When Jackman was thinking about the pursuit of this film, he was also preparing for the filming of the film - the lens language of the film is of course very important, and another key part of the film, the performance of the actors in the film, is also one of the very important components.

Jackman himself knows that he has to work very hard to perform, because on this day, he has realized where his gap lies.

When the film first started shooting, he found that it was always difficult for him to adapt to the low shooting angle of the movie: when the actors performed, they needed to be adjusted, the standing posture, the elevation angle of the face, these were all things that needed to be adjusted, and different camera positions wanted to show the best side, which was more troublesome. If the camera position is low, then he needs to adjust greatly, and this beginning is also a headache for him.

What can be done to solve this problem? This was also a headache for him at first. But soon, he found that Spacey's adjustment in front of the movie camera was very easy. He did a good job of arranging Levy.

"When you're shooting, you're shooting the first part, which mainly allows you to show the colder part of Wiesler at the beginning, and the later part that shows warmth is shot later, and you don't need to show any expression in this part, but you are asked to show gentle emotion. And the shock, feeling, and change in the middle, we put it in the final stage of the shooting, because this aspect requires you to change the most. ”

Spacey now has far fewer plays to perform than he does. He has just finished filming in another movie "L.A. Confidential", and although the filming of the movie has begun, it is still somewhat unin place, so when Levi is filming his scenes, he also chooses some relatively simple and easier scenes to complete, giving him time to adjust.

It's just that even if only some simple parts are filmed, Spacey's performance is still shocking.

Many of his scenes are in a posture without any changes, just sitting in front of the eavesdropping machine, holding the microphone and listening to the sound. His expression adjusted slightly according to the change in what he heard. In front of the camera, all he needs to show is these subtle adjustments.

These subtle expression adjustments can be said to be much more difficult than Jackman's ability to show his acting skills with body movements and lines. There are so many close-ups of the face, and they are all shot from very strange angles, Jackman asked himself if he was acting, then he would definitely not be able to adapt to it.

However, when Spacey sat down in his seat, Jackman realized that these things that seemed to be difficult to perform, Spacey performed perfectly.

Jackman knew that the other party was a top actor, and he was also on the scene when the other party was performing, and he was always observing. Spacey's scene, the back shot, the oblique lower side shot, plus a frontal shot, the three shots are shot from different angles, and Spacey quickly adapts to this angle after a short adjustment.

This made Jackman quite surprised at the time, and when he asked Spacey for advice, Spacey immediately told him the reason, "This kind of angle shooting is not uncommon in movies: you can go and see the works of Yasujiro Ozu, many of his films are from such angles, you don't know how to show angles in front of the movie, just go to his movies, see how those actors express angles, and you can learn." ”

Yasujiro Ozu's work? Jackman only knows that the director's works always seem surprisingly heavy, but he rarely pays attention to the skillful use of the angles of his films. After hearing Spacey's experience, he immediately went to find his filmography. Moreover, not only the works of Yasujiro Ozu, but also some other Japanese works, he immediately discovered, sure enough, during the performance, some of the Japanese shots were all shot from the lower to the upper elevation angle - and this is the reason why Ozu Yasujiro's works are heavy, this small elevation angle creates a magical effect.

"It's amazing, I can't imagine that Japan has been making movies like this for a long time." With enough references, Jackman also began to learn the art of acting, and in private, he mentioned it to Russell Crowe, who introduced him to the crew, and Crowe only laughed when he heard about it, "Japanese people are different from people elsewhere." The height of others is quite the same because people are used to sitting in a chair and watching a movie. Many things in Japan are photographed for people sitting on tatami mats. ”

The height of the tatami mat is completely different from the height of the chair, and because Japan has the habit of sitting on tatami mats, it is natural that a completely different method of shooting has developed - these things seem very simple and make sense, but before that, Jackman had never thought of it, and he didn't know until he used it now.

Spacey knew, Crowe knew, but he didn't know - Jackman knew better about his gap as he figured it out. Sometimes, the gap in acting skills is not only a problem of acting skills, but also a problem of an actor's knowledge. I have watched a lot of movies and understand a lot of principles, and when I make a movie, I am naturally very handy at dealing with the director's requirements. If you don't learn this, your acting skills will never improve. Compared to Spacey and Crowe, he still has a long way to go.

Sitting in the corner, Jackman thought to himself about how he could adjust his posture to achieve better results. After two or three silent simulations on his mental side, he stood up again and smiled at Levy, who was looking at him.

"Don't worry, there will never be another problem next time." Hugh Jackman said, "Do you want to try it now?" ”

Levy nodded and asked him to put on a show.

Levy doesn't ask much of Jackman in this movie, at least, Hugh Jackman is still very satisfied with his arrangement.

As an actor, he realized that his acting skills were actually relatively poor, because he was young and inexperienced, and his acting skills were simply incomparable to Spacey. If it is another movie, he and Spacey are the two protagonists of the movie, then the two of them must have a rival scene, but, with the help of the special structural level created by Levy, whenever he appears, Spacey will not appear, and the two people do not have a line dialogue between each other in the whole movie, and they do not communicate with each other, which has a great effect on covering up their acting skills.

I don't know how many actors there are every year, and in the process of playing against good actors, the acting skills of better actors are nothing but nothing. Jackman was also worried that if he played against Spacey, maybe he would also be blown up. Levy didn't let him play against Spacey, this shooting technique may be a bit of a test for himself, but the director's arrangement is also very beneficial to his own performance and future.

"Don't try too hard, you're already doing well." Seeing that Jackman's performance has improved a lot in another performance, Levy did not forget to encourage him: he is really not capable enough, and this problem can be corrected by grinding. And he was able to apologize as soon as he was pointed out that he was wrong, and this attitude is enough to be satisfying.

As long as he is willing to act obediently, then he can become a good actor: Levy knows very well that acting skills are not born, but honed. The more you film and hone your heart, the faster your acting skills will improve. Don't think about it, it's all about talent, no matter how good the talent is, it's in vain.

In his previous life, he had seen a lot of actors, and he had amazing acting skills at a young age, but since he became famous, he began to focus all his energy on making money, playing some rags that did not help his acting skills at all, resulting in how many years have passed for him, and he is still at the level of acting skills when he first debuted.

Jackman is very attentive to the honing of his acting skills, in his memory, he will go all the way to the road of commercial films because of his role as Wolverine in the future, and now, he did not choose the same path, but took another path, maybe this will be more helpful for the improvement of his acting skills. Compared with others, he is still the easiest one to complete the work among the actors.

The real trouble, is Theron.

Spacey's play doesn't need to worry too much, although Jackman has a big gap when filming, he works hard enough, and because his opponents are relatively poor, he still plays better. What is depressing is that Theron's foundation is not much better than Jackman, she has only acted in one movie, and her acting skills are worse than Hugh Jackman, who has been honing musical dramas for many years. What's more troublesome is that her role is different from that of De Leman, who plays very simple roles, most of them are scenes with no more than three people, and the actors who play are not particularly good actors. And Theron is different from him in that her several scenes, including two group scenes, and a confrontation with Spacey, are still quite heavy for her.

"Charlize, are you ready for the part I asked you to prepare, the part of the play with Dryman?"

While Jackman prepares, Levy also approaches Theron and asks her questions.

"I can cry, but you make me act desperate and struggle, and I can't do it." Theron said distressedly.

And so it was...... That's the most worrying part.
