When Feng Ranran arrived at the crew the next day, she was not the first one. She has very few shots of this filming location, so most of the time she just needs to sit next to her and watch the middle-aged man in front of her perform.

But that's not bad either.

The words in the script have become reality little by little in the lens with him.

Tom is a very sophisticated actor, his performance is spicy and sharp, and no matter what kind of character your script gives, he can portray you well.

The camera goes by—the railcars are still finding their place, the lights are glowing faintly—it's early in the morning, the street lights haven't been extinguished, the sky hasn't dawned yet, and everything is still shrouded in a layer of fog. He pushed the door open and walked in wearily.

The guests who walked in saw him joking with him familiarly, only to find that this guy was no longer in the same indifferent state as before. His eyes were open, and there was a little dazed expression in his expression. The close-up landed on his pupils.

This close-up doesn't take more than 0.5 seconds in the movie, but the reality is that this close-up is now filmed for three full hours. Stephen is a demanding director, staring at the man in the camera, constantly saying things that seem too cruel to every movie actor in a low and elegant tone.

"Let's do it again."

His voice was unsettling, but it almost collapsed.

Tom, who had played with him, shrugged his shoulders as he adjusted his performance.

This stage is the most difficult, Feng Ranran sat next to him and watched it with a lot of kinship, although he has experienced many times this kind of director who wants to capture the inspiration of that moment through repeated performances, but for any actor, this is definitely not a good experience. She sighed, then watched the man in front of her continue to act seriously.

He didn't disdedicate himself because of his big name, on the contrary, he was very, very dedicated.

……

In the afternoon, when Feng Ranran was still memorizing the lines, the little assistant handed her her mobile phone, Feng Ranran took it and connected it, the voice on the other end of the phone sounded very brisk, and it felt very familiar. Feng Ranran heard him say:

"Is the new drama good? I heard that you played with Tom Cooks this time? This guy isn't something to mess with. ”

Feng Ranran heard that he looked like he had suffered a lot, the corners of her lips hooked imperceptibly, and then she asked:

"Isn't it something to mess with? Sounds like you've messed with him. ”

When Ai Wen on the other end of the phone heard this, he retorted almost without hesitation: "Hey, I haven't filmed with him, I think it will definitely kill me." There was a boxing movie that wanted me to go with him - how could I be his opponent? I felt like I was going to be beaten by him...... I'm not going to do this kind of self-inflicted thing! ”

Regarding the grievances and hatred between Evan and Tom, Feng Ranran was a mystery that was solved later from the director. Tom has a fourteen-year-old daughter who is very cute, Tom is a peerless daughter slave that everyone knows in the film industry, but it's true, his youngest daughter is an avid Evan fan, I heard that the family is often plastered with all kinds of Evan posters, obviously Tom has a better coffee position in the film industry, he has been famous for a long time, but in the eyes of his beloved daughter, he is not as good as a handsome little white face!

I heard that Tom had a big fight with his daughter at home because he tore off his daughter's poster, and he was so angry that he jumped on his feet and said that sooner or later he would give Tom a good look - the above report is from the famous entertainment magazine "Durian Daily" in the United States, and it is not guaranteed that it is true or false, but it is certain that Tom and Evan do not deal with each other-

Because this good gentleman, who is known for his good temper, never gave him a good look when he met Evan in public. And in last year's National Youth Best Actor Choice Awards, when he handed the trophy to Ai Wen as an award presenter, he heard that his whole face was pale, and he didn't feel like he was here to present the award at all, and he could pull out a brick from behind him at any time and slap it on Aiwen's head unceremoniously......

It can only be said that the idol of the daughter of the predecessor in the circle, especially the idol of the daughter of a well-known daughter slave in the circle, is really difficult!

In this case, it's not surprising that Evan mentions Tom as he changes color.

Ai Wen obviously just called to tease Feng Ranran, and he whispered:

"I'll give you a piece of advice, Tom...... It's a capital daughter slave. If you think he's too low when you're filming with him, talk to him about his daughter, and I think he'll be happy. It's because I'm best friends with you that I'm telling you this precious news for free, you know? ”

Feng Ranran pursed her lips.

"And I have to thank you for that?"

"Okay, invite me to dinner...... I won't tell you more, I've got to start filming here. ”

Ai Wen hung up the phone neatly, and Feng Ranran put down the phone and let out a sigh.

