For the next two days, the crew repeatedly filmed this scene in the chartered restaurant, this rivalry between Sean and Pacino. The filming was very slow, and Christopher, as the director, either watched the filming without saying a word, or stopped for more than ten minutes from time to time to discuss the next precautions with them in detail.

In short, during the two days, they tried many shooting methods, such as Sean's small movements or body language more, and Pacino only used words and expressions to perform, or reversed. There are even two people who only use words and expressions, without any small movements, and pay attention to small actions and use few expressions.

"You're wasting your time." Warner's producer Hillary? Seitz couldn't help but whisper to Christopher with a reminder.

"Don't worry, it won't delay the progress." Christopher didn't care, since he would make such a request, he was sure that he would not delay.

His previous request to Sean and Pacino was to try as many performances as possible, specifically the combination of various performance styles mentioned earlier.

"Robin and Al have had several rivalry scenes before, but that is one style, a more intense confrontation, and you have another style here, with contradictions that are not revealed, and I hope to use different styles to reflect more of the complexity of human nature." That's what Christopher said at the time.

Pacino hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but Sean agreed in one bite, and if you want to exemplify Christopher's style, the depiction of unpredictable human nature must be one of them. Human nature is always complex, and no one can figure out the laws of human nature, and Christopher is happy to show this in film, so his work seems to have depth.

Judging from Christopher's requirements, although the script did not meet his requirements, he still tried his best to show his own style in the shooting, especially the psychological conflict designed for the old policeman Will, which is very distinctive. Therefore, since he has such a request, Sean is happy to help, and by the way, he can also hone his acting skills.

It's not a joke, although Harp is only a supporting role, and he doesn't have much room to play, and he was killed by Will soon after he appeared, but if you don't want to mix up this scene in the restaurant, if you want to perform well, you still need some effort.

The previous "Death Illusion" and "Sniper Phone Booth" allowed Sean to try a flamboyant, outgoing performance, especially the latter, which used his personal skills to the fullest, so now try to re-try restrained acting.

From last year to now, he has successively taken on several movies, which seem messy, but in fact they all have a purpose. Some are optimistic about the box office and word of mouth, some are to expand their networks and relationships, and some are big productions that Frederick is obsessed with, but most of them are to hone their acting skills.

Sean needs to have his own acting style, and any well-known and widely known star has his own acting style, whether it is good or bad. Even if he won the Best Actor last year, he is called Kevin, who has countless personalities and can change everything? Spacey, this change is also one of the performance styles.

Without a strong performance style of your own, it is difficult for people to remember.

It may sound a bit contradictory, on the one hand, to blend in with the characters so that the audience can't see that they are performing, and on the other hand, to have a strong performance style, so that the audience can recognize themselves at a glance, these are completely two directions. However, it is precisely because of this that there are so few real palace-level actors, who can deal with this contradiction almost perfectly and achieve a certain balance, can be qualified to climb to the highest peak.

Sean can't think that far now, the most important thing for him at present is to hone his acting skills and summarize his own style first. From this point of view, I am really lucky to get the actor of "The Genius Ripley", because there are both introverted places and outward plots in this movie, and the weight is about the same, so he will not be biased to one side at the beginning, and then try and accumulate as much as possible.

And Hap in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was a surprise, at first he just wanted to have a relationship with the Nolan brothers and his wife, but he didn't expect that this simple supporting role could also be played, and it was also a restrained performance method that was needed. At the same time, there are not many, just such a place, he can be carefully carved, even if the effect is not good after the editing is released, it doesn't matter, and by the way, he can also leave a good impression on Christopher, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone.

In addition, you can also communicate with Pacino, although he is old, as one of the representatives of method acting, that rich experience is still worth listening to.

And Pacino is also willing to share his experience with Sean, especially after knowing his real age, he is surprised and more interested.

"I really didn't expect that you were only 21 years old, and suddenly you felt old." Pacino said with emotion.

