Chapter 470 Sigourney's Call
The two continued to exchange glances when a loud, unpleasant shout suddenly came from behind, "Cut! No good!"
Su Lingxi's state was suddenly interrupted, and those bad, complacent, and dark emotions quickly receded like the tide.
She casually tossed her hair, stood still, and waited patiently for the director to give his opinion.
"In the last frame, your performance was a little inappropriate." The staff were very sensible and did not move. Greta walked around the monitor, walked to the center of the venue, and began to explain the play to them, "Gerald, you have to understand your role. The look in your eyes when you look at Eve should not reveal such straightforward surprise. Paul White is a mercenary and cold-blooded businessman. He will not appreciate any woman because of her beauty. He only has various desires for Eve, desire for control or desire for love. Do you understand?"
Gerald Tarleton nodded, avoided her gaze, and touched his nose unnaturally.
"And you, Nicole, you went a little too far when you dodged him at the end." Greta said seriously, "Eve Blake is passionate and free-spirited, and always disregards the rules. She is not afraid of Paul like Eve White, and she is not a pure girl."
"You've been doing great so far, try to keep that feeling, okay?"
Judging from Gerard's performance, this "No good" should be directed at him by Greta - this made Su Lingxi feel a little better, but not much better.
Because immediately afterwards, they reshot this scene no less than five times.
Most of this was due to the complex camera positions and cumbersome movements in this scene, but after the performance, Su Lingxi still couldn't help feeling tired.
This exhaustion comes not only from repeating this page of lines all day long, but also from the cameras that are always pointed at her, and the pairs of eyes that are either curious or scrutinizing her——
Logically speaking, as a star, she has long been accustomed to living under the gaze of others, but after being deeply immersed in the role, this life state that she had been accustomed to suddenly became unbearable.
In other words, now she is more accustomed to living as Eve than in 'reality'.
Suppressing the inexplicable unhappiness in her heart, Su Lingxi put on a decent smile, greeted Brandon and others in turn, got into the car and left without looking back.
Before the car drove back to the hotel, Su Lingxi's cell phone started buzzing.
She picked up the phone listlessly, but when she heard the caller's voice, her eyes widened in surprise: "Sigourney? Is this... your new number?"
"Yes, I just changed my private number. I thought I should at least let you know. I hope I didn't disturb you." On the other end of the phone, Sigourney Garner's voice was as energetic as ever. "I heard that you are currently filming a movie about multiple personalities. Is the filming going well? How is your cooperation with Greta Mirren? She is a famous 'Iron Lady' director in Hollywood."
The slight unfamiliarity disappeared in her concerned inquiry, and Su Lingxi replied with a smile: "It's pretty good. I think she and I are quite compatible."
"What about you? Are you really not going to accept any scripts this year? I heard from Carly that you rejected several directors within a month."
Although the two have not talked about work for a long time after the Oscar celebration party, they can easily learn about each other's latest developments through their mutual friend Carly Scott.
"There are always endless good scripts to be filmed, and there is no end to the money to be made, but right now, I am more interested in skiing and vacationing than filming." Sigourney laughed twice and brought the topic back on track. "Let's not talk about this, Nicole. In fact, you should be able to guess the reason why I called today."
"What?" Su Lingxi asked vaguely, an idea gradually forming in his mind.
"If you have any questions about acting, you can ask me without worry." Sigourney cleared her throat and became serious. "You know, I have some experience with roles involving multiple personalities, so if you want, you can choose to talk to me."
Su Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable, but it soon disappeared with the other party's concerned tone - she could learn about Sigourney's recent situation through Carly, and Sigourney could certainly use this method to understand her. No matter what, her starting point was always for her own good.
This also indirectly shows that her emotional problems during the filming had become serious to a certain extent. Even if she was trying hard to pretend that nothing was wrong, it had been noticed by most of the staff, including Carly.
"I'm not sure when these problems arose, but..." Su Lingxi bit her lip and said hesitantly, "I can clearly feel that I seem to have entered a strange state of being out of control recently. Maybe it's because of the role, or maybe it's because of the new techniques I use. This state is difficult to describe specifically, but I am indeed troubled by it."
"I think I understand what you mean." Sigourney's tone became heavier. "This is the dilemma that almost every excellent method actor must face - how to clearly distinguish between the role and oneself, how to enter the play at the right time and also how to exit the play at the right time - frankly speaking, many people cannot solve these two problems in their entire lives."
Su Lingxi leaned back, her face becoming serious, "But I remember that you rarely seem to have this kind of trouble? You know, Evelin is also a character that is very different from you, but you often get into the role very quickly on the set."
It was less than two years ago that the filming of "Freedom Road" took place, and she still remembers many details clearly.
“Yes, but Evelyn is not a very difficult role.” Sigourney said calmly, “and the main tone of Freedom Road has always been positive. Have you noticed? Whether it is Evelyn or Charlotte, the script does not emphasize too much on their dark side emotions - it is obvious that these are two slightly idealistic characters.”
