Renly read these two pages of the script three times, then put it down and slowly pieced together the entire blueprint in his mind..
This is an excerpt from the middle of the movie. Paul has contacted the FBI through his mobile phone and is waiting for rescue. The kidnappers called and asked Paul to record a video and report it to the US government in accordance with the note they left in the coffin. The / government demanded a ransom of one million and then sent it to the kidnappers. But the staff of the Bureau of Investigation discouraged Paul from recording the video because it would only make things worse. In the end, Paul did not record the video..
The excerpt is in the next paragraph. The kidnappers had not received the video for a long time, so they sent a video. In the video, one of Paul's female colleagues was also kidnapped, but in a room similar to a warehouse. The kidnapper threatened to kill the female colleague. In an emergency, Paul was forced to agree to record the video.
Renly couldn't help but think seriously. He had no way of knowing how it felt to be trapped in a coffin, but he knew that Paul's emotions at the moment were very complicated. On the one hand, he was waiting for the FBI to rescue him; on the other hand, he was worried that he would not be able to escape. out, so he called his mother who lived in a nursing home. The video of the kidnapper was sent at such an emotional moment..
Originally, Paul still held on to a glimmer of hope that he could escape, but then the crisis struck again. Not only was his life hanging by a thread, but the lives of his colleagues were also in danger; what was even more infuriating was that he was trapped in In the small coffin, even if you want to resist, you can't, you can only be beaten passively, and you can't vent your frustration..
Looking around, they were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the youth hostel. As the weather cleared again, the crowd gradually dispersed away from Ali, but at this time there were still seven or eight people scattered in the lobby chatting. The atmosphere seems peaceful and peaceful.
“I'm ready." Renly made an "OK" gesture to Roderigo, "Will you help me with this scene??”
Rodrigo didn't react for a moment, so he was stunned, and then nodded, "No problem." In this scene, Renly needed a role to play opposite the kidnapper. There were not many lines, but a dialogue between the two parties was needed..
The reason for choosing this scene is simple. Paul is in a dramatic moment when he is pushed off a cliff after a brief relaxation. This extreme change tests the actor's emotional control, which is in line with the first part of Renly's description; moreover, Paul witnessed When his colleagues are in crisis and are touched, and at the same time he must consider the dissuasion of the Bureau of Investigation, Paul's inner change will be even more special, in line with the second part of Renly's description.
Of course, Rodrigo also knew that in just a few minutes, the content of the inspection was limited, but he was still very curious about how the confident Renly would perform. While watching, Rodrigo saw Renly lying down Come down... actually lie down like this!
Renly adjusted his sitting posture, stretched out his legs and lay on the sofa, then closed his eyes and let the rhythm of his breathing gradually slow down. In his mind, he imagined the feeling of being trapped in a narrow space, and the darkness slowly It fell down, surrounded him, and began to shrink little by little..
For the time being, he did not think about the probability of Ryan Reynolds getting this role, nor did he think about the possibility of breaking the shackles of age to win the role. At the same time, he did not think about the noise of being in a public place, and focused his thoughts wholeheartedly on the role itself. , let the spirit be highly concentrated.
In the darkness, the noise in the ears began to get louder and louder, and the shrinkage of the darkness became more and more obvious, as if the entire world outside the darkness was experiencing a New Year's Eve party, further compressing the dark space. , almost surrounding Renly, airtight; after the darkness was compressed to the extreme, it began to bounce out again, quickly swallowing up the noise like a tide, just like the darkness was swallowing up the light, and in the blink of an eye, everything around him The sounds disappeared.
Rodrigo's eyes widened and he looked carefully, but found that Renly didn't move at all, as if he was completely asleep. This made Rodrigo completely confused, and for a moment he didn't know what to do - —Should he wake Renly up??
But at this moment, Renly's breathing began to accelerate, and his chest rose and fell violently like a bellows. The violent movement almost made Rodrigo think that Renly's illness was attacking, which was really scary. Then, Renly's Eyes opened.
Those deep eyes were hidden behind a hazy mist. The slightly clenched teeth tightened the lines of the face. A trace of endured pain and struggle loomed between the slightly frowned eyebrows. The heavy breathing was heavy in the chest. The ground is stirring, as if every breath is consuming brain energy..
