Boom, boom, boom.
Muffled thunder rolled behind the thick clouds, and the drizzle weaved a smooth and delicate white line under the light gray sky, vaguely outlining the outlines of those ancient buildings, and the looming buildings on the far side of the horizon. The dome should be the Fes Planetarium, because not far away you can capture the lush bright green forest, which is Fairmont Park, the largest urban green space in the world..
A faint earthy smell mixed with a watery smell lingers on the fingertips, and the quiet and refreshing oxygen is slowly surging. The vastness and depth of the world extend infinitely in the sight, and the whole city becomes quiet in the continuous drizzle. , the simplicity and stability of the total silence made my mind settle down..
Philadelphia, a large city with a long history but gradually forgotten, still has the oldest, most colorful and gorgeous history on the East Coast..
When people think of the east coast of North America, they think of New York, Washington, Boston, and even Oakland and Miami in the south. However, few people will specifically mention Philadelphia, the former capital of the United States and the oldest and most populous city in the United States. historic city.
This is the fifth largest city in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; it is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago; it is also the seventh largest economic circle in the United States. In addition, in 2015 At the beginning of the year, it was selected as a United Nations World Heritage City, becoming the first city in the United States to be included in the World Heritage List, once again proving the long history and splendid culture of this land..
However, Philadelphia's special geographical location, with New York to the north and Washington to the south, has caused this city to be gradually "forgotten" by people, and it seems to lack a sense of existence..
Amid the bustle and bustle of the East Coast, the quietness and low-keyness of Philadelphia rarely appear on the front page, but are like treasures quietly waiting to be excavated and discovered..
In order to boost the city's economy and popularity, Pennsylvania has given preferential tax policies, attracting many film crews to come here to shoot, such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Silence of the Lambs", "Avengers", "The Wall" "Flower Girl", "The Fault in Our Stars", "Foxcatcher", "Love and the Elixir", etc., not to mention "Rocky" and "Philadelphia Story" which are completely integrated with the soul of the city. A classic work.
Last year, Sisyphus Pictures' independent production "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" was filmed in Philadelphia; this year, "Mindhunter" also chose the location here.
Like Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and other famous film shooting cities, Atlanta also has complete shooting base facilities. The city hall approved the establishment of a large-scale shooting base. Thanks to Philadelphia's unique historical heritage, it is very suitable for filming in the 1960s. , retro scenes of the 1970s, the filming base has a variety of studios, which can meet the stringent requirements of the crew for those eras.
“The story of "Mind Hunter" takes place in the 1970s. At the same time, Holden and Bill need to travel between different cities in different states. On the one hand, they communicate with the local police and on the other hand, they interview criminals who have committed serial violent incidents. This also makes Philadelphia the best choice.
Of course, there is a small episode here. After Sisyphus Films submitted a filming application to the Philadelphia City Hall, official staff from Pennsylvania and Philadelphia personally received the relevant person in charge of Sisyphus Films and greeted them enthusiastically. Invite them to come to Philadelphia more often——
To put it simply, Philadelphia hopes to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Sisyphus Films, inviting Sisyphus Films to base its filming in Philadelphia. In the future, more films will be filmed in Philadelphia, and they will provide more tax exemptions. and convenience measures related to shooting.
In fact, this is following Atlanta's move.
Under the official guidance of Atlanta City Hall and the state of Georgia, Disney, Universal Pictures, Netflix, etc. have all signed long-term cooperation agreements with Atlanta, including "Avengers 2", "Ant-Man", "Captain America 2", etc. They were all filmed in Atlanta, eventually forming a brand effect, which has had amazing effects on the tourism industry and the tertiary industry. Of course, a large number of film industry-related talents have also poured in, and the number of jobs has also been greatly increased, which is intangible. which also helped the urban economy rise.
Philadelphia, whose economic situation has experienced significant fluctuations in recent years, also hopes to make full use of its existing historical and cultural resources to open up new opportunities..
And Sisyphus Pictures is obviously one worth paying close attention to..
That’s just a digression as to the partnership talks between Philadelphia and Sisyphus Films, at least, “Mindhunter” chose to film in the city.
Compared with Los Angeles, Philadelphia's tranquility and peace are undoubtedly its biggest features. There is no noise and no interference. It even has a sense of déjà vu, allowing the crew to fully concentrate on their daily work, and invisibly become more focused and more focused. Calm, that's a good thing.
