551 Polishing cooperation
Sammy Gale's eyes were full of confusion. For her, she still couldn't understand the details and meaning of Renly's performance, let alone Tony's interpretation and perspective; but at the same time, it was full of excitement, so close. Watching Renly's performance, even though it was an "NG" just now, my blood still started to flow quickly, and my whole body was trembling..
Turning his head, Sami looked at Betty Kaye beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what they are doing?？”
Betty's eyes fell on her father, but this was the first time she entered the set and the first time she entered the crew. She knew nothing about all the situations that happened in front of her. To be honest, she was not interested in acting at all. Ciya just came here to help her father. But everything that happened in front of her just now made her a little curious..
Hearing Sami's words, Betty showed an innocent expression and pursed her lips. Although she didn't speak, her attitude could not be more obvious. This made Sami laugh, her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth raised together, "This It’s really interesting! What do you think the next filming will be like?” Sammy jumped up and down with excitement as he imagined that he was going to play opposite Renly..
She didn't know what was happening, but she knew that Renly and Tony were discussing the performance. The process of artistic creation was happening right in front of her eyes. This was something that had never been seen on a TV show set. Therefore, this was the real art. ?？
Sammy was looking forward to it, but Betty was worried. Her eyes fell on Renly again. She was not sure whether she could do a good job, and she was not sure whether she would become a burden. If she became a disaster, then what to do? But even so, Betty had to admit that witnessing two people discussing art was not as boring as she imagined..
The probing gazes around them had no impact on Tony and Renly. The two of them were watching the replay for the twenty-ninth time. Tony took the trouble to watch Renly's performance over and over again. Examine from different perspectives and levels.
Wonderful, incomparably wonderful. Gradually, Tony tasted the profound meaning of Renly's performance. Every detail of his eyebrows, eyes, corners of his mouth, shoulders, and even his standing posture and the position of his backpack could be felt in detail. The strong contrast between being normal on the surface but dead inside, the intense contradiction between being ordinary on the surface but feeling ashen in reality, is presented with ease and without trace, without any trace of carving, but it has already been said. After all the vicissitudes of life.
In just five seconds of performance, Renly gave the role of Henry more possibilities. If we say that people can appreciate Henry's charm or feel Henry's emotions now, it would be an exaggeration. It takes too much time. It was short-lived, and the space for performance was too limited; but it was just a debut, and the complex and profound introverted temperament left countless possibilities and countless question marks..
Although this was not what Tony had expected for Henry, he had to admit that Renly's solid basic skills and profound interpretation ability really impressed people..
It is a pity that the two people are on different tracks in terms of creative ideas, so that the camera lens cannot capture enough information. It is like in a dance, the two people are viewed separately, it is wonderful, but the two people's The beats were not on the same channel, causing the overall performance to become a disaster, and all the wonderful personal interpretations were ruined. This is a typical case where the whole is inferior to the individual..
Cooperation requires both parties to polish and adapt to each other. Only in this way can we call it a team. Otherwise, even for the most talented artists, the work produced by teamwork will be just a disaster. Today is the launch of "Detachment" On the first day, the scene was relatively simple, but it was also a buffering stage for the two of them to lay the foundation for cooperation..
In a sense, this is one of the important reasons why the director chose relatively simple scenes in the first few days of filming..
Playing it over and over again, Tony was reimagining the role of Henry in his mind, "Why did you choose to roll a cigarette but not light it? Does this have any special significance?" Tony asked curiously..
“If I say it’s just because I don’t smoke, do you believe this reason? "Renly's answer was beyond Tony's expectation, and he couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes were full of disbelief. He looked at Renly's serious look seriously, then he smiled and waved his hand, and said Thought Renly was joking.
But then Renly's words made Tony's expression freeze, "I'm serious." Seeing Tony's petrified shock, Renly couldn't help laughing, "After getting off the bus, Henry didn't immediately After entering the school, he stayed on the platform. On the one hand, he was waiting for all the students to enter the teaching building; on the other hand, he also needed some time to settle and adjust. It was a brand new student and a brand new beginning. In the script Here, Carl's description is: Henry stood by the bus stop, smoked a whole cigarette, then put out the cigarette butt, turned and walked into the teaching building.”
