Chapter 341: Full Integration
"Frankly, if I had known that Martin would have chosen you, I would have found a way to compete." Jude, who was sitting at the small round table, dressed in an evening gown and with two mustaches on his upper lip, said to Sean with a smile.
"Oh? I have so much charm that I can attract you and make you want to compete for the role? Sean asked, half-jokingly.
"Wait, what do you mean by being incompetent, you guy!" Jude immediately interrupted dissatisfied.
"Isn't it, you're an Englishman, but you're here to play the idol of the Americans." Sean said in a tone of course.
"Hey, you're already discriminating!" Jude screamed and made a gesture to fight, while Sean laughed and dodged.
It can be seen from here that they can basically be regarded as very good friends, although they are not as close as a few close friends, but they are beyond the ordinary level, and only friends who have a good relationship can joke so unscrupulously.
"Is this Martin? Scorsese's film, I have wanted to work with him for a long time, so, although it is a small role, I readily agreed. After a bit of trouble, Jude then talked about himself.
"So, you're just jealous?" Sean then said seriously.
"Jealousy? Of course, I'm jealous to death, and I bet anyone who has seen Howard? Hughes's life, the right actor, will want to try! Jude said seriously.
In this case, Sean couldn't continue to tease, and began to say nice things: "This is not a small role, Jude, Errol?" Flynn was the most famous actor in Hollywood's Golden Age - and of course, the worst of all. ”
"I know, so wait and see, watch out for me snatching your beloved Kate." Jude Haha laughed, giving him a vicious look.
Although he knew that he was talking about the plot, Sean still inevitably subconsciously changed color slightly, Flynn, as a womanizer, naturally missed Hepburn, but unfortunately the latter didn't give him a good look. And Scorsese asked Jude to come over to play Flynn, and it was precisely to show this story, so next Sean had to play with Jude and Kate, after all, everyone had worked together in "Talented Ripley" before, although Jude and Kate did not have a direct rivalry, but who knows if it will be seen something?
It's not that Sean is all at stake, it's about Kate's reputation, and he has to make sure that she won't be affected. Of course, the best way is not to compete for this role at the beginning, but how can he hold it, so he can only be as careful as possible.
"Gentlemen, what are you talking about?" Kate who was already dressed up came at this time, wearing a beige evening dress, with big curls in her hair, very much like an actress from decades ago, but she rubbed too much lipstick.
"You look so charming, Kate." Jude said in an exaggerated tone, then took Kate's hand and kissed it on the lips.
Sean, who saw it in his eyes, couldn't help but cover his forehead and shook his head gently.
"Put away your set, it's not time for you to perform, Jude," Kate said quietly, "or you want to be as infamous as Flynn." ”
"How come, but if you want to say that it has a bad reputation, I'm afraid it's not my turn." Jude Haha smiled and glanced at Sean.
"What do you think, Sean?" Kate then turned to him, smiling, looking no different from meeting and laughing with old friends, only Sean could notice, occasionally flashing between her brows.
"Not too soon, Jude, because you're going to be like that in the future." Sean's mood suddenly improved, since Kate was generous, what was she worried about?
Sometimes, the more you cover up, the easier it is to be seen through, so it's better to be generous. Besides, as an actor who has been praised for his acting skills, and he has encountered the role of haode, it takes a lot of time and energy just to integrate into it and show it, and then pay attention to these, isn't it obvious to tell others that there is a problem? Anyway, as long as you integrate into the role, or give people a feeling of integration, you accidentally cross the line, and you can also blame it for being too involved in the play.
Sean really feels that he and Hughes are compatible, at least in terms of treating feelings, even if there is someone he likes, he still can't help but **** everywhere.
Catherine in the script? Hepburn has a saying that it is impossible for a man to be friends with women, either not to touch them, or to have them, hunt the flesh, kill the flesh, eat the flesh, and the male is like that. It sounds rather harsh, but in a sense, it's true. So in the playboy section, Sean was praised by Scorsese for his free play, and then used this as a fitting point to integrate himself into Hughes step by step, so now the obsessive-compulsive disorder in these shots is also very well performed.
