章節 11: Chapter 11 Dave's Loss
A few detectives hurriedly pushed the door in, passing by many of the staff, ignoring the loud and small exclamations, and pushed the door into the VIP area of the performance hall, where dozens of large round tables were set up, filled with celebrities in the entertainment industry, and it was clear that important awards were being handed out on stage, and they all stared intently at the stage.
The CSI team approached a blonde woman solemnly, and Nick stepped forward, thoughtfully trying not to block the view of the guest behind him, and tapped the blonde woman's shoulder with his hand. "Huanita Casson?"
The blonde woman slowly turned her head, she was wearing the classic flaming red lip makeup, her complexion was snow-white, her eyes were deep, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, her expression seemed to be smiling, full of indescribable charm, in the face of the sudden interruption, she did not show the slightest panic, but seemed to know that she secretly smiled, and calmly replied, "Yes?"
The officers let out a low sigh, and Nick swallowed, holding his composure, "I-I-uh-"
The smile in Huanita's eyes deepened, she folded her legs, tilted her head slightly, and patiently waited for Nick's next words, her blue-green eyes sparkling, looking up and down the young and handsome Nick with great interest. "Yes?"
"I-I-" Nick suddenly burst into a profanity, "Fuck, I'm sorry, I forgot the words again." "
A good-natured laugh erupted on the set, and Jenny resisted the urge to roll her eyes and let out a reciprocal laugh: this is the fourth time Nick has forgotten words in this scene.
The make-up artist came up to touch up the duo's makeup, George Eders, that is, Nick's actor, seized the opportunity and quickly recited the lines, and the special effects team wasted no time in stepping forward to adjust the green screen. After a short break, the director spoke, "Action!"
As he spoke, Jenny deftly opened the space and re-immersed herself in the role of Marilyn Monroe, staring intently at the green screen not far away — in fact, only her table and the two or three tables next to her would be real in the whole awards gala, and the rest of the show would be made with special effects in the future, embedding them at the Emmy Awards earlier this year, which was one of the gimmicks of the first episode of the second season. Including the audience at the back, they all use this method to do it.
Unlike the film, which includes a soundtrack and vocals in the background, the set was very quiet, and Jenny could clearly hear Nick's footsteps, followed by his poke, "Huanita Carson?"
She suddenly remembered Marilyn's first appearance in the spotlight, that amorous smile, for Marilyn, sex is her best weapon, the most solid armor. She has beauty, which gives her an advantage whenever and wherever she wants, and everything is under control.
A confident and mysterious smile naturally appeared on Huanita's lips, and she calmly turned back, "Yes?"
This time, George was directly stuck, and he couldn't even pick up the lines. The annoyance in the director's voice was already palpable, "Cut—No good!"
He stepped forward and pulled George aside, "Listen, man, I know you're obsessed with her, Hell, we're all like that, she's so beautiful when she comes into the play, I'm sure a lot of people are going to think of her jerking off tonight." "
He pointed to Jenny, not caring that she was on the side, and could hear him perfectly. "There's nothing to be ashamed of, you don't need to restrain yourself, what you have to do is put into the role. Nick is also fascinated by Huanita, the chemistry between you is good, you just remember to read the lines, it's like Nick, you can't be fascinated, but you still try to do your part. You know what I mean? George, it's all about the show, there's no reason why you can't do it. "
George cast an embarrassed glance at Jenny, who smiled at him, but George didn't show any fascination - Jenny had tested the time limit of this kind of character empathy, and the time that would be so intense that it would completely affect her temperament was actually not long, that is, three or five minutes, the length of a shot.
"OK, I'll try. He said, smiling at the director good-naturedly, "Don't be angry with me, OK? You said it, everyone is fascinated by her, I am the closest to her, of course, it can't be an exception." "
Jenny smiled and said, "Hey, I'm right next to it." "
The director grinned at her, a look between annoyance and affection, and muttered, "God knows where you came out of nowhere, I mean—"
He shook his head, and rushed back before he finished speaking, "There's not much time to waste, George, brew it, and tell me about it." "
George stood alone and silently breathed for a moment, "I can do it." "
This time, they made it through the scene without a hitch, followed by a short intermission where George had to continue shooting some shots in the same set, and Jenny could go back to rest and wait for her next shot. Of course, the dress can't be taken off, and her next set of shots changes the set but not the clothes.
Although it didn't take more than 20 seconds to appear on TV, the camera shot back and forth for almost an hour, and Jenny was a little tired, so she walked to the snack area in the corner of the studio to get water, and George followed. "Hey, I wanted to say sorry to you, I might be a little out of shape this morning. "
Jenny grinned, "Doesn't that show my charm? Just like the director said, you're fascinated by Canita." "
George laughed too, and he looked at Jenny inquiringly, and suddenly said, "Wow, seriously, you're really like two people in the play—I mean, in front of the camera, when you smile like that, I'm like a hairy boy who has just started to fall in love, and I'm fascinated by you." But once the play is over, Boom, all of a sudden those mysterious charms are gone, and you're still beautiful, but—but—I don't know what to say, but it's like a different person. "
"Are you trying to ask me out or are you complimenting me on my acting?" Jenny joked, "and if it's the former, you're really doing a terrible job." "
"What if it's the latter?" George took a bottle of water as well, opened it and took two sips.
"Then you're saying it too well. Jenny said.
