1385 step by step
“The lighting team came over. The lights were too bright. They turned off all the lights in the hall, leaving only the lights on the counter and aisle..”
“Costume group? Costume team, where's Renly's coat? It's the black one.”
“Melissa’s makeup is too thick and she looks too neat. What’s going on?？”
“Wait, where is the prop team, prop team, and microphone? Where's the radio microphone?？”
“God, what the hell is going on?？”
……
“The crew of "Explosive Drummer" has officially started shooting, and today is the second day. Obviously, the crew has not yet fully entered the state. It still seems a little busy, and the coordination between various departments is a bit chaotic..
However, this is normal, because the crew is very, very small. The so-called props team, lighting team, and costume team are actually only one person. One person is responsible for all the trivial work of the entire crew, which is inevitably a bit hectic..
Especially Renly's existence, everyone has not been able to fully adapt to it. When they are busy, they will suddenly stop what they are doing, and they can't help but wonder: Is all this true? Is Renly, who just won the EGOT, filming in this crew that is as big as a sparrow's heart?？
Then, when you turn your head, you can see Renly sitting next to him and reading the script intently. Only then can he realize that everything is real..
So and so, over and over again, there is always a sense of unreality.
Renly could feel the gazes coming from all directions, surging and boiling like never before. Such an experience had never been felt before, but this was his life and a continuing issue in the future. He must learn to get used to it and deal with it calmly. Wholeheartedly readjust yourself and get back into acting.
After his breathing calmed down, Renly's eyes fell on the script in his hand..
“The entire filming progress of "Breaking Drummer" was very fast. Although yesterday was the first official day of filming, today we have already started filming the twenty-third scene; of course, each scene is relatively short and not too long. Yesterday's filming of a long and difficult scene went very smoothly, and all the work ended smoothly without any challenges..
The scene to be filmed today is quite special for Andrew.
After entering the academy, Andrew has always dreamed of going one step further and joining the jazz band conducted by Fletcher. It is the top band in the entire school. Every musician who joins it is an elite. As long as he can occupy a place in it, It seems that it already has the possibility of becoming a legend.
But the problem is that even in the school's ordinary band, Andrew, who has just joined the school, is just a substitute drummer. Ryan is the core drummer. The other musicians in the band don't like Andrew. They think Andrew has no talent. All the performances were a mess.
Involuntarily, Andrew lacked confidence in himself. He tried to become better but didn't know what to do..
Unexpectedly, Fletcher noticed Andrew's talents and talents. In full view of the band practice room, he asked Andrew to report to the band he was conducting..
For Andrew, this is the best day of his life. He can finally lift his chin and feel proud; he can finally join the band of his dreams and continue his studies. He can even imagine a future where he becomes a top drummer, rises to prominence, and is famous throughout the ages..
So, Andrew, who had always lacked self-confidence, finally gained some confidence. He decided to muster up the courage to send a date invitation to the cinema conductor whom he had always had a crush on..
This movie theater conductor is Nicole, played by Melissa.
In fact, the lines of this scene are not difficult in themselves. What is difficult is the heartbeat and shyness and ignorance hidden in them..
This not only shows Andrew's first love, the interaction between the two young people seems simple and pure; more importantly, it shows a ray of sunshine in Andrew's heart, he is still a man immersed in his own fantasy and beauty The boy in his dreams, he will still cheer for the appreciation of his teacher and the smile of his crush..
Andrew at this moment is real and beautiful.
To put it more directly, he is still sunny.
As the subsequent story progresses, he slowly falls into darkness, becomes paranoid and crazy, and finally completely cuts off contact with Nicole, and gradually falls under Fletcher's control..
This is a commonly used method in drama writing. It sets up a person or thing with iconic significance. This is the final bottom line deep in the heart. Once it is defeated or cut off, it will completely escape into darkness or usher in an explosion of madness. , creating a dramatic turning point and ushering in the climax of the third act of the script.
In Andrew's story, Nicole is this symbol.
Returning to the scene about to be filmed, Andrew, who has always had low self-esteem and reservedness, was a frequent visitor to this cinema. He would come here every now and then, but he never had the courage to speak, or even the courage to look Nicole in the eye. But today, because of Fletcher's appreciation, his confidence was greatly increased, as if this was the best day of his life, so he decided to take this step cautiously.
