460 Breakthrough opportunity
It's still bitterly cold in Seattle in early March. Especially in the dead of night, the wind is gusting and bitingly cold. Even if you just stand outside for a short while, you can really feel your blood starting to cool down. It's only eleven o'clock at this time. The streets are already deserted. People either stay in bars or at home. No one wants to go out and party on an early spring night when it is warm but still cold..
However, at this time, the entire crew of "Fighting Cancer" was standing outdoors, bustling and scattered in different locations on the street, shivering in the cold wind. Everyone was chatting quietly, and from time to time, the sight of He threw it in the same direction, looking at the situation there with his peripheral vision. After finding that there was still no change, he stopped talking but had no choice. In the end, he could only sigh deeply, retract his eyes, rub his arms, and jump with his hands. Feet, I continued chatting with my friends, trying to keep them warm..
Trevor-Mey breathed into the palm of his hand, and then rubbed it vigorously, but the stiff muscles were still cold, and the cold air like cow hair penetrated into the body along the pores, wrapping around his body. In the blood, a little friction will not help at all.
“No, we can't wait any longer." Travel shook his head and said depressedly, "I have to remind Renly that we can't delay it any longer. Otherwise, when he enters the performance state, everyone will probably It's going to be freezing.”
“Traveler," Jonathan Levine shouted..
Travell is the stage manager, responsible for all the scheduling and chores of the crew. He is very energetic and bold, and handles things neatly and without any sloppiness. This kind of acting style is not matched by Renly, who is slow, dedicated, and unhurried. An actor who is not slow is always prone to sparks from friction.
“I know, I know, we should believe Renly." Travel rolled his eyes directly, his attitude couldn't be more obvious. He was already tired of this set of rhetoric, "But we have been waiting here for thirty minutes. Jesus-hell-Christ, a full thirty minutes. Who knows if Oscar’s recent trivial matters distracted him. If he is not in the right state, do we have to spend an entire night here?？”
“Yes." Seth Rogen gave an understated answer. It was simple and clear. There was no long explanation or any attitude of arguing with reason. He came to a firm conclusion..
Traveler choked for a moment, glanced at Seth, and then at Jonathan. He understood immediately and shut his mouth obediently, without further argument. However, the twinkling eyes revealed his innermost feelings. Deeply disapproving true thoughts.
It’s not just Travell, but the entire crew’s atmosphere is like this..
Before that, Renly's performance really impressed everyone and made people truly feel the power of acting; but after the Oscars, the news about Renly almost disappeared. From being in the limelight to falling into the bottom, such a huge gap, Even onlookers can't help but sigh, sighing that "Hollywood is really changing with each passing day", not to mention the person involved himself.？
It just so happened that there were some problems during the filming in the past few days. Renly seemed to have encountered some bottlenecks. It was not that there was a problem with the filming, but that Renly had to spend more time figuring out, settling, and thinking between filming..
In the past, Renly might only need ten to fifteen minutes of preparation time, but now he needs double or even triple it. Of course, after filming, Renly's performance is still wonderful and he can always give an outstanding performance. This is exactly Because of this, the filming progress was slightly slower, but it was still within the scope of the plan..
The entire crew was discussing in a lively manner. Although they felt sorry for Renly, they also felt that it was natural. After all, "He is only twenty-one years old and has only been in Hollywood for a long time. This is only his fourth film." .Those looks of pity, sympathy, understanding, and complaint are all gone..
This is true even within the crew of "Fighting Cancer". You can imagine the mainstream mentality in Hollywood at this time..
There was no hesitation in Seth's answer just now, but deep down he was also worried. Renly was really too young. At twenty-one, he was at the age where he was impulsive and impetuous. His emotions and mentality were easily affected by the outside world. Fluctuations in status are inevitable. What's more, even Seth felt upset about the Oscar incident. He also took it for granted that Renly would be affected..
Although Seth is also an actor, he has no understanding of Renly's performance method, rhythm, content, etc., and naturally does not understand Renly's current state. What he saw, like other crew members, is that he is in a state of Renly struggling.
However, what makes him different from others is that he knows that he should believe in Renly. At this moment, what Renly needs most is time and space. In terms of acting, he can't help. At least, he can act as a producer. With his identity, he protects Renly. This is the only thing he can do..
