Chapter 1436

The crew suspended filming, and Damien, Langley and Simmons surrounded the monitor and began to watch the playback.

There is a slight disturbance in the whole Alice Tali hall. Although the content of the play specifically refers to Carnegie Hall, Carnegie Hall, which is full all year round, refuses to rent from any crew. Unless it can make an appointment one year in advance, it will temporarily disrupt the journey. This is the thing that will affect the whole body, So the crew chose to shoot in Alice Tully Hall of Juilliard Conservatory of music.

At this time, everyone is chatting with each other, not only the actors, but also the staff. Everyone is exchanging their opinions. Just now in this play, we can feel a strong force breaking through the shackles and breaking free, but it has never been successful, but no one can explain the details clearly, This also makes everyone's discussion enthusiasm more and more high.

This is the fourth replay.

In fact, what they focus on is about two minutes to two minutes and thirty seconds of content. They change the angle and seat back and forth to watch repeatedly, trying to find out the context——

Actors and directors have different brain circuits and ways of thinking. Directors can immediately edit all the pictures in their minds to become the final film. However, actors can only see the performance tension in the pictures. Therefore, when changing the seats, the connection between different pictures and the context of the story are somewhat separated.

Simmons is still full of fog, the question mark on the forehead not only did not reduce, but also more, he fell into his own thoughts, just like falling into a maze, more and more forks, and finally completely lost.

Damien himself is also carefully thinking about what's wrong, which part of it is. He uses his right hand to support his chin, constantly biting the dead skin on his mouth, accidentally tearing a small hole, and the smell of blood diffuses. But he doesn't care. He gently bites the lip with his teeth and continues to ponder.

"Here, can you play it back here?" Blue Li made a sound.

Is it a breakthrough? Simons and Damien cast their eyes at him at the same time, but he didn't look back. He just frowned and looked at the monitor screen.

"Wait for my cue."

This is the footage of lenley's gesture for playback. Fletcher's command is over, but Andrew is still beating the drum, so Fletcher comes forward to ask what's going on. This is Andrew's answer, followed by a small clip.

Above the screen, Fletcher is retreating, showing a clear look in hesitation, and then comes to the back of the conductor's stand, re conducting the band, waiting for Andrew's instructions.

This short paragraph, blue Li repeatedly watched three times, and then raised his voice and said, "do you feel it?"

"What?" Damien and Simmons looked at lenley in bewilderment. They didn't understand what was going on.

Langley can only explain, "Fletcher gave up too quickly."

"What?" Simmons repeated his doubts again, still did not understand; But this time Damien did not speak, but pondered it carefully.

Langley said patiently, "what kind of person is Fletcher? Absolute strength, absolute hegemony, absolute authority! He does not allow anyone to challenge his position, even if he can meet his standards, because he firmly believes that he is looking for the next Charlie Parker, and no one can challenge him before any drummer becomes Charlie Parker. "

"But... But what if Andrew is the next Charlie Parker?" Simmons understood the meaning of Langley, and then said his own idea, "he noticed the talent and talent in Andrew's performance, so he thought Andrew could become Charlie Parker, so he chose to step back and began to listen to Andrew's command."

"Yes, that's the reason for the final change; But the process can't be so fast. " Langley then explained, "let's see a king who has ruled the kingdom for many years. He knows that he needs to abdicate sooner or later. On the one hand, he looks forward to seeing an excellent successor; But on the other hand, he is afraid of giving up his power and then being surpassed by his successor. What might happen under such circumstances? "

"Crush the heirs." Simmons immediately said, "in the name of tempering successors, he will certainly use all kinds of means to suppress them and make them realize their absolute authority. No one can easily challenge him. Unless he takes the initiative to hand over power, no one can force him."

There are so many such situations in the long history. There is no need to look for myths, but there are enough in the real world. Power can make people blind. In fact, that's what it means. Even life becomes insignificant. What's more, it's just "cheap goods" like family, love and friendship? There are few exceptions.

