574 Drama is like life
“Card！”
Tony Meyer's shout echoed over the crew, like a spell that lifted a magic spell. The silent and still crew instantly regained its vitality. People exchanged glances in amazement. They couldn't believe their eyes. Press Unable to bear the excitement, they started talking in whispers.
Paul Walker stood next to him, his eyes widened, his face full of surprise. He was surprised by Betty's outstanding performance. Could it be that just a new acting actor could give such a wonderful performance? I was even more surprised by Renly's uncanny ability. His seemingly plain performance showed all the emotions in his movements and wandering eyes..
Paul was new here. He didn't know the ins and outs of the story or the content of the performance, but he could clearly understand the heaviness and complexity of it..
Paul has never doubted Renly's acting ability. He has watched all of Renly's current works except for "The Fight Against Cancer" which has not yet been released. He clearly knows how good Renly is. .But watching it so closely today, Paul felt more deeply that there was always a strong strength and tenacity in Renly's performance, which outlined the character's emotions and the story's context, making it impossible to move away. open eyes.
But what's even more amazing is that even under Renly's powerful performance, the new actor named Betty was not inferior. There was no imbalance of power in the whole scene. Betty's performance burst out with horror. Human energy, real and vivid, fills the emotion of the whole scene to its fullest state.
Where did this Betty come from?？
“Wow." Jeremy, who was standing next to Paul, did not suppress his exclamation, which made Paul nod and exclaimed together, "She is really great.！”
Jeremy nodded in affirmation and looked at Paul with a horrified face, his eyes almost falling off, "She is indeed great! But do you know? Before today, her minimum number of NGs was three times, and her maximum number of NGs was three times. The record is thirty-seven times. She has never been able to shoot any scene smoothly. This is her first movie, and she never intended to take the path of an actor..”
“What? "Paul frowned, not understanding what Jeremy said: So, is Betty a genius?？
Jeremy's expression still looked like he had seen a ghost, "I mean, she doesn't know how to act at all..”
“What? That……? "Paul looked at the classroom again, and an idea flashed in his mind, "Could it be..." Then he looked at Jeremy, and the same answer showed in their eyes: Renly Hall.
What kind of power is it that can turn decay into magic? And what kind of aura is it that can guide and guide the opponent in the scene?？
Paul suddenly couldn't remember what it was like to act opposite Renly, and the memory in his mind gradually became blurry. Maybe that's because "Fast and Furious 5" didn't test acting skills at all. Renly interpreted the feeling effortlessly, so he didn't feel the power; perhaps, that was because he really had no acting talent at all and missed Renly's performance due to his stupidity..
The entire set was in shock, marveling at Betty's wonderful performance. This was an unprecedented first time since the filming started, so that everyone was a little flustered. Trivial and low-key discussions could be heard endlessly, and everyone was lamenting what had just happened. The effect presented by the play, but these voices never spread, because their opinions don’t count, Tony’s does..
As a result, all eyes were cast on Tony, waiting for his verdict. Without too much hesitation, Tony raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Very good, let's switch to different angles and shoot again.".”
That straightforward attitude once again confirmed the staff's guess: Betty had indeed performed exceptionally just now, and even Tony, the second pickiest person on the crew, nodded his approval - the most picky one was obviously Renly, who was standing in front of the camera. , So, what happened just now? Why did Betty become completely different in just one scene? And is it the most difficult scene for Meredith in the entire script? This...isn't this a fantasy?？
Renly's vision became clear again, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly..
Although method acting has indeed brought countless gains in several works so far, he is still accustomed to expressionistic acting. After the performance, the faint emotions are still surging on the tip of his tongue, and the lines and emotions of the character also remain. In the blood, but it will not dominate, he quickly regained his senses and felt quite relaxed..
The difficulty of expressionistic acting mainly lies in two parts, one is the solid basic skills, and the other is the interpretation of the script. There are no shortcuts in both parts. The only way is to calm down and polish it slowly. But as long as it is polished, Then acting is something that comes easily. Just like veteran actors such as Maggie-Smiths, Judi Dench, and Helen Mirren..
