In London in February, the breath of spring can already be smelled, while Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is still in the snow and ice. Because of his physique, Ryan dislikes this kind of weather the least, but there are many scenes in The Pianist. , All need to be completed in ice and snow.
In the hotel room, Ryan was sitting next to the old-fashioned fireplace, enjoying the pitiful little nutritious meal, and just about to pick up the hot coffee next to him, Roman Polanski, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke.
"Ryan, you have to maintain a diet. If you can, I hope you are thinner." He reminded.
"Roman, believe me, if you bring me a whole roasted lamb at this time, I can eat it all!" Ryan waved his hand and vented the grievances accumulated in his stomach for a long time, and said, "I weigh only one hundred now. A little over thirty-two pounds!"
Switching to the metric system means that they are in their early sixties. With Ryan's height of six feet one inch, such a thin body is like the bamboo in the location pictures sent by Ang Lee.
Ryan even doubted that if the wind and snow outside were slightly heavier, he would fly into the sky and become a part of the wind and snow.
Maybe you can turn into a snowman!
Thinking wildly, diverting attention is undoubtedly a good way to deal with hunger. Ryan was helpless. The sudden blizzard in Warsaw brought huge obstacles to the crew and forced the filming to be pushed back.
"Ryan, there are some shots. I hope you can be hungry for a while before shooting. The feeling of hunger will help you understand the character's situation at that time."
Roman Polanski’s words are simply worsening. Ryan is very suspicious. He made a special trip to invite this guy to take the shot. Is it the right choice?
Shaking his head, Ryan walked to the piano and made some simple preparations. With both hands resting on the black and white keys, Chopin's Ballarat No. 1 in G minor played. Although he had tossed the music aside over the years, he had practiced hard as a child. After coming to Warsaw. It didn't take much time to find the feeling of the year. But it takes time and practice to restore a certain level of performance.
Ryan remembers clearly that his previous life, Adrian Brody, paid a painful price for this role. During the filming, even while suffering from hunger every day, I had to spend at least four hours to practice piano, which is actually nothing.
If you want to get what kind of gains, you have to pay equal or more.
Besides, I'm afraid that I don't even have one-tenth of Spearman's back then.
After practicing piano for a while, Polanski and Ryan discussed the role. I left. Originally, he took over the job of director. He focused more on the subject matter of the movie and the script with an icy atmosphere. He never thought that he and the representative figures of Hollywood commercial films would be the same.
Unexpectedly. There are so many similarities between his views on this film and his own. Does this guy also have deep insights into art films?
It's just why he can't concentrate on artistic creation, instead of focusing on the commercial popcorn that he doesn't know so-called?
This is simply a crime, and wasting talent is a crime!
Of course Ryan doesn’t know what Roman Polanski thinks, nor does he care too much about his opinion of him. This old Polish man has a weird character, but standing behind the camera, he will become a serious and responsible director, perhaps once In the experience of rushing to Hollywood, he is not like traditional European directors, he has to add in the picture those things that the audience does not like.
When Ryan wants to come, his intersection with Roman Polanski is limited to this movie.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, and the monotonous ringtone was unusually harsh in the quiet room. Ryan looked at the displayed number and smiled.
"Hi, Nicole."
"My dear, guess where I am now." Accompanied by Nicole's voice was the sound of a woman's laughter and the rolling sound of the waves.
"Hawaii? Beach?" Ryan asked.
"That's right, but no extra points." Nicole put aside her laughter and asked, "How about you, how about you?"
"Warsaw is a land of ice and snow, and it is currently being ravaged by a blizzard." Ryan said helplessly, "I'm hiding in the hotel. The old-fashioned fireplace here is very distinctive."
"Protect yourself, Ryan." Nicole's voice was obviously worried. "Don't forget your physique."
"Don't worry, I'm very strong." Although knowing that Nicole can't see it, Ryan made a bent arm pose.
"Don't forget, you are not in good health now." Nicole probably remembered Ryan's somewhat impotent performance in London. "I knew that making this movie would suffer so much, and I would stop you if I said anything. ."
"Well, my dear, it's only a few months, and it will pass soon."
"Well, that's it for the time being... Ah, Tyler!" Nicole said after screaming, "The little guy wants to talk to you."
Then, Taylor's voice rang in his ears, "Ryan, I heard that it is snowing on your side?"
