Lance didn't speak, just lit a cigarette and took two puffs slowly. The brief silence became more and more oppressive in the thick smoke, through the smoke you can vaguely see Lance's slender fingertips holding cigarettes, gently rubbing the tail of his eyebrows, the sparse sunlight penetrates the hazy mist, sprinkles on the fingers like bamboo knots, faintly casts some shadows, delicately outlines the timeless eyebrows and eyes little by little, as if it is a black and white photo of the thirties, and in an instant let time go back.

The air slowly froze, and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating. Suddenly, Lance's deep voice traveled through time and space, breaking the confinement, "Leonardo, you can't memorize the lines?" The words that didn't have much emotional color, but they weighed as much as a thousand pounds, making the people around them lower their heads, and the muscles behind them couldn't help but tighten.

Javier and Martin couldn't help but exchange a look, and even the movement of swallowing saliva became cautious.

The young man who was called by his name subconsciously took half a step forward, but before the footsteps fell, he only felt Lance's gaze slowly fall on his skin, which made his movements stagnate, and then he stood in place awkwardly, not moving forward or backward; His hands couldn't help rubbing lightly on his thighs, but even so, his palms were still wet. The nervousness in his heart made his mouth dry, and he couldn't even say a word, so he could only look at Lance with his eyes open and at a loss.

"Then don't memorize the lines." Lance said in a deep voice, which made the young man suddenly feel at a loss, raised his head and looked around blankly, but he didn't know who to turn to for help, his eyes were full of tears, and the innocent and helpless expression was unbearable.

But even so, there was still no one around to speak, and everyone quietly lowered their heads, avoiding the young man's gaze for help. On the set, no one dared to challenge the authority of Reims, no one.

Seeing such a scene, Lance pursed his lips slightly and spit out a puff of cigarette, "I mean really, don't memorize the lines." ”

Lance wasn't reprimanding, much less joking, he was trying to steer these non-professional actors on the right track in a way that suited them.

Although Lance had been training the children for two months, it was too short for him to teach the basics and get the children used to the camera - not everyone has this ability, and many people look unnatural and even have the same hands and feet when they stand in front of the camera. So, after actually putting the shooting into the ground, Lance had to put a lot of effort into directing the details and even redirecting them.

In the previous filming scenes, there were many rivalry scenes between the actor who played Xiaodouzi and the actor who played Dumb, and the scenes were very tight, Dumb constantly bullied Xiaodouzi, but the physical and psychological differences brought about by the huge age gap of nearly ten years between the two made Xiaodouzi unable to resist at all. On the one hand, Dumb didn't care at all and bullied Xiaodouzi as a matter of course; On the one hand, Xiaodouzi is constantly accumulating anger and resentment, and the chemistry between the two is also an important factor in Xiaodouzi's growth.

However, the two actors are only meeting for the first time, and they can't express the kind of level suppression that has accumulated over time. Therefore, after observing Lance for three days, he simply let the dumb actors bully Xiaodouzi's actors both inside and outside the play, and at the same time did not tell Xiaodouzi the truth about the actors.

In just ten days of getting along, the atmosphere between the two children became more and more tense, and with the advancement of the filming, it reached its peak in a scene, Dumb slapped Xiaodouzi, and the director Zhan Xiaodouzi was crying and wiping his tears, while looking back at the past with resentful eyes.

This scene was only filmed twice - a few different angles, and it was filmed smoothly, and Xiaodouzi's performance was even more amazing.

Since then, Lance has not directly told Sù Xiaodouzi the truth about the actor, and has always let him continue this state of performance. After all his scenes were filmed, Lance told him the truth and asked the dumb actor to come over to apologize.

Lance knew that these children had no acting skills, and that they needed to be able to put themselves into a situation that they could realistically put themselves into. This is the best way to shoot the shot.

The kid in front of him is called Leandro-Firmino, and he lives in the City of God, but he doesn't join the gang of chicken thieves, just a very ordinary child. He has no interest in becoming an actor, and the reason why he came to audition is just that he is well paid, hoping to help his friend's company continue to survive. Unexpectedly, Lance took a fancy to him at a glance and chose him to play one of the most important roles in the script: the adult bean.

