"I must say, everyone, well done. You've all performed exceptionally. Although such words are usually reserved for when filming wraps up, your performance exceeded my expectations and set a good precedent for the entire movie, so you truly deserve this praise." After today's shooting was over, Adrian gathered everyone and gave them a generous commendation.
They indeed performed outstandingly, from makeup to lighting to filming and the two lead roles, so Adrian doesn't mind keeping everyone's morale high this way. As long as this state continues, the film's progress will be significantly shortened.
"The facts prove I chose the right people, so keep it up, Joaquin." Adrian then encouraged Joaquin Phoenix with a pat, before turning to Natalie, "You too, Natalie, you've not disappointed me, and I believe you won't disappoint me in what's to come—do you have any plans tonight, Natalie?"
