549 It is not good to be a teacher

Roy watched as the back faded away. That's not a blue gift.

The back did not stiffen listlessly, but tried to straighten the waist, you can notice the straight waist, and the slightly strained shoulders, the slightly tense muscles pull the lines of the blazer, faintly revealing the traces of the exertion, but even so, the spine still does not seem to be able to fully straighten up, and the thin shoulders are heavily tucked forward and inward, as if ...... It was as if he was under an incomparably heavy pressure, and the invisible weight almost crushed the fragile bones.

The calm side face is always bright under the flow of light and shadow, and the cigarette at the corner of the mouth hangs low, there is no smoke, but it outlines a touch of loneliness and loneliness between the eyebrows, and it is lightly wrapped in the deep eyes. There is no special expression, like a calm lake, but the corners of the mouth accompanied by the slight tugging of the cigarette have shallow ripples, and there always seems to be emotions surging under the unfathomable dark green lake, which is indescribable, unclear, but always exists.

There is no special force and outline, the whole performance state is natural and smooth, and there is no trace of carving between gestures, and more importantly, the seemingly bland performance makes every audience full of bitterness. Roy couldn't describe it exactly, the man in front of him was not sad, not desperate, not painful, not even a trace of waves, but the ubiquitous but indescribable emotion was like a boulder, pressing his chest, making people breathless in silence.

Roy couldn't believe his brain: he didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything, and he didn't act anything, but it was as if everything was in place. That was the only thought in his mind at the moment, but this contradictory statement, even if he himself thought it was ridiculous, he didn't know what kind of performance it was, as if it was ...... It's as if that man really exists from his soul to his appearance, has truly experienced the stormy seas and vicissitudes of life, and has truly returned to calm and ordinary, and has truly appeared in front of his eyes.

Five seconds, or ten seconds? In just a few breaths, Lan Li transformed into a completely unfamiliar image, and his handsome face seemed to become ordinary, it was definitely not Lan Li. Even though he was there to witness everything, Roy still couldn't believe his eyes-

It's just that Roy is still a little unsure, is this Henry Bart?

"Detachment" is Roy's first work after working with Lan Li, in order to be fully prepared, he read the script several times, not only to understand the character, understand the script, understand the shooting process, but also understand Lan Li's style, as well as the art form. Therefore, Roy also has an in-depth understanding of the character of Henry, but Roy is not sure about the performance just now.

"Cards!"

Tony's shouts interrupted the filming, and there was a buzz of talk on set. Not amazed, but surprised, or disappointed. Lan Li's performance was not as earth-shattering as expected.

Yes, they knew that this scene was incredibly simple, yes, they knew that it was unrealistic to have an explosion of acting on the first day of filming, and yes, they knew that it was difficult to see anything in a scene that was only a few seconds away. They all know this. But under the fame, they are always looking forward to something special, novel, and eye-catching. Even they don't know what they're expecting.

For Sammy and other amateur actors, they were even more confused and didn't understand it at all.

Tony stepped forward quickly, his brows furrowed, and came to Lan Li's side, without any pause or hesitation, and asked bluntly, "What the hell was going on just now? Sadness? I want sadness and despair! Where is your performance?" Tony's temper came up directly, his tone was very serious, and his impatient words were not concealed, and he rushed forward with anger in addition to questioning.

Lan Li opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Tony continued like a firecracker, "What I need is not a handsome guy, standing there posing and being handsome, what I need is an actor, a real actor, a real acting! If I want to find a model, there are a lot of them at New York Fashion Week, and you won't be able to take your turn." Please, give me something real, okay? Henry was a desperate man, he was so overwhelmed with grief that he was almost suffocating! What was that you just now? Lost Lamb? Jesus Christ, even the lost Bambi, has more eyes in his eyes than you!"

Lan Li gave up his defense, and instead let Tony continue to vent.

