Chapter 349 No more patience
"What's going on with you and Bryce?"
One afternoon, as the filming continued, Julie's father was painting in the yard with Julie beside him, so Julie's father asked this question.
Julie was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her lips, and then she denied: "What do you mean? We are fine!"
After less than half a month of filming, Sijia was getting better. Aidan Quinn has a lot of experience in acting, so such a performance is not difficult for him. "The No. 1 camera changed to a 35mm lens, installed a square frame, and focused on shooting. The No. 2 camera focused on shooting. Julie's facial expression, Julie, please restrain your mouth..." Little Gilbert continued to set up the set.
The performance continued, and Julie's father raised his eyebrows: "That's good, it seems I made a mistake."
Julie's smile became even sweeter, and she asked her father: "Why do you think so?"
"No reason, just..." Julie's father fiddled with the paintbrush and looked at his daughter: "I keep talking about him."
"Really?" Julie didn't realize it herself, she always smiled.
Julie's father nodded and looked at his daughter.
Julie lowered her head in embarrassment: "I think it's because of his eyes, or his smile."
"What about others?"
"What?"
Julie's father educated him: "You have to see the whole picture! Julie."
"What do you mean?" Julie was confused.
Julie’s father held up the painting and explained: “The painting is not just the sum of its parts. The cow itself is just a cow, the meadow itself is just grass and flowers, and the sun shining through the forest is just a ray of light.
But if you put them together, a beautiful picture emerges. "
This scene echoes the scene between Bryce and his grandfather later, forming a contrast.
There is also a scene in the film where Julie climbs a sycamore tree and looks at the rising and setting sun in the distance. In order to pursue the best picture, the crew's photographers searched the entire state of Michigan and shot dozens of shots.
If the picture is not up to standard, it may need to be processed later and then edited into the feature film.
"Actually, I don't think you are making a love movie." Anne Hathaway, who had finished promoting "Legally Blonde", came to the set to observe the filming of this scene and suddenly said to little Gilbert.
Little Gilbert was stunned and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Anne Hathaway expressed her opinion: "I think the film is more about the growth and thinking of youth.
In today's era when relationships between people are becoming more and more cheap and utilitarian, the exploration and thinking of love between the male and female protagonists in the film, as two teenagers, is even more valuable. "
Little Gilbert was surprised: "When did you become an artistic young woman?"
"Just now..." Anne Hathaway smiled sweetly, looking at the pastoral scenery in the distance and said, "It feels good to take a vacation in the countryside once in a while."
"Yeah, it smells like cow dung and horse dung." Little Gilbert is very good at destroying beautiful illusions.
"Oh, you're annoying. You've destroyed the picture I just constructed." Anne Hathaway couldn't stand it and said coquettishly.
"Hahaha," little Gilbert laughed, and added: "Not only are there cow dung and horse dung, but there are also flowers, plants, trees, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers."
Anne Hathaway was then satisfied: "This is pretty much it..."
The filming of "Heartbeat" was not very difficult for little Gilbert and the crew, so everyone was basically relaxed.
The filming of the film did not take long. The filming started at the end of October, and the filming, which lasted 25 days, is about to be completed.
Winter is coming next, and the pastoral scenery of autumn is gradually fading away, which is no longer suitable for the atmosphere of the film, so it would be better to finish filming early.
The last two scenes are one with Bryce and his grandfather, and the other with Bryce planting a tree in front of Julie's house.
I have to say that although old Gilbert works as a producer, his acting skills are not bad at all. Watching him act, it feels like everything comes naturally.
Perhaps apart from women, old Gilbert's favorite thing was movies, an addiction to acting.
He plays Bryce's grandfather, and this conversation with Bryce can touch many people.
“Some people are shallow, and some people are as beautiful as they are beautiful. But one day you will meet someone as brilliant as a rainbow.
When you meet this person, you will feel that no one can compare to her..."
"Wow, this line is really good. Am I really that good?" The old man finished the play and was still thinking about his lines.
Little Gilbert rarely complained: "No, that's Bryce's grandpa, it has nothing to do with you."
"Do you want to be so direct?" The old man was not ashamed, but gossiped: "I remember you fell in love with the cheerleader of your school when you were in high school. What happened to you later?"
Scarlett happened to be there, listening with her ears pricked up.
Little Gilbert rolled his eyes and said, "That's all an old story. I wasn't sensible at that time and didn't understand what it means to like."
"Really? Have you ever had sex? It won't be a loss if you do."
"Hey, Scarlett is still here!" said little Gilbert.
"What are you afraid of? Scarlett is not a child anymore, so she doesn't understand everything." The old man turned to Scarlett and asked: "Sijia, do you have someone you like?"
