Because of the biopic, it was difficult for Theolod to travel outside of the United States to promote The Phantom of the Opera, especially in the United Kingdom, where the fan base is the largest. Even Theorod's friends in England, such as Guy Ritchie, have asked him more than once about the date of his promotional trip to England, and he is going to have a small reunion with him.

However, the filmmakers have decided to let Theolod be in charge of the North American promotion during the promotion period, and Anne and Patrick will do the work for the European side, except for an interview with the reporter of "Sight and Sound" magazine that flew in from the UK, and he may only have time to get together with them at the UK premiere.

Although Theolod is only in charge of North America, the scope of this area is still very large, and since "The Phantom of the Opera" entered the promotional period, many times he used his break time to fly to a city with a single place, and often just flew back and had to continue filming without much rest.

Theorod, who is busy like a spinning top spinning around, can still maintain his best condition during filming, Originally, Ted was quite worried that Theorod would not be able to bear this kind of high-intensity work toss, and in order to ensure the quality of filming, he was going to give him a few days off, but he saw that this busy man did not take this kind of workload into account at all.

At first, Ted thought that Theorod didn't want to delay the filming schedule and drag down the entire crew, but as time passed, Theolod's performance in a high-pressure state has been as stable as a mountain, and he finally made sure that his actor was not reckless but really didn't feel any pressure, seeing that he understood how to find the right balance between filming and publicity, Ted let him go.

In fact, this amount of work is nothing to Theolod. When he was filming the craziest in his last life, he also promoted two or even three movies while filming, or the kind that flew around the world, that is the real airplane as his home, and how to deal with the movies promoted at the same time is more complicated, and even Marshall is so busy that he can only get help from the jet lag.

And George Jung has been deeply rooted in his bones, he can already become this legendary drug lord anytime and anywhere, and even in the face of the interview and promotion of "The Phantom of the Opera", he wears a little bit of George's shadow that can speak and talk, but Theorod himself is an old fritter, so this shadow is not too obvious.

Shooting was not difficult for him at all.

In other words, as early as in the previous life, he had filmed the role of George Jung's routine, and now this kind of role is just easy for him. After all, at that time, he was a "snob" who took the words of the academy as a holy decree, and the role routine of this big drug lord could always win the laughter of the old guys of the academy.

So, rather than saying that Theolod is playing George Jung, it is better to say that he is based on the role of George Jung, incorporating all his acting routines in the previous world, and through standard, textbook academic performances, an impeccable George Jung, a George Jung who will never be forgotten by the academy.

In fact, when many academic fans saw this movie, they thought that Theorod had finally opened the door to "return to the right path", and they even remembered the previous "Genius Ripley", in addition to the gay elements, both this movie and Theorod's performance have the shadow of academics, so they think that this child has long planned to throw himself into the arms of the orthodox school, "The Genius Ripley" is just a stepping stone that was thrown out, and "American Drug Lord" is his real work.

However, how could they possibly know that in fact, in every work before Theorod, the basis of his performance came from the "academy" - after all, he was a pure-blooded academy in his previous life, and he was educated in a higher academy, and even how to perform was taught by these academics, of course, there will be this kind of shadow.

It was only later that when they thought Theorod had turned back, he slapped them hard without hesitation. Of course, that's an afterthought.

No matter how Theolod slaps those whimsical guys in the face in the future, it is undeniable that this literary film does have a lot of merit. For example, the three-and-a-half-long monologue at this moment has been included in the most classic academic performance examples by the performance series of most universities later.

After George was arrested and released from prison for the first time, he and his cellmates in prison started "business" again, and this time they did a lot of things, and George became a veritable American drug lord. During this time, he also met his wife, Mesa Jung. She is a charming and charming woman, and she is also a selfish woman who sees money and has an eye for money, and she even took drugs for fun regardless of her pregnancy.

George decided to change his ways for his daughter Christina Jung, and he didn't want his daughter to live an unhappy life after losing his mother's love since he was a child. However, the good times did not last long, her wife could not quit drugs, and the police raided his home on his birthday, and he became a fugitive again and went bankrupt.

Mesa couldn't stand this life, and they quarreled, in front of Christina, just like his childhood scene.

George is in jail again because Mesa was on drugs while he was driving and was stopped by the police. Three years later, Mesa divorced George from prison and took Christina with her. After being released from prison again, George tried his best to save his relationship with his daughter, and even started selling drugs again to make money in order to take her to Los Angeles.

This time, he was betrayed by his accomplices, but what was more painful than betrayal was that he broke his promise, he once again disappointed his daughter, and his mother did not even agree to his request to visit his seriously ill father in prison, and he could only say his final goodbye to his father in prison, through tapes.

