Chapter 1263: Idol? Unwanted
Roy smiled: "I'm not saying that you did it wrong to give them the opportunity, I just want to tell you that what matters is you, it's your ability to shoot movies! Those oriental actors you have used, if they appear in the movies of other Hollywood directors, do you still think they can perform in your films?"
What he wants to say is that it's really tiring to shoot his wife's ass.
If you accept her praise honestly, why should you get to the bottom of it? But he was still glad that he had finally shifted her attention from Zhang Guorong, who was interviewed, to himself.
"I still think there's something wrong with what you're saying!" Leila gave another example: "Take Silence this time, you should have seen the rough cut of the film, right? Can you deny that he is excellent?"
"I certainly won't deny it. Zhang's performance is very powerful, very tense, and can easily bring the audience into his play. ”
"That's right, so what Oriental actors lack is still an opportunity, as long as they are given more roles, they will eventually get more progress!"
Roy slapped his forehead: "Honey, do we have to dwell on this?" I want to say that it is not that they don't need a chance, or that they don't perform well, but that your presence allows them to show their talents more. And it's not so easy for other directors to do this kind of thing. Have you forgotten that there's only one Leila Moran in Hollywood!"
"Well, thank you for the compliment. Leila finally understood what he meant. It's just that what he said brought to the surface the problems that had been ignored in her mind.
He was right. It's not easy for Hollywood to accept Oriental actors, or simply Asian actors. Not only that, but it is not easy for actors from many Asian countries to gain a foothold in Hollywood. They have to withstand more pressure than whites and blacks, and use 100 explorations to pursue one chance.
The problem is that there are not many directors in Hollywood who accept their talents, and if you really want to let Orientals enter the film world more, you need more and longer preparations. It's not something that can be done in a while.
"I hope that after "Silence" is broadcast this time, more people can see the level of oriental actors. She sighed.
Roy opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Even among the Oriental actors, how many can do it at such a level?" But he still didn't say it, he didn't need to let his wife think too much, so as not to think about it badly?
At this moment, the interview on the computer continued.
The host asked Zhang Guorong another question that many people care about: "What is the difference between Hollywood film shooting and the East?"
He thought for a moment and replied, "Probably more professional." I don't know what other Hollywood directors do, after all, I worked with Moran both times. In Director Moran's crew, you don't see anything unprofessional. In addition, there is probably her seriousness. She's the kind of person who can do anything for a shot. ”
"I remember one shot of fishing in the water, there weren't many fish in the stream, and they were very small, so it was very difficult to catch them, and it was even harder to fish with the original rudimentary spearfishing. If it is in a more convenient place, you can buy some relatively large fish and put them in the stream. But we photographed on a small island, and although there is fish for sale on the nearby island, almost all of them are saltwater fish. And we're going to shoot freshwater fish.
For this reason, the crew spent a long time catching the larger fish from upstream and downstream, and then waited for the most opportune moment. That one shot alone took two days!"
"It took so long!" exclaimed the host.
Zhang Guorong nodded: "At that time, I asked her why she was entangled in this kind of lens that didn't take up too long. Just give a vista and the viewer won't be able to tell if the fish you're forking is a freshwater fish or a saltwater fish. ”
"And how did she answer?"
Never doubt the viewer's eyes, she said. What you think you can't see, what you can't see, they will use the most sophisticated way to uncover those mistakes. ”
The host said "wow": "I feel that Director Moran is really serious." How did you feel at the time?"
"I think her success is no accident. Look at some of our directors here, whether it's TV or film, they get caught making mistakes for a variety of reasons shortly after the screening, which is called 'goofs'. I don't know how other people would feel when they look at that, but I personally think it's a pity. ”
"What is a pity?"
"It's as if a flaw suddenly found on a piece of white jade that should have been flawless. Isn't it worth the pity? Flawless white jade is beautiful and expensive, but when a flaw appears, its beauty and value plummet. Zhang Guorong said: "It's not that every goofs can be discovered, but it can't be denied that many of them can be completely avoided, right?"
Seeing this, Roy smiled and pinched his wife's cheek: "Are you happy to be praised?"
Leila raised an eyebrow at him, "Of course he's happy! He's my idol, don't you know?"
"Shouldn't your idol be me? I'm so much more handsome than him!"
"Isn't it because of your looks that you will fan idols?"
"My acting skills are much better than his!" Roy struggled to make himself the most important man in her eyes!
Leila was noncommittal: "Really?"
"Of course, do you want me to show you my Oscar trophy and Best Actor trophy?" he was more than happy to run downstairs to the honor room, to bring the trophy up and give her a closer look at the name engraved on it!
Leila smiled and tugged at his sleeve to prevent him from really running out, "Okay, I see, you're the best, okay?"
Roy was satisfied. But when he saw the computer screen talking about "Silence" again, his expression became serious.
Now he can say that his acting skills are better than that man, because he has the trophy certification of Oscar. But that man became the other male lead in "Silence", which means that he is also eligible to compete with him for various awards during the awards season.
They've worked together for so much time and know each other very well. If you want to talk about the other party's acting skills, he is probably the most qualified to evaluate after so many scenes. The scene with Zhang Guorong is very relaxed, very nervous, and even very happy, because they can start the scene at any time during filming.
Even after so long after the end of filming, he still has the pleasure of filming at that time and let him take it out from time to time to reminisce. That's very little for him, not even with Leo.
