"Okay, it's not too early, you guys should rest early and prepare for tomorrow's shooting."

Li Xiaole also felt very disappointed, in fact, Matthew's performance in this movie was very good, even if it couldn't meet the standard, this movie was enough to become his masterpiece.

But Li Xiaole's requirements are far more than that, he not only asks Matthew to surpass himself, but also wants him to surpass the original Adam Sandler, in all fairness, in terms of funny humor, Adam Sandler is far more talented than Matthew, but Adam Sandler's shortcoming is that he can't perform the rhythm of sad inner drama, but Matthew has this potential...... But now Matthew's unenterprising attitude makes Li Xiaole unconsciously a little discouraged......

At night, Li Xiaole was lying on the bed thinking about Matthew's performance today, and at the same time, he was also worried about whether he expected too much from him, after all, it is very difficult to change the bad habits of an actor, and if the pressure applied is too great, it may backfire.

When he first chose Matthew, what he really valued was his past experience, Matthew was an only child, his parents divorced when he was 5 years old, he moved to Canada with his mother, and there was a period of depression in his childhood.

Later, due to his athletic talent, he became a well-known junior tennis player in Canada at the age of 15, but at this time he unexpectedly chose to return to the United States and join his father, and at this moment his father had remarried and had a daughter, and his attitude towards him was a little lukewarm, and then he was disheartened after his father failed to go to an important match, and was extremely depressed for a long time, and after careful consideration, he finally chose the same profession as his father - actor.

Although Matthew's appearance is very handsome, Li Xiaole can feel that he is very lonely in his heart, and he has always wanted to prove himself in front of his father, and all of Matthew's actions prove that he is very dependent on his father and longs to be loved by his father, which coincides with Mike in the film.

Li Xiaole believes that Matthew can show that Adam Sandler in the original version cannot show the emotional side, making "Life Remote Control" a good movie far beyond the original, but now he doubts whether he has made a mistake in judgment, Matthew is really hopeless, thinking of this, Li Xiaole couldn't sleep all night, and was extremely depressed, so he simply put on his clothes and went outside to breathe.

Looking at the time, it was already 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, walking in the moonlight, Li Xiaole felt a burst of refreshment, and even his stuffy chest was a lot more relaxed, and he was swaying around the pomp, but at this time, there was a "damn ......" scolding not far away.

Who, don't sleep so late, Li Xiaole walked over curiously, because he wanted to cultivate the tacit understanding of the Mike family, recently, Li Xiaole has let the actors live in the apartments used for filming, which actor is still outside.

Walking past the lawn, I saw Matthew sitting on the stairs, thinking about something with his head closed, his fists clenched tightly, his expression looking very painful, and from time to time he hit his head with his hands, as if he was losing his temper with himself.

Is he training himself to face the pain in his heart? Li Xiaole was surprised in his heart, Matthew, a guy who didn't seem to care about anything, would be so serious?

"Accident? In fact, he would be here every night figuring out the role. A soft voice sounded from behind, startling Li Xiaole.

Turning his head to see that Scarlett, who was holding a thick script, was standing behind him, Li Xiaole couldn't help but stare at him and whispered angrily: "Why don't you walk with Jing!?" found that Scarlett was holding the director's full-length storyboard in her hand, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"You want to see this?"

"This ......?" Scarlett, who was wearing pajamas, looked lazy and exuded a charming sexy temperament, raised her hand to look at the script in her hand, habitually biting her lower lip, and was rightfully authentic; "If I don't figure out the motivations of the other characters in a good story, how can I play my role well?"

"It's just a vase...... You're very careful. Li Xiaole nodded in admiration, it is not accidental that these young actors in the United States can have mature acting skills that surpass their youth, and it is not enough to stand out from the cruel competition of choosing one out of ten thousand.

Scarlett yawned lazily, walked to Li Xiaole's side, and looked at Matthew who was distressed in the distance: "It seems that your Jihua has failed?" As I said, some people who are not talented are useless no matter how hard they try, and even if you try, it will be in vain. ”

"You have the kung fu to taunt me, you might as well go back to sleep early." Li Xiaole pouted.

"Do I need it? I think if I had been ugly, I would have been nominated for an Oscar, and alas, it looks like I really would never be able to beat Meryl Streep......" Scarlett sighed as she touched her blonde hair, her troubles were very different from Matthew's.

"yes, I think your performance in Lost in Transition is worthy of Oss." Li Xiaole nodded in agreement.

