Until she officially joined the crew, Natalie couldn't find the perfect performance feeling she felt.

Of course, I can't say that I don't feel anything at all. However, compared to the roles I played in the past, Natalie always feels inadequately prepared.

This made her feel a little lack of confidence when facing the guide held by Charlotte.

In this case

“cut!”

Naturally, it becomes a very natural result.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel speechless.

Having directed so many actors, he could naturally see Natalie's timidity deep in her heart at a glance.

He realized that although Natalie Portman was the type that cut into black inside, she was not very good at performing this true nature.

On the contrary, the ascetic character who is suppressed in her heart is what she is better at.

To some extent, this is more in line with Natalie's relatively flat figure.

But the problem is, what Charlotte needs is the black swan-like character of "Matilda"...

"Fortunately I was prepared!"

Charlotte thought to himself, but he did not call Natalie over and give it a note like the actor who was not good at directing during filming.

On the contrary, he let the other party cut without caring, but instead pointed out Jesse Eisenberg on the side.

Jesse Eisenberg, in Charlotte's original time and space, has the nickname "Little Curl" and "Cuxi", and is particularly good at creating a slightly neurotic and evil otaku.

In "Social Network" filmed by David Finch, Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg, and played the founder of Facebook very well.

Later, in "Batman vs. Superman", he became the only haired Lexer Luthor in the DC comic adaptation movie because of his characteristic curly hair.

Even if you don't stick to the end.

In general, Charlotte thinks Jesse Eisenberg is a talented actor. Although in the later stages, it may be a bit difficult for him to break through the image limitations of the evil and neurotic otaku, but for Charlotte, this is enough.

What's more, in the original "The Shocking Demons", Jesse Eisenberg is also the male lead.

In this case, Charlotte felt that it was nothing if he guided the other party in advance so that he could meet his own requirements.

In particular, Charlotte also specially put the two movies "Decisive Blackjack" together to shoot, which puts forward better choices for the actors' acting skills.

After all, you might have been in Las Vegas a moment ago, but you might have become a magician in the next second, performing the disappearing magic in public.

This requires quite a high level of switching ability for actors.

In fact, the biggest difficulty in Charlotte's filming this time is here. Both Charlotte himself and other actors who took on two films, understand this.

However, understanding does not mean that you can do it. At least, Jesse Eisenberg and Natalie Portman, as the protagonists, are almost there in this regard.

In this regard, Charlotte adopted the method of teaching according to his aptitude

That's right, his deliberate play to Natalie Portman was his way to guide the other party.

After all, for a scheming woman who has been in Hollywood since she was a child, has worked with many famous directors, and is smart and cunning, she actually can't play much in the ordinary sense.

Natalie Portman's performance style has been formed, and it is not easy to break and reshape.

It is not easy for all actors to break through the bottleneck of acting skills, and the smarter, more rational and more cunning an actor is, the more difficult it will be to break through.

In Sherlock's view, this is actually a kind of knowledge barrier. Too deep thinking and rationality can sometimes become obstacles to improving acting skills.

In contrast, actors who think less and are more emotional sometimes tend to break through themselves.

Especially at the top, most of the acting masters in Hollywood and Europe are emotional people who are not crazy and cannot survive.

Like Daniel Day-Lewis and Isabella Adjani, this once paired.

Not to mention the former, there are all kinds of mental problems, but after entering the role, they will completely become characters and will not recognize relatives. The latter is a recognized madman among European and American actresses. The experience of their interactions is even more interpreted to the world, how much can two emotional actors destroy each other?

Of course, it also confirmed once again that good actors with emotion are often scumbags. After all, if you break up with your girlfriend, you don’t tell me directly that this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do...

In short, the directorial experience over the years has made Charlotte fully realize that the actors' acting talent is often inversely proportional to cunning and proportional to the degree of scumbag.

Of course, there are no counterexamples, but at least for Natalie Portman, Charlotte feels that the rule he summarizes has not been broken.

The long island girl's scheming that was cut was all black, which often made her subconsciously control her performance amplitude. This is also the reason why the roles she played in the past often had a feeling of "receiving".

As she grows older and her mind becomes more and more, Natalie's "retraction" or "repression" becomes more and more obvious, and even becomes a characteristic of her performance. This is also the reason why many people think that this "Matilda" lost her spirituality when she grew up.

In fact, to some extent, this can be said to be the inevitable influence of Natalie Portman's character on his performance style.

And to break through this influence, there is not no other way. After all, he is not the only scheming girl in Hollywood.

However, no matter what, this is ultimately a breakthrough in acting. It can be said that it is breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, and it is definitely not an easy task.

This not only takes a long time, but also requires the actor's perseverance and talent, as well as essential guidance and opportunities.

But these are exactly what Natalie Portman lacks at present.

At least, Charlotte did not intend to be a living person. He spent a lot of time to guide the other party. For him, "Decisive Blackjack" and "The Shocking Demons" are not key projects, but more like temporary experimental works.

In such a project, he does not want to put in too much energy to train the actors, especially because of his personality, it is difficult for the latter to easily train the actors to the extent he needs.

Fortunately, Charlotte chose Natalie Portman in large part because of his black "black swan" character that was cut open.

He actually doesn't need Natalie to make any bottleneck breakthroughs, as long as the other party can let go of his instinct "receiving" and use his deep personality to act.

There is a simple way

He just needs to put pressure on this girl who likes to pretend and let her continue to accumulate anxiety and anger.

When the quantitative change causes qualitative change, the string in Natalie Portman's mind that suppresses herself was released after it was broken, and it was naturally the "black swan" that Charlotte wanted...
