ME LIKES DZHULIJA ROBERTS Glik 14	Glik the fourteenth Generally, all business in other — in absence of freedom, oh, damn! Sergeys, which Tsensky, the good writer — Let it pass can also. But that evening, in that dank not as in winter December evening when I, nachitavshis to rezi in eyes, pripyorsja-was dragged from University all prodrogshy, malicious and tired, I the classics of this Soviet-worn-out and on a scent hated. In brains idiotic fat names of the reports edited in the day, messages and articles moved-crept: «  S.N.Sergeev-Tsensky — the ingenious artist of a word», «  S.N.Sergeev-Tsensky — the great son of great Russia», «Realism of an epopee  of S.N.Sergeeva-Tsenskogo“ Transformation of Russia ”as the standard epichnosti realism», «  S.N.Sergeev-Tsensky and  L.N.Tolstoy: to a problem of comparison of two geniuses of Russian and world literature» … Br-r-r! And in a case the whole bale of similar "scientific" works, kakovye to tomorrow's morning, blood from my nose laid still, it was necessary to brush-edit — experts on Tsensky, all these doctors and candidates filnauk pretty often wrote «in a current of year» and «in a consequence of it», "eleksir" and "pastime", yes confused in a computer set defisku not only with short, but even long тире*. Here gadstvo! There came my Anna Ioannovna in the morning, and I passion as would like «Notting Hill» to look necessarily and by all means only without it — alone. Well, well, to read-edit texts I all the same was already at all in a condition, therefore, reasonably and freely having solved immediately to go on appointment with Dzhuliej, and Tsensky to be engaged, not dospav, early in the morning, I bystrenko have had a bite together with Baksikom fish canned food, have decanted in the same place, on kitchen, nearly not choking, a half litre mug of strong tea not to squelch and to champ in front of the screen, and have started a video recorder. I already knew-had a presentiment in advance — glitches now will go-will gush, maybe, pogolovokruzhitelnee, than from "Beauty". Me in advance excited not only a plot of a film and mutual relation of its heroes, I awfully liked history of creation of a tape, real mutual relations real Dzhulii Roberts and Hju the Grant which before I saw only once — in a comedy «Four weddings both one funeral» and which to me was nice … The script writer «Notting Hilla» Richard Curtis from the very beginning knew, that writes this role for Hju the Grant, and Hju the Grant knew, that should play this role. By that moment when the scenario was ready and the director — Roger Mitchell has been already defined, they have decided, that Dzhulii Roberts is better will play nobody the most inaccessible and eccentrical movie star in the world. Certainly, all three understood, that Dzhulija Roberts hardly will agree to act in to their film, but have just in case sent it the scenario. It was in the beginning of 1997 when Roberts the star and a yellow press »… was full up a theme« When the scenario «Notting Hilla», telling about tabloidnoj a hysteria round the love novel of the movie star with the mere mortal, has appeared on a table Dzhulii Roberts, it hardly could keep a yawn. Unless script writers could think up what would not be in a reality? Roberts has read the scenario only because considered Curtis as the genius. As she said, having read up last page, she has told to herself: «Fuck, I in it will act in film!» It dissuaded. Spoke, what is it the big risk — to play the heroine who will be perceived by spectators as Dzhulija Roberts in a juicy situation. «I was ready in advance to tricky questions at press conference, — the actress speaks. — but I have told to myself: if all have solved, what is it cinema about me I will think too, what is it cinema about me, and I will dare three months to be oneself!» By Mitchell and Curtis's recognition, the decision Dzhulii Roberts has resulted them in a shock condition. Anybody after all could not even hope for its consent... When manager Dzhulii Roberts has made to their an an appointment with it in New York hotel Four Seasons, they to a hoarseness argued how to put on. «Eventually we have decided, that we will go in official suits, — recollected subsequently Hju the Grant. — till appointed time of a meeting there were all some minutes, we in haste have changed clothes, and as a result all the same were late a little. It was magic — to see, that behind a little table you are waited present by Dzhulija Roberts». «It was much younger than us and thus completely supervised a situation, — Richard Curtis adds. Is it was surprising. Hju so worried, that at it all fell from hands. We with Roger too were nervous. And it was very quiet and kind». After the first meeting Dzhulija Roberts has not told yes, is not present. However in some days has informed through the agent that will act in film. The sum of its compensation for this film remained as fiduciary, however say, that Roberts has agreed to work for much smaller money, rather than its then standard 17-million fee … Never working with stars of the first size director Roger Mitchell who has promoted at theatre, puzzled, as to it to behave with Hju and Dzhuliej. And Hju and Dzhulija mortally were afraid each other. At all wit on a scene and in front of the chamber, in life Hju the Grant — the note whiner and the melancholiac constantly complaining of bad luck and regularly declaring by the loser. Position became complicated also that fact, that in 1992 the Grant met with Roberts on tests in «Enamoured Shakespeare» and then she has preferred to it Deniel Day-Lewis (which, in turn, has preferred not to act in film with Roberts). « I remember these shows, — speaks the Grant. — at that time I was absolute, absolutely jobless actor. To me was so terribly at thought, that I am in one room with Dzhuliej Roberts, that, having