As mentioned earlier, Flynn is a notorious guy, and although he is a smash hit, not many people like him. Hooking up with women, acting arbitrarily, without any regard for other people's feelings. In the passages to be filmed, he didn't care that he and Hughes were just new acquaintances, and began to hook up and even eat his beans.
However, Hughes has a serious cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if there are beans on the plate, he must arrange them according to their size, and then start with the smallest and eat them one by one.
If the order was wrong, or if someone interfered, he would be very upset, so Flynn acted in a big taboo. But this is in public, and the other party is also a celebrity in Hollywood, and he has a bad seizure, and he is very entangled for a while, and the difficulty of this scene lies in how to show this entanglement just right.
Whether it's too much or too little, it can feel like Hughes is making a big fuss, or pretending, and Sean made that mistake in the first place, so much so that he NG several times.
"I want you to feel disgusted from the bottom of your heart, like you are hating the person who took away your favorite things. But you can't show it clearly, because you're a big person, and you can't make yourself look stupid. So your heart is complex, it's contradictory, it's the exact opposite. That's what Scorsese said.
But this is no different from saying nothing, what the character's mental activity is, as long as you have done a detailed analysis, you should understand. It's just that if you want to show it, if you want to show it perfectly, it's difficult, people are different, how Hughes behaved at the beginning, how Sean thinks it should behave, and how Scorsese thinks it should behave are all different.
So Sean said to Scorsese, "Please give me time." ”
Yes, it takes enough time to figure out the complete intersection between two sets.
Sean didn't just keep running in with Scorsese through acting, he was always thinking about fitting in, trying to find and get closer to that feeling.
Then, he found it.
"Action" The camera begins to spin as the theater assistant speaks.
Flynn, played by Jude, then got up with a grin, reached out and took a bean from the plate in front of Sean, and said nonchalantly: "Hey, Howard, if you're going to talk about the moon on screen, you must give me a seat." ”
Sean blinked, as if he didn't react, and the action suddenly made the people watching outside the set frown. This is what Sean used when he first started filming, wanting to express Hughes's consternation and brew enough anger.
But at that time, Scorsese stopped at the first time, because he was not strong enough to show the mentality of an obsessive-compulsive person, and at this time he still used this method, not worried about being stopped again?
The accident happened again, just like the playboy scene at the beginning, although Scorsese also frowned, but did not stop. Sure enough, in the next second, Sean's hand holding the cutlery let go, and it landed on the plate with a soft clang.
Immediately, many people showed a sudden look, and everyone who could see it knew what it meant, and people's instinctive reactions were always the fastest. It's like when you get out of the store and you look up and a truck is speeding towards you, and sometimes you roll on the ground a few laps and dodge before you know what's going on.
I have to say that this action is very in place, perfectly embodying the taste of obsessive-compulsive disorder that goes deep into the bone marrow, and then the eyes immediately turn into shock and disgust, which is quite convincing. But he was still expressionless, and although he quickly picked up the cutlery, he lifted and put it down, and lifted and put it down, but never put it on the plate again.
The magnitude of this action is very small, very small, and under normal circumstances, the person sitting at the table will not be able to detect it unless he looks closely.
Then, his hand holding the knife and fork was so tight that he trembled slightly, his throat twitched slightly, and he took a few distinctly deep breaths, but there was no expression on his face.
“Good!” Scorsese finally called out, affirming as he had done before.
When the people on the set heard this voice, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed and clapped their hands in celebration, but Sean sat in the chair and didn't move, his expression was also a little dazed, and he didn't seem to be in the role.
"Sean?" Kate was the first to call out in a concerned tone.
Then Jude also noticed his problem and reached out to grab his shoulder: "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Sean finally looked up and squeezed out a smile, "It's just a little dazed, and it will be haode when you take a break." ”
"Are you really okay?" Scorsese also walked over at this time.
"It's okay, Martin, it's okay." Sean raised his hands and stood up, and then couldn't wait to ask, "How was the shot just now?" ”
"Very good, very good, I really didn't expect you to get to this point, every move is very compatible." Scorsese did not hesitate to praise himself, and then asked curiously: "How did you do it?" ”
"Fully integrated, Martin, totally and completely integrated." Sean smiled and gestured, then sighed inwardly.
Fully integrated? Of course, because ...... In a sense, he also suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder for quite some time.
