And what Li Xiaole has to do now is very simple, that is, let Henry and Scarlett bring Matthew into the movie "Life Remote Control", and he is fortunate to create all the atmosphere next to him, all for this day.
"Hey, Henry, you're acting like you, your white eyebrows are really interesting." It was Matthew's turn to go up and say goodbye to Henry, and he still couldn't seem to change his hippie smiley style and go up to joke with Henry.
"Matthew ......" Henry, who was lying on the white prop bed, raised his hand with difficulty, stroked his face, and looked at his child tenderly, just like that......
"......" The smile on Matthew's face suddenly stiffened, as he felt the wrinkled palm cold, and then looked closely at Henry's withered and old face, as if life was being lost bit by bit...... I don't know how I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in my heart.
"I'm leaving, Matthew." Henry looked at him weakly and tenderly, and said:
"You are a good boy, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of children, death is a part of life, I just want you to know that I love you whenever and wherever I am, and I know that there are many things I don't do well as a father...... I've hurt you before...... But trust me...... I have done my best child, no matter what you do or what you become, I have always loved you, son......"
Speaking of the back, Henry was already weak and couldn't breathe, but he still looked at Matthew lovingly, and this scene moved everyone, and everyone watched Matthew get weaker and weaker, until he closed his eyes......
Matthew felt that Henry's pale and dry hand in his hand suddenly lost his liliang and slowly fell on the sheets, and he froze in place, he wanted to make a joke or something, but he couldn't say a word, and when Matthew looked at him gently, that look reminded him of his father, who loved to drink...... The father who left him since he was 5 years old because of divorce, the father who he came to Canada but hated him every day......
That harsh, mean, selfish ghost who is self-righteous...... But sometimes inadvertently show care and love for himself of the old man...... His figure slowly overlapped under Henry's same gaze.
Matthew suddenly discovers that his father, whom he thought he hated the most, is about to leave him...... Everyone stayed on the spot, and there was an inexplicable grief surging in his chest...... Can't suppress it.
Li Xiaole did not give him a chance to think, but asked the full-time cemetery staff to carry Henry into the coffin, and they carried it all the way to the direction of the grave, while all the others slowly followed them like a real funeral.
The funeral hymn sounded softly, the breeze rustled the branches and leaves of the water pine trees by the roadside, and everyone was silent, except for the rustling of the wind...... The faces of the people walking behind were full of sadness and sorrow, everything was so quiet and solemn, and the sadness made people feel as if they had been evacuated......
Matthew, Jeff, Jolie all those young actors...... Knowing that all this was fake, everything was rehearsed by them, but when they saw Henry, who had just hugged them, lying in the coffin, about to be buried, everyone felt that their hearts were trembling, and they could clearly feel that the scene was filled with a boundless sadness and helplessness devouring every cell of their body......
"Henry......" I don't know who sobbed softly first, and then more women began to cry, and Matthew, who had not yet reacted, suddenly felt that death was so close at hand...... Memories of spending time with Henry began to appear in his mind, and gradually, memories began to appear with his childhood with his father, playing baseball together, going to school together, and the moment when his father carried him to the hospital when he had a fever late at night......
Time seemed to stand still in one pause, and those good memories with his father that he never remembered came to his mind one by one...... He finally remembered the bits and pieces that he had overlooked......
That selfish ghost full of shortcomings, although he always put on a mean and stern appearance, has always stood behind him silently loving him, protecting him, and caring for him.
And all his life he disliked the rudeness and ignorance of this old man, desperately trying to prove that he was stronger and smarter than him in front of this incomparably powerful person in his childhood memories, and wanted to surpass him...... And I always took all this for granted, forgetting that this person is actually an ordinary person...... He also has joys and sorrows, he is just an ordinary person......
As a father, this man has given everything he has and poured everything into his children, and he also hopes to be cared for and cared for by his children...... But until he left himself, he still hated him......
Looking at the coffin that was gradually moving away, Matthew suddenly felt that his shijie suddenly collapsed, and the liliang that had been supporting him in his heart was torn into pieces, as if he had lost the most precious thing on shijie just now, Nan Nan muttered to himself in pain: "NO...... NO…… This is not true...... Dad ...... "Tears gradually blurred his eyes.
