In early March, Seattle was still bitterly cold, especially in the dead of night, when the wind was gusting and bitterly cold, and even if you just stood outside for a short while, you could really feel the blood start to cool down. It's only eleven o'clock, the streets are deserted, people are either staying in bars or staying at home, and no one wants to party on a warm and cold early spring night.

However, at this time, the entire crew of "Fighting Cancer" was standing outdoors, bustling and scattered in different parts of the street, blowing the cold wind and shivering. Everyone was muttering and chatting, from time to time, their eyes were cast in the same direction, looking at the situation there with their peripheral vision, and after finding that there was still no change, they wanted to stop talking but were helpless, and finally they could only sigh, withdraw their gaze, rub their arms, jump their feet, and continue to chat with their partners without a word, trying to keep warm.

Trevor-McWinney breathed into the palm of his hand, and then rubbed his palm hard, but the stiff muscles were still cold, and the cold like a cow's hair burrowed into his body along the pores, tangled in the blood, and a little friction did not help.

"No, we can't wait any longer. Travel shook his head and said depressedly, "I have to go and remind Lan Li that we can't drag it out any longer." Otherwise, after he enters the performance state, it is estimated that everyone will die of coldness. ”

"Traville. Jonathan Levine snapped.

Trafurel is the drama manager, responsible for all the scheduling and chores of the crew, the whole person is hot, daring, and handling things neatly and without delay. With such a style of acting, it is always easy to rub sparks when encountering a slow, dedicated, and unhurried actor like Lan Li.

"I know, I know, we should believe in Lan Li. Travel rolled his eyes, his attitude was really obvious, he was already annoyed by this set of rhetoric, "but we have been waiting here for thirty minutes, Jesus, hell of Christ, for thirty minutes." Who knows if it's Oscar's recent trivia that has distracted him, and if he's not in the right shape, are we going to spend a night here?"

"Yes. Seth Rogan's understatement was simple and clear, without a long argument or a posture of argumentation, and he made up his mind categorically.

Travel choked for a moment, glanced at Seth, then at Jonathan, and immediately understood, obediently closed his mouth, and did not continue arguing. It's just that the flickering eyes reveal the true thoughts that he doesn't think in his heart.

It's not just Traville, it's actually the atmosphere of the entire crew.

Before that, Lan Li's performance really convinced everyone and made people really feel the power of acting, but after the Oscars ended, the news about Lan Li almost disappeared, from the limelight to the bottom, such a huge gap, even onlookers were inevitably a little embarrassed, lamenting that "Hollywood is really changing with each passing day", not to mention the person himself?

It just so happened that there were some problems in the filming in recent days, and Lan Li seemed to have encountered some bottlenecks, not because there was a problem with the shooting, but because Lan Li had a longer time to think, precipitate, and think between shooting.

In the past, it may only take 10 to 15 minutes to prepare, but now it needs to be doubled or even tripled, and of course, after the shooting, Lan Li's performance is still fantastic, and he is always able to deliver a good performance. That's why the shooting was a little slower, but still within the scope of the plan.

The whole crew was discussing endlessly, feeling sorry for Lan Li, but it was inevitable that they took it for granted, after all, "he is only twenty-one years old, and he has only been in Hollywood for a long time, and this is his fourth film work." Those pitying, sympathetic, understanding, and complaining eyes are innumerable.

Even the "Anti-Cancer Me" crew is like this, you can imagine the mainstream mentality of Hollywood at this time.

Seth didn't hesitate to answer just now, but deep down he was also a little worried. Lan Li is really too young, twenty-one years old, just the age of impulsiveness and frizziness, emotions and mentality are easily affected by the outside world, and fluctuations in state are inevitable. What's more, the ins and outs of the Oscar incident, even Seth felt unhappy, and he took it for granted that Lan Li would be affected.

Although Seth is also an actor, he doesn't know Lan Li's performance method, rhythm, content, etc., so he naturally doesn't know Lan Li's current state. What he saw, like the rest of the crew, was Lan Li who was struggling.

However, he was different from the others in that he knew that he should trust Lan Li. At this moment, what Lan Li needs most is time and space, and in terms of performance, he can't help, at least, he can escort Lan Li as a producer. That's the only thing he can do.