George laughed, "Thank you - I can't help but say, I'm glad you're two people in the play, I mean, oh my God, I have a girlfriend, and I love her, and I don't want to disappoint her." "
Jenny was amused by him, and the two chatted a few more words, and George asked her to come to his party when he was free, and then went back to the play.
According to the filming schedule, this was followed by up to five hours of free time, and then she could go home after filming the interrogation scene. Jenny looked for a while and soon found Dave standing in the corner of the set, and she happily walked up to him, "I'm not bad at acting, right?"
Dave looked at her with mixed eyes, and after a while smiled, "You're amazing." "
If I'm wonderful, why aren't you happy for me?" Jenny wanted to answer, but still didn't speak. If it was really Jenny here, maybe she wouldn't understand Dave's mood now, but as Chen Zhen, it was impossible for her not to understand.
The two were silent all the way, and they didn't say much in the trailer, which was a public trailer, and there were two or three extras waiting to play.
When there were fewer people and only the two of them in the trailer, Dave said, "Jenny, you've done a great job." "
He looked a little uneasy and guilty, and Jenny made a questioning expression, "Thank you?"
Dave sighed and finally told the truth, "I'm afraid you'd have a hard time getting that resident role of Buffyry." "
"This—" Jenny didn't know what to say, and many complicated thoughts crossed her mind, could it be ... But she didn't want to think of Dave so selfishly...
"You're so beautiful. Dave said, breaking her doubts, "The acting is so good, you are completely two people in and out of the play." I didn't expect you to be so ... in front of the camera So ..."
He stammered for a moment, and finally said in full, "So radiant, so beautiful, like a natural star, I think you just break into the audition scene of any company, and you can easily get a role with your beauty and acting skills." "
It was the first time that Jenny had heard so many compliments in one day, and although she could feel what Jenny Jane's young and beautiful body would look like with Marilyn Monroe's powerful aura when she watched the film repeatedly in the acting space, she still didn't expect the final result to be so brilliant, from George Eders, who played with her, to the director, and of course, the makeup artist or something, and now Dave.
"Oh, Dave. She said, smiling.
Dave shook his head, looking even more guilty, "But it's precisely because of this that I can't give you the role of Buffyry." Sorry, Jane, that's just a regular character, it shouldn't be too good, and your style will completely overshadow Sarah. It is the heroine drama, and the heroine must be the most dazzling one in the play. "
He seemed unsatisfied, adding, "I can't sacrifice her for you - even if I wanted to, and you made it to the crew, Sarah would have pushed you out, and you and her position are in serious conflict." "
Jenny already knew that on the night of their first date, the person who booked Dave's 'eat and wipe clean' was Sarah Michelle Gaeira, who was a good friend with Dave, and a popular young girl in Hollywood, also a blonde beauty - but she didn't expect that her outstanding performance at CSI would cost her a job.
However, it also shows Dave's professionalism, no matter what, he is still very committed to his work as an actor assistant director. At least after she was firing at full power, he was not fascinated, but immediately thought of his work.
"I understand. Jenny said, trying to put on a smile to comfort him, "I understand, Dave, you're saying I'm too good and too much for that character." "
Dave looked slightly relieved, and he nodded. "You should be glad that you are a cameo in CSI, and there is no similar female character in the show, otherwise, she will definitely use all her influence to cut your role in every possible way, and even threaten the screenwriter to kill you as soon as possible and make you disappear. Even if she didn't, her agent would do it for her. "
It's a clear hint that if she gets into the Buffy crew, Dave thinks Sarah will do this to her. Considering that he and Sarah knew each other very well, Jenny believed that Dave's idea made a lot of sense. And she also understands what Dave didn't say - she was introduced to the crew by Dave, and when Sarah discovers that Jenny's acting skills and beauty completely suppress her in the rival scene, there must be a rift in Dave's friendship with her.
Compared with the only leading actor, although the actor assistant director is important, it is not so irreplaceable.
"I see. She exhaled and comforted Dave, "Don't worry, Dave, that's not what I'm aiming for." "
Dave seemed to believe her words, and he asked curiously, "And what is your goal?"
"Probably like all girls, my dream is to be the heroine of an A-list production," Jenny shrugged, as relaxed as she could, "You know, and not a regular character in a TV series, so it's a shame to lose this opportunity, but it won't disappoint me too much." "
She hoped that Dave would laugh at her for being too ambitious, admonish her to eat bite by bite, take the road step by step, and tell her that Buffy's regular role is a great opportunity for newcomers. — but Dave didn't.
Instead, he looked at her with a very peculiar look in his eyes and said slowly, "For many people, it's an unattainable dream, Jenny, but for you it's not, believe me, you already have all the conditions to be on the big screen, all you lack is a chance." A lot of people come to L.A. with dreams like that and then struggle to make ends meet — but you're not, some people are born in the fast lane, and they're running a lot faster than everyone else, and trust me, Jenny, you're that kind of person. "
Jenny didn't know whether to praise him for his insight, but she smiled bitterly and told him: Of course you are right, you are complimenting Jenny Jane + Marilyn Monroe.
Eventually, she just laughed and said, "Oh, Dave, encourage me when the opportunity comes." Now I just want to play this scene well. "
Dave stopped talking, but finally he nodded, "Of course, that's the most important thing... But you have to be careful, Jane. "
His expression became serious, "On the set, it is never uncommon for people to be jealous of their abilities. "
