In fact, Jessica is very familiar with the way Lan Li describes acting, because Terrence Malick is the epitome of this type of director.
Under Terrence's lens, many times the actor often doesn't know what he is performing, but is presenting an emotion, which is recorded on film through the camera, and Terrence completes the permutation and combination, interpreting and interpreting the effect he wants. Therefore, the actor does not need to dig into the character too much, but simply presents the emotions that Terrence wants to see, and that's fine.
Jessica once starred in "The Tree of Life" directed by Terrence, and all the actors, including her, were still ignorant and confused when they ended their performances, vaguely seemed to be able to understand what the movie was about, but they couldn't start the exact description, only one feeling remained, and after the final movie was presented, the actors were able to suddenly understand.
This does not mean that the actor's performance has become simpler, but requires the actor to have better and more precise control over the emotion and presentation of the performance. The difficulty varies, but it's just as challenging.
Of course, "Interstellar" and "Tree of Life" are two completely different situations, but the director's requirements for the actors are somewhat similar.
Jessica's ridicule was just joking and complaining, but Lan Li didn't panic, and replied calmly, "Isn't the previous effort just for the comfort of the future?"
Lan Li's answer was not problematic, but it always sounded weird, Jessica frowned slightly, "Are you sure this is not a quote prepared for retirement?"
Lan Li was reversed, pursed the corners of his mouth, thought about it seriously, but found that he couldn't refute it, so he simply admitted, "Why not? Now the whole Hollywood is looking forward to my retirement, and there should definitely be no less than the camp that supports Meryl's retirement, right?"
A teasing sentence made Jessica clap her hands and laugh, and nodded her head in agreement.
Meryl Streep is jokingly called the "Oscar cancer", nominated almost every year, almost every year, riding on the road of constantly breaking records, and some people ridicule every year, hoping that Meryl will retire quickly to make way for young people, otherwise the Y-century generation and the millennial generation will not be able to grow up, and even Meryl herself is so ridiculous every year.
Now, at the age of twenty-four, she has won the EGOT and topped the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival in a row, and it seems that it is time for Lanli to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. There are definitely many people in the industry who hold this idea.
"Oh!" Mackenzie immediately let out a disappointed exclamation, "Why? Why! Why would anyone expect Lan Li to retire now?" Xiao Nizi stared in disbelief, "Isn't Lan Li's career just starting up? So far, Lan Li has not appeared in ten works, shouldn't he wait until he has starred in a thousand films before discussing retirement?"
"A thousand?" Timothy choked on himself in fright, coughing violently.
Even if there are twenty movies a year, it will take fifty years, and if such a goal can be achieved, Lan Li may really become a vampire.
That innocent and romantic words made Lan Li chuckle, "Wow, that's a very, very distant goal. But I promise I'll try to give it a try. β
"Trust me, I'm serious!" McKenzie didn't mean to joke at all, blinking his eyes and saying intently, "No matter what role you play, I'll go into the cinema and watch it!
Jessica looked at Lan Li with a playful face, which made Lan Li slightly purse the corners of her mouth, and the smile in her eyes overflowed, and then said seriously, "Then, you have to start working seriously now." "What do you mean?" Otherwise, the cost of ticket and popcorn for a thousand movies is a lot of money. β
Jessica and Timothy clapped and laughed happily, and chatting with Lan Li was always full of surprises.
McKenzie was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, two blush appeared on her cheeks, and she shyly hid behind Jessica.
Anne Hathaway, who had just entered the room and went to the bathroom, saw the scene in front of her when she came out again, and a big smile appeared on her face, "Wow, it seems that I just missed something important, do I need to feel uneasy and nervous now?"
"Don't worry, you're on the other team, and what happens here won't affect your expedition. Jessica said with a pun.
In the movie, Cooper and his family are one line, and Cooper and the rest of the crew set off on a space expedition on another line. Jessica belongs to the former, Anne belongs to the latter, according to the plan, these two lines do not intersect, the common denominator is just Lan Li. During the shoot, the chances of the two lines intersecting are also very slim.
