Chapter 31 I'm not a star, I'm just a little actor

Dawson City, Yukon, Canada.

In order to show the atmosphere of Christmas, Sean followed the whole crew to the Yukon Territory, Canada to shoot the scene.

It's different from Southern California, where the sun obviously doesn't shine here.

Although it is the height of summer, the Yukon is still cooler in the morning and evening due to the latitude and longitude, which is more conducive to the filming of movies.

Suddenly, from sunny Southern California, across Northern California, Washington State, and two other states in Canada that Sean can't name, and suddenly arrived in Dawson City, which has a large temperature difference and is gloomy and cold, Sean is really not used to it.

"Sean, this is Sarah Polly, a Canadian girl. Next to her is Katie Helms, and they're all going to play against you. You can familiarize yourself with it. ”

Doug Liman was followed by two girls, the slightly shorter one was Sarah, with a slightly long chin and some freckles around the nose, which looked very individual. And the tall, slightly plump woman next to her with long brown hair is Katie.

Katie Helms, a native American beauty.

"Hello, Sean Rodriguez Cross, just call me Sean." Sean nodded, greeting with an unnatural expression. I always felt that this American girl was a little familiar, but I couldn't say it clearly.

"Sean?"

Katie Holmes stared at Sean and always felt like she had seen Sean somewhere. And Sean's name sounds familiar.

"I see, you're Sean who had an affair with Angelina? Oh! Is that you? ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered the gossip news that the entertainment newspaper had reported for several days before. Katie Holmes suddenly realized, and then recognized Sean.

"It should be me." Sean forced a forced smile squeezed at the corner of his mouth.

"You know?" Sarah asked Katie curiously.

"Uh......" Katie saw Sean's embarrassed face, and couldn't help but whisper in the ear of the friend she had just met about Sean's "glorious achievements". With her words, Sarah looked at Sean's gaze with more and more surprise.

"I'm sorry, I have something to talk about with Director Doug, you can ...... it at will" Sean couldn't help but apologize to the two gossip girls, and hurriedly found an excuse to pull Doug Liman aside to discuss some issues with Todo's character.

However, the two people do have a big difference in their understanding of the role.

Doug Liman thinks that Todo's character is a typical gangster, strong on the outside and very. It's just a guy who doesn't go into the stream.

Sean doesn't think so, though.

Sean thinks this guy can't behave like a normal thug.

He sells drugs every day, and he also smokes these things, so Sean thinks that at least he shouldn't be awake all the time, he should be very decadent and his brain will be confused. Even a little insane is reasonable.

"Doug, I don't mean to offend. I read the script more than thirty times. I went to the streets of Los Angeles to find someone to buy big and psychedelic drugs, and I tried small pills. I just felt like I didn't know where. I also spent two hundred dollars to learn how to sell these with a black guy. ”

Sean paused, waiting for the little curly-haired Doug next to him to digest it, "I asked him, if a stranger came to buy it, would you sell it?" He told me how to screen if it was a strip or not! I asked again, if a minor comes to buy and sell you? He smiled, and you know how he told me?

They will sell even when God comes to buy them. Do you think they make their brains normal like this? These guys eat these things all day long, and I don't think they're going to be in their right minds.

Although he is just a small drug dealer-drug gangster, the more such low-level gangsters, I think they are more crazy. Because they don't know if they'll see the sun tomorrow. ”

Doug Liman listened attentively as Sean analyzed his understanding of the character.

"You said you ate those things? It took 200 US dollars to learn these? Doug pursed his lips and stared at Sean, feeling incredulous and incredulous.

"Eat, two at a time, hey, I almost went to God! Wake up sweaty! It's even more empty than going to do a night in the blue pool!

Originally, it was 100 US dollars, but then in order to try the real deal, I went to sell the medicine to a boy chicken I didn't know. Added 100 US dollars. Sean replied truthfully.

Doug Liman stared at Sean's indifferent eyes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up with a smile, "Hehe, you rookie actually went to sell drugs?" I'm so lucky I wasn't caught by the police! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have found such a dedicated and funny stubborn guy. ”

"Thank you. Anyway, I'm standing here right now, and it's a great honor to see you laugh! I thought you wouldn't laugh like Stallone......" Sean pursed his lips, making fun of the other party's 10,000-year-old poker face by the way.

Anyway, Stallone is indeed a poker face.

"You'll keep seeing." Doug Liman regained his poker face, but he could tell in his tone that he was in a good mood.

"I hope so." Sean shrugged his shoulders, disapproving.

