Chapter 509
The w’sb crew continued to conduct intense shooting in Springfield. The set was in the forest near the "Dolly House". The weather was gloomy today and there was no more sunshine at noon.
"Yeah, that's it." Everyone was having lunch break at the base camp. Ye Wei sat in the director's chair, put down his cell phone, and his brows were slightly frowning.
Roger Albert also gave a bad review. If there was only one star, he would be mean.
"The Witch Carrie" did not have a miracle, and the response from the film critics was worse than expected. Almost all the original concerns came true, the screenwriter team lacked creativity, and the constraints of business factors, Kimberly lost her direction between business and art...
Nina's performance is actually fine. It's not her problem, nor is it the problem of any actor, they are all dragged down.
He has made many opinions, but they are the kind of people who listen to it and fall down if they don't listen, unless he holds a higher position than planning. His opinions are not about being thrown into the trash can and execution. When will the new version of the remake of the classic video be shot? It's difficult for anyone to shoot it. Kimberly didn't do it well. Can she blame her?
He couldn't even shoot his chest and said affirmatively, "I will shoot a new classic." It was a fact that he did not provide more powerful help to "Carley". Its shooting and post-production... He didn't participate much. One reason was that he had to be busy with SS and TLB, the second was to stay away from Nina, and the third was to be not under the authority and responsibility.
Should participate in more...probably.
Ye Wei pressed his phone and wanted to call Nina to talk about this, look at her busy surroundings, and then thought that she would call her at night.
"Hey, Wei." Jennifer came with the script to talk, and Elicica followed her to join in the fun. Almost at the same time as them, props Andre Capel, the director is the "most popular" person on the set. As soon as Capel approached, he said, "Wigge, no, we really can't find that kind of fake squirrel."
Ye Wei turned his head unwillingly and said, "Think of a solution for me."
Capel looked at the king helplessly. This was a nonsensical problem. In the afternoon, he was going to film the scene of Rui, Gail and Rui's two younger brothers killing squirrels. Rui taught them how to peel them, etc. The director wanted the most real squirrels, but the crew was not allowed to hunt squirrels for this purpose, or bought squirrels from hunters. As long as they killed the alive squirrels, they couldn't do it.
"A fake squirrel like a real one is impossible except for special effects." Capel could only say bluntly that the most real squirrel is a squirrel.
Both girls understood. Alicica thought this was Ye Wei's personality, it was so cool. Jennifer thought that uh, she was the one who wanted to peel squirrels, not Alice, Sunny, Harold or Ye Wei, it was her, and in order to be proficient, she needed to practice first, and maybe even... So what she needed was not one or two squirrels, but at least ten.
"I suggest using real squirrels." Capel smiled bitterly as if he was coaxing the child, "Waige, hunting squirrels is common."
Ye Wei shook his head slightly: "No, no! They lived well here before, but because we died in movies, they didn't care about art. This is not possible. Maybe we killed a new mother! A couple who just started a new life, no." However, this scene must be filmed, which is an important characteristic that shapes Rui He's story.
Capel asked the hunter and continued to persuade: "We have obtained a way to lure the squirrels to take anesthetics. They will fall into coma. We will let them die of suffocation in coma, without pain, and preserve the most complete corpses."
"Are you kidding me?" Ye Wei turned his head and glared at Capel, "Rui and the others came back with a hunting rifle! Those squirrels will definitely be bloody, and what I hate the most is to drug the animals to kill them. Oh my God!" He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "If you want to kill them, at least let them know how they died, they should know! What species they were killed by and who they killed, and then they would make a harsh scream to remind their family, friends and companions, 'There is danger here, run quickly, and be careful of humans in the future'. That is also a destination for animals, so they die with value, dignity, and hope, but not including dying in coma. Don't mention this suggestion, I am a hypocrite."
Capel was stunned for a moment, as if it was true, but... it was just a squirrel...
Oh. Alicica was fascinated by Ye Wei. Jennifer's eyebrows were tilted. Why didn't she think about it before? This guy is really interesting.
"So?" Capel could only smile bitterly, "We really have no choice but to do anything about the prop group. There is no such fake squirrel."
Ye Wei was silent for a while. I was the project initiator and director. Everything rose because of me, and they died because of me. He stood up and said, "Hunting head-on, I'll kill it." Everyone was stunned. He shrugged and said, "This will be my first hunt, but I'm a sharpshooter in the playground."
...
"Carrie!", "Your new movie will be released tomorrow, right? I can't wait.", "We will go and support it, haha."
"Thank you." No matter where Nina walks at school, people will greet you from time to time. If she feels that the other party is not malicious, she will respond. What is good intention and what is malicious? She looks back at the people in the corridor who are laughing and talking far away. They laughed loudly, and she felt that it was ridiculing her...
31% freshness, catastrophic performance.
I really don't understand. Everything was very good, but it was over in the end. The Oscar's dream was indeed just a dream. Maybe she could get nominated when she was 28 years old, but she wouldn't be 18 years old, not this time.
"Nina, I'm looking for you." A group of sisters and friends came towards me, and Nina was even more upset and didn't want to see them.
They seemed to have known that their expressions were different from usual. They had seen through these women for a long time and guessed how happy they were, but she didn't want to be gloating or pitiful sympathy...
"You know." Nina was too lazy to circle around. The girls looked at each other, "What do you know?" She gave them a blank look. Recently, she often talked about the possible praise of "Carley". Bate is still a Viy fan. Bate must have checked it. When she said it, anyone would know.
