With years of accumulated experience, Jerry Towne quickly integrated into the crew of "Shocking".

He can shoot two or three scenes a day, and he can shoot them in two hours, and in his spare time, he either drinks and chats with the cast or watches Monica's performance in front of the camera.

This was Jerry's first time watching Monica perform live.

"Cameron, don't go over, come back quickly!"

In the studio, the opening scene is being filmed.

Cage's Cameron Bonn leaves the bar with his wife who is three months pregnant, and when he is about to get into the car, he meets three hooligans who had molested his wife in front of him at the bar, and at this moment they are taunting and provoking Cameron and maliciously slandering his wife.

Monica plays Cameron's wife, Theresia Bonn.

Cameron, who had just learned that his wife was pregnant, was full of apologies for his wife, and his military career made it impossible for him to take care of the family, so in the face of the insults of the three street thugs, Cameron was very angry, opened the car door and let his wife into the car, and he walked straight over.

Monica then got out of the car and called him anxiously, "Honey, don't go over, let's go." ”

Cage glanced back at her, still walking towards the three of them.

At this time, Monica was so anxious that tears came out, the rain and tears were mixed, and she shouted loudly: "Cameron, come back quickly!"

The five-second close-up flashes by, and the camera quickly follows to shoot Cage fighting with the three provocateurs, first showing weakness, being knocked to the ground by the other party, and then rising, and cleanly knocking down the three.

There's not much new in this kind of action scene.

One of the three people who were beaten by Cage tried to stab Cage to death, but he didn't expect to be snatched by Cage with a dagger and cut his throat, blood splattered, and he died on the spot.

Seeing her husband being beaten, Monica hurriedly ran to the bar for help, and the result was ...... But when she saw that her husband's face was covered with blood, he killed someone.

“Cut!”

Monica's scene is divided into two parts, before and after, and director Simon West affirms her performance, and this scene is repeated over and over again.

Seeing that Monica was drenched with water from the sky, Jerry took off his coat and draped her over her, followed her into the dressing room, removed her makeup and changed clothes.

In all fairness, Monica's performance just now was remarkable, definitely above par, but Jerry Towne thought she could have done better.

For example, Cage helped her into the car, and she could pull Cage on his clothes when he turned around...... When Cage splatters blood on his face after killing, she can hold him, wipe off the blood covering his eyes, and so on.

In Jerry's view, there is a lot of drama everywhere, and there is quite a lot of room to play, and there is no need to add lines, relying on body language to show all the excellent qualities of Trisia Bonn's kindness, gentleness and love for her husband, making the image of a good wife more three-dimensional and profound.

However, Monica only shows kindness and concern for her husband, and Cage is anxious when she is beaten, and she is sincere in her dialogue, and her expression is accurate, but her body language is almost non-existent.

Therefore, the wife played by Monica in this scene is beautiful and charming, and the affectionate scene with her husband in the bar is amazing, but Cage's acting skills obviously suppress her, so that compared with him, although Monica is not reduced to the background, her presence has weakened a lot.

In the evening, after the passion, Jerry told her what he thought.

Then I told Monica about her performance experience in body language without reservation, reminding her to be good at grasping the characteristics of the role, combining expression changes and body language, so as to make her performance more full, three-dimensional and layered.

Monica listened attentively to his chest, gladly accepted, and then gave him a very generous reward...... Defend for offense, and do it again.

…………

After the first half of filming escorted the prisoners to the plane, the crew changed scenes.

At this point, Jerry and Monica's shooting task with the crew has come to an end for the time being, and then, the two scenes are relatively independent, with two assistant directors leading the film crew to shoot the scenes of the two of them.

In other words, half a month after filming, Jerry and Monica's scenes began to be filmed intensively, except for the last few scenes, the other scenes were filmed in the studio.

The core of the film "Earthbreaking" is Cameron and more than 20 prisoners on the plane, who are the protagonists of the film, occupying most of the performance time, and the performance on the ground is in charge of Jerry and Monica, and the post-editing is interspersed together, which is the complete film.

Taking advantage of Uncle Hai's relationship, Jerry suggested that the two film crews shoot together, so that he and Monica would not have to be separated, and they could continue to live together.

At the same time, Jerry assisted the two assistant directors in filming the indoor scene where Monica's character Trisia Bonn and her eight-year-old daughter appeared at the same time, and then filmed himself leading the prison guards to detect the prisoners' long-planned intention to hijack the plane.

In addition to filming, Jerry and Monica played with an eight-year-old girl, drove a Corvette C5 blue sports car provided by car sponsor Chevrolet, first went to the city center for dinner, then went shopping, shopping, watched movies, and accompanied her to the amusement park.

Monica is very fond of children, although many times, Jerry feels that she herself is still a child who has not grown up, and she is too playful to look like a mature woman in her first year.

