Angus and May Bell were exchanging glances, because the situation on the scene was so unexpected and too fierce that they could not keep up with the speed, and even began to doubt life.
First it was a confrontation between Renly and Gareth, then they got involved, and then they changed the way they acted, and before they had time to understand the whole picture and their roles, now Renly and Felicity have begun Right on the lines... Even the ballet whip is not so fast, making people completely unable to keep up with the rhythm, so the crew has never experienced this, so what should they do
Isn't this a commercial blockbuster
The "Star Wars" series has never been won by "delicacy and depth of performance"; they have rarely heard of it. VFX blockbusters rely on the fullness and vividness of the characters to win the hearts of the audience, but the whole context at this time seems to be trending. It is deviating from the track, and things are becoming more and more incomprehensible.
Just because of Renly
But seriously recalling the ins and outs in the short period of time, it seems that it is not just because of Renly, and it seems that it is not just as simple as digging out acting skills.
Even the director agreed.
"How to do?"
"I do not know either."
"Go ask?"
"you sure?"
"if not?"
Angus and May Bell exchanged glances frequently like this, but there was inevitably some hesitation in their eyes. The hesitation in confusion prevented them from making a decision easily. Finally, Angus summoned the courage and walked forward - London There are many rumors about Renly, but one thing is common: Renly's professionalism is absolutely admirable.
Perhaps, being blunt and asking if you don’t understand is the best way. Just like Gareth.
Angus decided to trust Renly once, "Excuse me, can we join your pair of lines together?" Angus also took May Bell by the way, turned his head and gestured to May Bell who followed, "I says… "
Angus was about to continue explaining, but Renly readily agreed, "Of course!" Seemingly aware of the hesitation and confusion between Angus and May Bell's eyebrows, Renly took the initiative to say, "The picture of Gareth It is still based on grandeur and atmosphere, and visual effects are still the biggest attraction of the movie. Our performances must not be too trivial and delicate, and the whole still needs to be concise; but at the same time, Felicity and I hope to be able to run through a main line for the characters, Following the beginnings and transitions of the plot, it shows the growth of the characters, so we need to be more accurate and precise in the emotional adjustment."
"But you have to avoid pushing too hard during the performance," Felicity added.
May-Bell could sense that kindness, and her emotions relaxed a little, "Isn't this asking for trouble?" After saying that, she regretted it, and she didn't say it directly.
Unexpectedly, Felicity laughed, "This is Master Renly's style, don't you know? He always likes to make trouble for himself."
Renly tilted his head and looked at Felicity, "Hey, lady, if you don't like it, we can stop this stupid trick at any time." The faint smile in the words can be felt, he was joking.
Felicity pretended not to hear, but looked at Angus and May Bell, "Quick, we need to hurry up, Gareth is still waiting for us."
Angus and May Bell both cast their gazes towards Renly. Obviously, Felicity's words don't count, and it is still up to Renly to decide.
"Fairy Wood"
Felicity was not angry either, she turned her head helplessly to look at Renly, and made a very, very ugly face to express her strong dissatisfaction.
This made Renly chuckle, and gave a positive answer, "Welcome to join us, but we need to speed up, the whole crew is waiting for us. I can be sure that the first scene will be It's not a good sign if it takes a whole day."
The atmosphere finally relaxed completely.
Now Angus and May Bell finally understood, at least what Renly and Felicity were trying to do—they were clearly still too narrow-minded.
"Of course!" Angus took over immediately, not facing Renly, but nodded towards Felicity in agreement.
Then you could see Felicity nodding contentedly, raising her right arm like Popeye, showing off her biceps that didn't even exist.
May-Bell could see Renly roll her eyes, expressing her rant, which wasn't a gentleman at all, but made her laugh after a puff.
"Are we starting from scratch?" Angus continued to ask, ignoring Renly's expression. "Wait, what did Gareth just say? I need some?"
And just like that, the four actors got together and started talking off the lines off-camera. Not reading the script aloud, but actually engaging in the performance.
This method is more frequently used in theatrical performances. Before the official performance, the actors need to practice so repeatedly and run in a tacit understanding; and now, in a commercial film, it is the first scene "somewhat important but not so." Crucial", the actors are practicing.
