"Card!"
Tony Meyer's cry reverberated over the crew, like a magic spell. The silent and still crew instantly regained its vitality. People exchanged their eyes in surprise. They couldn't believe their eyes. They began to talk with each other in a whisper.
Paul Walker stood beside him, his eyes wide open, his face full of surprise, surprised by Betty's brilliant performance, can any new actor give such a wonderful performance? He was even more surprised at lanli's superb performance, but his seemingly insipid performance showed all his emotions between his actions and his wandering eyes.
Paul is a newcomer. He doesn't know the story or the content of the play, but he can clearly read the heaviness and complexity.
Paul has never questioned the performing power of Langley. He has seen all of his current works, except "cancer fighting me", which has not been shown yet. He knew exactly how good Langley was. But today, when he was watching so closely, Paul felt more deeply that there was always a strong strength and tenacity in the process of Langley's performance, which outlined the emotions of the characters and the context of the story, making people unable to open their eyes.
But what's more amazing is that even under the powerful performance of Langley, the new actor named Betty is not inferior. There is no power imbalance in the whole play. Betty's performance bursts out shocking energy, which is real and vivid, filling the mood of the whole play to the most full state.
Where did this Betty come from?
"Wow." Standing next to Paul, Jeremy didn't suppress his exclamation, which made Paul nod and exclaim, "she's really great!"
Jeremy nodded in affirmation and looked at Paul in horror. Her eyes almost fell off. "She's really great! But you know what? Before today, her minimum number of ng was three, and her maximum record was 37. She has never been able to film a scene smoothly. It's her first film, and she's never meant to be an actress
"What?" Paul frowned and didn't understand Jeremy's words: so is Betty a genius?
Jeremy's face was still a ghost. "I mean, she didn't know how to act."
"What? So Paul looked at the classroom again, with a flash in his mind, "is it..." and then he looked at Jeremy, with the same answer in their eyes: Langley hall.
What kind of power can turn decay into magic? What kind of aura is it that can guide and lead in the opponent's play?
Paul can't remember what it's like to play with Langley. The memory in his mind gradually becomes blurred. Maybe that's because "speed and passion 5" has no test on acting skills at all. Lanli interprets the feeling without any effort, so he doesn't feel the power; Maybe, that's because he really didn't have any acting talent. He was so slow that he missed the performance of Langley.
The whole set was in shock, amazed at Betty's wonderful performance, which was the first time since the start of the film, so that everyone was a little flustered. Trivial and low-key discussions continued, and everyone was sighing about the effect of the play just now, but these voices never spread, because their views didn't count, Tony's was.
As a result, the eyes are projected on Tony, waiting for his judgment. Tony didn't hesitate too much, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "That's good. Next, let's switch the lens from different angles and shoot again."
That crisp attitude once again confirmed the staff's conjecture: Betty really played supernormal just now, and even Tony, the second picky on the crew, nodded and passed - the most picky one was obviously blue Li standing in front of the camera. So, what happened just now? Why did Betty change in one play? And it's the most difficult scene of Meredith in the whole play? Is this... Is this not a fantasy?
Lan Li's vision was clear again, and his tight shoulders relaxed a little.
Although the method school's acting skills have brought countless gains in several works so far, he is still used to the performance style of the performance school. After the performance, the faint emotion is still surging on the tip of the tongue, and the lines and emotions of the characters are also left in the blood, but he won't make a fuss. He soon regained his sense and felt quite relaxed.
The difficulties of expressionism mainly lie in two parts, one is the solid basic skills, the other is the interpretation of the script. There is no shortcut for the two parts, only to be down-to-earth and slowly polish. But as long as it's polished out, then the performance is easy. It's like Maggie Smiths, Judy Dench, Helen Mirren.
The most difficult part of shooting today's play is before shooting. After the shooting, it's easy for lanli to interpret the whole play and the relationship between the characters from the perspective of methodology, and then interpret it in the way of expressionism, which gives lanli a lot of inspiration and makes the performance process a kind of enjoyment.
Take the play just now as an example. The focus of the performance is actually Betty, not Langley. Langley is a supporting actor. He can't steal Betty's light, but that doesn't mean Langley's performance is easy. Eyes, expression, tone, even the posture of sitting and standing, hand movements, these details show the status and changes of the character, which can almost be said to mobilize Lan Li's 18 kinds of martial arts.
After the sound of "Ka", lanli stood in the same place, reviewed the performance details of the play in his mind, and then rearranged his mind: if we change a performance way, what kind of effect will it present, and whether the subtle change of emotion will be more appropriate.
At the end of reflection and aftertaste, lanli suddenly came up with an idea: what about Betty?
Betty's performance in the play just now is absolutely amazing. As Betty's main rival actor in the film, Langley has the clearest understanding of Betty's performance state and rhythm. It can be seen that Betty is possessed in the process of performance, confusing the boundary between reality and illusion, and is too involved to extricate herself.
Lanli looked around, but Christina Hendrix, who was standing beside him, was puzzled and didn't understand the meaning in lanli's eyes. Lanli left the classroom and came to the corridor. Then he saw Betty, who was kneeling on the ground. In a panic, he ran quickly and cried anxiously, "Betty, Betty, are you ok?"
But Betty didn't seem to hear lanli's call. She curled up on the ground and cried. The dull and depressing cry was low in her chest. If she didn't get close, she could hardly hear it, but she was full of grievance and vulnerability. It seemed that she could see that the bruised wound was bleeding and helpless.
Langley doesn't know what Betty has gone through, but he knows that Tony chose Betty to play Meredith because they have something in common. Obviously, it wasn't Meredith who had just thrown himself into Henry's arms for help, but Betty herself.
However, she was rejected.
The whole corridor was empty. Lanli didn't see Tony. He raised his chin slightly and penetrated through the window of the classroom. Then lanli saw Tony standing in front of the monitor. Tony was watching the playback attentively. Then he discussed with the photographer about the selection and application of the lens head. He was absorbed in the whole world as if he was the only one left in the world.
This Tony, Langley can't be more familiar with, that is himself.
The line of sight falls down again, and then you see the lonely and helpless Betty. At the bottom of lanli's heart, Tony is an excellent artist, no doubt, but he is not an excellent father. Life is always like this. People are not perfect and omnipotent. Artists who have achieved incredible success in art are often a jerk in their private life.
For example, Marlon Brando is romantic and has many illegitimate children; Another example is Clint Eastwood. During the filming period, he carried his wife behind his back and fought with the director for the sake of the heroine. He even forced the director to leave the crew and take over the director himself. As a result, Hollywood issued the "Eastwood rule" to prohibit actors or producers from taking over the director instead of themselves.
So is Tony. Compared with my daughter, the movie is the most important thing.
In the movie, Henry has to refuse Meredith's help; But in reality, lenley can help Betty, at least give a little support.
So, Langley sat down cross legged beside Betty, didn't speak, but didn't leave. He just let Betty cry and let out all her negative emotions.
The quiet cry in the ear gently reverberated, for a long time, for a long time, as if there are countless grievances want to tell, but do not know how to speak, can only use the cry to express.
Meanwhile, Jeremy came to see what was going on. The crew was ready, but the two actors disappeared. Lanli stops Jeremy with his eyes, signals Jeremy to leave, leaving Betty a space of her own.
Until she was tired and tired, Betty stopped, wiped the tears in her eyes, looked up, and then saw blue Li with a smile on her face, which made her a little embarrassed. She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped the confusion on her face.
Lanli didn't interrupt her, just waiting for her to raise her head again and gently joked, "are you sure you can still cry for the second shooting? This time it's a close-up. "
Pooh, Betty couldn't help laughing.
