When he figured out the incomprehensible question that he had been struggling with in his heart, Theron's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

The human psyche is strange: for Theron, who has worked hard in Hollywood for two years and is almost unappreciated, Levy's appreciation is of vital significance to her. Levy was the first director willing to cast her as a starring role, and the first to decide that she could succeed. In Theron's opinion, how he evaluates himself, it can even be said that it is the biggest turning point in his career, her uneasiness and anxiety, which is why she comes from.

And after figuring out that he still has a lot of weight in Levy's opinion, Theron's original resentment towards Levi has disappeared. She even felt a little proud: at least, Levy was not concerned with her beauty, but with her acting skills. In Theron's life, there has never been a shortage of people calling herself a beauty, and there is not much attention paid to her acting skills, but for an actor, what is more to be proud of than having his acting skills recognized by the director?

Therefore, when she thought about this, her expression softened a lot.

"I can see that you are a fan of Adjani, if I need to act, then, should I learn from Adjani? Is she the best French actress? ”

Theron posed his own question. During this time, the biggest problem she encountered was that she couldn't act well. Although she already knows that Levy values herself very much, she still can't solve the problem of how to act well. Therefore, she also wanted to ask Levy how she was supposed to act.

Sitting across from her, Levy also noticed that there seemed to be some subtle changes in Theron's mood, as if there was less estrangement between her and herself. He was also a little happy in his heart: in the recent past, he has had very little communication with Theron, so that Theron has been in a bad mood during the filming a few days ago. Although Levy has always wanted to talk to her, Levy has a lot of things to do with himself. Although the investment in this film is not small, after all, it is the first time that Mystery Company has invested in making a movie, and Levy does not have too many people to trust, and he has to do it himself in many places, which also makes him neglect to communicate with the actors. And now, it's good to see that the gap between Theron and herself has decreased.

Now that Theron is a little open-minded, she should strike while the iron is hot, she wants to know how she should act, so she can just tell her about it.

"Yes, I admit it, she is a good actress, beauty and acting coexist, and I am indeed her fan. But if you want to say the best, among the French actresses, Huppert is the best acting school, and the roles she plays are really ever-changing, which makes people have to admire. Even sometimes I think that even Merrill Streep is a little worse than Hupper. She takes on too many plays, and many times people float outside the play and can't integrate into the play. ”

Levi continued to speak of his opinion, and this time, when he spoke again, Theron just sat and looked at him with a smile, quietly listening to his high talk, and even did not raise any objection to Levi's praise of Adjani's beauty, until he had finished speaking.

"What do you mean, should I learn from Pyll, or should I learn from Meryl?"

"Don't learn it, you can't learn it. To put it simply, your level is too low, you can't learn anything from them directly. Levy shook his head.

Meryl or Huppert are all top actors, although Levy is slightly dissatisfied with Meryl Streep's acting attitude of taking on too many scenes and not being able to fully enter the play, but he also has to admit that even if Meryl does not enter the play, she can also act very well with her outstanding external skills. Theron is different from them, she doesn't have much acting experience, and her performance skills are not a little worse than those characters, and if she wants to blindly copy the cat and the tiger, it will be difficult for herself.

"You should think more about how to act out your inner feelings. As a young actor, if your acting skills are not up to par, you must consider changing your expressiveness more through the investment of your inner feelings. As for imitation, you know Catherine Deneuve, right? Levy thought about it, since he has always been talking about European actors, then, this time, it is better to use European actors as an example, "That's what you're working towards." You're a model, and since your face is stiff, find a way to make your eyes learn to speak. Catherine Deneuve is also a well-known ice beauty, but her eyes are flexible, which makes up for her lack of acting skills. What you need to learn now is to make your eyes flexible. ”

Everyone's debut experience basically determines a person's development path. Jim Carrey's super flexible face is unique to comedians, and there are very few people who can speak with their faces and facial expressions, and ordinary actors can't learn it if they want to. And actors who are born in drama will naturally be superior to others in their grasp of lines, which is given to them by their performance experience, not due to talent, but from experience. And actors like Charlize Theron, who were born as models, are the most despised - the modeling career gives them good curves, and it is easy to become a vase, but the modeling life also makes their facial expressions and body movements too rigid, and it is extremely difficult to show good acting skills.

Since people have different backgrounds and experiences, they have to have different methods when acting. As Levi said, Sophie Marceau and others have been known as 'elf-fairy-like temperament' since their debut, and they have to rely on explosiveness to supplement their acting skills, and actors like Theron have to rely on the weakness revealed in their eyes and subtle expressions to supplement their acting skills.

The acting skills of the actors need to be based on their own situation, and an actor's performance, as long as you figure this out, it is much easier to do.

"My expression won't change?" After Theron listened to Levy's words, the first thing she noticed was the problem in his words, and Levy's assessment was the first thing she noticed.

"What do you think? You are too reserved, you can't let go of it when acting, even when you are in tears when you are acting, your face is still tense. I really don't understand, you haven't had plastic surgery, why your face is stiff as if you have been injected with Botox and won't move? Is it really that big about you that modeling life that your face has turned into a plaster? ”

"Hey!" Theron scolded, a little annoyed, and interrupted Levy, "It's not time to shoot, don't be so mean." ”

Levi nodded obediently, no longer silent, and Theron frowned, "Why can't I act well?" ”

"I told you, it's still a matter of your lack of experience. Although Deneuve is an ice beauty, at least she is hot inside, and through the camera, you can capture the enthusiasm in her eyes. But you can't, your heart is cold, you don't want to reveal your thoughts through your eyes, because that would damage your temperament - this is not a fashion show, you can't treat my camera as a group of spectators, and it won't do you any good to put on a shelf in front of me. Movies are different from runways, you have to have this concept. On the runway, you have to ignore them, but in the script, you have to blend in. ”

The biggest difference between movies and shows is here: all the performances of the actors in the movie are done for the sake of making the movie better, and sometimes, the actors need to let their skin loosen, let their muscles twitch, and even let themselves show their ugliest side. If an actor is still thinking about how to look beautiful when he is crying, insulting, and angry at these emotional changes, this actor will not want to make a good movie.

"Blend into the script? That's what you recommend to me? ”

"I just recommend you to do this in this play, you still have to practice acting skills in the future, acting is hardware, psychological feelings are software, hardware is not good, no matter how good the software is, it is in vain, now it is just a stopgap measure - these things, didn't your agent give you advice?"

"I'm getting ready for a change of broker." Theron also had some idea of what a good agent should do - Billy seemed to think about himself, but his methods simply didn't make him successful. From knowing him to the present, the advice he gave to himself was basically some unsuccessful advice, and such an agent could no longer be used.

Levy didn't have much for her decision, and he didn't know who Theron's agent was, and he couldn't afford to worry about an agent losing his job, "Since your agent can't do it, then I'll teach you first: remember, in the performance of the movie, you can try to bring some of your own emotions and feelings directly into the movie to show the emotions needed in the movie: I need you to show only your sadness and despair, not necessarily the thoughts of the characters in the movie." ”

"But it's hard to show pain, I've never been in pain or hopeless."

"Never? You grew up in a single-parent family, how did you feel when your father left? ”

Levy's words this time made Theron's face suddenly change drastically.

"How did you find out about my family?" Theron remembers very well that she had never mentioned these words, and she never wanted people to know about them, "How did you know about my parents?" ”
