American fame and fortune.

Chapter 407 Actor's Professionalism

Inside the studio, which was decorated like a new house, David Fincher called Martin and Cate Blanchett together to talk about the scene.

What will be filmed next are all scenes of Benjamin and Daisy building a love nest together and getting along sweetly.

David Fincher ignored those messy things and said: "I have not made any specific plans for this part of the scene. The props and scenes are here, and it depends on your on-the-spot performance."

In the studio, apart from a mattress, there are wood-colored wooden walls.

David Fincher voluntarily withdrew from the set.

Blanchett glanced at Martin, wondering what to say.

In Martin's eyes, work is work. After receiving such a high salary, he must show a corresponding work attitude and proactively said: "What are you avoiding in the action scenes?"

Blanchett is also an old actor. She threw away any thoughts that she shouldn't have at this moment and said: "Don't touch the key point below me. Everything else is fine."

Martin sat on the mattress and said, "Let's discuss how to proceed?"

Blanchett sat down on the floor opposite him and said: "Daisy and Benjamin have reached their best age, and they have been apart for many years before they can get together. At this time, a more drastic method should be used."

Martin discussed it seriously: "Is it possible that, apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, the two of us spend the rest of the time on the mattress?"

Blanchett nodded: "It's not easy for two people to sleep together. They want to sleep every moment."

Martin stood up and walked around the new house set, gesturing and saying, "Even the process of decorating a house may turn into a battlefield between two people."

Blanchett agreed: "I think so."

The two chatted for nearly half an hour, during which they each stood up, aimed at each other, gestured for a while, and even hugged each other.

"Go get ready." Martin returned to the rest area first.

The stylist came over to touch up the makeup.

Blanchett sat on her lounge chair and glanced at Martin from time to time.

After Martin finished touching up his makeup, he got some breath freshener and sprayed it on a few times.

Work is work, and he always takes it seriously. Even if Bell wanted to beat him during filming, he never thought about taking revenge at work.

Blanchett recognized the freshener commonly used by people in the industry and shook her head at the assistant, who did not touch the garlic and durian candy in the bag.

These are just in case preparations.

Blanchett took the same breath freshener and sprayed it a few times.

Martin Davis is a professional, and she is no exception.

The two very professional actors did not ask the crew to clear the scene. They fought directly against each other using the only mattress as a battlefield under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes.

At the beginning, the movements were still a bit obscure, but as they became familiar with each other's bodies and sensitive points, the two became like a real couple.

As soon as David Fincher shouted stop, the two quickly separated, like strangers.

But when discussing work, they have no reservations, as if they are close friends.

Most of the actors express their emotions openly. During filming, handsome men and beautiful women stimulate each other, and it is not strange for the male and female protagonists to actually get together.

On the edge of the set, Saoirse felt that she had gained a lot and said to Elizabeth: "I think this is the professional quality of a top actor."

Elizabeth has two celebrity sisters and has been going to the set since she was a child. She is accustomed to this: "Work is work."

Saoirse said with regret: "It's a pity that I have to leave."

Elizabeth said: "When you go to Los Angeles, remember to call me."

When the crew took a break, Saoirse said goodbye to Martin and followed her mother out of the studio.

Before leaving, Martin, a teacher, gave the students a gift: a handmade clown statue and a crocodile tooth pendant.

Saoirse immediately put the pendant on her neck and said to Martin: "I saw people showing off on other sets and said you personally gave it to me, and now I have it too."

Elizabeth had not been to many sets, but had seen both of these things quite a few times.

She had a completely different idea, and an idea automatically popped into her head: Martin was really popular in the circle, and he was very popular.

When Saoirse Ronan left, she muttered to herself that she didn't see Shia LaBeouf fuck Blanchett.

Because someone who could control Shia LaBeouf came to the crew, Shia LaBeouf restrained himself a lot in front of Kathleen Kennedy.

In the following days, Martin devoted all his energy to the role and scenes.

The same goes for Blanchett.

On the set, the two had a scene during renovation.

As before, the script only contains scenes and no specific content. David Fincher still allows the two to play freely.

Blanchett looked at the wall of log props and said thoughtfully: "It's better to have something new."

Martin was much more creative than her in this area. After watching it for half a minute, he came up with an idea. He alone had no say in the scene related to the two of them: "During the process of applying latex paint, the two of them suddenly came over. Interested, just leave a mark of love on this wall that has just been splashed with latex paint?"

"Okay." Blanchett started to think from this: "Let these marks stay and become the decoration of this wall."

