Amy spent her next few days in physical training. She had to learn pickpocketing skills like Jenny in the movie. It was an interesting task and Martin specially invited a coach for this purpose. During the shooting, Christmas also passed. Tom had a work to do in New York, so they didn't return to LA and spent the Christmas peacefully in Tom's apartment in New York.
The shooting resumed again after the christmas.
"Amy, you look great." Martin walked in front of Amy, "You will start waking today, are you ready?"
Amy gave a thumbs up: "I am hundred percent ready. I was getting bored just sitting on the sidelines."
"A girl with a fighting spirit, I appreciate it."
There is no director who doesn't like the actors who work hard. Before choosing Amy, he especially did research on her. He got positive reviews from the sets of previous two crews of Amy. Martin doesn't like the actors who create a lot of problems or are lazy.
Initially, in Martin's eyes, Amy Collins was a girl who became famous at such a young age. Initially when Caa first recommended her, he was quite furious at them. In the eyes of old-school directors like them, idol girls are a group who doesn't know to act and are only famous because of their appearances. And in case of Amy Collins, this long standing thinking even got more true to believe. Amy Collins is a perfect vase for any commercial film, but directors like them would try their best to stay away from such vases.
Even after the many calls and recommendations from caa and friends,
he was still not ready to cast Amy. It was only after Al Pacino sent him the clips of Amy from the recent movie "Insomnia" that he finally took a good look at her. And he has to say, Amy Collins acting talent might not be less than her appearance.
Before the official shooting, Amy had to wake up an hour earlier than the rest of the crew to curl her golden hair into soft curls and put on the dress that made her breathless. The only crew started earlier than her were the makeup artist and Daniel Day Lewis. For Daniel, it is also a trouble to stick the messy beard to his mouth, not to mention that he needs to be whiter than the girls. Powder to make his complexion look more pale and terrifying.
"So sleepy." Amy said to Daniel, "Good morning Daniel."
Daniel Day Lewis responded with the Manathan style he uses on the set: "Good morning Amy."
Amy let the stylist do anything to her appearance. After the makeup was done, Amy looked at herself in the mirror.
The long hair style that curls from root to tip looks old fashioned in today's eyes. Amy's already amazing beauty and appearence was changed to the old classical American beauty of 19th century. The usual Amy is the perfect mixture of sweet and sexy American goddess and classical British style with American sweet and sexiness overwhelming the other a little, but the old classical American touch given by the makeup artist adds another kind of charm.
When Amy came out of the makeup tent, all the people present on the set were stunned. It was already very difficult to adjust for them with usual Amy and now the damn look given by makeup artist Dante makes it difficult for people to even look away for a moment.
When Martin saw Amy's appearence, he couldn't help but say: "Amy I can gurantee that after the release of movie, you would definitely be the muse of those old Hollywood guys."
The first scene is the scene where the thief Jenny and Amsterdam first meet in Five Points.Johnny, his childhood playmate in Amsterdam, was introducing him to the current situation in the five o'clock district.At this time, the female thief Jenny appeared. She ran into Johnny directly, but she didn't mean to apologize at all. Instead, she made the mistake of colliding put on Johnny.
Amy had read the script, and it was clear to her that all she needed to do in the first scene was to show Jenny's beauty.At this time, she was in Amsterdam, or in the eyes of the audience, she was as clean as a blank sheet of paper. No one knew about her past, and even because of her beauty, no one would find that her profession was just a thief.
Amy has done several shootings and is very familiar with such roles. Under her interpretation, Jenny's brightness and beauty was bought to extreme.
"Her performance is more mature than Leonardo." screenwriter Jay Cox said after watching the scene, "Leo is still a little immature."
Amy's performance on the scene continued. Amy laughed at Amsterdam and Johnny pretentiously when Amsterdam said, "We are thinkers."
Every scene in which Jenny appeared, she firmly occupied director's focus and camera toward her. On the contrary, Leonard's performance was a bit medicore compared to Amy and Daniel.
Amy's role in today's scene is only
this morning. After filming, she moved a chair and sat next to Martin Scorsese to watch other people's performances.
Martin Scorsese deserves to be one of the few master directors in Hollywood today, and his ability to control the group drama really opened the eyes of Amy who was standing aside.You know, before the movie is finished, the actors have no sense of the picture in their eyes, and even the most powerful actors can only infect their opponents or the surrounding staff with their acting skills-but to make the picture interesting, lighting, sound effects and even technical assistance plays a very important role.
After countless ng, Amy noticed that leonardo's face was blue. She sighed: "Leo's really having a hard time." Today's shooting was quite tough for the male actors. Leo's appearnce looked very bad after the shooting.
Seeing that Leonardo's mood was bad today, Amy planned to treat him as usual. She just handed him the lunch box and moved away. But today, something different happend, Leo stopped her. Amy was surprised and looked suspiciously at him. Leo spoke: "Your performance was good today."
Hearing her praise, Amy's tension also went away. She laughed: "A praise from Leonardo, I am really flattered."
Leo has obviously been praised countless times by women before, especially after the "Titanic". But hearing the praise from a girl so beautiful like Amy, he was also happy and enjoyed the moment.
