"The 26th shooting on July 23, 2010. "Le > Text" novel wwW.し wxs520.cOm "As the electronic slate closes, Jenny, who has changed into a heavy winter dress with some 19th-century colors, walks around the forest again, she can feel the cold wind drilling up the corners of her clothes, and the warmth of the lighting board and the light shining on her body, and this feeling of ice and fire is not comfortable, which makes it difficult for her to enter the state of entering the play - to be honest, even if she wants to enter the play now, she has a little difficulty, because Salvi did not show her the specific script, Just let her, like Heath, go forward on this road, and give her an emotional state, just shoot back and forth over and over again, of course, there will be a break during each time, after all, in addition to Jenny being tortured, there are dozens of staff in the outfield who are also providing her with technical support.

After a morning of going back and forth like this, Jenny Ren has always had a good temper, and now she has an urge to give up on herself, but she has no intention of protesting, just mechanically following Salvi's instructions to the front: on the set, the director has absolute authority, if he can't bear even a morning, and if Salvi has to give an opinion when he doesn't specifically target her, the next shooting will definitely not go smoothly. Moreover, this is indeed a filming technique that exists, and Salvi is not the only director who uses it.

――Yes, there are many times when actors don't know what they're filming on set, and the more big-name art directors are, the more they like to do this, and the most famous of them is Wong Kar-wai. This is also the reason why he will never be able to make commercial films, the scripts of commercial films must have been set a long time ago, and they are very cost-effective, and it is impossible for him to waste time so much. And Salvi's style may be a little better than Wong Kar-wai, because he also explained to Jenny the basic age and mood of Coke - the current Coke is not a girl's time, but a 20-something marriageable young woman stage when she meets Mantos for the second time, and she is also in a different mood for her age, so she habitually comes to the forest where she often walks with her former lover. And then...... And then it was gone, and in the script Jenny saw, there was no such paragraph, and she didn't know what Coke was going to do, so she just walked over and over again, back and forth, back and forth, playing a budget game with Salvi......

As for Wong Kar-wai, he can do it for hours to let the actors stand and wander in the local area, without a script, without any other information, until the actors finally collapse, and only then choose one of the scenes, and the most exaggerated thing is that many times the actors who make his movies can not see the script from beginning to end...... And the big names who worked with him didn't just endure it obediently, and the most terrible thing was that the material that was shot so collapsed might be cut out in the end.

For his own approach, Wang's explanation is that this can strip away the guardiness of the actors, remove the kind of slippery because of rich experience, and let them reveal the most authentic human side. The expression of naked feelings can always hit people's hearts, and it also makes the movie more layered. I still remember when I read the report in my previous life, Jenny still agreed with this, Wong Kar-wai's movie, for the plot and characters, can indeed make every audience have their own interpretation, as if it is a screenshot of a life, everyone will have their own opinion on it, and it is not necessary to be the same as others. ――At that time, she didn't know that she would also be 'ravaged' by a director of the genre Wong Kar-wai, so of course it wasn't a big deal to watch the excitement......

And now, after putting on the costume and starting to walk again and again, Jenny understands the bitterness in the hearts of the actors who filmed Wong Kar Wai's films, as well as Heath's indescribable expression: For an excellent actor, Jenny is not afraid of the director's task, even if she gives more than a thousand words of inner activity, asking you to think about this passage in your heart when you walk through this journey, as long as you give instructions, this addition can always be done, and even as long as you give the script, No matter how short the dialogue is, she can make guesses based on the context and the biography of the characters, knowing what Coke will think in such a situation, as long as there is something to play, it is not difficult to immerse herself in it, but there is almost nothing, not even why is she in a bad mood, and there is no script, which makes her completely blind, and she doesn't even know how to try.

The first time, Jenny was still trying to find a feeling, to make some drama in her heart, the second time and the third time, she was trying to make a different solution, and now that she was about to go to lunch again, she had completely given up and began to think: Salvi is not a crazy director, he shot "Monroe" quite well, why did he not follow the previous approach in this film he created, but to make such an attempt?

She can't communicate directly with Salvi, after all, if she wants, he himself will come to chat with her, as far as her guess is, any performance is actually an information journey with the audience, the actor through his own performance, conveying all kinds of complex information, like a silent and lagging communication journey, maybe in biographical movies like "Monroe", because the character's emotions are very intense, and the experience is also very legendary, the director does not need the audience to really substitute and understand the actor from the bottom of his heart, So the information given by the actor can be very direct and clear, and a thousand viewers will come to basically the same conclusion after watching it - well, she is happy/sad/complicated at this time.

