549 Bad start
Roy watched the figure go away. That was not Renly..
The back figure did not stoop listlessly, but worked hard to straighten the waist. You can notice the straight waist and slightly strained shoulders. The slightly tightened muscles pulled the lines of the suit jacket, faintly revealing the There are traces of exertion, but even so, the spine still seems unable to be fully straightened, and the thin shoulders move forward and inwards, as if...as if they are bearing extremely heavy pressure, that invisible weight. Almost crushing the fragile bones to pieces.
The calm side face is always bright under the flow of light and shadow. The cigarette hangs low at the corner of the mouth. There is no smoke, but it outlines a touch of loneliness and loneliness between the eyebrows, lingering lightly in the deep eyes. There is no special expression. Just like the calm lake surface, but with the slight tugging of the cigarette, there are shallow ripples in the corners of the mouth. There always seem to be emotions surging under the unfathomable dark green lake water. It is unclear, unclear, but always exist.
There was no special effort or outline. The entire performance was natural and flowing, with no trace of polishing in every gesture. More importantly, the seemingly ordinary performance left every audience member bitter. Roy couldn't describe it accurately. The man in front of him was not sad, desperate, or painful, not even a trace of ripples, but the ubiquitous but indescribable emotion was like a huge boulder, fierce and violent. The ground pressed against my chest, making me breathless in the silence..
Roy couldn't believe his mind: he didn't say anything, but it seemed like everything had been said; he didn't act anything, but it seemed like everything was in place. This was the only thought in his mind at the moment, but this kind of self-reflection The contradictory statement, even though he himself thought it was ridiculous, he didn't know what kind of performance it was. It was as if... it was as if that man really existed from his soul to his appearance, and had truly experienced the stormy waves and vicissitudes of life. The earth returned to calmness and ordinaryness, and truly appeared before his eyes..
Five seconds? Or ten seconds? In just a few breaths, Renly transformed into a completely unfamiliar figure. His handsome face seemed to have become ordinary. It was definitely not Renly. Even though he was there to witness everything. Everything, Roy still couldn't believe his eyes——
However, Roy is still a little unsure. Is this Henry Bart?？
“"Transcendence" is Roy's first work after cooperating with Renly. In order to be fully prepared, he read the script several times. Not only did he understand the character, the script, and the shooting process, but he also understood Renly. style, and artistic form. Therefore, Roy also has an in-depth understanding of the role of Henry. However, Roy is not sure about the performance just now..
“Card！”
Tony's shout interrupted the filming, and there was a buzz of discussion on the set. It was not surprise, but surprise, or disappointment. Renly's performance was not as earth-shattering as expected..
Yes, they know that this scene is extremely simple; yes, they know that it is unrealistic to have an explosive acting performance on the first day of filming; yes, they know that it is difficult to see anything in the scene that lasted only a few seconds. These, they Everyone knows it. But under the reputation, they always look forward to something special, novel, and eye-catching. Even they themselves don’t know what they are looking forward to..
As for Sammy and other amateur actors, they were even more confused and didn’t understand them at all..
Tony walked forward quickly, frowning, and came to Renly's side. Without any pause or hesitation, he asked bluntly, "What on earth happened just now? Sadness? What I want is sadness and despair!" Where is your performance?" Tony's temper suddenly rose, his tone was very serious, and there was no cover in his irritable words. He was questioning and rushed forward with an aggressive attitude..
Renly opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Tony was like lighting up a firecracker and continued crackling, "What I need is not a handsome guy, standing there posing and looking cool, what I need is an actor. Real actors, real performances! If I'm looking for a model, there are a lot of them at New York Fashion Week. Please give me something real. Henry is a desperate man. Already overwhelmed by sadness, almost suffocating! What was that of you just now? Jesus Christ, even the lost Bambi has more vitality in his eyes.！”
Renly gave up his defense and allowed Tony to continue venting..
In fact, this is not unexpected. Whether it was the direct shooting without communication or rehearsal, or the recklessness and impulsiveness when they met for the first time, or the urgency and directness in several exchanges, everything can be seen. , Tony is a person who is inexperienced in the world. In his dictionary, there is no such thing as saving face or polite greetings. Art, this is the only thing he cares about. Everything is related to art and only to art..
