In fact, Jessica is very familiar with the performance style described by Langley, because Terrence Malik is a typical representative of such directors.
Under the lens of Terence, actors often do not know what they are performing, but present an emotion. After the lens is recorded on the film, Terence completes the arrangement and combination, and interprets the effect he expects. Therefore, the actor does not need to dig too much for the role, but simply presents the emotions that Terrence wants to see, which is OK.
Jessica once played the role of "tree of life" directed by Terence. All the actors, including her, were still in a muddle when she finished her performance. She seemed to be able to understand what the movie was about, but she couldn't start the exact description. There was only one feeling left. After the final film was presented, Jessica was able to understand what the movie was about, It's the actors who get it.
This does not mean that the actor's performance has become simple, but requires the actor to have more excellent and accurate control over the emotional manipulation and performance presentation. It's different, but it's also a challenge.
Of course, "Star Trek" and "tree of life" are two different situations, but the director's requirements for actors are similar.
Jessica make complaints about it only by joking and tucking up. But Lan Li didn't feel flustered and answered calmly, "didn't the previous efforts just for the future?"
Lanli's answer didn't have any questions, but it always sounded strange. Jessica frowned slightly. "Are you sure it's not for retirement?"
Lan Li, who was attacked by the anti general, pursed the corners of his mouth and thought about it seriously. However, he found that he could not refute it, so he simply admitted, "why not? Now the whole Hollywood is looking forward to my retirement, and there should be no fewer people who support Meryl's retirement
A joke made Jessica clap her hands and laugh, nodding her approval.
Meryl Streep is jokingly known as the "Oscar cancer". She is nominated almost every year and appears almost every year. She is on the road of constantly breaking records. Every year, some people tease her. They hope that Meryl can retire quickly and make way for the young people. Otherwise, the y-century generation and the Millennium generation will not grow up. Even Meryl herself is teased every year.
Now, less than 24 years old, he has won egot, and has successively ascended the Berlin Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival. It seems that it is time for Langley to receive the lifelong achievement award. There are definitely not a few people in the industry who hold such an idea.
"Oh McKenzie immediately uttered a cry of dismay, "why? Why? Why do people expect lanli to retire now? " The little girl couldn't believe her eyes and said, "isn't Lan Li's career just started? So far, there are no more than ten works in which lanli plays. Shouldn't we wait until we have played a thousand to discuss retirement? "
"A thousand?" Timothy choked on himself and coughed violently.
Even if there are 20 films a year, it will take 50 years. If we can really achieve this goal, Langley may really become a vampire.
The romantic words that day made Lan Li chuckle, "Wow, that's a very, very distant goal. But I promise, I'll try. "
"Believe me, I'm serious!" But McKenzie didn't mean to joke at all. He blinked and said attentively, "no matter what role you play, I'll go into the cinema and watch it! certain! Sure! Absolutely
Jessica looked at lanli with a playful face, which made lanli gently sip the corners of his mouth, and the smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes. Then he said solemnly, "well, you have to start working hard now." What do you mean“ Otherwise, the ticket and popcorn of a thousand films will cost a lot of money. "
Jessica and Timothy clapped their hands and laughed happily. It was always the same with Langley, full of surprises.
Mackenzie was stunned, and then he reacted. His cheeks were flushed and he hid behind Jessica.
Just after entering the room, Anne Hathaway went to the bathroom. When she came out again, she saw the scene in front of her eyes, with a big smile on her face. "Wow, it seems that I just missed something important. Do I need to feel uneasy and nervous now?"
"Don't worry, you're from another team. Things here won't affect your exploration." Jessica said in a pun.
In the movie, Cooper and his family are one line, while Cooper and his crew set out to explore space is another line. Jessica belongs to the former and Annie belongs to the latter. According to the plan, there is no intersection between the two lines. What they have in common is just lanli. In the process of shooting, the chance of two lines crossing is also very slim.
In fact, Annie and Jessica don't need to come to the set for today's opening ceremony, because they don't have a part in the film, and Annie doesn't even need to come to this shooting base for the whole work. In other words, the present encounter is unexpected.