"You're really interesting...... Scarlett was stunned suddenly, then shook her head with a complicated expression and muttered: "When I'm boasting and joking, as a director, you should hit me and make me humble, so that I can improve, right?" If it weren't for the fact that you rejected me, I would still think you were seducing me......" After speaking, he shook his head and waved his hand to Li Xiaole with a smile:

"Alas, it's really time to go to bed, good night~Gentle Director~"

Watching Scarlett wave her hand and leave with a burst of fragrant wind, Li Xiaole also shook his head and sighed, too, if this 21-year-old blonde beauty is really ugly, then she may be a recognized newcomer in the acting school in the circle, it is indeed a sadness to have such acting skills at such a young age but can only play the role of various beauties because of her good appearance......

Looking at Matthew who was sitting at the top of the stairs in the distance and bowing his head in contemplation, Li Xiaole's heart was not a lot more steady, with such a dedicated hero and heroine, what else did he have to worry about......?

The next day, after a five-hour flight, the crew came to New York, and this special temporary encore was finally about to begin.

The crew rented a cemetery built to commemorate 991 for filming, unlike those dense and dirty cemeteries in China, in a Christian country like the United States, death is regarded as a very sacred thing, white tombstones and crosses full of flowers are lined up, which does not make people feel any terrifying atmosphere at all, but has a sense of calm and serene holiness.

Miller, the insurance manager, couldn't figure out that a scene like Weishenme had to be filmed in New York on the East Coast, and if it was filmed in other cities on the West Coast, it would definitely cost less than $500,000.

Li Xiaole did not have any negligence because this was an additional scene, and arranged for the crew props team to prepare the most haode costumes and makeup for all the extras, each man wore Armani's black suit, and the women wore black gauze, everything looked extraordinarily solemn and solemn.

I don't know Weishenme, the crew felt that the mood of those extras was very sad and very sad, no one was chatting and talking on the scene, and all the preparations were unfolding like a real funeral.

In this scene, Henry's gray-haired makeup has been turned into a drooping old deathbed makeup, and Lenny Wisemore, the royal makeup artist of Black Pearl, uses her superb special effects makeup jishu to make Henry look old and fragile, as if he will fall down when the wind blows.

"Today you are the protagonist." Li Xiaole instructed in Henry's ear, and Henry hugged him with a smile and hugged him emotionally: "Xiexie you~ Li, I don't know weishenme, although today is when I die, but seeing all my family members by my side, I am really satisfied, usually my children are not by my side, I thought I was used to being alone......"

"In China, people live with their children when they get old, and I think home should be like this, the elderly are with everyone, not separated from each other." Li Xiaole gently patted Henry's back, he knew that Henry was now moved by real feelings.

There is a big difference between Americans and Chinese on the issue of the elderly, Americans advocate a free life, parents will not live with their children when they are old, and children do not have the habit of supporting their parents, which is very comfortable in the eyes of young people, but the feeling for the elderly is completely different, the loneliness and loss after old age and decay will make people extremely painful when unaccompanied.

A Chinese-style family was established in the crew, which made Henry feel the love of his long-lost family, and during this time he spent time with young actors, he felt the warmth of being a father and grandfather again.

Seeing the two hugging each other, everyone couldn't figure it out...... There is no scene in Weishenme's script, which will make Li Xiaole and Henry so attentive, and what is even more unexpected is that before filming, Li Xiaole gathered all the actors together, and let Henry, who was in old age, hug each of them in turn and say goodbye one by one.

"Selene, remember not to wear such a short skirt, it will leave rheumatic ...... on your legs later," Henry scratched Selene's nose lightly.

"Don't be like that, Henry...... I'm really sad right now. Selene looked at Henry, who was so old that she couldn't straighten her back, her eyes were red, she knew it was fake, but this strange atmosphere made her feel very uncomfortable.

Scarlett watched from the side, and sighed in her heart, in fact, this is where director Li Xiaole is clever, he created a sense of ritual, those tombstones, flowers, people in black suits, and Henry's old makeup, and the weak voice of his performance, so all of these visual and auditory will make you feel that he, the grandfather, is about to leave them.

And Henry's superb acting skills also make all this more real, people like Selene who are emotionally fragile can easily fall into this fictional environment, people's emotions will spread, as long as one person begins to "believe", then all people will begin to believe.

In this case, the performance is called "with drama", many young actors can't enter the emotional scene, and those senior actors are the first to put in, and they can pull the people who play with him in, for example, although there are many roles in the classic "Forrest Gump", the quality of the actors is also uneven, but Tom Hanks uses his great performance to make all the actors who play with him play at an extraordinary level, whether it is a passerby with a few lines or those important roles in the scene, they are like real characters, and there is no "acting" at all traces of ......
