"Er... What's the matter?" Damien couldn't react at all. His thoughts were still in the discussion just now. Then he saw Melissa and heard a lot of "sorry". The turning speed of his brain slowed down for several times. He looked at Lan Li mistily and cast his eyes for help.
"In short, she tried to create a malicious scandal, which I saw through, and now she is trying to make up for her fault." Complicated things fall on Lan Li's side, but become a very simple thing, just a word.
Make a scandal?
Damien was stunned. He had never met such a thing before. He had just heard about it before. Now it happened in his own crew. He didn't know how to deal with it at all. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't make a sound.
After the shock, the words stammered, "then... What do you do? No, no, I mean, what do we do? Should we... Er... Replace her? Looking for a new heroine? Her behavior is unacceptable, right? That's not true, is it? "
Seeing Damien at a loss, Lan Li could not help laughing and patted Damien's arm. "Don't worry, just be professional. Why fight for a small role? We are still in accordance with the plan to complete the film shooting, there is no need to disrupt the rhythm at the critical moment of the upcoming boot
"But... But how could she?" Damien blinked. He looked like a mess in the wind. After he came back to himself, he was even more angry than the client! How could she! God, she's crazy! You can do such dirty things! Why? Why? "
"Trust me, it's just basic configuration." Lenley was amused by Damien and said with a smile, "let's just focus on our work. As for me, don't worry. I don't think there are any actors in Hollywood who can hurt me now. "
Damien was stunned by the confident and arrogant tone. Then, his helpless smile rose slightly and shook his head. He still couldn't believe that the rumor actually happened around him, and he was one of the leading roles.
"What are you talking about?" After all, Simmons couldn't restrain his curiosity. He ran all the way to Damien and then to lenley. "Why do I think I miss a big event? Please tell me that my intuition is wrong
"Your intuition is right." Damien's reaction was still a little slow, so lanli took the initiative to take the lead. "We were just discussing some details of the shooting. I think the confrontation of some scenes not only needs lines to render, but also needs actions and expressions to fill the whole space. Damien worried that I might not be able to accept some body collisions, but I'm expressing my dedication."
Without hesitation, it was as if Langley and Damien were really discussing this matter just now. They not only mentioned Melissa's matter, but also completely skipped the discussion of "patricide complex" and went directly to another detail to be discussed. It can be seen that Langley was fully prepared.
Damien still didn't come back, but Simmons had already entered the state. "A friend I know once worked as a background in the anti-cancer me. Yes, you don't know him. He is a mass actor..." facing the eyes of Langley's inquiry, Simmons immediately understood the meaning of it. After giving an explanation, he continued, "he once mentioned it, You are a very dedicated actor. You don't need to worry about your professional attitude at all. Do everything as best as possible. "
It's not just a simple way to shave all your hair with a razor, but also a way to lose your concentration and selflessness during the whole shooting.
Simmons has been in the industry for many years, and there are countless characters who have lines, no lines, and no scenes. He is very familiar with many mass actors and Longtao actors, and can feel the traces of experience between the lines.
"With such a high hat on, my tail will touch the ceiling." "I won't worry about the live ammunition in the shooting, but now the question is, can you do it?" he joked with a smile
Simmons couldn't help but take a cold breath and slowly sat down opposite lanli. Instead of answering immediately, he kept adjusting his breathing rhythm. Of course, he knew what Langley meant because he had read the script over and over again for more than 20 times.
A slap in the face.
This is what Langley said. It's not a slap full of dog blood, but a slap full of dramatic tension. In a series of quarrels and pressure, he threw it at Andrew, showing Fletcher's violence and blood incisively and vividly. Even like a tyrant's punishment and outbreak, he let it out to Andrew. That slap condensed too much weight.
Just say it with your mouth: I can throw it down.
It doesn't seem to be such a difficult thing. Just imagine it in your mind; However, only those who have really experienced it can really feel the pressure of face-to-face supporting. Moreover, the opponent's play is still cruel and fierce, which is too dramatic and bloody.
What's more, the object of the play is actually Lan Li. The brain mends and slaps Lan Li hard. At the same time, Lan Li can't resist. Is it exciting or scary?
Simmons's mood is a bit mixed, a time can not fully respond to come over, "of course." Some of the brain can not respond, just subconsciously answered, but then found that their lips are slightly shaking, so that the voice is also a little strange.
Simmons quickly raised his head, and then saw the blue Li with a smile at the bottom of his eyes. He couldn't help but smile, gently shook his head, revealing a sense of helplessness, "blue Li, are you serious?"
"Of course." Lanli replied that, compared with Simmons, the difference immediately appeared, "after entering the role, everything is for the performance, so there's no need to worry too much. We can rehearse for a while. When we put into shooting, we can really enter the role and let it be. "
"I understand." Simmons showed a wry smile, really don't know how to describe this feeling, "but the actual operation is still very difficult, let's have a look at the rehearsal, maybe, after we get familiar with it, we will gradually feel better. That's what drama is, isn't it? Rehearse again and again, until you defeat your own demons. "
Damien, who is sitting beside him, has already reflected and listened to the two people's coming and going. He can't help sketching the picture in his head. "In fact, if there's really no way to start, we can borrow a place. As long as the camera lens is placed at the right angle, the audience can't see whether it's true or false."
"But we can see that." Langley said calmly. Damien and Simmons both cast their eyes. He shrugged. "This play is very important for Fletcher's character building and Andrew's character growth. Besides slapping, there is another scene in which Andrew was scolded to cry. In fact, it's all like this, full of emotion and the tension of performance, It can't be replaced. "
Looking back at the shooting of "buried alive" and "gravity", and then the shooting of "burst drummer", lanli didn't think it was so difficult.
But Damien and Simmons both have a look of consternation. Langley didn't explain much, just said with a smile, "let's start with rehearsal. After the shooting, everything will gradually come together. Now we don't need to worry about things that haven't happened yet."
Damien as a director, after all, the pressure is limited, and soon nodded happily to express his approval.
Simmons was ignorant and muddled. He hesitated in his actions and words, but lanli didn't leave much space and leeway. Then he began to read the script, which made the whole crew slowly enter the state.
The composition of the crew of "pop drummer" is very simple. In order to ensure the authenticity of the shooting, all members of Andrew and Fletcher's orchestra are real jazz musicians, including Turner, the main drummer before Andrew came in. They are 100% professional musicians.
In other words, more than two-thirds of the crew are amateur actors. This also means that it is very necessary to read the script aloud to ensure that the amateur actors can understand the whole shooting process, including the direction of the camera and emotional expression, and can enter the state between the official shooting——
Make an important contribution to the cost saving of the crew.
Of course, the actors outside the band are all professional actors. It includes Austin Stowell, the band's third competing drummer, Ryan.
The only regret is that Langley was looking forward to face-to-face communication with Peter Erskine. This drum player who has won many Grammys is undoubtedly the most top master in the world. Even if Langley only has a short conversation with Peter, it is also a rare learning opportunity for him.
But Peter refused the crew's request to accompany him.
On the one hand, Peter is 59 years old. He has limited physical strength and energy. He has to spend more time on the tour. He promised to dub the "pop drummer" later. He only has one week to cooperate. Now he is on the tour with piano master Yelena eckemoff.
On the other hand, Peter doesn't like the play of "pop drummer". He thinks that the play distorts people's understanding of music. Real music should be joyful rather than violent and bloody. He refuses to come to the cast to avoid negative thoughts and then changes his mind.
Thus, the whole crew put themselves into the script reading and announced the official opening of the work related to "burst drummer".