At least that's the case for Cameron Brydon and Hannah Gross.
They are actors and fans of Renly.
When they are about to perform in front of their idols, the conflicting feelings of anticipation and fear double the pressure to perform.——
Not only do they need to face their idols, but they also need to face the "greatest" actor in the 21st century, at least "one of the greatest"; at the same time, both of them lack sufficient acting experience and resume. Their lackluster past works make them lack confidence..
They need to be alert and nervous, and the working environment in Philadelphia couldn't be better..
Cameron was quietly admiring the rain in front of him at this time. The fine rain falling from the sky covered his eyes like a dense curtain. The cool and cold oxygen gradually calmed down the anxiety and heat in his mind, and then the whole The only thing left in the world is yourself and your own thoughts.
Cameron could feel Hannah sitting down next to him. He tilted his body slightly in Hannah's direction, "I can never forget the opening of 'Drunken Country Ballad'. He just sat there quietly, penetrating Screen, look at the audience, immerse yourself in your own world, and start singing.”
“He is Renly Hall and LeVeon Davis." Cameron maintained an unhurried tone, rather than sharing it with Hannah, he was talking to himself, "I need Moments like that. You know, 'He's Renly but he's also Holden' moments, and on the one hand I admire his talent, he's the reason I became an actor; on the other hand I look forward to the moment of revelation, and I hope to be able to Feel the excitement of working with him and become a better actor yourself.”
Just like competitive sports.
Great opponents can achieve great games, and similarly, great rivalries can achieve great performances. Cameron chose to become an actor, and his ultimate dream is to look forward to performing opposite Renly; now his dream has come true, Although the timing is a bit too early and he is far from reaching the top level, he still hopes that he can show himself in front of the "master" and usher in the moment when he breaks out of his cocoon and becomes a butterfly..
“Phew, pressure and motivation coexist. I have smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, but my fingers are still trembling. Do you think this is because the tension cannot subside, or is it a side effect of excessive nicotine content? "Cameron said jokingly, and couldn't help but smile..
“I guess it's both." The response "Hannah" came to my ears, but it was not Hannah's voice, but a man's voice with a smooth accent and a soft tone..
Cameron's entire spine stiffened, and goosebumps appeared quietly..
“Many times, people reject nervousness, because nervousness may make the muscles stiff and the brain go blank." "Hannah" still spoke unhurriedly, not very fast, and her tone always seemed to be full of thinking. , every word has weight, "But tension also means concentration and attention. The burst of adrenaline can always keep people excited. We should relax and embrace tension.”
pause for a moment.
“"Hannah" chuckled, "What an oxymoron..”
Cameron stared blankly at Renly, who was sitting next to him. His nervousness was tense, and there was only a ringing in his ears. It seemed that his nerves might break at any time, but he was so nervous that he relaxed. "... Of course. We always need to face our negative emotions. This is the correct way to become an actor..”
Having said this, Cameron seemed to remember something, and he burst into laughter, and couldn't help but laugh out loud..
He thought for a while and tried to tell Renly what he was thinking, but after thinking about it seriously, he chose to close his mouth again. The slightly surging emotions settled down, his tone and speed of speech stabilized again, and then he turned his head slightly and spoke with He looked at Renly from the corner of his eye, "I can't tell you everything, because I'm the one who has the initiative, right?？”
This is Edmund talking.
In the series, Edmond firmly holds the initiative, while Holden is the one who is led by the nose. Edmond gradually opens up a whole new world to Holden; now, Cameron is trying to take over. initiative.
He is unhurried and unhurried, and his voice and intonation have a subtle sense of rhythm. Even under pressure, he still sticks to his own pace without being affected or disturbed at all. Edmond undoubtedly has a unique His own distinctive characteristics, and Cameron is getting into the role.
Although he is still a little green, and the content of his words and his expressions are not completely consistent, at least he did not lose his rhythm during the conversation - and he is still facing Renly, which is already very rare, you can see it , Cameron has a very deep understanding of the character.
Renly did not panic, he pursed his lips and smiled, turned to look at the drizzle in front of him, and then said calmly, "I hope you can tell me everything, this is the purpose of my coming to you; But indeed, the key is in your hand.”
