Early in the morning, a large number of people gathered at the high school where the "Detachment" crew was located, and it was estimated that there were nearly 100 people at a rough glance. For those large crews, this is less than one-tenth of the small scale, but for independent small crews, it seems to be vast, like a vast ocean.

However, although the crowd was large, it was not noisy at all. To be more precise, the entire crew seemed a little lost and a little sad. Because today is the day when the "detached" crew is finished, there is still the filming of the last scene, and after the filming is over, it will be announced that the filming of the whole movie is over, and everyone is inevitably a little reluctant.

During the filming, everyone complained one by one, especially when they met Tony and Lan Li, a big madman and a small madman, the work process was simply miserable, except for the scene on the bus at the beginning, which was filmed a record 71 times, and then many scenes were reshot over and over again, and there were at least ten scenes that were reshot more than 30 times.

According to the drama crew, this time the "detached" film is enough to cut out one and a half "Once Upon a Time in America". For reference, the director's cut of "Once Upon a Time in America" is 229 minutes, nearly four hours. No one knows how long Tony will cut a movie, and even screenwriter Carl Lund himself complained, "I'm sure this movie was made with the intention of driving the audience out of the cinema." ”

But when it really came to an end, everyone began to be inseparable. There is only one main reason: Lanley-Hall.

To be honest, Lan Li is not a well-rounded person, he is not familiar with most of the crew, and he has not even spoken, but Lan Li is a dedicated and dedicated actor, and watching him film is really a pleasure, like watching a play in a Broadway theater.

The difference is that when watching Broadway, the audience is just amazed and dumbfounded, while when watching Lan Li filming, the process, level and depth of the performance are carefully shown in front of everyone. On the one hand, it allows people to deeply feel the difference in the power of performance, and truly distinguish between excellent actors and ordinary performances, and on the other hand, it allows people to truly feel the difficulties and challenges of performance, and at the same time understand the difference between dedication and ordinary.

Tony is a movie nerd, in order to shoot the work "Detachment", the selection of the entire crew also has strict requirements in terms of professionalism, just look at the cast of the actors. All of these people have artistic background, good and bad, although the vision is quite high, the temper is not small, but all of them are knowledgeable.

The filming process is indeed hard, an independent film takes nearly seven weeks to shoot, which is not inferior to those commercial blockbusters, but it is also really enjoyable, and people really feel the pain and happiness of artistic creation.

It was rumored in the previous "Me Against Cancer" that Lan Li was too selfless and devoted to filming, so that he had health problems and regretted not being able to attend the Oscars, and everyone would still be suspicious. Now that I've experienced it myself, I understand what it's all about. Along with it, many people have become interested in "me who fights cancer".

Now that it's about to be finished, the regret and loss in my heart will inevitably begin to rise, and my mouth is full of bitterness but I don't know how to describe it.

Jeremy Marks had a smile on his face, the hard ordeal was finally coming to an end, and feeling the low pressure of the crew, he couldn't help but comfort, "It's a good thing when it's over." If you want to abuse yourself, there will be a chance to cooperate next time. But these comforting words, even Jeremy himself said weakly, the smile seemed heavy and weak, and the feeling of emptiness in his heart could not be described in words.

When I was in school, I always missed the holidays, but after the holidays, I missed the time I was in school. Even if I know it's ridiculous, I still can't control it.

Thinking about it now, Jeremy was dumbfounded at Lan Li's cold eyebrows, the world is impermanent, and life is really full of surprises.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, sir!"

There was a wave of greetings in his ears, and without looking back, Jeremy knew that it was Lan Li who had arrived at the crew.

Because Lan Li played a teacher in the movie, the students called him "Mr. (Sir)", and the actors who played the students this time were all ordinary people who had no acting experience, and all of them were high school students, and gradually, they got used to this title, and they shouted so in and out of the play. Over time, even the crew began to call Lan Li that.

Even director Tony was not treated like this.

Looking back, Jeremy saw Lan Li with a relaxed smile on his face, and his gentle bookish air made people feel extremely comfortable, and he took the initiative to step forward and say hello, "Good morning." Are you ready? The crew is all in place, and now it's time for the actors to take the stage. ”

Lan Li smiled and nodded, "No problem, you can start directly." With that, Lan Li walked straight in the direction of the classroom.

