Chapter 559: What I Saw and Heard on the Set
As many people believe, a woman's intuition is accurate.
As soon as he arrived at the filming site, Charlize was sure that Charlotte must have another purpose-
With the altar of the Black Mass as the center, the entire set was painted into a huge circle. The patterns of the circle were intricate and mysterious, and just staring at it for a while, Charlize felt a little dizzy, almost as if he was staring into the abyss.
- Of course, she also considered that this was an adverse effect of the change in her physical state after she became pregnant.
However, after seeing the other staff members around him, including Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Mark Strong, all trembling, Charlize knew that it was not his problem.
"Charlotte, eighty percent of them used real magic circles during movie shooting again!"
The pregnant woman muttered in her heart.
Charlotte had done this kind of thing more than once before-
When filming "Guillotine Valley" before, he used real magic circles as traps, and many of the magic circles used in "Hell Detective" are also real.
Therefore, as soon as he saw such a complex and clear magic circle, Charlize immediately thought of this aspect.
She didn't have a problem with that.
After all, these circles are generally not dangerous when shooting.
It's just that thinking of the role he played for a while, he was going to lie down on the altar in the center of the circle, and Charlize still felt a little hairy in his heart.
"What is this circle for?"
She asked Charlotte secretly.
Charlotte gave an odious wicked smile,
"Liar!No, it's a liar!?"
"What!?"
Charlotte didn't continue to answer.
Soon, the filming of the film began......
"It's a strange scene!"
Mark Strong was performing while secretly commenting in his heart.
Mark Strong feels lucky to be the villain of "Sherlock Holmes", Earl Blake Wood.
- After all, this is the film of Charlotte Booth, the great director of commercial films.
Just because the box office of the movie shot by the other party has never been the difference between explosions, big bangs and super explosions, which has already made Mark Strong fall to the ground for the five bodies that the other party admires.
What's more, many commercial films shot by the other party have a good reputation, and they have even been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director.
Being selected by the other party to participate in the film directed by him is a very good opportunity for Mark.
And today's scene is the first scene he filmed after joining the group.
It should be said that the shooting process is actually quite smooth.
During the shooting, director Charlotte Booth showed extremely accurate scheduling and management skills, and the behind-the-scenes staff mistakes that usually occur when making a movie did not happen here at all.
And there are no problems with the performances of the actors.
After Mr. Director gave detailed guidance, everyone seemed to have become like a god, and even some of the actors performed remarkably.
And Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, the two leading actors, are even more like playing with each other.
It is rare that while competing with each other, the two can still chat a few words in between filming from time to time.
Look at that meaning, the relationship between the two is not bad.
At least, there is some tacit understanding.
This surprised Mark Strong, who has been in the entertainment industry for a few years and is used to seeing actors competing with each other.
But that's not what surprised him the most - after all, the world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are still some Hollywood crews with good relationships with actors - what really surprised Mark was how he felt when he acted.
- Like everyone else, after a few simple and clear words from Mr. Director, Mark ยท Strong felt as if he had opened his mind.
Before the performance began, his eyes always seemed to flash the picture of the performance, and the feeling of how to perform was found at once.
Coupled with the very detailed layout of the filming site, especially the arrangement of the sacrificial circle that looks complicated and a little evil, Mark gradually felt that he seemed to really fit into the role, and became the Earl of Blake Wood who killed many women with evil sacrificial rituals in a row-
Now, he is standing in front of the altar to preside over this dark messing ceremony.
In a low, evil voice, he chanted a mysterious incantation, while his followers stood around the circle, echoing him in anticipation of blood.
And on the altar in front of him, a blonde woman in a white gauze dress was lying unconscious.
As he chanted the incantation, the woman's body writhed strangely on the altar, as if it was a ghost attached to her that controlled her body.
Even, for a moment, Mark Strong saw a ghost in red, struggling and roaring on the woman's body.
This made him shudder, and even a feeling of fear welled up in his heart.
Fortunately, at this time, with a "CUT", the shooting stopped.
Mark blinked, realizing that the female ghost in red he had seen earlier should have been just a subconscious hallucination.
"I'm immersed in the role, right?"
Mark Strong was a little surprised when he came to his senses.
As an actor from the British background, he is a typical expressionist like most British actors who have been trained in stage plays for a long time.
To put it simply, when he is performing, he clearly knows that he is performing. But he will use lines, tone, gestures, posture, steps, etc., to make the audience feel that he is so consistent with the character, so that he believes that he is the role he plays.
- This is the art of acting.
And to do this, it is necessary to go through a lot of training and stage performance practice, which requires the accumulation of time.
This is also the reason why British actors are more expressive -
London's large and small theaters, as well as the traditional Shakespeare repertoire, make all British actors unconsciously influenced by the style of stage plays;
After all, London is not Los Angeles, and British actors can only find a chance to enter Hollywood after making a name for themselves in China, and they can't be like American actors, who can rise to the top in one step with a chance.
- This forced them to spend a longer time building up the acting skills that the expressives needed.
As a result, the pattern of British actors' multi-expressionism was formed.
And many people in the British entertainment industry are also proud of it.
Unlike the Oscars, who were obsessed with methodism, the British appreciated the Expressionist style more.
Mark Strong's acting teacher even told him that methodology is simply a shortcut chosen by Americans because of the lack of professional training and accumulation of actors.
In the eyes of the orthodox expressionists, that is simply heresy!
And the experiential school born here is an evil way in the evil way!!
Mark used to think so.
However, today he suddenly felt that the heresy of methodism and experientialism was not so hateful......
