Melissa was so nervous that she was almost nauseous that her eyes began to shake violently. She could not help but try to avoid the sight of lanli, not to mention the sight of each other. Even bathing in lanli's sight was a terrible suffering. The idea of running away from the desolation in her heart was becoming more and more intense, eating her reason bit by bit.
In this play, all the weight falls on Andrew. His embarrassment, his nervousness, his green and astringency form a strong contrast with the following story, which is crucial for the shaping of the role.
But for Nicole, it's not too difficult. Her sweet smile full of youth is her signature. Deep down, she also left an impression on Andrew. Although she didn't like it, she was very willing to go out with Andrew and get to know each other better. In the end, dating is really normal for young people.
Therefore, Nicole is the relatively relaxed side, with relaxed muscles, relaxed expression and relaxed manner. She even had the energy to play a trick on Andrew.
Now, Melissa can't relax. She's as nervous as if the wind up doll has reached the extreme. The wind up is about to break the spring. Her eyes and movements are so stiff that they are far from Nicole's state. She can't even say the simplest lines. This is a disaster.
However, Melissa can't control herself. She looks at Lan Li in front of her eyes. She can't help thinking of the fight five days ago. That kind of fear and fear is eating away all her attention. It's like... It's like stepping on a mine, worrying about its explosion all the time, and not daring to move easily.
Damien's voice came from his ear, and Langley could feel his frustration - because the play was not difficult.
"Damien, give us some space." Lenley turned his head and gave a smile. "Melissa and I need to communicate about how to shoot this scene. We don't need to be too nervous. We just need a little tacit understanding."
Damien is still young after all, inevitably a little impetuous.
What's more, "pop drummer" is an independent work that no one cares about, but now it has become an eye-catching project in North America. Because of the joining of lanli, there are at least 40 reporters gathered outside the shooting scene yesterday and today, which makes people excited.
But after the excitement?
The pressure starts to come in little by little. Now Damien gradually feels the burden on his shoulders, green and stiff. He can't help but feel at a loss. A little wind and grass may touch Damien's sensitive nerves.
"Are you sure?" Damien's subconscious told him that there was no need to doubt Langley's words, but he could not help but blurt them out.
But lanli didn't mind. He nodded with a smile. "I'm sure. Give us ten minutes. "
Damien hesitated for a moment and let out a long breath, "ten minutes."
The crew began to retreat one after another, clearing a space for lanli and Melissa to communicate, and the surroundings became quiet for a while.
Melissa felt deeply that she was going to vomit, and the feeling of nausea was getting more and more turbulent.
Sure enough, whatever she was afraid of, she was left in the same place, face to face with lanli alone, which was like putting her and the shark in the same cage. It's not fair!
What should she do?
What else can she do?
"Do you know what an actor really means?" Blue Li opened her mouth, Melissa could not help but be stunned, and her eyes showed a sense of confusion: such a profound topic? Mindless? What a freak.
Lanli catches the mixed light of Melissa's eyes, but he doesn't mind. The smile at the corner of his mouth still keeps the same radiance. "The actor means that after entering the character's world, we have to leave our personal world out of the camera for the time being and present our life wholeheartedly."
Melissa's face was still blank, completely at a loss; Or the preconceived idea, she always felt that lanli was about to launch punishment, she lost the ability to think, looking at lanli in front of her, she had no other idea except fear.
"It's not just independent movies, it's even romantic or comic movies." Lanli had a smile in his eyes. If it was normal, he would not discuss such a thing with Melissa, because Melissa didn't seem to be keen on it. But what happened in the past few days has affected the shooting of "pop drummer", so he still had to take the initiative to make a voice.
"I mean, even if you hate each other, you have to show deep love when the characters need it. We should not only convince the audience, but also ourselves. It's called acting, it's called professional. " Langley further explained.
For the layman, it doesn't seem difficult to work as an actor. He just needs to stand in front of the camera and perform. That's all, especially in comedies or horror or romantic movies; But the real duty of an actor goes far beyond that.
