Chapter 60: power of the high

After three days, Queen Padmé Amidala, whom Dunn had been waiting for for a long time, finally appeared.

Along with her, Keira Knightley, who was only 13 years old, played the role of Queen Amidala's servant and double.

Compared with this undeveloped little loli, Dunn's target is naturally the goddess Natalie Portman in his heart.

At this time, three makeup artists surrounded Natalie, giving her a complicated queen dress.

Dunn sat aside. For the first half hour, he often talked about some work-related topics, but later it became more and more personal.

"Did the final exam go well?"

"very smooth."

"All A's?"

Natalie smiled confidently, "All A's!"

Tang Enzan said: "It's hard to imagine that you usually spend so much time acting and still learn so well."

Natalie pouted, "What's so difficult about this? Anyone who is deprived of dating time can only read in the study every day. It's normal to get an A."

The strict discipline of her mother Shirley Hirschler made Natalie Portman dissatisfied with the rebellious period.

Tang En sighed and hesitated, "Actually, I called you several times, and Mrs. Hushler answered."

Natalie got excited and pouted, "But I don't know!"

The makeup artist quickly warned, "Miss Portman, please don't move, it will affect the makeup."

"Humph!"

Natalie pouted angrily.

"Actually, Mrs. Hirschler also cares about you." Seeing that her face became more and more unhappy, Tang En changed the subject and said with a smile: "But now, you have joined the crew. Do you want to eat?"

Natalie's heartbeat accelerated a little. Dunn's performance on the audition day gave her a vague guess. Back at school, she quietly mentioned it to a few girlfriends who had been in love, and they all said it was love at first sight.

Listening to Dunn's invitation, Natalie could not wait to agree immediately, and she was not too emotional, "But...my mother doesn't allow me to go out with men at night."

"What about you? Would you like to?"

"Of course I would!" Natalie blurted out subconsciously, and then she felt that she should be a little girly, she bit her lip and said, "I'm dying of boredom. My mother treats me like a prisoner every day!"

Dunn said with a smile: "Mrs. Hirschler, let me tell you, I will invite you to talk about your understanding of the movie, presumably she will not reject me."

Natalie couldn't help but whisper: "Is this the director's privilege?"

Dunn laughed, "Even so!"

…

The biggest attraction of the whole movie is the special effects and actions. Relatively speaking, the performance of the actors is much less important.

However, Dunn doesn't want a whole movie without a good character, so the performance requirements for actors are much higher than the original.

He also knew that it was far more difficult to play a one-man show against the air than to play against an actor. Everything is based on imagination. This is not only a question of good or bad acting skills, but also the level of image thinking.

Relatively speaking, it is easier for a young man like Ben Affleck to accept it, while Liam Neeson has repeatedly caused trouble for Dunn.

"Stop! Liam, how many times have I said it, acting is not a melodrama! Expression, what about your expression?" Dunn interrupted the filming loudly, looking at Liam Neeson who was speaking in front of the green screen, Can not help but gave birth to a little helpless.

Liam Neeson is also a number one figure in Hollywood. Back then, he was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscar for "Schindler's List". He was publicly accused of poor acting by a 20-year-old child. annoyed.

"Dan, I don't understand what you mean, what did I do wrong?"

"You're right! But I need your performance to be more attentive, okay?"

"Didn't you say that Jedi Knights should be cold?"

"Coldness doesn't mean unfeeling! Liam, do you understand? You value Anakin, but behind all the rumors, what kind of danger and murderous intentions lie behind? You have to look forward to it, and you have to be afraid. !"

Tang En was a little speechless. He really didn't know what to say to such a big-time studio boss with status and no acting skills.

At this moment, George Lucas came over, glanced at the shooting scene full of gunpowder, and couldn't help sighing.

Liam Neeson was the male number one he decided early on, but he didn't expect such a big conflict with Dunn's ideas.

Is it Dunn's fault?

