Chapter 67 Dont be afraid of old age(1/2)

"Oh, I'm going home, I'm going home..."

Sigourney Weaver rejoined the shoot, wearing a cashmere coat, cashmere turtleneck, cashmere gloves and a white fuzzy headband.

The plot in which she said this line was when Catherine, who she played, returned home. After opening the door, Weaver made an exaggerated move, using a crutch with a white leather brace under his arm and standing on tiptoe.

, jump forward quickly.

"Oh, God..." Catherine rushed into the bedroom to change clothes.

The camera lens was still facing the door, and Melanie Griffiths followed in. She was the one who wanted to call God.

He was carrying a Louis Vuitton suitcase in each hand, a small lady's bag on his body, and a briefcase under his arm. The stuffed gorilla that Ronald personally selected was lying on the

on her back.

"Huh..." Melanie Griffiths walked in, put down the two big bags, and then unloaded the gorilla on her back on the chair. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down

on the chair.

This is the moment when Tess transforms from a princess back to Cinderella. After time, the beautiful decorations and clothes have turned into pumpkins, showing their prototype. Tess has changed back to the black and white vertical striped woolen coat, which is still cheap.

Combination of black suit and white shirt.

Only her blond hair was cut short by her friend Xin, and she still retains the look she had when she was pretending to be a manager.

Tess's boss, Catherine, is a person who is very good at controlling others with words. When she was in the car, she called her boyfriend Jack Traynor and asked him to come to the house, and she said half-coquettishly that he would not accept it.

She used the same method to treat Tess. She immediately turned Tess, who was still immature as a working woman, into her personal maid. On the pretext that her broken leg was not healed yet, she used her as a coolie and wanted Tess.

Do this, do that.

"Crackling", the first thing Catherine did when she got home was to turn on the computer. She remembered that she had written down her plan to embezzle Tess on the computer's memo software, and then she also wrote down the words that Tess should not know.

.

"Did you happen to see these when you came here before?" Catherine is very skilled at manipulating people's hearts. She waited for Tess to sit down and catch her breath, and then immediately asked her if she had seen her computer to test it out.

The other party. Most people are unprepared at this time.

"What is that?" Of course Tess knew what she was talking about and decided to play dumb.

"You know what? I was jotting down your thoughts, checking them one last time, and sending them to Jack Traynor. But now it looks like the words I wrote down read as if they were my thoughts.

The problem is, Jack was in trouble once when he was accused of stealing an idea from the company, so he was very cautious about where his ideas came from. If I told him that a colleague came up with the idea, he wouldn't even consider collaborating.

...let alone a secretary suggesting it."

Sigourney Weaver naturally read the mail and made up lies at the same time. She played a bitch very seriously.

Catherine judged others by herself. Tess must have read this memo. What she has to do now is to use the art of words to deceive this ignorant secretary and not to ruin her own affairs.

"What am I talking about? If you saw it, you would definitely ask me what happened... Trust!"

She rounded things off with clumsy lies, and then gave Tess a beating. This is how a workplace animal like Catherine can excuse herself.

Sigourney Weaver's dialogue skills are the best among the three leading actors. She finished her long lines in one breath. At the end of each sentence, she did not give her opponent a chance to answer, and immediately took the next sentence. If not

Ordinary people are wary of her and can easily be led to her thoughts.

Then Sigourney Weaver turned around and entered the bathroom with a cane, "Oh, I need help when I change clothes and take a shower."

In the next shot, the camera turns to Melanie Griffiths to capture her reaction to this statement.

Melanie was still breathing. She couldn't stand her boss's shameless behavior, so she rolled her eyes and snorted.

"Cut!"

After watching the director instruct this scene, the two beautiful actresses breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to do this kind of scene again. Melanie had to move so many boxes, and Sigourney had to pretend to be a cripple and dance.

Walking quickly is very physically demanding.

The two looked at each other, "Pfft...", hugged each other and laughed.

When acting in a movie, you either talk or listen to the opponent's actor. Acting is the reaction after seeing the other person's lines and movements and expressions. If the acting level of two people is too different, there will be a signal sent by one actor that cannot be replaced by the other.

The actor picks up the situation that occurs.

Only two equally matched opponents can perform well. One person's performance can inspire the other, and the other's reaction can in turn inspire the first actor.

The scenes between Melanie and Sigourney were very enjoyable for the actors to play. One is Bitchi's boss, the other is a scheming subordinate, and the two women are scheming, which makes them very happy.

"The next scene is Sigourney's bed scene. Get ready. We'll wait for Harrison to arrive." Ronald directed the lighting team to start lighting for the next scene.