But for "Life Journey", this movie has a lot of metaphors, a lot of stream-of-consciousness parts, and the characters are also very ordinary, and the characters are not very extreme, it is more about conveying a kind of intention and feelings, what the actor gives is a catalyst, it touches the audience's feelings for their own experience, it is a blank topic, and this is more demanding for the actors, of course the actors themselves can't act stupidly, they really don't give any information when acting, they must rely on their true feelings to impress the audience, But this truth can't be too clear, which will limit the audience's perception - and it is very easy to give people a feeling of overexertion, because when the audience watches this type of movie, the director will first be brought into that kind of rhythm like a heart, and unconsciously put their emotions into the role, and normal people's expressions are generally more restrained, no one will be happy or sad if they are fine, if they go too far, the audience will not be able to integrate, but will have a sense of embarrassment towards your performance. Just like in "The Great Gatsby", Leonardo's performance is like this, especially the part where he is waiting for a reunion with Daisy, which is an exemplary performance of overexertion, because it is actually a plot that can easily evoke empathy, and his performance is really out of the normal person's perception of this situation.

If you don't act, you can't act, you can't act deliberately, so that there must be a theme performance school to act in this kind of movie anytime and anywhere, it would be a bit blind, so the successful people in this kind of movie can generally bring out the experience school, Salvi also found Jenny and Heath, the two more famous experience parties. What he needs may be the kind of reality and fantasy, as if he is in the play but not in the play, coupled in the life experience of the character, but there is no deliberate sense of sadness and joy, and in terms of this standard, Jenny must have been unqualified the first few times she left, she has been adding to herself, and she is acting a little too deliberately.

After a short journey, no matter how fast his thinking turned, and a few perceptions were over, Salvi shouted 'cut' and said calmly, "Take a break, and continue in a while." ”

The staff were already accustomed to his turtle hair, and several staff members immediately spread it out, draped blankets over her, and hot water to warm Jenny - after she proposed that she would not drink tea and coffee, the crew prepared special hot water, of course, the heating in the trailer was always on, and you could get on the trailer to rest during the rest period, eat a small snack to replenish calories or something, and the photographer on one side took off his gloves and sat on the steps of the trailer and gulped down the free doughnuts. -- That's why the Hollywood crew can be so professional, they have been spinning around in a grove for more than a week, and their work is super mechanical, but none of the crew members have negative emotions, everyone is still happy, and it seems that it will not be a problem to continue filming for a few months.

After a little rest for fifteen minutes, everyone was very familiar with the position, Salvi also walked out of the trailer, he looked much more serious than usual at work, there was a faint sense of awe-inspiring alienation, he made a tidy-up, the scene notes board, Jenny made a little sure of his train of thought, this seems to be a walk in the mountains and forests with no end in sight, and the shooting starts again.

"What would a cola at this age think?" This time, Jenny decided not to try to do additions anymore, but to try ...... She didn't know either, so she thought she was just exploring it. "What would a woman of this age think? Since Salvi wants to evoke universal empathy......"

Since it's empathy, what are you thinking about at this age? Jenny thought as she followed the route almost instinctively: if you count the real mental age, it should be her previous life, which was probably the marriageable age before the crossing...... However, her experience is more special, and it may not be universal.

If I were an ordinary girl growing up in a normal family, what would I think at this time? She thought - since it is the marriageable age and has not yet been in love, it is natural to feel anxious, after all, although the forced marriage of American parents will not be as crazy as China, but the pressure is not trivial, the most important thing is that in the age group where people of the same age have been married, they have not found a suitable partner, it is like being abandoned by the public, reason cannot suppress the emotional hesitation and panic, at least not completely, maybe it can be happy, but I can't, if I don't have this wonderful experience, I don't come to Hollywood, So although my physical skills are superior, the emotional feedback is still very strong - maybe I don't have the experience I had when I was growing up, and growing up in an ordinary environment would be a little weaker and more willful, which is understandable......

If you have the option to do it all over again, you will be given two options before crossing over to Hollywood, one is to return to a Chinese city, be the daughter of a happy family, and have a well-off family...... Well, no, in China, women have to be constrained and discriminated against too much because of traditional culture, or the United States, Nordic is not bad, but the United States is more familiar - if she was reborn in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, and lived a life like Lillian, maybe a little less beautiful, and now, crossing into Jenny, who is poor and white, with nothing but a golden finger, what will she choose? Enjoying the love of his relatives, he never had to make any difficult decisions, and the biggest annoyance was that his husband was unwilling to be a househusband......

Jenny couldn't help but shake her head slightly, she pursed her lips and hid her smile, after all, she could still realize that she was shooting. Although it is hypothetical, although this road has also stumbled to today, there have been countless moments on the verge of collapse, not all the way to the sun, although she still remembers those frightening moments, remembers those loneliness and pain that no one cares about...... But these pasts make up the whole her, yes, the past is not perfect, but after those emotions of remembrance...... She has no regrets, she is still content with the present.

