"Uh... what's the matter?" Damien couldn't react at all, his thoughts were still stuck in the discussion just now, and then he saw Melissa, and then heard a bunch of "sorry", his brain turned fast enough After a few beats, he looked at Renly in confusion, and cast his eyes for help.
"To put it simply, she tried to create scandals maliciously, and I found out, and now she is trying to make up for her fault." The complicated matter fell on Renly's side, but it became an extremely simple matter, just a sentence.
Create a scandal
Damien was stunned and completely stunned. He had never encountered such a thing before. He had only heard of it before, but now it suddenly happened in his own crew. He had absolutely no idea how to deal with it, "… " He opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.
After the shock, the words stammered, "Then... what do you do? No no, I mean, what do we do? Should we... er... replace her? Find a new heroine? Her behavior is unacceptable, right? It's not right, right?"
Seeing Damien's helpless appearance, Renly couldn't help laughing, and patted Damien's arm lightly, "Don't worry, it's good to be professional, why go to war for a small role? We still follow the plan and complete the filming. , there is no need to disrupt the rhythm at the critical moment about to start."
"But... But how can she do this?" Damien blinked, still looking messy in the wind, and after gradually regaining his senses, his words were even more angry than the person involved, "She! How can she! God, she's crazy! Such filthy things can be done! Why? Why!"
"Trust me, it's just the basics." Renly was amused by Damien, and chuckled comfortingly, "Let's just focus on our work. As for me, don't worry, I don't think there are any actors in Hollywood right now. Make me feel wronged."
The confident and arrogant tone made Damien stunned for a while, and then his helpless smile rose slightly, shaking his head again and again, still can't believe that the rumors actually happened to him, and he Still one of the protagonists.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Simmons's eyes drifted from the corner of his eye, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity. He ran over in small steps, looked at Damien, and then looked at Renly, " Why do I feel like, I want to miss something big? Please tell me my gut is wrong."
"Your intuition is correct." Damien's reaction was still a little slow for half a beat, so Renly took the initiative to take over, "We were discussing some details of the shooting just now, and I think the sense of confrontation in some scenes, It takes not only the lines to render, but also the action and the look to fill the space, and Damien was worried that I might not be able to accept some physical collisions, but I was showing my dedication."
Without any hesitation, it was done in one go, as if Renly and Damien were really discussing this matter just now, not only took Melissa's affairs in one stroke, but also completely skipped the discussion of "murder/father/complex" and went directly to the Another detail to discuss, which shows that Renly is well prepared.
Damien still hasn't recovered, but Simmons has already entered a state, "A friend I know used to be a background in 'I am fighting cancer', yes, you don't know him, he is an extra..." Facing Renly's inquiring gaze, Simmons immediately understood the meaning of it, and after explaining it smoothly, he continued, "He once mentioned that you are a very, very dedicated actor, and you don't need to worry about your career at all. Attitude, doing everything as best as possible."
Not just using a razor to shave all of my hair, but also the focus and self-absorption that I lost because of being too involved during the shooting.
Simmons has been rolling around in the industry for many years. There are countless characters with lines and no lines, and there are countless roles without cameras. He is very familiar with many extras and actors. You can feel the traces of experience between the lines.
"With such a high hat on, my tail is about to touch the ceiling." Renly joked with a smile, "I won't worry about the real guns being filmed, but now the question is, can you do it? ?"
Simmons couldn't help taking a deep breath, and slowly sat down opposite Renly. He didn't answer immediately, but kept adjusting his breathing rhythm. Of course he knew what Renly was saying, because he had read the script over and over twenty times.
A slap in the face.
This is what Renly said, not a slap full of blood, but a slap full of dramatic tension. In a series of quarrels and pressure, it was thrown at Andrew, showing Fletcher's brutality and blood. , and even the tyrant / monarch /-like punishment and outbreak, violently vented towards Andrew, that slap gathered too much weight.
Just using my mouth to express: I can throw it down.
