043 Coming soon
"Since the filming process is so hard, what is the most memorable moment for you after the filming?" said Daisy, with a smile still on her lips, full of interest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She could see that Lan Li was a little excited, even if she tried to suppress it, she still leaked it, but in her words and demeanor, there was a kind of old-fashioned, elegant and calm cunning and wisdom. It's a really interesting thing. Daisy began to wonder how Lan Li's agent trained him - without an agent, it would be almost impossible for a fledgling newcomer to meet such a standard.
"Hmm. Lan Li didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, he did have many special moments in his mind, such as the difficult moment when he was injured in filming but still went into battle with injuries, such as completing more than 40 hours of filming without sleep in the mud of the rainstorm, such as when he really felt Eugene's inner struggle and confusion and made the performance a kind of enjoyment, "Start the first scene." ”
In the end, Lan Li still chose a different answer. "It's my first film, and it's hard to describe when you're standing in front of the camera. Lan Li reminisced carefully, the tip of his tongue seemed to be able to taste the nervousness mixed with excitement, expectation mixed with the taste of panic, two lives, step by step, he finally walked in front of the camera, "Because I was too urgent, I was so eager to express myself, as a result, less than five seconds after the start of shooting, I ushered in the first 'ng' in my life." ”
The content of the story turned sharply, the corners of Daisy's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and the low laughter of the sound engineer and assistants came from the side, "Is it ng that is unforgettable, or is it the first scene?"
"It's a bit of both. Lan Li couldn't help but smile in his eyes, "This scene made the actor's dream finally come true, but at the same time, it also told me that it is not so easy to become a good actor." ”
Dream. Daisy really laughed when she heard the word, and sure enough, she was still a fledgling young man, always with unrealistic dreams in an ivory tower, describing Hollywood as a sun-drenched stage surrounded by flowers. "Tell us a little bit about the character you've played? Daisy stopped her personal question about Lan Li and returned to the "Pacific War" itself, and the back and forth conversation just now was already far more than expected.
"Eugene Sledgehammer Slake. Lan Li tapped his chin slightly, the surname "Sledge" literally translates to the meaning of sledgehammer, so he earned the nickname "sledgehammer" in the army, "He is an idealist, with a sincere patriotic heart, and an unwavering belief in God." But in the cruel reality of war, his beliefs, beliefs, and ideals began to be tested. It can be said that Eugene is the current situation that we are most concerned about now: what does war bring besides death? ”
In a few words, Daisy's personality image appeared in Eugene's mind, which should also be a summary completed under the guidance of the agent. If Daisy knew that Lan Li didn't have an agent now, her expression should be very exciting at this time.
"After the series was finished, my biggest regret was that I didn't get to meet Mr. Eugene Slaich in person. Lan Li continued, and following this topic, Daisy talked to Lan Li about the veterans again. Like "Band of Brothers", the crew invited veterans who had actually experienced the Pacific War to the crew to communicate with the actors and the crew to ensure that that history was presented as realistically as possible.
After a short conversation, it was full of fun, and the assistant next to her reminded her, and Daisy realized that there were three actors waiting behind her, and before she knew it, she had forgotten the passage of time, "Okay, one last question." Daisy looked at the list of questions in her hand, "Many people are looking forward to the 'Pacific War' because of the excellence and excellence of 'Band of Brothers'. In your opinion, what's the difference between the two series?"
It's a question of official standards, but it's also a matter of foreshadowing.
Lan Li thought about it seriously, "I think the two works are completely different, although they also focus on World War II, 'Band of Brothers' is a bloody work, while 'Pacific War' is a cold work. This is their essential difference, and the audience's expectations and harvest for the series will also be different. ”
Daisy opened her mouth, and reflexively wanted to continue the conversation with Lan Li, every sentence is worth an exclusive interview!
However, Lan Li stood up with a warm smile on his face, "Thank you for today's interview, and I hope everything goes well in the rest of the work." ”
Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly, watching Lan Li's back as she left. Hollywood hadn't seen such an interesting newcomer for a while, and Daisy was starting to get a little interested in the "war in the Pacific".
Generally speaking, a magazine would give a maximum of six to eight pages for an interview with a large crew like "War in the Pacific," and considering that the biggest highlights of the series are Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, they will occupy the main pages. Therefore, even for a core actor like Lan Li, the interview questions will be controlled to about fifteen, and seven or eight meaningful questions will be selected for publication.
