Roy watched the back go away. That's not Renly.
The back figure did not stoop listlessly, but worked hard to straighten his waist. You can notice the straight waist and the slightly strained shoulders. The slightly tight muscles pulled the line of the suit jacket, revealing that The traces of exertion, but even so, the spine still seems to be unable to be completely straightened, and the thin shoulders are heavy forward and retracted, as if... as if they are bearing an incomparably heavy pressure, the invisible heavy pressure is almost It's about crushing the fragile bones to shreds.
The calm profile of the face is always bright under the flow of light and shadow, the cigarette at the corner of the mouth hangs down low, there is no smoke, but it outlines a touch of loneliness and loneliness between the eyebrows, lightly lingering in the deep eyes. There is no special expression, just like a calm lake, but there are shallow ripples in the corners of the mouth accompanied by the slight tug of the cigarette, and there always seems to be emotions surging under the unfathomable dark green lake. , unknown, but always there.
There is no special force and outline, the whole performance is in a natural and flowing state, and there is no trace of carving between the gestures and gestures. More importantly, the seemingly bland performance makes every audience full of bitterness. Roy couldn't describe it exactly. The man in front of him was not sad, not desperate, not in pain, not even a trace of turbulence, but the ubiquitous but indescribable emotion was like a boulder, ruthless. The ground pressed against his chest, making people breathless in the silence.
Roy couldn't believe his brain: he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything; he didn't act, but it seemed that everything was in place. This is the only thought in his mind at the moment, but, even if he finds this self-contradictory statement absurd, he doesn't know what kind of performance this is, it's like... It's as if the man went from soul to appearance , truly existed, truly experienced stormy seas and vicissitudes of life, truly returned to calm and ordinary, and truly appeared in front of his eyes.
Five seconds? Or ten seconds? In just a few breaths, Renly transformed into a completely unfamiliar figure, his handsome face seemed to have become ordinary, it was definitely not Renly. Even though he witnessed everything on the spot, Roy still couldn't believe his eyes—
It's just that Roy is still a little unsure. Is this Henry Bart
"Transcendence" is Roy's first work after cooperating with Renly. In order to be fully prepared, he read the script several times, not only to understand the characters, the script, the shooting process, but also to understand Lanly. The style of ritual, as well as the form of art. Therefore, Roy also has a deep understanding of the role of Henry, but Roy is not sure about the performance just now.
"Card!"
Tony's shouts interrupted the shooting, and there was a buzz of discussion on the set. Not astonishment, but surprise, or disappointment. Renly's performance was not as earth-shattering as expected.
Yes, they know that this scene is very simple; yes, they know that it is unrealistic to have an explosion of acting skills on the first day of the show; These, they all know. But with the fame, they're always looking forward to something special, new, and dazzling. Even they themselves don't know what they expect.
For Sammy and other amateur actors, it was even more confusing and did not understand at all.
Tony walked forward quickly, frowned, and came to Renly's side, without any pause or hesitation, he asked bluntly, "What the hell is going on just now? Sadness? What I want is sadness and despair! Where is your performance?" Tony's temper immediately came up, his tone was heavy, his impatience was not covered up, and he rushed up in an aggressive manner while questioning with anger.
Renly opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Tony seemed to be igniting a firecracker and continued to speak, "I don't need a handsome guy standing there posing and acting handsome, I need actors, A real actor, a real show! If I'm looking for models, there's a lot of NYC fashion week, and it's not your turn. Could you please give me something real? Henry is a desperate man, he Already overwhelmed with grief, almost suffocating! What was that you just now? Lost lamb? Jesus Christ, even the lost Bambi, its eyes are more alive than yours!"
Renly gave up his defense and let Tony continue to vent.
In fact, this is not surprising. Whether it was the direct shooting without communication and rehearsal, the recklessness and impulsiveness of the first meeting before, or the urgency and directness of several exchanges, all of them can be seen. , Tony is an ignorant person, in his dictionary, there is nothing to take care of face, or what kind of greetings. Art, that's the only thing he cares about, everything is related to art and only art.
What's more, Tony's temper is also irritable and jumpy. The first scene fell short, and Tony's reaction wasn't surprising.
But for the rest of the crew, this was an absolutely unimaginable accident. The reason why the first scene is so special is that the director and the crew will choose scenes that are relatively easy to shoot to ensure that they can pass smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that the smooth passage of the first scene seems to have become a common formula, and the crew has gradually become accustomed to it. The symbolic meaning is left, and it is often just going through the motions, and everyone immediately devotes themselves to the following work.
Not to mention the first scene, most of the first day of shooting was like this, relatively simple.
Suddenly, there was a problem in the first scene, and people were stunned. Then, they saw Tony who was furious and furious, and the members of the crew couldn't help but shut their mouths and looked flustered.
People were exchanging glances hastily, even Roy and Nathan, no one knew what was going on. The first scene is so simple, but Renly's performance is so abnormal, is it because of the busy publicity of "Fast and Furious 5" before that Renly lost his state and never recovered? Or is it because of the sudden popularity that Renly's mentality is still unbalanced and swelled
But what is certain is that no matter what the reason is, the first scene is unfavorable, which is definitely not good news for the crew.
For a while, the atmosphere of the crew became weird. The students in the teaching building held their breaths, stuck to the windows, and cast their gazes cautiously and excitedly. Are they going to fight? Did you see a good show? Is there going to be a great scene
"Say something!" Tony saw Renly standing there without saying a word, the calmness on his face still did not disappear, which made Tony's temper even more violent, originally just eager, and now he has started to get angry a little bit. The right hand that was following the script began to wave in the air, foaming in the mouth.
Renly didn't challenge Tony's authority, gave up the idea of joking, but said directly, "My understanding of the role is different." As Renly expected, hearing the discussion about art, Tony's temper temporarily let go He slowed down, raised his chin, and said breathlessly, "So what's your understanding?"
"Henry's sadness and despair, it is an emotion that slowly penetrates from the bones to the soul. He has given up the struggle, or, in other words, he thought he had given up the struggle. But we can look at his behavior - he became He hired a teacher and tried to bring hope to more children within his ability, but he refused to bond with these children. Before the emotional entanglement, he got away and continued to repeat the previous actions in another school. In short, he is sowing the seeds of hope, but he does not want to continue to cultivate. Why?"
Renly's tirade silenced Tony, who raised his right hand and propped his chin in thought.
The perspectives of directors, screenwriters and actors are completely different, and the artistic expressions presented are also different. Communication is a necessary condition for the success of a film, and many film works are ruined in this link. Tony and Renly are also facing this problem.
"In the script, Henry and three different female characters show his inner emotions bit by bit.
In the face of Sarah's initiative, Henry's retreat shows his coldness and alienation, he knows he is in a bad position, and he has no way to respond to other people's emotional calls for help.
In the face of Meredith's request for help, Henry's hesitation shows his fear and despair. He is trying to help Meredith, but he is worried that there will be more emotional entanglement between the two people. He is incapable of dealing with anyone. Responsible.
In the face of Erica's invasion, Henry's numbness shows his sadness and bitterness. Erica is approaching step by step, he passively helps, but he dares not go further, because he sees in Erica the past. self.
Different relationships show different emotions. Little by little, he showed Henry's emotions. Before meeting these people, to be precise, before the change in his life state, Henry carefully wrapped himself up, lived in his own world, and carefully restrained all his emotions, like a wandering soul, losing his vitality , but still reluctant to leave, just floating without any sense of existence. "
"You mean, this is what you want to show? The effect that looks like stagnant water?" Tony said, finally understanding what Renly meant.
