playing with strength, all the strength a man could muster knowing he'd lose to a woman again on the video game machines, - Julie said.
-Don't do it, Julie. I know what you're up to, - Billy said.
-What, I just want to do my job?! - Julie asked.
Billy, for the first time, wanted to roll his eyes with a hint of hatred.
-I've known you for two months, and in my time with you, most of the time you try to suggest something, it's because you want something from me. You can be sure that in the next twenty minutes, you'll be battling with an obvious bet, a bet that casually comments, 'Oh Billy, we should bet on the game, if you win, I'll do something you want, and if I win, you'll do something I want,' - Billy said, imitating Julie's voice. Julie had a total of four voices: the voice of a misogynistic tough guy who only wanted to dominate women and impose traditional arguments, the voice that imitated Billy made only for Billy and to annoy him during the movie's time, the third voice that imitated her mother, and the last one was that of a silly schoolgirl in love.
-I'm not talking, it's Jolie, my alter ego, who wanted to be a model, - Julie said, pouting. Taking out a purple woolen model, more similar to wool. - I'll pay, we'll go to the bridge for you to take a drawing of the bridge, and then we'll go to the museums, there's a modern art one near the bridge. -
What's better than Viennese architecture? The museums. Here, constitutional monarchies, enlightened individuals who sought to fill the city with museums, art, history, natural sciences, and cinematic concepts.
-Deal, let me take care of the stuff, you prepare the sandwiches. And I'll buy the drinks. Deal? - Billy asked.
-Well, but no soda, water, a bit of herbal juice, blackberry juice, although I don't think we have blackberries, apple, you can make apple juice, I like apples, - Julie said.
Among the museums, one of the most curious is the Museum of Jewish History and Culture, a museum dedicated to Jewish tradition and its historical development, from the Middle Ages to the present day. It presents historical artifacts, documents, and works of art illustrating Vienna's rich Jewish heritage. Like the art museum, this museum houses an impressive collection of art that includes masterpieces by artists such as Raphael, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Titian. Its architecture is impressive and houses a wide variety of historical artifacts.
There's the Albertina, Belvedere, Leopold Museum, and the House of Music... there are a few others.
-Since when have you been talking to Gwyneth? - Billy asked, walking through the halls of the art museum.
-Since we met, she's funny, and we have similar tastes. We talk about what we want, and she just wants to enjoy acting, parties, and fashion. Although it may not seem like it, she's very committed, - Julie said.
-Like all women should be, I don't square the image of you two as friends, it's surprising, you're completely different, - Billy said, paralleling images he had of multiple celebrities, all different and behaving differently than they are in person. For example, some who seem intelligent, funny, and outgoing are shy, introverted, and quiet, it's a noticeable difference in Hollywood behavior.
-We're hardly alike, but we share hobbies and some ideas about the globalized world, - Julie said, paying attention to a work, a large black-framed painting, with two people on a red and black background, it was almost poetic.
