Chapter 470: Solution
Frankly, Sean was depressed, very depressed, which has never happened before, and was called "cut" by the director because he performed too well.
"You shouldn't be like that, Christo, and you're saying that I'm doing a good job, but what you actually mean is that I'm not up to your mark." After the filming ended temporarily, Sean said to Christopher half-complainingly.
"No, no, Sean, I'm telling you," Christopher shook his head, "you're really good, and the feelings you express, whether it's Burton or Fallon, are very much in line with the image in my heart, so the problem is actually with me, and I should have told you more details." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Do you know the way, if you can, I really want you to continue acting like this, but ...... You know, I'm not God, and there's always something that I don't take into account. ”
Christopher spread his hand and smiled helplessly, it seemed that he should be telling the truth.
In this case, Sean also thought about it again: "Okay, then let's talk carefully about how to interpret this role." ”
At this end of the original easy days, Sean must begin to rethink how to express the contradictions of his character - it cannot be said to rethink, Christopher admits that the respective personalities of the twin brothers he shows, the key is how to merge parts of these two personalities together to form a situation where you have me and I have you.
It's not easy, it can even be said to be a little difficult, Sean has tried to make a character show two personalities, one on the surface, one in private, and has also tried to blend them together and convert freely. After all, he is already an actor with a lot of experience, and he has also experienced a lot of hardships, and ordinary roles are difficult for him, so he can press Scarlett to the point of forgetting his lines when he plays before.
But if you want to fuse some of them, some or two parts are completely different, and if you want to visualize it like a capital Y, it will take time and effort.
Fortunately, Christopher quickly adjusted and concentrated the scenes related to Fallon to shoot first, which were all carried out in the studio anyway, and the only distant location was in Colorado, but it was only Angel and Tesla's scenes, and it had nothing to do with Fallon and Burton.
"You've got plenty of time to get it through, don't worry, Sean." That's what Christopher said to him.
Indeed, this kind of thing is not rushed, and it is more useful to figure it out through the flamboyant Fallon first, Burton is already more restrained, as long as the emotions are slowly converged through the sequence of shooting, it is a natural thing to do.
But in this way, there are more times to play against Scarlett, and the young girl who has a grudge because of the previous scene tries her best to play herself every time she plays against each other, wanting to give Sean a good look.
Sean just shook his head in private about her violent reaction, it is not so easy to suppress the scene, in fact, this kind of thing is not common in Hollywood. The crew is a collective, everyone is a part of the group, and the power is in the hands of the producer or the director who is also the producer.
For producers, how to make money is the most important, and for directors, how to show their own style in the film is the most important thing. Therefore, maybe someone can teach a lesson to people who don't like it once or twice by pressing the scene or stealing the scene, but if there are too many times and it affects the shooting, then wait to be taught a lesson by the producer or director.
No one can break this rule unless one of the actors is also a producer or director, or has a good relationship with the producer or director – and even the latter, there are limits.
In this country known for its freedom, many times it is very unfree, and the place where you can do whatever you want only exists in the mind.
Moreover, the scene of pressing the other party also requires skill, and not every performance is domineering to make the other party feel at a loss. The simplest example, two years of the latest film version of The Merchant of Venice, although Al? Pacino's signature rant and exaggerated body language as usual when playing Charlotte, but in the role of the famous British actor Jeremy? Irons' bland but sharp performance did not achieve the previous effect, and in this respect, Irons can be regarded as holding down Pacino.
Well, aside, Sean didn't take Scarlett's challenge to heart, although she was still a little powerful. In the movie, Olivia and Fallon, one of the twins, were originally ****, and they were full of affection between talking and laughing, even at the beginning of contact.
In addition, Scarlett is now the best age, wearing Victorian-style clothes specially designed by the costume artist, she is quite sexy and charming, and if she shows a little **** posture, she will definitely make many men excited.
It's a pity that Sean is not among them, he never denies that he is **** and greedy, but he also knows when to do something, especially after firming up his path.
Therefore, Scarlett's flattering eyes in the performance were thrown to the blind man, no matter how affectionate Sean was to her in the camera, or how proud he was in front of the ****, as long as the director shouted to stop, he would immediately run to the monitor to discuss the situation with Christopher.
