“nervous？”
“A bit.”
“this is a good thing.”
“I guess so.”
Rooney and Renly are having a conversation, but the difference is that this is the first time Rooney sees Renly showing nervousness before performing..
For Renly, acting seems to have become a habit, a habit rooted in the blood, a habit that comes easily and easily. Like breathing, it is becoming an instinct and a part of daily life. Wandering in the world of performance, seeking Ways to break through barriers, then break, transform, and sublime.
However, now, Renly needs to rediscover the impulse and enthusiasm for performing. That feeling of burnout and alienation is actually very painful, even more painful than imagined. It's like being used to walking, but suddenly one day he has to learn from scratch. , that kind of frustration is enough to directly destroy the idea of standing up again..
As a result, some people chose to give up, and many of them.
Renly wasn't sure if he was willing to give up, but he at least hoped to rest for a while before regrouping and catching up; the emergence of "Mindhunter" broke this pattern, and David Fincher and Rooney Mara's Persuade Renly to change his plans and face the challenge.
Despite this, the pain and suffering will not diminish, but may become more severe due to rushing into battle..
Rooney has been with Renly since she joined the crew of "Mindhunter". She can feel that Renly is gradually relaxing and slowly learning to enjoy the speculation and discussion in daily life; but practice is one thing, actual combat is another. Another thing, the confusion of lack of enthusiasm and direction surged up again..
Then, the tension follows.
Renly realized his own embarrassment and couldn't help but chuckled, "You know, when was the last time I felt nervous and awkward because of a performance?？”
Rooney looked at Renly, without speaking, but quietly waiting for the answer..
“Never." Renly gave an unexpected but reasonable answer..
Rooney chuckled, "Well, you are probably the only one in the entire Hollywood who can be so arrogant but not be able to speak like this in an annoying way..”
Renly laughed aloud himself, "But it's true.”
In the past, the performance was so simple and so beautiful. All those nervous emotions turned into anticipation and excitement. Even when faced with severe challenges, I was still able to move forward at full speed. I really felt nervous, so nervous that I was a little panicked. Today is the first Second-rate.
“Maybe, this is indeed a good thing." Renly's eyes fell on Rooney's eyes, "Start from the beginning, start over, nervousness also means expectation..”
Rooney could catch the faint smile deep in Renly's eyes, with a little ridicule and lightness, which was reflected in her eyes, and she also smiled, "Don't consider the mood of the audience, discuss it in front of me." Starting from scratch', what should I do? Start practicing from the basics?？”
Renly just raised his eyebrows slightly, not denying it - in fact, he was affirming it..
Rooney couldn't help biting her lower lip, widening her eyes to express strong protest to Renly, and then you could see Renly shaking his head deliberately and saying, "You have to live and learn. The reason why you say this is very reasonable..”
“Ha. Ha. Very correct." Rooney laughed dryly twice, complaining with a smile, and then left a polite sentence: "Then I will keep you to continue studying hard." A kind of "female ghost drifting" movement, swaying away, that movement is really hilarious.
There was a thick smile in Renly's eyes, and his nervousness relaxed slightly, but then he returned to his attention and became nervous again.——
He needs to tense up, so that he can fully enter the role, and the lack of concentration is also one of the problems at this stage. Therefore, being nervous is actually conducive to maintaining his focus - "tension in a relaxed state" , seemingly contradictory words are not a joke.
At this time, the entire crew is preparing in an orderly manner to film the first scene of "Mind Hunter" and announce the official start of filming..
Similar to "Pacific War", the first season of "Mindhunter" has a total of ten episodes, but it has multiple directors. David Fincher will direct the first two episodes and the last two episodes, and the middle six episodes will be directed by three directors. Assign tasks.
The reason for this is not complicated.
Public television dramas are often long-form, with 24 episodes per season, and may be filmed for five, ten, or fifteen seasons. Directors cannot be tied to one project for a long time, and the heavy shooting tasks need to be distributed; and , TV series are shot and broadcast simultaneously, and the time is very tight, which also requires the cooperation of multiple directors.
Finally, there is another reason. The real core of long-form dramas is the screenwriter, and the screenwriting team is the most important part; while the director is more like a wage earner, who only needs to do a simple job and does not have much room for development. This is also This may lead to more changes and replacements in the director's position.
