America 1987

Chapter 87 Competition

"Dances with Wolves" is set in the American West of the 1860s, where the traditional clothing of the Sioux Indians was primarily practical. Deerskin garments were inherently heavy, and typically did not require a modern-style undergarment.

However, that's the reality. Movies, especially those with serious historical themes, while always striving for realism, can't completely replicate reality.

Because the deerskin fabric has a certain thickness, the inner outline will not be obviously visible during normal activities, so actors are allowed to wear their own clothes underneath.

However, for the sake of the shooting effect, she wore a minimalist strapless style without underwire.

Naomi felt a little dizzy. She leaned against the tree and consciously took deep breaths to relax her body.

Her blonde hair fell naturally, revealing her complete shoulder and neck area. The off-shoulder design of the costume accentuated the softness and bone structure of her shoulder line. The lines connecting her shoulder and neck were smooth and clear, and her slightly tucked jawline was tight and clean.

She doesn't have the cool, fair skin of Nicole Kidman, but rather leans towards "porcelain skin," with an even and radiant complexion that perfectly complements her light blonde hair, giving it a warm tone and a strong sense of softness and roundness.

Why did you agree?

"For no reason."

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to experience it," Naomi said, trying to keep her voice calm, "to experience what it feels like to breathe here."

David didn't speak, but silently sized up the other person's physique.

Her curves are soft and full, and her proportions are just right. Although she doesn't have the same size as Scarlett Johansson, she is still very healthy and mature.

He had already noticed her silhouette while riding the horse; her loose, primitive attire couldn't conceal her naturally beautiful body curves, which combined the fullness and agility of a mature woman.

"I don't understand," David asked. "Why would you do this? Just because you want the experience?"

"Of course not."

Naomi got dressed again. "Ni might have recommended me to you, so you must have a special relationship with her, right?"

"Does this have anything to do with this?" "Yes, it has a lot to do with it," she said, brushing her blonde hair, which had been blown in front of her by the wind, back behind her. "The fact that she's so open about it means that your relationship is definitely not normal."

"Why would you say that? Aren't you best friends?" "That's precisely why I said that. If you were really her boyfriend, how could she so readily recommend me for this role?"

"Were you rivals before?" "No," she shook her head, "but best friends are the most likely to become rivals, and Nicole can't possibly not understand that. Since she introduced me here, it means that you two are definitely not a real couple."

"So what does this have to do with your willingness to 'get some fresh air' just now?"

"Heh," Naomi turned her head and laughed, "How does it look compared to Nicole?"

"I never compare myself to women in this respect."

David said cautiously, "At least we won't compare behind each other's backs."

"Hmph, you're so smooth. You've already looked at it, but you can't even offer a comment."

David ignored that and continued with the previous question: "You did this because you wanted to compare yourself to Nicole?"

"Yeah, it's a pity we didn't gain anything," Naomi complained. "All that sacrifice was for nothing."

After recalling Naomi's experiences in the original timeline, David discovered that she and Nicole did indeed enjoy competing and seeing who was better in certain aspects.

In 12, she took on the role in the biographical film "Diana," reportedly to compete with Nicole Kidman, who was filming "Grace of Monaco."

At the time, Hollywood was particularly fond of making biographical films about British political and royal figures, and film school judges were very receptive to this genre.

The 06 film "The Queen" tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II's inner struggles and decisions after Princess Diana's death in a car accident. Helen Mirren won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film, and this trend gradually gained popularity afterward.

The 10 film "The King's Speech" tells the story of how King George VI overcame his stutter and delivered an inspiring speech before World War II. It was described as "a royal and inspirational film, a standard inspirational film with few plot twists."

This unremarkable biopic surprisingly beat out the highly anticipated "The Social Network" in the Oscar race for Best Picture and Best Director, which finally ignited Hollywood's enthusiasm for making biopics of British political and royal figures.

It's almost certain that Naomi and Nicole took on roles in the British princess biopic back then, both in an effort to win an Oscar.

However, the overlap in their filming schedules was a bit too high—Nicole's "Grace of Monaco" started filming in October 2012, while Naomi reportedly didn't want to take the script for "Diana" until she saw her best friend's actions, at which point she decided to accept the role and filming began in March 2013.

The two films were originally scheduled for release very close together, with the former in December 2013 and the latter in September 2013. The competition between them was too obvious.

It's obvious that the two are competing against each other. It's said that Naomi hired a professional voice trainer to correct her pronunciation and spent several months preparing in order to beat her best friend in terms of acting skills.

Although neither of them ultimately succeeded, their strong competitive spirit is evident.

"What? You two are progressing that fast?"

"That's fast? I was already like that, and there was no one around, and he just looked at me with his eyes."

Naomi complained into the phone, "Is mine really that much worse than yours?"

She originally thought that even if the other person didn't say anything, they would at least do something, but she didn't expect that they would just watch her sit there "getting some fresh air".

After returning to the hotel today, she kept thinking about the reason while taking a shower, but she still couldn't figure out why.

"Not bad, not bad at all," Nicole comforted her best friend. "At best, I'm on par with you; I'm not much better than you."

To be honest, receiving a call from Naomi late at night, and hearing this kind of thing, did cause Nicole's brain to briefly freeze for a moment.

But then she realized—Naomi must have figured out her relationship with David. Plus, her best friend was always aloof and didn't really have any other close friends besides her. So, the reason she called her that night about this was probably because she couldn't find anyone else to confide in.

Actually, Naomi made that call just to vent to her best friend. She didn't even get to home base, so there was no need to brag about it to her friend.

"Then why did he act so calmly?"

"Was that 'get some fresh air' invitation him to?"

"Yeah, he even said it when no one in the crew could see him," Naomi said, shaking her hair, which had gotten wet in the shower. "I thought he was going to do something there, which made me so nervous that it took me ages to take off that costume."

"What do you mean? You played a savage, and you actually think you're one?" Nicole exclaimed in shock. "You actually thought you'd give away your virginity in a place like that?"

"Huh? How did you know it was my first time?"

Now it was Naomi's turn to be shocked, so shocked that she didn't even bother to correct the other party's incorrect name for Native Americans.
