Chapter 194 Laughing is Harder Than Crying
"The secret of life is hidden in genes. Genes are the basis of life, and determine the different characteristics of individuals..."
At the beginning, the camera focused on Brooke Shields' face and made a close-up.
The close-up is a test of the actor's beauty. Brooke Shields' hair was tightly tied behind her head by the hair stylist, forming a bun.Wearing a pair of tortoiseshell-colored large-frame glasses on her face, most people who dress like this have long since turned into old-fashioned schoolgirls.
But is Brooke Shields an ordinary person?The charming eyebrows and eyes protruding from behind the glasses, coupled with the shiny lip color, just showed a kind of daily demeanor of a big beauty who cultivates her body and mind.It's just that this beauty is only 15 years old, and she is still memorizing the explanation of nouns in biology class.
"Genes have two functions, one is heredity..."
The camera crew quickly pulls back, switching from a close-up to a close-up of the head and shoulders, and then a medium shot of Brooke's full body.
Brooke Shields has taken countless shots, and she already knows how to cooperate with the shooting.Seeing Spike Leeby's three-two-one hand gesture, he knew the time had come.He took off the old-fashioned glasses from his face and put them on the ground, sliding them out of the frame of the camera calmly.
Katherine Bigelow catches the glasses off-camera and snaps away.
The camera pans to the medium shot, and it turns out that Brooke Shields is squatting on the ground, her feet just slipped into CK jeans.Then she fell backwards, with her feet in the air, and began to push her hands upwards, pulling her jeans up her long legs.
Skinny jeans were very difficult to fit, especially with a size 2 for the shoot, which was one size smaller than Brooke usually wears.
While exerting her strength, Brooke Shields was still reciting the explanation of evolution theory.
"Genes ensure that individual traits are passed down from generation to generation, but sometimes, genes also undergo mutations..."
Brooke Shields turned over on the ground, raised her hips, and began to pull the jeans up to her waist more forcefully, so that she was panting too much.
"This mutation leads to changes in individual characteristics,..."
Brooke Shields finally pulled her jeans up to her waist, and then she fastened the buttons, changed her position and lay on her side, untied her hair with one hand, shook her head, and a head of thick, shiny hair fell down her shoulders.
"Some gene mutations will cause genetic advantages, and under natural selection, become the driving force of evolution..."
Brooke Shields lay down and pulled one foot to the opposite shoulder. She must have trained yoga or gymnastics, and her body is very flexible.
"Some mutated genes die out, and some mutated genes are better able to adapt to the environment than others, creating a new species..."
Brooke Shields turned over, supported her body with one knee and both hands, raised her other foot upwards, and put her body in the shape of a "CK" letter.
"This is Calvin Klein, survival of the fittest."
"And Cut!"
"You did a great job, Brooke." After Ronald called Cut, he confirmed with the photographer that the shot was perfect, leading everyone to applaud.
Brooke Shields stood up and gave a ladylike salute to everyone, "Thank you, thank you."
Everyone laughed, and for a while the air was filled with joy.
This series of advertisements are actually homophonic stalks. Gene (Gene) is pronounced similar to jeans (Jean) in English. They are clearly talking about genes, but they are actually boasting that CK’s skinny jeans have evolved, and they are not a species like ordinary jeans.
Tight fit can fully reflect the beauty of girls' lines, so all the shortcomings that are difficult to wear because of tight fit become advantages after wearing it.In order to stand out sexy, it's nothing to spend a few minutes pulling your pants hard before going out.
However, this advertisement is still a bit sexy. It deliberately made Brooke Shields recite a long explanation of scientific terms when she was trying to wear a size smaller pants, deliberately causing Brooke to be out of breath when speaking, with vague sexual hints.
Brooke's mother, Terry, reviewed the script and made no comments.Ronald couldn't say anything, shook his head, and started discussing the next shoot with the team.
Brooke's godmother and her daughter hurried forward to hand her water, the dressing room was busy with makeup, and the hair stylist began to comb her hair with a large comb to prepare for the next one.Everyone in the studio knew what they were going to do. The filming team composed of New York University students and alumni has been very efficient after working together.
Calvin Klein on the second floor looked at all this, nodded in satisfaction, and said to the two people next to him, "It seems that Ronald's level is good, he knows how to express the charm of women."
A man who has lost a lot of hair and is half bald continued, "Yes, he is efficient, but he still relies on Richard's creative script, right?"
Another middle-aged man with glasses is Richard Avedon, who competed with Ronald for this shoot.He was originally a graphic photographer, and he wanted to enter into film and television advertising through this ad from a friend.He designed the script for this time.However, he does not have any shooting experience. Now that he is watching the live shooting, he also wants to know some shooting methods and use them for his own use.
"It seems that we still need to find a professional film team. He did a good job." Richard Avedon said, "The key lies in the last commercial. Terry only cared about her daughter's exposure, so he didn't say no."
"Let's continue watching..." Calvin Klein continued to look down.
Ronald's team is gearing up and waiting for the next shot.
Brooke Shields put her hair up again, this time the stylist made it looser, leaving a few strands of hair outside, looking mature and playful.This girl can seamlessly switch back and forth between high school girl and professional woman, and her tall figure makes her play a professional woman very convincingly.
Ronald himself stepped forward and stuck behind the camera to see the composition.Brooke Shields, who had changed into a light-colored plaid shirt, sat on her lap and supported her chin with her backhand.The slightly thick makeup hides her childishness very well. When the two dimples are not smiling, they show a kind of potential, which makes people want to make her laugh.
