Movie Master

After a brief confrontation, Lance and Tom exchanged lively greetings as if nothing had happened.

"I'm already starting to get involved in filming. This will definitely be a very special experience." Tom said something in his words, which obviously hinted at Lance's many requirements, and the filming has not yet started , put forward a lot of requirements, Tom even gave up the right to determine.

However, objectively speaking, if Tom is really dissatisfied with Lance during the filming process, even if the contract does not stipulate the right to determine, Tom can still argue with Lance based on reason, and Paramount standing behind the scenes will be in the end. Who will support, the answer is clear at a glance. This is also an important reason why Tom graciously gave up the confirmation right.

Lance's eyes flickered slightly, he read the irony in Tom's words, and he also clearly knew that the difficulties in the preliminary preparations were just in case, and the real long march had just begun today. But Lance didn't show it on the surface, just nodded with a smile, "There are still a few hours, if you want to turn around and run away, you still have a chance now."

"Haha." Tom was amused by Lance's words, and then he shook his head, "I think there must be someone else who is more nervous than me now." His eyes fell on Lance, which was meaningful.

Everyone should know by now that Lance is about to make his feature debut in "Borrowing Knife." However, in these sights, how many people are looking forward to it with the attitude of watching a joke? Maybe all of them.

Lance shrugged, "There is a first time for everything, and if you shrink back because of the fear of the first time, then maybe you shouldn't be in Hollywood."

These seemingly simple words not only responded to Tom's provocation, but also launched a counterattack-why isn't Tom worried? Worried that Lance's directing ability will not meet expectations, worried that Lance will be distracted by taking on multiple roles at the same time, worried that Tom's own performance will not meet the requirements, worried that this desperate gamble will still fail, worried that he made a wrong judgment, Worried about going to the big screen to challenge the unfamiliar field...Lance is also provoking Tom's courage.

"What do you mean?" Michael asked in a low voice, not understanding the conversation.

Kate only felt that her heart was beating violently, because the main scene today revolved around her and Lance. Hearing the conversation between Lance and Tom, Kate realized that she was about to face a severe challenge, which made Kate feel her stomach started Tumbling, with an urge to vomit.

Hearing Michael's words, Kate froze for a moment, and then realized that Michael had no idea about the cast, "Uh... Lance will play another important role in the movie, playing opposite Tom." Michael He was dumbfounded, "Now everyone is guessing whether Lance is qualified for this role. Because, as everyone knows, this script is not a simple criminal business movie."

To be precise, many people could not understand Lance's choice.

On the one hand, Lance was picky about the acting skills of the actors, and even pressed Tom every step of the way. Before the filming started, he asked Tom to give up the right to confirm and hand over all the initiative to direct the performance. From this we can see , Lance has high hopes for "Borrowing a Knife", and many people think that this movie is likely to become the second "LA Confidential".

But on the other hand, Lance actually chose this work to be his debut as an actor. Not to mention that Lance has multiple roles and is too busy to take care of himself, it is very likely that the work will fail completely. In terms of acting skills alone, Lance is not alone. An actor with a "reputation", Lance is 31 years old this year, but he has no acting experience before. He took on such a difficult role for the first time, and it is still such a "super high standard" work. Being careful could ruin the whole movie, and Lance's decision is completely contradictory.

Terence's mood at this time is very contradictory. He wants to see Lance stumble, and he will appear on the set for the first time today. In fact, he wants to wait to see Lance's jokes; at the same time, he also hopes that the movie will be successful. This work is crucial to Tom's next career planning.

At this moment, George Clooney's mood is much simpler.

"Just wait and see the joke." George said to Ryan Kavanaugh confidently, and Tucker Toure, who was sitting next to him, was also smiling——Jason Berkley was not in the office at this time inside. "I have been most deeply touched recently." George said as someone who has experienced it.

The "Good Night, Good Luck" project was finally officially launched. Instigated by the success of Lance's two consecutive works, George decided to take over the guide himself and play a supporting role in the movie, which means that George is also a director, actor and director. Screenwriter three jobs. But the script for "Good Night, Good Luck" was finished early, and George invited Steven Soderbergh to serve as the producer, and he himself unloaded the burden. But even so, the preliminary preparations still kept George busy.

