2445 tacit understanding
When I entered the house with both feet, the hour hand on the wall had already passed midnight. The full moonlight penetrated the glass window in the corner and poured down, like silver frost, giving the entire space a layer of coldness; but in the corner But the table lamp inside lit up, and the lemon-yellow halo supported a small corner. There was a little warmth in the deserted and empty space, weak but tenacious, stubbornly dispersing the surrounding silver brilliance..
It's Rooney who is studying.
After her backpacking trip in Europe, Rooney also returned to New York, but she still lived in her apartment and only came to Renly's place occasionally..
Renly did not make a sound to break the tranquility in the room. Instead, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat cross-legged in front of the window, letting his body muscles slowly relax and quietly watching the lights of thousands of houses in front of him, as well as the car lights and lights on the street. The stars in the sky reflect each other, bringing tranquility amidst the noise.
“Need a glass of hot milk? "Rooney noticed Renly's tiredness, put the book in his hand next to him, got up and walked towards the kitchen..
“Hmm." Renly responded in a low voice..
In the distance, Rooney's voice came from the kitchen, "The recording work didn't go well.？”
“…… The recording work went quite smoothly, with some bumps and debates, but overall, it's still on track. To be honest, I actually enjoyed it a bit." Renly's mouth relaxed, "You don't need to think, you just immerse yourself in it, it's like Like drifting, let the melody pull the brain.”
“So, this is also the reason why you have never been too keen on recording studios and stages." Rooney replied loudly. The distance between the kitchen and the indoor space was a bit empty, which made Rooney and Renly seem to be separated by a mountain. It's like shouting, and you can even hear a faint echo, but the distance is not unfamiliar. On the contrary, the conversation and communication between the two people can fill up the entire space, so that the irritability can be calmed down..
Occasionally, you can hear the sound of opening the refrigerator, closing the refrigerator, opening the microwave oven, and closing the microwave oven..
“How about it, are you getting used to it a little now? Reveal more of yourself? " Rooney then asked——
Renly doesn't like to open himself up too much on the stage, which goes against the hereditary noble education, and also goes against Renly's protection of personal privacy..
“Well. Kind of." Renly hesitated, "But I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. You know, in mother's words, I'm being assimilated into Hollywood; but in Matthew's words, it's me. It's becoming real. I'm not sure either, this feeling is too unfamiliar.”
“I think it's a good thing." Rooney replied. Even without looking back, you could feel the curve of her mouth rising. "It's not because of showing yourself, but because it triggered your thinking, which means you are growing up. It is changing, which also means that life can still move you. This is real, rather than saying that we live like zombies, with no expectations and no fear, which would be terrible..”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, but this was another interpretation - deep down, he could also understand that during the long period of fatigue, his thoughts began to become slack and lazy, and at the same time he became Narrow, and then those things that were once understood are hidden.
At this time, hearing Rooney's explanation, my mood couldn't help but lift a little..
“David Fincher came to the studio today." Renly said proactively..
“I know, after you finished talking, David called me." Rooney came over with two glasses of milk on a tray, then sat down cross-legged next to Renly, with a bright light in her eyes, and she carried it herself I drank a glass of milk, warmed my palms, and then looked straight ahead, admiring the most beautiful night view in the world. My words were still a little relaxed and cheerful, "Aren't you curious about what he said?？”
“No, I'm not curious. I can guess that not all of them are good words." Renly turned to look at Rooney's side face, and then also picked up a glass of milk. "When we talk face to face, the atmosphere is not very good. Okay, I accidentally startled passers-by, and the scene got a little out of control for a while..”
Listening to Renly's serious description, Rooney laughed, "Fortunately, you are a gentleman, otherwise David would be in danger..”
Later, Rooney continued, "He said you are going to read the script? You can hear that he is very happy..”
“But I'm not sure if I'm doing it right." Renly held the milk in his hands, feeling the gentle warmth to stretch his muscles..
“How to say? " Rooney asked.
Renly thought about it seriously, "Treat the script and the characters with an uncertain attitude. You know, every character has a real existence in the story. Whether the actors interpret it seriously or not, it will ultimately be shown on the screen." , actors need to give enough respect to the role.”
