296 Piercing Threat
The midnight highway in Los Angeles is not lively, but it is not deserted, and from time to time there will be some cars speeding away, and the roaring engine sound makes the quiet after the noise more and more deep, and the crew of the "Kill with a Knife" crew stands in groups in all corners of the road, and the trailer in the center is like a vacuum area, and almost no one stands there.
Lance stepped on the cold moonlight, step by step, and walked steadily towards the direction of the trailer, almost the entire crew's eyes were projected on Lance, following his pace and moving slowly, the strange silence seemed a little abnormal, when there were still fifteen steps away from the trailer, Terrance's figure came around from the back of the trailer and strode over.
Lance thought for a moment, stopped, and stood where he was, waiting for Terrance.
He had already vented his inner feelings so heartily that it could almost be said that he had not left Tom any face, and now it was his turn to bear Tom's wrath - and it was always the agent who played the role of blackface. It's a fair deal.
Terrance walked straight to a position a step in front of Reims and stopped, at this time Terrance had regained his composure, and his straight suit was once again neat, and he didn't see the appearance of a wolf just now, he tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a sinking face, "Dear Mr. Strello!" The mocking tone barely concealed anything, "You'd better be good enough to make Steven Spielberg willing to kneel down and sing your praises, or you'll be dead after the Oscars next year." โ
Terrance paused suddenly, raised his right hand, and gently swung his index finger in the air, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth also gently rose with the movement of his index finger. "No, there's no need to wait for the Oscars, when the movie comes out. You're ready for the verdict. โ
The ice-piercing threat passed through the surface of Lance's skin without hindrance, invading his bloodstream bit by bit. You could almost feel the sharp blade around his neck, as if it only took a slight twitch of Terrance to kill Lance's life, like pinching an ant to death.
However, Lance not only did not feel afraid, but calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Because, Lance knows. Terrance's threat, while severe, also means one thing: Tom didn't leave, not only did he not leave, but he compromised.
Although before the filming of the movie started, Tom had nodded twice and agreed to fully cooperate with the crew's scheduling - the first time was Lance, the second time was Cole; But it wasn't until today that Tom really put down his pride and self-esteem - not voluntarily, of course, and was swept to the ground by Lance's unreasonable sweeping, which also meant that Tom was able to put down his body and fully cooperate.
There's still no way to know how things will play out, after all, he wants to get Tom out of his idol baggage. Stepping out of the comfort zone, it's definitely not an easy task. But at least, Lance won the initiative.
This wild dance on the tip of the knife, walking on the high ropes, sprinting in the flames of thorns. Reims has crossed one of the most important thresholds! His all-or-nothing gamble paid off.
Therefore, Lance did not intend to confront Terrance head-on at this time, he lowered his eyelids slightly, blocking the light in his eyes, but his gaze was calmly and directly towards Terrance - he did not resist, it did not mean that he would show weakness. Lance just stood there, his arms outstretched to meet Terrance's storm.
"I can ruin you, it's easy." Terrance said softly. But before the words could be spoken, the sharpness in the depths of his eyes hit Lance like a torrential rain. "Moreover, I will not let you devastate miรจ. But it disappeared little by little, like a mermaid that turned into foam, a little bubble, a little ...... And then a little more...... Drifting through the air, slow and long, as if it would never end. โ
Lance believes that innovative artist agency has the power to do so if he joins forces with Tom Cruise. As for whether Terrance has such ability...... Lance is a kind guy who doesn't pop those wonderful bubbles of fantasy.
Without a response from Lance, Terrance looked a little bored, put away his expression, and pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "But now, we need you to work, put your heart and soul into your work, 100% without reservation." So, you shouldn't delay the crew any longer, there are not a few hours left until today's end time. โ
Terrance raised his right hand, pointed to the watch on his wrist, and took another step. In just one step, Terrance not only did not change direction, but also did not retract, slammed his shoulder into Lance's shoulder, like a rugby player, knocked all obstacles away, Lance was knocked back several steps in a row, and then watched Terrance stride towards the direction where the RV was.
The right shoulder began to ache again, and it seemed that even the bones began to wail after being hit twice in a row in a short period of time tonight.
Lance didn't raise his hand to rub his right shoulder, but just withdrew his gaze from Terrance, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the trailer.
