224 Sudden changes
“you mean……”
Renly looked at Jennifer's brighter and brighter eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Even though she didn't say anything, the twinkling light in her eyes connected with Renly's thoughts. He nodded and expressed his affirmation. "Yeah, why can't we take the conversation out of the equation?？”
Drake choked without taking a breath, "Ahem." He choked on his own breath, "You mean, there is no dialogue at all in this section? Is this a silent movie?" This is really too bold. , too ridiculous.
“Of course not." Renly laughed dumbly, "But let's change the way, one person speaks and the other listens." Renly organized his thoughts, "For example, when Jacob was talking, Anna Just stand by and watch quietly, listen attentively; and vice versa. In this way, we can reduce the number of conversations and shift the focus of the script from the 'Before Sunrise' style chatterbox to the atmosphere between the two people. field fusion.”
Drake couldn't help but fell into deep thought and seriously thought about the feasibility of this approach..
Jennifer also nodded in agreement. As soon as she said it, she realized that she might be too loud. She bit her lower lip and held back her words. After adjusting, she said, "Originally, 'Love is crazy.' Just like 'Before Sunrise', I think this movie may be more similar to 'Blue Valentine', it's a complete exchange of eyes and emotions..”
“Have you seen 'Blue Valentine'? "Renly showed an unexpected look. Currently, this movie has only been shown in Toronto and Telluride, and Renly went to both places, but did not meet Jennifer..
“I saw it in New York." Jennifer immediately understood what Renly meant. After all, there has been a lot of news about "Buried Alive" in the past half month. "The movie has been screened in New York. Getting ready to hit the New York Film Festival next week.”
Renly showed an expression of sudden realization. Drake, who had been left aside, didn't realize it. After reacting, he said directly, "You mean, abandon those feelings of tribute, unify the style of the entire movie, and then try as much as possible Hiding the subtle emotions in the performance？”
The reason why Drake never forgets "Before Sunrise" is actually to pay tribute and express his love for the movie. However, the script of "Crazy Love" as a whole is not suitable for tribute. Now let's put this part Eliminating it would make the movie more complete..
What's more, the reason why Drake has been delaying filming until now is to find suitable actors. Not only their understanding of the characters, but also their interpretation of the performances can support the ideological core of the entire movie. , the two actors Felicity and Renly were the results of his hard search, and he had no reason not to believe them..
“Yes, that's what I mean." From Drake to Jennifer, and then from Jennifer to Drake, the change of topic was so smooth and without any sense of disobedience that Jennifer, who was standing next to her, lowered her head and laughed. Renly continued, "In addition, we can actually make a slight modification. The time Jacob and Anna return to the apartment is not after dinner, but later, for example... eleven o'clock. Then, Anna's roommate was already asleep, so they had to be gentle and keep their voices down.”
“Snap! "Drake clapped his hands heavily, his excitement was palpable, but before he could speak, he hurt himself and said with a grin, "Okay! This is a good idea！”
If it was late at night, their voices would have been lowered, and their communication could not have been a tedious conversation; unlike those whose first dates ended with /***, they did not get into bed on the first night , it was also because of the exchange of ideas between the two people that they became soul mates, which made their subsequent love even more passionate and intense..
Derek's whole train of thought was connected, and he couldn't restrain his excitement. He was pacing back and forth, mumbling some vague words. Jennifer glanced at Renly, raised her chin, and signaled He touched Drake and said softly, "Did you break his spring?" as if Drake was a broken toy..
Renly pursed his lips and shrugged, "How about a pat? Generally speaking, a pat will always make things better..”
Derek still didn't feel anything after being teased. After spinning around for several times, he suddenly stopped and said, "But Ben isn't here, what should I do with the lines?"？”
Ben-York-Jones, Drake's friend and another screenwriter of "Crazy Love". Generally speaking, the script of a movie is also co-written by several screenwriters. One screenwriter writes the story clues, one screenwriter writes the lines, and one screenwriter is responsible for revising the character relationships and character details..
“That's it for "Crazy in Love". Drake and Ben collaborated. Drake was responsible for the story outline and Ben was responsible for filling in the lines..
Renly spread his hands. Faced with this problem, he was helpless. Drake thought about it seriously and said hesitantly, "Renly, otherwise, you and Felicity...eh? Felicity, Felicity ?" Derek called Felicity over..
