America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 310 You can’t live without going crazy.
Art comes from life, and actual life experience can bring more inspiration and passion to creators, allowing actors to create characters with artistic explosiveness.

The rehearsals for Kate and Martin not only help them familiarize themselves with their roles and experience life, but also help them improve each other's artistic pursuits.

Get more in one fell swoop.

There are at least a dozen scenes in the script that have particularly high artistic content. Although only half of them will remain in the final film, they must all be filmed on the set.

Martin is a dedicated and good actor, and also a good actor with artistic pursuits, who is willing to make personal sacrifices for the performing arts.

The only problem is that in most of the scenes, he is extremely passive and the rhythm is completely controlled by the heroine Kate.

Nearing midnight, Kate struggled to get up and prepared to leave.

No longer rehearsing at this point, Martin invited: "Stay here tonight?"

Kate turned back, glanced at Martin, smiled slightly and said, "You have to remember, we are here for work."

What can Martin say? He can only say: "I understand. It's for the perfect artistic interpretation of the role and for the common pursuit of art."

Kate said: "I will come again tomorrow night. We need to be more involved in these scenes and have harmonious emotional exchanges."

"No matter what, I will fully cooperate with you." Martin put on his clothes and walked Kate to the door: "If you have any requests, just tell me. I'll be there whenever you call."

Kate stopped at the door, like Hannah in the script, and gently brushed Martin's young face: "I know you won't feel pressured, and you don't have to think too much. We are just here to work. This is just a small part of the long road of art."

Martin had such a big heart that he couldn't possibly think too much. He nodded immediately and said, "I have long been aware of dedicating myself to art."

Kate opened the door and left.

Martin closed the door and slept soundly until dawn.

After breakfast, he arrived at the crew on time.

Two days passed without the leading actor's role, and Martin joined the filming again.

The crew is running smoothly. Both Kate and director Sam are fully focused on their work as always.

Martin naturally didn't bother to meddle in other people's business and continued to work very professionally.

Before wrapping up, director Sam called a meeting with all the main cast and crew members.

"Except for the special art scenes, all the scenes before the separation of the male and female protagonists have been completed." He looked at Martin and Kate: "We will start re-shooting the art scenes tomorrow. We delayed the progress for a few days before. This part of the scene is only available for three days. I hope you can quickly adjust your state and devote yourself to the role."

Martin said nothing, but nodded.

Kate said: "I found the emotions and feelings that the heroine needed."

Sam added: "We will continue to clear the scene and shoot tomorrow."

The meeting was short and ended quickly.

When they left the studio, Kate and Martin walked together. Kate said, "I'll continue to rehearse with you tonight. Is that okay?"

Martin was very artistic and wanted to perform these scenes perfectly, so he asked, "Or was it the same time last night?"

After leaving the studio, Martin drove Kate to the parking lot, and they left in separate cars.

Not long after dinner, Kate appeared in Martin's room on time.

The two of them already had a tacit understanding, so there was no need to say much. They just followed the specially designed script and scene, and just like last night, they went over it again, familiarizing themselves with it, and communicating it again with emotion.

Sometimes, real experience can indeed solve many performance problems.

When filming the next day, Martin clearly felt that Kate was in better shape, completely in control of the rhythm and guiding him into the role.

The artistic shots that used to be difficult to shoot were basically passed in one take.

Director Sam was also in great shape. His voice could be heard from time to time on the set: "Kate, yes! That's the feeling. It's not just the fishing nets, but also the emotions that are created. Push hard with them!"

Although Martin was passive, he was inspired by Kate and tried his best.

After each scene, Sam praised Martin: "Well done! Keep up your fighting spirit and keep going!"

Martin could only respond with a shy smile like a leading man.

All the artistic shots were completed in just two days.

Martin also saw how dedicated Kate and Sam were.

Anyway, if it were him, there would be no way he could reach this state no matter what.

Someone once said that acting requires passion and enthusiasm.

At that time, Martin had struggled from the bottom for more than 20 years before he gradually became a decent person. Even many famous veteran actors had never achieved such a state.

He had never seen it with his own eyes, but he had heard some people talk about certain examples, such as the one who starred in Farewell My Concubine.

When Martin arrived in Hollywood, he did more than just fool around with Nicholson and Leonardo.

Similar topics are occasionally discussed.

Leonardo admits he is far from that.

Even a proud person like Nicholson didn't think he could reach that level, so he mentioned the name of Daniel Day-Lewis instead.

Kate may have entered a similar state in the past two days.

In comparison, Martin feels like he's still just an average actor with slightly better acting skills.

