Bruce Willis closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, then reopened his eyes, poured the pill into his palm with trembling hands, and then stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it hard, his body trembling slightly from the excruciating pain.

Nick Starr, who was standing next to him, read aloud with the script, "The doctor said it would be like this, take the medicine he gave you." ”

Then Bruce clutched his chest in pain, staggered two steps forward, and fell straight to the ground. Raising his head sharply, Bruce gritted his teeth, his face covered in sweat and twisted viciously, his muscles curled up in excruciating pain. Nick's voice continued to explain, "No need to be quiet, no more. Bruce pulled his pistol from his waist and struggled to get back to his feet, "Breathe calmly, old man, and prove you're not completely useless." Whatever, go out and make a big fuss! ”

Bruce staggered forward, tragically, "To hear their screams, I've seen the twisted faces of those victims, still with the hideous expressions of the last moments of their lives. Then he cautiously walked forward until he passed where Lance and the others were sitting, and then stopped.

Because the performance just now was too hard, Bruce was a little out of breath, he stood there and took a few breaths, then looked back at Lance, "How's it going?" ”

In Bruce's career as an actor, he has never been an actor who is known for his acting skills, even in "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", his acclaimed performances are the same routine: a middle-aged frustrated down-and-out man, a depression in loneliness and loneliness, and an outbreak in the midst of bitterness and hatred, but even this image has hardly any breakthroughs, relying on the three-plate axe with tightly knit brows, tight lips, and strong eyes to walk the rivers and lakes, even in the "Die Hard" series that he is famous for.

So, when people think of blues, they always think of a tough guy who has been confined to action movies all his life, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough - including "Sin City" is also a similar type of work.

Lance invited Bruce to star in Sin City, and even Bruce himself thought it was another action movie, but that was only a small part of the reason. The image of Hardigan is also in line with Bruce's usual acting routine, which is an important reason.

But that's not all.

"No, you didn't understand what I said." Lance shook his head, and he stepped forward, "When you're in pain, a little more exaggerated body language, I mean, a little more pompous, you can be deliberate, a little more contrived, and turn on the movement as if the audience was sitting on the second floor of Broadway." But the expression needs to be deeper, showing the true feelings in your heart, even if you don't say a word, I need the audience to feel your feelings. ”

Lance had already demonstrated it once, but Bruce's talent for understanding acting was terrible, or rather, his performance had become a routine, almost the same image in different movies. Tom was confined to his comfort zone and couldn't get rid of it, but in fact, Tom had a talent for acting, but his idol baggage was too heavy and he had to make changes; But Bruce is different, he only has a three-plate axe, and his sense and understanding of acting are strictly lacking.

Bruce performed again according to Lance's request, but as soon as it started, Lance directly shook his head and denied, he stood helplessly in place, thought about it carefully, and all the actors around him fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense. Bruce was even more impatient, he had been rolling in Hollywood for twenty years, and he had never encountered such a situation again - because directors knew where the bottom line of his ability was, and no one would ask him for more, "Lance ......" Bruce said, and stopped talking.

Lance shook his head and stopped Bruce, "Well, I'll direct in slow motion once, only this once!" After entering the shooting, you will slowly experience it for yourself according to this pattern. ”

"But you've already demonstrated it, I know......" Bruce touched his bald head, looking very impatient.

Lately, people have been saying that Lance is a genius and that the performance in "Killing with a Knife" is simply amazing, but Bruce has never been impressed, believing that it is just people's pursuit of Lance. But just now, Lance only demonstrated once, and he was able to perform explosively and delicately in just thirty seconds, which was really amazing.

But Bruce became more and more impatient - there was no need for Lance to show off in front of him, he was not known for acting in the first place, and since Lance had hired him, he should know that he should not ask too much in terms of acting, he felt that Lance did it on purpose. As for why, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

Lance waved his hand, "It's not me coming, it's you." This made Bruce stunned, his brow furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with Lance's trouble three times and twice, but Lance didn't seem to see it, "One more time." Then he turned back to Nick and said, "Slow down. ”

At this time, almost all the actors of "Sin City" gathered around, not only the four actors of the first scene, but everyone looked at Lance curiously, a little confused, a little expectant, and a little worried.

