Chapter 37: "I Screwed Up."

β€œcut!” Heckford, who was holding a megaphone, stopped after a few seconds of silence, "Rest for fifteen minutes, wait for this shot and do it all over again." ”

He clapped his hands and beckoned everyone to go to the side to drink water and rest, while he sat in place and played the presence of Theorod just photographed over and over again. Undoubtedly, if Theolod is allowed to act according to the script, his performance should be good, and he can see it when he read the script before.

And isn't his free play bad? No, quite the opposite......

Heckford looked at the man in the camera who could perfectly match the lighting effects and the direction of the camera, and suddenly couldn't make up his mind. He is indeed a child born for acting, his every move in front of the camera is very artistic, under his free play and various small actions, the role of Kevin is even more attractive than described in the script, in contrast, Heckford found that Kevin in the script is so blunt and clichΓ©......

Incomparably real, like God's favorite...... No, it should be said that he is the darling of the devil, because he is extremely loyal to his desire for victory and vanity. But he also has a conscience that all humans have, and when he knows that his subject is a villain, the subtle changes in facial muscles on his face and the fluctuations in his eyes can almost touch everyone's emotions, as if through his deep and mysterious eyes, he can see a proud struggling soul, stubborn and calm.

And when he succumbed to his vanity, the arrogance and evil spirit that he was comfortable in his field of expertise made people can't stop looking away, making the curse of "scum" difficult to blurt out, but he had to admit the charm of this scumbag.

Not to mention that this child, who is not yet nineteen years old, can still use his acting skills to guide others to play. His free play is not bad, but too good!

And that's what bothers Hookford because he's played so well.

However, how many actors can deal with his sudden sexual freedom freely? Heckford knew that Theolod's habit of changing lines was definitely not accidental, and nine times out of ten he did it when he starred in "First Degree Fear", but at that time, there were very few actors who played opposite him, and most of them were experienced veteran actors, so they could react flexibly under this child's perverted acting skills and play.

However, this time Theorod is the leading actor, and the actors who play with him are not necessarily acting schools, there are also a lot of group performances and tricks, even if he can guide others to perform, but these group performances and tricks that are not good acting skills can not meet Hekford's requirements at all, they stand with Theorod, stand tall and low, and are clear to the point that they can't bear to look at it directly.

To put it simply, the distance between the two is too great, which makes Heckford happy and worried. I am happy that the fierce sparks that come out when my two male protagonists play opposite each other will definitely arouse the audience's endless adrenaline, and maybe they will win an award. The worry is that Theolod will put too much pressure on other actors.

From the perspective of the shooting and the future development of Theorod himself, this is not very good.

Thinking of this, Heckford called Theolod in front of him and looked at him with a stern face: "Do you think you just looked good?" ”

Theolod looked at Hekford, who had the words "I'm not happy" clearly written on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You kid, don't you know what modesty is? Heckford almost couldn't hold back the stern sis on his face, and he scolded with a smile.

"No, I'm just very self-aware."

"Okay, okay, I'll admit it, your table just now is really good, it's so good, it's so good that I want to hold your head and kiss you now."

Unlike Hekford, who was full of helpless smiles, Theorod still maintained his seriousness and strictness at the beginning: "But what I just did was not suitable for that set of shots, it was just my solo show, and my solo show was very successful, but after all, I was making a movie, not a one-man show by myself." My brilliant freedom alone would ruin a courtroom scene held up by so many actors. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You actually understand? At this point, Heckford was surprised.

"As I said, I'm very self-aware." Theolod laughed, "Actually, I found out about this problem when I was halfway through the game, sorry, Taylor, I messed up, I messed up with my too strong performance, but at that point I couldn't end there, so I could only continue to hold up the whole act, so that ...... As you can see, it was a solo show, not a movie. ”

Yes, Theolod did find his own problem. The problem of making those two movies before was not prominent, but now it is different, so that he, who has long been accustomed to playing against excellent actors, forgot that when he plays against newcomers or semi-newcomers, in addition to guidance, he also needs to take care. In his previous life, he didn't have such concerns, because the people at that time already knew his ability, so the strength of those who were qualified to play with him was definitely not bad, but now......

Soaring acting skills also score objects, otherwise others will think that you are bullying newcomers, and it is not good to leave a mean impression on the set. Theo Rod sighed a little annoyed, Theo, Theo, you are also a person who has lived for more than sixty years, how can you forget such an important thing because you are too obsessed with acting?

Seeing that Theolod began to self-reflect without being reminded, Heckford, who wanted to tell him the rules and unspoken rules on the Hollywood set with a straight face, was a little embarrassed, he patted the other party's shoulder, and his tone was a little lighter: "It's okay, Theo, wait a while and you still act like you just did, I believe that after they go through it with you, they won't cooperate so jerky, but after that, I hope you try to play as little as freely as possible......"

