Paul's visit didn't look like a visit from a big-name actor at all. The crew greeted Paul cordially and hilariously, thanking Paul for his gift. The atmosphere at the scene looked like tea during work hours. In general, coming and going, bustling, chatting and chatting casually, relaxed and comfortable.

Nathan heard Seth Rogen mention it when he was filming "I'm Fighting Cancer" before. When he was recording for "Kung Fu Panda", Brad Pitt came to visit Angelina Jolie's class. , that is the real "Tianwang style", calling forward and hugging back, calmly, it doesn't look like a crew, but more like a fan meeting. So much so that their work had to be interrupted for two hours.

Today's Paul is very approachable. After politely greeting the main management personnel of the crew, he stood aside as much as possible to avoid disturbing the work order at the scene. Occasionally, a staff member walked over and chatted with Paul standing beside him. Talking about Renly's dedication and professionalism, both sides felt the same way. Paul shared the interesting anecdote of the filming of "Fast \u0026 Furious 5", and the staff shared the interesting anecdote of the recent filming of "Transcendence". It seems that Paul is more like Renly's Agents, specializing in visiting the crew, revitalizing the relationship between the actors and staff in their own homes.

Fifteen minutes after arriving on the set, under the guidance of the production manager Jeremy Marks, Paul found Renly who was reading the script in the classroom. However, there is no time to go up and say hello, because the next scene is about to start filming.

Paul found that Renly prepares very differently for commercials and art films.

When he was on the crew of "Fast and Furious 5", Renly also spent a lot of time reading the script, but in comparison, he spent more time on communication, communicating with the opponent's actors, and coaching martial arts. Communication, communication with the photographer, communication with the director, he has a very keen touch on the editing and positioning of the lens, which enables him to quickly enter the state after the shooting starts.

But today, on the set of "Transcendence", Renly was reading the script from beginning to end, reading the script aloud, and even asking Nathan to talk to him about the script, in addition to spending a lot of time thinking. , thinking back and forth about every part of the next scene. Totally engrossed in it, it can even be said to be completely self-absorbed.

Paul thinks this is a very interesting thing, he does not understand, because the content of the script is limited, even if you read it many times, the font and content will not change. Of course, he also knows that his acting talent is really limited, and his incomprehension is really normal. He couldn't help but remember that when he took acting courses in Los Angeles, the teacher once said that traditional academic performances have very strict requirements for script skills——

Not only do they need to read the script, recite it, but they also need to understand the script. Before preparing for a play, just reading the script includes background investigation, data collection, character interpretation, and self-positioning.

For them, the script is the root of all performances, which is one of the important reasons why British films are always easy to produce excellent scripts. On the contrary, in Hollywood now, the excellent script is often the structure and the story to win, but the foundation of the lines has almost disappeared, or in other words, it did not exist at all.

So, is Renly from the Academy?

While thinking about it, Paul saw the scruffy Tony Kaye striding out of the teaching building, waving a hand, and then the recorder ran right in front of the camera, and the voice of the entire crew disappeared instantly. , everyone cast their gazes attentively.

Involuntarily, Paul also held his breath.

Just as the on-the-spot recorder was about to play the board, a figure suddenly pushed open the classroom door, stuck out a head, and broke the stance that was ready to go. It was a girl with fluffy yellow hair, she nodded jerkily at everyone, expressed her apology, and then trotted in front of Renly and communicated in a low voice.

It was a completely unfamiliar face. Paul had never seen it before. He didn't understand what was going on. The staff next to him explained, "That's Betty, and the next scene is her and Renly's match." Paul Suddenly, he glanced at Tony, who was standing not far away, from the corner of his eyes, but found that the director didn't care at all and was confirming some details with the drama management.

This kind of shooting atmosphere is really... relaxed and free, but, at the last moment before shooting, did Betty have anything to do with Renly?

Renly had the same question, but he was not in a hurry, just smiled at Betty Kaye in front of him. Although he and Betty are not friends, outside of filming, the two hardly ever talked, but from the usual clues, it can be seen that Betty is an introverted and quiet personality. Will take the initiative to talk to him, let alone interrupt the rhythm and run in before the official shooting.

