"The lighting team comes over. The lights are too bright. Turn off the lights in the hall, leaving only the lights on the counter and aisle."
"Clothing team? Costume team, where's Renly's coat? It's the black one."
"Melissa's makeup is too thick and the whole person looks too neat, what's going on?"
"Wait, props group, props group, where's the microphone? Where's the radio microphone?"
"God, what the hell is going on?"
…
The crew of "Boom Drummer" has officially started, and today is the second day. Obviously, the crew has not fully entered the state, and it still seems to be in a bit of a hurry, and the coordination between various departments is a bit confusing.
However, this is normal, because the crew is very, very small. The so-called props crew, lighting crew, and costume crew are actually only one person. One person is responsible for all the trivial work of the entire crew.
Especially with the existence of Renly, everyone has not been able to fully adapt to it. They are busy and busy, and suddenly they will stop what they are doing, and they can't help but wonder: Is all this true? Is Renly, who just won EGOT, filming in this sparrow-sized crew
Then, when he turned his head, he could see Renly sitting next to him, concentrating on reading the script, and only then did he realize that everything was real.
Like this, over and over, there is always a sense of unreality.
Renly could feel the swarming eyes from all directions, unprecedented turbulent and boiling, this kind of experience has never been felt before, but this is his life, and it is also an ongoing issue for the future, he must learn to learn to take it lightly, Wholeheartedly recalibrated myself and put myself back into acting again.
Breathing calmly, Renly's eyes fell on the script in his hand.
The whole shooting progress of "Booming Drummer" is very fast. Although yesterday was the first day of the official shooting, the twenty-third scene has already been filmed today; of course, each scene is relatively short, not The filming of a very long and difficult scene went very smoothly yesterday, and all the work was completed smoothly without encountering any challenges.
Today's upcoming scene is quite special for Andrew.
After entering the academy, Andrew has always dreamed of going a step further and joining the jazz band directed by Fletcher, which is the top band in the entire school. Every musician who joins is an elite. As long as he can occupy a place in it, It seems to have the possibility of becoming a legend.
But the problem is that even in the school's ordinary band, Andrew, who just entered the school, is just a backup drummer, Ryan is the core drummer, and the other musicians in the band don't like Andrew, they think Andrew has no talent, All the acting is a mess.
Involuntarily, Andrew also lacked self-confidence in himself, trying to get better but not knowing what to do.
Unexpectedly, Fletcher noticed Andrew's talent and talent, and in the watchful eyes of the band's practice room, asked Andrew to report to the band he directed.
For Andrew, this is the best day of his life. He can finally lift his chin and raise his eyebrows; he can finally join his dream band and continue his studies. He can even imagine a future where he will become a top drummer, rise to prominence, and immortalize forever. .
So, Andrew, who had always lacked self-confidence, finally gained some confidence. He decided to summon the courage to issue a date invitation to the movie theater conductor he had always had a crush on.
The cinema conductor is Nicole, played by Melissa.
In fact, the lines of this scene themselves are not difficult, the difficulty is the kind of heartbeat and shyness that hides them.
This not only shows Andrew's first love, the interaction between the two young people is simple and pure; more importantly, it shows a ray of sunshine in Andrew's heart. He is still a man immersed in his own fantasy and beauty. The boy in his dreams, he will still cheer for the teacher's appreciation and the smile of the person he loves.
Andrew at this moment, he is real and beautiful.
In more direct words, he is still sunshine.
With the progress of the follow-up story, he slowly fell into the darkness, became paranoid and crazy, and finally cut off the connection with Nicole completely, and gradually fell into Fletcher's control.
This is a commonly used method in drama writing. Setting a person or thing with symbolic significance is the last bottom line in the heart. Once defeated or cut off, it will completely escape into darkness or usher in a crazy explosion. , creating a dramatic turn of events, ushering in the climax of the script's third act.
In Andrew's story, Nicole is the symbol.
Going back to the scene to be filmed, Andrew, who has always been inferior and reserved, is a frequent visitor to this cinema. He will come every now and then, but he has never been able to speak up, not even the courage to face Nicole. But today, with the confidence boosted by Fletcher's appreciation, as if it were the best day of his life, he decided to take this step cautiously.
