"Tom, you're too restless." Lance and Tom stood in front of the monitor. Lance shook his head, obviously not satisfied with Tom's performance just now.

In fact, Tom could also feel that although it was just a few simple conversations just now, he felt very impetuous, which was far from the position of a professional killer. He supported his chin, his eyes flickered slightly, indicating that he knew, but Lance did not give up easily, but looked at him intently, as if he wanted to read more from his expression, "You can cut some small movements..." Lance only had time to say half, and Tom nodded indiscriminately, "I'll try again."

Lance looked at Tom silently for a while. Just when Tom thought Lance would not let him go, Lance looked away, "Okay, then let's take another shot."

Tom stood where he was, took a deep breath, and let his irritability settle down, and then got into the taxi again. But after re-entering the shooting, Tom still couldn't find a suitable method. When the two stood behind the monitor again, the performance still lacked a certain flavor. Waving his hand, "I see, just do it again."

Vincent is a cold-blooded killer. For him, this is a very normal and simple situation. The only thing he needs to do is to calm Max down. Therefore, he should not panic, let alone be irritable, on the contrary , his mood has been very calm.

After adjusting, Tom went into shooting again, but the effect of this shooting was too rigid, looking like a puppet. This made Tom a little depressed. This time Lance didn't give Tom the first chance to speak, and said directly, "In this scene, you should cut down on these details and restrain your emotions as much as possible."

"What do you mean?" Tom asked. Although he tried his best to suppress his impatience, he could still feel his conflicted mood at this time. "Aren't you the one who asked for more details at the beginning?"

Lance glanced at Tom, and gave Percy a look to start the playback, "Look, at the beginning, you don't need to stare at Max, you just need to point your finger at the red street light to remind Max You can just drive. Details such as frowning and staring will reveal your true inner emotions. Also, when someone outside the window is swearing, you don’t have to care. According to the information in my hand, such a person is not worthy of Vincent's attention; and when you mock Max, there is no need to curl your lips, maybe you can squint at Max, or chuckle at yourself..."

In the short scene just now, Tom only had four lines in total, but Lance singled out every line of performance and said it, which was almost useless, which made Tom's cheeks start to feel slightly hot. But Lance still didn't finish his words, "Have you noticed? After the previous conversations, you still asked to go to the next assassination site, which means that the task is the core of your attention at this time, so, you So focus on Max, just don't want him to have an accident, let him refocus on driving, other than that, all your energy is on the task. So, you don't need too much emotional expression .”

After all, Tom couldn't help but said, "But Vincent lost control of his emotions immediately, shouldn't he be a little unstable at the moment?" Then Vincent began to have more conversations with Max. The dialogue showed flaws for the first time.

Lance frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Tom's words, "Vincent's biggest worry right now is the task, and he's thinking about how to cover up what happened just now, and get out as soon as possible before the police/police find out. Complete the follow-up tasks, otherwise there will only be more and more surprises tonight. Under such circumstances, Max's confusion and accusations caused his emotional fluctuations..." Speaking of this, Lance looked at Tom, Slightly retracted his chin, his eyes hinted that Tom should continue what he said, but Tom didn't like the feeling of being treated as a student or a child, so he didn't speak, and in the end Lance could only speak by himself To, "The task is the core!"

Tom's mind suddenly became clear, and Lance connected the emotions of the whole scene with just a few words. It proved once again that, as a director, Lance not only has the ability of scene scheduling and rhythm control, but also has great influence on the performance. has a unique interpretation.

This is a good thing, but Tom is still a little irritable, "But, after those performance details have disappeared, how can you meet your requirements?" Tom pointed to the monitor. Si's performance rhythm has always been maintained at a tight level, but the emotional surge is very chaotic, which completely disrupted his performance rhythm, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help changing the content, "On the one hand, you need to perform Sufficient nuance, on the one hand hopefully not showing emotion, is a contradictory requirement."