While filming and playing, time flies, and the filming progress is not slow, and the shooting task assigned by director Simon West has been successfully completed.

Just as Jerry and Monica finished filming their own independent scenes one after another, another supporting actor with very personal characteristics of the crew also came to the studio to shoot a few of his warm scenes.

The actor who is quite personal in Jerry's opinion is none other than Steve Buscemy.

Jerry had drunk with him twice before and was extremely impressed with Buscemi.

This guy is extremely recognizable in front of the camera, very distinctive, with deep-set eye sockets, bulging eyeballs, and likes to purse his mouth, because he has two chic buckteeth in his mouth, and he doesn't like to sit there angrily, which gives him an eerie feeling, and if he grins and smiles, it is even more eerie and terrifying, a natural villain.

Steve Buscemi is not a professional actor, he worked as a firefighter for 4 years before entering the industry, and after switching to entertainment, he has a wide range of interests, screenwriters, TV series producers and behind-the-scenes work in movies, he has tried it all once, but he is not very interested in film acting.

Entered the film industry at the age of 30 and participated in many films, although they played small roles, many of the roles were very distinctive and left a deep impression on the audience.

Now Steve is nearly forty years old, and his acting skills are becoming more and more skilled, this time he plays the perverted murderer Garland who tortured and killed more than 30 people in the play, the role is not heavy, and the appearance time is also very short, Jerry has not seen his performance before, it just so happens that he is coming over now, Jerry pulls Monica to watch him perform live.

In addition to Steve Buscemi, there are many excellent actors in the crew of "Astounding".

Needless to say, Nicholas, the new Oscar winner, no matter how his acting skills decline in the future, but at the moment he is definitely one of the few top superstars in Hollywood.

The crew of "Shocking" talked to Cage early, and Bruckheimer and he have known each other for many years, so his salary is only 12 million US dollars, and it is said that after winning the actor crown, Cage's agent directly increased his salary to 20 million, and he just took over a film contract for him not long ago, with a salary of 18 million US dollars.

In addition to admiring Cage and Steve Buscemy, Jerry also admires the role of the male number three who is second only to himself, John Malkovich who plays the villain Sellers in the play, and McKeltay Williamson, a black strong man who plays Dem.

Jerry saw a bit of Johnny Depp's neurotic performance form in John Malkovich's performance, and it was difficult for the two to say who imitated whom, because Malkovich was six years older than Depp, was born as a professional actor, and entered the industry three years earlier than Depp.

However, Johnny Depp is much more famous than him, and he is famous all over the world for his unique neurotic performance, so although John Malkovich has good acting skills, with Depp in front of him, he can only follow behind.

And the black strong man McKeltai's acting skills are not good, there are both the simplicity of Denzel-HSD in the performance, and the little cunning of Will Smith, the performance traces are too heavy, and the acting skills are obviously immature, but he is very good at making friends, open-minded, and gets along well with Jerry.

“Cut！”

As the director's voice sounded on the set, the scene of Garland, the murderer played by Steve Buscemi, sitting at the table and listening to the little girl singing, passed smoothly.

Jerry clapped as he walked over to him, shook his hand, and praised his performance.

In this scene, Garland, the murderer played by Bucimi, does not have many lines, and relies on quiet body language to interpret the inner struggle and confession of a perverted murderer after hearing such a simple and innocent little girl's singing.

It was a very wonderful performance, and Jerry was secretly shocked when he saw it.

At the same time, while watching the live performance, Jerry whispered to Monica how Steve Buscemi used body language to interpret the inner changes of the character, and the key to it was the doll he held in his hand.

A notorious psychopathic murderer sits at a table singing with little girls, playing with her beloved rag doll.

The song is very green, but the echo is long, and the rag doll is a little dirty, but the murderer Garland holds it tightly in his hand, as if someone is robbing him.

When parting, he took away the rag doll given to him by the little girl, and silently completed the confession process of the perverted murderer to change his ways.

What is acting?

Literally, "table" refers to expressions and lines, and "acting" refers to body movements.

What is acting?

Steve Buscemi's performance in front of the camera quietly and in one go is called acting!

Before that, Jerry and Monica had talked a lot about their acting experiences, but they couldn't say as much as they saw it with their own eyes.

Watching Buscemi act, Monica felt that he acted well, but she couldn't tell what was good about him.

After Jerry's detailed narration, Monica suddenly realized that a lot of half-understood written knowledge was suddenly unveiled, and her heart suddenly opened up.

However, Monica still has doubts in her heart, because Jerry is too young, which makes her unsure whether Jerry is right.

It wasn't until after the release of "Earthbreaking" that Steve Buscemi was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at major awards for this film, and Monica completely believed what Jerry said.

A really good actor who can win art awards for his superb acting skills even in commercial action movies.