This does not seem to be such a difficult task, just imagine it in your mind; however, only the parties who have actually experienced it can really feel the pressure of face-to-face matching, and the opponent's play is still a brutal slap in the face. It's really too dramatic and too bloody.
What's more, the target of the play is actually Renly. After thinking about it, he gave Renly a slap in the face. At the same time, Renly couldn't resist. Is this... exciting or thrilling
Simmons's mood was a little mixed, and he couldn't fully react for a while. "Of course." The brain couldn't react a little bit, and he just replied subconsciously, but then he found that his lips were shaking slightly, so that his voice was a bit strange.
Simmons raised his head quickly, and then saw Renly smiling in his eyes. He couldn't help laughing, shaking his head gently, revealing a helpless look, "Renly, are you serious?"
"Of course." Renly replied succinctly. Compared with Simmons, the difference immediately became apparent. "After entering the role, everything is done for the performance, so there is no need to worry too much. We can rehearse and practice. , when it comes to filming, really get into the role and just let it take its course.”
"I understand the truth." Simmons showed a wry smile, and really didn't know how to describe this feeling, "but it is still very difficult to operate in practice, let's rehearse first, maybe, after getting familiar with it, you will gradually feel it. Better. That's what drama is like, isn't it? Rehearsal over and over again until you beat your own demons."
Damien, who was sitting next to him, had already reacted, and he could not help but sketch the picture in his head as he listened to the exchanges between the two, "Actually, if there is really no way to start, we can borrow a seat, as long as The camera lens is placed at the correct angle, whether it is real or fake, the audience can't see it."
"But we can see it." Renly said calmly, Damien and Simmons both cast their gazes, and he shrugged gently, "This scene is very important for Fletcher's character development, for Andrew's character growth. In addition to the slap in the face, there is also the scene where Andrew was scolded and cried bitterly. In fact, it is all like this, the fullness of emotion and the tension of the performance cannot be replaced."
Looking back at the shooting of "Buried Alive," "Gravity," and back to the shooting of "Breaking Drummer," Renly didn't think it was that difficult.
But both Damien and Simmons had stunned expressions on their faces, and Renly didn't explain much, just said with a smile, "Let's start with the rehearsal, and after we start shooting, everything will gradually come to an end. Together, there is no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet."
As a director, Damien was under limited pressure after all, and he quickly nodded happily in agreement.
Simmons was ignorant and confused, and hesitant in his actions and words, but Renly didn't leave much room and leeway, and then began to read the script aloud, allowing the entire crew to slowly move forward. Enter state.
The composition of the crew of "Boom Drummer" is very simple. In order to ensure the authenticity of the filming, all members of the band in which Andrew and Fletcher are all are real jazz band musicians, including the main drummer before Andrew came in. Na, they are 100% professional musicians.
In other words, more than two-thirds of the entire crew are amateur actors. This also means that it is very, very necessary to read the script aloud to ensure that the amateur actors can understand the entire shooting process, including the direction of the camera and the expression of emotions, and can enter the state before they are officially engaged in shooting—
Make an important contribution to the cost saving of the crew.
Of course, the actors outside the band are all professional actors. It includes the band's third competing drummer, Ryan, Austin-Stowell.
The only regret is that Renly was looking forward to meeting Peter Erskine face to face. A brief conversation was also a rare learning opportunity for him.
Beidi Pavilion
But Peter declined the crew's request to film with him.
On the one hand, Peter is fifty-nine years old this year. His physical strength and energy are limited, and he must spend more time on tour. He promised to dub the later stage of "Boom Drummer", and he only has a week to spare. Just to cooperate, he is now on tour with pianist Yelena-Eckemoff.
On the other hand, Peter didn't like the script of "The Bursting Drummer", which he believed distorted people's understanding of music, and that real music should be joyful, not violent and bloody, and he refused. Come to the crew to avoid negative thoughts and change his mind.
As a result, the entire crew threw themselves into the script reading, and announced the official start of the work related to "Boom Drummer".
