"Should we read the script now? Or should we talk about the characters?"
Holt was the first to speak.
Not only because of his age, but also because of his personality, he is more accustomed to taking the initiative to attack and control the audience, and his steady and atmospheric tone will not appear too aggressive or too condescending, and the transition will be completed naturally, even in the face of Renly and Lu. A super big name like Ni has no stage fright.
Renly cast a glance at Rooney, and the slightly raised eyebrows showed a slight smile, and there was a faint light of mischief in his eyes.
Rooney understood immediately: read the script? Or discuss roles
Regarding this matter, to be precise about the performance, Renly and Rooney had discussed the work "Mind Hunter" with Rooney before - Renly didn't know Rooney might play Wendy at that time, they just discussed the performance status and rhythm purely, Given Renly's current situation, he felt he needed time to figure it out.
Just like Holden.
In the script, the first appearance of Horton is a young nerd, in a suit and leather shoes, serious and rigid, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old - a perfect fit for Renly's age, which is also David Fincher's always The focus of persistence, in terms of appearance and temperament, can be said to be a role closest to Renly in recent years.
At this time, Horton was a crime scene negotiator. When criminals kidnapped hostages and made requests, it was when Horton appeared to assist. In addition, Horton was also responsible for teaching new students at the FBI headquarters. Agent Jin, tell them how to properly handle the live negotiation.
However, Holden's rigidity is full of rules and regulations, and it is too academic and full of esoteric vocabulary, which makes his classes often unpopular, not only students, but also colleagues and supervisors. Holden's courses are Full of confusion and not fully understood.
In fact, Horton has always been studying the profile of criminal psychology. His intuition can always vaguely capture the context, but the lack of support from a theoretical framework makes it impossible for his knowledge fragments to be connected into an effective system. I am trying to change the status quo, hoping to get the attention of my boss, invest more resources, collect more information, and even communicate directly with criminals in serial violence cases to prove my ideas.
That's what Holden was in before he met Bill Tench.
Highly focused, smart, inspired, gifted, rigid, inflexible, unsociable, passionate, going his own way.
As David said, Holden is like rough jade, starting from scratch, slowly polishing, and gradually growing. To a certain extent, it is indeed very similar to Renly, and it is also somewhat similar to Renly who entered the "Pacific War" crew; at the same time, the series has enough length and space to allow Renly to slowly sculpt and polish the characters, while " All of the focus of the first season of Mind Hunter was on Holden, and it gave Renly a further chance.
Despite this, "I'm still not Holden." Renly thinks so, the deviation of state and situation, the difference between character and temper, these are all objective existences, even if two people are in a similar pace, but Lanly Li still must be adjusted and pondered slowly, otherwise it will be a disaster.
Renly thought seriously about how he should devote himself to the performance: simplifying the complex and truly showing a state of simplicity, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
Renly couldn't help but think of the "Interstellar" performance, which was also true at the time. On the one hand, he needed to play his father, which was a very different challenge; on the other hand, he needed to capture the power of time, which presented more to the power of performance. Requirements, coupled with the cooperation of two young actors, so Renly adopted the method of moisturizing things silently, living as a "father" in daily life, and gradually reflected on the characters.
"Mind Hunter" can be used as a reference, infiltrating Horton's feelings into life, and then imperceptibly insinuating the character to complete the transformation.
To put it simply, it is to extend the performance to life, and to live in Horton's way in and out of the show; but it is different from the situation of going crazy, because Renly needs to adjust and polish the details through big and small things. Such as words and deeds, such as the way of thinking, such as eye movements.
Only by deviating from the script and slowly speculating and simulating "Horton's behavior pattern" in real life can we truly distinguish Renly from Holden.
Rooney couldn't help but think of "Bumper" and she was a little worried because Holden, like Andrew, ended up walking towards the cliff little by little, so does this mean Renly might also be caught in the "Bumper" filming again The dilemma of the times? The nightmare seems likely to repeat itself at any time.
But Rooney knew Renly, and even if he did it all over again, he would still choose "Boom Drummer" and go through another roller coaster experience. If it was her, so would she, and in essence, there were too many similarities between them, and she couldn't speak to stop Renly.
