MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 46 Awareness and response
The scene on the yacht took about three days to complete, not to say that the performance was difficult, Sean made sufficient preparations, there may be problems in some places, but as long as there is more It will adjust after a few visits. It's just that these shots are quite fragmented, and the lighting and set requirements are quite high, so it leads to inefficiency.
Although there are green curtains all around to facilitate the addition of backgrounds in post-production, it is not a set, let alone such a large ship. Under normal circumstances, a detailed set will only be aimed at the range covered by the shots, and the field assistant will check whether the details of the set are in place before each shooting. In this case, the more shots in the same scene, the better the shooting. slow.
What's more, the angle of the light source must be considered, and the light in normal weather must be simulated, and the shooting will be slower.
Of course, none of this is about Sean, he just does his job. In fact, he did a good job too, holding his breath for so long that Minghella publicly praised him for doing a good job.
This is a good thing, with Mingella's praise, plus he often actively or passively help with some chores, before giving Roy Locke and others a good impression, the popularity in the crew It's getting better and better - except for Jude.
Sean doesn't want to guess anything, as long as it doesn't affect the filming of the film, it doesn't matter, as I told Frederick before, as long as he insists on finishing the film, it is a victory . So although these two days were very tiring, in addition to the main part of the yacht, the production team also increased the shooting of other scattered shots, such as where Ripley walked, or where he came out, and what he took and so on.
It is said that this is the opinion of a certain producer, which can save time and efficiency. Sean, who focused on acting, didn't care until Galen reminded him.
"Don't you think there is something wrong with the work arrangement?" Galen frowned, looking at the itinerary, and said to Sean lying on the trailer sofa.
"What's wrong?" Sean sat up and took it.
"It's too full, almost as soon as you enter the crew, you start performing in front of the camera, and it won't stop until the end of the day's shooting, which doesn't give you time to rest at all." Galen said so said.
Hearing this, Sean immediately sat up and looked over again with a solemn expression.
"There is indeed a problem." He said after a moment of indulgence, and he didn't mean to be annoyed. Galen's responsibility was to deal with these things, and it was normal to find out earlier than him.
"Gallen, do something for me..." After thinking carefully, Sean waved and whispered a few words in Galen's ear.
…
On the calm water, a small boat was shaking and floating, and the two men on the boat were arguing loudly.
"You're like a blood-sucking leech sometimes, you know! And...boring...you're really annoying sometimes!" Dick squinted coldly at Ripley, Said in a disgusting tone.
Ripley sat there for a while without speaking, his eyes under the glasses looked choked, and seemed to be about to burst into tears: "It's ridiculous, I didn't pretend to be someone else, but you always do. "
"Tired." Dick repeated.
"I've always been honest with you, but you...I know you're hiding something..." Ripley continued.
At this time, there was a sound of "Cut", so the cameraman operating the camera on the landing platform, the drama assistant who was immersed in the water and supported the boat, as well as the lifter outside the pool The microphone operators holding the boom stopped.
Minghella stood on the other side, frowning tightly, and after a while he walked to the edge of the pool where the boat was leaning, and then greeted the photographer: "If the lens passes from this angle, then the frame's Reflection, can it make him look, or give the audience a look like he is about to cry."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured in front of Sean. Obviously, the reason for the call just now was that his performance was not in place.
"Besides, Sean, you have a lot of small movements. If you can't control them well, then don't do them at all!" Then he said something stern to him.
Sean opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but in the end he just sighed in his heart and nodded to show that he understood. After all, he is indeed not in a good state. In fact, his state has not been very good today.
However, the more it got to this point, the more composure Sean became. While Minghella was still discussing with the photographer, he took a deep breath and tried to experience Ripley's feelings as much as possible. In this moment, he enters a state similar to what Brecht advocates, blending into the character but keeping a distance to take control.
In the final analysis, Sean does not approve of Ripley's actions. Strictly speaking, his current mood is very similar to Ripley's. , want to change this. But there are differences. The biggest one is that Ripley cannot control his desires. In Sean's view, it is difficult for a person who cannot control himself to achieve success, so Ripley's tragedy is doomed from the beginning. , Naomi is right.
