Thanks to David MacDonald's strong directing ability, the filming of the crew of "Love In" proceeded in an orderly manner.

David was a perfectionist, and Hawke sometimes even found him a bit nitpicking.

is like a scene where he played at a super level, and David insisted on reshooting it because there were some oil stains on the cuffs of his clothes at that time.

Since then, the people in charge of the costume have been walking on thin ice, and the money has to be double-checked every time the shooting starts to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The average number of NGs in a scene slowly dropped from a dozen times to seven or eight times, and Hawke could clearly feel the progress of his acting skills.

The degree of tacit understanding with Jocelyn is also increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

One interesting thing is that in addition to filming and discussing lines in public on set, David forbade Hawke and Jocelyn to contact each other and talk.

"You have to maintain a certain sense of distance, so as to ensure that the state of the filming is correct and in line with the relationship between the male and female protagonists," David added, "Of course, you can also ignore my rules, if you think your expressiveness can meet my requirements." ”

The answer was obviously impossible, and Hawke still chose to follow David's request honestly.

Even though the two filmed a kiss scene in mid-November, they restrained themselves from each other outside the play and tacitly stopped talking about it.

There is no way, the world is big, and the director is the biggest.

Fast forward to early December, and the whole of London was covered in snow.

After the filming of a scene, Yang Tian, who had recently been reduced from a temporary agent to a miscellaneous assistant, hurriedly came over and handed Hawke a cup of hot water.

"Thank you. Hawke's voice was a little hoarse, and he thanked him and drank the whole glass of water in one gulp.

During this time, he felt that he had said more than he had in the previous year, and he had hardly stopped.

is different from the original script, David, who pursues perfection, includes almost all the romantic scenes of men and women talking in the script, and then lets them interpret them one by one in ordinary life language.

The preliminary estimate is that more than a dozen scenes have been changed, and the length of hundreds of hours of film shooting, if all of them are put into the finished film, it is estimated that it will be more than four hours.

According to the plan, if it is filmed until the end of January next year, the length will exceed that of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Of course, the countless scenes in the end will be cut, leaving the best of the hour and a half.

Although this play is a one-man show for the male and female protagonists, there are still several supporting roles with lines in some scenes, all of which add up to less than ten minutes of scenes.

Thompson and Glenn are such supporting characters.

In a scene where Hawke and Jocelyn travel around London and ask passers-by for directions, the two play the role of out-of-town joint performers and chatter with the two protagonists for a few minutes.

Looking at Hawke, who was carefully served by the costume artist and makeup artist in front of him, Thompson's eyes were full of jealousy.

He has been trained as a professional actor since he was a child, and he has studied professional acting, and he has been in the British film industry for almost ten years, and he is still a trick in his thirties.

Born in Liverpool, he was ridiculed by countless people in the early stage of his debut due to his accent, and I don't know how many sleepless days and nights it took to master a London accent.

Even though he sold his house five years ago, spent a lot of money to get his teeth straightened, and got rid of that deformed jaw that made people feel inferior, the dawn of his acting career still hasn't come.

And the person in front of him, who is said to have just turned eighteen years old, and the crew rumored that he had never acted before, so Director David had to NG more than a dozen times can be the protagonist!

Heaven is intolerable!

There is also the heroine, who is said to have won this role by virtue of her family's relationship, and she is also a good person with no acting skills.

He has always heard that David is an irritable person, and he has scolded and cried several actors in movies before, how can he have so much patience this time?

Is it because the other party is Chinese, even the independent film industry has to compromise with capital?

Die, this money-worshipping world!

Thompson clenched his fists hard, his joints white, and for a moment he wanted to let this Chinese man know what real acting was.

Art cannot be tarnished by such people!

"Thompson, what do you want? Why don't you hurry up and get ready!"

The disgruntled voices of the field reporters pulled Thompson back to reality.

He retracted his expression and nodded, then walked over.

When he passed by the field notes, he saw a young man, and his face suddenly became a little tense, remembering some unbearable memories recently.

The young man was a small assistant subordinate to the person in charge of the casting of the supporting role, wearing a Sven eye and looking polite.