a seat, I have missed by a chair. But has landed not on a floor, and on the handle of an armchair and then half an hour sat on it, being tormented with a dilemma — whether to change and by that to attract attention, or to pretend, that I from breed of excentric young men which always sit on handles of armchairs ». Eventually the project« Enamoured Shakespeare »with Roberts has collapsed, Miramax has bought up it for Gvinet Peltrou … Dzhulija admits, that at a meeting with a trio of the well-known Englishmen strongly was nervous. The grant has finished Oxford, had the big theatrical experience, and it behind shoulders had only a usual school in a country town Smyrna of the State of Georgia — school after which it has gone to models and therein trained for a new profession in the actress. Roberts says, that has ceased to be afraid while has noticed, that misters Englishmen too are to death frightened. On coincidence of circumstances it has occurred that day when the make-up artist has put on person Roberts too much cosmetics, then the director, having looked on Dzhuliju, has understood, that the make-up needs to be changed... «I have seen, how all of them have got off in a small group and have started to be whispered, askance on me glancing, — the actress recollects. — then from a small group have pushed out Roger. It sidewise has come nearer to me and has murmured:« Eee... mmm... You could not render us very big courtesy — to wash? » It had a kind of the person having a seat on an electric chair. I have tried to think up in the answer something witty, but could not — I was smothered by laughter. I have flopped on a floor and laughed loudly minutes five ». After that episode of the relation Roberts and a film crew became friendly and warm. But she admits, that was heavy enough to work all the same. «It seemed to me, that will play Anna Skott as easy as shelling pears, — she admits. — however then I have understood, what is it there will be the most difficult role in my career. The backlash between relnostju and the invented world less, the it is more difficult to hit the nail». In one of scenes of a film Anna appears in very unpleasant situation because of bared photos which it has made in an early youth. «I have come to the director and have declared, that absolutely not agree how Anna behaves, — Roberts which never in a life posed for the naked recollects. — I did not like also how it has got to this situation and as tried to resolve it. Its reaction seemed me unnatural». Mitchell has listened to a long tirade of the star and has told to it only one phrase: «But Anna Skott — not you!» One more ticklish moment has arisen during scene shootings where Anna lays in bed with the hero of the Grant and recollects Rita Hejuort's liked phrase: «All men lay down in bed with Dzhildoj, and wake up with me». «To say this phrase was all the same what to scrape nails on asphalt, — Dzhulija Roberts speaks. — I do not wish to criticise Richard, it an ingenious script writer, but this phrase has seemed to me absolutely unnecessary. I do not believe in similar bosh». And still Roberts has introduced in a film a lot of the personal. It is enough to look first three minutes — Anna Skott's effective arrival at a premiere to England, — to see in its gait, a smile, greeting lifted hand Dzhuliju Roberts whom it kazhdodnevno appears in mass-media … ** No, the truth, I still could apprehend-believe, what Hju the Grant was afraid Dzhulii Roberts, but what it it, and in general can bojatsja-hesitate of someone … It, what, leaves, anything human it is not alien? Turns out, finish to me from it to meet, moreover and alone, it and at me can zasmushchatsja, redden, will start to breathe with emotion?. However, Englishmen have cast it in advance into trembling the evropeizmom and erudition … Well, and we not a bast shity — behind shoulders what-any, and universitetishko, and Europeans anybody to us cannot forbid to consider itself … More shortly, I, yet not seeing a tape, already have had time to decide-imagine round it much that interesting. And when the film has begun, I could not keep first an is bitter-sceptical grin: has found, with whom to compete! Not speaking about actor Hju the Grant, even with its hero to compete-compare itself — umora absolute. Has apartment in two levels in the centre of London, let "small", but sufficient to start up the lodger; owns shop, let "small", but sufficient to hold the second seller … if its world Dzhulii Roberts (Annas Skott) separates from the world «millions miles» what about me to speak-argue … the Creature I shivering before it, vetoshka jammed — that's all! But then became not to reasonings: the picture involved in itself literally, forced to forget at all both about itself, and about surrounding conditions, both about time, and about weariness. And I for some reason especially was scratched-excited by that call the heroine so is ordinary, is simple, habitual — Anna … I at first have banished-has seen, as though hastily, nacherno, all 124 minutes of action, then, having loaded by double portion of coffee, undertook to look all anew — already with stops, returnings back, smakovaniem (fie, what improper mot, but — let!) separate scenes. Especially, clearly, has excited me an episode when Dzhulija, only just so strange having met the hero of the Grant, leaving its apartment, it is suddenly perfect, absolute, fantastically unexpected for it (and me!) Kisses it on the mouth … And then again, in a night garden, after birthday of sister William, she, Dzhulija, suddenly kisses it when it and to dream of it does not dare, only shy hopes … And, what surprising eyes, what wonderful sight were before it at it — it was directly shone! She has already dared at a kiss, she has already a presentiment-knows, what fantastic gift will bring down now on shy, enamoured