1059 Back to the set again
Surrey is a quiet town located only thirty minutes' drive southeast of London. The meandering Thames River passes quietly through the whole town. It is comfortable and peaceful, comfortable and beautiful. The University of Surrey located here is even more famous in England. A century-old prestigious school, the bustling students have brought a touch of vitality and youth to local life..
However, compared with the beautiful or magnificent scenery in other parts of the British Isles, Surrey has a richer atmosphere of life, and the rural atmosphere unique to the suburbs is also more distinct. This is a small town suitable for settled life, but it is not suitable for vacation and travel. Tourists, the attraction seems not so graceful..
Standing beside the reeds on the country road, you can see rural houses with dark red brick walls slowly spread out. The messy bushes, wet soil and dilapidated shacks outline the chaos without order. Above your head, Large swaths of dark clouds above the sky blocked the sunlight, making all the scenery in sight dim, and the hurried footsteps did not want to stop at all..
But Renly's footsteps stopped and he stood on the path, seriously admiring the scene of life in front of him..
The old man who was in the garden, with his back hunched over, was concentrating on pruning the lilac tree fence. The clicking sound of the scissors followed a special rhythm amidst the sound of the wind..
The postman riding a bicycle to deliver the mail, with a bright smile on his face, warmly greeted the residents standing on the balcony on the second floor..
There is also an old lady wearing a floral dress standing at the intersection, carefully looking at the empty intersection, looking for an opportunity to cross the intersection.
……
There are no special images or pictures. It is filled with a strong flavor of life, even a little trivial, but it makes the mood slowly settle down, and a faint warmth comes to my heart..
“What are you looking at? "Nathan curiously poked his head around, stood next to Renly, and looked along Renly's line of sight, but found nothing. Not only were the questions in his head unanswered, but he also became more confused..
A smile appeared on Renly's lips, and he said with a chuckle, "That's it, a corner of the town..”
Nathan frowned slightly, not knowing why: Is there anything special about this corner of the town? I have been standing here for at least three minutes. It looks more like I am admiring a masterpiece..
“The eccentricities of artists are always unpredictable, so don’t guess." A voice with a chuckle came from behind, without turning his head, but Nathan turned his head directly, and then saw the man coming towards him. Rooney Mara.
Today, Rooney is wearing a light outfit, a white shirt and sky blue jeans, paired with a pair of white canvas shoes, and finally a smoky gray jacket. Her long dark hair is tied into a ponytail casually, and she has no hair on her body. Any extra embellishments and decorations are simple and elegant, but they reveal a Nordic coldness, making the eyes fall on the corners of her mouth involuntarily..
Nathan couldn't help but blink, and more unanswered questions were added to his head: When did Rooney appear? Why didn't he hear any engine noise? Did Rooney come here on foot? Also, what do Rooney’s words mean? Is it him or Renly?？
While thinking and hesitating, Nathan saw Rooney blinking with a smile, revealing a hint of playfulness. In an instant, the coldness quietly dissipated, as if he could see a glimmer of light brightening little by little. , revealing a touch of warmth.
Rooney's footsteps stopped beside her, and she did not speak immediately. Instead, she cast her gaze forward and joined Renly, quietly admiring the quiet rural scene in front of her..
The tranquility that surged between the two people, inexplicably, calmed down Nathan's eagerness and irritability. Countless questions were still unanswered, but he was no longer anxious to pursue the answers. Then, Nathan also joined them. Queue, watching the scene in front of me, but still confused and confused.
“Long time no see? I guess you will definitely miss all of this." Rooney broke the silence, her cold voice revealing a slight smile..
“Ha." Renly chuckled, then shook his head from side to side, not denying, but noncommittal..
It has been ten months, more than ten months, and I have stayed in the city, from Berlin to Los Angeles, then to London, and finally New York. Since entering 2012, I have spent all my time here. Traveling back and forth between several cities, one job after another, my feet never touch the ground, I simply can’t stop..
Now, I finally left the city limits again for a long time and came to the countryside. The large buildings and bustling crowds in my sight have all faded away. Even the noise and chirping in my ears have completely disappeared. The feeling is spreading from the inside out. The tranquility makes people want to immerse themselves in it and wander slowly.
