Sammy Gale's eyes are full of confusion. For her, she still can't understand the details and meaning of Renly's performance, and even more can't understand Tony's interpretation and perspective; but at the same time, it is full of excitement, so close When I watched Renly's performance, even though it was an "ng" just now, blood was still flowing quickly, and my whole body was shaking.

Turning his head, Sammy looked at Betty Kaye next to him and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what they are doing?"

Betty's eyes fell on her father, but this was her first time on the set, and her first time on the set. She knew nothing of what was happening in front of her. To be honest, she has no interest in acting at all, and this time she is just here to help her father. But what happened in front of her just now made her a little curious.

Hearing Sammy's words, Betty showed an innocent expression and pursed her lips. Although she didn't speak, her attitude couldn't be more obvious. This made Sammy chuckle, eyebrows and the corners of his mouth raised, "This is really interesting! You say, how will the next filming go?" Imagining that he is about to play against Renly, Sammy is excited. Jump straight to the ground.

She didn't know what was going on, but she knew that Renly and Tony were negotiating the performance, that kind of artistic creation happening right in front of her. This is something that has never been seen on a TV set. So, is this really art?

Sammy was looking forward to it, but Betty was worried. Her eyes fell on Renly again. She was not sure if she could do it well or if she would become a burden. If she became a disaster, then What should I do? But even so, Betty had to admit that witnessing two people discussing art was not as boring as she imagined.

The inquiring gazes around didn't affect Tony and Renly in the slightest, and the two were watching the replay, the twenty-ninth time. Tony watched Renly's performance over and over, over and over, over and over again, looking at it from different perspectives, at different levels.

Brilliant, incomparably brilliant. Gradually, Tony tasted the deep meaning of Renly's performance. Every detail of eyebrows, eyes, corners of mouth, shoulders, and even the posture of standing and the position of the backpack can be carefully felt different. That kind of intense contrast where the surface is extremely normal, but the heart is dead silent, that kind of intense contradiction that is bland on the surface, but the heart is dead ashes, is presented without any traces of carving, but it has already been said. All the vicissitudes.

In just five seconds of performance, Renly gave Henry more possibilities for the role. If it is said that people can appreciate Henry's charm or feel Henry's emotions now, it would be an exaggeration. The time is too short and the space for development is too limited; but it is just a debut, the kind of complicated and The profound introverted temperament leaves countless possibilities and at the same time countless question marks.

Although this is not Tony's expectation for Henry, he also has to admit that Renly's solid basic skills and profound interpretation ability are really eye-catching.

It is a pity that the two people are on different tracks in terms of creative thinking, so that the camera lens cannot capture enough information. It's like in a dance, two people are distinguished from each other, which is wonderful, but the beats of the two people are not on the same channel, which makes the overall performance a disaster, and the wonderful interpretation of the individual is also destroyed. This is a typical case where the whole is inferior to the individual.

Cooperation requires both parties to polish each other and fit each other. Only in this way can it be called a team. Otherwise, even the most talented artist, the teamwork will be a disaster. Today is the first day of "detachment". The scene is relatively simple, but it is also a buffer stage for the two to lay the foundation for cooperation.

In a sense, this is also one of the important reasons why the director chose relatively simple scenes a few days before the start of the movie.

Playing it over and over again, Tony's mind was reimagining the role of Henry, "Why did you choose a cigarette but didn't light a cigarette? Does it have any special meaning?" Tony asked curiously.

"If I say it's just because I don't smoke, do you believe it?" Renly's answer was beyond Tony's expectations, and he couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he looked at Lanli seriously. Li had a serious look on his face, then he smiled and waved his hand, thinking that Renly was joking.

But then Renly's words made Tony's expression stiff, "I'm serious." Seeing Tony's stunned petrification, Renly couldn't help laughing, "After getting off the bus, Henry didn't immediately Entering the school, he stayed on the platform. On the one hand, he was waiting for all the students to enter the teaching building; on the other hand, he also needed a little time to settle and adjust. It was a brand new student and a brand new beginning. In the script Here, Carl's description is: Henry stood by the bus platform, smoked a whole cigarette, snuffed out the butt, turned and walked into the school building."

