Sean leaned lightly against the doorframe, watching intently at the shooting inside the room.

Two cameras, one of which was controlled by the crew's full-time videographer, Edward Ratchman, and the other by Steven Soderbergh.

Yes, control!

Generally, film directors sit behind a monitor and observe the actors' performances during the filming phase, although there are also directors who sometimes take the initiative to pick up the camera and shoot once or twice.

For example, in "Advance to L.A.", several of the key shots were done by Doug Liman with the cameraman.

But they are definitely not going to be as professional as Steven Soderbergh.

He's not a ticket-playing cameraman, he's not a cameo cameraman, and he's not a videographer who doesn't believe in him, Edward Lachman. You must know that Edward Lachman, who is also a little bald, is his royal cameraman, and he is also quite famous in Hollywood, and there is no doubt about his strength.

Steven Soderbergh is more like he wants to take charge of the camera himself, so that he can observe the actors' performances and performances up close.

Sean has to admit that Soderbergh, in this way, does give the actor a sense of confidence and security. At least Sean feels that a big director will be more at ease when he comes to shoot in person.

Instead of worrying about the color of the face behind the monitor after every shot.

Rigorous, cold, and hands-on, this is the impression that Soderbergh gave Sean.

He rarely yells, nor does he whisper like Doug Liman, but uses more of a clipboard to describe what he wants to say to the actors. Calm, rational and wise, he speaks very professionally.

Many directors say that when working with different actors, they will discover different characteristics and mysteries hidden in each actor. But although they say so, more often than not, they still choose their own actors. We often call it "lineage", or "royalty"!

Because they need actors who are really familiar with them to express what they want to express. Ease of use is their guideline.

But the actors are different.

Although they are happy to embrace familiar directors, they do not exclude collaboration with other directors. Actors need to be shaped, they need freshness. At least Sean feels that different directors will bring him different feelings.

At least at this point, the actor is not as duplicitous as the director.

Each of the directors Sean has worked with so far has their own style.

Julia Roberts and Albert Finney, one is the most successful commercial film queen in the United States, and the other is a British theater master, and their performances have dazzled Sean's eyes.

In Hollywood, whether it is the box office or awards, it is actually to increase its own value. But just winning awards, such as Meryl Streep, her salary is still not half of Julia Roberts's.

It can be seen that Hollywood is still a place that pays more attention to box office results. Of course, there is no actor who does not want to win an award.

Julia Roberts is undoubtedly the most successful actress in the United States right now, at least in terms of box office appeal. And her acting skills have been more and more affirmed from "Pretty Woman" to "Steel Mulan" to "My Best Friend's Wedding", which was a box office hit last year.

Not to mention Albert Finney, a big name who has been nominated for an Oscar many times. Although his reputation is not obvious, his strength is there, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a master of drama.

The drama between these two actors, Sean really enjoyed watching it.

"Wow, people are so nice, some people always want to help others......" Julia Roberts held the child and glanced at Albert in front of him sarcastically, "but some people just think about firing people and squid!" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're gone, I always thought you were out playing." Albert Finney looked up at the hot woman in front of him, with a natural taste in his tone.

"Oh...... Why do you think that? Erin, played by Julia Roberts, looks at Ed in bewilderment.

"Maybe you look like someone who knows how to play all day......" Ed glanced Erin up and down, giving a very nonsensical reason. It seems like a joke, but anyone who hears it can tell that he may really fire Erin's squid for some reason.

"Oh! By that standard, I would have thought you never slept with anyone! Erin, played by Julia Roberts, said to the old man in front of her with her eyes open.

“……”

Albert was stunned and squeezed out a sentence, "I'm married!" ”

The performances of both men are very natural, but the details are particularly realistic. Julia Roberts holds the child, and from time to time adjusts the child's posture to make it more comfortable, showing the state of a single mother.

And what about Albert? The image of a cute old man is also obvious.

"Why can you swagger and do whatever you want into the water conservancy association to find out what we need?" Albert's Ed, who took the materials that Erin got from the Water Association, kept reading them with his head down, and then asked his curiosity with a little question.

"Because I have a pair of big boobs!" The big-mouthed beauty hugged the child and popped out such a sentence.

Ed, played by the old man Albert, suddenly raised his head and was speechless.

The whole expression made Sean, who stood up and observe, want to clap his hands and shout hello. The expression is so rich, and the change in a moment is simply amazing.

After filming this scene, Albert Finney smiled and took a cup of English black tea from his assistant and sat on the sofa next to him to rest.

"Mind if I sit next to you? Albert? ”

"Oh no, do you need a cup of black tea? Sean? ”

Albert looked up, smiled and instructed his assistant to pour Sean a cup of black tea and handed it over.

"Get a taste of what authentic British black tea tastes like. Compared to the infamous British meals, our black tea has a much better reputation! ”

"Thank you...... Whew, it tastes good. Sean took a sip and felt that the black tea was very aromatic, although Sean preferred Chinese tea.

