“Cut! So good!” Greta shouted excitedly, “Nicole, you did a great job in this scene! I think we only need to shoot a few more close-ups to complete this scene.”
She speaks very quickly, looks very excited, and doesn't have the slightest air of a director - but if people think that she is an easy-going person, they are wrong.
Even Su Lingxi, who has a good personal relationship with her, does not enjoy such good treatment every day.
Greta would only reveal this excited expression when they performed particularly well - Su Lingxi had only seen this twice in the half month since joining the group.
This shows that her performance just now was indeed amazing, otherwise Greta would not have been so excited as to abandon her director's airs in public.
"I think the scene of switching personalities needs another close-up shot." Su Lingxi walked over to her with a smile and watched the playback on the monitor. "It would be best if there was a slow transition to the far side, so that the connection would be more natural."
"Oh, of course, you and I think the same thing on this point." Greta nodded, her tone more enthusiastic, "Your control over micro-expressions is really amazing, it's like you've been reborn. I bet anyone can tell at a glance that these are two completely different personalities. You distinguish the characteristics of the two personalities so thoroughly, it's amazing!"
The footage just now was continuous, and she did not make any edits, which means that without any changes in the background, makeup and clothing, Nicole vividly and coherently showed two independent personalities through changes in facial expressions.
This is incredible! How did she do it?
It is no exaggeration to say that many experiential masters in Hollywood cannot distinguish different personalities through acting as thoroughly as she does - there was a moment when Greta even felt that Nicole's acting skills were not inferior to Daniel Gabin - the latter had also played a role with split personality, and the effect he showed was not fundamentally different from the former.
In addition to surprise, Greta was more grateful: Fortunately, she was not influenced by other people's ideas and insisted on waiting for Nicole's free time.
After watching the effect of this play, Greta became more convinced: No one is more suitable for the role of Eve than Nicole, and she is lucky to have her...
This scene is one of the highlights of the whole story. Although Su Lingxi's performance in the first shot was very good, in order to achieve perfection, Greta still took the two of them to shoot several close-up shots before completing it.
After completing the morning schedule, Su Lingxi did not communicate much with Brandon. She just nodded at him lightly, and then went to the restaurant with Zhu Hanqiu.
Although Brandon could not hide his disappointment, he could also understand her slightly cold attitude towards him outside the play: it is a big challenge for an actor to play a role with multiple personalities like Eve, and many senior actors may not be able to do it easily - not to mention that Nicole is still so young, and to be able to shape the character to this level, she must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. He certainly cannot hold her back and ruin her sense of immersion in the play.
However, Brandon's guess is just one of many.
Another reason why Su Lingxi began to deliberately keep a distance from him was because she felt "lost".
Greta is undoubtedly an excellent screenwriter, and Eve, created by her, is a woman who is very easy for people to empathize with - perhaps because they are both women, perhaps because of the same dark childhood experiences, or for some other reason - in short, from the second day of filming, Su Lingxi realized that she had fallen into a very unusual state.
She seemed to have put herself in the shoes of Eve in the story, sometimes feeling aggrieved, resentful, and depressed, and sometimes unable to help getting excited and leaping for joy, and being talkative anytime and anywhere - if the well-educated and well-mannered third personality "Jane" in the later part of the script is very similar to the image created by Su Lingxi to the outside world, then the two extreme personalities of Eve White and Eve Black can be said to have nothing to do with her.
But now she often allows herself to immerse in such extreme emotions of ice and fire. Even if she still has a sober self left, she is not willing to bother maintaining her image anymore. Instead, she enjoys this state similar to being slightly drunk.
Just like this moment——
"Why not almond milk?" Before they even reached the restaurant, Su Lingxi unexpectedly lost her temper. It's not quite true that she lost her temper. She just frowned and complained in a very indulgent tone: "Didn't I tell you? No oat milk. Why didn't you listen to my request?"
Her eyes were delicate and non-threatening, and she didn't look angry but rather like she was acting coquettishly.
Zhu Hanqiu blushed instantly when she looked at him. He hurriedly took the cup of coffee from her and lowered his head subconsciously. "I, I understand. I'll go buy another cup as requested."
She was so nervous that she almost stuttered because of the other side of Su Lingxi that suddenly appeared: her boss had never been the type to be too intimate with people around her, and even though she had long been one of her most trusted assistants, she had never seen her like this - she had been smiling and saying that she wanted to drink iced Americano with oat milk an hour ago, but an hour later she suddenly wanted to drink almond milk.
It sounded like a somewhat unreasonable request, but... after Zhu Hanqiu received a glance of anger from his boss, his heart immediately started beating wildly.
Even though she has been living with this face day and night for several years, she is still shocked by its beauty from time to time.
If you want to develop resistance to this level of beauty... you'll probably have to wait until next life.
Su Lingxi didn't dwell on this little thing. She just glared at her charmingly and said angrily, "You're so stupid. You should stay with me at this time. Someone will naturally rush to help you buy coffee."
As she spoke, she admired the assistant's slightly red cheeks with interest - it was obvious that she was enjoying Eve Blake's psychological state at the moment, not bound by any rules and intoxicated by her own beauty and charm.