Now limited series are beginning to emerge, including cable TV stations and Netflix, which are beginning to follow British TV stations and shorten the length of the entire TV series. A TV series may only have two or three seasons, and then each season will only have six, eight, or ten episodes. set, and then announce the ending.
These dramas still maintain the mode of collaboration between multiple directors. In addition to the above reasons, the most important reason is that the quality requirements of limited series have improved, and the dramas also need to have a film quality - shot scheduling, picture composition, post-editing, etc. , placing higher demands on directors.
This also means that directing is no longer a simple job. They also need to spend time and energy conceiving the entire series starting from the composition of the picture..
So, a movie only lasts two hours; a drama series may last six to eight hours, and the second and third seasons need to be considered. The director's energy consumption is very amazing. Division of labor and cooperation is the right choice; of course, unifying the style has become another problem.
In recent years, TV series directed by big-name directors have become popular, with Martin Scorsese directing "Boardwalk Empire", David Fincher directing "House of Cards", the Coen brothers directing "Fargo", Quentin Tarantino Directing "CSI: Las Vegas"... blah blah blah.
But the number of episodes they direct is usually about one to two episodes, which is not many..
In turn, directors with TV backgrounds such as the Russo Brothers and JJ Abrams have also won the opportunity to direct commercial blockbusters. As for the difference between TV directors and film directors, this is another matter, and it is still debated in Hollywood. focus.
At this time, David Fincher was preparing to direct the first episode of "Mindhunter".
This is no stranger to David. Previously, in "House of Cards", he collaborated with outstanding film actors such as Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright; not to mention that David himself is shooting music. He came from video tapes - although TV series and movies are different artistic carriers, David's thinking is very clear and he knows exactly what he should do..
“Renly？”
David walked quickly towards Renly, with a questioning look in his eyes, trying to confirm Renly's status..
If it were normal times, David knew that there was no need to worry about these scenes at all. He only needed to concentrate on completing his directing work; but these were extraordinary times, and even if Renly had no problem coping with this scene, David would not We still need to go ahead and confirm Renly's status in person..
David understands the predicament of the trough period. Many things do not depend on will. The emotion that cannot be controlled by reason can have an impact at all times. But as long as he can break through, the joy and happiness of breaking out of the water will be success. Times twice as much, he had experienced it twice himself, and he hoped that Renly could persevere now..
Renly didn't answer, he just let out a long breath, took a deep breath, and then nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready..
But David did not turn around and leave, but stood there, still looking at Renly with concern.——
The choice of the first scene was the result of a discussion between David and Renly..
In fact, during the filming process of TV series, many scenes are relatively simple, because its capacity is larger than that of movies. On the one hand, there is no need to carefully plan every scene like in movies, hoping to convey accurate information; on the other hand, it needs to be based on The rhythm of the TV series is filled with more content, including in-depth descriptions of the main plot and branch plots. This also makes many scenes less detailed and the performance difficulty is relatively low..
If he wanted to, David could just pick a back or profile as the first scene, and then pass it smoothly, making a good start for the TV series..
However, after discussion, Renly and David chose a relatively lengthy and somewhat challenging scene as the unveiling of the entire TV series..
David still hopes to confirm with Renly again. If Renly feels bad, they can adjust it at any time..
Renly quickly caught the meaning from David's eyes. He raised his head and glanced at David, then quickly lowered his head, and then nodded lightly, "...Very good. I'm fine. Everything is fine. Don't worry. Let's start now. I'm ready.”
Her soft tone is a little reserved, and her clear articulation is slightly stiff. Even though she speaks too fast, she can still accurately capture every syllable..
David knew without a word that Renly was ready..
So, David didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and raised an "OK" gesture to indicate that the crew could start operations. Then he walked quickly towards the monitor. From the corner of his vision, he could see a slightly nervous mood. Rooney, and Cameron and Hannah, who are full of expectations and can’t take their eyes away..
David nodded towards Rooney, which made Rooney exhale; then David stood behind the monitor and made a ready gesture to the recorder..
The recorder came to the camera with the slate. There was silence in the entire classroom. All the actors and staff couldn't help but hold their breath. The air condensed unconsciously, and all eyes fell on the recorder.：
“‘Mindhunter', Season 1 Episode 1, Scene 36, First Shot, Filming Begins！”
