2278 Start from scratch
Angus and May-Bell were exchanging glances, because the situation at the scene was so unexpected and so fierce that they couldn't keep up with the speed and even began to doubt their lives..
First there was a fight between Renly and Gareth, then they were involved, then the show changed, and before they had time to understand the whole picture and their roles, now Renly and Felicity have started. Got the lines right... Even the ballet whip turns are not so fast, making people unable to keep up with the rhythm. This is something the crew has never experienced before. So, what should they do?？
Isn’t this a commercial blockbuster?？
“The "Star Wars" series has never relied on "delicate and profound performances" to win; they have rarely heard that visual special effects blockbusters rely on the fullness and vividness of characters to win the hearts of the audience, but the entire trend at this time seems to be changing. Off track, things become more and more difficult to figure out..
Is it just because of Renly?？
But thinking back carefully about what happened in the short period of time, it seems that it is not just because of Renly, it seems that it is not just as simple as exploring his acting skills..
Even the director agreed.
“what to do？”
“I don't know either.”
“Go and ask？”
“are you sure？”
“Otherwise？”
Angus and May-Bell exchanged glances frequently, but there was inevitably some hesitation in their eyes. The hesitation in confusion prevented them from making an easy decision. In the end, Angus mustered up the courage to step forward—— There are countless rumors about Renly in London, but one thing is unanimous: Renly's professionalism is definitely worthy of admiration..
Maybe, speaking up and asking if you don't understand is the best way. Just like Garris.
Angus decided to trust Renly for once, "Excuse me, can we join you in the dialogue?" Angus also took May-Belle along with him, and turned to gesture to May-Belle who was following behind, "I means……”
Angus was about to continue explaining, but Renly readily agreed, "Of course!" Seemingly sensing the hesitation and confusion between Angus and May-Belle's brows, Renly took the initiative and said, "The picture of Garris The main focus is still on grandeur, and the visual special effects are still the biggest highlight of the movie. Our performance must not be too trivial and delicate, and the whole thing still needs to be concise; but at the same time, Felicity and I hope to have a main line for the characters, Following the ups and downs of the plot, we can show the growth of the characters. Therefore, we need to be more accurate and precise in our emotions..”
“But you must avoid exerting too much force during the performance," Felicity added..
May- Belle could sense the kindness and relaxed a little. "Isn't this asking for trouble?" She regretted it after saying that. She actually said her true thoughts without opening the door..
Unexpectedly, Felicity laughed, "This is Master Renly's style, don't you know? He always likes to cause trouble for himself.”
Renly tilted his head and looked at Felicity, "Hey, madam, if you don't like it, we can stop this stupid trick at any time." The faint smile in his words could be felt, he joking.
Felicity pretended not to hear, but looked at Angus and May-Belle, "Quick, we need to hurry up, Garris is still waiting for us..”
Angus and May-Bell both cast their gazes at Renly. Obviously, Felicity's words don't count, and Renly still needs to make the decision after all..
Felicity was not angry either. She turned to look at Renly helplessly and made a very ugly face to express her strong dissatisfaction..
This made Renly couldn't help but chuckle, and he gently nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Welcome to join us, but we need to speed up, the entire crew is waiting for us. I can confirm that the first scene will be It's not a good sign if it takes a whole day.”
The atmosphere finally relaxed completely.
Now Angus and May-Belle finally understand, at least they understand what Renly and Felicity are trying to do - their ideas are obviously still too narrow-minded..
“certainly! Angus immediately took over the conversation, not facing Renly, but nodded towards Felicity to express his agreement..
Then you can see Felicity nodding with satisfaction, raising her right arm like Popeye to show off her non-existent biceps..
May- Belle could see Renly rolling his eyes to express his complaint. That was not a gentlemanly move at all, but it made her burst into laughter..
“Do we start from scratch? Angus didn't notice Renly's expression and continued to ask, "Wait, what did Garris just say?" I need to collect some？”
In this way, the four actors gathered together and began to read the lines off-camera. They were not reading the script, but really engaging in the performance..
This method is more frequently used in drama performances. Before the official performance, the actors need to practice over and over again to get into a tacit understanding; and now, in a commercial movie, it is the first scene of "some important but not The actors are practicing for the "vital" scene.