"Hello Dad, how are you doing? I know it's awkward to greet me, but, you know, I've never been a good and thoughtful son, and I've never given you as much as you've given me. George looked at the tape recorder with a gentle expression and even a little attachment, as if he were looking at his elderly father.

"I don't know if you're still using a baseball bat to chase away the kids messing around on your lawn like you used to, yelling 'you bastards.'" I don't know if you're still going to sit in front of the window and read the newspaper with your reading glasses on a rainy day, and then be scolded by your mother for not turning on the lights. I don't know if you're still driving that repaired truck and honking at those unscrupulous drivers, as if they were not rubbing your car, but your whole world. ”

"Do you remember? When I was young, it wasn't up to your waist, but I was always thinking about the pickup truck that climbed up. I always thought that you took your buddies and rode in that huge car for me to go to mysterious places, to save the world. In fact, you're a hero, right, because without you, many people would freeze to death. With that, George picked up the cigarette between his fingers, took a deep breath silently, and slowly exhaled the circles under his eyes.

The clouds and mist made George's flickering eyes even more foggy, and he seemed to be caught in some kind of memory.

"But I'm not, I've never been able to understand how it takes to be as great as you, you built up this family with one person, and my mother would be like a movie star in our tapes, and it was a red dress, remember? You said she was beautiful in that one. You're busy saving the world, there's always time to throw a baseball with me, and you'll tell me how to hold on to it so it doesn't slip away. You see, I haven't been able to catch it since then, so now ......"

"Now, I'm forty-two years old, Dad, can you imagine? I've lived half my life, and in the first half of my life, I always thought that money was God, and you want to tell me that it's not like that, but I don't understand, I don't understand. Can you tell me? I've lived my faith to this day, and why do I remember now not how I counted the five million dollars that filled my house over and over again, but how I played on my scooter on the streets of my childhood, and then my mother called me back to dinner, just in time to meet you coming home from work?"

"It seems that I can't grasp it, I don't have this talent, I can't see it, what do you say?"

"But you always believed me, remember the day I went home to seek refuge and my mother betrayed me to the police, who came to my room and put my shoes on, and you stood in the doorway and looked at him and said, 'You're only worthy of shoes for George, you damn bastard......"

"Dad, maybe I'm really 'deserving something,' like now. It took me half my life to understand what you've been teaching me since I was a kid, and if I had my understanding before, you'd have beaten me in the ass, and then I'd be running around the house...... That's most of my life......"

"I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't do it as good as you, I never did, I never got as great as you, you've always been the best. If I say I regret it, is it too late? I regret not being by your side, I regret that I let you down, I regret that every time we get together is a parting ......."

“…… In any case, I wish you a proud spring breeze and a bright future, and I also wish you a bright and starry fate......"

"I love you, Dad. Your eternal son, George. ”

In this scene, except for a few fixed lines, such as the last one of George's father's blessings to him, all the rest was Siorrod's own imagination based on the suggestive passage in the script, which resembled an outline. And Ted also clearly told Theolod when filming this section that most of the shots in this scene are on his father, and he appears more as a narrator, so the requirements for line skills and tone and emotion are very strict.

But that doesn't stump monsters like Theorod. In order to perform the feeling of a middle-aged man in his forties, he specially lowered his voice, and through certain skills, his voice was dyed with a bit of hoarse vicissitudes, coupled with makeup technology, at first glance, he was indeed twice as old as he was in his twenties.

In the script, the lawyer gave George five minutes to record the recording, and Theolod actually spoke for five minutes before stopping. When he slowly talked about the memories of himself and his father in this hoarse throat, many onlookers couldn't help but think of their father and their childhood.

His unimpassioned voice seems to carry a kind of magic that controls emotions, and there may be nostalgia, remorse, self-deprecation, attachment, and emotion...... Until the end, all these emotions converged into a deep sigh, and the smoke of the cigarette slowly faded into a scene of memory.

Ted sat behind the camera, and after Theorod's infectious five-minute one-man show, he didn't immediately shout "cut", the sadness and vicissitudes of Theorod were so thick that they seemed to be indissolvable, and the aura that came to his face was more profound than what he saw on the screen.

He had long known that Theorod was a genius born for acting, and he had already deeply realized this in the past two months of filming, but it was only now that he realized that his previous understanding of Theorod's strength was still too superficial. His performance is relaxed, powerful, deep, calm and unhurried, domineering and attractive, and he has raised the whole movie to a higher level in this performance.

So he didn't shout "cut", he couldn't bear to spoil the atmosphere of this very artistic performance, he sat quietly in place, letting Theolod silently finish the cigarette, and himself, and even the vast majority of people around him, were already in his performance, tears wet their eyes. 166 Reading Network
