1447 Go their separate ways
“"Crack Drummer" is finished.
The entire filming cycle lasted only nineteen days, less than three weeks, even shorter than the time Renly spent practicing drums. Before they had time to fully feel the heat of New York's midsummer, the crew had finished all filming and devoted themselves wholeheartedly. Busy time at work is always like this. It seems that before I have time to savor it, another project has come to an end..
However, the crew members are still not completely idle and relaxed..
Damien Chazelle and Justin Hurwitz jumped into post-production immediately, and they still have a lot of work to do in order to meet the registration deadline for this year's Sundance Film Festival. Although this is not a computer-heavy film Special effects work, but post-production editing and soundtrack are crucial links to the quality of the film, and they need to hurry up.
JK Simmons is extremely busy. Although he is not the kind of top golden supporting actor, as a blue-collar supporting actor, he has a lot of job opportunities. On average, he can have at least five jobs every year, or even more. This time too In this way, after "Crack Drummer" wraps up, there are already two jobs waiting in Los Angeles..
One is Jason-Reitman's new film "Men Women and Children". Simmons had previously collaborated with Jason on "Juno", so when a supporting role was needed, Jason was the first to do it. Simmons comes to mind; the other is an animated series called "BoJack Horseman", in which Simmons is invited to voice the voice..
Neither job is a big deal, and can only be regarded as an insignificant part of the countless jobs in Hollywood, but it can also be seen from the side that Simmons is well-liked in the industry..
However, Simmons seems to have not been able to completely escape the shadow of Terrence Fletcher. It is rare that he did not go to Los Angeles immediately to start work; instead, he went to Napa Valley to rest and adjust for three days to let the tense nerves relax a little. After relaxing, I officially returned to Los Angeles and started a new job..
As for whether Simmons has completely gotten rid of Fletcher's influence, only he knows.
Finally, Renly.
Renly chose to take a vacation and be alone.
Neither Renly nor Rooney is the type who likes to be together all the time when they are in love. What's more, Rooney is more willing to get back into acting than to do nothing on vacation for a long time. This is, She and Renly have exactly the same personality, so when the job came to her, Rooney nodded and agreed without hesitation..
Director Stephen-Daldry, who has filmed "Out of My World", "The Hours", "Loud and Incredible" and "The Reader", is preparing to shoot a new film, "Garbage Boy" , the work is similar to "City of God", reflecting the lives of poor children in Brazil.
His previous three directorial works were all nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. Stephen Daldry is undoubtedly one of the most stable British directors now. Not long ago, he collaborated with Helen Mirren in the stage play "The Queen Summons", which was highly praised in London's West End. rave reviews, and now it’s finally back on the big screen, which is also highly anticipated..
Rooney is about to join this work and play a supporting role. The main perspective of "Garbage Boy" is still focused on the children. Rooney is more of a go-between and has limited room for performance; but being able to cooperate with Stephen is important for character interpretation and interpretation. The details of the performance and so on were still helpful, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation..
In fact, because she was worried about Renly's situation on the set, Rooney had slightly postponed her trip to the set for three days. After seeking Stephen's consent, Rooney took a red-eye flight to Los Angeles on the night when "Breaking Drummer" was finalized. They will begin reading the script there before heading to Rio de Janeiro for filming..
Renly, who stayed in New York, did not leave for surfing or skydiving this time. Instead, he chose to return to the practice room and continue practicing drums..
For many people, after the movie is finished, there is no need to continue to practice the skills for the movie for a long time; but in Renly's view, these skills are not learned for the movie, but more for themselves. Those who study do not need to be proficient. At least they can broaden their horizons and experiences. This is also a different gain from working as an actor..
Objectively speaking, this is also a habit left over from the education of hereditary aristocratic families..
Reading and learning are a work that is carried out unremittingly in order to enrich oneself and increase the heritage. It cannot be measured and calculated simply by practicality and return on benefits, because the so-called culture, temperament and heritage are just like this step by step, one step at a time. It’s accumulated bit by bit, there are no shortcuts.
First, "The Ballad of Drunkenness", and then "The Crackling Drummer", Renly became associated with two musical movies. This also became a rare opportunity for Renly to learn more about folk music and jazz, although both types of music have gradually become more popular. Decline, far away from the public view of pop music, but true fans can still taste its classics and charm.
