"Click!" Director Giovanni, who seemed to be a different person as soon as he sat on the director's chair, loudly stopped the interior shooting of the German Sdkfz 251/8 half-track armored ambulance.
Looking through the noteboard handed over by his assistant, Director Giovanni read out the actress's name: "Miss Sara Drayton, if your performance was performed in the lively Garrison Bar, it would have been impeccable. Especially you. Lifting up your skirt to reveal your snow-white thighs is sexy like a fallen angel. But now you are a field nurse saving lives and helping the wounded, and you are in an armored ambulance full of wounded people. Think about it. Only then can he lift up his skirt just right and take off a pair of nylon stockings from his legs to stop the bleeding of the wounded."
"Okay, director." The actress nodded hurriedly. She really had no experience with acting in front of the camera.
"Don't be nervous, we have plenty of time." Director Giovanni said as he sat in his director's chair and was pushed to the shooting room next door by his assistant. He used an assembly-line-like method to quickly shoot the interior shots of the "Beauty" episode. It also gives the actress valuable time to think about her performance. Most of the "Troubled Times" chapters were shot on location with live ammunition.
Just as the female reporter accompanying Mrs. Katie was watching the busy camera crew in the studio from a distance, she was imagining how much of a sensation this movie would cause in the Third Reich when it was released.
A female assistant walked quietly to the side and handed the female reporter a note.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Katie on the side saw that it was a woman's handwriting.
"Collier's Weekly's senior war correspondent stationed in Europe: Martha Gellhorn." The female reporter smiled.
"Collier's Magazine" is a famous old American magazine. Published from 1888 to 1957, Collier's was a pioneer in investigative journalism, covering a wide range of topics, from investigative reporting to comics and short stories, and was deeply loved by readers. It is not only well-produced in terms of content, but also remarkable in terms of technological innovation. Whether in terms of content or form, it was one of the most important forces in the world's magazine industry at that time, and it also occupied a place in the entire magazine history.
"Ah, she is the third wife of Ernest Miller Hemingway, who wrote "For Whom the Bell Tolls."" Mrs. Katie, who has a wide range of friends, must know Martha Gale Horn's true identity.
"I would rather introduce Ernest Miller Hemingway as Martha Gellhorn's second husband." The female reporter laughed.
"Of course." Mrs. Katie nodded happily: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need. You know, this is a gathering of 'freelance journalists'." The female reporter declined Mrs. Katie's kindness.
Just as they had discussed the script for the $3 million movie MGM had invested in, Mrs. Kitty reminded Japan that the Empire was an ally. After all, Martha Gellhorn, a senior female war correspondent born in a German-Jewish family in St. Louis, USA, was the mouthpiece of the Allies. You know, when Nazi Germany suddenly launched a full-scale attack on Poland on September 1, 1939, the day World War II broke out in Europe, the last batch of foreign journalists withdrew from Germany. Although Sicily is far away from Berlin and is an Italian territory, it promulgated the world's earliest journalist law "Journalist Registration Law" in 1925. Mussolini's fascist government implemented a strict press censorship system, and domestic news was handled by the local governor. , foreign journalists are handled by the General Post Office. News censors can extend the censorship time at will to render the news ineffective; they can also delete or suppress news. Foreign journalists who disobey can be sentenced to five to ten years in prison. This forced many foreign journalists to flee Italy.
Of course, as the largest hotspot in Europe at the moment. There are still many "freelance journalists" who take desperate risks and want to go deep into Sicily to obtain first-hand reports.
"Madam, I'll go." Danielle, the war girl who was Mrs. Katie's chief casting assistant, volunteered to take over the important task.
"Great." Although it was a meeting between two "freelance reporters," Mrs. Katie still needed to know all the details. This is a kind of risk control in extraordinary times. Especially related to the normal shooting of "The Great Battle".
"Okay." Although the female reporter looked obviously reluctant, she also understood the overall situation. Know the meaning behind Sicily.
"Go early and come back early." Mrs. Katie warned again. She clearly didn't see that this was a double act between the casting assistant and the female reporter.
"Okay, ma'am." The chief casting assistant who answered on behalf of the female reporter also understood Mrs. Katie's worries. The purpose of her accompanying him was both surveillance and guarantee. A large-scale production with "unlimited funds" cannot make any mistakes.
Messina, Teatro Vittorio Emanuele, Café.
This theater, named after Italy's first king, Vittorio Emanuele II, was built in 1852 and was destroyed and rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake.
"Long time no see, Lisa." Marsha Gellhorn, a blond senior war correspondent in Europe for Collier's Weekly, is dazzlingly beautiful. Next to her, another blonde beauty was equally stunning.
Standing behind the female reporter, looking at the two stunning celebrities who seemed to have stepped out of a fashion magazine, Chief Casting Assistant War Girl Danielle's seemingly calm appearance was already causing huge waves in her heart.
"Long time no see, Martha." As she said that, the female reporter turned her attention to another blonde beauty: "Have we met somewhere?"
"New York, Paris, Cairo." Another blonde beauty smiled and stretched out her hand: "Lee Miller."
Lee Miller, the heroine from the biographical drama "Lee" in time and space of the same name, is played by Kate Winslet in the real world.
And the heroine from "Hemingway & Gellhorn" - Martha Gellhorn, played by Nicole Kidman in the real world.
Martha Gellhorn and Lee Miller are both famous women in the time and space of World War II dramas. They are not only the darlings of the fashion industry, but also the top celebrities. He is not only a war correspondent who has experienced life and death, but also a best-selling author who writes like a sharp knife. She is a supermodel, an editor, and a photographer, and she also has the same identity: a war reporter.
In 1945, Lee Miller followed the US military to the forefront of the war, went to Hitler's room, and left a beautiful silhouette in Hitler's bathtub.
In 1941, Martha Gellhorn even "viewed this trip as a honeymoon" and went to China with her second husband Hemingway to report on the Anti-Japanese War.
Although the female reporter Lisa did not know the identities of the two characters at this time. But it was obvious that the two of them were different. How can I put it, the two war reporters are so outstanding and dazzling. There is a sense of surreal drama, probably from famous plot characters. Although it is said that "there must be grass within ten steps". But if goddess-level "grass" can be seen everywhere, it must not be the real world. It can only be plot time and space.
"Honestly, we can't stay too long." After a brief exchange of greetings, Martha Gellhorn chose to get straight to the point: "What is there that we don't know about this 'unlimited budget' "The Great Battle"?"
"If you want to ask if it is related to 'login', I can only say 'no comment.'" Female reporter Lisa answered more straightforwardly.
"Ah..." Both of them are legendary women. This sentence of "asking and answering" has given the two war reporters everything they want to know.
"It's not just the British who understand 'Shakespeare'." Female reporter Lisa added meaningfully.
"Movies are the drama of the new century." Lee Miller obviously understood. The British's "Mincemeat Plan" has obviously exposed its secrets.
However, according to the collective character flaws of Hitler and the entire top Nazis who were suspicious, paranoid and fanatical, the "Mincemeat Plan" will definitely have an impact.
"Okay, Lisa. Keep in touch." Martha Gellhorn prepared to leave. She wanted to return to her station and immediately write for "The Great Battle" with "unlimited funds".
"Take care, Martha." Female reporter Lisa stood up to say goodbye.