Felicity was originally looking at the furnishings in Anna's room, and then looking for resonance between herself and the environment. When she heard the call, she quickly ran out, "What's wrong?？”
“You and Renly will study the lines of the script carefully, and then discard the script based on your own understanding. We will shoot this scene exactly according to your two ideas and let you play freely." Drake's words were meaningless. , which made Felicity look puzzled, but he didn't explain further, walked quickly towards the room, and explained the shooting for a while..
Felicity looked at Renly with a question mark on her face. Renly then summarized his concerns and solutions. Felicity bit her lower lip gently and nodded thoughtfully, "Then, let's Read the script twice now, what do you think?？”
A clear and gentle tone, but with a hint of tenacity. In just a few seconds, not only did he understand the whole ins and outs, but he also completed the understanding and made a quick judgment. This small detail can be seen , Felicity has her own understanding of performance.
“Of course." Renly nodded, then stood beside Felicity, trying to get out of the way to avoid getting in the way, and read the script in a low voice..
The original script had a lot of lines, nearly four pages, in which the two people exchanged their views on art, movies, music, fashion, social focus, and finally talked about Nietzsche. You come and I go. The exchange of information between the lines presents the tip of the iceberg of the world view of two people, which is undoubtedly crucial for actors to construct their characters..
Now, even though these lines have to be discarded, their value to Felicity and Renly is immeasurable..
“So, have you ever taken the initiative to confess to a boy before? "Renly put down the script and looked at Felicity with a smile..
Felicity was still holding the script in her hand, her eyes appeared from behind the script, and she was stunned. Suddenly, her smile bloomed, "Actually, yes, I took the initiative to confess; but the other party regarded me as a madman..”
This immediately reminded Renly of the details in the script of "Crazy in Love". In Anna's love letter to Jacob, she made a note at the end, "I am not crazy." Therefore, Felicity's seemingly true and false words , it’s really hard to figure out whether it’s Felicity’s own experience or Anna’s.
“What about you? I believe you are not unfamiliar with it at all, right? A girl confesses to you? "Felicity's teeth gently bit the inside of her lower lip. The soft lips were glowing with a light pink color, and there was a cunning light in her eyes. It was different from Jennifer's bold, careful and straight-forward attitude. , Felicity is just like a Persian cat, with a naughty nature hidden in her laziness..
Renly pursed his lips slightly, "I don't know, it has become popular in Oxford to confess directly and boldly.？”
Felicity did not refute such an unexpected answer, but showed a look of surprise, her big watery eyes widened, unable to hide her surprise, "How did you know that I graduated from Oxford University? Are you too？”
Renly could tell too much information just from Felicity's accent. Not only did he know that Felicity was from Oxford University, but he also knew that she was from a commoner background and got into Oxford through her own efforts. For For British aristocrats, relying on accent can tell a person's financial background, or even the area of London they come from. This is no joke..
Renly showed a shallow smile and did not respond to Felicity's question. Instead, he continued, "What I'm more curious about is, why do people who graduated from Oxford University become actors?" Generally speaking, people who graduated from Oxford University Those who graduate from the University of Cambridge are more likely to engage in politics, business, or art, literature, or research..
“Kate-Besale (Kate-Besale) is my schoolmate." Felicity finally showed her edge at this moment, and her back-and-forth arguments and confrontations did not fall behind at all. After getting along today, she He has always appeared low-key and restrained, seeming to have kept his personality well hidden, until now..
Renly's smile became even brighter, "You mean, Beckinsale is your actor template.？”
Kate Beckinsale also graduated from Oxford University. She is a beautiful sight in Hollywood, a representative of the British rose, but also a typical representative of the vase. Even though she starred in the "Underworld" series and transformed into an action actress, she The appearance is still the focus of people's attention.
Felicity couldn't help but choked. Of course she didn't want to be a vase. She rolled her eyes and continued, "You mean, you don't like Beckinsale?" As she said this, she looked quietly out of the corner of her eye. He looked Renly up and down, obviously questioning Renly's status as a "man"..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Felicity intently. The information revealed in those eyes seemed to say: I prefer people like you..
At first, Felicity held up her chest and looked at Renly, but gradually, she was defeated by Renly's burning eyes. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and the feeling in her chest My heart started to pound violently.
