Chapter 97: No good
(2nd Update)
In early December, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards revealed the mystery.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay all belong to "Drug Network," and Steven Soderbergh nearly swept the critics in New York, and it seems that these dizzy penmen are so bewitched by Soderbergh's witchcraft that they are eager to give him all the awards.
If it weren't for the personal style of the older Oscar winner Michael Douglas, it was too problematic, and his performance this time was really unsatisfactory, and "Drug Network" had no female roles at all - Catherine Zeta-Jones just won the European Film Festival actress, but this time, the table is not outstanding compared to others.
These may be the reasons why "Drug Network" did not win all the awards in the end.
Even the local media have slammed the New York Film Critics Association's 30-odd members for lacking a clear-headed membership, but in any case, the New York Film Critics Association's personality has made a decision, and the annual awards season began with a big win for "Drug Network."
"If Tom Hanks was not hacked, it was the fair treatment that Tom had guessed for years in Hollywood, then Daniel Sandler killed Beniso, which doesn't seem to be an upset, but look at the treatment "Drug Network" received, you know how amazing Daniel is to impress these die-hard film critics by himself."
Yes, Tom Hanks won Best Actor at the New York Film Critics Association for "Desert Island," and Daniel Sandler won Best Supporting Actor.
Daniel, in particular, looks like he snatched a trophy from Beniso from "Drug Network".
Beniso's performance is highly recognized, and no one who takes it will be considered a black-box operation.
The global PR strategy has been very successful.
Daniel was in Paris when he got the news, they were filming an in-car scene, it was late, everyone wanted to finish the filming quickly, otherwise the reset, residual snow and water would need to be relocated, which was very troublesome and a waste of time.
But that's not the case.
Daniel had his first big problem since the start of filming, and Doug Liman was still not satisfied after filming Gojo, so he shouted to stop and walked over to Daniel to talk about the scene.
Jason Byrne had just killed a former colleague - technically, the deceased was suicidal, and Mary Cruze, who had found the wanted material in the package of the visitor, was almost insane, what happened to them yesterday in the ambassador in Zurich, in just one day, she was investigated to the bottom of the sky, and the other party had even sent "killers" to capture or kill them outright, such an unbelievable ability meant that they were standing opposite a powerful and terrifying opponent.
At this time, sitting outside the apartment, in Mary's broken car, Bourne asked Mary to go to the police station.
On the one hand, it can avoid being killed by the follow-up assassins of unknown forces, and on the other hand, it can also cut off the relationship with the troublesome Byrne and get out of this matter.
An argument broke out in the car.
It was in this passage that Doug Liman and Daniel Sandler could not find a common denominator.
Daniel's way of expressing himself at the beginning is deep and complex, because his mood itself is complex at the moment, the double unknown of the past and the future, the repeated excitement of the arrival and death of the assassin, the urgency of survival and the urgent need to escape, etc., all of which are mixed together, and he also considers the safety of Mary, who is involved in him with money.
His chaotic and busy complex heart is indeed very good for Daniel.
But Doug Liman's response was "Nogood." ”
To be honest, there were too many people on the set who were even more surprised than Daniel himself, many of them had heard that Daniel was a talented actor, and even some rumors said that Daniel was a "one-off" professional who never NG, which of course could not be. However, during the filming of "Spy Shadows", Daniel did not encounter any major problems, even if it was a fierce fight in the embassy and apartment, he was also familiar with it.
Doug Liman didn't say anything, just asked Daniel to think about it and restarted filming.
Daniel knew what Doug meant, which meant he couldn't tell him what was wrong, but the director's instincts and feelings told him that the performance was not good and couldn't fit into the movie.
He guessed that maybe the performance just now was too restrained, and he still had some performance methods with the characteristics of art films, or simply the pent-up enthusiasm for acting burst out at once, but it was misplaced.
So, the second time, he was a little more outward, and his facial expressions and movements were larger, and some emotions were also shown intuitively through expressions, tones and movements.
But Doug Liman's answer is "Nogood."
And there is still no guidance.
