1441 Wait quietly
Except for Renly, no one on the crew noticed anything unusual about Simmons..
“Strictly speaking, there are only five professional actors in the cast of "Crack Drummer". Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, Austin Stowell, who have few roles, and then Renly and JK Simon Too bad.
Renly is not only the biggest actor in the crew, but also a producer. Many times, Damien is willing to sit down with Renly to add more to the film from the perspective of performance and character. This also makes Renly the co-ordinator who knows the most about performances among the crew..
Now, Renly is the only one aware of the after-effects of the tension of the performance..
So, even if Damien didn't remind him, Renly still took the initiative to remind him, "Fletcher, wait until I remind you.".”
“What? Wha...what? "Simmons gradually came back to his senses and broke away from his thoughts..
“We need to shoot close-ups." Renly further explained, the words seemed simple, but not too obvious, allowing Simmons to maintain the gap between illusion and reality, giving him enough time and space to slowly and fully return to Come to your senses.
Simmons was slow for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He raised his right hand, made an "OK" gesture, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem. Of course it's no problem." Having said that, Simmons' overall state Still a little hazy, like the feeling when you are half asleep and half awake.
“That would be perfect." Damien had already walked over quickly, hiding the panic and shyness on his face, and then focused on his work first, explaining the intention of the camera to Renly and Simmons..
These close-up scenes are all temporary chemical reactions on the shooting scene, and specific adjustments were made based on the performances of the two actors. Therefore, the drama manager knew nothing about it. Damien had to explain it himself and provide guidance to ensure that The whole shooting can be done according to his ideas.
After the explanation was completed, the crew began to operate again.
The filming of this scene was far from as simple as imagined. From beginning to end, it took more than 20 times to shoot, of which only seven were interrupted due to errors, and the other 13 were all shot by Damien. While capturing close-ups and close-up shots, I tried to complete the editing on the spot in my mind to piece together the most satisfying movie scene..
From daytime shooting to nighttime, after the whole day's crew work time was consumed, the scene was announced to be finished..
“Thank you. Thank you! Thanks for your hard work! "Damien patted Renly and Simmons on the shoulders repeatedly, unable to contain his excitement, and expressed his gratitude, but both Renly and Simmons had zombie faces and stared at Damien coldly, which made Damien's words stayed in place awkwardly and awkwardly, and he was under great pressure..
In the end, it was the smile on Renly's lips that bloomed first, which made Damien cover his chest with lingering fear, "I thought... you just... I thought... okay……”
The fragmented words were never finished, but the meaning could not be more obvious. Renly lowered his jaw slightly and said, "Hard work is one thing, but at least we completed the shooting task today. How about that? That's enough." Have you finished editing?？”
“Enough, enough, absolutely enough! Damien said hurriedly.
In fact, part of the reason is also Damien's "preparedness"”.
Because the crew was only allowed to shoot in Alice Tate Hall for one day, after that, the Juilliard School would need to use it. Even if they wanted to reshoot the footage, it was already impossible; therefore, Dami En tried his best to shoot more shots to provide more material for post-production editing to ensure nothing went wrong..
According to strict standards, today's filming exceeded the union's stipulated working hours, but all the crew members still went all out.
Simmons stood aside without speaking, with a vaguely sarcastic smile on his face, but not too obvious. He always felt that something was wrong with him, but refused to communicate. When Renly and Damien were talking, he He simply nodded and said, "Are you done with today's work? Then I'll go back first.".”
Simmons is like a gloomy dark cloud, drifting away quietly.
Damien stared at Simmons's back, shuddering a little, and asked cautiously, "Is he... okay?"？”
“We'll find out tomorrow." Renly didn't answer directly..
Because Simmons is in the state that Renly is most familiar with, no one else can help now. Simmons can only rely on Simmons to figure out the boundary between illusion and reality. Otherwise, no one can predict the direction of subsequent events..
Because of the on-site shooting, the scenes of "The Boomstick" were not filmed in chronological order, but the overall sequence was still consistent. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the crew will still have filming work, but Andrew and Fletcher will need to re-shoot it. Returning to the state before "Killing the Father" is another test for both actors..