Lan Li nodded, "yes, that's what it means. If the successor is not tough enough, he will collapse; But if the successor is strong enough, he may continue to build up his strength, patiently wait for the opportunity, and then... "And then overthrow the old king, ascend to the throne and take over the kingdom.

"Patricide." Simmons blurted out, his eyes brightened, and all the thoughts in his mind lit up.

On the first day of the cast, Langley and Damien explored the core theme of the film, but they never told Simon. Instead, they conveyed the transformation of power and momentum bit by bit through the advancement and deepening of the shooting, just like planting a seed in Simmons' heart, waiting for the right time to take root.

However, judging from the play just now, Simmons still lacks a little touch.

In fact, Simmons' sharp and cold-blooded performance quality in the "pop drummer" is largely due to the setting and charm of the role itself. The content he gives the role is relatively limited. This is not to deny Simmons' performance strength, but Simmons' performance talent is relatively limited. When he meets the right role, he will shine brilliantly; However, he is still lacking in using his ability and talent to explore the role.

After "pop drummer", Simmons appeared in a lot of works, but on the whole, he didn't cause too many waves. He is still a familiar supporting role in Hollywood, with more opportunities, but more limited to commercial films. This is the best evidence.

Of course, part of the reason also comes from the performance of lanli.

Because all the details of lanli's performance are presented through the drum, the space for eye contact and dialogue is really limited, and the camera can capture those details; But for the actors in the opposite play, the difficulty of judgment is more obvious. To some extent, the dislocation of the communication link also limits Simmons' inspiration.

Now, after lanli's guidance and on-demand, Simmons suddenly realized that after the most critical piece of the jigsaw came out, the whole blueprint was also presented very clearly.

Then, what would the king choose to do

For the king, even if he knows that he is aging, even if he knows that the successor can achieve greatness, even if he knows that the change of Dynasty is inevitable, he still can't let go immediately, he will let go at the last moment, even if the outcome is doomed, but the king will not give up, at least not so easily.

The king, before abdication, still had the pride of the king. At the moment, he is not a father or an elder, but a master of supreme power.

Fletcher gave up too quickly in this performance.

Although Fletcher has been looking forward to finding out the next Charlie Parker, the premise is that Fletcher and Andrew are already two people who don't like each other. This performance is simply a trap. Fletcher wants to completely destroy Andrew's trap. Now Andrew suddenly gets rid of the shackles and overthrows Fletcher's strength. So, What should Fletcher do?

Fletcher is still struggling, still denying, still fighting, until he finally accepted his life, he raised his hand to surrender, becoming a stepping stone to Andrew's great achievement.

This little change of mentality is exactly the key factor of the imbalance of power in the whole play: lanli's performance is flowing and flowing, which shows the whole process of Andrew's breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, where he completes the accumulation of Patricide; But Fletcher's performance lacks the key part, simple and crude, which leads to the content of the performance and the relationship between the characters into a vague pattern.

Simmons then asked, "well, when should I give up? In these short seconds, is the transition of emotion too full? On the contrary, it is easy to affect the rhythm of the whole play? If I am too deliberate, will it also destroy the rhythm of the performance? "

Maybe Simmons is not a genius, but he is the best actor for Fletcher. For Fletcher's unique understanding, Simmons has his own interpretation, countless thoughts in his mind, he quickly caught the key to the problem——

In this play, too many, cumbersome; Too few, defects. Too much, too grandiose; Too much, not enough. More importantly, in a short shot, he needs to present too much content. Because the weight of the whole play is on Andrew, Langley has enough time to complete the performance, but what about Simmons?

"Let it be." Damien interrupted the conversation. As a bystander, his perception became three-dimensional at this time, and he could see the information that the parties could not capture. "You can pay attention to the performance of lanli. In fact, the details of lanli's performance are very hierarchical, and you can clearly feel the struggles and confrontations that are about to break through by guiding them bit by bit."

"I personally think Fletcher wanted to suppress or fight at the beginning, but Andrew became stronger and better, and gradually..." Damien said, and Simmons' eyes brightened up. "I see!"