It's hard to say whether Rooney finally agreed to play "Soul Hunter", whether it was mixed with some worries, maybe there is, maybe not, she appeared here anyway.
At this time, Renly's eyes were hinting at this: not reading the script, not discussing the role, but substituting the role.
Rooney could sense the excitement and excitement that Renly exuded involuntarily, with a hint of mischievous playfulness. Although the worry still lingered, she couldn't help but get excited, and she also raised her eyebrows, secretly flashing. The moving eyes seemed to say, "I'll join in too."

The exchange of eyes was just a blink of an eye, and before Holt had time to observe, Renly and Rooney both cast their gazes.
"Reading the script? Oh, sorry, I haven't communicated with the drama management yet. What is the work arrangement of the crew today? Is there a specific script reading session? Are there any specific requirements? Do I need to start preparing now? Or Any special precautions?"
Renly's eyes were very focused, watching Holt earnestly and engrossedly, and the depths of his eyes revealed sincerity and sincerity, officially entering the state of work.
On the surface, Renly was no different, and the conversation continued smoothly; but if you taste it carefully, you can detect a slight difference: Renly's articulation is particularly clear, even the vowels that you may not pay attention to at ordinary times. and consonants, he kept them as complete as possible.
Such small details are very, very hidden, and ordinary people cannot perceive them at all. Only a few people who are sensitive to pronunciation and tone can understand—
If you pursue clear pronunciation too much, it will be like a robot, and the words are too rigid and rigid. Every word and every word is carefully bound with a frame, from pronunciation to grammar. Invisibly, the whole bound The feeling makes the expression and demeanor become formal.
Of course, Renly is far from being a "robot", but the professionalism inside and out can really make people feel the formality of an interpreter or a diplomat, between the mechanical coldness and the casualness of ordinary people. During this time, the image of Holden was sculpted and erected invisibly bit by bit.
The same is true of Renly's focused and devoted gaze, his unwavering focus showing complete professionalism, as if as long as the conversation is going on, all his attention is on the subject of the conversation, without evading his gaze or being absent-minded. The 100% concentration actually creates a pressure of over-enthusiasm without knowing it, making the conversation object vaguely feel the heat of the eyes and begin to feel uncomfortable.
However, Renly is still in the debugging stage, his voice and intonation are still a little stiff, his eyes are a little too engaged, and he may not be able to completely fit the idea of Horton; he needs more time to adjust slowly, slowly Run in and finally figure out what's best for Holden.
Holt didn't notice the difference in the details in Renly's words, and vaguely felt that it was a little... too enthusiastic, especially the eyes that were fixed, "Uh... no, no, no, no." Holt simply completed it in two sentences After adjusting, "We have no special arrangement, just a habit before shooting."
Renly nodded lightly in understanding.
Holt glanced at Rooney out of the corner of his eyes, but found that Rooney restrained her smile and lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking, but her expression was also very focused. It could be seen that she was listening intently; The look in his eyes made others feel mysterious and unpredictable.
It seems... also very focused.
Invisibly, Hult's pressure increased, but he quickly gained a firm footing, "I know that most film crews are not so used to it, and now it is more popular in Hollywood to roll up their sleeves and go straight to the scene, the shooting cycle is shorter, the production The rhythm is faster, and this link is directly omitted; but the TV drama crew is still retained, after all, we all need to get along with our characters for a long time to come."
The succinct but accurate explanations take care of Renly and Rooney's "used to film mode" situation without appearing too pointy or cynical.
"I don't have a clue about the role yet, so I guess it still takes a little time to get used to it." After the conversation changed, Holt returned to the topic.
Renly's eyes were still fixed on Holt, "Oh." He sighed softly, as if he was pondering what Holt had just said, "So what do you suggest? We should start by reading the script. And if we discuss the role, what is the way?"
"That is..." Hott was ready to explain, but then the abnormal feeling surged up, he shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is not right, you shouldn't be guided by me, and you don't need these guidelines either. You know what you're doing. Yes, you know what you're doing!"
Holt's eyes lit up, his eyes went back and forth between Renly and Rooney, "God, you two joined forces to play tricks on me?" Holt couldn't believe it, raised his left hand angrily and touched his short hair, Surprised, "You guys! Honestly, are you two guys playing a prank?"
