Jennifer knew Renly was serious, very serious.
In the world of performance, there are never shortcuts or secrets. The methods and techniques are clearly presented. As long as everyone devotes himself to it and polishes himself well, he can achieve something. As for acting talent, the difference it brings is only the difference between top actors and excellent actors. Of course, an old drama worthy of history may only be produced in ten years.
But in the Hollywood spotlight, no one cares. Or to be more precise, no one wants to be a good actor, but to be a top star. The dream of overnight fame, the fairy tale of the sparrow turning into a phoenix, always attracts people.
Jennifer wants to be a star, but she wants to be an actress even more.
"Thank you." Jennifer said sincerely, after "Winter's Bone" received numerous accolades at Sundance, she was still a little complacent, but now she is quiet again. There are people outside people, and there are mountains outside the mountains.
Renly also obviously did not expect such an answer, he knew better than anyone how attractive Hollywood's glitter and high-profile people are to young people, not to mention Jennifer, even if he is a two-life man" The old" guy is inevitably a little emotional. But Jennifer in front of her brought an unexpected surprise.
"My pleasure." Renly smiled and nodded in response.
That humble and sincere but calm expression made Jennifer chuckle, pretending to take it out in her pocket, "Come on, let me light a cigarette for you." A dog-legged look.
Renly laughed outright and looked at the cigarette between his fingers, "No, it's just a medium for thinking and relaxing."
Before Jennifer could ask the story behind this, Drake's voice came over, "Actors, are you ready? We can start shooting!"
Today, this scene has changed the shooting location, so there is no need to worry about the harassment of the neighbors diagonally opposite the door. In the movie, after Jacob graduated, he opened his own furniture design studio and rented a small warehouse with a second-floor mezzanine leading to a staircase, which he turned into his bedroom, while the floor The next section is full of tools for furniture design and production.
This small warehouse was also leased by Drake through the introduction of a friend. The other party was very generous and only charged fifty dollars for the utility bill.
"I think this is the call to call us." Renly pointed in the direction of the source of the voice and said with a smile, "We'd better hurry up."
"Of course!" Jennifer couldn't wait, she stood up immediately, and then gently rubbed her palms, the eagerness of excitement burst into a dark light in the bottom of her eyes.
The two came to the center of the studio, and Drake personally came up to tell the whole shooting process, and then noticed Jennifer's excitement, and couldn't help chuckling, "Calm, calm, little beauty, this scene hasn't happened yet. When it's time for you to flex your muscles."
"The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
Jennifer raised her chin proudly, "A truly outstanding actor who can grasp every detail of every scene. I won't relax easily."
This made Derek burst into laughter, turned around, patted Renly on the shoulder, and said nothing, but the trust in his eyes was very clear. But in just a few days, Renly's outstanding performance has convinced Drake -- even more profoundly than when he was in Telluride.
Renly sat in front of the desk, first laid out the design drawings, arranged them a little messily, and then piled up some shredded paper balls, but after thinking about it carefully, he sorted out all the design drawings. , placed neatly, and then only two shredded paper balls remained.
After the breakup, Jacob's mental state was supposed to be dull and depressed, and he seemed absent-minded even at work; but after Sam moved in, the studio was in order - Sam's first line was to ask Jacob Whether or not Bu needs to help him iron his jeans, is obviously a good householder.
So, on the desk, everything else is neat and tidy, only the part where Jacob himself just started working is messy. After thinking about it for a while, Renly rummaged through the pen holder to find the knife, and sharpened the pencil on the waste paper next to it, leaving some scattered fragments.
In this life, when Renly was educated, he chose music, but he also dabbled in other art forms such as fine arts, sculpture, drama, and novels, mainly learning appreciation. As for practice, Renly is not good at it. In their family, Edith is the one who is best at art. But he had never eaten pork, and had always seen pigs running. Renly still knew something about Edith's work status, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
At this point, the preparatory work is complete.
Renly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and let his thoughts settle. In fact, the scene itself is very simple, but it is just a few simple dialogues to introduce Sam to appear. However, in the last life's "Crazy Love", the content presented was so weak that the audience misunderstood Jacob.
