Chapter 1447

The next day, the shooting of "pop drummer" went smoothly.

On the third day, the shooting of "pop drummer" continued steadily.

The whole crew is running at a high speed without any accident.

The most worrying Simmons did not fall into the doldrums, quickly recovered, did not lose control because he was too involved in the play, and did not blur the reality because he was fully involved in the play. One night later, his dream woke up and his state returned.

In the final analysis, among those difficult scenes, Simmons is not the dominant one, but the passive one. After leaving the performance environment, he gradually recovered. For the crew, this is a good thing; For Simmons himself, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing is unknown.

As for Lan Li, he is still the most stable and reliable part of the cast.

Because of the disordered shooting sequence caused by the shooting site, the actor must step back from the perfect state of survival of the mad devil and return to the out of control state of being possessed by the devil. For the actor, this is a very difficult step. After all, the actor is not a video tape. To say that retrogression can lead to retrogression, to say that fast forward can lead to fast forward, to adjust his mentality and to control his mood, It's very difficult.

But the fact is that lanli's performance is easy to handle and weightless, and the control and expression are really shocking.

For laymen, the most vulgar expression is "yesterday was a self destructive madman, today is back to the innocent fawn before becoming a madman". Even if they don't understand the context of the role and the power of performance, they can understand the difference between madness and fragility.

For any director, it's very lucky to have such a top actor, especially for a novice director like Damien: in this way, he can spend more time and energy on the aspects of picture composition, shot scheduling and thought improvement.

In just two days, the shooting of "pop drummer" is coming to an end. Today, before tea time, the crew will have only one last play left.

This scene is very special.

After Andrew and Fletcher met again, Fletcher threw out bait to let Andrew pick up the drum again and decided to join a brand new band to participate in the opening performance of JVC Music Festival. This is a step for Andrew to return to life. He hopes that he can really enjoy the happiness and joy of music and temporarily put away all of buddy Ricky and Charlie Parker, I just believe that I have a talent in drums, and I really like them.

Before the show started, Andrew hesitated for a long time whether he should call Nicole. When he decided that he was going to perform on stage, Andrew finally dialed the number and sent out an invitation to Nicole, asking if Nicole would like to come to Carnegie Hall to watch the performance, but Nicole said that she had to ask her boyfriend.

That's all.

Andrew suddenly realized that what he had sacrificed in order to achieve greatness, not only his dreams and hobbies, not only his first love and good memories, but also his once pure and persistent, simple and enthusiastic self, all of which had gone up in smoke, but he could not distinguish clearly——

Does he regret it?

This doubt and dilemma did not immediately find the answer, but later in the stage performance, Fletcher detonated the trap buried in advance, which pushed andretcher to the bottomless abyss completely, which also induced Andrew's determination and ruthlessness. He not only completed the "patricide", but also completely cut off all the involvement and scruples, Completely focused on the drum, everything is just about the drum, which makes him finally usher in a breakthrough in art and achieve perfection.

In the script, Damien doesn't say: is it worth it?

In order to achieve the perfection of art, as Fletcher forced musicians to the extreme, is it worth it? In other words, in order to achieve the acme of art, like Andrew, will love and friendship be cut off, is it worth it? In other words, in order to shine the light of talent, like Fletcher and Andrew, torture yourself to black and blue, is it worth it?

The correctness of these three views is not what the "pop drummer" needs to discuss, and has never been the focus of the film; Damien just wants to present a form or a state of art. At least, this is one of the ways to achieve perfection. Whether people like it or not, agree with it or not, it is objective; And there are others who have succeeded.

As for how people feel, it needs to be left to the audience to judge.

If someone hates Andrew and Fletcher, Damien's goal will be achieved, because he has the same feelings for the original high school band teacher; If someone shows admiration and dependence on Andrew and Fletcher, it also means that Damien's idea is successful, because art itself is brewed in disaster.

Damien chose this play as the ending of the play because of a joke of Simmons.