When Johnson Clark, who taught Renly the drums before, learned that Renly wanted to continue learning the drums, he was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down..
“"First impressions can be deceiving," "You can't tell people by their appearance," and "Hollywood rumors are often false nine times out of ten." Everyone knows these truths, but in real life, prejudice and stubbornness often still prevail and distort Our concepts and opinions. It is precisely because of this that we need to open our eyes, open our minds, and embrace more different possibilities. This is the correct way to understand the world..
Johnson understands this now.
For Renly, those misunderstandings and prejudices are incorrect. So, what is the real Renly like? You can only experience and understand it through your own personal experience. As Renly's drum teacher, Johnson corrected himself for the first time and began to teach advanced skills seriously..
Johnson never publicized this experience in a high-profile manner, but many years later, Renly still visited Johnson frequently at the Juilliard School and invited Johnson to participate in the drum recording work for several of his later solo albums. , they can’t be considered friends, but they are more familiar than work partners..
Occasionally, after a student accidentally captured Renly's figure, he couldn't help but be curious and asked Johnson, who later became a teacher at the Juilliard School, "What kind of person is Renly?"？”
“He's a madman. But I like it." This is Johnson's answer, without too many adjectives, without too many lavish praises. Everything is simple: I like it..
So, after the completion of "Explosion Drummer", Renly's life became simple and pure..
At the end of another afternoon of practice, Renly left the campus of the New York University School of Music and returned to his apartment on his skateboard. Although he got lost on the first day of learning the drums, Renly was now familiar with everything. Streetscapes and streets become familiar.
Opening the door to the apartment, Renly spoke firmly and said, "Look, I told you before that I'm not a wanderlust. It only took me less than ten minutes to get back today."！”
Matthew Dunlop was sitting at his desk and busy. When he heard those meaningless words, he knew who it was without raising his head at all. "You said he's not a roadie? He even found the wrong door to his own house." Guy." This is obviously the third floor, not the second floor, but Renly walks in and out as if it were his own home..
But Renly didn't answer.
Then a series of trivial sounds came to my ears: opening the refrigerator, looking for fruits, opening the cupboard, looking for tea sets... and so on..
Matthew sat there and endured it again and again, but thinking of Renly's powerful destructive power in the kitchen, he finally couldn't hold it back and stood up, "Sebastian, are you too familiar with this place now?" ? Completely consider this place to be your home.？”
“Who said that? I still can't find where to put the kettle. To be honest, do you have a hidden compartment or something?？”
“……You can't find it in your home either.”
“That's right, the design of the apartment is unreasonable. You can't blame me for that..”
“……You'd better sit in the living room and leave these things to me..”
“real? Are you sure? I can still help... Don't roll your eyes. There are very few kind-hearted friends like me nowadays. I really want to help. Okay, okay, okay, I'll leave now. God, isn't it like last time? Did I break a bowl for you? I gave it to you as a gift. Next time I go out, I’ll just carry it back for you..”
“……”Faced with such a situation, Matthew chose to remain silent.
A bowl? Just a bowl? Did he forget that the last time he heated up a pizza he almost burned down the entire kitchen?？
In this regard, Renly's brain capacity is so shockingly low that Matthew is too lazy to complain about it..
Choosing to stay in New York during the vacation also means that Renly's three-meal problem needs to be solved. It is absolutely inappropriate to order takeaways every day; and considering Renly's destructive power in the kitchen, cooking by himself is also not appropriate. Not practical. Fortunately, Matthew still retains the habit of cooking at his own home. Not every day, but he still chooses to eat at home three or four days a week..
So, the "stray cat" who had no one to adopt moved his base from the second floor to the third floor, working hard to avoid starving to death..
“Matthew, what's on the menu for dinner today? I think the red wine fried lamb chops last time was very good; however, I have been a little greedy for cod recently. How about we go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and prepare them when we come back? How about I help you write down a materials list?？”
“Hey, I haven’t asked you yet, why are you working from home today? How was the matter with the client you talked to me about last time resolved? Was she really lying? Using the method I mentioned, it won’t really succeed, right? Using acting to deal with liars, isn’t this a plot that only appears in TV dramas?？”
Sitting in the living room, Renly babbled; standing in the kitchen, Matthew washed the mangoes quickly and prepared afternoon tea. There was no conversation or exchange, but it didn't seem strange at all..
