On the set.

“Cut！Cut！Cut！”

Director Clint rang out behind the monitor with an angry voice.

Here, Leonardo, who was playing against the actress, suddenly came out of that state of filming, looked at the actress in front of him with a flushed face, and the director who stood up angrily over there, and sighed helplessly.

It looks like this paragraph is going to get stuck again.

Next to him, assistant Kate handed over a chair, and the makeup artist also came to touch up his makeup.

Leonardo loosened the tie around his neck, then lit a cigarette and watched as the director, who was clearly angry, gave the actress another talk.

The actress's name is Naomi, and she is a newcomer to Hollywood, and she is relatively immature in terms of acting experience.

happened to meet Clint, a more serious and not very good-tempered director, so basically, the whole set with her role was always accompanied by Clint's roar.

In addition to the scheduling problem, there are also some reasons for the rest of the previous half month.

However, it seems that after half a month of adjustment and study, Naomi's performance state still cannot satisfy Clint.

After a while, the director over there, Clint, finally stopped, and then, the scene manager motioned for everyone to prepare and continue filming this one.

However, after a lot of training from Clint, Naomi's performance became more and more out of shape.

"Can you play well? If you can't act, just leave, change!"

Clint Hodggar, who was in the back, stood up and twisted his ass to leave.

"Woo......"

Naomi finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and broke down and cried.

"It's okay, Naomi......"

Leonardo patted her on the shoulder, then looked at the narrator's crew, "Do you want to take a break for a while?"

The rest of the crew nodded.

The director is angry and left, so what.

You can only stop filming first, and wait for the producer to make a decision later.

"It's okay, Naomi, you're just a little nervous, so you're not in shape. Relax, relax, and then read the script well and relax. ”

Leonardo comforted again.

Naomi nodded, knowing that in this place, wiping her tears could not solve the problem, so she immediately endured the waves in her heart, and then took the script and read the script over and over again, even if she was already familiar with it.

In fact, as a newcomer, I am definitely very lucky to be selected into this movie, and even play against Leonardo.

Therefore, when she got the script, she read it all night, and she had already turned the entire script upside down, and all the plots, scenes, and dialogues were familiar to her heart.

She herself is definitely not the kind of person who has no acting skills at all, otherwise, she would not have been selected for this crew.

However, it seems that because of the pressure he put on himself, coupled with the opponent's Leonardo, the momentum in his acting skills is too strong, so his performance effect is not very good.

After that, under the arrangement of the producer, I went to an actor's classroom and studied for half a month, but when I came back, my state still didn't improve much.

Coupled with director Clint's temper, she has always exploded, and her pressure is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and in the last few paragraphs, even she feels that her performance has completely gotten out of control.

Quietly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Naomi looked at the script, and the more she read it, the more she felt that it might be her talent that was not good, she was really not the one who ate this meal, and even delayed the progress of the entire crew.

It's better to be directly terminated by the director......

While thinking wildly, producer David Benioff came to the scene.

"Naomi. ”

He walked over.

"Teacher David......"

Naomi looked at him with a look of shame.

In fact, I was able to join this crew entirely because of the recommendation of the producer in front of me.

However, he behaved so badly.

"You relax first, readjust your condition, and practice a few more times......"

David looked around, and then found a member of the crew to help Naomi play.

The whole movie has been filmed for so long, and it is naturally not so simple to change actors, unless it is a special moment, he, the producer, naturally does not want to change people in such a hurry.

Moreover, he is quite confident in his ability to recognize people, and he also knows Naomi well. In terms of physical qualities, she definitely has the potential to be on fire. And it is very compatible with the handsome Leonardo, and when it is on the screen, it will definitely be brilliant.

It's just that she may need to improve her acting skills.

"David, I'll play against her directly!"

Leonardo, who was next to him, stood up and said.

David looked at him and nodded, "Thank you, Leon!"

In the absence of a director and the presence of the camera, Naomi's mood is also slightly stable.

Playing against Leonardo, his state has rebounded a little, but the crew members next to him are still watching and shake their heads.

It's still a bit bad......

Leonardo looked at the actress in front of him, and suddenly said: "Naomi, you are here, maybe you can't recognize the highest task clearly, and then you didn't combine your movements, expressions, and the whole through-action, so the performance is a bit fake." ”

When this sentence came out, there was a sudden silence next to him.

Everyone looked at Leonardo in amazement.

I didn't understand how he could suddenly come up with such a sentence.

There are also some nouns in there that seem to have never been heard before.

And, Leonardo this is ...... Is teaching Naomi how to act?

Kate, the assistant sitting next to her, was stunned when she heard this.

If she remembers correctly, what Leonardo said about "the highest task" and "through the action" are all terms in the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" that she read to him before.

During this period of rest, Leonardo was like crazy, desperately trying to get himself to translate the book "The Self-cultivation of an Actor" for him.

Later, he spent more than 100,000 yuan to find someone directly to help him privately translate the book into English.

Then, it's an all-nighter view.

Even, even some activities that are not very important have been pushed by themselves.

Kate was worried about whether Leonardo was stunned and fascinated by the content of this book.

In Hollywood, there are a lot of acting maniacs.

