Chapter 22: Stealing the Teacher and Stealing the Matter (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

"Oh, Roland, your performance is really amazing." When Roland finished with a stride and retracted the underbeaten look, Director Zemeckis, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his forehead.

Without waiting for him to continue to give an evaluation, Michael J. Fox, who had nowhere to put his mouth on his cigarette from beginning to end, knocked on the table with his cigarette butt, gasped, forced a smile, and asked curiously: "Roland, what kind of dance are you?" Is it a spin-off of Breaking? Or is it an adaptation of Popping? How come I've never seen one? ”

"Because there are no prescribed movements for this dance." Roland smiled and said, "I can't jump out of the same twice." ”

"You're improvising?"

Hearing Roland say this, everyone present showed an expression of sudden realization.

If it's improvisation, then everything can be explained.

Because, if they were to rate Roland, they would ...... There's really no way to start.

There is no other reason, all blame Roland for the performance, too ...... Discord is gone.

Singing and bouncing, all three are not in harmony.

In fact, when Roland was learning guitar, he had already discovered that the song "Come and get your love" was not suitable for him at all, because the smoky voice of the lead singer of Red Bones was not what he could have now.

Smoke is a high vocal technique, which is made by vibrating the vocal cords during vocalization, and then amplifying through the resonance cavity, so that the otherwise perfect middle vocal area has a metallic texture.

This kind of technique is generally mastered after the end of the voice change period, and even if Roland wants to learn it, the group of people who play the band will not teach it.

However, even if he can't learn, Roland doesn't care.

Singing this thing,It's an incidental thing.,The music played by the guitar is just his BGM.,What he really wants to show these bigwigs is that ghost-like dance.。

It's a pity that except for the opening movements, the subsequent dance steps are all pondered and studied by himself.

Who made Star-Lord not even finish a tune himself?

Even if he is hairy and can do things that Sal can't do, he can't bring over a non-existent thing.

Of course, even if he researches and ponders by himself, Roland is not as messy as the awkward dance in the rain in "Top of the Forbidden City".

His requirements are not high, as long as the action can be hilarious, can show the contrast of the person who is small and old-fashioned, and the coquettish feeling that exudes from the inside out, it is enough!

After all, the dull filming life is already grinding enough, so what's the point of singing and relaxing?

As long as these directors and actors are happy to watch and are willing to talk to themselves, then why can't he be a comedian?

After the awkward dance, a simple conversation, as Roland 'fell into the house', Zemeckis and others also had a good impression of this very open child, so in the next half hour, Roland also struck while the iron was hot and asked them some questions.

For example, in the scene filmed today, when Martin and Maggie met in "Back to the Future 3", how Fox, who played Martin, did not let his character become face-painted when he stared at him in surprise; how Martin and McFly at dinner show both awkwardness and composure at the same time; When Maggie reprimanded Martin, why did Zemeckis use the camera to capture Maggie and Martin's reactions, and at the same time, why didn't he give Martin a close-up, but instead let him appear in the form of his back.

"Staring at surprise but not facial?"

"It's actually a very simple question."

Facing Roland, who was open and studious, Fox took out a palm-sized notepad from his coat pocket and flipped through it casually in front of Roland, "This is actually a problem of substituting oneself, as long as you don't have the idea of acting to act, then there will be no problem of facial makeup, after all, everyone has their own characteristics, after you have a surprised expression in reality, will others think that you are imitating others?" No, it won't. ”

"As for the embarrassment and feigned composure you mention, that's actually a problem."

"Do you feel embarrassed like you just bounced?"

"If you feel embarrassed, but you want to finish the performance, you naturally have to pretend to be calm."

"Find a suitable scene to replace, and you will find that those seemingly unpredictable psychology are all in reality."

Fox just regarded Roland as a child who was highly curious about acting, and the explanation he made did not contain any technical terms, but for director Zemeckis, things are a little different, because the professional term of pushing the track and moving the camera is not something that a child can understand, unless he has been playing in the crew since he was a child.

"You even know how to push the rails?" Zemeckis glanced at Roland with a surprised look.

Although Roland was a little hairy by the other party, he didn't care.

Even if you don't ask today, you can continue to ask tomorrow.

Zemeckis can't accept Roland's current way of asking questions, so he can change his words, won't he have it?

However, Zemeckis only glanced at Roland curiously, and did not dwell too much on this issue.

Seeing Roland nodding, he continued: "Since you know the role of pushing the rail and moving the mirror, then you should know the role of pushing the rail and moving the mirror, right?" ”

"Have you seen Steven's "Ark of Law"? Indiana Jones is unable to save his ex-girlfriend Marianne and thinks she is dead, at this point, Steven uses a push rail, gradually zooming in from the middle scene, first showing the body language and environment, and then pulling to the close-up in the middle, so that the audience can see the painful expression on his face. ”

"As the camera gets closer to the subject, the framing area narrows and the depth of field shortens, and the actor is able to isolate himself from the background, making the audience empathize with his grief and create a very strong sense of substitution."

"I used the push rail to capture Maggie's reaction, and I did the same thing."

"And in that scene, Steven put a bottle next to Indiana Jones's hand."

"You ask me why I put Martin in the camera with his back? Because Martin does the same thing as a bottle. ”

"Their presence adds layers to the picture and creates the illusion of spatial depth, otherwise the composition would only have two layers, foreground and background, and the bottle and Martin also hint at the existence of space outside the painting, making the frame open."

"Do you think Martin can appear in front of him in this situation?"

"Martin's presence is to make the composition more complete, and Maggie is the protagonist in that shot."

"If you still have questions, go back and watch "The Ark of Law".

When Roland remembered their words and went home that night to review Spielberg's "Ark of the Law", he found that the footage he saw during the day was exactly the same as the technique used by Spielberg back then.

Not only that, but he also discovered that Michael J. Fox and Harrison Ford's acting techniques are also the same.

This kind of results that not only answer questions, but also find examples to give you inferences, makes Roland very satisfied.

He felt like he had found a Wikipedia that not only gave you a list of the correct answers to the questions, but also a bunch of hyperlinks to the same type of questions that you could click on and make visual analogies.

Even if Roland can only watch the shooting pictures on New Year's Day, the knowledge points given by others are enough for Roland to digest for a while.

Because of this, Roland stubbornly followed the other party's words in the following days.

An awkward dance for a bunch of knowledge?

It's a great deal!

And after he spent more than 30 cycles and ate all the scenes on New Year's Day, he began to be a demon again.

He thinks that since Zemeckis is so good at communicating, then he asks some questions that have nothing to do with "Back to the Future 3", maybe the other party can answer them, right?

However, what Roland didn't expect was -

When he pretended to ask a few doubts that had been resolved, and then tried to use other works as examples to let the other party teach him, Zemeckis with a smile on his face suddenly changed his words and took the initiative to throw a question to Roland, "Roland, are you so interested in filming?" ”

"In that case, I recommend you to go filming, okay? You can learn from them in the crew. ”

"I have a friend who has just become a director, and the crew is recruiting, with your understanding of the movie, as well as the little dance of the people just now, there is no problem at all to play a leading role in him."
