582 social responsibility
Early in the morning, a large crowd gathered in the high school where the "Transcendence" crew was located. At a glance, it was estimated that there were nearly a hundred people. For those large crews, this was less than one-tenth of the small scale; but for For a small independent crew, it seems vast, like a vast ocean..
However, although the crowd was large, it was not noisy at all. To be more precise, the entire crew seemed a little disappointed and a little sad. Because today is the day when the "Transcendence" crew wraps up filming, and there is still the last scene left to shoot. After the filming was completed, it was announced that the filming of the entire movie was completed, and everyone was inevitably a little reluctant to leave..
During the filming, everyone was complaining, especially when they met Tony and Renly, a big lunatic and a small lunatic. The working process was simply miserable, except for the bus scene, which was shot in record time In addition to seventy-one times, there were many scenes that were reshot over and over again. There were at least ten scenes that were reshot more than thirty times..
I heard from the production team that this time the "transcendent" film was enough to cut out one and a half episodes of "Once Upon a Time in America." For reference, the director's cut of "Once Upon a Time in America" is 229 minutes, nearly four hours. No one knows how long Tony will cut out a movie. Even the screenwriter Carl Lund himself complained, "I am sure that this movie was made with the intention of driving the audience out of the theater..”
But when it came to the end, everyone began to become inseparable. There was only one main reason: Renly Hall.
To be honest, Renly is not a well-rounded and well-rounded person. He is not familiar with most of the crew and has not even spoken to him. However, Renly is a dedicated and dedicated actor. It is really a joy to watch him filming. It's like watching a play in a Broadway theater.
The difference is that when watching Broadway, the audience is just amazed and dumbfounded, but when watching Renly filming, the process, level and depth of the performance are carefully displayed in front of everyone. On the one hand, it makes people deeply Deeply feel the difference in performance strength, truly distinguishing excellent actors from ordinary performances; on the other hand, it allows people to truly feel the difficulties and challenges of performance, and at the same time understand the difference between dedication and ordinary performance.
Tony is a movie fanatic. In order to film "Transcendence" well, the selection of the entire crew also has strict requirements in terms of professionalism. You can know it by looking at the cast. Each of these people is qualified. They have artistic background and can identify good and bad. Although they have a high vision and a good temper, they all know the goods..
The filming process was indeed hard, and an independent film took nearly seven weeks to shoot, which is not inferior to those commercial blockbusters; but it was also really enjoyable, allowing people to truly feel the suffering and happiness of artistic creation..
It was rumored during "Fighting Cancer" that Renly was so selfless in filming that he suffered from health problems and unfortunately missed the Oscars. Everyone still believed it. Now that he has experienced it himself, he understands what is going on. .As a result, many people have become interested in “the me who fights cancer”.
Now that the filming is about to be completed, the regret and loss in my heart inevitably begin to rise. I am full of bitterness but I don’t know how to describe it..
Jeremy Marks had a smile on his face. The hard work was finally over. Feeling the low pressure from the crew, he couldn't help but comforted him, "It's a good thing it's over. If you want to self-abuse, there will be cooperation next time." Opportunity." But even Jeremy himself said these words of comfort were weak, his smile seemed heavy and weak, and the empty feeling in his heart could not be described in words..
Is this also the case when you were a student? When I go to school, I always miss the holidays, but after the holidays, I miss the time in class again. Even though I know this is extremely ridiculous, I still can't control it..
Thinking about it now, Jeremy laughed dumbly at his cold treatment of Renly. Things are unpredictable, and life is indeed full of surprises..
“Good morning！”
“good morning sir！”
There were waves of greetings in his ears, and without looking back, Jeremy knew that it was Renly who had arrived on the set..
Because Renly plays a teacher in the movie, the students all call him "Sir". The actors who play the students this time are all ordinary people with no acting experience. They are all high school students. Gradually, They got used to this name, and they called it this on and off the show. Over time, even the crew started to call Renly this..
Even director Tony didn't treat him like this.
Looking back, Jeremy saw Renly with a relaxed smile on his face. His gentle and booklike manner made people feel particularly comfortable. He took the initiative to step forward and said hello, "Good morning. Are you ready? Crew Everything is in place, now we're just waiting for the actors to come on stage.”