"Lance." Someone shouted, everyone turned their heads in unison, Lance also looked back, and then he saw Jessica Alba and James Smith standing side by side, shouting James, his face was full of excitement, and he pointed at Jessica, as if to say, "We've arrived at the crew".

But Lance didn't have time to pay attention to them at this point—anyone, to be exact. Therefore, Lance directly withdrew his gaze and did not react. Jessica stood there, feeling a little cold in her fingertips, but she took a deep breath to regain her spirits and temporarily banish Lance's cold eyes from her mind.

Emma looked back and saw Jessica, so she raised her hand and beckoned for Jessica to come over. The two of them played Nancy's childhood and adulthood respectively, and the two exchanged their views together during the previous script practice.

Jessica smiled at Emma and walked over with a light step. The two didn't have time to say hello either, though, because Bruce's show had already started again.

"The doctor said that's what it is, take the medicine he gave you." Nick began to narrate, and Bruce opened the pill bottle with trembling hands, but before he could continue performing, Lance walked over, "It's a little bigger, even if you spill the pills." Bruce's movements paused, but still as Lance asked, shaking his hands vigorously, the pills jumped out of his palms, and then he poured the pills into his mouth, remembering Lance's hint, Bruce pushed his waist hard, and swallowed the pills hard.

"Very good, that's what it means!" Lance's voice rang out again, "You can dramatize the show a little here, though. Bruce opened his eyes, and then saw Lance standing beside him, "You pour the pill into the palm of your hand, and it feels like your heart is going to burst, and the whole chest is sent out, and it's better to arch your back at the beginning to make the whole movement more curved." After throwing the pill in your mouth, you can chew like a man, but because of the excessive pain, you only chew once and then stop......"

With Lance's words, Lance's face became tangled, Yingting's eyebrows were completely entangled, the surging pain was like a flood from between the blurred eyes, and even the sweat on his forehead could be faintly seen, his right hand only grabbed his chest, and he could even see his fingers trembling because of excessive pain, but then, he took a step forward, and the whole person was soft to the ground.

"Oh." The actors at the scene all gasped, and Eva even covered her mouth with her hands, and her first reaction was, "Did he have a heart attack?" Emma's eyes widened, and she stared at the scene in front of her in amazement, subconsciously telling her that this qiē was all a performance, but reason couldn't believe it.

Without waiting for everyone to react further, Lance stood up directly, and there was no problem with his agile movements at all, but he ignored the exclamation next to him, and said to Bruce, "Look, I will give you a close-up of your face, and then a close-up of your hands, when you close-up, your love needs to be accurate and in place, not too exaggerated, and you can even be slightly more restrained according to the narrator's tone, because the narrator will explain the love xù clearly; But then there's the close-up, when you shoot your whole body, you need to let go of your movements, and when you get to the panorama, the action is bigger and the drama is heavier. See what I mean? ”

Bruce's brain had completely stopped, and Lance's blue eyes were staring at him intently, but he couldn't react at all, and Lance had to snap his fingers, "Hey, old fellow, got it?" ”

Bruce couldn't help but nod his head, "Do you need me to do it all over again?" Lance nodded, and Bruce did it all over again, obviously with a larger range of movements, even a little exaggerated, and Bruce lay on the ground, turning his head a little uncertainly and asking, "Is this okay?" ”

"We need to adjust our facial expressions a little more, but ...... The overall direction is correct, and we will slowly adjust the specific details during the shooting. Lance was already very experienced in this, and during the filming of "Killing with a Knife", almost every scene needed to be honed three or five times, and Bruce may not have Tom's talent, but at least he was not paralyzed. "Go on, go on, finish this play."

Bruce was still confused, as if he understood, but as if he was at a loss, he lay on the ground, trying to get up, but Lance's voice came again, "It's a little harder, yes, you can pound the ground and vent your anger, good!" Then he reached for the gun at his waist, and the movement of his hand was a little slower and harder, and after holding the pistol, he pulled it out violently. Bruce pulled out the pistol with a rainbow of momentum, but a series of "nos" came over, "The sense of ritual is a little heavier, just like the performance in the previous mime, you must let the audience see that you deliberately pulled out the pistol." ”

Bruce put the pistol back on his waist again, then pulled it hard, his left hand made a big arc in the air, and then raised his head high, freeze! Immediately after that, Lance's voice was heard, "Excellent! (To be continued.) )