Garris was already ready to start shooting, but when he saw the actions of Renly and others, he didn't say anything. He sat down on the floor in the corner of the conference room and discussed with the photographer and lighting engineer how to make full use of the space. The question came, and then...the crew just became leisurely..
inexplicably.
Executive producer Jason McGatlin stood next to the set, his eyes full of confusion, but he didn't understand what was going on..
……
“How about it? how does it feel？”
“Just try it and you will know.”
Correcting the lines does not require the entire line to be completely smooth. It is more about finding a mood and a rhythm, and then spending time to figure out and adjust each other so that the rival actors can be on the same track. The four actors rehearsed back and forth. After doing it four or five times, it took less than ten minutes to gradually figure out the feeling - it was just that the rhythm was wrong before, and it did not mean that the strength was not good..
During the exchange of glances, the actors made sure they were ready, and Angus raised his voice and shouted in the direction of the monitor, "The captain is ready to set sail.".”
He didn't even realize that Garris was not behind the monitor, so his cool move came to nothing, causing the surrounding staff to burst into laughter..
But in this way, Garris, who was sitting in the corner for a small meeting, still caught the sound, patted the shoulders of the photographer and lighting engineer, and was ready to start shooting again - this is the first time "Rogue One" starts. It's just a scene, and the difficulties we face at this time have already exceeded expectations..
According to superstition, this is not a good sign..
However, Garris has a slightly different idea: Instead of discovering the problem halfway through filming, it is better to find the problem before starting. From an overall perspective, this is a good thing; especially regarding the coordination between the actor's performance and the director's overall situation , this is a crucial link for the quality of the finished film. Garris is very happy to be able to identify problems now and then proactively start looking for solutions..
In his opinion, this is a good thing.
Standing next to the monitor, Garris cast a questioning look at Renly. After getting a positive response from Renly, he walked behind the monitor with great energy..
Quietly - or subtly, people have become accustomed to ignoring Renly's age and trusting Renly's professionalism for granted. This seems to have become a consensus; even if Felicity is next to her, even if Ann Gus and May-Bell were also veterans of the industry for many years, but Renly still easily won their trust..
This subtle change seems to have become a matter of course.
Afterwards, after confirming that all aspects of the crew were ready, Garris announced the start of filming again, and this time, they started filming from scratch..
As a director, Garris can clearly detect that the chemical reaction of the entire overall picture is different..
Angus's performance was mixed with a little sarcasm, relaxed shoulders and light tone. These small and detailed changes, however, added a little interest invisibly, which not only increased the entertainment, but also allowed the audience to start. Thinking: What is the Resistance's attitude towards Jyn Erso?？
May Bell's performance was calmer and more grand, showing the demeanor of the leader of the resistance. As a calming needle, he kept the atmosphere in the entire conference room cold and serious, and controlled the core atmosphere of the plot - in the mid-shot composition, The leader's style can cover the whole situation.
This is the complete feeling of the picture.
Of course, the most important thing is Felicity, who is the center of the whole scene..
Vigilant. Nervous. Reserved. Tenacious. Alert..
Just by sitting upright and quietly looking at the audience from the corner of her eyes, Felicity successfully presented the character's state in a limited space with a few strokes - more emotions were conveyed through lines; but It is only on the surface now and cannot go further because the pain points of "Jean Erso" have not been touched yet. The real confrontation still needs to wait for the appearance of "Captain Cassian Andor".
However, for now, the performance of just forty-five seconds has balanced the entire scene, and the tension of the confrontation has slowly begun to spread. The overall quality has been substantially improved, let alone Garris. Even the on-site staff are beginning to pay attention..
From acting to lighting to camera scheduling, the first scene finally had the look of a movie.
Then, the highlight comes.
When Captain Cassian Andor appeared on the stage, all eyes could not help but fall on Renly - because everyone was curious about whether Renly, who was rumored to have "unparalleled acting skills", was actually three-headed and six-armed? The performance just now was never able to fit on track, but the adjustment was completed in a short period of time. What role did Renly play? More importantly, what about Renly's own performance? Can it bring surprises?？
The answer is obviously yes, Renly seems to be born for the camera！