The most difficult part of shooting today's scene was before shooting. After officially starting filming, it was easier for Renly. He interpreted the whole scene and the relationship between the characters from a method perspective, and then used an expressionist approach to This gave Renly a lot of inspiration, and the performance process became a kind of enjoyment..
Take the scene just now as an example. The focus of the performance is actually Betty, not Renly. Renly is a supporting role, and he cannot take away Betty's shine, but this does not mean that Renly's performance is easy. His eyes, The expression, tone of voice, even the posture of sitting and standing, and the movements of the hands, these details all show the status and changes of the character. This can almost be said to have mobilized Renly's eighteen martial arts to go all out..
“After the sound of "stuck" sounded, Renly stood there and reviewed the details of the scene just now in his mind, and then reorganized his thoughts: If the performance method was changed, what would it be like? effect, whether subtle changes in emotion would be more appropriate.
After the reflection and aftertaste was over, Renly suddenly had an idea: Where is Betty?？
In the scene just now, Betty's performance can definitely be called amazing. As Betty's main opponent in the movie, Renly has the clearest understanding of Betty's performance status and rhythm. It can be seen that Betty During the performance, I got a little carried away and blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy. I was so involved that I couldn't extricate myself..
Renly looked around, but Christina Hendricks, who was standing next to him, looked confused. He couldn't understand the meaning in Renly's eyes. Renly left the classroom directly, came to the corridor, and then looked When he reached Betty, who was kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but panic. He ran over quickly and shouted worriedly, "Betty, Betty, are you okay?"？”
But Betty didn't seem to hear Renly's call. She curled up on the ground and cried muffledly. The dull and suppressed cry whispered in her chest. If she didn't come close, she could hardly hear it, but it was full of tears. Feeling grievances and fragility, it seems as if one can see blood flowing from the bruises all over his body, helpless and hesitant..
Renly didn't know what Betty had gone through, but he knew that the reason why Tony chose Betty to play the role of Meredith was because they had something in common. Obviously, he just threw himself into Henry's arms for help. , not Meredith, but Betty herself.
But, she was rejected.
The entire corridor was empty. Renly did not see Tony. He raised his chin slightly and penetrated the glass window of the classroom. Then Renly saw Tony standing in front of the monitor. Tony was watching the replay attentively, and then he and The photographer discussed the next lens selection and use. He was so focused that it seemed as if he was the only one left in the world..
Renly knows this kind of Tony all too well, that's who he is..
His eyes dropped again, and then he saw the lonely and helpless Betty. Renly felt sad in his heart. Tony was an excellent artist, no doubt, but he was not an excellent father. Life is always like this, and people are not perfect. , let alone omnipotent, those artists who have achieved incredible success in art are often assholes in their private lives..
For example, Marlon Brando was a romantic man, had many illegitimate children, and always gave up. Another example is Clint Eastwood, who, during the filming of the movie, went behind his wife's back, became jealous of the heroine, and fought with the director. They even forced the director to leave the crew and take over the reins themselves, so much so that Hollywood issued the "Eastwood Rules", which prohibits actors or producers from taking over the reins after firing the director..
The same is true for Tony. Compared with his daughter, the movie is the most important thing.
In the movie, Henry had to refuse Meredith's request for help; but in reality, Renly was able to help Betty, at least give a little support.
So, Renly sat down cross-legged next to Betty. He didn't speak, but he didn't leave either. He just let Betty cry happily and vent all the negative emotions in his heart..
The faint cry echoed softly in my ears. For a long time, it seemed that I had countless grievances that I wanted to express, but I didn’t know how to speak. I could only express them through crying..
In the meantime, Jeremy came over to see what was going on. The crew was ready, but the two actors disappeared. Renly stopped Jeremy with his eyes and signaled Jeremy to leave, leaving Betty alone. her own space.
It wasn't until she was tired and tired that Betty stopped, wiped the tears from her eyes, raised her head, and then saw Renly with a smile on his face, which made her a little embarrassed and lowered her head in a hurry. , wiping the embarrassment on his face.
Renly didn't interrupt her, just waited for her to raise her head again, and gently teased, "Are you sure you can still cry in the second shooting later? This time it's a close-up..”
Pfft, Betty laughed involuntarily..
