Chapter 772： Difficult emotional performance

Standing next to the entrance of the Sarah Grand Theater, Ryan looked at Natalie walking slowly on the red carpet not far away. Every time she beckoned, she could always bring out the cheers, the red carpet right. The fans on the side were almost crazy about it, and the flash on the left side of the photo zone even suppressed the rays of the sun moving to the west.

"Nate is so beautiful."

Gail Gado, who was next to him, looked over there and said to Ryan, "What do you think of the dress I chose for Nat?"

"It turns out you praised your own vision." Ryan said calmly, "Nat is not white at first, and this dark red dress exposes this flaw."

"Forget it, Ryan."

Over the past few years, Gail Gado has roughly understood Ryan’s temper, because he criticized it unceremoniously, “Your vision of clothing and fashion can’t even reach the passing line.”

"Okay." Ryan arranged his dark dress that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. "I admit that."

"Hi, Mr. Jenkins."

A middle-aged female director came to say hello, Ryan shook hands with her, "Hello, Ms. Campion."

"Why didn't Scarlett come?"

Ryan shook hands with another person when he heard Gail Gado's whispered questioning, and then said, "It seems that I have gone to Lanai with Taylor and Christine on vacation."

"These guys." Gail Gado just murmured casually. She knew that these people who had known Ryan for more than ten years had privileges. "But Ryan, why don't you go on the red carpet? Believe it. The organizing committee must be very happy for you to walk on the red carpet."

"My dear." Ryan looked at Natalie, who was slowly coming here, "It is enough for you and Nat to leave the beautiful place to you. There is always some work to be done in advance behind the scenes."

They came to Venice two days ago. Unlike Natalie, who attended public events and interviews everywhere, Ryan not only negotiated something with the head of the public relations team who came here in advance, but also contacted many people in private. To get a delicious piece from the big cake of the Venice Film Festival, work outside the theaters is even more important.

Compared with the Oscars, the Venice Film Festival, which advertises art and experimentation, has a more obvious meaning. The same film rarely wins two awards. Ryan is aiming for the Golden Lion Award first, and the best actress second.

Natalie came over, took Ryan's arm, and walked into the Sarah Grand Theater together.

As soon as Ryan took her to greet the members of the jury, Cate Blanchett walked over.

"It's been a long time, Ryan." She smiled here.

"Come here directly from Sydney?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." She pointed to the other side. "I'll go and say hello to Ms. Jane Campion."

After speaking, Blanchett walked away from Ryan, completely ignoring Natalie who was holding him from start to finish.

Cate Blanchett's "I'm Not Present" also participated in the competition unit. This film is an investment from Kidman Studios, but their main target is the best actress.

Natalie curled her lips in the direction of Blanchett's departure. She didn't deal with the Australian actresses, and it wasn't something that had only appeared in the past few years.

"My dear." Ryan deliberately reminded her, "Your mouth is about to reach the base of your ears. You are the director of the opening film and the focus of the scene."

Squeezing Ryan's arm hard, Natalie shook hands with the person who came by.

"Hi, Kayla."

"You are so beautiful today, Nat."

The people who came over were acquaintances, Keira Knightley turned to Ryan again, "You are still so handsome, Ryan."

"Thank you." Ryan nodded slightly.

"Nate, I didn't expect you to have started to be a director." She seemed a little envious. "The film that I directed has also become the opening film of the festival. Congratulations..."

Although she could hear a little sourness from Keira Knightley's words, Ryan didn't worry about anything. Unlike her previous life, she and Natalie were no longer on the same level.

Afterwards, Ryan and Natalie greeted Mark Mueller, the chairman of the board of directors of the Venice Film Festival.

This famous Italian producer went to study in China in the 1970s, and his first wife was a Chinese. It can be described as an authentic Chinese master. "Yellow Earth" and "Raise the Red Lantern" were all created by him. Introduced to the European film industry, Chinese-language films have been so strong at the Venice Film Festival in recent years and have a direct relationship with him.

In fact, if you look at the guests attending the opening ceremony, you can find the strength of Chinese films at the Venice Film Festival. They account for nearly a quarter of the number, completely overwhelming the powerful Hollywood gang.

Although Ryan has already done some work, he does not have much confidence in whether "Black Swan" can achieve one of the main goals.

After all, this is not Oscar, nor Cannes.