"Of course, I'm not saying that you are strictly forbidden to do this, but when you are faced with these tricks and extras...... I know you know what I mean - although it's strange to say that to a semi-new person who has only acted in two films, and some of the people in those roles and ensembles have more experience than you in the movies you have - you have to take care of them, and you've actually done a pretty good job of guiding them, right? It's the first time I've seen a semi-new person in the lead. ”

Heckford said, pausing, and a strange and excited smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"But, but! I must order you with my dual capacity as director and producer, my actor, my Kevin, when you meet that old guy from Milton, don't be merciful because the other party is old, I order you to slip on the ground, with the momentum of overturning that old man, you are free to play to Satan's hometown, I don't care about you, hehehe, what I want is a bloody war, understand? ”

Theolod looked at Hekford, who looked like he had been injected with a stimulant, and suddenly said, "...... Taylor, I want to ask you something. ”

"What?"

"Do you have a voice recorder?"

"Yes, what do you want that thing for?"

"I don't know why I always have the urge to record your words that are almost like playing a joke and watching a good show, and then listen to Pacino, and then stand aside in surprise and panic and watch him with his hands in his face as he has a real blood-boiling 'war' on your face, and call everyone to watch with a 'frightened' cry, and by the way, take it as a behind-the-scenes footage of 'actor vs. director - round1'...... When Pacino's old-timers were messing around on the road, I wasn't even born. ”

Theolod is not only referring to Pacino's "The Godfather", but also to the other party's childhood experience. Like Theorod, he was born in a chaotic neighborhood that in his time was the Bronx, the most crime district in the country. And his parents divorced when he was two years old, and even Pacino, an old guy with max flirting skills, broke down at the age of nine.

So one can imagine what level of force is worth for Pacino, who has been living on the streets since he was a child.

"......" Heckford silently put the half-drawn recorder back into his pocket, this was the first time he felt what the legendary white cut black is. But when it comes to "sparring", ...... Aren't you kid the kind of guy who messes around? Why don't you communicate with him? Both of you are of Italian descent, and even your early experiences are so similar!

Fifteen minutes later, Heckford relived the scene and shot dozens of shots over and over again, but he never seemed satisfied, so much so that his grumpy "cut" echoed on the set until today's day.

In the next few courtroom scenes, Theolod finally began to act honestly according to the script, which finally relieved the group performances and tricks that had been worried about his sudden free play. They thought it must be the credit of Hekford's private conversation with Theorod, who was an acting genius, but no actor could be above the director, otherwise the film would lose its soul.

Almost everyone thought that Hekford explicitly forbade Theorod to play freely, and some of them even made up the conflict between the actor and the director, but they didn't expect that Hekford did prohibit Theorod from playing freely in front of them, but when he changed the object - such as Charlize Theron, who played the female role, and Alpacino, one of the leading actors, Hekford wanted Theorod to play freely, and even encouraged the other party to let him come as he liked.

This also led to the fact that when Theolod and Pacino played against each other for the first time, the onlookers and the crew were all shocked.

Heckford habitually concentrated all the interior scenes together to shoot, which also made the overall sequence of the film all disrupted during filming, and Theolod's first official confrontation with Pacino turned out to be the high/low tide scene at the end of the film.

In fact, when Heckford put the most important high/tide scene at the beginning, he still had some concerns, after all, he was worried that the first formal cooperation between the two was not tacit, so that the scene became extremely stiff and jerky. But he thought about it, Pacino and Theolod are an old drama bone and a small drama spirit, maybe the free play of this little drama spirit will surprise the old drama bone at the same time, and it can also arouse a different chemical reaction.

So he took the risk of bringing the high/tide drama forward.

Heckford looked at the shirt, which had changed into a red paint dye, and sat silently waiting for the stylist to make his style extremely wolf bèi and decadent Theorod, and then looked at Pacino, who was sitting side by side with Theorod, while letting the hairstylist fiddle with his hair, and chatting with Theorod every sentence, and suddenly felt so nervous that his palms were sweating.

At the end of the plot, after witnessing his beloved wife killing herself in his arms, and learning from his mother's mouth that Milton is his biological father, after realizing what Milton had done, an angry Kevin takes a gun and comes to Milton's residence to confront him, but the answer he gets from Milton surprises him. Milton turned out to be the embodiment of Satan, and he turned out to be the son of Satan. Satan wants him to unite with his sister to have offspring and help him wrest control of the human world from God. In the end, humanity made Kevin choose to commit suicide.

But before he committed suicide, there was a very complicated inner drama, and Milton's long lines must have had an impact on Kevin. Heukford wants to see how far Theolod can go under the pressure of Pacino's full aura.