"I'm kind of convinced that you're not a little white face who eats soft rice now. It seems that those gossip tabloid reports are indeed nonsense. ”

Doug Riman stared at Sean, holding his chin in his hand and nodded, "But I originally thought that with this bit of exposure, you could become a little star by saying anything, so that it could be used as a promotional point for the film, but now it seems that my wish is going to be disappointed." ”

"Shet! Don't think about reporters coming over for your little production. Sean popped out a cigarette and landed exactly on his lips, "I'm not a star, I'm just a actor." ”

The movie "Forward" uses a cross-plot development line, just like the "Memory Fragments" two years ago.

It's just that Doug Riman sees the film more as an attempt at an experimental montage.

The film is mainly focused on young people. Or the next generation in the United States.

To be honest, watching the script repeat constantly, Sean couldn't figure out which clip started first.

For example, the appearance of the characters played by Sean and Katie Holmes in the breakfast shop is actually a good foreshadowing. Sean also listened to Doug Liman's lecture to himself, and only then did he adjust the context in his mind.

This made Sean even more interested in his role as Todo.

But......

Look at Sarah, who was put on makeup according to Doug Liman's request, and then look at Katie Helms, who was originally quite beautiful. Sean finally understood what Dougliman's "state of nature" was.

"Seanβ€”"

Doug Liman, a guy with small curly hair and a high nose, looked at Sean, who was wearing a tight T-shirt and looked quite muscular, and threw a bunch of things, "Don't forget to wear a Santa hat." ”

"Of course." Sean waved the Santa hat in his hand and replied with a smile.

In the past two days, Doug Liman and Sean had a good conversation, and the two not only talked about the movie, but also talked about the content outside the movie.

Of course, more discussion is about the opinion of the movie "Forward". We often share our opinions on this film.

Compared with the expertise of Doug Liman, a professional, Sean analyzes the film more from the perspective of an actor. And some of Sean's ideas also inspired Doug Liman.

"Sarah? Katie? Well, after I shout for a while, let's follow the previous rehearsal. Units get ready! ”

Doug Liman spoke logically, and although his voice was high, he never lost his temper. The whole person looks very serious.

This is not the same as the yelling of Dominic that Sean was in contact with before, as if he knew everything. Although it is low-key, it has a strong on-site control, and it belongs to the character of a soft knife cutting meat.

"Eksh!"

There was a bang, and Katie, who was sitting in a dilapidated and painted car, stepped out of the car.

Appears in front of an electronic door in an apartment.

Small leather boots, shorts, red leather jacket, stray hair, a punk outfit.

Katie's Lorna, who is played by the intercom, announces her name through the intercom at the gate. On the other side of the curfew was Sean, who was sitting in the room.

"Yes, I am."

A rather hoarse, tired and impatient voice came.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Doug Liman was stunned.

The voice was hoarse and devoid of energy, which was Sean's message through his voice. Don't look at it as a small detail, but Doug Riman understands that Sean has already started to perform without cameras through his voice here.

What is a cameraless performance?

There are on-camera performances that are easy to understand, and the actors perform and create characters in front of the camera.

How do you perform when the camera isn't in front of you?

Many excellent actors have a sense of camera. When the camera appears, it instantly adjusts to the character's performance. This is called power. It is not only about talent, but also about accumulation.

But even more rare is a performance without a camera.

That is to say, no matter whether the camera appears in front of you or not, whether you have lines or not, you must continue your performance according to the script setting or the character's personality.

Sean is not in front of the camera right now, obviously.

Now the scene only needs him to talk to Lorna played by Sarah in front of him through the intercom. The camera and frame are placed in front of Sarah.

Sean in the room doesn't actually have to act, he just needs to finish the conversation.

But......

Doug Liman bets that Sean in the room must be performing without camera according to the character's setting.

Tired, hoarse, impatient.

This is the message that Sean sends through his voice.

The hand-held camera followed Sarah into the room.

The original script, Todo Geller, is the character Sean was going to play.

Sitting topless on the couch and lighting a cigarette, he asks Sarah.

And Sean felt that this did not fit the setting of the character, so after Sean discussed it with Dougliman, he changed the way he appeared.

"I guess you're buying with Simon, right?"

The whole body**, tightly wearing a pair of black boxers, sweat hanging all over the muscles, chest muscles, eight-pack abs, and mermaid line are covered with a layer of sweat.

That's right, it's sweat, not water.

To achieve this effect, Sean did push-ups in the house an hour ahead of time. So, when Sean walked out, even Doug Liman had an expression of amazement.

Half-rolled eyelids, pale, and messy hair.

"Phew!"

Sean spat on his hand, then applied it to his hair as wax and straightened his hairstyle.

"Whew-"

Sean lay on the table, holding the tin foil, took out some powder with his little fingernail and smeared it on his nose, sucked it hard, and wiped the rest on his teeth and gums, and the whole person looked like an addict. Of course, these powders are replaced with milk powder.