In the face of Jessica's ridicule, Anne's reply is full of wit, "no, I'm looking forward to him taking us home." Yu Guang's eyes indicated Lan Li's position. "So, it's better that everything is OK here, otherwise I'm not sure my husband will make any drastic moves. He's a guy who works with drills. "
From the plot of "Star Trek" to the situation of real life, Jessica and Annie are full of playfulness, and things suddenly become light and funny.
Lan Li closed her jaw with a deep meaning, and her eyes also showed a smile; But Timothy and McKenzie are confused. They only know what seems to be laughing now, but they can't keep up with the rhythm at all. They can only sit by and stare. However, Timothy still laughs foolishly, even they don't know what they are laughing at.
After a while, the actors and crew arrived at the shooting base.
Because the filming of "Star Trek" is very complicated, Christopher has to break the timeline and complete all the shooting work according to the shooting location
In Alberta, Canada, Cooper's home was filmed, where Murphy and Tom completed most of their plays in their childhood and middle age; Iceland, where the other planets in the universe are photographed, is where Cooper and the fleet's interstellar exploration is completed; In Los Angeles, the interior scenes of the space capsule, the space black hole and the future new earth will be completed in the studio.
This is the shooting process of modern Hollywood commercial films.
In other words, all Timothy and McKenzie's scenes will be shot in Alberta. After that, their work will be finished; All of Jessica's plays are in Alberta and Los Angeles, while Anne's plays are in Iceland and Los Angeles... Every actor just needs to show up in his corresponding shooting base.
If it's a marvel movie, all the works are shot on the green screen, and the co actors don't meet from beginning to end, this is also a very normal situation. In view of the fact that stars gather and big brands gather, it is extremely difficult to adjust the schedule. On the contrary, green screen shooting can strive for more free creative space for the film crew.
So, except for Annie, Matt Damon, Ellen Burstyn, Bill Irwin, etc., who didn't play in Alberta, didn't come to the set; In addition, although there are scenes in Alberta, but the first week does not need to appear Cassie Affleck, Michael Kane also did not appear.
The only exceptions are Annie and Jessica. After Emma Thomas arrived at the crew, she said, "it seems that your recent work arrangements are relatively relaxed." It made everyone laugh.
By the time Christopher Nolan arrived at the cast, the bustling atmosphere had lasted for a long time, and there were countless staff who came here to get close to Langley, which made Christopher slightly stunned. "I remember that I didn't need so many staff on the first day."
All of them tried to hold back their smiles and made it clear.
Christopher didn't pursue further, indicating that everyone could continue and didn't need to take care of his appearance. Then he saw Lan Li standing in the crowd at the first sight, his face brightened up, and went straight over, "Hey, Mr. box office, congratulations on the box office success this time. Now many people think I've made money."
The noise of the scene stopped for a moment. It was so quiet that Christopher was frightened. He couldn't help looking around and wondering what happened; Then, everyone in the audience took a picture of a burst of laughter, and lanli gently raised his jaw in the direction of Emma Thomas, with a proud smile in his eyes.
It turned out that when Emma arrived at the scene, she also congratulated Langley, and said that Thomas tour gave up the idea of visiting Alberta photography base, "maybe he doesn't want to face you now."
Instead of paying attention to Thomas Toure, Langley started Emma's joke: "everyone at the scene, I am the literal meaning, and everyone expressed their celebration to me. God, now I really understand the importance of box office numbers. "
Emma is also dumbfounded, but she thinks that Christopher doesn't care about the box office figures, and certainly won't be as "conventional" as she is; Lanli said he didn't believe it, so they made a half joking bet. Unexpectedly, Jessica and Annie joined the gamble one after another, and then other staff came to join in.
In fact, the so-called bet is one dollar per person. The person who wins the bet will be responsible for this afternoon's tea.
Now, the answer is out.
Christopher didn't know why. At last, his wife came over and explained in a low voice. Then he saw that Christopher was still confused. "Shouldn't we celebrate?"
The laughter became more intense.