Scarlett was suddenly asked, stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at little Gilbert, and whispered: "Yes..."
"Who is it?" The old man was very confident: "I'll help you get rid of him." "No, I'll do it myself..." Sijia covered her face and fled in a hurry.
In the last scene, Julie, played by Scarlett, came down to read with a book, and Julie’s father sat in the living room reading the newspaper. Julie suddenly spots Bryce digging a hole in her yard and becomes angry.
"What is he doing?"
"Julie, calm down, I allowed him to do it."
"Permission? What permission? He is digging a hole!"
"I told him that it can be dug."
Julie didn't understand why her father did this. When Bryce brought a sycamore tree, Julie understood.
She opened the door and walked out, looking into Bryce's charming eyes and smiling.
"Do you need help?"
"Of course……"
So the two boys and girls finally put aside their grudges and planted their own sycamore tree together.
As the camera zooms out, from the sycamore tree to the house, and then to the pastoral scenery behind the house, a beautiful picture is formed. "Heartbeat" is finally completed.
For the closing party, because of the nature of the film and the fact that the main actors are two teenagers, we didn’t go to a nightclub to have a party, we just had a simple Michigan barbecue.
Scarlett was very excited to play the heroine in a Little Gilbert movie for the first time. Although teenagers are not allowed to drink, she couldn't help but drink a few drinks and became a little tipsy.
"Robert, your performance is very good." Little Gilbert chatted with Robert Pattinson and did not notice Scarlett's condition.
Robert Pattinson was a little embarrassed. He said gratefully: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity and letting me play this role."
"You're welcome," little Gilbert asked again, "Have you seen "Harry Potter"?"
"Of course I have seen it. It is very famous in British novels and movies. I am a big fan of this series." Robert Pattinson said.
"Hahaha, that's great. Are you interested in participating in this project?" Little Gilbert asked again.
To be honest, from the beginning, I was working with a big director like Gilbert Jr., and then I played a supporting role in "Harry Potter", which was a bit of a loss.
But Robert Pattinson is a true fan, and he immediately agreed: "Of course I am interested, our whole family is a fan of "Harry Potter".
They'd be really happy that I got to be in Harry Potter. "
Even if this matter is finalized, Robert Pattinson will appear in the "Harry Potter" series.
But when he saw Robert Pattinson, little Gilbert thought that he was another youth idol movie that was popular all over the world. Compared with "Pumping Heart", that movie is the real youth idol movie.
That's right, it's the "Twilight" series.
Little Gilbert had asked Anna to pay attention to see if there was a "Twilight" novel on the market, but it seemed that the novel had not been published yet.
If my guess is correct, "Twilight" should still be in production at this time.
In the online entertainment novel that little Gilbert read in his previous life, he was reborn in the past. Before the novel came out, he should take advantage of it and write it out in advance.
But things are not that simple. Film creation is film creation, and literary creation are two completely different fields.
A well-written novel may not necessarily make a good movie.
Similarly, if you make a good movie, you may not be able to write a good novel.
Moreover, little Gilbert only knew that "Twilight" made money. He was not interested in such subjects and had no idea what the story of the film was.
So after the original novel comes out, just find someone to get the copyright, just like the "Harry Potter" novels.
Just as he was thinking about these messy things, a soft body smelling of alcohol suddenly came over.
"Scarlett? Why are you drinking?" Little Gilbert was surprised.
Scarlett might have had some wine and was very courageous. She found little Gilbert's face and was about to kiss her, but little Gilbert blocked her with his hand.
"Forget it about drinking, why do you still drink so much?" Little Gilbert frowned and carried Scarlett back to her resting room in a princess hug.
After putting Scarlett on the bed and covering her with a quilt, little Gilbert was about to call his assistant to take care of Scarlett.
But at this moment Scarlett suddenly took little Gilbert's hand: "Don't go..."
Little Gilbert was stunned, then sat beside the bed and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Do you have a headache? I want you to stop drinking."
"No, it's not," Scarlett seemed to have regained some clarity. After seeing clearly that the person in front of her was little Gilbert, she boldly kissed little Gilbert's mouth.
"Hey! Scarlett, you're drunk..." Little Gilbert hid quickly.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk." Scarlett hugged little Gilbert's waist and refused to let him go, while her mouth continued to search for the position of little Gilbert's lips.
"I like you, little Gilbert, I like you..."
After filming this movie, Sijia seemed to be encouraged and finally revealed her feelings tonight.
Little Gilbert was stunned. His first reaction was not to refuse, but to think that Scarlett had just turned seventeen and was not yet an adult. Was it a crime for him to do this?