in it without memory of the guy which is trampled down somewhere behind, and itself in advance receives-tests from thought of this inexplicable pleasure … And delightful «a bed scene» with dialogue about strange and, ostensibly, nothing of the proved attractiveness of a female breast — and thus William, having raised blanket edge, examines-estimates, the lucky person, breast Dzhulii (well, certainly, Annas, Anna — I agree, I understand, I perfectly understand all!), — this scene has excited-has excited me so, that I and to think have forgotten about a dream and rest … The spectator I was, clearly, supergrateful, I believed everything, that occurred on the screen. I believed even to that the superpopular movie star Anna Skott which portraits decorate all buses of London, could to go easy, ostensibly, one on little shops or without hindrances to sit with William in cafe. But even I have been compelled to admit to myself what to believe unconditionally in the second — heppiendovyj — the ending of a picture of naivety to me does not suffice. I put myself to the place of hero Hju of the Grant and clearly understood: to be lover Anna Skott is an immeasurable happiness; to be her husband, to be at it the husband is a nightmare, it is a flour, it is a shame, it is death!. More correctly what there to dramatize it is simple a joke. Well, to present only: American movie star Dzhulija Roberts who has received for last film of 20 million dollars and which know-like one and a half billion person on the earth, marries the younger editor of small publishing house from rasejskogo small town Baranova which receives the salary in 25 dollars and which more or less know-suffer, maybe, only one and a half ten person on all globe … It is possible to guess, what intellectual standard was reached by me this night. By the morning the head at me was, certainly, cubic and brains at all were not located in malomernoj to a cranium. Not only that I have three times seen entirely and in parts «Notting Hill», I after all have still managed, having taken a contrast shower and a dense breakfast to be run with goggle from natugi eyes and a pencil napereves on foolish editorial listing to the end. And there was not less than three publishing sheets — norm of two working days of the editor! When Anna (my Anna) appeared on a threshold, she quite obosnovanno has decided, that I all two with superfluous days without it saws-walked without prosypu and, as a result, now I am-float in terrible smelly pool under the name — a hungover syndrome. I and to argue-dissuade did not become — forces were not. Was not) in the afternoon when I have on foot dismounted-hurried up on job (rouble on a trolley bus, and there was with me an incident-episode which should disturb very strongly me and even to frighten, if not one memoirs. Having curtailed on street the Soviet, which present owners of a life in any way will not rename all back in Big Of noble family, I as usually, has gained "cruiser" speed, have adjusted a rhythm of a step and on the autopilot have moved to the purpose. Routine movement allowed to think of the and to be assured, that I am equal in half an hour of the purpose, that is a workplace, I will reach. If, of course, anything on road does not happen, if the God small or a serious trouble does not send. To small I carried rare meetings with half-familiar people to which should answer a greeting, and even, stopping, is unnecessary with them kommunikabelnichat; Large it was possible to consider collisions with автó at crossroads when I, too having reflected, pyor on red light, and such situations repeatedly became ripe-flashed, but while, thanks God, from under their smelly wheels I each time any miracle slipped out — fie! Fie! And here I go, I recollect details of that wonderful scene when Anna and William, yet not learnt each other, but already approached souls completely, having already a presentiment-knowing, that ahead of them waits night of love, sit together in a room, having fenced off from all external world, fun in them rages from a happiness overabundance (still!) And they suddenly start to discuss … Mela Gibson's bum. Who does not know details, that can also shoulders from bewilderment to shake, but I knew all cherished secrets: it Dzhulija so has comically revenged the former cheerful partner in a film «Secret of plot» that that incessantly played a trick on it during shootings — that will smear the hand with opposite jelly before hand shake in a gift beautifully packed dead rat will be presented … By me hmelno smiled, recollecting details of an amusing scene, and at the same time soberly grinned over itself: here to what it was already lived-has come — with typically American horse humour I admire. No, the truth speak: from love the person grows stupid … And here all thoughts have taken off from my head at all: I have shuddered at first from a hail-bark of an automobile horn, have recoiled on sidewalk, and have there and then shuddered once again — from even bolshej unexpectedness … I have seen Dzhuliju Roberts! ____________________________ * I on Sergey's place so strongly would not splash bile — in its text file we with my two-thousand Word’ом too have found out some annoying mistakes. In general, the mentor-teacher to be responsible and difficult, it is possible to be trapped: even Ivan Alekseevich Bunin in a diary grumbling uttered to the person that that speaks "by no means" instead of «by no means is not present», and itself easy wrote «since the early childhood» and «in the autobiography» … ** Certainly, it is impossible the long citation, I it even podsokratil, but could not cut off more strongly — really, these facts add much to impression of a film «Notting Hill», and to understanding of character of the author of "the virtual novel». <<<Glik the thirteenth Glik the fifteenth>>>