Damien nodded in confusion, looked at Renly again, and then came back to his senses, "Sorry, sorry, you must be exhausted today. Go back and rest quickly. By the way, you need to go to the tiger's mouth. Can the hospital bandage it?？”
“I think our crew can take a break for a while, and there is no need to hype the same news multiple times in a row." Renly responded with an irony, chuckled after finishing his words, and did not wait for Damien to say more. What? He nodded gently to say goodbye, then took steps, walking all the way back along the dark red carpet of the concert hall..
Damien stood there, savoring it carefully, and then suddenly understood. He raised his head and tried to find Renly, but found that Renly had already walked away. He didn't mind, and happily walked away. Greeting the crew to call it a day——
Because the most difficult scene has been filmed, and there will be some easy scenes next, all the shooting can be completed in three days at most or one day at the fastest. The next step is post-production. If nothing else happens, they should I can still make it in time to register for next year’s Sundance Film Festival..
……
Renly left the Alys-Tate Hall and walked along the red carpet toward the audience exit. He could still feel deep fatigue in his body and mind. It wasn't because he couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality. But all the energy was consumed to shoot this scene.
But the strange thing is that he doesn't want to rest now, but wants to quietly reflect on the feeling just now. It was Andrew's breakthrough and his own breakthrough. This mysterious and mysterious feeling made him feel happy..
From a distance, Renly noticed the figure sitting in the back row of the auditorium. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his steps did not stop and he continued to move forward..
The figure did not make a fuss and stood up calmly..
Even though Renly had already opened the door and left, she was not in a hurry. She calmly arranged her clothes before leaving the concert hall. After opening the door, she could see Renly at the door facing the street. Standing there with his back, watching the people coming and going on the street.
Black shirt and black suit pants are still Andrew's costumes.
There is no close-fitting tailoring, and it is not a top brand. It looks like a standard suit purchased at the "Suit Warehouse" of a popular brand chain store. It is put on the body in a general way. Even if it is a sack, there is not much objection; and, After the intense performance just now, sweat seeped out, and the clothes were soaked, then dried, and then soaked again, like a Shar-Pei's chin..
People rely on clothes.
Under such clothes, Renly's back looks like an ordinary college student. He has no star aura and no gentlemanly demeanor. Even if he is thrown into the sea of people in Manhattan, there is absolutely no sense of violation. It even gave birth to a kind of Brooklyn-based temperament..
Rooney Mara couldn't help but chuckle..
The crew was filming the most important scene today. Not only Rooney came to visit the crew, but Paul Walker and Ryan Gosling also came over. Paul also brought his daughter Meadow Ryan with him; in addition, Despite his busy work schedule, Andrew Garfield also showed up and unexpectedly watched the filming of a major scene.
However, because filming the scene was very difficult, all the friends who came to visit the class did not disturb Renly's work. They just said hello and then silently turned around and left according to their own time..
After going back and forth, Rooney was the only one left in the end..
Rooney was not in a hurry, just quietly enjoying Renly's performance. To be honest, this was a kind of enjoyment, because of the performance itself, and because of Renly himself. When a person - whether a man or a woman, concentrates on When you are involved in something, your whole person will sparkle, and that kind of charm is unparalleled.
Waiting and waiting, the passage of time loses its meaning. When the whole day of shooting came to an end, Rooney was actually a little regretful because she still didn't appreciate enough to watch the performance of a top actor and the plot and story. It doesn’t matter, it’s a kind of enjoyment in itself.
His eyes fell on Renly's back, and he stepped forward. Rooney and Renly stood side by side, and then you could see Renly holding a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and his slightly frowned brows showed a trace of tiredness. , different from the ordinary and youthful appearance shown in the back, when you notice this face and these eyes, the wisdom and mature charm that belongs to time bloom, even if it is as ordinary as a black dress Even a shirt cannot cover it.
Rooney was stunned for a moment, and the smile slowly flowed out of her eyes, "So, are you imitating James Dean?" James Dean, who died young, frowned and held a cigarette in his mouth. , has become a classic in film history.
Renly pursed his lips slightly, "Do you like James Dean?"？”
“……”Rooney did not expect such an answer, but she still shook her head, "No..”
Renly raised his eyes slightly, "Then it's not.”