Even without a script, Renly could clearly recite every entry in Cal's writing, everything already committed to memory..
“So, why? "Renly's rhetorical question made Tony a little anxious, and he eagerly wanted to interrupt: What's the reason for this? Smoking is prohibited in school, and Henry needed a little buffer, so he smoked a cigarette at the bus stop, that's all, where? There are so many reasons why, isn’t this just looking for trouble?？
But Renly didn't give Tony room to speak, and continued, "I mean, what is the reason why Henry chooses to smoke? To escape? To numb? Or is it a habit? In addition to smoking, does he also drink alcohol? What about drugs? ?" Renly's series of questions made Tony calm down and fall into deep thought..
At this time, Sami and Betty, as well as other actors and staff, who were standing not far behind, all looked confused, as if they were looking at two insane lunatics: such a conversation, It's really incomprehensible.
“Henry is in a desperate state. What he needs is not to escape and be numb, but to let himself feel the pain, which can keep him awake. At the same time, this will also become the motivation for him to continue to persevere. You know, he is still I am changing schools, still trying to bring hope to more students, and still persisting on the road of education..”
After Renly finished explaining, he ended with a joke, "Of course, the original intention is that I don't smoke. Strictly speaking, I can smoke, but I try to avoid it..”
Tony did not laugh, but thought carefully, "You mean, Henry doesn't smoke or drink?" This is not what Tony is good at, but Renly's words successfully convinced him, and the performance of the character and the movie style, these are two parts that complement each other, "Then why did you choose cigarettes?"？”
“Or do you want me to stand there in a daze for a while? "Renly's rhetorical question made Tony blink. He really didn't know how to answer. Then he saw Renly smiling and said, "This is just my personal understanding. He doesn't smoke, but he still rolls cigarettes habitually. , maybe this is a habit left over from his past. When did he stop smoking? Why did you quit smoking? This is a story outside the movie script, but it is an important supplement to the character.”
Tony was immersed in his own thoughts and considered it carefully. Neither of them spoke, letting the silence spread for a moment. Then Tony nodded without making too many comments, but this action gave enough recognition, " Let's reshoot this scene again. This time..." Leaving the actor's field, Tony re-entered the director mode, "Can you highlight the details of the performance a little bit? No, I mean, you follow the instructions? My own rhythm performance, but a little more exposed, I used a medium shot and a close shot to record the entire state to see how the effect is..”
In the first shooting just now, Tony used all medium shots, and there was a problem with the angle. He used a 30-degree oblique angle to shoot, and the height position was also a little off, a little too high, so Renly's big head was missing in the shot. Part of the performance, those eyes, those body parts, those changes, were completely leaked..
This is why Tony was so angry. He didn't see enough information on the monitor. He only saw a cool figure. This was a fatal damage to the overall style of the movie. It looked a little bit It doesn't look like an art-drama movie, but more like a youth idol movie like "Twilight". It seems like he should use backlighting and soft light to infinitely highlight the handsomeness of the male protagonist..
But after the exchange, Tony realized that it was actually a communication problem. The deviation of the lens led to huge errors in capturing information..
An actor like Renly who calms down, slows down the pace, and carefully polishes his character, preparing every aspect from his lines to his habits, from his expressions to his personality, is really rare. Especially considering the recent summer schedule. With a strong momentum, Tony knew very clearly that Renly was busy with promotional work all day long, but Renly not only did not get carried away, nor did he take it lightly. This is an immeasurable and valuable quality for a young actor..
Now, Tony is sure that he needs to adjust the shooting method, and Renly also needs to adjust the rhythm of the performance. They need a certain amount of running-in time. This is fine, today's shooting is relatively simple, and they have enough time to polish it slowly..
“Is the lens moving or static? Medium shot to close shot? Or does it change from close-up to mid-range? "The time of this scene is really too short, about five to ten seconds, which also makes Renly's performance rhythm must be properly controlled, just like the opening scene of "Buried Alive", which only relies on the rhythm changes of breathing. Brewing emotions. However, "detachment" requires more, because there are more elements of performance.
“I don't know." Tony gave an answer that was very "Tony style", "Let's try it. I'll give you thirty seconds to do whatever you want, and then I'll capture the footage and then find the right clip. ." Tony said casually, and then waved his hand, which was considered a nod..