Of course, the same goes for the crew.
The stage and the crew are two completely different ways of performing. After further polishing his acting skills on the stage, Renly is now gearing up and can't wait to return to the crew, stand in front of the camera, and immerse himself in the world of performance again. , check out what you have gained in the past six months.
Therefore, standing on the country road, Renly stopped and let his tight heartstrings relax little by little..
Rooney understands, truly understands Renly's inner feelings..
Just like last year's Oscar ceremony, Rooney almost fled Los Angeles and went to Seattle. She could still feel the dull and depressing suffocation in the architectural space of Seattle. If it weren't for Sitting on a bench chatting with Renly, Rooney will choose to go to the city park and disappear into the vast green..
“Are you sure your nerves aren't too tight? Just a week ago, you just finished your Broadway show, I thought you would take some more time off." Rooney said again..
“Yes, I regret it." Renly admitted readily, which made Rooney's smile rise involuntarily, "But it's worth it, this work is worth it." He then added, " In fact, after the last show on Broadway, I just couldn't put the script down and really dive into this whole new world.”
“Uh..." Nathan made a hesitant sound and said slowly, "After the show, didn't you go to Hawaii for surfing?？”
Nathan's revelation on the spot made Rooney chuckle uncontrollably, but Renly did not show any embarrassment at all and said calmly, "While surfing, I mean.”
After finishing the Broadway show, Renly bought a ticket for the next day and went directly to Hawaii, where he stayed for seven days, relaxing on vacation and completely clearing his mind while surfing. Otherwise, as Rooney said, from The trip from Broadway to the set of "Gravity" was really too intensive, and Renly was a little overwhelmed..
“Are you sure your skin tone is suitable for becoming an astronaut? "Rooney looked Renly up and down and joked..
Renly said calmly, "No one rules that astronauts can't like surfing." Seeing the joking smile in Rooney's eyes, he knew that he couldn't continue to talk nonsense. The astronauts were on the space station. The condition of the skin after working for a long time cannot be compared with that during surfing. "Okay, if the director needs it, I will whiten my skin.".”
That helpless expression made Rooney laugh happily, but she did not continue to pester her, "But I must admit that this is a very special script. To be honest, I don't have much clue right now. I don't even know. Know how I got this role.”
“When we exchanged emails before, didn’t you just join a new crew? "The questions I had before, now I finally have the opportunity to ask them in person..
Rooney turned her head and looked with wide eyes, "That was already two and a half months ago. Soderbergh's shooting progress was very fast, and it was completed in less than a month." Therefore, Rooney had this. Enough free time to join the crew of "Gravity" and co-produce with him for the first time.
Renly was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that while he was working on Broadway, Rooney's work was also in full swing. Obviously, he had just made a mistake. It seemed that his head was not completely tense yet..
“Maybe, starting from today, I should regain the habit of thinking." Renly made a self-deprecating joke, and Rooney and Nathan both laughed, "So, after studying the script, what is your conclusion?？”
“The script itself leaves actors with limited thinking space, and the real performance space comes from the director." Without pausing, Rooney immediately expressed her opinion, "So, before the official start of filming, the creative team needs to do a good job Let’s talk about it. What ideas do you have for the character?？”
As Renly and Rooney said, "Gravity" is a very special script. Not only because of the large number of one-man shows, but also because of the large amount of blank space, using the actors' performances to complete the exploration and in-depth exploration of the core ideas. This means that the actor must fully understand the director's creative intention and the deep meaning behind the composition of the picture..
Furthermore, the actor must also have a sufficient understanding of the character. What happened in the character's past, which led to the thinking and struggle within the time frame of the movie; how does the character's mental state fit with the story situation, which in turn triggered the situation? Thoughts below; also, what is the driving force of the character that drives the progress of the entire story?.
Before officially committing to a performance, the actor must have a clear understanding of the entire story and the entire character, and have accurate control of the entire movie and the director's concept. Only in this way can the work proceed smoothly.
Now, Renly and Rooney are having discussions, and this is only the first day the two of them have arrived on the set, and they haven't even officially entered the set..