But as Albert said, the tea was undoubtedly much higher than their English meal.

"I thought you'd go to Roberts, you know, beautiful women are more attractive than bad old men. Especially a cool guy like you! Albert laughed and made a joke, and following his gaze, he could see Julia Roberts not far away talking to several staff members.

"You know, even though the two of us are playing couples, it's really a kind of start where I fell in love with her at first sight and she was lukewarm to me. So Soderbergh felt that it would be more real to keep a little strangeness between us before shooting. ”

Doesn't Sean like to spend time with big-mouthed beauties with long legs? Do you like to drink tea and chat with old British men here?

The problem is that Soderbergh, the director, for the sake of the filming effect, asked Sean and Julia Roberts not to have too much communication before filming the scenes between the two, especially before the relationship went further. He needed the two of them to have a sense of distance at the beginning.

Just like the relationship between the two, the process from defense to acceptance. Sean does think there is some truth to this. In this way, before filming the scene between the two, Sean could only sit with Albert.

"It feels so enriching and fun to see what you've just performed." Sean shifted his body and leaned back on the sofa more comfortably, enjoying a rare leisure time, and said with a smile, "And the richness is very real, it's really surprising." ”

"Thank you for the compliment......" Albert smiled and raised his glass, allowing his assistant to help refill the glass, "Have you ever seen a stage play or a theater play?" ”

"Drama? Stage plays? You're talking about Broadway? Sean shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't looked into these. ”

"That's a real shame, but there's actually a chance that you can go to London and see a stage play, and that's going to blow your mind. The actors' performances on the stage are more abundant, and the physical performances and expressions are very interesting. I love drama. Albert was very excited and excited about the performance of the stage play.

"I've heard that in stage plays, actors' performances need to be exaggerated, so that there is more tension?" Sean is very new to stage plays or theatrical performances, but I heard that the performances of the actors on stage are even more exaggerated, otherwise the audience will not be able to see clearly.

"No, no, no, the performance of the stage play is not an exaggeration, it can only be said that the stage play pays more attention to the body and the body language of the actors than the movie."

Albert stood up and said, "In drama, the basic body and body language of the actor are very important, because the movement is more infectious than the language. And the rich expressions you said are a kind of actor's way of conveying emotions. A good actor can't just have a poker face! Similarly, the most basic skills of an actor are actually body, demeanor and language, and without these three points, there is nothing that can support the actor's own system of shaping the role. ”

"Excavating the inner character of the characters and showing the tension of the characters are all to make the characters look better and attract the attention of the audience. But in fact, these performances are inseparable from the basic skills of actors. The basic skills required are all outside the play! ”

Albert looked at Sean, who was sitting on the sofa thoughtfully, smiled, and continued, "An actor, only by constantly accumulating and learning, when your reading comprehension of the character reaches a certain level, will you have your own understanding of the character." ”

"For example, when I was playing Pope Paul II, I read about him, but I focused more on Christian books. Then I analyzed the character bit by bit by observing his demeanor, movements, language and details. In this way, you can better shape the character. ”

Look? Form? Language?

Sean felt that today's brief exchange had opened a whole new door for him. Before, Sean always felt that playing a role was nothing more than to experience the character's life and integrate himself into the character. The in-depth experiential school is also the state of "role and self".

But Albert is to learn everything related to the character, grasp the details of the character, movements, demeanor, and then ponder it. This method requires more self-cultivation and professionalism of the actors.

It's not that this method is superior to the in-depth experiential approach, or that the experiential approach is less sophisticated than the professional one. It's just that they have a different level of understanding of the role.

I am the role and the role is actually the best interpretation of the role. There is no high or low. There are good and bad acting, but there is no high or low way of acting.

In later generations, when Bell participated in "13 Hairpins", in order to show the scene of car repair, he personally went to learn car repair skills. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of accumulation.

Albert Finney was born in theater and has a typical academic approach. In this way, Sean has not been in contact with it. Among the actors he worked with, there didn't seem to be anyone with such a high level of professionalism and professionalism.

I didn't expect that this cameo for a salary of 150,000 yuan gave me such a big inspiration.

PS: There are different opinions on the method school and the experience school, but Lao Ye thinks that no matter which way it is, there is no higher or lower.

The acting skills are good and bad, but the way is not high.

As said in martial arts novels, there is a distinction between good and evil, but there is no distinction between good and evil in martial arts. What is good is good, and vice versa. The same goes for the way of acting.

Lao Ye's elaboration of the way of acting only represents the words of one family, if there are objections or different ideas, we can discuss them in the book review area, but don't get excited.

The information everyone has seen, Lao Ye has also seen it, so it doesn't matter what IQ suppression.

There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people!

Marlon Brando and Meryl Streep are even more indistinguishable from experience. But the way of the two is not very different, but who can say that there is a right and wrong between the two?

We hope you will continue to support us!