She took the initiative to say to them: "The review of "Carley" is not very good." The girls exclaimed in shock, "I'm sorry, Nina." "I'm really sad for you." "What's the matter? Even those critics say "Singing and Dance" is a bad movie." "Yes, what do they know."
In fact, Nina thought so in her heart. It doesn’t mean that the box office is bad. Although the Oscar dream is over, "Carley" is a commercial film, with a budget of 15 million and a box office of 50 million in North America. It is a success if the box office is good. If the box office is good, it is not a failure! Maybe... it will be... it has a bit of influence. Next year, I will give Roger Albert the Best Thriller Movie to Roger Albert. That is also an award.
Thinking of this, Nina didn't dare to say too much now, she just laughed and said, "That's the need to watch movies is different. You don't need to comfort me anymore. It's okay, just say something else."
Anyway, I am very embarrassed this time, it depends on how much I can recover.
After learning the result at noon, Nina was entangled with depression all afternoon and was not interested in anything. When she got home in the evening, her parents were ready and smiled on the porch. She smiled so well, ng!
"Dear, welcome home." Mihaela opened her hands to hug her daughter.
"Baby, let's go to the lake to have a dog together?" Constantine pulled the led cpp and asked it to comfort the owner.
"No need to say anything." Nina exhaled repeatedly. When faced with her family, she would sometimes lose her temper. She hugged her mother and kicked her father, and said in Bulgarian: "It won't be good. The review of "Carrie" has been decided. This is a bad movie, and my performance is terrible. This result will not change just because of your comfort."
CPP pounced on her a few times, she picked it up and sighed, "I'm fine, I will take good care of myself, and take good care of it, Xixi! It's called Xixi from now on." She kissed Xixi on the nose, "Do you like your new name, Xixi? Oh look at you... your cute eyes, you are the best actress in the Oscar!"
How could Mihaela not comfort me: "I have talked to your agent, it's not that bad. It's not your fault. More importantly, the box office is the box office. Even if the box office is not good, a failure is nothing. Your career is just starting out, so you don't have any chance." Constantine also said: "We don't care whether you are a star or not. The most important thing is that you live a happy life. You have made us very proud." Mihaela nodded and said: "Dear, we love you."
"I know..." Nina smiled at her parents, laughing at her stupid and brilliant appearance, "You guys, you guys, I'm a little tired and want to rest. Don't talk about how "Mo Jia" is like, I'll talk about it when the first week is over." She now understood why she had to settle down and then look at the results, although she didn't plan to do that.
Dad went to take a walk in Xixi, and mom stayed at home, as if she was afraid that she would commit suicide. As for it?
Nina felt it was boring to wait here and there at home, and it was boring to go out to play. It would be dark until almost 7 o'clock. She inspected the yard and glanced at the small storage room beside the house. She already understood why Ye Wei was not attending the premiere.
Because he watched the video at the first time, he knew it was a bad movie, and he didn't want to be related to it anymore. She understood him, human nature, and she might do this if she had changed her. He also had his movies to promote, not that he didn't respect her, but he didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. In order for her to play Carrie, he had been involved enough.
Thinking of this, Nina felt relieved.
My friends are like this, things will be like this. After Carrie, they will only become more distant. Many years later, a reporter suddenly asked her in an interview: "Do you and Ye Wei still have contacts over the years?" She replied: "Ah? We haven't contacted each other for several years."
Just as he was watching the sunset in the sky, his phone suddenly rang. Nina took it out and saw that as soon as she thought of this person, she called. Guess, he would definitely say "Nina, your performance is very good, you are the best, everything will be fine."
She answered the call while walking towards the lawn: "Hi, Weige."
"Good evening, Nina, how are you doing recently?" Ye Wei's hearty laughter came from his phone, "I had a bad day, I killed 7 squirrels, I am a demon."
"Haha." Nina was neither interested nor wanted to speak, she just wanted to hang up the line quickly, and laughed: "I thought it would be good if "Carrie" was screwed up." Ye Wei's voice was a little deeper: "I didn't expect that I had always wanted the film critics to score a 60." She said comforting words first: "Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail, no matter what, life is always moving forward, right?"
Ye Wei on the other end was quiet for a few seconds, "Yes, failure is not scary, what is scary is losing the courage to fail."
"I think so, I know." Nina smiled and said, "It's okay!"
Ye Wei was still saying: "Nina, the failure of "Carrie" is not because you didn't act well. Sometimes the actors can only passively fail. The killing scene broke out in that dance. Is it your idea or Kimberly's idea?"
"Kimberley's idea." Nina answered him.
"Of course, because with the overall design, lenses, props, special effects and other aspects of that scene, every actor Carrie has to cooperate with it. Can you blame you? No. If anyone criticizes you for this, it is wrong, and those film critics also know that you can't blame you. You can see that they all say it was Pierce's fault and feel sorry for you."
"I've seen it, yes."
"So don't blame yourself." Ye Wei comforted, "It's not your fault, it's not at all, you're dragged down."
"Haha, I didn't blame myself for being bad luck, I understand." Nina smiled and sighed, "But it's a little sad, it's just human nature. You can't help but let me be sad, right?" He heard him laughing: "Okay, I'm sad too, I'm scolded so badly. He's so cool, Roger Albert really angered me."
"Don't blame yourself, you're just named, it's not your business." Nina didn't want to say more, "That's it? I still have something to do."
"Oh OK, let's talk back." Ye Wei said, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After pressing the call, Nina sat down on the front yard lawn, her face gradually became depressed. She looked at the sky that was at night, and then looked down at the ground.
Yunik, where are you?
I miss you so much.
