Chapter 217: Drama is like life

“Cut!” Wang Yang frowned dissatisfiedly and shouted loudly: "Tom, don't you just be sad, okay, come to some feelings, come to some helplessness, Come-on!" Again! ”

"OK, sorry, I'll pay attention!" Tom Cruise waved apologetically.

This is a cemetery near Hollywood, built on a gentle hillside. The pine and cypress, the maple trees stand proudly, and the fiery red maple leaves fall with the wind, spreading on the green grass, and the scenery is pleasant. The filming location of "Ghost Love" is set here, filming a set of footage of Sam being shot and buried after being shot by robbers. The cemetery priest was hired by the crew and was melodicly reciting a hymn of prayer.

Yang Lin never thought that Tom Cruise's acting skills would be problematic, but reality told him that the problem was Tom Cruise.

This guy doesn't know how to do it, and he always doesn't have a good grasp of Sam's psychology, such as this scene. Sam faced his funeral, that sadness mixed with a helpless look, but Tom Cruise always did not do well, either acting too much and becoming a little hysterical, or not reaching the point and looking a little indifferent.

This can't be done, Brother Tom! Could it be that you're still just an idol? Cool and handsome and radiant, as long as it comes to such a scene that requires the expression of emotions through facial and physical expressions, it will make a mess.

Yang Lin shook his head and looked back, the reflector recorders were already in place, so he waved his hand. A Chinese field reporter held a clapper in his hand and shouted, "The first set of shots of the cemetery, the seventeenth time." Aikesh! ”

Pan Hengsheng's fat belly just moved slowly and steadily. The camera moves from far and near, against the maple leaf-covered meadow. Little by little, the crowd of people attending the funeral was approached. Then Tom Cruise's Sam appears on the side of the camera, at which point the camera slowly turns, capturing Tom Cruise to the center of the camera, and then slowly moving backwards, bringing the rest of the people into the camera lens.

"On this occasion of farewell to my friend Samwhitt, let us remember his kindness, generosity, and optimism. This is something we hold dear."

The pastor's muffled song drifted in the meadow among the trees, and Sam slowly walked towards his mournful and weeping fiancée, Molly.

“Cut! It's over! Yang Lin shouted, and the entire crew suddenly let out a long breath. Tom Cruise's face was reddish. said loudly: "I'm sorry, I've caused everyone to shoot so many times, and I'm in for a treat tonight!" The crew all let out a burst of cheers. Tom Cruise came to Yang Lin's side a little cramped, rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Yang." It's always bad to shoot. I'll try. ”

Tom Cruise is very embarrassed, you must know that he is the biggest name in the crew, and he can be regarded as a popular star in Hollywood. Although Zhong Chuhong is very beautiful, he is just a Hong Kong actor, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all; Brad Pitt, not to mention, was a waiter a few days ago and is not at all comparable. But it's always themselves who have problems, which seriously slows down the filming progress of the crew. This made Tom Cruise extremely depressed and felt a little embarrassed. Because his salary is probably worth the entire crew except Whoopi Goldenberg combined.

Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder, pulled him to sit on the flat green grass, handed him a cigarette, and the two of them swallowed the clouds and smoked together.

"Ghost Love" has been filming for more than half a month, and the people transferred from Hong Kong finally have a little tacit understanding with the staff here at "DreamWorks". That's right, it's "DreamWorks", and Yang Lin changed the name to this after acquiring the "Paradise" film company. Anyway, it will take many years for the "Dream Factory" to be born in history, so Yang Lin will use it. A person like him who has become a habit of "plagiarism" is already full of bad taste, and sometimes it is no longer a question of whether he likes it or not, or whether he needs it or not, but as long as it is by someone, he wants to take it.

Yang Lin is sometimes embarrassed and invincible about his shamelessness, but he still enjoys it and thinks it's more interesting.

The investment of "Industrial Light and Magic" is still in progress, and Yang Lin asked Kidd to hire a team of lawyers to operate it with full authority, striving to make all procedures foolproof and leave no loopholes, because he knew that in a few years, "Industrial Light and Magic" would be famous and its value would roll up.

Guo Huajian's three enthusiastic boys who were fooled by Yang Lin also joined the "Industrial Light and Magic", became a member of the design team, and entered the core team of "Industrial Light and Magic". Yang Lin believes that if there are any unpredictable changes in the future, these three people will be the team that reorganized his computer special effects company.