What a stunner, no wonder advertisers like her so much, the relaxation and expressiveness in the camera is really top-notch.
Ronald gave up the camera to the director of photography, and he came to talk to Brooke himself.
"The line of this line is very simple. After you finish speaking, you have to smile very happily, break the image of a professional woman, a feeling of a little girl stealing her mother's clothes and talking to herself in the mirror, and finally return to your true self. age."
"Understood." Brooke Shields searched for her feelings.
"Recording? Camera? Action!" After Brooke Shields signaled that she was ready, Ronald announced to start the machine.
"I'm the one who brought the bread home..."
When Brooke Shields gets serious, there is still a smile on her face because of the dimples, which is great.Ronald was secretly satisfied.
"I don't care who wears pants at home, as long as I wear Calvin Klein."
This is another double-entendre advertisement. The feminist movement is slowly rising in America. Professional women fight for the right to wear pants, replacing the traditional values of men bringing bread back to the family and women doing housework.
"Puchi..." Brooke Xiaosi laughed after finishing her lines.
"Cut!" Ronald stepped forward and said to Brooke, "It's not this kind of uncontrollable laughter, I need a sudden burst of laughter, just like when you hear a very funny joke, hold it back until you can't hold it back Stay there and explode."
"Okay, director." Brooke Shields glanced in the direction of her mother, and Terry took out another sip of spirits, just in time for Brooke to see her.
Sorrow climbed up Brooke Shields' eyebrows again, and Ronald frowned, why did he have a bitter look?He noticed early on that Brooke sometimes had a bitter look that might have suited Jed, the tragic protagonist in the movie "Endless Love," but never in commercials.
"Relax, Brooke."
Ronald started another shot.
"Hahaha..." Brooke laughed out loud after finishing her lines.
"Cut!"
Ronald frowned again, not only him, Spike Lee and Catherine Bigelow also noticed Brooke Shields' unnaturalness.
"She's a little nervous, as if she's worried about something?" Catherine seemed to feel something.
"Boji shoots print advertisements all the year round, and this kind of smile is perfectly qualified in still images. But the images will make any ordinary person find him unnatural." Spike analyzed from a technical point of view.
"Think of your funniest thing, Brooke. Here we go again."
Ronald decided to try again.
"Hahaha……"
"Cut!"
Still the same, Ronald announced a 5-minute break.
"It seems that the young director has encountered some difficulties?" Among the three people watching the shooting scene on the second floor, the slightly bald middle-aged man said again, "I know how to shoot technically, but I don't necessarily know how to train actors, and Richard De is famous for training models..."
"Let's continue watching..." Calvin Klein said.
Ronald called Spike and Catherine, "We have to figure out a way to get Brooke into the scene. Do you have any good jokes?"
Speaking of which, Ronald turned around and took out his bag, and took out the Sony Walkman, "If there is anything, we will record it, and we will listen to Brooke. Here is an editing point, and we will shoot the scene of laughing alone."
A little adjustment had to be made, as Brooke Shields couldn't smile for a long time, and it was impossible to wait until she was out of shape for filming.
Catherine and Spike tried their best to think of jokes they thought were funny, then recorded them on the recording crew's equipment, and then transcribed them to tape.
Ronald also thought of a joke. He knew that Brooke Shields had a good grade in language class, so he found a language joke.
"A country kid from Louisiana gets into Harvard, introduces himself to a well-dressed kid from New England,
I'm from Louisiana, where are you from? (Where do you come from?"
"I'm from a more educated state and don't end a sentence with a preposition."
"Well, where do you come from, asshole? (Where do you come from, Asxshole?"
Then I found other staff members and recorded various jokes for about 10 minutes, which Ronald felt was almost enough.Put the tape into the Walkman, and gave it to Brooke Shields.
"Here are some jokes we recorded. Listen to them. When you find it funny, take them off and hand them to me. You can laugh naturally."
Brooke Shields put on her headphones and pressed the play button.
Ronald gestures to the camera without calling Action.For fear of interrupting Brooke's emotions, the camera turned on ahead of time, ready to capture a real smile.
Brooke Shields is not very embarrassed, she has always been very good at posing the expressions and poses that the photographer needs, and the shooting efficiency is very high.It is very rare to affect the progress of the shooting because of one's own smile.
But what the girl is most afraid of is this kind of pressure. She glanced at her mother and found Terry's serious face. She quickly collected her mind and listened to the joke hard.
The jokes weren't funny at all, there were black slang words she couldn't understand, there were women's jokes about feminism she couldn't understand the jokes, and finally Ronald's grammar jokes reminded her of never-ending homework .
The girl raised her head again and looked at her mother.
Terry took another sip from the bottle just in time.She has been under a lot of pressure recently, so she started drinking in the morning.
Brooke Shields looked at Ronald, expectantly waiting for her to laugh, and the invisible pressure overwhelmed her.Add to that her mother's drinking again, and she thought of the days when she was sent to rehab, alone, alone, with no one to talk to.
A feeling of sadness suddenly welled up in my heart...
Brooke Shields cried out.
Then the grievances doubled, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
Ronald and the two assistant directors looked at each other and said helplessly, "Cut!"
Then he turned back and said to the staff, "Who the hell did you say a dirty joke that made Brooke cry?"
