2479 endure the pain again
“‘Manchester by the Sea'？”
Andy still had the same Maitreya smile as before, with a scheming light shining deep in his eyes. He seemed to have understood that Renly could not refuse this work.——
He knew exactly what Renly liked.
Renly opened his mouth, words of rejection came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out after all. His throat was a little clogged, and then you could see Andy's contented smile, the look of him sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, which combined the previous situation and The positions were reversed, and Andy was enjoying it.
“Sorry, I still have to say no." Renly's words finally came out..
Andy raised his eyebrows slightly, unavoidably a little surprised. He looked at Renly seriously and realized that Renly was not joking, so he withdrew his eyes and gently nodded to show his understanding, "Okay, I know. Got it.”
It’s not about playing hard to get, but it’s reasonable..
Andy didn't expect Renly to fully recover after one or two attempts. If things were that simple, it wouldn't be a low point, and artistic creation wouldn't be so difficult and painful. Although Andy still inevitably feels frustrated, but Renly's rejection is not an unacceptable outcome.
Andy's crispness made Renly feel a little weird.——
The main reason is that Renly is indeed back on track. The expectations and desires deep in his heart will inevitably reawaken. When he encounters his favorite works, he can feel the heartbeat and excitement again, not to mention "Manchester by the Sea" It’s a project I wanted to take on four years ago.
“If you were to play Lee Chandler yourself, how would you interpret it?？”
“How to present emotions in a life-like way and at the same time present the character's dilemma to the point. Emotional levels are also indispensable.？”
“Casey Affleck undoubtedly gave a wonderful performance, so what else can he give to the role?？”
“How should Lee Chandler's emotional state be presented lightly? And what does his relationship with his nephew Patrick mean?？”
“When Casey Affleck's performance in the previous life has reached its peak, how should I get rid of the stereotype and give the character more characteristics?？”
“What is the difference between this work and 'Detachment'? Explain how the interpretation process should deepen the character？”
and so on.
Countless thoughts are surging in my mind, countless speculations and expectations are stirring in my blood, and the eagerness to try seems to be breaking free from the constraints and sprouting..
If turning down "La La Land" is a 9 out of 10, turning down "Manchester by the Sea" is a 100 out of 10 for an actor, especially someone who is exploring For Renly, whose acting skills are at a new level, the level of difficulty is definitely off the charts..
In the past, Renly would have just refused - of course, it was absolutely impossible for Renly to refuse in the past. He would not refuse "La La Land" or "Manchester by the Sea"; but now , but Renly's willpower began to waver, torturing himself like an ascetic..
This puts Renly into a passive position.
“Andy, you're getting back at me, right? "Renly seemed to be able to detect the pride and excitement in Andy's smile, enjoying such a moment..
Andy shook his head innocently, "How is it possible? The choice is always in your hands, you know this." Then, Andy patted his belly, "I just think that if you really like it, , you can definitely nod and agree, there is no need to embarrass yourself.”
“Huh..." Renly exhaled a long breath, his expression a little difficult..
This should be Andy's first time seeing Renly like this since he met Renly. This made him a little funny, but mostly he enjoyed it..
Renly thought about it seriously, "Although I really, really want to nod, I still have to refuse. Believe me, this is not an easy decision. Please don't continue to seduce me..”
Andy looked at Renly with a smile on his face..
Renly paused and then explained, "I like the work 'Manchester by the Sea' because I look forward to being able to challenge that role and achieve further breakthroughs in performance. I like that role and I hope I can Give the character and the entire story a soul, and really make the audience feel... not just the charm of the character or the power of emotion, but more... and the power of the movie.”
Renly's eyes gradually deepened and he was immersed in his own thoughts, "You know, life is not easy. Everyone has their own troubles and difficulties, so when we watch the movie, everyone is looking for themselves. What we need may be simple happiness like popcorn, or maybe...maybe it reflects a certain fragment of our lives..”
“We cry and laugh while watching the movie because those characters are acting out life, and more because we can see our own shadows in those characters - of course, this may be a novel, a drama, or a TV series, but the movie The biggest charm is... on that big screen, every picture may be a story playing out in your mind, and all the unspeakable and inexpressible heartbreak is hidden in the picture..”