Garis was already ready to start shooting, but when he saw the actions of Renly and others, he didn't say much. He just sat down in the corner of the conference room and discussed with the photographer and lighting engineer how to make full use of the space. Here comes the question, and then... the crew just relaxes like this.
Inexplicably.
Executive producer Jason McGatlin stood next to the set, bewildered, but didn't understand what was going on.
…
"How? How do you feel?"
"Try it and you'll know."
For the lines, it is not necessary to completely smooth the overall lines. It is more to find a mood and a rhythm, and then spend time to figure out and adjust each other, so that the opposing actors can fit on the same track. The four actors practiced back and forth four or five times, and it took less than ten minutes to gradually figure out the feeling - it was just that the rhythm was wrong before, which did not mean that the strength was not good.
Between the exchange of sights, the actors were sure to be ready, and Angus shouted in the direction of the monitor, "The captain is ready to set sail."
He didn't even realize that Gareth was not behind the monitor, so such a handsome move was in vain, making the staff around him burst into laughter.
But in this way, Gareth, who was sitting in the corner for a small meeting, still captured the sound, patted the photographer and lighting engineer on the shoulders, and was ready to start shooting again - this is the first time "Rogue One" is turned on. It's just a game, and the difficulties faced at this time have exceeded expectations.
According to superstition, this is not a good sign.
However, Gareth's thinking is slightly different: instead of finding the problem halfway through the shooting, it is better to be able to find the problem before it starts. From a global perspective, this is a good thing; especially the coordination of the actor's performance and the director's overall situation , which is critical to the quality of the finished film, and Gareth is more than happy to be able to identify problems now, and then proactively start looking for solutions.
In his view, this is a good thing.
Standing next to the monitor, Gareth cast an inquiring glance at Renly, and after getting a positive response from Renly, he walked behind the monitor full of energy.
Quietly—or subtly, it seems to have become a consensus that people have become accustomed to ignoring Renly's age and taking Renly's expertise for granted; even if Felicity is nearby, even if Angu Thomas and May Bell are also veterans of the industry for years, but Renly still won the trust with ease.
This subtle change seems to have become a matter of course.
Then, after confirming that all aspects of the crew were ready, Gareth announced the start of filming again, and this time, they started filming from scratch.
As a director, Gareth can clearly perceive that the chemistry of the overall picture is different.
Angus's performance is mixed with a little cynicism, relaxed shoulders and a light tone, but these small and subtle changes have added a little interest invisibly, while faintly increasing the entertainment, and can let the audience start. Pondering: What was the attitude of the rebels towards Jyn Erso
May Bell's performance is more calm and atmospheric, showing the demeanor of a leader of the resistance army. As a Dinghai Shenzhen, she keeps the atmosphere of the entire conference room solemn and serious, and controls the core atmosphere of the plot - in the middle scene composition, the leader The style can also cover the whole situation.
This is the completeness of the picture.
Of course, the most important thing is Felicity who is the center of the whole scene.
alert. nervous. Introverted. tough. Alert.
Just by sitting upright and looking at the audience quietly, Felicity successfully presented the character's state in a few strokes within a limited space - more emotions are still conveyed through the lines; but now It is limited to the surface and cannot go further, because the pain point of "Jean-Erso" has not been touched, and the real confrontation still needs to wait for the appearance of "Captain Cassian-Ando".
However, for now, the performance of just 45 seconds has balanced the whole scene, and the tension of confrontation has begun to slowly diffuse. The overall quality has been substantially improved. Not to mention Gareth, even the on-site staff are starting to focus.
From performance to lighting to camera scheduling, the first scene finally has the look of a movie.
Then came the main event.
When Captain Cassian Andor came on stage, all eyes could not help but fall on Renly - because everyone was curious, is the rumored "acting against the sky" Renly really has three heads and six arms? And just now the performance has never been able to fit on the track, but the adjustment has been completed in a short period of time. What role does Renly play? More importantly, what about Renly's own performance? Can it bring surprises
The answer is obviously yes, Renly seems to be born for the camera!