Scarlett gently took his hand with tears in her eyes, and Matthew instinctively walked forward gradually, until she walked to the edge of the grave and watched the coffin gradually being filled with earth, and unconsciously knelt on the ground, breathing as if it was throbbing, lying on the ground, tears slowly falling, unable to say a word...... That grief-stricken look moved everyone.
Li Xiaole watched this scene from afar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not stop filming, but let Matthew continue, let him completely vent those feelings buried deep in his heart, and completely see the shadow in his heart, at this moment, not only Matthew, but also the little actors of Mike's family were also infected, and couldn't help but shed tears, and on the contrary, Scarlett, who was crying the saddest just now, wiped her tears and walked slowly behind Li Xiaole.
"I really didn't expect it to be really useful, he seems to have suddenly opened his mind." Scarlett took a deep breath and calmed down some of her out-of-control emotions, as a person who had come over, she knew that Matthew had finally broken through the bottleneck of his acting skills and penetrated into what she didn't want to touch the most in her heart......
Maybe basic acting skills can be possessed as long as the actor has honed his skills with his heart, but if he wants to truly express the joys, sorrows and sorrows that move people's hearts, then it is not only what experience and jishu can achieve, but first of all, he must understand the real emotions in his heart, and only by mobilizing his most sincere emotions can he resonate with others.
"Well, it's Henry who drove it well." Li Xiaole smiled modestly, this off-screen play is mainly led by the profound skills of old actors like Henry, although in terms of box office, the male and female protagonists are usually the center of the movie, but from an artistic point of view, the height of a movie is largely determined by those old actors who do not have many scenes.
Many in the acting world agree that if it weren't for Ian McKellen playing Gandalf, Magneto would be too good, and the quality of the films in the "Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men" series would not have reached the current heights, and Henry is the Gandalf in his "Remote Control of Life".
"I don't think it's just him......" Scarlett's charming green eyes reflected the figures of those extras in black suits and black gauzes, and said with some admiration: "Where did you find these people, I felt a wonderful atmosphere of sadness and sorrow as soon as I was surrounded by them just now...... Is the quality of the people in the extras union so high? ”
Scarlett knew in her heart that Matthew was not just driven by Henry alone, but by the invisible and intangible collective consciousness of the scene, and the grief in everyone's emotions here was as heavy as low pressure in everyone's hearts, and everyone was affected by this invisible and untouchable emotion, and even those full-time cemetery personnel had many red-eyed eyes......
"They're not from the extras union." Li Xiaole touched his nose, looked at the 911 white cemetery tombstone, and said with a complicated expression: "They are all family members of the 911 victims...... I specifically found it. ”
"What......?" Scarlett showed a surprised expression, turned her head and looked at these extras carefully, only to find that the eyes of each of them were actually looking at the white cemetery behind the grave of "Henry", and finally realized that it was not these people who were better at acting than Matthew, and their sadness was because their relatives were buried in this cemetery......
"You're such a cunning guy, could you have done all this a long time ago?" Scarlett had a feeling of being deceived, and looked back at Li Xiaole with some anger, this guy even deceived her together, causing her to shed tears in vain.
"If the actor's job is to deceive the audience, then the director's job is to deceive the actor, and I'm really nothing compared to Spielberg's finding tens of thousands of Jewish descendants of the Holocaust in Schindler's List." Li Xiaole showed a natural expression, which made Scarlett look really helpless, this guy is really a set, and his mind is too thoughtful......
Scarlett thought about things from the beginning again, this Li Xiaole showed super control over the crew from the beginning, although he has been playing a negative role in the filming, and the actors hate him very much, but he has shaped Henry, an old actor, into the soul of the crew, and today can make Matthew's acting epiphany, which is by no means the credit of the scene in front of him, but Li Xiaole's careful arrangement for a long time during this time.
Scarlett even felt in her heart that Li Xiaole was more mature than the 40 or 50-year-old directors she had seen, but looking at his face that was so tender that she could pinch out the water, she suddenly felt a great sense of disparity, this person was really weird......