Daniel had to re-enter the third shoot, this time trying to do it from Mary's point of view, because at the moment it was guided by her mental changes, and Doug may have found the coordination unconvincing.
His conjecture was dismissed when Doug shook his head.
At this moment, he felt that he had nothing to do.
Doug Liman still has no intention of coming up to talk to him, it's normal for some directors to have their own quirks, in order to capture the most realistic scenes, they don't tell you anything, they let you continue to play freely, his camera is pointed at you, and then look, if there is something that works, you can continue.
So Daniel couldn't rush over to ask him.
Introverted, outward, and following Mary's love will not solve the problem.
Then we have to go back to Jason Byrne himself.
Sitting in the car and thinking about it for a while, Franca was quiet, in order not to disturb him, so many times, she has always been very cooperative. Daniel leaked a little apology to her, only to be almost amused by her playful grimace.
He motioned to Doug Liman to try again.
This time, he decides to comply more significantly with Byrne's plot in this story, he is very capable, but forgets the past, and killing should not be that for him
Daniel tries to use a purely experiential approach.
Nogood!
All the staff looked at Doug, who shook his head stubbornly, and everyone felt like they could hear a sigh of regret.
Isn't it okay to perform at this level?
It's just an action commercial movie, do you want to win an Oscar?
Daniel didn't take another half an hour to think about it, though, and he directly asked to start again.
His first performance may have gone too far, and the so-called overexertion was like that, and then he went into the misconception that he had to change direction.
Daniel guessed that what he had to do was to retract a little, not turn a hundred and eighty degrees.
When the performance was over, Doug didn't shout "yes", but this time he walked over and whispered to Daniel.
On the side of the set, Andy was holding his mobile phone, his expression was a little unnatural, as if he wanted to come in to find Daniel, but five in a row, apparently stopped him, and there was nothing more important than filming this one.
Doug leaned against the window.
"Daniel, if the fifth is the second time, I will approve of it, but don't you think that your performance should be better with the few attempts you made just now?"
Daniel took a breath and was silent for almost five minutes before nodding his head and preparing to move on to the sixth shoot.
Introverted and outward, expression and experience, tension and control - these propositions are all in this performance.
“…… I don't know what's going on? I don't know who that guy is, where the photo came from, I don't even know who I am! ”
As Daniel finished reading the paragraph, Doug smiled and applauded.
All the staff cheered sincerely.
Leaving Andy standing on the side, Doug called out to her in a good mood, "If you don't do it again, Andy will rush up and smash my machine." ”
Daniel exhaled several times before asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Andy glanced at Franka and Doug, probably thinking that the news was not a secret, and said it without hesitation.
"Kusa's call, the New York Film Critics Association has just announced the winners, and you won Best Supporting Actor! Congratulations. ”
"Wow."
Both Doug and Franka exclaimed in amazement.
"That's great news, congratulations, Daniel." Doug glanced at Andy, "But Andy's mood just now must have been more complicated." ”
"yes, I almost suffocated." Andy shook his phone.
"Daniel has a treat."
Franke quickly began the extortion operation, and Daniel certainly didn't skimp.
After finishing work, he paid for the field staff to buy coffee for the staff, and several main creators were invited to have a French dinner.
So, the whole crew knew that Daniel had just won the first heavyweight award of his career - although not as dazzling as the Golden Globes and Oscars, the New York Film Critics Circle Award was also a worthy award.
Julia Stiles, who plays Nicky, is an energetic little girl and her first supporting role in a big production Zuò.
"It looks like you're going to sweep the awards season." Julia said enviously.
Daniel is clearly sober enough.
New York is different, and the global PR resources are tilted a lot towards it, so this is the result. Among the five major film critics association awards, Los Angeles has only rated one best film so far, "Gladiator" has hope, but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Drug Network" have been highly praised, so there is not much hope, and the other awards have their own characteristics, and performance does not necessarily occupy that much weight in these various awards.
At the end of the day, what Daniel can expect now is the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and later the Golden Globes and Oscars.
As Julia said, the sweep is probably just a fantasy.
