Except for Lan Li, no one in the entire crew noticed Simmons' abnormality.

In the crew of "Burst Drummer", strictly speaking, there are only five professional actors, Paul Reeser, Melissa Benoist, Austin Storwell, who have few roles, and then Lan Li and JK Simmons.

Lan Li is not only the most famous actor in the crew, but also serves as a producer, many times, Damien is willing to sit down with Lan Li and make more additions to the film from the perspective of acting and roles, which also makes Lan Li the coordinator who knows the most about acting in the crew.

Now, Lan Li is also the only one who perceives the aftermath of the tension of the performance.

So, even though Damien didn't remind him, Lan Li still took the initiative to remind, "Fletcher, wait for me to prompt." ”

"What? what...... What?" Simmons gradually came back to his senses, breaking free from his thoughts.

"We needed to shoot close-ups. Lan Li further explained that the words were simple, but not overly obvious, allowing Simmons to maintain the gap between the unreal and the real, giving him enough time and space to slowly and completely come back to his senses.

Simmons slowed down for half a beat, then reacted, raised his right hand, made an "OK" gesture, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem." Absolutely. Having said that, Simmons' whole state was still a little hazy, as if he was half asleep and half awake.

"That couldn't be better. Damion had already walked over quickly, the panic and shyness on his face slightly hidden, and then he focused on his work, explaining the intention of the camera to Lan Li and Simmons.

These close-ups were all makeshift chemistry on set, adjusted to the performances of the two actors, so the show had to be explained and guided by Damien himself, making sure that the whole shoot went his way.

After the explanation, the crew started working again.

The filming of this scene is far from being as simple as imagined, from the beginning to the end, more than 20 back and forth shots, of which only 7 were interrupted due to mistakes, and the other 13 times were all Damien capturing close-ups and close-up shots, trying to complete the editing in his mind on the spot, and piece together the most satisfying film picture.

From daytime filming to night, after the whole day's crew work time was consumed, the end of this scene was announced.

"Thank you. Thank you! Thank you!" Damien patted Lan Li and Simmons on the shoulders again and again, couldn't hold back his excitement, and expressed his gratitude, but Lan Li and Simmons both had zombie faces, staring at Damien coldly, which made Damien's words stay in place awkwardly and jerky, and the pressure was great.

In the end, it was the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth that bloomed first, which made Damien cover his chest with palpitations, "I thought it would ...... You just ...... I think...... Ok......"

The fragmented words could not be finished, but the meaning could not be more obvious, Lan Li gently retracted his chin, "It's one thing to work hard, but at least, we completed the shooting task today, how about it, it's enough for you to complete the editing, right?"

"Enough, enough, absolutely enough!" said Damien, hurryingly.

In fact, part of the reason is also Damien's "preparedness".

Since the crew was only allowed to shoot in Alice Tate Hall for one day, after which the Juilliard School needed to use it, and even if he wanted to reshoot the shots, it would have been impossible, so Damien went out of his way to try to shoot as many shots as possible to provide more material for the post-production editing.

According to strict standards, today's filming exceeded the union's stipulated working hours, but all the crew members were still doing their best.

Simmons stood beside him, did not speak, with a sarcastic smile on his face, but it was not too obvious, he always felt that something was wrong with the whole person, but he refused to communicate, when Lan Li and Damien were talking, he simply nodded and signaled, "Today's work is all over, right? Then I'll go back first." ”

Simmons drifted away like a gloomy cloud.

Damien looked at Simmons' back, shuddering, and asked cautiously, "He...... Are you alright?"

"We'll see tomorrow. Lan Li did not answer directly.

Because Simmons's state is the state that Lan Li is most familiar with, no one else can help now, and he can only rely on Simmons himself to figure out the boundary between illusion and reality, otherwise, no one can predict the direction of the follow-up.

Because of the on-site shooting, the scene of "Burst Drummer" was not filmed in chronological order, but the order of the overall context remained the same. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the crew still has filming work, but Andrew and Fletcher need to return to the state before "Killing Father", which is another test for both actors.