"Have you ever heard of it? If the final picture of a film ends with the eyes of Langley, then the film can be successful. " "Crazy love", "cancer fighting me", "tomorrow's edge", "detachment"... All of them are like this. Not long ago, I heard that "drunken folk" is like this at Cannes Film Festival. "

It was just a joke, but Damien took it seriously.

The last act of "pop drummer" can't be modified. Damien is inclined to Andrew's drumming, which ignites the whole jazz band's performance and brings the atmosphere to a climax. Then the screen goes black and the movie ends; However, the last scene of shaqing can still be adjusted, so Damien chose this scene.

As a matter of fact, the choice of the play was also agreed by all the crew members.

Because the shooting work is very simple, a single camera fixed lens, big close-up of lanli's face and eyes, and then... There is no other preparatory work to be done. In other words, as long as the director and cameraman set up the camera and set up the microphone, everyone can stand behind the monitor and wait for the end of the work.

It's just a matter of Langley performing, and that's enough.

So, the final scene was decided.

……

The other end of the phone belongs to Nicole's voice, which has been fully recorded before Melissa bynoyst left the cast, and post production can be added; During the live shooting, the one who is in charge of the play with lanli is Wayne, who comes to visit us. At lanli's invitation, Wayne nods and agrees.

"... well, I don't know. I have to ask my boyfriend."

At the other end of the phone came the voice of Nicole's hesitation. Andrew was slightly stunned. Unconsciously, his fingertips were slightly closed. His fingers full of wounds clenched the black mobile phone case. He could still see the blood stains attached to the band aid. He lowered his eyes to hide the pain and confusion, all the anxiety and expectation, all the tension and hesitation All the cheers and worries... All of them are darkened.

"... OK." After a pause of at least two seconds, Andrew squeezed out an "OK" from the bottom of his throat, gently retracted his jaw, and his drooping eyes covered the confusion of his heart. Then he unconsciously added, "yes." It's just an onomatopoeia word. The brain in a mess can't find a more suitable word for a while.

Silence.

Andrew's jaw was slightly lowered, the light was sparse, his long eyelashes were projected on his cheek, and the gray fragility was leaking out bit by bit.

Finally, the other end of the line took the lead. "I'll ask him. But I don't think he's interested in jazz

Andrew raised the corner of his mouth reluctantly. "Yes, of course, not everyone likes it." His hoarse voice choked slightly, so that his words became more and more low. He tried to smile, trying to hide his emotions, hoping to pass the smile on by phone. Don't make yourself sound so miserable.

"..." there was another long silence, and this time Andrew was the first to say, "well, then... Maybe I can see you there."

"Good."

"OK, goodbye."

As the phone hung up, Andrew's smile still kept its radian. He kept this kind of action and quietly watched the front, but the focus and focus had been scattered. The smile was printed on the corner of his mouth like a model. The radian was still there, and the smile disappeared.

That pair of light brown eyes deep, the last little smile so slowly scattered, eyes slowly, slowly dim down, lost and confused, confused and sad, that large gray is dense.

This made Andrew a little embarrassed. He raised his right hand, unconsciously scratched his neck, lowered his head, and tried to sort out his emotions. But when he raised his head again, the sadness and loneliness still lingered. Then he just stared at the front of him. The radiance of his mouth was so bright, but there was no temperature of smile. He deliberately pulled the corner of his mouth, Trying to make the smile brighter failed.

The rising corners of his mouth slowly came down, and his eyes were filled with tears, hazy and fuzzy. But before he had time to gather, he blinked and covered all the water mist. His eyes were dry and calm again. He looked at the front peacefully, just like a calm lake.

The deep surface of the lake, but no one can explore the intricacies under the surface.

Quietly, so quietly.

……

From Andrew to Andrew, from Langley to Langley, they have completed their own transformation and ushered in their own new life. Although they may seem calm on the surface, the essence hidden in the soul is quite different.

He's Langley Sebastian hall. At the end of the line of sight, Chu Jiashu was waving goodbye, gradually moving away; When the line of sight became clear again, he saw Rooney, who was standing next to the monitor and was responsible for the words.