Everyone on the set was very busy, and the director seemed to see that Feng Ranran's phone call was over, he walked over and said to her.

"The set over there is ready in advance, and I want you to fly to finish some of the scenes first."

There are very, very many sets of this movie, and coordinating time is a science, and Stephen is clearly proficient in this. Feng Ranran nodded, and then she asked:

"Where's Tom?"

"He'll fly over soon, he's taken a leave of absence in the afternoon, and he'll be back in two days."

……

This movie is the most frequent transition movie Feng Ranran has ever experienced - frequent transitions can make people collapse. Her script is the most in the whole crew, even the script of the male protagonist is probably not as thick as hers, the lines are complicated, the transitions are frequent, the day and night are reversed, and the endless NG has become the norm in this movie.

It's not this that suffers.

For Feng Ranran, pain is something else.

-- Let's turn the clock back a little bit, and then go back to the first qiē after Feng Ranran went to the second set.

The girl in the script dies once in this scene.

To die once means that she will die many more times later.

This was the first life of the girl Tom had ever met.

……

Feng Ranran's role is a dusty woman, and she looks very similar in her gestures - this girl plays decadence, she plays despair, she plays a hollow and tired face, and under her face with heavy foundation is a pale and numb soul. The girl who couldn't tell her age was rolling with one person after another, and her posture of lighting a cigarette was beautiful.

The wrist is tattooed, and the purple lips on the face look faintly a little trembling and overwhelming. She looked up and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes—she was squatting in the hallway, smoking and drinking, she was lying on the floor and convulsing—this was a girl who had grown up in the dark.

This dream balances the subtlety of the East with the prodigal swing of the West.

This dream is like a beast in the heart of the human heart*.

He dreamed of the smile on her lips again and again, only to wake up to find himself covered in cold sweat.

The scene of Tom waking up from the bed is the most filmed so far, and there may have been a hundred reshoots, and even Feng Ranran felt a little distressed that Tom felt that he might be about to collapse, but this actor showed an amazing perseverance.

He didn't complain, he acted in the film over and over again, and he took the trouble to interpret the kind of feeling that the director wanted him to interpret.

Feng Ranran quite admires such a senior - I feel that he can stand firm in the status of A coffee in the entertainment industry, and it really makes sense. But then she didn't have time to sympathize with Tom, and she found that everyone in the crew needed sympathy.

It's not easy to tell this story well, because the movie has a limited duration, and no useless shots are allowed. The script is written in all aspects, and everything has to be acted, but when the time comes, most of the boring plots will be edited out by the editor without hesitation.

Editing is a very important part of a film. And this also means that in fact, most of the performances now are doing useless work. What can be left is the essence, the part that must be left. Each shot must contain a lot of information. Every performance has to be exquisite.

For ordinary movies - having one or two major scenes is enough to support an entire movie, after all, the result of the expansion of the film market is that any movie can be released - a movie with one or two memorable scenes is already a well-deserved good movie.

But Feng Ranran knows that Stephen's definition of this movie is that if you choose one minute at will, the performance is still wonderful, and it can still be regarded as an amazing work.

Everyone else thinks he's crazy, it's impossible to do.

In the limited amount of time, there must be so-called transition sequences, and in order to make the whole story clear - the actors' performances can't always be exciting, and Stephen's idea is simply fantastical.

But that's what he did.

He didn't hesitate at all.

Feng Ranran actually doesn't know how much of the scenes she is working so hard to shoot can be left behind by then, she can only do her best to express herself. Stephen's one-minute idea he sued Feng Ranran - when the audition was successful, he sued Feng Ranran in the café. To be honest, the light in his eyes was almost fanatical at the beginning, and Feng Ranran heard his voice with an indescribable seriousness.

"Why don't you give it a try."

"The kind of film I want to make is the kind that can be used as a work of art."

There is nothing wrong with a good concept, but for an actor, it is really not too lucky to meet such a director who is so paranoid that he almost looks like a madman. As soon as the filming entered the first stage, everyone felt the director's frenzy, the scenes that were forcibly reshot more than 100 times, and a large number of cumbersome connected shots just for the flash of the final editing, which may not even be presented for a second......

Yes, the director is a madman, there's really nothing wrong with that......

Feng Ranran even sympathized with the investors a little, and was fooled by the director to make this movie, and there were too many films wasted - this is an extremely large expense!
