Chapter 2460

"Nervous?"

"A little bit."

"That's a good thing."

"I guess so."

Rooney and Langley are talking, but the slight difference is that this is the first time Rooney has seen Langley show a nervous look before the performance.

For Lan Li, performance seems to have become a habit, rooted in the blood of the habit, handy, easy habits, like breathing, is becoming an instinct, but also a part of daily life, wandering in the performance world, looking for ways to break through barriers, and then break, transmute, sublimate.

Now, however, lanli needs to find the impulse and enthusiasm of acting again. The feeling of tiredness and alienation is very painful, even more painful than he thought. It's like getting used to walking, but one day he has to learn from the beginning. The frustration is enough to destroy the idea of standing up again.

So, some people choose to give up, and many.

Lanli is not sure whether he is willing to give up, but at least he hopes to have a rest for a while, and then he can pick himself up and catch up“ However, the appearance of "soul Hunter" broke such a pattern. David Finch and Rooney Mara persuaded him to change his plan and meet the challenge.

Nevertheless, that kind of pain and suffering will not decrease, on the contrary, it may become more severe because of rushing into battle.

From the beginning of entering the "soul Hunter" drama group, Rooney has been with lanli. She can feel that lanli gradually relaxes and learns to enjoy the speculations and exchanges in daily life; But practice is one thing, actual combat is another, lack of enthusiasm and direction of the blankness to turn up again.

Then the tension followed.

Realizing his embarrassment, Lan Li chuckled. "Do you know when was the last time I felt nervous because of my performance?"

Lu Ni looks at Lan Li, does not speak, but is quietly waiting for the answer.

"Never." Lanli gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

Rooney chuckled. "Well, you're probably the only one in Hollywood who can be so arrogant but can't talk like that."

Blue li himself also laughed a voice, "but this is a fact."

In the past, the performance was so simple and so wonderful. All those tense emotions evolved into expectation and excitement. Even in the face of severe challenges, they still could rush forward at full speed. They really felt nervous, so nervous that they were a little flustered. Today is the first time.

"Maybe that's a good thing." Blue Li's vision fell in the eyes of Rooney, "from the beginning, from a new beginning, tension also represents expectation."

Lu Ni can catch the shallow smile deep in Lan Li's eyes, with a little ridicule and lightness, reflected in her eyes, also followed by a smile, "do not consider the mood of the audience, in front of me to discuss' from the beginning ', then what should I do? Do you start with basic skills? "

Lan Li just gently raised her eyebrows and didn't deny - in fact, she was sure.

Lu Ni can't help biting her lower lip and staring round eyes to express strong protest to Lan Li. Then she can see Lan Li shaking her head and saying, "it's never too old to learn. It's very reasonable to say that."

"Ha. Ha. Very right. " "A foxy smile make complaints about her," she said, and then she left a sentence with a note of "I kept you study hard." with a "ghost drift" movement, she left, and the action was really hilarious.

Blue Li's eyes flashed a thick smile, nervous mood also slightly relaxed a little bit, but then attention back, again nervous——

He needs to tighten himself up, only in this way can he enter the role completely, and the lack of concentration is also one of the problems at this stage. Therefore, tension is actually conducive to maintaining his attention - "tension in a relaxed state". Seemingly contradictory words are not jokes.

At this time, the whole crew is preparing in an orderly way to shoot the first scene of "soul Hunter" and announce the official start-up.

Similar to the "Pacific War", the first season of "soul Hunter" has a total of 10 episodes, but it has many directors. David finch will be in charge of the first two episodes and the last two episodes, and the middle six episodes will be assigned by three directors respectively.

The reason for this is not complicated.

Public TV series are often long, 24 episodes in a season, and may shoot five, ten, and fifteen seasons. The director can not be tied to one project for a long time, and the heavy shooting task needs to be allocated; Moreover, TV plays are all shot and broadcast at the same time, and the time is very tight, which also requires the cooperation of many directors.

Finally, there is another reason. The real core of a long drama is the screenwriter, and the screenwriter team is the most important part; The director is more like a wage earner. He only needs to do simple work, and there is not much room for him to play. This also makes the director's position more likely to change and replace.

