Renly is back.
In fact, this description is not quite accurate, because Renly has never left, so naturally there is no talk of coming back; at the same time, Renly's condition has not recovered 100%, and the excitement and expectation like the fluttering wings of a butterfly have been rekindled, but the state and rhythm It still takes time to adjust, and there’s no real return now..
But... the way of expressing it is not important. What is really important is that Renly has indeed returned to the right track. Renly, who was crazy about acting, has returned to the path of an actor again. After more than half a year of ups and downs, Renly has finally returned to the right track. After all, Li still sticks to the purest and simplest version of himself..
“The filming of the final highlight of the last episode of "Mindhunter" has been completed, but the filming of the series is still not over, and the daily work is proceeding step by step.
The remaining scenes for the crew were relatively easy to shoot, and the atmosphere on the set was much more relaxed and comfortable. However, Renly spent more and more time reading scripts..
Normally, when having fun, Renly is also very involved, and his iconic pranks reappear again; but when he is relaxing, the time for performances becomes more and more devoted. To others, this is work, but to Renly , but it was enjoyment, he was completely immersed in the world of the script.
Cameron is always walking around Renly, like a little tail. The entire crew calls him "Renly's little follower", but Cameron doesn't care at all, and instead enjoys it more and more. , whenever an opportunity arose, he would sneak up and chat with Renly..
In fact, Cameron knows that he can only be a "feature actor" because his body shape and height are too conspicuous, and it is unimaginably difficult to lose weight. This also means that his prospects in Hollywood are relatively narrow, and he is willing to find roles for him. They are all relatively fixed, and it is difficult to open up a vast sky..
But Cameron doesn't mind. He is happy to be an unknown little actor and just concentrates on his role performance. Of course, making a living is not an easy task, but the salary of "Mind Hunter" It is enough for him to live in Los Angeles for two to three years - a frugal and low-key life. This is enough. Cameron can wholeheartedly seek a role that suits him and immerse himself in it..
Just like Don Quixote.
“……Ha, this is a question with no right answer.”
When Cameron asked what Renly was reading as he read the script over and over again, Renly burst out laughing..
After pondering for a moment, Renly replied seriously, "There are mainly two points. This is my personal habit. First, I try to read emotions. In the world of performance, the lives and stories of the characters are often what we know. Inaccessible, like Holden, I can't talk to a serial killer, and you can't get blood on your hands; but the emotions are common, and I hope to be able to read the characters' emotions..”
Cameron chewed carefully.
“Many times, our emotions are not single, joy or sadness. We are not children. Just like the Pixar animation "Inside Out" said, it is mixed joy and sorrow. This is growing up, and in the real real world, our emotions are more Complex and cannot be simply generalized.”
Renly continued, which made Cameron slightly raise his chin, "You mean, just like Holden, he is afraid of potential death threats, but at the same time he can't resist the kind of love for Edmund. Yearning, and then he went one step further and began to fear the yearning deep in his heart.”
This is the level of emotion.
Renly's performance can always present the character's psychology delicately and richly, permeating it layer by layer, allowing the audience to savor different feelings - obviously, reading the script and reading the lines are the basis, or maybe Say, starting point, and then build the whole world.
“Correct." Renly showed a smile, "Second, I tried to read the story. In fact, I have many similarities with Holden. He is also trying to read the stories of Edmund and other serial killers. The behavior of each of us , attitudes, emotions, all can be traced back to their origins. Those experiences will leave traces on us more or less, and for actors, they need to understand these traces.”
“psychology? "Cameron immediately took notes under his notebook..
This made Renly couldn't help laughing, "This is not an acting class." But Cameron still seriously marked "Psychology" on the notebook, "If you want, you can indeed read some psychology. Books, but this is not necessary. After all, there is a difference between actors and Holden..”
“For actors, the most important thing is to figure out and understand. We need to understand the character. This is the core issue. As for whether it is through psychology, personal experience, or field investigation, it is up to the actor himself to decide." As he spoke, Renly could see that Cameron had written down key words such as "personal experience" and "field investigation" again. A smile could not help but flow from his eyes. "Everyone has his own method. For The most important thing for an actor is to find his own way of acting based on his own situation. Other opinions are just for reference..”
