Chapter 1392

Looking at the professional musicians chirping, gossiping and talking, Austin felt powerless.

Now he finally understood why the top actors need to have cars to isolate themselves from the masses and enjoy a relatively independent space. It can be considered that they are playing big names, but it can also be considered as a necessary means.

Because the mass actors and dragon performers are still outsiders outside the vanity fair after all. When they pry into them, they are inevitably curious and excited. There are countless positive and negative reactions, good and bad; In the hustle and bustle, the negative impact is inevitable, not to mention whether it will affect the preparation work and performance rhythm of the actors, but it is certain that the actors can never have a good rest.

Standing under the magnesium lamp, the scenery is boundless, but behind must shoulder the huge pressure. Every step forward, will only be more and more difficult, just like Michael Jackson in general, really feel the lonely and lonely height, a little bit not pay attention to it may be broken to pieces.

After making history to include the egot Grand Slam, Langley has also become the target of such criticism. Those envious, curious, disdainful, excited and expectant eyes are everywhere, like a net, there is no chance to escape.

However, no one knows what it's like to really be in the middle of it. Even speculation and suspicion can't find the entrance, because lanli is the only one who has reached such a high level of history.

With a breath, Austin looks anxiously at lanli in the distance. I don't know if lanli can devote herself to the next scene. Although he knew that he was just a little actor, he had no responsibility and no right to worry about lanli; But at this time, it's hard to avoid some sighing.

Immediately, Austin felt a line of sight, it was Nate's.

Nate's eyes were a little helpless, but he did not speak, but his expression clearly expressed the meaning, as if to say: layman watching, it is more and more lively.

Both of them chuckled, and then looked at Lan Li at the same time. It's hard to tell for a moment what the emotion is. After all, they haven't cooperated with lanli.

Unlike Michael Douglas, Matt Damon and other well-known senior actors, the time that lanli appeared in front of the public eye was too short, and the news was too rare, more or less covered with a veil of mystery. After going through egot, this veil seemed to become more hazy. It's curious and alienating.

"Ready? Five minutes later, we started shooting. "

The voice of the drama started to ring, and the figures who were discussing with each other stopped their actions and pretended that nothing had happened. But the sight of Yu Guang was always focused on Lan Li, curious about what happened next. Unfortunately, nothing happened——

Lan Li is still sitting on the chair, still reading the script, still lost in thought.

Maybe, in five minutes, you can see a different face.

The next play is the most difficult and important one since the whole crew started shooting. All the focus is on Andrew and Fletcher. For Fletcher, this is the key part to establish the character image; For Andrew, this is a complete change in the fantasy of a turning point, and even change the character of the first step.

It's Andrew's first day in the band.

Andrew listens as a backup drummer, and then he sees Fletcher's sensitivity and fastidiousness. He can even clearly capture any weak flaw, from quarter beat to eighth beat, and accurately find the wrong person in the whole band; What's more terrible is that the person who made the mistake may not realize that it has become a "crack on the perfect porcelain" and may become the object of Fletcher's humiliation at any time.

In the baptism of vulgar language, Fletcher was stunned by the cry of the band's trombone, and completely collapsed. Finally, the trombone was swept out of the house.

In fact, it was not the trombone who made the real mistake, but someone else. However, in Fletcher's view, the psychological quality of the trombone is so bad that there is no need to stay.

As an onlooker, Andrew is completely stupid in such a shocking education. Before the joy and happiness of joining the band have settled down, he has begun to worry about his future, because Fletcher said that after the rest, he will be the main drummer to join the ensemble. Does this mean that... His strength will be exposed?

Andrew remembered that in the ordinary band, all his teammates thought he was not as good as the main drummer, and even make complaints about him.

The feeling of self abasement seized the heart firmly. Andrew's fingertips were shaking.

Before the end of the break, Fletcher took Andrew, who was not at ease, and completed a warm conversation. He also encouraged and cheered him with his teachers and friends. He even inspired Andrew with the story of Charlie Parker, which made Andrew's confidence gradually rise.

He's just a kid who just left high school. He's only 19 years old. He's the youngest member of the band ever, setting a new record.

A little intimidate, he may lose heart; With a little encouragement, he may have a bright spring. He thought Fletcher looked at himself with new eyes. He thought his shining point had been caught. He thought he was special, just like the "son of heaven". He thought he could be buddy Ricky and Charlie Parker.

So Andrew walked confidently into the rehearsal room.

What happened next was the next scene.

In this rehearsal of Andrew's debut, Fletcher chose "whiplash", which can be understood by jazz fans. It has multiple meanings.

First of all, "whiplash", which is the name of the film, literally means whipping or twisting, but according to the artistic conception of the film, it is translated into "pop drummer".

Second, it's a real track, created by Hank levy, with a unique modern style.

Third, it's a word to describe a strike technology. In the movie, Fletcher and Andrew are in the pursuit of 400 hits. One of the jazz drum techniques is called "Moeller technique", which is the height pursued by countless people and is specially used to improve hand speed. One of the most important movements is called "whiplash".

Finally, "whipping" also metaphors Fletcher's educational ideas and methods.

In other words, from the title of the film to the protagonist's appearance, Damien buried a series of colored eggs and refined the core idea of the whole film, which also made the importance of the play rise sharply.

In addition, it is a detail that lanli understood after learning the drum“ The track "whipping" is 148 beats, which can also be roughly understood as seven beats.

Generally speaking, two or four beats are well-known rhythms. For example, lanli's introductory learning process, from 60 to 120 to 180, is an extension of the whole beat based on two beats, and the sense of rhythm is relatively easy to master; However, seven beat is an irregular rhythm. For drummers, it needs to be based on more understanding and technology, and the difficulty has doubled.

Fletcher chose "whipping". First, from the profile, we can see that the band's benchmark is high, which is not at the same level as the ordinary band practice that Andrew and Turner had been in before; Second, the profile highlights Andrew's nervousness. After the tragic dismissal of the trombone, he can't make any mistakes now.

During the break, Andrew kept marking "2 + 3 + 2" on his score. In other words, the first beat was two, the second beat was three, and the third beat was two. This put forward higher requirements for the drummer's technique, and at the same time, he had more uniform and steady control.

Only when we really understand Andrew's situation and Fletcher's intention, can we figure out the mood and emotion of the play, and can we really integrate into the whole film.

Five minutes is enough for Langley.

Because his preparation began long ago. During his lunch break, he only speculated about the details of his emotions repeatedly. He was completely immersed in Andrew's world, from expectation to fear, from impatience to elation, and then to slap in the face. The changes in his emotions were not gradual, but ups and downs, Even more exciting than bungee jumping.

"... blue gift?"

Damien was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to interrupt the rhythm of lanli's preparation. He stood by and scratched his ears. After all, he didn't hold back and called carefully.

Without stopping, Lan Li stood up, showed a shy and nervous smile, and walked to the position of drum. It's like Andrew Neyman.

Inspired by Fletcher, he believes that he is unique and has unique characteristics. This is why he joined the band. What he needs is not fear and fear, but relaxation. Just relax and complete the performance according to his own style.

All the members of the band are watching him, a 19-year-old rookie who has just joined the band.

But Andrew was not afraid at all, because he believed that he could make a big difference.