In fact, for today's opening ceremony, Anne and Jessica don't need to come to the set, because they don't have a role, and Anne doesn't even need to come to this filming base for the whole work. In other words, the current encounter is unexpected.
In the face of Jessica's teasing, Anne's answer was also full of wit, "No, I was expecting him to take us home." The afterglow of his eyes gestured to Lan Li's position, "So, it's better that everything is okay here, otherwise I'm not sure what my husband will do anything drastic." He's a guy who deals with drilling machines. β
From the storyline of "Interstellar" to the real-life situation, Jessica and Anne's back and forth is full of playfulness, and things suddenly become light and funny.
Lan Li collected his chin meaningfully, and a smile appeared in his eyes, but Timothy and McKenzie were confused, they only knew that there seemed to be some laughter now, but they couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, so they could only sit next to them and stare dryly, but Timothy still smiled stupidly, and even he didn't know what he was laughing at.
One after another, the cast and crew arrived at the filming base.
Because the framing of the entire "Star Trek" movie was very cumbersome, Christopher had to break the timeline and complete all the filming work according to the filming location:
In Alberta, Canada, Cooper's home was filmed where Murphy and Tom spent most of their childhood and middle age, Iceland, where Cooper and his team's interstellar expeditions were filmed for other planets in the universe, and Los Angeles, where the capsule interiors, space black holes, and the future of the new Earth were filmed.
This is the process of shooting commercial films in modern Hollywood.
In other words, all of Timothy and Mackenzie's scenes will be filmed in Alberta, and when it's over, their work will come to an end, with Jessica having all of her scenes in Alberta and Los Angeles, and Annie in Iceland and Los Angeles...... Each actor only needs to be present at their respective filming base.
If it's a work like a Marvel movie, where all the filming is done on a green screen, the co-actors don't meet from beginning to end, which is also a very normal situation. Considering the star-studded and big-name clusters, it is already extremely difficult to adjust the schedule, but green screen shooting can instead strive for more creative freedom for film crews.
So, apart from Anne, Matt Damon, Ellen-Burstyn, Bill-Irin, etc., who did not have a role in Alberta, did not show up, and Cassie Affleck and Michael Kane, who did not need to appear in the first week despite having a role in Alberta, also did not appear.
The only exceptions are Annie and Jessica. After Emma Thomas arrived at the crew, she couldn't help but joke, "It seems that your work schedule has been relatively leisurely recently." It made everyone laugh.
When Christopher Nolan arrived at the crew, the bustling atmosphere on the scene had lasted for a while, and there were countless staff members who came to get close to Lanli, which made Christopher slightly stunned, "I remember, there was no need for so many staff on the first day." β
Everyone held back their laughter and tacitly agreed.
Christopher didn't continue to pursue it, signaling that everyone could continue and didn't need to take care of his debut, and then at first glance, he saw Lan Li standing in the crowd, his expression brightened, and he walked straight over, "Hey, this box office gentleman, congratulations on the box office success of this movie, and now many people think I earned it." β
The noise paused for a moment, so quiet that Christopher was frightened and couldn't help but look around, wondering what was going on, and then everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and Lan Li gently raised her chin in the direction of Emma Thomas, her eyes full of smug smiles.
It turned out that when Emma arrived at the scene, she also congratulated Lan Li and said that Thomas Toole gave up the idea of visiting the Alberta Film Base, "Maybe he doesn't want to face you now." β
Lan Li didn't take Thomas Toole to heart at all, but instead started Emma's joke, "Everyone on the scene, I was literally, everyone celebrated to me. God, I've finally really understood the importance of box office numbers now. β
Emma also laughed dumbly, but she thought that Christopher didn't mind the box office numbers too much, and definitely wouldn't be as "clichΓ©" as she was; Lan Li said she didn't believe it, so the two half-jokingly bet, unexpectedly, Jessica and Annie also joined the game, and then the other staff members also came to join in the fun.
In fact, the so-called bet is one dollar per person, and the person who wins the bet will be responsible for today's afternoon tea.
Now, the answer is revealed.
Christopher didn't know why, but finally his wife came over and explained in a low voice, and then saw Christopher still confused and confused, "Shouldn't you celebrate?"
The laughter was even louder.
