Chapter 12: Pressing the Play

The filming process of a film is not necessarily done in the order of the script, occasionally in order to save time and effort, the plots of the same scene will be arranged to shoot together, and then the post-editing will decide the order of each scene of the film and which scenes should be left and which scenes should be cut.

Director Gregory Hoberlitt decided to finish filming the interior scenes before moving the crew to the outdoor scenes. In order to take care of the supporting actress Dr. Molly Arlington, Frances McDondon's schedule problem, the director advanced all her scenes, so the first thing to shoot was the rivalry between Molly and Allen and Martin as a psychiatrist.

So, Theolod came to the set on the first day of filming and got to know the other main actors of the show.

The actor Richard Gere, who plays against him the most, because of the success of "Pretty Woman", he is now the most ideal husband candidate and sexy idol in the minds of thousands of girls in the nineties, even if the film selection failure after this cannot reduce his status in the hearts of fans, besides, he is indeed a very powerful actor.

Frances McDonnell, who plays the female doctor, is also a powerful actor, since the Coen brothers' debut film "Blood Labyrinth" in 1984, she has always been known for her acting skills, and she is also the girlfriend of the Coen brothers' brother Joel Cohen. The main reason why her schedule is full in recent times is that in addition to "First Degree Fear", she will also star in four films including the Coen brothers' new film "Ice Storm", all of which will be released next year.

Theorod, who had no knowledge of the Hollywood of this world, had to take the time to look at the works of several actors who were about to play opposite him while studying the script. To that end, Marshall also spent nearly fifty dollars to buy a bunch of snacks for Theorod, which, according to him, would not be able to watch if he did not eat a movie.

It wasn't until later that Marshall realized that he had been deceived, and from the moment the two of them first met Theorod and was able to kill his fries without noticing, he should have understood that these were nothing more than the seemingly innocent Theorod nonsense, of course, this is a later story.

"Looks like you're the genius who keeps Steve chattering?" Richard Gere, a senior, kindly extended his hand when Gregory introduced Theolod to the film's leading role.

Of course, Theolod also knew that if there was no introduction from Gregory, he would not take the initiative to run in front of him, and for the director's goodwill to hope that he could integrate into the crew as a newcomer, Theorod silently remembered it, and shook hands with the other party very naturally and calmly, and smiled without humility or arrogance: "Hello, Mr. Kiel, after successfully getting this role, I have been looking forward to acting with you." ”

He's telling the truth, Theolod has always liked the pleasure of competing with actors with excellent acting skills.

"You look so young? Gregory said you were only seventeen, and I couldn't believe it when I first heard that my client was only seventeen. Richard said with a smile, his eyebrows curled and he smiled slightly, looking very relatable.

"Don't look down on others because they're small, otherwise you'll suffer for a while. Gregory teased, patted Richard on the shoulder, and looked around again, "Where's our female doctor?"

"You're all here. As Gregory spoke, a woman's voice came from not far away, it was Frances, and it looked like she had already painted her makeup and styled.

"Frances, just in time, this is your Allen, Theolod Recht. Gregory shoved Theolod towards Frances.

Frances shook hands with Theolod, and she exuded a capable mature femininity all over her body: "Hello, legendary Lechte, I read the newspaper, don't take those critics' comments too seriously, they can only sell sales if they do this." ”

"I don't have much time to read the newspapers because I've been working on the scripts, and if my agent hadn't thrown them in front of me, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what they were saying. Theorod smiled nonchalantly.

And Frances seemed to take his constant study of the script as his nervousness and lack of confidence, so she patted his arm and comforted: "It's okay, don't be too stressed, your first acting is always much gentler than the difficulties that a woman encounters when she has a child for the first time." ”

Before Theolod could say anything, makeup artist Harriety Emmolly suddenly appeared next to him and Richard and grabbed them by the arm.

"I'm still looking for you two, so it's better for you to stand here and talk to the director, don't you know the first shot is going to start shooting in an hour?!"

Frances then remembered what she was doing here: "Oh sorry, Hallie, I forgot to remind them to go to the dressing room to find you......"

Li looked at the stylist, who was angry like a powder keg, and glanced at Theorod, which roughly meant "Don't mess with the stylist or you'll die a miserable death."

It was tossed for about an hour, during which Hallie dragged Gregory, who was busy preparing to turn on the machine, several times, and asked him to refer to what kind of look he was satisfied with, and finally the makeup on his face was wiped and painted, and the clothes on his body were changed one after another, and Allen's final makeup style was finally released.

Theolod looked at himself in the mirror, because his teenage face didn't need to be retouched too much at all, so he didn't have much makeup on his face, just deepened his dark circles, and the rosiness of his eye sockets, and his originally attractive pink lip color also matched the character of Alan, and the so-called Theorod saved Harley a lot of worry on the makeup.

It's just that his hairstyle is a little difficult to get around, and Hallie has changed his hairstyle countless times, but she still feels that she still feels almost something, until Gregory, who is constantly pulled, is a little impatient and casually says, "You just rub his hair up", Hallie is like a flash of inspiration, blowing Theolod's blonde hair into fluffy and messy broken hair, coupled with his delicate and pure face, it does make people have an urge to reach out and touch his hair.