Turning his head, Seth met Jonathan's gaze, and a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of both of them - it was so abnormal today, as Travel said, in the middle of the night, they had been standing here for more than half an hour.

However, both of them were helpless, except to wait, or wait. Both of them turned their heads, and their eyes fell on Lan Li again, Lan Li, who was attentive and unattended.

Lan Li didn't notice the sight around him at all, he was groping, groping for the details of the performance.

Ever since the difference between the performance of the method school and the experience school came to his mind, before each scene, he would carefully ponder which ones were felt by both Chu Jiashu and Adam, which ones were felt by Chu Jiashu and not by Adam, which ones were felt by Adam but not by Chu Jiashu, which were real emotions, and which were emotions that he had virtually replaced.

It's a lot of fun.

When I was studying acting at the academy, I had to capture the subtle changes in emotions and present them in my own style and form.

The same grief can be the grief of losing a beloved father, or the grief of losing an estranged father, the grief of a five-year-old child being robbed of his toy, or the grief of a sixteen-year-old boy losing a game...... The intensity, manner, detail, degree, and so on of these emotions are all different.

Now Lan Li is distinguishing between the same emotion, the different ways in which it is presented in Chu Jiashu and Adam. It's like using the basic skills of expressionism to further understand the difference between methodism and experience. These are three different ways of performing, which cannot be said to be completely different, but they are also very different, but the essence is performance, and their similarities and differences make Lan Li have a new experience.

Of course, Lan Li isn't even an entry right now, just capturing some corners. Even so, he still benefited greatly.

For the layman, Lan Li's groping is actually meaningless, because the performance presented on the big screen can't see the earth-shaking difference, and it may often be just a difference in the depth of the eyes; whether it is a method or an experience school, it is actually the same thing for the audience, for the director, and for the screenwriter, not to mention, "I Fight Cancer" is still a comedy movie - a comedy that does not pay so much attention to acting skills.

Even fellow actors may not be able to discern the impact of these differences in details.

But for professionals and professional actors, the real significance of such discussion and examination is not the difference in the details of the performance, but the rhythm of the whole performance, the aura of the performance, the texture of the performance, and the delicacy, profundity and richness of the emotions, which are all different.

It's like Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis and other top actors. If you put their portfolios together and browse and watch them in one go, you will find that their performances have similar traces, especially some subconscious expression habits, which are the imprints left by a person over the years, even if they rely on performances, they cannot be erased.

However, the roles they dedicate give the audience a completely different feeling. I can't say why, I can't say the pattern and trajectory of the performance, but I can distinguish the characters distinctly.

That's what performance is all about.

In other words, Lan Li is groping for the connotation of his performance. Whether it's "buried alive" or "love is crazy", in fact, Lan Li is more of a method to perform, and there is still a long way to go before forming his own style. He has been switching between different ways of acting, exploring his own understanding, and then forming his own characteristics and edges and corners, injecting soul into the performance, but he didn't expect that the breakthrough would come so quickly and so unexpectedly.

Who would have thought that a "cancer-fighting me" would bring such a big gain?

Strictly speaking, the work "Fighting Cancer" itself is not so heavy, and the ingenious thing is that the characters of this work fit into Lan Li's own experience, and awaken Lan Li's own resonance, invisibly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

That's why people always say that the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will never come again. For everyone, the opportunity that belongs to him is different. Your arsenic, my honey, this is the truth, maybe for others, "I fight cancer" is just a light comedy, but for Lan Li, it is a rare moment to break the bottleneck.

He didn't want to miss it and wouldn't miss it.

That's why Lan Li spends more time speculating about the performance before the filming of each scene starts. And not the Oscars as others have speculated.

In fact, Lan Li didn't know anything about the Oscars, just learned from Rooney that history still continued the original trajectory, and there was no understanding of the follow-up news, and the specific list of nominees was not read.

Not only that, Andy Rogers has asked Nathan Preece to block all the news in order to allow Lan Li to devote himself to the filming of "Me Against Cancer", leaving Lan Li with an absolutely quiet environment.

The only thing that can arouse Lan Li's concern is performance.
