Chapter 328: Infiltration
After a scene was filmed, Omar had a score in his heart.
The role of Philip has naturally been read by reading the script, and he can only perform it with words, expressions, and eyes.
Forrest Gump is sitting in a wheelchair today, his expression is not too much, but it is extremely smooth - it is not that he can act well if he has many expressions, and some actors frown, pout, and bite their lips as soon as they act, extremely deliberately.
Forrest Gump's old face, well, but it tastes good.
Omar didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart, but his original contempt faded silently.
Gan Jing in the wheelchair was still silent, thinking about the character of Philip.
Although the black actor opposite has already understood Gan Jing's acting skills, he himself feels a little dissatisfied.
No, director Olivier said that it was Omar's relationship, and he was very satisfied with Forrest Gump's performance, but this was the first time he had performed this kind of scene with his face alone in a wheelchair without other movements.
I have read the script thousands of times, and I still need to think about it when filming.
This is also Gan Jing's happiest moment, and simply pondering acting can put aside a lot of complicated things for him - although those things are also what he is willing to do, but in comparison, acting is more enjoyable.
When a person's body withers and can only be confined to a wheelchair, what should his mental state be?
Depressed, crazy, hysterical, languishing?
Or, endure it all and find a new chapter in your life?
A figure like Philip, who has a good education, is an elite in society, and can draw nourishment from art, he obviously has more spiritual support.
Gan Jing took a breath, and suddenly saw that the entire crew was waiting for him to finish thinking.
He smiled apologetically, thinking that Olivier might have been a little too cautious because of his own investment, and he decided to talk to the director after filming tonight.
"I'm fine. Gan Jing said in Philip's tone.
Olivier immediately gestured to the show, and the crew and cast were all back in place.
Just as the sound of the board was about to start, Gan Jing suddenly said to the director: "Is there a problem with my accent?"
This "Untouchable" is performed in French, and there is translation and transliteration in the script, which can help Gan Jing master the lines, but the accent is not easy to be completely normal.
Olivier replied: "Don't worry, it's good to have the right lip shape, and there will be dubbing in the later stage." ”
Gan Jing frowned, and wanted to make an "OK" gesture but held back, he was now Philip, and his fingers couldn't move.
Accent is a problem...... Well, easy to solve.
"Let's get started. Gan Jing said.
Olivier nodded, and sat back down.
Omar on the side was a little surprised, the director's attitude towards Forrest Gump seems to be a little different, is this the treatment of the Cannes actor?
He was a little envious, but he was a little deflated when he recalled Forrest Gump's performance just now.
Well, Omar is now coming back to his senses, and Forrest Gump sits there for a while and makes himself feel that he is Philip, and it is a bit scary to make people into the play so silently.
Is it the expression, the aura, or the words, the eyes?
Omar couldn't judge, he couldn't grasp the Oriental feeling he saw yesterday at the first sight of Forrest Gump coming out in a wheelchair, and at this moment, after the play, he couldn't grasp the origin of this Philip feeling.
This feeling makes black actors a little crazy, but it is also clear that there is a gap between the two.
Filming continues, and the director leaves time for Forrest Gump to think, but not for Omar.
From pushing the door and talking to sitting down and saying goodbye, this time the director did not shout to stop and passed smoothly.
Omar, a black man, breathed a sigh of relief, he had basically been shooting a few days ago, and the sudden call to stop today really made him feel a little panicked.
Fortunately, it is not easy to see the expression on the dark face.
This part of the scene where the two first met was only for a short time, but it was filmed until noon.
At twelve forty, the crew had dinner.
Gan Jing stepped out of his wheelchair.
The crew's boxed lunches are all unified, there is no special difference, but Olivier specially set aside the room used for filming just now, and the two directors and Forrest Gump dined here.
No matter where the entertainment industry is, they like to pay attention to a seniority.
Omar is not annoyed, but envious - being able to play the leading role is the director's hand, and he is grateful in his heart at this moment.
He had barely taken a few bites when the door to his room suddenly opened.
"Omar, come in. Another director-writer, Eric, stuck his head out to look at it and shouted in the direction Omar was sitting.
Omar stood up with his lunch box and walked into the room that he had walked into many times this morning.
He had a guess in his heart, what were the two directors and Forrest Gump doing in it?
When he entered the room with his boxed lunch, he found Forrest Gump back in his wheelchair, but his fingers were still moving.
"Hey, director, you're calling me?" Omar bared his white teeth.
Olivier let out an "um" and motioned for Omar to sit down.
The black guy sat down obediently, and the thoughts in his heart were not as calm as the expression on his face.
Director Eric, who served as his deputy on the scheduled filming, now sits quietly down to eat his own lunch box after calling Omar in.
Director Olivier also did not speak, bowing his head to eat.
Why are you calling me in......? It's weird!
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air......
The three of them didn't speak, and Omar ate a few bites of food with a little trepidation.
"Omar, do you think there's something wrong with my performance?" Suddenly, Forrest Gump's voice rang out.
As an actor who has been playing a role in all the years, Omar's mind was racing with thoughts, what do you mean, what do you mean by that, what do you want to express? The director is here.
"That's good. Omar smiled widely.
Gan Jing didn't know anything about his thoughts, just frowned and said, "In this way, now I'm Philip, and you're Dries." Look at the look on my face right now. "There is a plot in the script where Philip parachutes again, but due to physical reasons, he can only express emotions with his face, and now he wants to try that scene.
Omar put down his lunchbox, stood up and nodded, catching a glimpse of neither director speaking.
After waiting for a few seconds, Forrest Gump in the wheelchair smiled gently, shook his head to the left as if looking at someone in the other direction, and then he looked directly at the air again, and the emotion in his eyes soaked in little by little.
Omar was stunned, and a sentence suddenly jumped in his heart, some birds are not destined to be locked in cages, and every feather of them shines with the brilliance of freedom.
At this moment, Forrest Gump's eyes gave him such a feeling, as if all the free souls imprisoned in his body came out of his eyes.
It's good, it's powerful, it's fascinating.