Whether it’s a temporary breakthrough or a long-term accumulation, Sean who has entered this state can easily grasp the main point of the character, which surprised Mingera a little, so he said that After the angle shot, I did it again and gave a close-up of his eyes.
"You did a great job, Sean, if you were like this in the beginning, we wouldn't have to take more shots." After watching it on the monitor a few times, Minghella half-jokingly said so say him.
However, the picture taken from that angle is still preserved. After all, the effect of the shooting is not bad, and it can also pave the way for Ripley's emotional explosion.
Sean felt a little tired at this time, not physically, but mentally. This feeling is hard to articulate, as if something has been taken out of time. If it was a few days ago, he might not know what was going on, but now he probably realizes that it is not the same as having too many fragmentary shots to shoot. It doesn't matter.
It's very simple, those fragmentary shots are fine if they just go through there, or get things from there, but it's very troublesome to invest in emotions. After all, he is not a machine, and it is impossible to change immediately. He needs to brew and adjust. When the emotions required by the front and rear shots are completely opposite, more time is spent on adjustment.
"Sean." Just as he was about to take a good rest, someone called his name.
Looking at the prestige, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, Sean frowned involuntarily, then walked over and asked in a calm tone: "What's the matter, Huo Mr Burger?"
"Yes, you see, we are building a new set in another studio, and the pool here still needs to be maintained, so we are understaffed. You are helping a little from time to time these days, It happens that there is nothing else to do right now, can you help them?" The other side said with a smile.
Looking at the prop assistant who came with him, Sean nodded calmly: "No problem, Mr. Holberg."
This has been the case since the start of filming, either Hoberger came to him, or Chicharelli came to him - it seems that he has completely fallen to Hoberger. Sean originally thought that the other party was still using the previous trick to force him to complain to Mingera by constantly exerting pressure, but when it comes to Galen's discovery, I am afraid that is not the case.
Soon, this was confirmed.
"You're right, Sean, these schedules were reviewed and arranged by William Holberg," Galen, who went to inquire about news, would finally come, "We've got to find a way. "
Come and help, and they won't assign themselves onerous tasks. But in this way, he doesn't have time to adjust himself and figure out the script, plus constantly shooting those fragmentary footage, his state will slowly decline. Of course, nights and weekends can be closed, but as soon as work starts, it will fall off quickly.
“Then, after a long time, I can’t catch up at all, and they can kick me out for efficiency or whatever,” Sean explained, “After all, my experience It’s still a little less, patronizing to expand contacts, trying to get a good impression, forgetting to save myself, and not seizing the opportunity to adjust myself on the set, so I’ve come to this point.”
He regrets saying this. Harrington also mentioned this when he taught him, but at that time he was studying acting skills, and he was still a long way from acting in movies, so didn't care too much.
"Can't tell the director? He should be aware of it?" Galen asked.
"If you tell the director, then the situation I first told you will happen, and it will be troublesome after many times. As for the latter, the director only cares about how the film is completed, and those fragmentary shots Most of them are handed over to others, even if they happen to see it, they won't care." Sean smiled bitterly.
"Is this the only way?" Galen was a little discouraged.
Sean was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "Gallen, do you remember that... verse in your father's study?"
Then before he could answer, he read in a low voice in Chinese: "The world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, despise me, hate me, deceive me, lie to me, how to deal with me Huh? Just put up with him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and look at him."
"What do you mean?" Galen looked confused. He was only interested in dishes related to China, and Sean knew it, so he immediately explained it.
"That's too negative, isn't it?" Galen immediately exclaimed, "If those two **** keep targeting, are you going to keep pretending not to see? It's not like you would do it matter."
"Of course not," Sean laughed, grinding his teeth lightly, "I mentioned these two sentences just to say that the necessary patience is indispensable. Although they are very good at playing means, but now I have made a fatal mistake, and all I have to do is to wait for this mistake to ferment, and then... push it!"