Theolod has just quit and raised a figure that is just right for the character of Alan, and the body that has been lying indoors all year round to take drugs has also made it much fairer than ordinary Westerners, and now he only needs to change into a large prison uniform and sit there quietly, and Allen's feeling will come out.

The scene of the first scene between Ellen and the female doctor Molly is also very simple, just setting up a separate room scene.

An hour later, Theorod was sitting at one end of the long table in the room, with a DVD prop for the doctor's notes on the other, with Frances sitting in a chair on one side and Richard standing behind Theorod with his chest crossed. At the moment of Gregory's order, the film officially began.

At the moment when Gregory shouted "", Theolod, who was still smiling and chatting with Frances one second, became Allen, who was ignorant of the outside world, the next second. He sat in his chair a little helplessly, his pink lips slightly open, and he seemed a little nervous and uneasy.

Gregory, who had understood the magic of Theolod's eyes as early as the interview, specially asked the gaffer to shine the light on the place where he was sitting, so that the originally blue-green eyes turned into pure blue under the bright light, and at this moment, the pair of moist blue eyes that seemed to gather all the beauty in the world were wandering around at a loss, as if they were looking for something, or someone.

That person was his defense lawyer, Martin Will, and when Allen's eyes were fixed on the tall lawyer, the less obvious panic in those eyes disappeared completely, and confusion and confusion gradually spread into his eyes, and he looked at Martin a little blankly, as if waiting for his instructions.

Theolod gave Allen a vivid expression of his uncontrollable dependence on Martin, almost causing Gregory to applaud.

Richard and Frances were a little surprised to have such an incredibly perfect level of performance for the first time as a "newcomer", but they are both very dedicated actors, so they did not affect their performance because of their hearts. Martin quickly told Allen that he would be alone with Dr. Arlington to talk about some problems, and reassured him, and Allen looked at Arlington and nodded.

He ordered it twice, the first time was very light, the second time was heavy, and this small detail instantly made the character of Allen three-dimensional.

"Cut! perfect!" Gregory excitedly said, "The first shot is smoother than I expected! Martin, you can go and rest for a while, I hope the rest is all a one-time pass, doctor, Allen, okay?"

Theolod and Frances nodded, and the two quickly moved on to the next scene.

This part of the scene is Dr. Arlington's diagnosis of Allen, and she asks Allen some questions, and tells Dr. SΓΉ that he sometimes "loses time" - the comatose Allen will also reply with a light smile, and his simple smile without any impurities makes him look like a serene angel. Allen's stutter dragged on the question, and there seemed to be no problem until the doctor asked about Allen's girlfriend.

Under Theorod's layered performance, Allen's expression went from being shy and happy at the beginning, to hesitation and unnaturalness, to silence later, and finally to avoidance and anxiety, which attracted almost everyone's attention. The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but be brought into the play step by step by his progressive emotions, and in the absence of a soundtrack, they could still render a tense atmosphere, constantly tightening the hearts of onlookers.

It's a domineering attraction that no one can escape.

According to the script, at this point the DVD runs out of battery and makes a short, irritating ticking sound, and the doctor stands up to see how to turn it off, and asks Alan if he knows. In the doctor's questioning, Allen, who was slapping his head with a tight palm, suddenly slammed his fist on the table, raised his head gloomily, and under the shadow of the broken hair in front of his forehead, the color of his eyes became obscure, gloomy and irritable, making people's breathing stagnate, and the tense atmosphere directly reached a high/tide-

"How the do I know this. ”

A dirty word blurted out from Allen's mouth, with a strong killing intent and impatience, which directly made the doctor stunned in place.

"Cut!God!Allen, is it really your first time acting?!What luck did I have to pick up this treasure of you?!Later on, adding the sound effect of the DVD battery running out of power is enough!Doctor, you're good, too, especially the frightened and stunned look at the end!Martin!Where's our Martin?!!It's your turn!Oh my God, it's unbelievably smooth today!" Gregory cried, calling to Richard, who was standing on the sidelines.

Richard was also shocked by Theolod's murderous acting, and even though he was only watching from the sidelines, he could still feel the pressure on his face. He looked at Frances again, it seemed that her expression was a little complicated now, and he really didn't know if the stunned look just now was whether she was frightened by Theolod's violent acting and showed her true feelings or performance.

However, he soon learned the answer, as he also faced a transformation from Eren to Roy, from a gentle angelic lamb to a brutal man-eating beast, and the beast attacked him suddenly-

After Alan was forced out of Roy by Martin's questioning, in the face of Martin, who was half a head taller than him, Roy suddenly stepped forward, like a cheetah suddenly leaping out of the grass, quickly grabbed Martin's collar, and slammed him on the table, strangling this adult who was taller and stronger than him, and the explosive arm strength was not at all like what a weak teenager should have!

He looked down at Martin condescendingly, and his green eyes, as sharp as an eagle staring at his prey, were tyrannical and merciless, and there was a hint of mockery and contempt at the corners of his mouth.

There is no such scene in the script!

Richard was directly stunned, and even a trace of horror flashed uncontrollably on his face. At this moment, he had the same thought as Frances before him - he/she was ...... by the newcomer's explosive and domineering acting skills It's a show!