“But I'm in a constant state of neglect right now, and if I can't put my heart and soul into a character, then it's disrespecting the character and the script. I don't think that's fair. Maybe, I should give the script to other actors and they will I value and cherish this role more than I do..”
Although Renly is now at a low point, his due respect and dedication have not changed. He hopes that he can remain professional enough..
Rooney nodded slightly and thought carefully, "Perhaps, you should look at it from a different perspective: your fear, your worry, including your withdrawal and fatigue, just show that you care, otherwise, you can completely If you take over a role at random, or directly agree to David, even if the performance quality is not perfect, no one will blame you. After all, you have not encountered any bottlenecks so far, and many people are rolling their eyes..”
That joking tone made Renly chuckle..
“Then, you can remain in this state, really read the script, look at the character, see if you can relate and resonate, and then make a decision. You should know that the choice and decision-making power are always in your hands, no one else can force you to do anything.”
Rooney is not sure whether her interpretation is correct - after all, the level and depth of the problems Renly faces are on another level; moreover, the problems of artistic creation are more often a contest between oneself and oneself. No one else can help.
But Rooney still expressed her views and expressed support.
Renly held the milk glass and was silent for a moment, "Do you also think this script is suitable for me?？”
This is a strange question. Even when facing Andy, Renly rarely asks others for their opinions on the script, but now is a special period..
Rooney did not answer directly, "Do you remember when you returned to London's West End? Leave the movie for a while, calm down, polish yourself, and find your own rhythm again. I think the same is true for TV dramas. Different forms of presentation have put forward new ideas for performance. different requirements.”
“TV series need to gradually show the changes and growth of the characters over a relatively long period of time, and then complement the core of the story. Of course, what we are talking about here is a limited series. If it is a longevity of five and ten seasons, drama, then that’s another story..”
Rooney's tone always remained relaxed, and a touch of warmth softened the atmosphere in the room..
“Remember your performance in 'The Pacific'? Eugene's growth and transformation are absolutely eye-catching and have made countless people fall in love with this character; and this project also gives you the opportunity to slowly and carefully figure out the character, gradually making the character full and rich. stand up.”
The words ended here, and then Rooney fell silent, leaving enough space for Renly to think..
In fact, Rooney and David expressed similar opinions：
In "Mindhunter", Renly was able to go back to his basics and start from scratch, like a baby taking steps, caressing the character bit by bit, standing in front of the camera in the most natural and pure state, and then slowly Get into the role and reawaken your inner passion and enthusiasm.
Renly's worry is that he can't find his form, and instead loses the purity and sincerity of the character..
But Rooney's point of view fits Renly's weakness: returning to the original intention.
When he returned to London's West End, he concentrated on breaking the basic skills of acting, and then found the motivation to move forward again. But in the blink of an eye, four years had passed, and the traces of those time and years left on him had also become vicissitudes. He really The return that needs to be washed away.
Maybe, TV series is indeed the right choice.
“Do you know what the first thing I did when I entered the Pacific War was? "The memory was awakened again, and the corners of Renly's mouth relaxed..
“Know Rami? " Rooney turned to look at Renly, but did not ask the reason or what Renly thought. She just followed Renly's topic - she also knew Rami Malek, although not that familiar..
Renly chuckled, "No, it's not. The first thing we did was to receive our military ranks and uniforms, and then call each other according to the characters in the play; at that time, Lamy and I had already met during the audition process , so we naturally gathered together. In such a huge crew, it is always good to meet a familiar face. Rami had already appeared in many dramas and movies at that time, but his personality was never public. So it didn’t create any ripples among the crew..”
Then, Renly told the stories about the first day on the set, the conflicts with his fellow actors, the training after changing boots, and the collective body posture after the end.……
As he spoke, Renly's expression brightened, and he even began to make and use gestures to match his story, exuding joy all over his body..
Those memories that I thought were gradually fading have actually never disappeared. Like the vast stars in the sky, they are blooming with their own brilliance silently, and then guide Renly to find the starting point of everything again, and that green and hazy, passionate and passionate heart. Exciting original intention.
Rooney listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, or expressing her own opinions, and naturally laughed..
The two of them just sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. If they were like children, they would talk all night long..
