The conversation between you and me is happening quietly, and you can vaguely perceive the feeling of "Houghton VS Edmond", although Cameron is still a little jerky, Renly is still adjusting, and the distance is 100% invested. Role, still needs to work on; but the two are indeed moving in the right direction.
Cameron stared at Renly quietly, with a very subtle and unique experience, as if he was watching Renly and facing Horton. The vague feeling made his attention begin to collapse. It was like falling into a fog, the hazy and fuzzy state produced a wonderful hallucination, and in a daze, he said, "I like you."
It's not like like, but like like.
Then Cameron could feel a ray of sight projected towards him, like a smile but not a smile, vaguely revealing a little panic and embarrassment, but the light expression doesn't seem... Rejection, the halo and air of that expression The field seems to be releasing a warm and soft breath, which makes him more and more excited, and there is an urge to step forward and approach deep in his heart. It has nothing to do with "sex", but just wants to clear the clouds and see the face And the emotion in those eyes, trying to explore the truth hidden in it.
"Well, this is the beginning." The corners of the handsome mouth rose slightly, still with a smile that was not a smile. It seemed that all the mixed emotions had been suppressed, and the usual calm was restored. Judging from his eyes, the surging emotions still haven't calmed down. This sentence is not the kind of mastering the initiative, but the avoidance in the passive.
Snapped!
At this moment, a light lit up in Cameron's mind, as Renly stood up and said with a big smile, "It's fine to perform at this rhythm." All the fog in his mind was dispelled and blurred. The outline of his world became clear again, the floating feeling of stepping on cotton, as if he had turned into a hydrogen balloon, floating in mid-air, up and down, left and right, it was really difficult to determine.
Then Renly turned and left.
Cameron took many, many beats to react: what the hell did I just say? So was Cameron speaking, or was Edmund speaking? So what does it mean in what context
Everything is so vague.
It's like... It's as if the body is controlled by a certain idea, and then the words and demeanor are naturally expressed in this way, but he has no idea how this happened - just his mind is very clear, and he can feel the whole process. Every detail and feeling.
So, this is... He knows what's going on, but he doesn't know what's going on.
Thinking back to the past, you can detect the subtle changes in Renly's tone and eyes, as if there is an invisible traction, like a puppet controlled by silk threads, pulling emotions and behaviors, those words. It just came out without knowing it.
It's a magical experience that Cameron hasn't experienced yet, and he can't even describe exactly what's going on and how it feels.
What is even more commendable is that, logically speaking, Edmund should be the one taking the initiative, while the fledgling Holden is the one being manipulated; but during the performance, Cameron could feel an invisible The big hand was in control, and Renly was still able to display a harmless sense of being in control.
So, is this all true? Or is it just his delusions and fantasies
If it's true, how exactly did Renly do it? How should he describe it accurately
"Wow!" The whole mind was like a big explosion, all thoughts exploded directly, Cameron sat on the spot, and his smile couldn't help but rise.
"Cameron?" came Hannah's voice—true this time, her expression stiff, apologetic and awkward, explaining, "Well, Renly said... you might need a little more Help... I... sorry, I don't know... I really didn't mean to."
"I know I know, don't worry." After speaking, Cameron realized that his tone was a bit strange, as if Grandma Wolf was comforting Little Red Riding Hood - he still couldn't get rid of the role, and then shook his head repeatedly to wake himself up, The tone of voice returned to normal. "I mean, who can refuse Renly? At least I can't."
Hannah let out a sigh of relief, but asked cautiously, "You're sure you're all right, right?"
Cameron nodded again and again in affirmation, "You know what? Renly and I practiced an opposite scene just now, no, it's not quite right, ah, I don't know how to describe it, in short, that is, Renly really When you are in the state, the feeling is completely different, it is really amazing, those characters and ideas hidden in your body will naturally be drawn out...”
"But the premise is that you need to know your role," Hannah added.
Cameron thought about it, then nodded affirmatively, "That's true. I mean, I've watched all of Edmond's documentary material, and I know his tone, expression, and rhythm, but I'm not sure how to fit in. to the show and then to face Renly…”
The words stopped again here, and seemed to fall into his own contemplation.