In fact, this is not surprising, whether it is directly involved in filming without communication and rehearsal just now, or the recklessness and impulsiveness when we met for the first time before, or the urgency and directness during several exchanges, all of which can be seen that Tony is a person who does not know the world, and in his dictionary, there is nothing to take care of face, or what kind of greetings. Art, that's the only thing he cares about, it's all about art, and it's only about art.

What's more, Tony's temper is also impatient and jumpy. The first scene was not as good as it could be, and Tony's reaction was not a surprise.

But for the rest of the crew, this was an absolutely unimaginable accident. The reason why the first scene is so special is that in order to be able to win a lottery, the director and crew will choose scenes that are relatively easy to shoot to ensure that they can pass smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that the smooth passage of the first scene seems to have become a common formula, and the crew has gradually become accustomed to it, and it is taken for granted that the first scene will definitely pass directly, so that the first scene is only left with symbolic meaning, often just going through the motions, and everyone immediately puts into the rest of the work.

Not to mention the first scene, most of the filming on the first day was like this, relatively simple.

Suddenly, there was a problem in the first scene, and people were inevitably stunned, and the shock caused by the huge contrast was almost impossible to hide. Then, they saw Tony, who was angry and thunderous, and the members of the crew couldn't help but close their mouths and look panicked.

People were exchanging glances in a hurry, not even Roy and Nathan, and no one knew what was going on. The first scene is so simple, but Lan Li's play is so abnormal, is it because of the busy publicity of "Speed and Excitement/Love 5" before, which made Lan Li lose his state and never be able to retract his heart? Or is it because of the sudden popularity, Lan Li's mentality is still unbalanced and becomes inflated?

But what is certain is that no matter what the reason, the first scene is unfavorable, which is definitely not good news for the crew.

For a while, the atmosphere of the crew became weird, and the students in the teaching building held their breath, stuck to the window, and carefully and excitedly cast their eyes, is there going to be a fight? Is there a good show to watch? Is there going to be a hot scene?

"Say something!" Tony saw Lan Li standing in place without saying a word, the calmness on his face still did not disappear, which made Tony's temper jump up more and more, originally just eager, but now he was a little angry, and his right hand holding the script began to wave in the air, foaming at the mouth.

Lan Li did not challenge Tony's authority and gave up the intention of being humorous, but said directly, "My understanding of the character is different. As Lan Li expected, hearing the discussion about art, Tony's temper slowed down for a while, he raised his chin, and said breathlessly, "So what is your understanding?"

"Henry's grief and despair, it is an emotion that slowly penetrates from the bones to the soul. He had given up struggling, or rather, he thought he had given up struggling. But we can look at his behavior - he became a teacher, trying to bring hope to more children within his ability, but he refused to bond with these children, and before the emotional entanglement occurred, he walked away and continued to repeat the previous behavior in another school. To put it simply, he is sowing the seeds of hope, but he does not want to continue to cultivate them. Why?"

Lan Li's tirade silenced Tony, who raised his right hand to support his chin and fell into deep thought.

The perspectives of directors, screenwriters and actors are completely different, and the artistic expressions presented are also different. Tony and Lan Li are also facing this problem.

"In the script, Henry and three different female characters reveal his inner emotions little by little.

In the face of Sarah's overtures, Henry's retreat shows his coldness and detachment, knowing that he is in a bad position and that he has no way to respond to other people's emotional cries for help.

Henry's hesitation in the face of Meredith's plea for help shows his fear and despair, he is trying to help Meredith, but he is worried that there will be more emotional entanglement between the two people, and he is not capable of being responsible for anyone.

Henry's numbness shows his sadness and bitterness in the face of Erica's invasion, Erica approaches step by step, he passively helps, but he does not dare to go further, because he sees in Erica who he used to be.

Different relationships show different emotions. Little by little, Henry's emotions are presented. Before meeting these people, to be precise, before the change in the state of life, Henry carefully wrapped himself up, lived in his own world, carefully gathered all his emotions, like a wandering spirit, lost his vitality, but still unwilling to leave, just floating without any sense of existence. ”

"That's what you want to do, what you want to do, it looks like stagnant water?" Tony said, finally understanding what Lan Li meant.