Even without the script, Renly can clearly retell every entry in Carr's pen, all with everything in mind.

"Then, why?" Renly's rhetorical question made Tony anxious, and eagerly wanted to interject: What's the reason for this? Smoking is prohibited in the school, and Henry needs a little buffer, so he smokes a cigarette at the bus stop, that's all, where are there so many whys, isn't this just finding fault?

But Renly didn't give Tony room to speak, and continued, "I mean, why did Henry choose to smoke? Escape? Paralysis? Habit? Besides smoking, does he drink? What about drugs/drugs? ?" Renly's series of questions calmed Tony down.

Come, be lost in thought.

At this time, Sammy and Betty, who were standing not far behind, as well as the other actors and staff, were all dumbfounded, as if they were watching two lunatic men with abnormal brains: such a conversation, It's really incomprehensible.

"Henry is in a state of despair, and what he needs is not to escape and be numb, but to let himself feel that pain, which can keep him awake. At the same time, it will also be the driving force for him to keep on going, you know, he Still changing schools, still trying to bring hope to more students, and still sticking to the road of education.”

After Renly explained, he ended with a joke, "Of course, the original intention of thinking is that I don't smoke. Strictly speaking, I can smoke, but I try to avoid it."

Tony didn't laugh, but thought about it carefully, "You mean, Henry doesn't smoke or drink?" This is not what Tony is good at, but Renly's words successfully persuaded him that the character's interpretation and the film style, which are two parts that complement each other, "Then why did you choose cigarettes?"

"Or, do you want me to stand in a daze for a while?" Renly's rhetorical question made Tony blink, he really didn't know how to answer, and then he saw Renly smiling and said, "This is just me. He doesn't smoke, but he still habitually rolls cigarettes. Maybe this is a habit he left in the past. When did he quit smoking? Why did he quit smoking? This is a story outside the movie script, but it is an important supplement to the character. "

Tony was immersed in his own thoughts and considered carefully, neither of them said a word, let the silence spread for a moment, and then Tony nodded without much comment, but this action gave enough recognition, " This scene, let's reshoot it again. This time..." Leaving the actor's field, Tony re-entered director mode, "Can you highlight the details of the performance a little bit? No, I mean, you follow the Playing at my own rhythm, but putting it out a little bit, I record the whole situation with medium shots and close shots to see how it goes.”

For the first shooting just now, Tony used all medium shots, and there was a problem with the angle. He used a 30-degree oblique angle to shoot, and the height position was a little bit too high, so Renly's big shot was lost in the shot. Part of the performance, those eyes, those limbs, those changes, completely leaked out.

That's why Tony is so angry, he didn't see enough information on the monitor, he just saw a cool and handsome figure, which is a fatal damage to the overall style of the movie, it seems a little It's not like an art drama movie, it's more like a youth idol movie like "Twilight", as if he should use backlight and soft light to infinitely highlight the handsomeness of the male lead.

But after the exchange, Tony realized that it was actually a communication problem. The deviation of the lens leads to a huge error in capturing information.

Like Renly, an actor who calms down, slows down the pace, and carefully polishes the role, from lines to habits, from expressions to characters, is really precious. Especially considering the strong momentum of the recent summer season, Tony knew very well that Renly was busy with publicity work all day, but Renly not only did not get carried away, but also did not take it lightly. Invaluable quality that cannot be measured.

Now, Tony is sure that he needs to adjust the way he shoots, and Renly needs to adjust the rhythm of the performance, and they need a certain amount of break-in time. That's fine. Today's shooting is relatively simple, and they have enough time to polish it slowly.

"Is the camera moving, or is it still? A close shot becomes a close shot? Or does a close shot become a medium shot?" The time of this scene is really too short, about five to ten seconds, which also makes Renly's performance rhythm to be well-adjusted. , just like the opening scene of "Buried Alive", which only relies on the rhythm of breathing to brew emotions. It's just that "detachment" requires more because there are more elements of performance.

"I don't know." Tony gave a very "Tony style" answer, "Let's try it out. I'll give you thirty seconds, you're free to play, then I'll capture the shot, and then find the right one. Fragment." Tony said casually, and then waved his hand, which was considered a clinch.