Renly smiled and nodded, "No problem, you can start directly." With that, Renly walked straight towards the classroom..
In the final closing scene of the entire movie, Tony chooses one of Henry's classes.
Before that, Henry had already determined that he would end his career as a substitute teacher in this school and go to another school. The students seemed reluctant to leave. They could all feel that among so many teachers, Henry was the only one. A teacher who really cares about them, but now, this teacher is leaving. There is still no hope in life..
And this class was the last class before the end of the semester after Meredith committed suicide. The atmosphere in the entire class was very depressing. Henry looked at the seat vacated by Meredith with a heavy heart. Here, he read A poem by Edgar Allan Poe, the one Renly and Tony chose when they auditioned, "The Fall of the House of Usher"”.
The movie will end with this poem. But this scene is undoubtedly very difficult. All the emotions are suppressed under the water and hidden in the poem. It requires the actors to understand the lines, emotions, director's intention, and the intention of the director. The students all had profound interpretations. However, Tony had absolute trust in Renly, so he chose this difficult scene as the finale and had already filmed all other scenes in advance..
After entering the classroom, Renly saw that the student actors were already sitting in their seats, each one ready for filming. He waved and said, "Good morning..”
“Good morning, sir." The students said sparsely and unevenly, and their voices seemed weak..
This made Renly chuckle, "Why are you so listless? Shouldn't you be happy? Such a long torture is finally over. We don't have to suffer anymore. The next step is vacation... Oh, I I have forgotten that school will start in a week, right? Are you regretting it because the summer vacation is coming to an end?？”
The students looked at each other, and no one spoke. After waiting for a short while, a black student raised his hand, and after getting Renly's consent, he said, "Sir, I think we have to separate. I'm very sorry. You said , will we have a chance to meet again in the future?？”
“Yes, sir. Can we leave the Bronx? I still want to continue studying, but I don’t know if I can continue after school starts this year..”
“Sir, I want to be an actor, do you think it is possible?？”
“Sir, is reading really useful?？”
……
The chattering words came and went, which made Renly slightly stunned. For him, this is a performance work, but it is also an experience of life; but for these students, this is a dream, beautiful and happy dream, after today, they will wake up and return to real life.
Out of the corner of his eye, Renly saw Sammy and Betty. Their scenes had been filmed, but they still came to the set today. The two stood at the back door of the classroom, looking at Renly with confused eyes..
At this moment, Renly truly felt the weight on his shoulders, just like Tony when he was filming the movie "Transcendence". If they just reach out to help poor individuals, their personal power is limited after all, and they need the attention of society. We need the support of more authorities. Only by truly changing the concept of education and truly changing the situation in the community can we help more people..
Renly has never really done anything, he just insists on being a dedicated actor. How can he win the trust of these children? How can he be able to guide them in the direction of life? It was not until today that Renly understood for the first time what the social responsibility of a public figure was..
Renly put down his shoulder bag, walked to the front of the podium, considered his thoughts, and then said, "Believe me, reading is the only way to change your life. You can go far away, you can now Just find a job, you can choose to give up or compromise.”
“There is no answer in life. Everyone will find their own path. Why not become an actor? Of course you can become a photographer or an artist; there is nothing shameful about becoming a blue-collar worker or a homeless person." Standing in front of the podium, Renly deeply felt the responsibility of a teacher and a parent. For these confused children, teachers and parents are their only support. “Everyone has their own choice. Can you make money by studying? Can I eat enough while studying? The answer is no, but reading can give you these choices. The choice may not be the right one, but at least you have the opportunity to choose.”
“Will we have the chance to meet in the future? Maybe, maybe not. But at least we should try and see." Renly said with a smile, but his heart was heavy..
All the children clapped and looked at Renly with eyes full of hope, which made Renly a little embarrassed. He suppressed his emotions, showed a big smile, raised his right hand and pressed it down, " I'm not a teacher, I'm just an actor. In the eyes of many people, an actor is not a good role model.”
This joke successfully made everyone burst into laughter. Betty, who was standing at the back of the classroom, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks and smiled through her tears..