In fact, Jacob has broken up with Anna, and in order to cut off the relationship and single-mindedly engage with Sam, Jacob forces himself to stop contacting Anna. But Anna couldn't resist the pain of lovesickness after all, so she begged so hard that Jacob picked up the phone and proposed marriage on the phone. Jacob made a choice, he confessed to Sam because he knew it was unfair to Sam, whether he was selfish or cruel, he chose to break up with Sam and go to London, Married Anna and began the long road to seeking a visa.
How to present the state and struggle after breaking up to the audience in the shortest time and in the narrowest space, waiting for the truth to be revealed later, let the audience suddenly realize, this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge of Renly.
The entire warehouse fell into silence. The crew already had a certain understanding of Renly's working mode, and waited quietly for the signal, and then saw Renly raise his hand and make an "OK" gesture, Drake. Then he hurried forward and shouted, "Start shooting!"
Jacob sat in front of the desk, bowed his head and drew the design drawing seriously, a smile formed on the corner of his mouth, sweet and happy, but the shallow curvature was so gentle, and the drooping eyelashes couldn't hide the bright look in his eyes. The halo seemed to own the whole world, and even the lines of the shoulders softened, the white T-shirt undulating lightly, softening the air.
Drake couldn't help but be stunned, "It shouldn't be like this!" Jacob has broken up with Anna, and he should be in great pain now; Jacob and Sam being together is not love, it's just loneliness Well, he shouldn't be so happy... But why did Renly act like this? That happy look reminded him of the good days of Jacob and Anna.
Drake was a little hesitant, not sure whether to call "Ka" or not. After struggling for a while, he decided to trust Renly for the time being and see the follow-up performance. So, Drake looked up and gave a signal to the assistant hiding by the railing on the second floor, and Brian immediately gave Jennifer a signal.
Jennifer had entered the state of acting, nodded calmly to show her understanding, then silently counted down three times in her heart, and said loudly, "Do you need me to iron your jeans?"
Sam's voice broke the silence in the studio, and the flowing air was like a warm current, drawing a happy glow between Jacob's brows, "Huh?" Jacob responded lazily, as if Old couples who have been married for 30 to 40 years are generally able to automatically block the content of each other's words, but they can always capture each other's voices. The slightly raised tail sound can smell the sweet taste.
"Do you need me to iron your jeans for you?"
The sound became clearer from far to near, Jacob reacted, turned his head along the sound, looked over, and then saw Sam wearing his dark blue shirt, sticking out from the railing on the second floor Head back, with a gentle smile on his face.
Jacob's eyes froze unexpectedly. It was just a moment, a moment of a millisecond, but he could see the emotions of shock, consternation, panic, and loss flashing by. There was a trace of sadness, and it was fleeting.
The corners of his mouth pursed slightly, raised upwards, and then his eyes widened, as if he was seriously thinking about Sam's problem, the confusion between his eyebrows disappeared quietly, and he regained his composure. However, this time is a little different. There is no happiness and joy before, but there is no surprise and sadness just now. Instead, it is polite, as if wearing a mask, and the smile is even a little unnatural alienation and jerky. , The faint sense of strangeness came to his face, but his true emotions had disappeared and were completely hidden.
"Uh..." Jacob dragged his end and pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about Aristotle's three laws, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay," he said.
The smile at the corner of Sam's mouth rose. The gesture of the little woman who had fallen in love made her face glow with a soft halo. She mouthed, "OK", and then turned to go to work, pinching it in her hand. The hands that were wearing the jeans could not help but gently retract, and even the steps became lighter.
Jacob pursed the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. When Sam turned around, his smile remained the same, but it was stained with a hint of bitterness and loneliness. He just stayed in place like this, looking at the second floor motionless, the back of Sam leaving, those bright eyes slowly dimmed, as if something was collapsing, showing a trace of confusion and confused. There is no extra action, time stops at this moment, and his world seems to stop at this second forever.
The silent pain, the loss of heartbreak, slowly spread in the air, a burst of grief.