Youthful, restrained, introverted, nervous, apprehensive.
This is Andrew's state, truly showing the juvenile feeling of first love.
Renly slowly settled his emotions and read the script over and over again. The seemingly innocuous and boring dialogue had unparalleled power, showing a ray of sunshine in the depths of Andrew's soul.
"Renly, the crew is ready."
Renly didn't answer, but put the script aside, stood up straight, and walked over to the camera with ease.
Today's scene is not difficult. For Renly, who has experienced many battles, it is really simple. To be precise, from yesterday to today, all the scenes are like this. Judging from the smooth situation of the actual shooting, it is also verified this.
But Renly still didn't take it lightly and treated it casually. He still followed his established steps, completed the preparation step by step, and devoted himself to the performance.
After four months of long rest and adjustment, Renly now cherishes every opportunity to perform in a scene. He enjoys the process of opening the character world bit by bit, as if creating a life bit by bit, and giving his life more color and weight.
After the drama management confirmed all the matters, Damien officially announced the "startup" with a loud voice.
Andrew stood at the entrance of the cinema, fiddling with the hem of his coat unconsciously, as if he was worried that his dress was not neat, and seemed to use small movements to ease his tension. Then, he stepped forward, and after walking a few steps, The figure in the counter came into view. Andrew's footsteps paused a little unnaturally, deliberately straightened his back, raised his head and raised his chest, and then continued to walk towards the counter.
"Hey." Andrew's voice tightened slightly. After saying hello, he realized his nervousness and raised his hand to touch the hair on the back of his neck.
Nicole showed the smile of the girl next door and said hello, "Hey, hello."
"You... hello, how are you?" Andrew seemed to have no idea how to speak, and the words were fragmented.
Nicole was amused by Andrew's weirdness, "I'm fine, thank you."
But the words stopped here, Andrew didn't speak, and Nicole didn't know why, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.
Andrew kept his eyes down, staring at the counter glass, his muscles terribly stiff.
Nicole was a little confused, but she still fulfilled her job duties after all, "According to the routine?" Andrew came here too many times, and every time the things he bought were very similar, Nicole was already used to his routine, jailed Keep in mind the needs of the guests.
"Uh..." Andrew began to feel uneasy, raised his eyes and quickly looked at Nicole, then lowered it again, but then plucked up the courage to lift it up again and met Nicole's eyes, but he never stopped. Dare to look directly, the focus of the line of sight was slightly off, which seemed to give him some courage.
"No, you see, I don't know, generally... how... uh... I mean, I see you here a lot and I think you are... um... beautiful. You... would you like to go out on a date with me? "
Finally, the invitation was finally sent out smoothly.
Andrew quietly glanced at Nicole's eyes from the corner of his eyes, trying to find out the other party's answer in advance, but he was disappointed.
Because Nicole was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded, without speaking or expression. To be more precise, it is actually an expression. After being nervous to the extreme, he can't help but start to panic and panic. It seems that the brain is so shut down that it can't make any response.
"The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
Andrew swallowed nervously and asked tentatively again, "So, what do you think?"
Nicole opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she couldn't squeeze out a word, so she froze on the spot in a panic and stiff, motionless.
"Card!"
Damien's voice rang out. In fact, he had already noticed something was wrong before. After Andrew sent out a date invitation, Nicole had to respond, but in fact, Melissa didn't respond. Seeing this, Renly didn't respond at all. He was flustered, and continued the performance calmly and calmly, making the ins and outs of the story reasonable.
However, Melissa still did not respond.
Damien couldn't watch it any longer and was forced to interrupt the filming, "Melissa? What's going on? Did you forget the lines?"
Melissa stared at Renly, her mouth opened and closed unconsciously, as if she was explaining something, but there was no sound at all, only Renly could see her mouth movements, but there was no way to start, because it was all meaningless The onomatopoeia is not a complete vocabulary or even a sentence at all.
"Damn God, what the hell happened? Who can tell me, what's going on now?" Damien didn't get the answer he wanted. .
Renly didn't speak, just stared at Melissa quietly.