Tom doesn't want to show weakness in front of Lance - he has been in Hollywood for two decades, has won three Oscar nominations, six Golden Globe nominations and won three trophies, but what about Lance? "Borrowing Knife" is just Lance's first movie!

Lance looked at the stubbornness between Tom's eyebrows. He actually understood what was going on. Just as he expected, he was forcing Tom out of his comfort zone, so Tom was at a loss. On the one hand, he was unwilling to admit that he However, on the one hand, they cannot keep up with his requirements, so collisions are bound to occur during the shooting.

However, the collision came earlier than expected.

Lance ignored the confrontation in Tom's eyes, turned his head and pointed at the taxi, and said in an understated tone, "Lights." Although Lance would stick to his position and ask Tom to act in his own way; but he at least You can take Tom's face into consideration, so that he won't be embarrassed in front of the rest of the crew. It's all he can do.

Lance turned his head and motioned for Percy to sit in the back seat of the taxi. This made Percy stunned, and looked at Lance with a speechless expression. His eyes were clear and he said "you are joking", Lance There was also a sense of absurdity in the depths, but it was not a joke at this time, so Lance turned to look at Albert, and let Albert sit in the back seat of the taxi.

Albert, who usually had to shoulder the tasks of walking and talking, naturally didn't refuse, and he showed Percy a demonstrative look, which made the corners of Percy's mouth twitch speechlessly.

"You can take advantage of the changing lights. For example, Vincent reminded Max that the light is green now, and you can lean forward slightly..." Following Lance's words, Albert leaned forward, and then he could Seeing his face slowly emerge from the gloom, even though he didn't have any expression, the sharp light that emerged from the gloom made people feel a stab in the bottom of their hearts.

Tom immediately understood, found a suitable angle, and used the light to accentuate the eyes. Even if there is no redundant expression, he can easily show emotions.

"Albert, turn your face slightly to the left-hand side thirty degrees, yes, a little more, and then lean back a little bit, no, the speed is too fast, slow down, slow down again. Okay, repeat what you just said Movement." Pointing to Albert's movement, Lance raised his hands and explained, as if kneading ceramics, "While talking with Max, you can slowly step back and focus on the movement in your hand. According to the data, this emotion came out.”

The so-called performance details are actually very rich, not only language color, breathing rhythm, etc., but also all aspects. Like the part that Albert demonstrated just now, just the movement of the body leaning forward and backward, the change of speed slows down the rhythm of the performance, and then the flow of light is used-especially the taxi in this scene is constantly moving Yes, the light outside the windows is constantly changing, and the lighting inside the car is carefully controlled – this creates details that change moods.

It is conceivable that even if it is an expression of facial paralysis, the delicate changes in the eyes will be magnified to the extreme in the light, and it is easy to show Vincent's inner emotions. More importantly, Vincent's calmness is in stark contrast to Max's chaos, and the outlines of the two characters are outlined with just a few strokes.

Although Tom doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that Lance's control over the rhythm and details of the performance is really amazing. Moreover, according to Lance's shooting method, the actor's performance power can be amplified to the extreme, but the lingering and gentle performance can show a sharp and sharp effect, giving the audience more shock.

Tom let out a long breath, "Okay, I see!" After finishing speaking, Tom ignored Lance and walked straight towards the taxi. Seeing Tom's actions, Percy couldn't help frowning, obviously dissatisfied with Tom, but Lance waved his hand and curled his lips indifferently, "Let's do it again." Percy could only look away.

After re-entering the shooting, Tom was still a little awkward. He didn’t seem to want to act in Lance’s way. He made mistakes three times in a row. This time Lance didn’t exert more pressure because he could feel the performance of these few times. Tom is on the right track. After the fourth time, this short section was finally filmed, but no one could relax, but everyone knew that this short section was just the beginning of this scene. Next, Vincent and Mike This confrontation with Rashomon reveals the topic of Rashomon for the first time, which is the most important thing.

Not only Tom, this is also a serious challenge for Lance.