In the final scene of the whole movie, Tony chooses one of Henry's lessons.

Before that, Henry had already decided that he would end his substitute teaching career at this school and go to another school, and the students seemed reluctant to give up, and they could all feel that Henry was the only one who really cared about them out of so many teachers, but now, this teacher was leaving. Life, still no hope.

And this class was the last class after Meredith's suicide and before the end of the semester, and the atmosphere of the whole class was very depressing, and Henry looked at Meredith's vacant place with a heavy heart. Here, he recited an Edgar Allan Poe poem, "The Fall of Usher House," which he had chosen when Ranley and Tony auditioned.

The film will end with this poem. But this scene is undoubtedly very difficult, all the emotions are suppressed under the water, hidden in the poetry, and the actors need to have a deep interpretation of the lines, emotions, the director's intentions, and the students. However, Tony has absolute trust in Lan Li, so he chose this difficult scene as the finale, and the other shots have been filmed in advance.

After entering the classroom, Lan Li saw that the student actors were already sitting in their seats, ready to shoot one by one, and he waved his hand, "Good morning." ”

"Good morning, sir. The students said sparsely and unevenly, their voices weak.

This made Lan Li chuckle, "Why are you so listless, shouldn't you be happy?Such a long torture is finally coming to an end, you don't have to continue to suffer, the next thing is a holiday...... Oh, I forgot, school is going to start in a week, right? Are you sorry because the summer vacation is coming to an end?"

The students looked at each other, and no one spoke. After waiting for a while, a black student raised his hand, and after getting Lan Li's consent, he said, "Sir, I think it's a pity that we are about to separate." You say, will we have a chance to meet in the future?"

"Yes, sir. You say, can we leave the Bronx? I still want to continue my studies, but I don't know if I'll be able to continue after the school year starts this year. ”

"Sir, I want to be an actor, do you think it's possible?"

"Sir, is it really useful to read?"

……

The words of twitter came and went, which made Lan Li slightly stunned. For him, it is a performance, but it is also a life experience, and for these students, it is a dream, a beautiful and happy dream, and after today, they will wake up and return to real life.

In the corner of his sight, Lan Li saw Sammy and Betty, their scenes had already been filmed, but they still came to the crew today, and the two of them stood at the back door of the classroom, looking at Lan Li with mixed eyes.

At this moment, Lan Li really felt the weight of his shoulders, just like Tony filming the movie "Detachment". If they only reach out to help poor individuals, their personal power is limited after all, they need the attention of the society, and they also need the support of more authoritative figures, and only by truly changing the concept of education and the situation of the community can they help more people.

Lan Li has never really done anything, just insisted on being a dedicated actor. How can he win the trust of these children, and how can he guide them in the direction of their lives? It was not until today that Lan Li understood for the first time what is the social responsibility of a public figure.

Lan Li put down his satchel, walked to the front of the podium, pondered his thoughts, and then said, "Believe me, reading is the only way to change your life. You can go away, you can find a job now, you can choose to give up or compromise. ”

"There are no answers in life, and everyone will find their own path. Why not? Being a photographer or an artist, of course, and being a blue-collar worker or a homeless person, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Standing in front of the podium, Lan Li deeply felt the responsibility of teachers, as well as the responsibility of parents, for these confused children, teachers and parents are their only support, "Everyone has their own choice. Can you make money by reading? Can you eat enough by reading? The answer is no, but reading books allows you to have these options. The choice may not be the right one, but at least you have the opportunity to choose. ”

"Will we ever meet in the future? Maybe, maybe not. But at least we should try to see. Lan Li said with a smile, but his heart was heavy.

All the children applauded, and their eyes were full of hope to look at Lan Li, which made Lan Li a little embarrassed. He held back his emotions, showed a big smile, raised his right hand and pressed it down, "I'm not a teacher, I'm just an actor." In the eyes of many, an actor is not a good role model. ”

This teaser succeeded in making everyone laugh, and Betty, who was standing at the back of the classroom, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks and burst into laughter.