Even without the help of makeup, even though his face still looked young, even without any language to pave the way, the emotions were still conveyed clearly and accurately. Rodrigo understood it almost immediately. After talking to his mother, Paul's Emotions fluctuated fiercely, and the rupture of family affection slowly spread between the teeth with a heart-rending pain..
Paul picked up the phone, closed his eyes hard, and endured the tremendous pain with all his strength, then put the phone to his ear, but his thumb was reluctant to press the call button, and Yingting frowned lightly. As soon as he raised it, the bitterness rippled, and he took a breath, as if all the emotions in his heart stopped at this moment, but the ripples spread out in circles, uncontrollably. He pressed call button.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Paul took the phone to his eyes and glanced at it. Someone actually sent a video. Paul's held breath suddenly relaxed. His tangled eyebrows could not suppress the panic in his heart, and his pupils He was shaking uneasily, biting his teeth but still to no avail. He raised his thumb again and paused slightly. In less than half a second, you could see the gently trembling fingertips, and then his thumb OK key pressed.
“No." There was silence in the air. Without any other assistance, Rodrigo watched the one-man show in front of him, but his heart immediately became tangled. He knew that Paul had seen the video of his colleague - the rapid vibration. There was a hint of confusion and panic in his pupils, and the desperate nightmare began to climb up from his fingertips, "No, no, no, no, no, no!”
The negative voice began to tremble slightly. He widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the screen of his mobile phone. The ashes of heart paralysis passed through his eyes, and his voice began to collapse, "No, no, no."!”
He breathed heavily, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually disappeared. He quickly pressed the number, and the call was connected almost immediately. Rodrigo lowered his voice and said, "Did you record it?" God, he His performance is just bullshit, pretentious, and every line he says is inaccurate. He is really not suitable to be an actor..
“please! No...no...don't hurt her! "Paul's voice was broken, and you could even hear the clash of teeth. He was not affected by Rodrigo at all, "Don't hurt her! let her go!”
The panicked voice revealed the despair, as if even the darkness became insignificant. Rodrigo's emotions couldn't help but be stirred up, and he said fiercely, "If you don't make a video, I will shoot."!”
“No no no! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! "Paul's pleading voice lost control and exploded like a bubble - a fierce sound, but there was only nothingness, and he quickly fell into the bottomless abyss..
In an instant, the eyes of the entire youth hostel hall were focused, and people's eyes showed concern. The noise disappeared, their muscles tensed, and their whole bodies were on guard. Then they heard Paul's urgent plea, "I Yes, I will! I promise!" The fragility in her voice seemed to fall apart with just a breeze, "I promise! She is a mother, and she has two children..”
“Two kids? I had five children and now I only have one left! Rodrigo couldn't help but grind his teeth fiercely. Even he himself didn't know why he was doing this. His cruel voice was like a poisonous snake spitting a message, "You'll make the video right away."!”
“etc! etc! "But Paul was losing ground. He didn't even have the strength to parry, let alone the strength to fight back. "No, wait! "The hard pleading had no effect at all, "I don't know what you want me to say..." In the panic, he was still trying to mediate, as if he was falling on the edge of a cliff and clinging to the last rope. He didn't want to give up, but the other party obviously didn't give him a chance, "I'll give you three seconds, three, two……”
The death-like countdown tightly strangled Paul's throat. All the muscles in his body tightened, but he was unable to move. He was firmly pressed in place, as if all his limbs were fixed. Only the sound was Free. Then, he roared at the top of his lungs to vent his inner frustration, anger, helplessness and despair, "Okay! Okay!" The pupils began to spread outward, and you could clearly see that the vitality of the soul was disappearing, and the despair was already dead. It starts to invade the brain, "I can make videos! I can make videos! I can make videos!”
The words became faster and more painful each time. This was his only weapon, but it was of no avail. "Please! Please! Please!" The roar with all his strength vented all the energy. He loosened his hands and slowly Slowly falling into the abyss of darkness, my ears finally became quiet, and the countdown sound finally disappeared, "I want to hang up the phone and record the video now, okay??”
“You have three minutes! "Rodrigue's voice came up from hell..
Paul hung up the phone, immediately turned over, and then pointed the camera on the back of the phone at himself. He had even forgotten to breathe. His pale lips had no color at all, and his soulless eyes looked at the camera numbly and empty. , the clenched teeth revealed a trace of determination - he knew that after making the video, he had cut off his life with his own hands, but he had to do it, because he had no choice but to do it for others..
Taking a deep breath without any pause, he pressed the record button.