Xiaodouzi grew up more and more lawless, he was ruthless and hard-hearted, and gradually became a tyrant in the city of God, and later renamed Xiaobawang, annihilated all the surrounding ** forces, and took over, becoming the largest force in this city abandoned by God, and established his own ** kingdom.

The scene that is being filmed now is an important turning point for Xiaobawang on the road to hegemony, he gave up the small fights of street robbery, and on the way to accept the drug/product trafficking business, he eliminated several forces by thunderous means, and cleared out one of the most entrenched drug/product sales points on his territory.

Xiaobawang directly broke into this sales point and pocketed the territory with a sweeping attitude. In addition to the little overlord, several main characters such as Benny, Ah Cannon, and Black Box all appeared in this scene, which was not a difficult scene, but in Lance's conception, this scene was done in one go, so the requirements for details were very strict.

Lance hopes to be able to explain this drug/product sales point as a place where the story takes place, and tell the origin of this drug/product sales point, starting from the beginning of the first drug sale here, and continuing to talk about the takeover of the last self-employed black boy, as well as the appearance of Ah Cannon, and the robbery of Little Overlord and Benny. Condense the entire long history in this room, tell the history of the city of God in a theatrical way, and also show the impact on the city of God in the process of time passing.

And the scene that is being filmed now is the closing scene, and it is also the only scene that will slow down and show every detail. In addition, other scenes will be connected with montage. Therefore, the importance of this scene is self-evident.

During the filming just now, Leonardo couldn't remember his lines, to be precise, he was very awkward and blunt, which made the whole scene fragmented. Alexander Rodriguez, who plays Ah Cannon, was also affected, even if there was no problem with his lines, his eyes were very dull and he couldn't see any anger.

Lance thought about it carefully, Leonardo was not a professional actor in the first place, and reciting large lines was indeed not his forte, and the conflict in this scene did not need lines to be further rendered, but more to express the turmoil in the turmoil, and convey the sense of history and shaking that has changed in the past thirty years. So, perhaps, it would be wiser to let Leonardo ditch the lines.

Looking at Leonardo, who looked puzzled in front of him, Lance continued to speak, "You know what the little overlord is doing in this scene, right? Leonardo nodded, but Lance shook his head, "Say what you think." ”

Leonardo hesitated for a moment, subconsciously looked at Alexander, who was standing aside, and cast a look for help, but Alexander didn't say anything, just looked at Lance steadfastly. Leonardo then spoke intermittently, "Little Overlord...... He came to collect the land, and after taking over the land, he became the biggest drug/drug dealer in the area. ”

Lance nodded in affirmation, "So, how did you get the land over before?" ”

Reims's affirmation made Leonardo regain a little confidence, "Pistol? He said hesitantly, Lance did not affirm or deny, "He directly threatened with a pistol, shot if he was not convinced, and handed over the territory if he was willing to bow his head." This time Lance nodded slightly, and Leonardo became more confident, "Absolutely not soft, he is the real boss here!" ”

Lance's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued, "Remember, sometimes, you can't let go of surrendering with your hands, you need to stand up, you have to let them know that you are not joking, you can shoot at any time if you want." ”

Leonardo suddenly realized, "That's why I shot the black boy." ”

Unconsciously, Leonardo's pronouns changed from "he" to "I", and under the guidance of Lance, he has gradually entered the role.

"So, you're breaking in now, and Blackboy is selling big/hemp here, what are you going to do?" Lance struck while the iron was hot, and didn't let Hayden turn on the camera, and directly let Leonardo get into the groove.

Leonardo turned his head to look at the black boy who was standing aside, "Hand over the business here, you're finished now!" Leonardo completely lost the panic just now, and the whole person suddenly became angry, and as he spoke, he also took a step forward and walked forward.

Lance gave Phellipe-Haagensen a look — he was Benny's actor and Little Bean's best friend since he was a child. Philip was stunned, but Alexander still said with his mouth, "Stop him, stop him!" Philip reacted and quickly grabbed Leonardo, "Don't kill him, he understands!" Right, Black Boy? ”

Leonardo shook his head, laughed heavily, and pulled the trigger directly - but at the calf of the black boy, and after the gunshot rang out - prop pistol - his voice rang out, "Spare your life, but you have to work for us, understand?" ”

The unhesitating killing decision burst out in an instant. Although none of the lines were written in Reims's script, the effect far exceeded expectations!