“cut。” Salvi shouted, "Good, this one is finished." ”

The voice of surprise passed through the crew members - compared to the results of Heath's first 'good' that took two whole days to grind, Jenny only got the 'good' in one morning, which really made them unprepared, and many crew members even thought that Salvi was going to deliberately grind the two actors for a week to grind off their Hollywood celebrity temper.

"Let's have lunch," Salvi himself certainly did not respond to the staff's surprise, he said, "David, bring the team to a meeting with us in the afternoon, make a shooting schedule, have a day off tomorrow, and start the official location the day after tomorrow." ”

This also announced the official end of the 'test shoot', which had no specific storyboard and shooting plan, and the crew cheered slightly, while Salvi beckoned to Jenny, and when she came to the computer connected to the monitor, he played back the shot he had just taken, "There is no dimming and color grading, it is a little rough, but I believe I can still see the difference." ――I don't say which paragraph is which, you can judge. ”

He released a picture of Jenny walking in the woods, looking at the trees around her expressionlessly, she seemed a little absent-minded, even a little indifferent and dull, and hurried through the woods. It's hard to judge how she's feeling right now - as if she's not in the mood at all.

In the second scene, Jenny still doesn't have much expression, only the occasional eye looks at the sparse trees on one side - although this forest is really not big, but under the cover of the framing angle, she looks like she is walking in a dense forest - however, what she is thinking, this is natural, you can see from between her eyebrows, I don't know what she remembers, a smile flashes in her eyes, but at the same time her expression looks a little sad, which makes her expression impressive.

"Well, the first section should be in the middle part, when you're tired." Jenny guessed, "The second paragraph is...... I don't know, the last time? ”

Salvi nodded, "The first paragraph is indeed the middle part...... Look at this paragraph again. ”

He clicked on another video, and Jenny was still walking on the road with her hands in her pockets, her expression was not much, between the second and the first, but ...... You could tell her emotions in that faint expression, that she must be preoccupied, and perhaps a little irritated—her eyes seemed unpredictable, flickering, and one wondered what she was going through.

"Uh......" said Jenny, too, confused, "this is the last time?" ”

"The second paragraph is the last pass, and this one is the first pass." Salvi said, "Compare the two paragraphs, how do you feel? ”

"The last time it was more restrained—" Jenny thought with a frown.

"It's also more sincere." "More naturally, it's an ordinary person's expression, and if you think about it, it's rare to see a passenger on the subway who is in a daze, but you can see his emotions and even read a part of his life." Is it? As for the first time, it was the actor's performance, which was excellent, but in this film, I didn't need it. ”

"Subtraction." Jenny said she had a little smugness — Salvi's train of thought matched her guess quite well.

Salvi's eyes fell on her, and his tone softened, full of approval. "Yes, subtraction."

There is no need to say it explicitly, the unique tacit understanding between the two makes them both smile naturally: compared to Hiss and Salvi, who need to run in for a week to find a point of convergence, it is clear that Jenny and him are more compatible.

"Will we be able to see the script when filming officially starts?" Jenny walked side by side with him to the trailer.

"Most of the time, no." Salvi said, "I'm going to tell you about it every day before shooting, and that's the only information you can get." ”

"Even if I've already read the script?"

Salvi rubbed his blonde hair, his majesty as a director faded, and his usual shy and self-contained reserve faded, and he looked like the one who was immersed in his own world, full of romance and excitement. Love the big boy.

"How do you know that script isn't my bait?" He winked at Jenny, "Without it, would you have signed a gig contract?" ”

Jenny blinked a few times to determine if he was joking, and when Salvi laughed, she knew she had lost, and she said, "Hey—"

Salvi just waved at her, "Wait and hear the story, Jennifer - remember, this is a film that does subtraction, and even if you remember the script, it's better to forget it all." ”

He didn't mean to communicate much, as if trying to maintain Jenny's ignorance and depression, and turned and walked towards his trailer. Jenny stood still, looking at his back with some smirk, before shrugging her shoulders and getting into her car.

There is no doubt that this will be the most psychedelic and special filmmaking she has ever experienced, and even the shooting itself was like a dream, but it is undeniable that she did have excitement and anticipation for the next filming process: the film is like a never-ending road trip, and when you think you know what it is all about, after the next turn, you will be surprised to find that there is a whole new landscape ahead.

With no cell phone and no one to share her feelings, Jenny could only look out the window, reverie thousands of miles away at Los Angeles, where most of her familiar friends lived, and she smiled innocently at the grass outside the window, and said to herself, "I'm making movies again, yes-"
