Chapter 594: Grab it
Russell Ivey, an outdated actor in Hollywood, the words "young fame" and "plummeting" are suitable for him, and the three serials of "Extreme Action", "Spitfire" and "Happy Hour" have helped him become a recognized box office cancer in the American film and television industry within four years.
In particular, the box office failure of the big-production multi-star "Happy Hour" directly led to the rupture of the funding chain of one of the major investors, the high-top film, and declared bankruptcy, which put a mysterious and unapproachable aura on Russell.
Russell is actually quite aggrieved, he is not the only protagonist in "Happy Moments", there are other big names, but why do you still give yourself the biggest pot?
No way, life is sometimes quite metaphysical, after all, when I was young and famous, I didn't think about why God favored me.
Now, Russell is sitting in the rest chair of the "The Wolf of Wall Street" crew with some trepidation, today's shooting is different from yesterday, the first time is led by the director, the second time is to let the whole crew run on its own and then make adjustments, if it goes well, the next should be able to pass.
However, at the end of the second pass, the director suddenly stopped, and he fell into thought about the monitor, occasionally discussing in a low voice with the assistant director next to him.
Russell thinks that he is discussing himself, not because of anything else, but just the director's inadvertent look at him, oh my God, out of the intuition of the box office cancer, it is a prelude to dumping the pot!
What's the problem?
What's wrong again?
The more Russell thought about it, the more uneasy he became, in fact, the situation of his three consecutive budget works hitting the streets may be worse than the outside world imagined, the departure of brand endorsements, the maintenance of team funds, the lack of interest in film contracts, all these factors are cutting the number on the account, which is a kind of chronic social death.
Now although the salary of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not too high, it has enough budget, and more importantly, it provides its own leading role.
However, the requirements of this oriental director seem to be quite high, what if he thinks that he is not good enough, and the temperament of the big dog explodes, and he really replaces himself who is not paid well?
Russell couldn't sit still anymore when he thought of this, he got up and walked to the director, and took the initiative to ask, "Director Gan, is there something wrong with my acting? What adjustments do I need to make?"
"Well, you sit, I'm thinking. Gan Jing said in a calm tone.
Russell was even more panicked, no, not at all, the pleasant face is the prelude to driving people away, right? The director is obviously scathing!
"Director Gan, if you ask for the role, I will try my best to figure it out. Russell first expressed his position, and then euphemistically mentioned his difficulties, "I got the script for this play in too short a time, and some of it feels like I haven't found it yet, I believe that the more you guide me, the better it will be." ”
Gan Jing frowned slightly, why did this thing suddenly break his mouth so much.
He mused, "I'm thinking about how I can make you perform better." ”
Russell was quiet for two seconds and then said, "Director, you say." ”
There is no distinction between "you" and "you" in English, so in order to show respect, grammatical modifications are made, and the originally concise words are added with more vocabulary.
Gan Jing said angrily: "I have to think about it." ”
Russell nodded.
"Earlier I said that you should feel like a 'well-dressed beast', but in fact, according to me, your current situation is quite suitable for this image, and the negative news and the role of the villain can complement each other in a sense. Gan Jing is not only talking to the box office cancer, but also brushing his own thoughts, "But now I see that your acting is a bit messy, we are not only making movies to perform, but also to figure out how to let the audience better understand the charm of our characters." ”
"Let's put it this way, you have to play not only a 'well-dressed beast', but also a 'well-dressed beast' with a bit of 'politeness' flavor. Gan Jing made a new request.
Russell thought hard and said a little dazedly: "How can a character with a mouth full of f**k be polite?"
Gan Jing shook his head and complained to Liu Peichuan next to him in Chinese: "This is the difference in concepts between the two sides, their performances are more outward, they like the promotion of body language to the performance of characters, we have an oriental style of restraint on our side, this restraint can be used in many shots to make people shine." ”
Liu Peichuan cautiously reported: "Brother Gan, I don't understand much. ”
What is the difference between Eastern and Western performances, I have never considered this level, it is beyond the outline!
Gan Jing: "......"
He thought about it and said in English: "How can the villain convey his charm to the audience? The face is part of it, and more importantly, you have to start with the details, you have to make the actor's face under your own control and not overpower." ”
"The better or best actors, after communicating with the director and knowing the intentions, will know how to build beauty in a work like ours, which is not only the work of the camera, but also the actors themselves. ”
"It's true, though, Russell, that you have too little communication with me, and too little time to understand the script, to be too difficult for you. ”
"After all, you're just an ordinary Hollywood star. ”
Russell controlled his facial expression and shouted wildly in his heart, it's back, it's back, that's it, it's this mean energy!
Gan Jing noticed Liu Peichuan's thinking expression, and couldn't help but change to Chinese for the teacher: "Acting is a very measured thing, some people act to make the audience feel slimy, and some people act very crisply, it is the grip in the middle, you have to think more to be more sensitive to this." ”
He cut into English again and said: "Russell, it is impossible for the crew to stop and wait for you to communicate with me, and the solution is very simple, starting tomorrow, I will give you the important scenes that I think you can't play well." ”
Russell nodded first and then was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"I'll play it once, and you can refer to it again. Gan Jing said.
Russell couldn't laugh or cry, but he had learned to complain with self-deprecation: "Okay, I'm just a gas tumor actor anyway." ”
"Then I'll call it a day a day, and I'll give you half a day to familiarize yourself with the script. "Gan Jing doesn't mind the way the out-of-character actor speaks.
Russell should come down, but he couldn't help but shake his head as he turned around.
Gan Jing walked to the photographer from different directions and continued to communicate and adjust the scenes that were not filmed today, which was to prepare for tomorrow.
Liu Peichuan had a brainstorming session, and after thinking about it, he suddenly reacted and sighed: "Brother Gan plays first and then direct......s? Wouldn't it be too much work?"
He Yue, who had been silent on the side, heard these words, took the time to look up from the screen of her mobile phone and said, "It's just a joke addict." ”
Liu Peichuan: "(?? _?? ?)”