At this point, Renly paused slightly, and then said softly, "Are you willing to fall for it?".”
There was so much love hidden in the simple words that even Andy couldn't help but be moved. He could feel Renly's reluctance..
“Renly." Andy tried to persuade Renly, otherwise, he would just take over "Manchester by the Sea".
However, Renly stopped him in advance, "It is precisely because I like it, and it is precisely because I love it that I hope this movie can present the best appearance. But my current state is not suitable for launching a challenge.".”
“I...uh...I'm looking for a state, but I still need time, I need to clarify my thoughts, I need to sort myself out, I need to digest and digest, and when I'm ready, I will set off again, in the world of performance Explore further, but not now. Now is not the time.”
After recovering from his trough, Renly understood himself better than ever.——
If he takes the risk of starring in "Manchester by the Sea" now, he may not be able to adjust to the best condition. He still needs a little...a little inspiration, just like when he chose "La La Land", he can't be sure of this inspiration. When will it appear? It may appear tomorrow, or it may appear next month..
He cannot be selfish and let the entire crew wait for him. This is true for "La La Land" and "Manchester by the Sea". It is precisely because he likes it that he needs to part ways more..
But he knew he was on the right track.
More importantly, Renly is more determined than ever. He looks forward to becoming a better actor, an excellent actor who can give a living soul to an excellent film like "Manchester by the Sea", and an outstanding actor in the world of acting. A free-flying actor, an actor who lives and dies for performance.
He is more determined than ever.
“So... Andy, I need to say 'no' and refuse this opportunity for the sake of 'Manchester by the Sea' and for a better start for myself." Despite the difficulty, Renly made up his mind and spit out a long sentence. Tone, it is never easy to bear the pain and give up love..
Then, Renly continued, "Please don't make things more difficult, my stomach is burning right now, ah, I think I might lose some flesh.".”
That childish wailing made Andy's eyes full of smiles. Renly like this is really rare..
Originally, Andy wanted to continue teasing Renly. Such an opportunity was rare, but seeing Renly in such a state, Andy did not have the heart to continue. Instead, he comforted him in a deep voice, "As long as you are prepared, everything will be fine." Hollywood is open to you and you have all the possibilities.”
“But none of them are 'Manchester by the Sea'." Renly exhaled a long breath, "Maybe, I should agree to it..”
Andy couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, "Renly, just keep being yourself. If you miss 'Manchester by the Sea', we will also meet 'Amsterdam in the Desert'. You are an excellent actor." , you know what you are doing, and you know what you should do next. Deep down, you know what choice you should make, and you are the one with the right answer..”
“Thank you." Renly gave another unconventional response.：
Thank you Andy for always being considerate and understanding of him.
Andy was not polite and shrugged, "Believe you, this is my job..”
Renly turned his head and looked at Andy with a smile, "Honestly, have you been preparing this sentence for a long time? Just be prepared to throw it out at the right time to create a highlight moment of Chicken Soup for the Soul.？”
“How was it, was it successful? "Andy also laughed..
Renly pursed his lips, but did not answer. He just left Andy with a smile..
After a pause, Renly had returned to his original state when he spoke again, "Amsterdam in the desert? Are you serious?？”
“why not? I think this is great. Isn’t it exotic to be in a red/light district in a desert environment? Andy said seriously.
“Hmm...what about Berlin under the sea? Or is it New York on the top of a mountain? "Renly's wild ideas made Andy chuckle..
“The filming work of the crew of "Mind Hunter" is still going on in an orderly manner, and Renly is still involved in the performance step by step. He is thinking about the role carefully - it is more detailed and three-dimensional than before. He still needs some time to adjust to his performance state. , but this process of baby steps made Renly completely immersed in it, and he was happy every minute.
More importantly, this is a journey that Renly has already walked. Now it is not difficult to walk it again. On the contrary, he can detect more new experiences and insights in the process of exploration, truly turning the performance into a kind of journey. Enjoyment is a state of being able to do whatever you want and at your fingertips.
this is very interesting.
If possible, Renly looks forward to staying on the crew longer. This is also where TV series have an advantage over movies. They have enough time and space for actors to carve out their characters in detail; but unfortunately, even if they are reluctant to give up, " The filming of "Mind Hunter" is also coming to an end, and it was finally completed successfully.