But now limited series are gradually emerging, including cable TV and Nafi, who are beginning to follow the example of British TV and shorten the length of the whole TV series. Maybe a TV series has only two or three seasons, and then each season has only six, eight or ten episodes, and then the ending is announced.

In addition to the above reasons, the most important reason is the improvement of the quality requirements of the limited series. The series also need to have the film quality - shot scheduling, picture composition, post editing and so on, which puts forward higher requirements for the director.

This also means that the director is no longer a simple job, they also need to spend time and energy from the composition of the picture to conceive the whole drama.

Well, a movie only takes two hours; A series may take six to eight hours, and the second and third seasons need to be considered. The director's energy consumption is amazing, division of labor is the right choice; Of course, the unity of style has become another problem.

In recent years, TV series directed by famous directors have become popular. Martin Scorsese directed "Atlantic Empire", David finch directed "house of cards", Cohen brothers directed "ice blood storm", Quentin Tarantino directed "crime scene investigation: Las Vegas"... And so on.

But the number of episodes they direct is often one or two, not much.

On the other hand, the Russell brothers and JJ Abrams, directors with TV background, have also won the opportunity to direct commercial blockbusters. As for the difference between TV director and film director, this is another matter, which is still the focus of controversy in Hollywood.

At this time, David finch is preparing to direct the first episode of "mind Hunter".

For David, this is no stranger. Previously, in the "house of cards", he cooperated with Kevin Spacey, Robin white and other excellent film actors; Not to mention that David himself was born to make music videos - although TV series and movies are different artistic carriers, David's ideas are very clear, and he clearly knows what he should do.

"Lan Li?"

David quickly steps towards blue Li, with the light of inquiry in his eyes, trying to confirm the state of blue Li.

If it's normal, David knows that he doesn't need to worry about these characters at all. He just needs to concentrate on his directing work; But it's an extraordinary time. Even if it's not a problem for Langley to cope with the play, David still needs to confirm Langley's state in person.

David understands that the dilemma of the trough period, many things are not transferred by the will, and the sensibility that cannot be controlled by the reason can make an impact all the time. But as long as he can break through, the pleasure and happiness that rush out of the water will be multiplied. He has experienced it twice, and he hopes that Langley can stick to it now.

Lan Li didn't answer. He just took a long breath and took a deep breath. Then he nodded to show that he was ready.

But David did not turn to leave, but stood in the same place, still watching with concern——

The choice of the first scene is the result of the communication between David and Langley.

In fact, in the process of shooting TV series, many parts are relatively simple, because its capacity is larger than that of movies. On the one hand, it does not need to be careful about every picture like movies, expecting to convey accurate information; On the other hand, it needs to fill in more content according to the rhythm of the TV series, including the in-depth description of the main line and branch line, which also makes many scenes less elaborate and the performance difficulty is relatively low.

If he wants to, David can choose a back or a side face as the first scene, and then pass it smoothly, making a good start for the TV series.

However, after discussion, lanli and David chose a relatively lengthy and challenging part as the opening of the whole TV series.

David still hopes to confirm with lenley again. If lenley doesn't feel good, they can adjust at any time.

Lanli quickly caught the meaning from David's eyes. He looked up at David, then quickly lowered his head, and then nodded gently, "... Good. I'm fine Everything is fine. never mind. Let's start now. I'm ready. "

Gentle tone with a little formality, clear pronunciation slightly stiff, even if the speed is too fast, but still can accurately capture every syllable.

No need to say more, David knew that Langley was ready.

As a result, David did not ask any more questions. He turned and raised a "OK" gesture to indicate that the crew could work. Then he quickly walked to the monitor, where he could see Wayne, who was a little nervous, and Cameron and Hannah, who were full of expectations.

David nodded to Rooney, which made her breathe; Then David stood at the back of the monitor and made a ready move to the recording.

Chang Ji came to the camera with a recording board. There was a complete silence in the whole classroom. All the actors and workers could not help holding their breath. The air congealed unconsciously, and all their eyes fell on Chang Ji

"The soul hunter, the first episode of season 1, the 36th scene, the first shooting, shooting!"