Walking up to the trailer, you can see Tom standing not far behind the monitor, who is looking down and flipping through the script; and Percy, Albert, and Hayden standing in the right-hand corner. Seeing Lance appear, Percy and the others all cast their eyes, their eyes were full of worry, although the filming process of the previous two movies also experienced many bumps and downs, but this time it was obviously different. Lance cast a reassuring glance at the three of them, signaling that they could leave first.
Percy and Albert were still a little hesitant, but in the end, Hayden took the first step, and the three of them left the trailer one after another, leaving only Lance and Tom on the platform.
Lance stepped behind the monitor and restarted the replay of the scene, the sound of lines and dialogues weaving through the cold air. Even though it's still the height of summer, you can still feel the cold on your skin late at night, and the suffocating silence makes large areas of goosebumps appear on the surface of the skin on your back.
"You're a jerk, you know." Tom's voice blew in the wind.
"I know." Lance didn't look back, just shrugged his shoulders unmindably.
Then there was silence, and Tom spoke again, "You can tell me what I should do, but not in that way." โ
Lance turned his head and looked at Tom's location, and then the eyes of the two people came into contact, and Lance showed a light smile and raised the tail of his eyebrows, "But this way it works, doesn't it?" โ
"I don't like it." A wry smile appeared on Tom's lips, then he shook his head, "I hate, to be exact. โ
"But it works." Lance's words remained unfazed.
Tom couldn't help but be stunned, his smile stiffened, and finally turned helpless, "You are indeed a bastard. โ
Lance pursed his lips, noncommittal, and turned his head back to look at the monitor. Tom took a deep breath and walked behind the monitor with the script, "So, sue me, was my performance really that bad?" โ
Lance nodded mercilessly, which made Tom's breath suffocated, but Lance didn't look back at all, as if he didn't see Tom's mood change, but pointed to the screen of the monitor, "Look, you have such a habit of acting......" Lance gestured to Tom's mouth movements, "This way is okay, if you chew a toothpick, or tobacco or something, you can show the charm of a male character, but more often, when you show such detailed actions, you show a kind of handsomeness, Especially your eyes will start to fluctuate, and before you know it, you are discharging. โ
Tom didn't notice it at first, but after being told by Lance and watching it twice repeatedly, his face couldn't help but stiffen, "Also, every time you are in the inner turmoil and restlessness of the character, you are always used to constantly turning your head, moving your gaze, and even adjusting your sitting posture and body movements if necessary......"
"Isn't that okay?" Tom frowned.
"Okay, but it depends on the role." Lance said quickly, "If it's a fledgling college student, if it's a hot-tempered drunkard, if it's an uneducated prostitute......" Then Lance pointed to the figure sitting in the driver's seat on the monitor screen, "If it's a taxi driver......" Tom followed Lance's gaze and suddenly noticed something unusual - he and Lance's performances were on the same rhythm, which seemed really weird, even a layman who didn't have any knowledge of acting would know, Something is wrong with this scene, and as for what is wrong, this is expertise.
But if it was Vincent, not only would he not show his inner restlessness, on the contrary, he would need to cover it up, because he was a killer and he could not be seen by others to be flustered. Therefore, his panic will be more conveyed through details such as guรฒ eyebrows and eyes, and you can use the advantages of lighting to express this inner surge; Or, you can bite the innermost gums, and use guรฒ in this way to tighten the jaw line and show the tightness of love......" Lance's words made Tom's eyes light up, in fact, these performances are fundamental, Tom can't be unaware, but he has never found the right rhythm, and there is a way that suits him.
Lance turned his head and looked deeply at Tom, "You know, that means you have to break out of the pattern you're used to and get into a different state. Only in this way can your acting skills be reborn. โ
Tom didn't avoid Lance's eyes this time, and nodded slightly, "And then hit Oscar." Actually, Lance had mentioned this when they first met, but it wasn't until now that Tom really understood what it meant.
Lance tucked his jaw away, and a bright glint flashed in his eyes, "That's our goal." "Before we get back into filming, I hope you can take a closer look at the whole shoot, feel the rhythm of the performance, and find what works for you." โ
"Observation?" Tom didn't seem to understand the sentence too much.
The corners of Lance's mouth hooked slightly, "I'll demonstrate." (To be continued.) )