"Gone with the wind", one of the greatest and most classic works in history, is still the highest box office work in the United States so far if inflation is taken into account. After adjustment, its box office data should be $1.8 billion, which is unmatched; In the movie, Scarlett and Rhett's amazing kiss, until 70 years later, is still one of the most classic kissing scenes on the big screen.
But in fact, when filming the scene, the two actors Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable deeply hated each other.
For Vivien, she thinks that Clark is rude and vulgar, and has a bad temper. She plays big names for no reason. In the process of cooperation, she is tortured by all kinds of people. Even if she is not fit, she still has to stick to hard shooting, which consumes almost all her energy, so that there are signs of schizophrenia. She even complains to the producer and director many times that Clark wants to torture her to death.
For Clark, Vivien is a self-centered woman. At that time, Vivien and Lawrence Oliver were in a heated atmosphere. They were inseparable, so Lawrence just came to the cast and lingered with each other all day. Vivien racked her brains to come up with all kinds of excuses to escape from the cast and get along with Lawrence. It's totally unreasonable for Clark.
At that time, Clark was already a top star all over the United States, and Vivien was just a nobody who had just come to the United States from England. There were more than 1400 actresses competing for Scarlett's role. The producers also conducted a public opinion poll on the choice of actresses. Vivien got only two votes.
It is against this background that Clark refuses to cooperate with Vivien and is picky; Vivien also refused to compromise, but also used Lawrence to put pressure on the crew. Two people really hate each other.
When filming the kissing scene, the two actors were very reluctant. Clark deliberately kept smoking because Vivien thought Clark had bad breath and complained to the producer; As revenge, Vivien deliberately ate a pile of garlic, which was put into shooting. So, it's a cigarette and garlic kiss.
However, this kiss has not been affected to become a classic in film history.
This is the so-called profession.
In the process of shooting, it is impossible to always meet the opposite actors who are co filmed by themselves. If necessary, they even need to fall in love with the actors who have no interest and no idea, and show the appearance of sinking for each other to persuade the audience to believe the whole story and role.
Some people think that this is hypocrisy, so that they think that the actors are hypocrites with masks, which is undeniable; But others think that this is performance. When an actor really enters the role, he will fit in with the role and completely forget his own preferences, and then he will enter another level of performance——
This doesn't prevent actors from almost hating each other when they leave the role.
Lanli needs Melissa to be professional, because for him, opponent play is not a problem at all. He can get into the state completely, but he needs Melissa to forget those troubles for a while and really get into the role. This should not be a difficult thing, nor should it be an obstacle.
Looking at Melissa, who never spoke before, lanliwei flickered invisibly and slipped through a trace of helplessness. He did not have enough patience to continue to pester, because it was not his job to correct Melissa's performance.
"What happened has happened, and I have made a decision. I decided not to pursue this matter for the time being, but to devote myself to the shooting of the work. Don't make me regret my decision, let alone change my mind now. " Langley didn't say anything more. He stopped, then turned around and left the ticket counter of the cinema, leaving the space for Melissa.
This sentence should be enough.
Melissa is not a smart person, but she is not a fool.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lan Li in disbelief: she knew that he was still remembering, that he was still trying to threaten her, that she knew, that she knew!
But what else could she do?
Melissa believes in lanli's ability. If lanli replaces her now, there will be no problem. It's this kind of panic that makes her lose her sense of propriety and unable to settle down and put into the performance. And now? Lanli confirmed her idea, her worry came true, so how should she choose?
Why don't you just turn around and leave?
No, she can't. She spent so much effort to get this chance. She can't let go easily! She must not surrender!
Clench, clench again, Melissa forced herself to straighten her waist. Although she still has no confidence in her heart, she will continue to struggle. This battle is not over yet; This is just the first threshold for her to enter Hollywood. She must stick to it!
Now that we have started, we have to go to the end!