"I ...... I'll keep it a secret...... Keep it secret for him. ”

Fortunately, although Sarah Polly is not a particularly famous actor, this 20-year-old girl is not only born in an acting family, but also began to perform individually at the age of 4, and has rich acting experience. He is also an emerging personality actor in Canada.

So she was not blinded by Sean's performance, but stumbled into the lines. And this unintentional feeling also played the feeling of this role.

"You can steal ...... Hiss-"

Sean pinched his nose and shook his head vigorously, and at this time, a sexy woman with a bulge and a backward curved back put her arms around Sean from behind, lowered her head and kissed Sean on the lips. Sean responded fiercely, kissing passionately in front of Sarah.

With her lips parted, the girl smiled and put a certain Santa hat on Sean's head, and Sean slapped the other party's fat buttocks with a smile.

"Smack!"

"Goodbye baby! See you next Christmas. Sean shook his head and said goodbye to the woman with a very high look.

The hoarse, tired voice became even more hoarse at this time, but because of the powder, it did not look tired.

"I don't think it's an ordinary visit......"

Sean leaned back on the sofa all over, with no image at all, as if he had been sucked out of his bones, lazy and lazy, and completely looked like an overindulgent addict.

"I want your helpβ€”" Sarah sat there stiffly.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

Sean's body suddenly bounced up a little, his face leaned over, and he twisted his neck with a hippie smile, "I really didn't know we were still good friends!" ”

After saying this, his face changed, his eyelids drooped, and he ignored Sarah.

Doug Liman, who was standing there, watched Sean's performance and nodded secretly.

Originally, he thought that as a rising Canadian star and winner of the Canadian Acting Award, Sarah Polly was the leader of the show.

But Sean's performance did not disappoint Doug Liman, and through the actions of a series of addicts, he played a low-level drug dealer very well.

Although some of the performances are a bit excessive, the overall performance is faintly superior.

Sarah Polly's performance was certainly also very impressive, and under Sean's pressure, the Canadian genius burst out with even more energy.

The boldness, restraint, nervousness, and excitement of that teenager are all expressed.

Sean has applied everything he has learned from the black drug trafficker here.

Pressed the TV remote control, turned up the voice, and then leaned into Sarah's ear, said a word, and then stood aside. looked at the nervous girl in front of her with a playful face.

Picking his fingers, he motioned for the other party to undress, check if it was an undercover agent sent by the police, and whether there was any recording equipment. Is it a police fishing law enforcement.

Sarah had no choice but to take off her clothes one by one. Then he saw Sean holding a lighter in one hand and motioned for himself to turn in a circle.

The whole person seemed very cautious and careful, with a pair of eyes staring at Sarah, not letting go of any place. He didn't even say a word, but only commanded Sarah with his mouth and movements.

The cautious interpretation of the little gangsters who sell magic drugs at the bottom is very real.

Sean's performance is very grassroots, very low-level, and not pretentious at all. At first glance, it is not a big man who can be on the stage.

Even buttoning the crotch from time to time, Sean showed it naturally.

When I was counting the madness-hallucination-medicine for Sarah, I didn't perform like everyone else, so I just had to count them in makeup.

Sean counted them one by one very seriously, and then really counted the exact amount to the other party.

This is the attitude of a businessman, a drug trafficker. They are not big people, they are just bastards who do business one by one.

This made Doug Liman on the side feel that it was really the right choice to let Sean play this role.

Although this guy doesn't have much experience, he really dares to help street gangsters sell drugs. Really bought the drug - I went to try it myself.

This effort and the talent that flashes from time to time, Doug Liman is confident that this guy will definitely have a place in Hollywood in the future.

Even if there are many big names, they can't hide his light.

"This is not a guy who is willing to be ordinary! Not a muscular stupid, but a bastard who really thinks about what it means to act! ”

Doug Liman twitched and smiled.

Sean gave him a big surprise and made him extremely curious about Sean.

PS: Ask for tickets and collections, there are still two days, and the one-month new book period will pass, and there will be no new book list by then. The old leaves will also be updated accordingly.

Some friends said that the update is not powerful.,This shows that the new book period is indeed a day and a change.,But 30 chapters,120,000 words,An average of 4,000 chapters.,It shouldn't be particularly unhelpful.。

After the end of the new book period, the updates will gradually start to increase, which is a big step forward.

It's Monday, ask for some tickets, although there are only two days left, but Lao Ye hopes that we will be honorably removed from the new book list, instead of leaving miserably.

Thank you! This is the first shift, and there should be a shift in the afternoon!