The two called David Fincher, who in turn called the prop master, who suggested using synthetic milk as a prop.

In the afternoon, the filming of the scene started. Benjamin and Daisy, the decorators, picked up latex paint and splashed it on the wall. After a lot of nonsense, the two people above developed from a passionate kiss to banging on the wall, which was covered with white latex. , leaving a mark of love again.

At the end of the scene, the two people wearing vital protective clothing left their own physical marks on the wall.

Martin clung to the white wall, leaving the outline of his body behind.Next to her, Blanchett's Daisy does the same thing.

The two people who turned white took a big step back. It was particularly easy to distinguish the two human silhouettes on the wall.

The one belonging to Benjamin had a hole as big as a child's fist near his waist.

It belongs to Daisy and has two papaya-shaped marks on her chest.

"Stop, very good!" David Fincher was particularly satisfied with these scenes: "That's it for today!"

Martin left the set directly, took the towel from Elizabeth, wiped the sticky milk off his face, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

Elizabeth followed: "I'll help you."

Martin's back was also stained a lot and he nodded: "Come on."

The two entered the trailer, and Elizabeth locked the door, closed every window, closed the curtains, took off her clothes, and entered the bathroom.

Martin turned on the shower: "You help me rub it off my back."

"Don't move, I'll do it." Elizabeth stuck up.

Martin felt like two particularly soft bath towels were scrubbing every part of his back.

After a while, Elizabeth pulled over Martin's body, and the two became face to face, and warned: "I'll give you a bath, don't move around."

Martin simply raised his hand and let Elizabeth's bath towel scrub his body.

After a week of continuous filming, all the passionate scenes between Benjamin and Daisy were over.

Elizabeth's few scenes were filmed for only one afternoon.

…………

During the weekend break, Martin drove Elizabeth into the French Quarter of New Orleans, and walked hand in hand along Decatur Street and onto Jackson Square.

Some tourists recognized Martin and picked up their cameras to take pictures.

Martin didn't care about this. He held Elizabeth's hand tightly and admired the ancient French architecture.

Elizabeth suddenly pulled Martin down and together they entered the nearby shop.

When they came out of the store, they each had a couple's hat on their heads.

Martin found it funny and pulled Elizabeth: "Come with me."

In front, there is a shop selling freshly printed cultural shirts. The business is average and no one cares about it.

As soon as the two entered, the boss recognized Martin at a glance. The crew of "Benjamin" was filming in New Orleans these days, and Martin, the leading actor, was frequently mentioned in the local newspapers.

"Martin..."

"Boss, let's talk business first." Martin smiled and said, "I want a couple's condom."

Elizabeth came over and looked at the blank cultural shirt carefully: "Shall we choose a white one?"

Martin nodded: "White and black, a timeless classic."

The boss quickly asked: "What pattern or text should be printed?"

Elizabeth looked at the patterns and slogans on the shelves: "Well..."

Martin had already thought about it: "I will print her face on it, and she will print my face on it, and add a line of text."

The boss is not immune to gossip: "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Elizabeth responded first: "Of course."

Not long after, a local entertainment reporter got the news and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman wearing a couple's hat walking hand in hand out of a store. They were wearing brand-new couple's cultural shirts. The sweaters had each other's mugshots printed on them. Written in eye-catching bold letters: "This is my boyfriend/girlfriend!"

The two ignored the reporters, walked straight across the square, entered the St. Louis Cathedral opposite, and found a bench in the front row to sit down.

Elizabeth faced the cross directly in front of her, clasped her hands devoutly, and turned her lips slightly.

Martin couldn't hear what she was saying, but she was mumbling something.

After making a wish, the two entered the art gallery. The mosaic images above were a bit abstract, which could easily make LSPs think wrong.

Martin saw Elizabeth's eyes drifting over from time to time, guessing her thoughts, and specifically asked: "What wish did you just make?"

"Secret." Elizabeth smiled sweetly.

Martin understood and continued to ask: "Is there any secret between the two of us?"

"Yeah... that's right." Elizabeth deliberately said in a joking tone: "I hope you can propose to me soon."

Martin took it as a joke: "Are you kidding, Liz, you are not 20 years old yet."

The two of them spent the rest of their trip in the hotel.

Before Christmas, Elizabeth returned to Los Angeles, and Martin went to Atlanta. After spending the entire holiday with Elena and her brother, he returned to the crew for filming.

After waiting for the New Year, his role was basically completed and he returned to Los Angeles.

There are also some scenes that need to be shot in conjunction with post-production.