This is a very good compliment, so Sean quickly continued: "I still need to keep honing, and the guidance of a treasure-level veteran actor like you, your experience is unparalleled." ”

"Actually, I didn't say anything, sometimes personal experience is ten times more effective than reading books or TV and figuring it out on my own, after I received this role, I deliberately asked my assistant to contact the police station, talked to several police officers with good reputations, and asked them how this situation would be like, etc., before the film started, you must be well prepared." When it comes to his acting experience, he immediately becomes a little excited and quite proud.

Well, their generation of methodist actors is very good at experiencing life, like Robert, who is the same name as him? De Niro, who found time to work as a taxi driver and boxer while filming "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull". When Pacino starred in "Smell a Woman" when he won Best Actor, he also tried the life of a blind man blindfolded, and they gave a lot more experience than other actors, so they are entitled to be proud and proud.

"It's true that when I was on the set of 'Boys Don't Cry,' I had to cut my hair short and dress as a man all day, and I also stuffed thick socks in my pants to feel it, and it turned out to be really useful." Next to her sat the heroine of the film, Hillary, who won the Oscar for Best Actress two years ago? Swank then followed.

"It's really important to experience life, and although I didn't go to the police station to investigate in person like Al, I found a consultant through my agent before I came, and I learned what actors should pay attention to when playing a police officer, and practiced at home for a few days, hoping to behave well when the time comes." Sean continued.

"Speaking of which, the plot of the restaurant section touched me deeply, and I couldn't help but think of some things in middle school. At that time, we liked to play pranks at school, like in "Smell a Woman", but not so badly. But one time it still crossed the line and caused a bad impact, so the school conducted a stern investigation, and then a classmate who had a good relationship with me couldn't resist the pressure and made a deal with the school. I could understand his feelings, but I couldn't accept his approach, and when I performed that scene, I couldn't help but recall that he still had that unavoidable appearance at that time, so ......" He didn't finish, just shrugged his shoulders.

After a few more seconds, Sean sighed: "It's a pity that it wasn't me who did that after all, so I also have a superficial understanding of his feelings, but I have a deeper understanding of Al's character." ”

"So why don't you shoot it again tomorrow, and then we swap roles?" Pacino said immediately, and then a few laughs.

"You've done a great job, Sean, and you've surprised me greatly." Christopher, who was sitting on the other side, immediately said, "Although you can't fully express the emotions in your heart, you do a good job compared to a young actor of this age." ”

"Don't listen to him, Sean, you've done a perfect job, everyone thinks so, Christo is just subconsciously picky." Emma? Thomas immediately interjected, "He's a perfectionist in a way. ”

"Do I look like a perfectionist?" Christopher asked rhetorically.

"If Jonathan is here, he'll definitely agree with me." Emma smiled.

"I have to agree, right?" Christopher said teasingly.

Looking at the way the couple argued, whether it was Pacino, Hillary, or Sean, they couldn't help but laugh.

It took two more days and a lot of energy to give the restaurant and crew a little more time to rest, because the scenes here are basically completed, and the rest of the parts, such as the police station scenes and the seaside scenes, have to go to British Columbia, Canada.

British Columbia links Alaska and Washington State, as the westernmost province of Canada, in terms of living environment alone, there is not much difference from Alaska, so the pictures that can be filmed in Alaska can also be filmed in British Columbia, plus a series of Canadian film reduction policies, it is normal for the crew to make this choice.

So after dinner, Sean and Pacino sat down with Mr. and Mrs. Nolan to chat, and then Hillary? Swank also joined, as the heroine or quasi-heroine of the film - after all, the movie is a confrontation between two old men - although she was resting for the past two days, she did not leave the crew, and there was a shot of her to shoot soon, so I took this opportunity to chat with them.

And she seems to be very interested in Sean, she has also watched the filming in the past two days, Sean took the initiative to join the crew, and the relationship with Christopher has also been heard of to some extent, Christopher's appreciation of Sean in the past two days, and the people around her are also looking at it, in this case, she naturally wants to talk to him.

However, Sean is not sensitive, Hillary is not the type he likes, although he is more temperamental and female, and is not particularly harsh on appearance, but Hillary's face line is too hard, almost similar to that of men. Although Kate's facial line is also a little hard, it is not to this extent, no wonder Hillary will play "Boys Don't Cry" and win an award for it, so ...... Just chatting.