Youthful, reserved, introverted, nervous, uneasy.
This is Andrew's state, truly showing the boyish feeling of first love.
Renly slowly calmed down his emotions and read the script over and over again. The seemingly boring dialogue had incomparable power, showing a ray of sunshine deep in Andrew's soul..
“Renly, the crew is ready..”
Renly did not answer, but put the script aside, stood up directly, and walked to the camera with ease..
Today's scene is not difficult. For Renly, who has experienced many battles, it couldn't be easier. To be precise, from yesterday to today, all the scenes were like this. Judging from the smoothness of the actual filming, it was also verified this.
But Renly still did not take it lightly or treat it casually. He still followed his own steps, completed the preparations step by step, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the performance..
After four months of long rest and adjustment, Renly now cherishes every opportunity to perform in a scene. He enjoys the process of opening up the character's world bit by bit, as if he is creating a life bit by bit. And give your life more color and weight.
After the show manager confirmed all the matters, Damien raised his voice and officially announced "Start filming"”.
Andrew stood at the door of the cinema, fiddling with the hem of his coat unconsciously, as if he was worried that his clothes were not neat enough, and seemed to use small movements to relieve his nervousness. Then, he stepped forward and walked forward. After walking a few steps, The beautiful figure at the counter came into view. Andrew's steps paused unnaturally, straightening his back deliberately, raising his head and chest, and then continued to move forward towards the counter..
“Hey." Andrew's voice was slightly tight. After saying hello briefly, he realized how nervous he was and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the hair on the back of his neck..
Nicole showed her girl-next-door smile and said hello, "Hey, hello..”
“You...Hello, how are you? "Andrew didn't seem to know how to speak, and his words became fragmented..
Nicole was amused by Andrew's weirdness, "I'm fine, thank you.”
But the words paused here. Andrew didn't speak, and Nicole didn't know why. The atmosphere became awkward for a while..
Andrew always lowered his gaze, staring at the glass of the counter, his muscles were horribly stiff..
Nicole was a little confused, but she still fulfilled her job responsibilities after all, "As usual?" Andrew came here too many times, and the things he bought every time were very similar, so Nicole was used to his routine, and she firmly Keep the guests’ needs in mind.
“Uh..." Andrew began to feel uneasy. He raised his gaze and looked at Nicole quickly, then lowered it again. But then he mustered up the courage to raise it again and met Nicole's eyes, but he still couldn't. He dared to look directly, and the focus of his eyes was slightly shifted. This seemed to gain him some courage..
“No, you see, I don't understand, in general... how... uh... I mean, I see you here a lot, and I think you... um... very pretty. Would you... would you like to be with Am I going out on a date?？”
Finally, the invitation was sent out smoothly..
Andrew quietly glanced at Nicole's eyes with his peripheral vision, trying to find out the other party's answer in advance, but he was disappointed..
Because Nicole was stunned. She was completely stunned. She didn’t speak and had no expression. To be more precise, she actually had an expression. After being extremely nervous, she couldn’t help but start to show panic and panic expressions. , it seems that the brain is so shut down that it cannot respond in any way..
Andrew swallowed nervously and asked tentatively again, "So, what do you think?？”
Nicole opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she couldn't squeeze out a single word. She just froze in place in panic and stiffness, motionless..
“Card！”
Damien's voice rang out. In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong before. After Andrew sent out a date invitation, Nicole had to respond, but in fact, Melissa did not respond at all. Seeing this, Renly did not show any reaction at all. Show panic, continue the performance calmly and calmly, making the story more logical.
However, Melissa still didn’t respond.
Damien couldn't stand it any longer and was forced to interrupt the filming, "Melissa? What's going on? Did you forget your lines?"？”
Melissa stared at Renly, her mouth opening and closing unconsciously, as if she was explaining something, but there was no sound at all. Only Renly could see her mouth movements, but there was no way to start, because they were all meaningless. The onomatopoeia is not a complete vocabulary or even a sentence at all..
“Holy shit, what the hell happened? Who can tell me what is going on now? "Damien didn't get the answer he wanted. He was confused and impatient. He seemed a little unable to settle down..
Renly didn't speak, just stared at Melissa quietly.