Although the lens is very expressive, the whole person is completely addicted to it and can't extricate himself.

It's a lot like Leonardo is now.

Although, the improvement of the performance state is very important for an actor.

But if Leonardo really becomes that kind of acting maniac, I'm afraid it will become a bomb thing in Hollywood.

It's something that a lot of people don't want to see.

Fortunately, after officially entering the crew, Leonardo can be regarded as entering the state of acting, except for resting, going back at night, still flipping through the thick stack of A4 paper "books" bound together, when acting, it is still very normal.

Even, the state is hotter than before.

And now, not only does he want to read it himself, but he also wants to use the content of that book to guide Naomi in front of him?

Will this work?

Kate was skeptical.

Not to mention whether Leonardo himself has the ability to teach acting, it is debatable whether the content in that book is really useful.

However, Leonardo didn't pay attention to the other people's expressions, and patiently told Naomi about the acting methods and state adjustments mentioned in the book.

He started acting at the age of five, and after so many years, he actually has a deep understanding of acting.

In particular, he has acted in so many plays, and he has been followed by experienced top directors and some actors with superb acting skills, so he has a lot of unique features in his own acting experience.

It's just that it's in that state of being in the dark, and it is naturally performed, and it has never become any theory, or a method that can be refined.

And before, when he read the book "Actor's Self-cultivation", he suddenly found that feeling.

This book, as if I understand his thoughts, talks about a whole system of performance, which is completely his own performance state and method that can only be understood but not spoken.

The "highest task", "through behavior", and even the third performance method "method" mentioned later in the book are highly consistent with my own thinking about performance!

Therefore, he himself very much agrees with the content of this book.

I think that the system introduced by this author from the East maybe, perhaps, is really a master-level refinement and summary.

After watching it for so long, he himself has a deep understanding of the performance, and he also wants to have the opportunity to communicate with others.

And now, seeing Naomi who is not online, Leonardo's heart moved, and he began to bring out the main part of the system in that book and let her try.

In fact, the "experiential school" introduced in the book is very simple, that is, to bring yourself into the role.

The key is how to bring in, that is, the main two points in it, to recognize the "highest task", and "through the behavior"!

As long as Naomi can be taught to recognize these two points, then, even if she can't naturally flow that kind of character emotion, she can at least "perform" it.

On the other side, Naomi didn't expect that Leonardo, who was handsome and golden, and was already a Hollywood superstar, not only helped her play, but even began to help her talk about drama and teach her how to act, so she was naturally grateful.

also listened carefully, according to his book, little by little compared the scenes and lines in the script, and began a learning process.

"That's basically it, the character of Helen Gandhi, who served as Hoover's personal secretary, has been ...... since she was 21 years old This is very unusual, so whether it is in daily work or cooperation, she has to make a balance......"

Under the surprised gazes of others around him, including producer David, Leonardo gushed out.

In fact, he himself has been reading that book for a long time, and he has accumulated a lot of ideas in his heart, and the content that he wants to practice and prove, and now, all of them are poured into the role played by Naomi.

Whether it was his own substitution, he also told Naomi about the role analysis, the "highest task", and the "through behavior" analysis.

"Okay, that's about it. ”

After almost ten minutes of talking, Leonardo felt that it was almost enough, and then said, "You figure it out for yourself, and then we will try again." ”

Naomi nodded.

She looked down at the script again.

This time, she no longer relied on her own experience, but completely followed the method Leonardo told her, rationally analyzing the state, expression and behavior of this character in this scene.

After coming over for a while, she raised her head and said a little timidly: "Mr. Leonardo, Mr. David, or ...... Shall we try again?"

"No problem!"

Leonardo was waiting for her words.

I also want to confirm whether the explanation I just gave has any effect.

Immediately, the two of them stood up and performed this scene that had been clicked no less than ten times again.

First of all, Leonardo's lines, naturally there are no problems and they play well.

Everyone looked at Naomi, who paused slightly, and then began to follow the lines and settings in the script, and began to perform.

After the first small action was performed, everyone watching around was brightened.

It's really a lot better than before!

Is it so effective?

Producer David also looked at the two people who were performing in front of him with some surprise.

Although, compared to Leonardo's amazing performance, Naomi is still a lot worse, but it is much better than the previous state, and the whole person is already gradually entering that state.

Seeing this, he hurriedly turned around, went to the crew's car over there, and found the director Clint who was still there in a huff.

"Change the actors! David, it's not that I don't give you face, but you also saw it on the scene, which affects the filming schedule too much......"

Clint couldn't help but say.

"Don't talk yet, go and see the situation at the scene!"

As he spoke, David took him by the hand, and walked over there.

"What's so beautiful? Could it be that in just a moment, Naomi's acting skills can be improved?"

Clint still yelled.

"Be quiet, look...... They're acting!"

David gestured over there.

Clint looked over there and saw that all the crew around him had a look of surprise on their faces as Leonardo was playing with Naomi. Obviously, it seems that there is some disbelief.

He looked inside, Naomi, who was playing against Leonardo, at this time, did not have the previous state of performance outside the free, and actually ...... The acting was smooth!