"Ronald later...you didn't have any problems with him, right?" Sigourney Weaver and Melanie were whispering. She knew that Melanie was almost fired.

"Ronald is a good director. What is past is past..." Griffiths did not want to say too much.

"It's really good. He is an actor's director. Many times he allows us to realize it by ourselves and does not rigidly dictate how we should act... For example, the gorilla, I saw your scene and I figured out Ronald

idea.”

Sigourney Weaver felt that she completely understood that the gorilla was a symbol, a symbol of the intimidation and invasion of subordinates brought about by power in the office.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is a metaphor in English, there is a monkey on the back. This is a metaphor for a problem that a person encounters. This problem is like a monkey that cannot be shaken off no matter how hard it is.

Lose.

The monkey on Tess's back is Catherine's abuse of her time, letting an office assistant do everything, even parts that don't belong to her, and using the art of words to coerce her.

Gorillas are also a kind of monkey, very powerful ones.



While discussing Ronald's "superb guidance skills", Sigourney Weaver changed her clothes. She was wearing high-end similar underwear and a low-cut silk pajamas. After getting ready, she heard Harrison Ford

sound, so she walked out.

"You look so beautiful today, Sigourney."

"You're handsome too, Harrison."

The two stars said hello and prepared to shoot the next scene, a traditional Hollywood farce.

Catherine was lying on the bed, applying powder to her chest to cover the freckles common to white women.

While she ordered Tess to keep getting concealer and perfume, she dressed herself up beautifully. She also told Tess ostentatiously that her partner Jack Traynor was coming soon.

Tess didn't want to meet Jack under such circumstances, so she left on the pretext of a doctor's appointment.

Catherine also ordered her to go to the drugstore to buy contraceptive pills. Today she was going to meet again after a long absence to reveal the truth about Jack's proposal. The art of words was what she was best at. She directly said that she could go to the doctor later and handed over five dollars.

and a prescription.

It is Catherine's consistent style to always be self-righteous and not take other people's time seriously.

Melanie Griffiths exits and Harrison Ford's Jack enters the room.

Sigourney Weaver used various methods to create romance, letting Jack smell her perfume, asking him to get champagne from the refrigerator, etc.

Jack Traynor, who was about to break up with Catherine, was naturally a little afraid of this woman. When Catherine said that he was going to propose to her, Jack completely exploded. How could there be such a self-righteous person?

"Catherine, now is really not the time to chat." Harrison Ford tried to get away with an exaggerated smile.

At this time, Tess bought back the pills and peeped through the crack in the door outside the room. She wanted to know if Jack, like Catherine, was treating her like a fool?

Upon hearing this, Sigourney Weaver completely misunderstood. She approached Harrison Ford, and then put her hand under his body, "You are right, now is not a good time to talk, isn't Big Jack

Can you come out for some air? Katie is very lonely..."

Harrison Ford's expression changed. Such a direct acting method? "No, no..."

"Jack, what's the matter with you?" Catherine's face changed. She always had this way of making others feel guilty.

Jack, played by Harrison Ford, also had an expression that felt like he was in the wrong. He finally made up his mind and said those words, "I have another person..."

"Another person?" Sigourney Weaver repeated, as if a high school teacher was scolding her student.

"I mean, there is another important person, a client... who has made an appointment with me. We can't delay it. I'll tell you later, bye..." Jack kissed Catherine, and then took advantage of her inconvenience to fly.

Seemed to have escaped.

It was originally time for Jack, Tess, and Mr. Teske to meet with Metro Broadcasting to discuss the merger plan, but Jack left in a hurry.

"Humph..." Tess, who was eavesdropping behind the door, smiled... She saw Jack going out, waited for a while, and pretended to have just returned from buying medicine... "Here he is..."

"Cut!"

Ronald is quite satisfied with the results of the scheduling. This plot is often seen in classic comedy farces of old Hollywood. The two heroines, one in the light and the other in the dark, pass through the door and other scene settings to create various misunderstandings and coincidences.

Let’s get closer to the plot.

However, the "working girl" in modern dramas cannot use this old plot too hard. Ronald only used it here. The audience didn't think of the complaint of "it's the same old plot again".

it's over.

"Here, here is your medicine..." Melanie Griffiths took out her notebook from her cheap leather bag, reached in and took out a handful of change.

, placed on the table.

"I have to go, I'm going to be late for the doctor." Then Tess, like Jack, turned around and ran away before Catherine could react.

Tess also hurried to the meeting.

Catherine held her chin with her hand and thought, what happened today was so strange, everyone walked away in a hurry. She felt something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