Betty bit her lower lip tightly, looking at Renly in front of her, not knowing how to speak.

Betty is not a professional actress. To be precise, she has no interest in acting at all. If her father hadn't driven the ducks to the shelves, she would never have stood in front of the camera lens. She didn't think it would be a disaster if anyone wanted to see her fat body on the big screen.

Since the start of "Aloof", Betty has gone through almost all the mistakes that a novice can make. Even in the simplest scene, without any lines, she may make mistakes, which makes her more and more nervous. cross

The more nervous it is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the more mistakes it makes, the more nervous it becomes, forming a vicious circle. The most basic scenes of a scene have to be shot more than three times.

Even the simple scenes are like this. Today's scene made Betty even more nervous. Because she was too nervous, she hadn't had a good night's sleep since five days ago. She read the script over and over again. Reading, she would feel a nausea, just want to vomit, but can't vomit anything.

This scene is the most emotional, full and release scene of Meredith in the whole movie. After hesitating for a long time, Meredith decided to seek Henry's help, like a drowning man, hugging the last driftwood, but she was rejected, and she was also caught by another teacher, Sarah. Ashamed, Meredith collapsed completely, fled, and finally embarked on the road of no return to self-termination.

In this scene, Meredith went from shy to sad, to urgent, and finally to collapse. The emotional ups and downs were like the end of the world, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Betty was worried that she was going to screw up, no, she knew she was going to screw up, and she was sure she was going to screw up. So, she needs a little help. Really ironic, isn't it? Meredith needs Henry's help, and she needs Renly's.

"I..." Betty just spoke when her voice got stuck in her throat. Tony was here just now and she didn't dare to speak. Now it was only her and Renly, but she didn't know how to speak.

Emboldened, Betty raised her head to look at Renly, and then saw those dark brown eyes, deep and bright, full of focus and sincerity, recalling the previous thing Renly directed Sammy to perform, and got a little bit of it. Courage, and then took a deep breath, "I don't know how to act. I don't have a clue, this scene is so difficult, I don't even know how to start."

Renly pursed his lips, his eyes showed a trace of thought, without making a fuss, he just asked in a deep voice, "Do you know why Meredith came to Henry?"

"..." Betty shrugged, "seek help."

"If you were going to ask for help, who would you turn to? I mean, in real life." Renly's question silenced Betty, keeping her mouth tightly shut, averting her gaze and refusing to communicate. He didn't care, and continued, "It's the same for Meredith, it's not easy to ask for help, because we need to admit that we are weak, admit that we are helpless, and sometimes, we need to open our hearts and put our best The soft parts show."

Betty slowly raised her gaze, glanced at Renly from the corner of her eye, and carefully groped for Renly's expression.

"Merredith mustered all her courage, found Henry, and asked for help. Not only because she believed in Henry, but because she saw herself in Henry," Renly continued, and Betty chimed in with her coaxing words. "And she fell in love with Henry."

Renly smiled and pulled his chin in affirmatively. This is Betty's interpretation of Meredith's character, not Renly's, which is a positive sign that Betty and Meredith resonate. When Tony chose these student actors, they all started from their true colors. They didn't need their superb acting skills. They could just be themselves in front of the camera. Obviously, so did Betty. .

"But Henry refused." What Renly didn't say was that Henry was now unable to protect himself—

After what happened to Erica, he has been trying to keep his distance from all the students; before Meredith came to him, Henry's maternal grandfather died, and the secret about his mother was completely revealed, and he was deeply moved. Trapped in a quagmire of grief, unable to extricate himself. This time, it's not just despair, but sadness and loneliness. Therefore, he has no way to help Meredith, he is running away, he is retreating, and he is also refusing.

"For Meredith, this is a step of her courage, and it is also the last straw." Renly said softly. As an actor, he has read the entire script and analyzed each character, so, He knew, but Henry didn't.

Looking at those deep eyes, Betty suddenly felt a strong sadness surge up, she directly covered her mouth, resisted her emotions, and didn't let herself collapse, then nodded, trying to say something, but in the end Nothing was said, just turned around and left the classroom, and then her voice came from the corridor, "I'm ready."