The filming of the art scene was completed one day earlier than planned, so the crew simply took a day off. Martin took a good rest and adjusted himself. After all, filming such a scene was very torturous, especially for a male actor who couldn't control the rhythm.

I slept in the morning and went to the airport in the afternoon to see Leonardo and Nicholson off to Paris.

Originally, the trio planned to have a party on the weekend.

But a female model named Poppy Delevingne had a date, so Leonardo, this bastard who forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty, kicked Martin away and rushed to Chanel's party.

Nicholson is going back to watch the Lakers' summer league.

On his way back from the airport, Martin received a call from Lily.

"I'm going to Los Angeles. When will you come back from London?" In Lily's room, the suitcase was open and some clothes were packed. "If you don't have time, I'll go to school by myself."

Martin can only go back after finishing the filming of this drama, and said: "The earliest I can go back is August. You go to school first. Who will accompany you to Los Angeles? Elena?"

Lily snorted, slightly dissatisfied: "She asked me to fly there by myself."

Martin said: "Send me the flight information after booking it, and I'll have someone pick me up at the airport."

"Okay." Lily still complained a little to her sister: "Elena refused to go to Los Angeles no matter what."

Martin ignored the words, and instead said, "It's just right that you are in Los Angeles. It will be more convenient for you not to mail the engraving materials in the future."

Lily was stunned holding the phone. Is this why Martin helped her get the recommendation letter?

It seems that future college life will be miserable?

Several images and lines of words flashed through Lily's mind: humanoid engraving machine!
Martin asked, "Why are you suddenly silent? Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the materials. They are all free. Don't worry about not having enough. I will purchase them in bulk from Australia."

Lily walked forward, came to the door, and bumped her head against the door frame. Her eyes were red, and tears of grievance almost flowed out, but she said, "I will try my best."

Martin said: "I have confidence in you and I support you completely."

Lily was silent for a moment, not wanting to talk to the person opposite her.

Martin's voice came from the receiver, "Old Bull, place another order for raw materials from Australia, twice the amount as before. Lily is about to go to college in Los Angeles, so we have to give her a little gift."

Is this a gift? Is this a gift? Lily was frantic, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only say politely, "Martin, don't spend too much money."

Martin said, "It's okay, just a little money."

Lily couldn't hold it anymore: "Elena called me, it must be about booking a flight. I'll call you after the flight is booked."

Martin hung up the phone and wanted to call Jessica to ask her to pick him up at the airport, but after thinking about it, he called Thomas.

If Martin didn't find something for the agent to do for two days, he felt like the agent's commission was crying.

A good celebrity client will never let his agent be idle.

After a day of rest and adjusting his condition, Martin regained his energy and devoted himself to the subsequent shooting.

All the scenes of the male protagonist as a teenager have been filmed, and the remaining scenes are of middle-aged Michel.

Accordingly, Kate also became the elderly Hannah.

If you want to compete for an Oscar, you must have the determination to sacrifice for art, and then you must have a breakthrough performance.

According to the plan, both Martin and Kate will have a makeover to suit the so-called Oscar taste.

Especially the role of elderly Hannah, which requires Kate to be old and ugly.

Relatively speaking, Martin is still a handsome middle-aged man.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is 50% performance and 50% makeup.

Like the female devil, it is not so much that Charlize Theron's acting is excellent, but rather that her makeup is in place. Charlize Theron is determined to fight to the death, and she tortures a living beauty into a female version of abomination.

This is the breakthrough advocated by the Oscars, which is very different from the standards of the three major European film festivals.

The crew invited the industry's top makeup artists and stylists, and Martin and Kate spent at least two hours on makeup every day.

Sometimes it can even reach more than three hours.

Bruce would also find the right opportunity to take pictures of Martin putting on makeup, and with the crew's consent, post them on Martin's blog, causing fans to marvel.

"It took three hours to put on makeup. It was really hard work, Martin."

"Feel sorry for Martin for five minutes."

"Being a star is really hard and tiring. Martin has it easy."

Crazy fans exist all over the world, regardless of country or region.

Apart from filming, Martin occasionally takes time to check out his personal blog or the official website of the Coca Cola Cult.

Seeing the fans' messages, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old Bull, you know what? I used to feel uncomfortable and even disgusted when I saw these."

When he saw the traffic at that time, it was no exaggeration to say that he was envious, jealous and hateful.

Bruce looked at the messages from fans and asked, "Not now."

"Everyone likes to hear compliments." Martin said bluntly: "I have become the person I once hated the most."

He suddenly thought of Blake Lively: "I slept with a female fan!"