However, Mark Muller is currently reforming the Venice Film Festival, which is good for "Black Swan". In view of the depression and depression of the Venice Film Festival, he has also performed some operations on the film festival to make it a " The "flexible" film festival, especially in the last two years, has invited a large number of Hollywood films every time.

As for the chairman of the jury surnamed Zhang, Disney's Far East branch and some partners have already greeted vaguely, depending on how he chooses in the end.

You know, this one has always been obsessed with Oscar.

If the other party is willing to help, just help him get an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film in the future.

For Ryan, the exchange of interests has long been familiar to him.

Entering the theater's screening room and finding a seat, Ryan and Natalie had just sat down, and Gal Gado had also walked over, her seat was next to Natalie.

"Did something happen, Gail?" Natalie asked her.

"Nothing." Gail Gado sat down and adjusted a more comfortable posture. "You know, Nat? People who greet me are always talking about Wonder Woman or Princess Diana, calling me plus There are very few people with many young ladies."

"Superhero movie sequelae." Natalie laughed and patted her comfortingly, "I'm not like you. When I walked to the fan's signature, many people were calling Katniss..."

"Gail." Ryan suggested. "Try some other types of roles."

"That's all." Natalie whispered in her friend's ear, "Take it slow."

"I heard that you are planning a new movie?" Gail Gado was well informed, and he was not polite with Natalie, "Is there a suitable role for me?"

"Sorry, Gail." Natalie didn't conceal the meaning. "That's a script about the Iraq War. The slightly more important characters are all men."

"War?" She was puzzled.

"Not what you think, anyway..."

The host of the opening ceremony stepped onto the stage, and Natalie said briefly, "It's not a war epic, it's a reflective theme. If you have time, you can go to my side to read the script."

The chairman of the Venice Film Festival, Mark Taylor, and the chairman of the jury, director Zhang Moumou, successively took the stage to give speeches, and then the opening film kicked off.

"A prince went hunting and fell in love with a white swan princess who could only appear in human form at night and was "imprisoned". The prince invited the princess to attend his birthday dinner, when he would confess his love to marry the princess. .

However, the white swan princess who was cursed by the evil magician finally failed to attend. Instead, the other woman who transformed into the white swan princess—the magician’s daughter—was just wearing a black dress, like a black swan. Confused the prince's heart.

In the end, the prince saw through the conspiracy and returned to the white swan princess, but was framed by the evil magician. The white swan princess went with the prince swept away by the big waves and fell into the lake and died. "

The story line of the movie is probably like this. Following the plot of the famous ballet "Swan Lake", it adopts another ingenious and complicated "play in play" mode, combining the depression and schizophrenia issues that are most popular in literary and artistic movies. The art of auditory hallucinations and hallucinations in the medical field are processed into weird visual feelings and jumping thinking equations, and the vividness and mystery that images can only show with the charm of "lie".

Although the current film is made by Natalie, Ryan's focus is nothing more than Natalie's performance in it and the shooting techniques used.

After all, these will be related to the future harvest of the film in the award season.

At the end of the film, when Natalie performed the black swan, it was shocking and full of appeal. In addition to the visual effects of music, dance and lens special effects, her look and eyes were also incredibly amazing and penetrating. Full of confidence and magic.

In fact, compared to most of the previous time, Nina's only and timid and cautious, especially the look of fear and fear, the shock is more intense, and Natalie can interpret both so accurately and vividlyPhase Compared to her popular Amidala and Katniss, this role undoubtedly has more room for her to play her acting skills.

In addition, every time Nina is facing the mirror in the bathroom dressing room alone, she always performs with extremely difficult emotions. Her feelings that she usually suppresses in front of others, but release when she is alone, are very close. In long-lens shooting, it is the most fully tested method of acting.

And Natalie did it seamlessly, every time it was more exciting.

All of these reminded Ryan of the movie more than ten years ago. At that time, Nat's performance was shocking enough to have the magic power to turn tigers around the world into butter. Now all this is normal.

There are also a series of directing techniques.

The use of color and light has always been an area where Natalie is good at. The background and meaning of pink, gray and black and white have a stronger impact in the film than in the original set.

For Nina, the protagonist, Natalie used a lot of follow-up techniques, and the plot following Nina was extremely brilliant, which made people feel uneasy, horrified, worried and struggling with her. r1152()