"It came out naturally." Hannah added the second half of the sentence for Cameron.
Cameron nodded again and again, "Yes. Yes, that's it."
"Huh, then I'm relieved." Hannah let out a long breath, "You know what? I just went to the lounge to get coffee, chatted with Rooney, and mentioned your nervousness, obviously you're not sure what to do with yourself. , and then Renly offered to help, and he was willing to talk to you."
"God, I'm not sure if it's my delusion, I always feel that Renly is very gentle, more gentle than what I saw on the Sundance live broadcast, but a little stiff, I don't know how to describe it... uh, I think for sure I am neurotic and misunderstood, you can ignore my paradoxical thoughts…”
Hannah rambled about what happened in the lounge just now, and completed the puzzle for Cameron, but Cameron did not respond, but gradually fell into her own thoughts, and couldn't help but think about it again. Started Renly's message on his black notepad.
"To my dear Cameron,
You can be any actor you want to be. Now that you've started dreaming, why not dream bigger
yours,
Renly-Hall. "
Such a simple remark, but you can see Renly's serious thinking, which fell deeply into Cameron's heart, driving him to work harder and focus more.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
But he didn't expect that less than a week after the first meeting between the two, he was already standing in front of Renly performing, and he still took the initiative by himself. And the happy dream made him want to laugh.
Then, the corners of his mouth rose, but the heat and excitement in his mind turned into motivation - he knew that he had to be more determined and focused, or the next performance would probably be screwed up; and he definitely didn't want to screw up, Especially the opposite actors are their idols.
With a flash of light in his mind, Cameron interrupted Hannah, "You mean, is Renly practicing?"
"What?" Hannah didn't understand.
"I mean, Renly is practicing Holden's looks and habits in everyday life, living the Holden way, thinking the Holden way, etc." Cameron paused at this point, and then Hannah They also froze in place, both of them fell into their own thoughts, and the waves were stormy.
It is impossible to describe exactly what this feeling is: admiration? Or... fear
…
After turning to leave, Renly put Cameron behind him for a while, not knowing the conversation between Cameron and Hannah, but even if he knew, Renly wouldn't care: in his view, these integrations The performance of life still has not found the correct rhythm, and still needs more running-in.
Because of burnout and laziness, Renly's understanding and capture of the character seems to lack some sparks. At the same time, Renly's enthusiasm and focus when he put into the performance have also dropped a lot. These differences in details all affect the presentation of the character. It was absolutely impossible before.
For Renly, he needs more time to adjust and more energy to invest.
The only thing fortunate is that the role of Holden is indeed a gradual development and transformation. There is no need to exert force in the initial stage of the drama, and the whole performance is relatively light and simple; moreover, Holden itself has many rules and regulations. It seems that the characters are all framed, which also means that Renly only needs to figure out these frames, and then follow the frame performances to meet the requirements at the beginning of the series.
This is not difficult.
The reduced burden allowed Renly to really get back to basics and figure out some basic performances, and Renly could indeed play lightly: David wasn't talking nonsense.
It is precisely because of this that Renly has always been trying to figure out the role, and through more talk, more action, and more communication, he has sculpted Horton's personality bit by bit and adjusted the proportions of his performance bit by bit. Through different interactions, Holden is placed in a corresponding situation, simulates a real reaction, and then adjusts according to the effect, large or small, and finally finds the most correct and appropriate way of performing.
It's like... It's like a shape game for babies under three years old when they are learning to speak: on top of a hexahedron, each side has a different shape, square, rectangle, pentagon, circle, etc.; then there are corresponding cubes next to it. , they need to find the correct position, fit it completely, and then they can put the cube into the hexahedron.
Now, Renly is in the process of doing just that.
To others, it looked dull, cumbersome, even tiring—and so did Renly, maybe not before, but now it is. However, Renly still insisted, because he needed such a process, and then gradually let himself focus on it, and things became easier.
Gradually, Renly groped for a little bit, and though tired, he finally got something.