No, as a director, it is his responsibility to make the actors perform better.

But what about Liam Neeson? He has been acting for 20 or 30 years, and it seems that he has always been like this. Steven Spielberg has not let him change. Why does Dunn Walker make these "excessive" demands?

George Lucas also has a big head, "Dawn, this is not an important shot, there is no need to be too harsh."

Tang En sternly said: "George, how many close-up live-action shots are there in the whole movie? Apart from the animated characters, it's the wide-angle shots of fights. I need this movie to have flesh and blood. Only close-up shots can make the movie more real."

Liam Neeson spread out his hands, a look of fearlessness and indifference.

George Lucas frowned, "Dawn, your request... does not conform to Liam's play style in the past few decades."

These words are very graceful, but they point out that Dunn's requirements are beyond the scope of Liam Neeson's acting skills.

Tang En's face turned cold, "Since that's the case, just delete this group of shots!"

"No!" Lucas suddenly became serious, "Dawn, this is an important shot that links the previous and the next. It has led to rumors of 'balance', and it also indicates the future of Anakin. It is indispensable!"

Dunn shrugged, "I know, I can let Ben Affleck replace him, borrowing the words of 'Obi-Wan', to express the uncertainty of the rumors and the dilemma of 'Qui-Gang' from the side."

"This…"

George Lucas was a little at a loss, and was a little surprised by Dunn's toughness.

Has it come to the point of deleting the male lead role?

This is a precursor to tearing the skin!

Liam Neeson was also stunned. He really did not expect that the young Dunn Walker would have a bigger temper and a tougher attitude than Steven Spielberg and George Lucas!

Liam Neeson, who was still thinking of competing with the young director, immediately became weaker and his expression softened, "This... Dunn, I think what you said makes sense, let's shoot a few more test shots. Just a moment, okay?"

Tang En gave him a deep look, "Can you act well?"

"Try a few more, and it won't be too bad." Liam Neeson has been acting for decades, and it's not useless. It's just that this kind of sci-fi and action film doesn't need to be too hard.

"Then try it."

When Tang En waved his hand, he didn't have the attitude of a young man at all. Even when dealing with a veteran actor like Liam Neeson, he showed the aura of a high-ranking person.

George Lucas looked at Dunn's slightly raised mouth, and his heart suddenly jumped: "This kid... won't he use me as a gunman?"

He was surprised, surprised by Tang En's ability, surprised by his wrist, and even more surprised by his ingenuity.

Looking at Dunn Walker sitting in the director's chair and looking at the viewfinder with one eye, George Lucas actually gave birth to a vision that far exceeded the vision he had when he created "Star Wars".

This kid, I am afraid that he will rewrite the pattern of Hollywood!

…

Natalie Portman is still underage, so her agent and guardian, Shirley Hirschler, can always oversee the set.

When the filming of the afternoon scene was over, Tang En was in an uneasy mood, and his pace was heavy. He thought of a dozen reasons in his mind, just to convince this "stubborn" mother.

"Mrs. Hershler, I want to invite Nat to Chinatown for dinner..."

Before she finished speaking, a smile appeared on Shirley Hirschler's slightly old face, "Yes, I believe Nat will be very happy to be invited by Director Walker."

Dunn was a little surprised, so simple?

Shirley Hirschler seemed to see Dunn's surprise and said meaningfully, "But Nat believes in Judaism, and we have strict rules."

Be vegetarian, be frugal, and keep yourself before marriage...

Dunn smiled and said, "Nate is still underage, I understand."

This is California, and it is a crime to have **** with a girl under the age of eighteen!

Even if Dunn had 10,000 thoughts, he would not dare to take such a risk.

Besides, in Dunn's heart, Natalie Portman is different from the few female companions he has been with in the past. She is pure and clean, she is young, she is a piece of undeveloped jade.

Tang En was very willing to make this piece of rough jade more beautiful and magnificent.