Now, the biggest headache for him is Tom Cruise's performance. Obviously, the current Tom Cruise is far from reaching the realm of the all-powerful "Tom Brother" in the future.

"I'm confident that your achievements won't be lower than those of Hollywood's biggest names, and the Oscars won't be your end." Yang Lin first gave Tom Cruise a big boost to strengthen his self-confidence. Then he said: "But you can't compare with them now, let alone get an Oscar, you know, no one can get an Oscar by being handsome, and Marlon Brando can't do it." ”

One sentence made Tom Cruise's face red and ashamed.

Yang Lin found that Tom Cruise's biggest problem was that he was always pretending to be cool and handsome, no matter what kind of action, he subconsciously had to think about how to show his most handsome side, and ignore the performance itself.

"It's useless to be handsome, sometimes handsome will ruin you. When you put this habit into your soul, your image is already fixed, and that is the 'idol'. 'Idol faction' is not a good thing, once you become an 'idol faction', your acting path has been fixed, and some roles will not be able to be played. The "idol faction" can make you quickly accepted by those young people, and your popularity will rise quickly, but it doesn't stop there. ”

Tom Cruise listened very carefully, and he found Yang Lin as a director very strange. When he tells you about the play, he never tells you exactly what to do with the action or expression, but explains the mistakes you made from a psychological point of view. Tom Cruise has to admit that he has benefited a lot from such conversations, because almost every conversation, he has a deeper understanding of the movie. And every time he has such a harvest, he is very excited, and Yang Lin's gratitude is indescribable, and he likes this kind of conversation more and more.

This young director rarely gets angry, he just looks at you with such a smile, you can feel his bright eyes full of appreciation, and when you are wrong, you are anxious, ashamed, and just want to express yourself better and get his appreciation.

It's amazing, and Tom Cruise doesn't know why he's feeling the way he does. Tom Cruise is a very smart person, and he also has his own understanding of movies, just look at the acting skills of the rookie Brad Pitt, and you will know how much the director Yang Lin has helped the actor's acting skills.

Zhong Chuhong's clothes have not changed, and a black women's suit is light and beautiful. Holding two cans of drinks, he smiled and handed them to Yang Lin and Tom Cruise, sat down beside Yang Lin, and gently snuggled up to him.

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "Thank you." He likes Zhong Chuhong, an oriental woman, very much. There is the exquisite beauty unique to Oriental women, and the hearty atmosphere of Western women, this is a perfect work of God, Tom Cruise looked at Yang Lin with envy, thinking that these two people are really a perfect pair.

Yang Lin's act of snuffing out the cigarette butt and putting it in his pocket made Tom Cruise feel even more favorable. He is a person with a habit of cleanliness, a habit of cleanliness for himself, and a habit for the environment.

Yang Lin opened the drink and took a sip and looked at Tom Cruise: "When I was in Hong Kong before, I once told a story to an actor, I think you should listen to it, and you will definitely have an insight." ”

Tom Cruise and Zhong Chuhong both looked at Yang Lin, curious about what kind of story he was going to tell.

Yang Lin's eyes seemed to be the delicate Huang Rong again, and he didn't know how Weng Meiling was now?

"I once met a director who asked a question when he was choosing the heroine in a play, and when faced with the last two candidates. Then the two actresses each answered, and the director left one of them. After the movie was released, the actor who was left to play the heroine soared into the sky, became purple, and eventually became a very successful big star. ”

Seeing that he stopped, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help asking, "What did the director ask?" What did the two actresses answer? ”

"The director asked them, what is acting? How can I act well? The actress who finally stayed, replied: Life is like a play, drama is like life, and only by forgetting yourself can you act well. ”

Life is like a play, drama is like life, forget yourself to act well?

"What's the answer of that eliminated actress?" Zhong Chuhong asked again.

"Hehe," Yang Lin remembered the picture of Weng Meiling chasing after him to ask this question, he smiled and said: "There are 10,000 wrong answers, but there is only one correct answer." You just need to know the right one, and ask what the wrong ones do? After saying that, Yang Lin got up and patted the grass clippings on his buttocks and left.

Zhong Chuhong and Tom Cruise glanced at each other, and they both fell into deep thought.

Life is like a play, and drama is like life.

What is Life? What's the play again? As long as he is alive, that person is not acting? Do you know that the drama is not your life?

Life is a play, and drama is life. (To be continued......)
