Rebirth In Hollywood

In the Western world, the swan is a complex and strange image, which can represent purity, but it is also the embodiment of carnal desire. Zeus, the king of the gods, was overwhelmed by the beauty of Leda, the wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus, and turned into a swan and its wild harmony. , The swan's snow-white **, soft long neck, soft feathers, plump and sensual body can also be regarded as the ultimate combination of women's sexual characteristics.

Another symbol of the swan is the poetic and aesthetic incarnation of the artists.

Long before the release of "Transformers", Natalie passed a revised "Black Swan" script to Ryan. The original script was just written by Ryan based on his memory and his own understanding of the film. With his attitude towards literary films, it is inevitable that some private goods are included in them.

Relatively speaking, Natalie, who has sufficient support from Ryan and does not need to think too much about the market, can look at the story with a fairer perspective. The heroine Nina is a mentally ill patient, and Natalie herself He is a top student who graduated from Harvard University in clinical psychology, and he must have his own understanding of this aspect.

When the two were talking on the phone, Natalie once told him that she had taken the script back to Harvard, consulted her own tutor on the psychological issues in it, and then made some revisions.

One of the biggest changes is the black swan. After Natalie's change, the black swan is not a complete symbol of evil. It represents sex, struggle, not cowardice, not concealing, and not suppressing all desires.

"Nate."

Scarlett walked behind the camera, "Will I still shoot for you next?"

"Can you?" Ryan adjusted his gray shirt to look more like an art director.

"Don't underestimate people, Ryan?" Scarlett said dissatisfiedly, "I've been studying with Nat for a long time, and it's definitely not a problem to be an assistant director."

"Okay, you two."

After walking around in this temporarily arranged office, Natalie confirmed that there was no problem and walked back. "Scarlett, pay attention to the angle of the camera. Ryan, prepare for the next scene."

After speaking, she clapped her hands to all the people in the room, "Everyone cheer up and get ready to start shooting!"

After rehearsing the walk with Ryan and walking to the door of the office facing the camera, Natalie looked at him and suddenly asked, "Would it be better for me to spread my hair out?"

"What?" Ryan looked up. Natalie's long brown hair was neatly pulled back.

"The bun symbolizes abstinence and strict self-discipline.

"Natalie didn't wait for Ryan to answer, she took off her bun and broke her neat long hair." Nina intends to use the long-ignored, gendered charm to make a last-ditch effort, she actually realizes that she It is beautiful, but it has never been publicized and used. "

Spreading his hand to Natalie, Ryan said nothing.

"start!"

When Ryan and Natalie were ready, Scarlett's crisp voice came from behind the camera. The two immediately entered the state.

"It might not be right now."

The careful girl followed the art director into the office, and Thomas, played by Ryan, nodded lightly, "It's okay."

Walking into the office, which was actually just separated by props, Ryan threw away the documents he was holding. Sitting at the desk, looking at Natalie.

"I just wanted to tell you." The girl's voice was always suppressed and timid, and her eyes were dodging, "I practiced the black swan clip last night. I've done it."

Ryan just nodded, but said nothing.

Natalie's eyes flickered again, seeming to have a little more courage. "I think you should know..."

"Nina, listen." Ryan interrupted her directly, "To be honest, I don't care about your skills..."

"I think you should know..."

"Needless to say." Ryan interrupted the girl again, "We've already chosen someone else."

Ryan walked over, patted Natalie's face lightly, and opened the door, "I'm sorry, Nina."

"Okay, thanks." The girl's voice was barely detectable.

She walked towards the door, and when she was about to leave the door, Ryan suddenly closed the door and stopped her.

"Is that so?" He tilted his head to look at her. "You won't try to make me change my mind? You must think it's possible, otherwise what are you doing here?"

"I'm coming..." The girl hesitated for a while, but still said, "I'm here to ask you to let me play this role."

"Really?" Ryan turned his head and walked back, pulled a chair and sat on it. "The truth is, when I see you, I only see white swans. You are beautiful, Nina."

Then he changed his voice, "But you are like a white swan, timid and vulnerable, and the difficulty of a black swan lies in playing both roles well."

"I can play a black swan well." She finally looked this way.

"Really? I don't think so." Ryan used a tone of truth. "Over the years, every time you danced, I only saw you dance every step carefully. I have never seen you release your feelings, never No!"

"What's all this training for?" he asked again.

"I just want to pursue perfection." The girl's eyes fell again.