However, Daisy had asked Lan Li nearly thirty questions just now, and the exchange time was extended from the booked fifteen minutes to twenty-five minutes. This was a big surprise.
Retracting her emotions, Daisy looked at another actor sitting in front of her, smiled professionally, and threw herself back into work.
After the interview, Lan Li let out a long breath. During the interview, the feeling was not very obvious, but after the end, the sequelae caused by the excessive acceleration of the heart were revealed, the sweat on the back cooled down, the muscles began to be faintly sore, and the obviously overexcited emotions remained in the blood and did not completely disappear.
Although Lan Li is a human being, persevering towards the dream of being an actor, he clearly knows that the day of exposure to the spotlight will come sooner or later, whether he wants it or not, this is part of the actor's life, and he thinks he is ready enough, but when he actually enters the Sunset Tower Hotel, really stands under the camera lens, and really faces the microphone of the interview, the intricate feeling of the real and the unreal intertwined still makes him difficult to adapt to for a while. After all, the experience of the previous life can't help anything, this is the first time the big girl gets on the sedan chair.
Lan Li needs time to digest it.
Now, the part that Lan Li can work hard as an actor has come to an end, filming seriously, performing wholeheartedly, and cooperating with publicity, and the next judging work will be handed over to the general public and professional film critics.
Lan Li couldn't help but wonder what people would say about his performance, praise and criticism, or did it not attract any attention at all? Compared with Joseph Mezerou in the previous life, did he receive better or worse evaluations? After he played Eugene, will the public feedback trajectory of "Pacific War" still follow the pattern of the previous life? How will his career as an actor develop after the start of this work? Stand still, soar into the sky, or return to calm?
As a veteran movie fan, Lan Li clearly knows that there are many factors that determine whether a work is good or not, and the actor is only one part of it, the director, script, photography, lighting, costumes, publicity strategy, marketing methods, target audience, etc., all of which may affect the reputation of the work, and the influence that actors can exert is far lower than imagined.
However, Lan Li still has no way to suppress his thoughts, because from here on, things will be out of his control and towards an unknown - not only because no one can manipulate the market, but also because no one can predict the future, Lan Li is a reborn person, his future, his history, his existence, is an unknown anomaly, an uncertain question mark.
I couldn't help but think of George and Elizabeth's objections, "You're not a genius, you've never been." ”
Cruelly and mercilessly sentenced him to death. Now, it's finally time for the public to judge, isn't it? Although he won the opportunity to star in the "Pacific War", it does not mean that he can win the hearts of audiences and film critics, there are countless geniuses in this world, but only a few can succeed. Where will his dream of being an actor go next?
All of this is brand new and unpredictable. This made Lan Li a little nervous, but more excited, and couldn't wait to move on to the next step, calmly accepting any form of result, because he knew that this was what he wanted, and even if it was a magnificent fiasco, he would never regret it!
Edith finished her photo shoot with Rami and motioned for the next actor to continue on stage, she began to look for light and angle again, but she accidentally saw Lan Li standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he quietly overlooked the unobstructed horizon outside the window, and at the far end you could see the blue coastline, extending in the undulating lines of the city, the quiet and peaceful side face seemed to precipitate all the vicissitudes of time, stripped of all the brilliance, and watched the world change unpretentiously.
Reflexively, Edith lifted the camera lens, re-focused on the subject she was most familiar with, pressed the shutter, and silently recorded the moment frozen in the sunlight.
Looking down at the moment of stagnation in the digital camera, the elegant and gentle temperament has a lingering sadness and loneliness, but with an indomitable determination and sharpness, the contradictory sense of conflict makes people can't help but want to explore. Edith discovers that she never really seems to know this brother, what drove him to embark on the path of acting, and what is it that leaves a wound in his soul.
"Edith!" the assistant next to her called Edith back to her senses, she turned her head sharply, the thoughts in her eyes settled, and she raised her voice back, "Here we are." Then he picked up the camera again and got to work.
Night was slowly falling, and the interview and photo shoot of "Vanity Fair" was not completed until after 10 o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow, the premiere of "War in the Pacific" will be grandly announced!