The project was originally planned to start shooting in August, but due to problems with the construction of the studio, the shooting date has to be pushed back; at the same time, George hopes to use black and white to convey the sense of time, and the camera has also put forward super high requirements. In addition, there have been certain twists and turns in the cast, and it is very likely that the film will not start until October. Therefore, George has more power to speak than anyone else.

"Believe me, even if he is a genius, it is almost impossible to be perfect." George said categorically, he raised his eyes and looked at Ryan and Tucker, "How long have you known him?" It's been ten years? Since when did he show his talent for acting? For God's sake, he's the worst liar I've ever known."

He can't even tell a lie, let alone perform.

Ryan opened his mouth. What he wanted to say was that when he was at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Lance received a lot of praise, which also showed that Lance was talented. But thinking about it carefully, Lance dropped out of school in the end and did not graduate smoothly, and that was already ten years ago. Thinking of this, Ryan's words evolved into, "Of course, he doesn't even have any acting skills. Believe me, even Tucker can act better than him."

Tucker, who was sitting on the side, raised his eyebrows and showed a "doing his part" expression, which made George laugh out loud.

Terence's doubts flashed inexplicably in George's mind not long ago. Terence called him and asked him if he and Lance were 100% close friends, because Terence's sixth sense told him that he could Feel Lance's vague hostility. At that time, George felt that it was ridiculous, so he directly refuted Terence, thinking that it was a non-existent speculation, and Terence did not have any evidence to directly prove this point. As for the sixth sense... In George's view, it was just Terence. His arrogance was at work.

At this time, this kind of doubt flashed through George's mind again. However, remembering that Lance took the initiative to call him last night to ask about his acting skills and experience, although Lance concealed it well, he could still smell the worried vulnerability. So, the doubts were blown away again, and George showed a big smile, "I'll tell you something, Lance called me for help last night, and his trembling voice was like a trembling Chihuahua."

"Hahahaha." The three people in the office burst into laughter.

There was also a tense atmosphere in the crew of "Murder with a Borrowed Knife", and the mixed emotions mixed with expectations and worries made the air agitated. Michael looked at the calm Lance in front of him, and he felt a kind of confidence inexplicably.

Michael knew that he was not familiar with Lance at all, and he had never seen Lance perform on any occasion, but he had a wonderful idea in his heart that Lance was an excellent actor. The "day after tomorrow" public audition scene once again appeared in his mind, Lance's eyes full of meaning, Michael has never been able to forget the exploration and admiration in those eyes, as if he can clearly see every detail of his performance. That's why when he left, he impulsively asked Lance for his opinion on his performance. Unfortunately, he didn't get a single word from Lance.

Faintly, Michael began to jump up, not only because he was going to perform again, but also because he was lucky to witness Lance's performance on the spot.

"I believe him." Michael said in a low voice, but when he raised his head, he found that Kate had already left. After looking around, he realized that Lance had left Tom, turned around and walked over. Kate went up to meet them. Individuals are talking.

Cole came over and patted Michael on the shoulder, "The script practice has begun. The most important scenes today are Kate and Lance's. Are you going to listen in?" Michael immediately nodded excitedly—"The day after tomorrow" There is no script practice session during filming.

The so-called script practice actually means that the actors rehearse their lines against the script before filming starts. On the one hand, they are familiar with the lines and the whole process. Show emotional changes, let the director feel it, and see if the rhythm and intonation of the lines are appropriate.

Whether script practice should be carried out depends mainly on the requirements of the director. Directors who are keen on method-style acting usually conduct script practice several times before shooting to confirm the performance status of the actors and their understanding of the roles. Usually during the filming process of the crew, script exercises will continue between actors and actors, and between actors and agents.

Different from Michael's excitement, Kate was already nervously fainting at this time. The more she understands the script and the characters, the more Kate understands the meaning of this work to herself. Not only Tom, but for Kate, she is always trying to get rid of the shackles of the vase. She does not expect to win the Oscar statuette in one fell swoop like Kim Basinger of "LA Confidential", but at least she hopes Being able to open up a whole new dimension in her career.

Looking at Lance standing not far away, Kate only felt that she was going to be out of breath.