"This way..." Ryan shook his head, "Perfection is not just about control, it also needs to release emotions."

"You need to break through yourself and surprise the audience."

Ryan said and walked over, regardless of the girl opposite her whispering, raised her chin, and kissed her lips heavily.

The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his lips, and quickly broke free of Natalie, but still controlled himself, "You bit me? I can't believe you bit me!"

"sorry."

After another low-pitched voice like mosquitoes, Natalie opened the door, turned and fled in a hurry.

"cut!"

Just as Scarlett Johansson called to stop, Ryan immediately wiped his lower lip, and blood could be faintly seen.

"Hey, Nat."

Looking at Natalie who came in, Ryan couldn't help but light up her fingers stained with light red, "You actually bit me!"

"Sorry, Ryan." Natalie hurried over and glanced at her feet, "I just got into the play, I just took a bite subconsciously."

"I don't think you'd mind, would you?" She was very smart.

"It's ok."

Ryan couldn't say anything. Followed Natalie to the back of the monitor, watching the female director and Scarlett call up the scene just shot, watching very seriously.

"You all entered the movie very quickly." Scarlett hugged her chest with both hands. "I didn't expect this scene to be shot in one shot. I think you should work together as the male and female protagonists in a movie."

"Come here today!"

Natalie ignored Scarlett's words, and instead asked the assistant to convey the news of the end of work.

Ryan went directly to the dressing room to remove his makeup and change back to his clothes. After waiting in the lounge for a while, Natalie and Scarlett walked over hand in hand. The three of them left the theater and took the RV to Manhattan together.

"Scarlett."

Look at the little fat girl sitting opposite. Ryan asked, "I remember that Iron Man 2 was about to start filming, right?"

"After the Oscars." Scarlett closed the flip phone she was holding. "The shooting of Black Swan will definitely be completed by then."

"Even if it can't be done." Natalie seemed unsure, "I'll finish your part first."

"This is not the Nat I know." Scarlett joked deliberately, "The Nat I know is always full of confidence."

"Nina is the most complicated character I've ever encountered." Natalie made a gesture that you can understand. "Once I'm not in a good state, the shooting progress will definitely slow down."

"You are in good shape today." Ryan took her hand and patted it lightly, "It's really like that white swan."

"Yeah..." Scarlett nodded in agreement. "Faced with the sexual harassment of your boss, the bite you gave so hard was simply wonderful."

Hearing these unreliable words, Ryan couldn't help but glared at her.

"Do you understand that. Scarlett?" Natalie explained simply, seeing Ryan and Scarlet's puzzled eyes at the same time, "Nina at the beginning was like a white swan with no resistance. . Light and fragile. Yes, Nina might be really beautiful like this."

"She is graceful and graceful, and has its own attractiveness of beauty. She is too thin and dry, and her expression is timid and fearful."

Having said this, Natalie suddenly looked at Ryan, "From a psychological point of view, no one wants to have sex with such a body, no one wants to have sex with a rigid, timid, and resistant body. ."

"So what kind of body do we want to have sex with?"

The person who can ask such a question is naturally Scarlett Johansson, "Nate?"

If it was more than ten years ago that a female friend discussed this kind of issue in person, Ryan might have been a little unnatural, but over the years, he has been accustomed to this straight-forward lifestyle.

Natalie said directly, "The cultural and artistic works of mankind for thousands of years have provided us with countless fragrant visual answers, symbolizing the painting of Salome dancing in front of King Herod depicted by Moreau, the French Rococo painter Cloth. The arrogant and lovely little lady in Scheer's pen, the maid of honor with the scent of milk in Ingres's pen, the siren, the sea monster who seduces sailors in Waterhouse's paintings..."

"And paintings of Romans bathing in groups and carnivals." Scarlett seemed inspired, taking Natalie's words, "It's a classicist version of the San Fernando Valley masterpiece!"

"Dears." Ryan couldn't help coughing. "Just to remind you, you are off topic."

"So, according to my understanding and setting." Natalie turned the topic back again, "That's not sexual harassment, Thomas is not interested in having sex with Nina in the white swan state, he kisses her forcibly, just To inspire Nina's wildness, let her show the other side of the black swan, the real side!"

"A great dancer can't just make the audience look at you offstage, you have to make them fall in love with you and want to make love with you."

Ryan thought thoughtfully, "So, the line you added for Thomas was based on this consideration?"

"That's right." Natalie nodded seriously. (To be continued..) ()