What's more, Tony's temper is also irritable and jumpy. The first scene is not satisfactory, and Tony's reaction is not surprising..
But for the rest of the crew, this is an absolutely unimaginable surprise. The reason why the first scene is so special is that in order to win a prize, the director and the crew will choose scenes that are relatively easy to shoot to ensure that they can pass smoothly..
It is precisely because of this that the smooth passage of the first scene seems to have become a common formula. The crew has gradually become accustomed to it, and it is natural that the first scene will definitely pass directly, so that the first scene only What is left is the symbolic meaning, which is often just a formality, and everyone immediately gets into the work behind it..
Not to mention the first scene, most of the first day of shooting was like this, relatively simple..
Suddenly, something went wrong in the first scene, and people were inevitably shocked. The shock caused by the huge contrast was almost difficult to conceal. Then, they saw Tony, who was furious and furious. The members of the crew were all shocked. He closed his mouth involuntarily and looked panicked..
Everyone was exchanging glances in a hurry, even Roy and Nathan. No one knew what was going on. The first scene was so simple, but Renly's performance was so abnormal. Could it be because of the previous "speed and The busy promotion of "Passion 5" made Renly lose his temper and he was still unable to regain his composure? Or was it because of his sudden popularity that Renly's mentality was still unbalanced and became inflated?？
But what is certain is that no matter what the reason is, the first scene got off to a bad start, which is definitely not good news for the crew..
For a moment, the atmosphere on the set became weird. The students in the teaching building held their breaths, pressed against the windows, and looked at them cautiously and excitedly. Was there going to be a fight? Did you watch any good shows? Is there going to be an exciting scene?？
“Say something! "Tony saw Renly standing there without saying a word, the calmness on his face still not disappearing. This made Tony's temper rise more and more. He was just anxious at first, but now he was starting to get angry. His right hand holding the script started Waving it in the air, foam flying from the mouth.
Renly did not challenge Tony's authority and gave up his intention of making fun. Instead, he said directly, "My understanding of the character is different." As Renly expected, Tony's temper temporarily relaxed after hearing the discussion about art. He slowed down, raised his chin, and said breathlessly, "Then what do you understand?？”
“Henry's sadness and despair are emotions that slowly penetrate from his bones into his soul. He has given up the struggle, or in other words, he thought he gave up the struggle. But we can look at his behavior - he became He became a teacher and tried to bring hope to more children within his own capabilities, but refused to be bound to these children. Before he became emotionally entangled, he left and continued to repeat his previous actions in another school. To put it simply, he is sowing the seeds of hope, but does not want to continue to cultivate them. Why？”
Renly's tirade silenced Tony. He raised his right hand, supported his chin, and fell into deep thought..
The perspectives of directors, screenwriters and actors are completely different, and the forms of artistic expression they present are also different. Communication is a necessary condition for the success of a film. Many film works have been ruined by this link. Tony and Lan Li is also facing this problem.
“In the script, Henry and three different female characters are used to reveal his inner emotions bit by bit..
In the face of Sarah's overtures, Henry's retreat showed his coldness and alienation. He knew that he was in a bad position and he was unable to respond to other people's emotional calls for help..
In the face of Meredith's request for help, Henry's hesitation shows his fear and despair. He is trying to help Meredith, but he is worried about more emotional entanglements between the two people. He has no ability to treat anyone. Responsible.
In the face of Erica's invasion, Henry's numbness showed his sadness and bitterness. Erica approached step by step. He passively helped, but did not dare to go further, because he saw in Erica what he had once seen. of oneself.
Different relationships show different emotions. Little by little, Henry's emotions are revealed. Before meeting these people, or to be precise, before his life situation changed, Henry carefully wrapped himself up, Live in your own world, carefully restraining all emotions, like a wandering soul, losing its vitality, but still unwilling to leave, just floating without any sense of existence.”
“Are you saying that this is the effect you want? Does it look like stagnant water? Tony said, finally understanding what Renly meant..