"It's nice here, you're starting to feel it, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but I'm sure of it." Christopher pointed to the screen and said to Sean.
It's been three weeks since filming started, and Fallon's role is already about the same, of course, it's not that there won't be anything after that, they are twins in the movie, and Sean is still acting alone. Therefore, even if Burton's scenes start later, there will still be some plots about Fallon, of course, this is just the right time for Sean to adjust and integrate.
"If you don't mind, maybe I can offer a little advice." A female voice rang out.
Christopher and Sean both turned their heads, and a girl with black hair and also dressed in Victorian costumes appeared in front of them. is not as beautiful as Scarlett, and can even be said to be only medium-sized, but the temperament is still very good.
"Tell me, Rebecca." The two exchanged glances, and Christopher nodded.
Is this called Rebecca? Hall's girl is from England, two years older than Scarlett, her father is a well-known British producer, she became famous in 02 with a TV series produced by her father, and then achieved certain success in the latest "All Happy", Shakespeare's famous stage play, so she won the role of Burton's wife Sarah in "Deadly Magic".
She came to the crew to report the day before yesterday, and it has only been three days now, and she has only played five scenes with Sean, the most important one is the scene where Burton, Fallon, Sarah, and Olivia gather together in the hotel - Sean plays Fallon who is dressed as Burton, and Burton, who is dressed as Fallon, is wearing a hat and a beard, so he only needs to find a stand-in with a similar body type.
She suddenly came over and said that she could provide a little advice, which would inevitably surprise people, and then become suspicious, but Sean and Christopher are not ordinary people, so just listen to her opinion first.
"I've heard that Sean is trying to figure out how to combine Burton and Fallon into one," she said, a little more cautiously, "maybe you can think about it...... A small act of common, they're twins after all, right? ”
Sean was stunned for a few seconds, and before Christopher, who was frowning, could make a statement, he suddenly slapped his face: "Hell, how did you forget this!" ”
You must know that when Sean first became an actor, he liked to design small details for the character to enhance the character's personality traits. But after that, as he starred in more and more movies, his acting skills continued to mature, especially the filming of "The Aviator", which made him see how top directors brought a small action and small details to the extreme, so this skill was gradually shelved by him.
But it turns out that any skill can work until you can master the acting, as long as the timing is right.
Just like now, since the characters are twins, then they will definitely have some degree of heart-to-heart connection, so there must be some details in life that they also have with each other. Then, through this, to mislead the audience, to make them think that this should actually be the same person, but the mind is a little split, but not exactly the same, isn't that perfect?
It's a pity that Sean naturally can't think of it for a while because he shelved this technique. As for Christopher, he had said before that he was not God and could not consider all the circumstances, so at this moment they remembered after being reminded by a girl.
"That's a great idea, Christo, it's a good idea!" Sean said it twice, then beckoned to the monitor.
"Did you think of anything?" Christopher immediately followed.
"yes, I came up with a great idea, remember the scene we filmed before, Burton and Angel were working together as assistants, laughing at the old magician backstage for his timidity?" Sean nodded as he walked.
Both of them looked in a hurry, completely oblivious to the fact that the girl who had come to remind them just now had been left to the side, standing there blinking a little dazedly.
"Look, here, I remember you said that he should be Burton at this time, right?" After having some of the footage taken before, Sean pointed to the screen and asked Christopher.
The character played by Sean in the picture is saying something loudly with open arms, with a contemptuous look on his face, a little exaggerated, if he really wants to say it, he should be more like Fallon.
"Yes, then?" Christopher nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Look here," Sean froze, then pointed to one of his own hands on the screen, "like snapping his fingers, right?" ”
"You're saying that with this action that has already been filmed, set as the common denominator of the twins?" Christopher immediately asked.
"Yes, this picture makes Burton look more like Fallon, in that case, why not take advantage of it?" Sean said with some excitement.
"You can think about it," Christopher nodded and shook his head, "but, don't you feel a little frivolous to always snap your fingers?" ”
Sean touched his chin, "So what do you mean?" ”