"It's estimated that the snow on the street will be below knees." Ryan walked to the window, and outside was a world of violent wind and heavy snow.
"Oh... this way." Listening to the voice, Ryan guessed that there shouldn't be any good things next. Sure enough, "I haven't seen snow for a long time, Ryan, can you send me a copy?"
After speaking, the little guy over there had already made a crisp laugh.
"My dear, if there is a chance, I will let FedEx send you to the North Pole to see the snow..."
"Just don't grin, it's too cold there."
After hanging up the phone, most of the depression brought about by the diet disappeared. Just as Ryan wanted to go around in the lobby of the hotel, the mobile phone rang again.
This time it is a number from Los Angeles.
"Hello, Ryan."
Despite the hoarse and blurred voice, Ryan could still hear its owner, "Charlie?"
"I didn't expect it to be me, and yes, I guess you rarely think of me."
"Did you...drink?" Ryan asked tentatively.
"In a good mood, I drank a little bit."
A good mood? Judging by Ryan's voice, this seems to be the other way around, right?
"Did something happen, Charlie?"
"You know, Ryan, I got the Golden Globe Award. The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, a very heavy award, many people congratulated me, I knew, I didn’t know, and some came to the door in person. There are also calls..."
"Sorry, Charlie." Ryan scratched his head. After he explained the public relations matters, he forgot about it. "Now congratulations, isn't it too late?"
"Late, how come?" Charlize Theron's voice sounded very weird, as if biting his lips and tongue, suppressing something, "I am not a fool, with my qualifications and connections, if you were not pushing behind you If you do, this award will definitely not fall into my hands..."
Listening to the strange murmur on the phone, Ryan sighed, "Charlie..."
"Ryan, how should I thank you? Oscar nomination for best actress, wow...how do you want me to thank you?" South Africa Diamond never stopped saying, "According to the rules of Hollywood, I must thank you , Don’t say that we are good friends, I have never regarded you as my good friend!"
"Charlie, you drank too much." Ryan suddenly felt a headache. What's the matter? Did he help others and make a mistake?
"Where are you now, London or Warsaw?"
The person on the other side of the phone must have drunk too much. Ryan didn’t even listen to what he said, and said to himself, “I’ve been in Hollywood for so long, and I know the rules of paying back...”
"Okay, Charlie, stop talking drunk."
Frowning, Ryan sighed again, and simply hung up the phone. God knew what a drunk woman would say.
It seems that I should keep some distance from the South African diamond?
After living for so many years together, Ryan knows the inferior nature of men. Even if his control is slightly stronger, he is definitely stronger than other men. Otherwise, there will be no Queen Nicole, and Na Tally...
Even if the other person's body shape to the attentive character is the type I like very much, but...
Ryan finally made up his mind. From now on, Charlize Theron’s affairs should be handed over to Pie Jinsli, and she should not blend in with it. If something happens, it’s a big trouble. .
Warsaw is icy and snowy, and Wellington, the capital of New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, is a hot summer. Peter Jackson temporarily moved his studio to this city to cope with the filming of the entire "Lord of the Rings".
At this time, the crew, including him and his wife, are in the process of determining the final audition results for several roles.
"Is there any opinion on the candidate of Legolas?" Peter Jackson continued after seeing everyone shaking their heads, "That's him."
He said to his assistant, "Send an official notice to Orlando Bloom's agent."
Then, the New Zealand fat man said a long list of actors' names, such as Sir Ian McLean who played Gandalf, and Ilya Wood who played Frodo Baggins played Kellan Choi. Cate Blanchett of Elle and so on.
At this point, there is only one main role left in this group play, and no candidate has been determined.
"Arwen? Evening star." Peter Jackson picked up an audition photo in the profile. The person on it had black hair and a long face. "I think the most suitable candidate is her."
Julie Stewart shook her head without hesitation, everything else is easy to say, this actor said she would not agree with anything.
"Peter." Francis Watts winked at her husband.
She didn't expect her husband to be so stubborn. Almost most people in the circle of this actress had heard of it, and she definitely couldn't pass Jenkins Pictures.
"okay then."
Peter Jackson is neither an idealist nor a stubborn paranoia. He took another piece of information, "Then choose her."
He turned his head again and said to his assistant, "Don't forget to notify Miss Charlize Theron's agent." ()
