Betty just sat on her knees, staring at blue Li, then giggled foolishly. After the tense spirit relaxed, the whole body was tired as if it had just finished a marathon,
"It's not good to relax now. The scene is not finished yet." Lanli could feel Betty's relaxation and quickly reminded her. Then he saw Betty's expression of consternation stuck in her throat. The corners of her mouth rose and shrugged, "film industry.". The dream making process is not so easy. When I first filmed, I felt cheated. "
This is another difference between drama and film. When the audience sits in the theater, the whole performance is completed at one go. If something goes wrong, it can't be saved. They can only make mistakes right. So, one minute on stage, ten years off stage; But when the audience is sitting in the cinema, the film is a packaged commodity. One minute on the screen may take hours or even days to shoot repeatedly in real life, so the tolerance space is huge.
Naturally, the requirements of drama actors and movie actors are different.
However, Langley made fun of her in such a disdainful way that Betty couldn't help laughing. The smile did not have time to fully bloom, just stayed in the corner of the mouth, thinking back to the performance just now.
To be honest, she didn't know how she did it. For her, it's not acting, it's actually happening. She looked at Henry's eyes, as if there was a huge force, dragging her to stagger forward, those words, those voices did not pass through the brain, so directly revealed, that kind of despair, that kind of sadness without warning, the whole person completely collapsed.
In the dark, the boundary between reality and illusion no longer exists.
Betty raised her head again and looked at Lan Li in front of her. This is Langley, not Henry. She can feel it“ I don't know if I can do it. " Betty dropped her head and said with no confidence, "it's really difficult to perform."
"Even if everyone is a performer. Pretend you don't care, pretend you're not hurt, pretend you're doing well, pretend you're happy. " Lan Li's words pause slightly, and his thoughts surge in his mind, "pretending that he is not afraid." It's not just about Betty, it's about himself.
At the bottom of his heart, Langley was always in fear. What if he didn't really have acting talent? What if what George and Elizabeth say is true? What if those classic works are destroyed by his bad performance and drowned in the river of time?
Therefore, he needs to work harder and cherish more. Not only for my dream, but also for my life. He didn't want to leave regrets. He also wanted his life to bloom like summer flowers.
"The only difference is that some people hide themselves behind masks, some cleverly put on more masks to hide themselves, and some hide away from their attention in the corner. Anyone who dares to stand in front of the camera to show himself, especially the one who shows his vulnerability and reality, is a performer worthy of respect. " Langley's words made Betty lost in thought, clenched her lower lip and said nothing. "As for whether she is a good performer or a bad performer, it's another matter."
All of a sudden, the language became witty again. Betty couldn't help laughing and looked relaxed.
Betty hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "lenley, can you help me? Help me to play the play well. I want to play the play well. " Such a simple sentence, but spent all of Betty's efforts, just like Meredith to Henry for help, showing her softness and vulnerability to each other, waiting for help, waiting for redemption. This makes Betty's eyes red and nervous again.
"My pleasure." Langley said with a smile, which made Betty's smile bloom wantonly.
After returning to shooting, Langley's condition was as good as ever, and Betty's condition was surprisingly good. Not only the crew found out, but also Tony, who was immersed in the work itself. In the next few shots, Betty showed an excellent performance state, whether in close-up or close-up, even in the face of lenley, she also showed the natural emotional processing.
In a trance, Betty is Meredith, and Meredith is Betty, which is hard to distinguish. In other words, they are the same person all the time.
Although the two actors performed well, Tony has been trying to capture scenes from different perspectives. The scene was shot seven times before and after, and it took nearly an hour to complete.
And then there's Langley and Christina. This scene is Henry's only emotional collapse in the whole movie. Facing Meredith's help, Henry is unable to lend a helping hand. He blames himself. But before he has time to slow down, Sarah begins to suspect that Henry has questioned and condemned Meredith's careless and sharp eyes, which completely angers Henry, All the emotions erupted like a volcano.
This play is out of control, connecting the past with the future. Before the shooting, lenley and Christina spent nearly 20 minutes to communicate and walk. After the shooting, the performance was even more flowing, and the onlookers were even more excited.
Paul is also an eye opener when he stands beside him. This kind of lanli is quite different from the shooting period of "speed and passion 5". His body exudes a kind of shining brilliance, which is different from the usual elegance and calmness, the usual introverted low-key, and the usual humor. What he shows is the glamour of brilliance, which makes people unable to move their eyes.
"If you go on Broadway, I'll reserve a long-term box and invite all my friends to watch." This was the first thought in Paul's mind, so he came to lenley and said so.
It's another two hours. The scene was just finished. Paul has been on the set for three and a half hours. Finally, he has to wait for the break time to meet the protagonist of today's visiting class.
Langley looked up, and then saw Paul's sunny smile, showing a look of surprise, "how are you here?" Before he had time to put the script aside, Paul came up and gave lenley a warm hug. This seems to have become Paul's habit, even if Langley is not used to it, but also helpless.
"Visiting class." Paul sat down next to Langley and handed over his coffee. "Black. I think you have consumed too much energy in the two scenes just now. You need to wake up. Or do you tend to add a little milk? "
"That's good." Lanli took the coffee. "This movie also needs to keep fit. It's better to be thinner."
"You always choose works of self torture." Paul joked.
"It's not true." Langley retorted conditionally that he opened the coffee and put it on his mouth. Without having time to drink it, he seriously thought about the "Pacific War"“ "Buried alive"“ Cancer fighting me“ "Detached"? After thinking about it for a while, Lan Li said firmly, "speed and passion, this work is not self torture!"
Paul did not retort, but he just laughed, a "what you say is what" expression, caused blue Li rolled a white eye“ Well, 'crazy love' doesn't count. In fact, the shooting process of "crazy love" was quite pleasant. " Except for the bad weather in London.
"Don't get me wrong. I mean admiration. I'm worried, but I really admire it. " Paul said sincerely.
Lanli put the coffee cup to his mouth and took a big sip. The bitter and fragrant taste spread on the tip of his tongue.
In fact, for aristocrats, coffee must be drunk in ceramic cups. Plastic cups, iron cups and glass cups are not allowed, let alone paper cups. This is why they don't like Starbucks. But today's coffee is a paper cup, but its taste and aroma are very authentic. Lanli can taste it at once. It's hand ground. It seems that Paul's visit today is sincere.
"You talk like an entertainment reporter." After the coffee slipped into his stomach, Langley half joked.
Paul didn't mind. He chuckled. "I'm serious. When are you going to be on Broadway? No matter what kind of drama it is, I will definitely go and support it. "
"I'll tell the agent. Although I don't think he'll nod his head and say yes. " Lan Li is honest.
Although the Academy favors actors from the west end and Broadway, the overall trend of Hollywood is that no agent wants his actors to return to Broadway. The attention, popularity and economic effect of Broadway are not as good as before.
However, the British Academy actors still maintain such a fine tradition. Every year or every two years, they always return to the west end to perform for a period of time, as short as a month, as long as a year.
Among the three main characters of "Harry Potter", Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint choose this way to polish their basic skills; Emma Watson, on the other hand, chose the path of University, got a diploma from Brown University, and then launched a public relations campaign as a feminist. Just from this choice, we can see that the three people have different positioning for their own actors.
Langley took another sip of coffee, vaguely aware of Paul's face between some thinking, made a joke, "why, do you have anything special to say? You look worried. " Originally, it was just a casual joke, but he didn't expect that Paul immediately showed an embarrassed look, which made Lan Li pick his eyebrows and say in surprise, "is there really something wrong? What can I do for you