Turning his head, Seth met Jonathan's gaze. A trace of worry flashed in both of their eyes - today is too abnormal. As Travel said, they had been standing here for more than half an hour late at night..
However, both of them were helpless, except to wait. Both of them turned their heads, and their eyes fell on Renly again. Renly was attentive and unobtrusive..
Renly was completely unaware of the gazes around him. He was groping for the details of his performance..
Since the difference between method and experience performances emerged in his mind, before each scene, he would carefully consider which ones were felt by both Chu Jiashu and Adam, and which ones were felt by Chu Jiashu and not by Chu Jiashu. What Adam felt, what Chu Jiashu could not feel, which ones were real emotions, and which ones were his own virtual substituted emotions..
this is a very interesting thing.
When I was studying acting at the academy, I was able to capture the delicate changes in emotions and then present them with subtle facial expressions, as well as with my own style and form. This is a basic skill..
It’s the same sadness. It may be the sadness of losing a beloved father, or it may be the sadness of losing an estranged father. It may be the sadness of a five-year-old child who has his toys taken away, or it may be the sadness of a sixteen-year-old boy who loses a game. …The intensity, manner, details, degree, etc. of these emotions are all different..
Now Renly is distinguishing the different ways in which the same emotion appears in Chu Jiashu and Adam. This is like using the basic skills of expressionism to further understand the difference between method and experience. These are three different performance methods. , I can’t say that they are completely different, but they are also very different, but they are essentially performances. Their similarities and differences gave Renly a brand new experience..
Of course, Renly is not even a beginner now, he has just captured some corners. Even so, he still benefited a lot..
For laymen, Renly's exploration is actually meaningless, because the performance presented on the big screen cannot see a huge difference, and may often just be a difference in the depth of the eyes; whether it is a method school or an experience school, For the audience, the director, and the screenwriter, it’s actually the same thing. What’s more, “Fighting Cancer” is a comedy movie—a comedy that doesn’t pay much attention to acting skills..
Even fellow actors may not be able to distinguish the impact of these detailed differences..
But for professionals and professional actors, the real significance of such discussion and inspection lies not in the details of the performance, but in the rhythm of the entire performance, the aura of the performance, the texture of the performance, the delicateness of the emotions, There is a difference in depth and richness.
Just like top actors such as Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis. If you put their portfolios together and browse them in one go, you will find that their performances have similar traces, especially Some subconscious expression habits are the imprints left by a person over the years and cannot be erased even by performing..
However, the characters they dedicated gave the audience completely different feelings. I can’t tell you why, nor the mode and trajectory of the performance, but you can clearly distinguish the characters..
This is what performance is about.
In other words, Renly is exploring the connotation of his own performance. Whether it is "buried alive" or "crazy in love", in fact, Renly is more using one method to perform. There is still a long way to go before he can form his own style. There is a way to go. He has been switching between different performance methods, exploring his own understanding, and then forming his own characteristics and edges, injecting soul into the performance. But he did not expect that the breakthrough would come so quickly and unexpectedly..
Who would have thought that a movie called "Fighting Cancer" would bring such great gains?？
Strictly speaking, the work "Me Fighting Cancer" itself is not so heavy. What is clever is that the characters in this work fit Renly's own experience and awakened Renly's own resonance, invisibly. , this creates a golden opportunity.
So people always say that opportunities should not be missed, and they will never come back. For everyone, the opportunities that belong to him are different. Your arsenic is my honey, this is the truth, maybe for others , "I Fight Cancer" is just a light comedy, but for Renly, it is a rare moment to break the bottleneck..
He doesn't want to miss it, and he won't miss it.
This is why Renly spent more time speculating on the performance before each scene was shot. Instead of the Oscars that others speculated..
In fact, Renly knew nothing about the Oscar news. He only learned from Rooney that history continued on its original trajectory. He did not know any follow-up news, and there was no specific nomination list..
Not only that, in order to allow Renly to devote himself to the filming of "Fighting Cancer", Andy Rogers always asked Nathan Price to block all news, leaving Renly with an absolutely quiet environment..
The only thing that could arouse Renly's concern was the performance..