Damien nodded ignorantly, looked at Lan Li again, and then came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you must have been tired today, hurry up and go back to rest." By the way, do you need to go to the hospital to bandage your tiger's mouth?"

"I think our crew can stop for a while, and there is no need to hype the same news many times in a row. Lan Li replied with a sarcasm, chuckled lightly, and without waiting for Damien to say anything more, bowed his head in farewell, and then walked back along the crimson carpet of the recital hall.

Damien stood in place, savored it carefully, and then suddenly understood, raised his head and tried to find Lan Li's figure, but found that Lan Li had already left, he didn't mind, and happily beckoned the crew to call it a day-

Because the most difficult scene has been filmed, there are some light scenes to follow, three days at most, one day at the earliest, all the filming work can be completed, and then post-production, if nothing else, they should be able to catch up with the registration for next year's Sundance Film Festival.

……

Lan Li left the Alice Tate Room and walked along the red carpet towards the audience's exit, physically and mentally still feeling a deep tiredness, not because he couldn't distinguish between fantasy and reality, but because he had expended all his energy to shoot this scene.

But the wonderful thing is that he doesn't want to rest now, but wants to quietly reminisce about the feeling just now, which is Andrew's breakthrough and his own breakthrough, and this mysterious and mysterious feeling makes the mood can't help but be happy.

From a distance, Lan Li noticed the figure sitting in the back row of the audience, the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but his footsteps did not stop, and he continued to step forward.

The figure didn't make a fuss, and Shi Shiran stood up.

Even though Lan Li had already pushed the door and left, she was not in a hurry, and straightened her clothes unhurriedly, and then left the recital hall. Pushing open the door, you can see the doorway to the street, Lan Li's back is standing there, watching the people on the street.

The black shirt and black suit pants are still Andrew's costumes.

There is no close-fitting tailoring, it is not a top brand, it looks like a standard suit bought at a mass brand chain store "suit warehouse", and it is generally put on the body, even if it is a burlap bag, there is not much objection, and after the intense performance just now, the sweat seeps out, and the clothes are soaked and dried, and then soaked again, like the jaw of a Shar Pei.

Man depends on clothing.

Under such a costume, Lan Li's back looks like an ordinary college student, without any star halo or gentlemanly demeanor, even if he is thrown into the crowd of people in Manhattan, there is absolutely no sense of disobedience, and even breeds a temperament of living in Brooklyn.

Rooney Mara couldn't help but chuckle.

Today, the crew filmed the most important scene. Not only did Rooney come to visit, but Paul Walker and Ryan Gosling also came, Paul also brought his daughter Meadow Ryan with him, and Andrew Garfield also showed up despite his busy work schedule and unexpectedly watched the filming of a major event.

However, because it was very difficult to shoot the scene, all the friends who came to visit the class did not disturb Lan Li's work, just said hello, and then turned around and left silently according to their own time.

Between coming and going, Rooney was left alone.

Rooney was not in a hurry, so she quietly enjoyed Lan Li's performance. Honestly, it's a treat, because of the show itself, but also because of the blue ceremony itself. When a person, whether a man or a woman, is engrossed in one thing, the whole person will shine, and the charm is incomparable.

Waiting and waiting, the passage of time loses its meaning, and when the whole day of filming is over, in fact, Rooney still has some regrets, because he still hasn't appreciated enough, watching a top actor's performance, which has nothing to do with the plot and story, is a pleasure in itself.

His eyes fell on Lan Li's back, and he stepped forward, Rooney and Lan Li stood side by side, and then you could see Lan Li's mouth with a cigarette in his mouth, and his slightly frowned brows with a trace of vicissitudes of tiredness, which was different from the ordinary and youthful appearance of the back, when he noticed this face and these eyes, the wisdom and mature charm that belonged to time bloomed, even if it was like an ordinary black shirt, it could not be covered.

Rooney was slightly stunned, and the smile in her eyes slowly flowed out, "So, are you imitating James Dean?" James Dean, who died young, frowned and held a cigarette, has become a classic in film history.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth twitched slightly, "Do you like James Dean?"

"......" Rooney didn't expect such an answer, but shook her head anyway, "No." ”

Lan Li's eyes raised slightly, "Then it's not." ”