Touching his buttocks and remembering the scene three days ago when he pleaded with the other party for a role, Thompson, who endured the pain, tried his best to keep himself calm and walked to the set.

"Don't forget that you have to speak with a Liverpool accent, don't forget about the London accent after learning it for too long," said the casting director's subordinate disdainfully, "or we'll have to find someone with that accent again." ”

"Okay, Director. Thompson said word for word.

The accent that he has been trying to hide has become a stepping stone for this character, and such an ironic cause and effect makes Thompson feel bitter inside.

......

The scene begins, and for the first time, four characters appear in the entire shot.

This scene is about Luo Yunfei and Selina, played by the two, who get lost after an hour in London, and then ask passers-by what attractions are nearby, but they don't want to meet two street performers from Liverpool.

As the second most difficult dialect to understand in British English accents, Liverpool accents have a unique joyful charm that can produce interesting effects when used in small quantities.

Several people follow the lines and shoot smoothly, and in the middle, Thompson's character will take the turn to introduce the two of them to the program and time of their joint performance, and invite them to watch.

"Glenn would play the cow in the prop costume and I would play the milkman. Thompson said in Hawke's unintelligible accent.

This should be his last line, but Thompson is not willing to accept that he only has half a minute of scenes, and he must seize this opportunity to show himself.

"You know that in Liverpool, beer is the best thing to drink," Thompson suddenly changed the subject, "It's much better than the wine you Chinese imitate, we Liverpool girls ......"

As soon as Thompson opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly, and from time to time he said a few words like "you Huaxia".

Liverpool accent Hawke can't understand it very well, but the word "Huaxia" is completely reflexive.

When Thompson said the second sentence, Hawke realized that this person was here to stir up trouble, and his lines had gone beyond the scope of director's free play and detached from the character.

Thompson didn't know that Hawke was Chinese in the play.

Thinking of the gossip shared with him by the eighteenth-tier artists around him when he was training, Hawke knew that this supporting role was going to come over to steal the show and find fault.

David's side didn't shout to stop, it seemed that Hawke needed to solve the problem himself.

The eighteenth-tier artist told Hawke that when he encounters this situation, he needs to break out the small universe of acting, don't be cowardly, be confronted with the other party, and use his aura to subdue the supporting role of the thorn!

It's a pity that Hawke doesn't know what the aura is now, and if it's really better than his acting skills, he may be killed again.

And if this really works, the eighteenth line will not be the eighteenth parallel.

Over and over again, Hawke acted as if he was listening intently to Thompson's performance, and over and over again he thought about what to do.

He clearly knows that he has an advantage that no one else has - he is the main character.

I saw that Hawke in the camera turned his head, leaned close to Joseline's right ear and whispered, "Can you help me translate what he is talking about?"

In the first second of Hawke's action, almost all of the cameras around him turned to him, leaving only one to focus on Thompson.

Jocelyn was also a little unhappy when she realized Thompson's provocation just now, and she was thinking of countermeasures to fight back.

Seeing Hawke's action, Jocelyn suddenly understood, and turned her head to say to Hawke, "Actually, I don't understand." ”

"London is such an interesting place, isn't it? ”

"Well, it's a very inclusive city. ”

Seeing the two people talking head-to-ear, Thompson, who ignored his long speech, was a little panicked and overwhelmed, and stopped talking.

"I'm sorry friend," Hawke said with a laugh, "we might be leaving, and I wish you and your companions a nice show." ”

Then Jocelyn followed Hawke around and strode away from the camera.

"Click!" Seeing that the protagonists are gone, what else is there to shoot?

"Jack, bring these two gentlemen over to settle the payment, and everyone will rest for fifteen minutes to continue filming. David said to Jack, the casting director.

After seeing the two leaving, David said to the photographer: "The clip just now was cut, and it is estimated that the people of China or Liverpool will not be satisfied with the broadcast." ”

The photographer nodded and deleted the entire paragraph.

Thompson was still a little confused when he got the 200 euro coins, but he didn't expect the shoot to be so fast and so smooth.

He thought proudly that when the movie was released, the audience would be able to see how clumsy that kid's acting skills were, and I was the one who shone the most!