“……My own way... everything else is just a reference……”
Cameron still wrote down these keywords in neat handwriting, and his meticulous look made Renly couldn't help but chuckle. Cameron pursed his lips slightly shyly, "I...I just……”
I may never find such an opportunity in the future. Listening to the acting director in front of Renly is not so much a record of his acting skills as it is a record of Renly's words..
Cameron tried to explain something, but found that the words were even harder to say..
“It seems that someone is in a good mood today.”
A voice came from directly in front, and Cameron was successfully rescued. When he raised his head, he could see the chubby figure of Andy Rogers staggering over..
Renly frowned slightly and looked at Andy with critical eyes, "Recently, someone has appeared quite frequently..”
Andy was very calm. He still put his hands on his beer belly and patted it gently. "There is no way. The manager has the responsibility, so he has to work harder.".”
Renly didn't respond, but after looking carefully for a moment, he asked curiously, "Have you gained weight again?"？”
Andy didn't speak. He stared at Renly quietly and protested with his eyes..
Cameron, who was sitting next to him, could feel the undercurrent of oppression, and then he stood up slightly cautiously, "I...I need to prepare for the next scene, Renly, I won't disturb you. Rest." After saying that, Cameron lowered his head and left quickly, his bulky body walking like flying..
“Look, you scared the young people." Renly said seriously..
Andy decided to ignore it directly, "I heard that the filming progress is going well recently..”
Renly raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal, because he knew that this was obviously not the main purpose of Andy coming to visit the crew again..
Andy knew that he had been visiting the crew too frequently recently. Obviously, this was not the rhythm that Renly liked. He still preferred to have a quiet and independent environment. However, Andy still went his own way because he could not rest assured that after all, he still had to go his own way. Worried about Renly's condition.
Andy sat down next to Renly and asked, "How are you? Are you ready now?"？”
Renly laughed dumbly, "Mr. Andy Rogers, are you pressuring me to find another job immediately?"？”
Andy patted his belly contentedly and did not deny it - he was indeed putting pressure on Renly, hoping that Renly could get back on track as soon as possible, not because Renly needed to work or because his career needed planning. Just pure hope that Renly can find passion.
He still likes Renly who is desperate for performance. Even in the performance world, Renly may be very fussy or very troublesome, but that kind of Renly is lively and agile, that kind of Renly is True and beautiful, he really missed that picky Renly.
Andy understands that Renly needs some pressure - pressure from works. There can be more attractive and excellent works like "La La Land" to continue to seduce Renly. If it doesn't work once, then twice. If that doesn't work, try three, four, five times, and seduce Renly step by step..
One day, Renly will come back, Andy firmly believes that.
So, Andy appeared again, once again throwing temptation at Renly.
Looking at the old god Andy, the smile in Renly's eyes flickered slightly, "There's no need to worry for the time being. I still hope to slow down..”
Although Renly's positive enthusiasm has now reawakened, he is also looking forward to joining other productions and immersing himself in the world of acting again; but he does not want to act too hastily. After all, his current mentality is different from when he entered the industry. In the future His career as an actor is still very long and anything is possible. He should look forward to more challenges and more possibilities. Slowing down may allow him to see different scenery..
Andy nodded gently, "No rush, of course no rush. We can read the script first and then slowly choose. Even if we make a decision, we may not necessarily start filming right away. Think about 'Jurassic World' and 'Rogue One' No. After the decision was made, I waited for such a long time before going into production..”
“So, you recommend another 'Rogue One' movie? "Renly asked back, immediately choking Andy..
Andy rolled his eyes and complained, "Why, I recommended 'Rogue One' and you really nodded in agreement?" Obviously Renly is not that easy to manipulate, "I mean, you are ready now. , have you read the script again?？”
Renly let out a breath and thought for a moment, but still shook his head, "No, there's no rush. I need to finish the work at hand first, then take some time off, and then slowly start reading the script. Maybe I should go back again. Check out the West End of London. There are many experimental scripts there, which are quite interesting and worth challenging..”
Not seeking fame or fortune, Renly is now able to freely choose any work, literally any work, just like Meryl Streep.
Andy didn't try to persuade him any more, he just turned his head and looked at Renly with bright eyes, "Where's 'Manchester by the Sea'?？”
