Chapter 276 Performing in front of the actor
Tom Hanks was sitting next to the stove at home wearing a sweater. In front of him was a female host in professional clothes. When the flames burned by the stove and the "crackling" sound of dry firewood being burned out, two cameras were aimed at him in the camera.
This is a scene taken on the set of "Dear", which tells the story of Tom Hanks being interviewed by the media when he lost his child and was on the road to defending his rights.
"Prepare."
After Shao Yingxiong shouted, he spoke: "Start!"
The female host is a temporary actor who was looking for in Hollywood. She doesn't need any acting skills in this drama. The only thing she wants to perform is to cry: "What is your state after Etan is lost?" The female host said the only line in the drama. The next thing she had to do was to brew emotions and shed tears.
Tom Hanks was very serious. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth squirmed slightly. This was a habit, just like someone suddenly grinning and blinking in his life, which would make the role he played more realistically.
He put his hands on his abdomen, his index fingers were linked, and he said quietly: "I'm sorry, I really don't know what I was in at that time."
The subsequent silence was the close-up shot of Tom Hanks sitting there, lowering his head and looking straight at his feet. He did nothing, leaving a blank of about ten seconds. This was not for the convenience of the later soundtrack, but from the actor's perspective, the character, after he had already embarked on the road to defending his rights, it would take some time to calm down when the incident happened.
"Ah, I only know... I just know that I'm not going to see the road when I go out on the street. My gaze will always stay at Etan's height. When I suddenly find a child who is similar to Etan and has a similar body shape, regardless of whether the other party's parents are around to look carefully. Haha..." Tom Hanks' smile directly touched Shao Yingxiong's heart. But Shao Yingxiong could really see that he was not self-deprecating, but really glad: "For this, I was slapped four times." He was glad that he had not been beaten up.
Tom Hanks held his smile very bitterly, as if he had just hung his smiling face on his face and took it back little by little at a speed that was within reach of the naked eye: "I can understand the person who beat me. If Etan was by my side now and there was such a person close to my son, I would beat him to death, I swear."
"During that time, I didn't have the heart to work, and there seemed to be a feeling in my mind, as if Etan was not far from me. As long as I worked hard, I could get him back. So, as long as I could open my eyes, I kept searching in this city. I knew every street in this city. It was under construction. There was KFC on that street that allowed me to take a break when I was tired. That street could only go during the day, and someone would snatch his wallet at night. I knew better than the police."
He raised his head, narrowed his eyes with itchy corners. After rubbing his fingers twice, "I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to hear my wife's crying sound when I go home, I don't know how to persuade him. Every time I want to persuade him, I feel like a liar, because I promised to find Etan more than a million times tomorrow, but I haven't been able to do it until today."
Bang.
Tom Hanks reached out and patted his thighs lightly. When the slap came out, the heartfelt enthusiasm was played by Tom Hanks without tears or howling...
"For a while, I didn't even dare to meet my friends, just because I was afraid that they would mention Etan. Host, are these things considered in the state at that time?"
When he looked at the host, he pointed his hand at his eyes and said, "You are crying."
Hearing this sentence that should have ended the camera, Shao Yingxiong reached out and rubbed his eyes: "It's past."
Shao Yingxiong's back of his hands was wet, and Tom Hanks used this performance to blur his vision.
Denzel Washington also reached out and wiped his eyes, then entered the scene and said to the actress: "It was a good performance, and the time for tears was just right."
The actress shook her head and said, "I really want to admit that it was my credit, but I did nothing, it was him."
The translation of this sentence means that the dominant person of the whole play is Tom Hanks. Whether she crying is completely controlled by Tom Hanks, especially the last sentence "You are crying". A father who lost his child did not shed a single tear when he told this matter, but instead made the female host unconsciously cry. This is what this shot expresses.
When Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks walked out of the shooting scene to chat, Shao Yingxiong said to Haiqing next to him: "See what did you see?"
Haiqing's eyes were rosy, and even his words were like crying: "Genius."
"Boss Shao, I didn't see him looking for a feeling at the scene, why...?"
Shao Yingxiong laughed: "You didn't see it when you work hard, not when you work hard. What do you do in the hotel every day? Apart from the documentary and information I found for you, I guess there is only the script left? As far as I know, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington visited the parties involved in this incident and their neighbors respectively before joining the crew. Just watching them chat on the spot, I think this is a natural acting skill? You are thinking too much."
"It's ready, why did he show off at the scene without any effort?" Hai Qing didn't understand.
Shao Yingxiong pointed to Tom Hanks, who was frozen on the monitor and said, "It's not for you or me, it's Denzel Washington. These two people are very good at acting. This movie is not difficult for them. If they show too much effort in this movie, they both lose people in front of both sides, and they have to take it down with ease, which is considered a skill. I also tell you clearly that these two people are definitely not working less in private than you and me, and they may have more than both of us."
"What should I do? Tomorrow will be your drama, and I will shoot me the day after tomorrow. If you say that, will I still act?"
Shao Yingxiong looked at the monitor and said, "Why don't you not act? That's not how the actor came here?"
"I'm afraid of embarrassing."
"If you haven't lost someone, you will never know what the difference is."
This is what Shao Yingxiong said in his heart. If he is not embarrassed when he can, he always thinks he is good. If he wants to teach this and point out that, you will always be a joke in the eyes of others. Only when he can expose all his shortcomings and see the chillest part through comparison can he truly improve.
When his acting skills have reached a certain level, it is impossible to step into the top of the pyramid by himself. When he cannot face the audience directly, this is the only way Shao Yingxiong can think of, that is, to force himself to death.
After the day of shooting, Shao Yingxiong returned to the hotel and started to find a feeling. When he filmed his scene tomorrow, he probably wouldn't be there. This pressure might be less. After all, he could slowly figure it out and analyze it on the spot alone. Even if the progress is slowed down, it would be fine. At worst, the filming would be late.
That night, Shao Yingxiong slowly fell asleep under the accumulation of various materials, and even dreamed about how to promote every step of the performance.
The moment he woke up early in the morning, he deliberately did not take a shower, and his short hair slept to the side, and his whole body remained at the moment when he was just awake, and he had to keep this feeling in his heart.
Today, the crew of "Dear" moved from the studio to the street to film the street. If you want to shoot real scenes in Hollywood, you can only block the street. You can also use large-scale performances of the entire street. Otherwise, if the real citizens are taken into the camera without paying them any fees, they will be sure of you. What's more, Shao Yingxiong's scene was filmed in 1996, that is, the last lost child among the three children. In this era, the car should be running on the street and not running on the street. The clothing requirements are very high. If the street is not closed, it is impossible to shoot.
More importantly, Shao Yingxiong needs to be immersed in it. This is not like a commercial film. You can move forward by finding the right feeling. If Shao Yingxiong is not immersed in it, the content expressed in the green set may be greater than that of the two Oscar actors.
la On a street that seems not so developed, the shop took away everything that did not belong to that era after getting the money given by the crew. Of course, this was also a rough process at the request of the crew. After all, the film was not very invested, and there were five scenes in the whole drama that needed to be filmed in real scenes. Except for Shao Yingxiong, Tom Hanks, and Denzel Washington each had a scene looking for children on the street, the remaining two scenes were interviews on the streets with three people in the moment when protecting rights and appeared in the pursuit of missing children.
Before filming, Shao Yingxiong confirmed his performance on the spot and re-lit up the possible misunderstandings in his heart, that is, he is looking for a child, and never see the scene of looking for something in Hollywood movies, whenever there are shots of looking for something, he will look up around to look at the buildings, because someone is looking for a location and a building is a sign, and he is looking for a child aimlessly. It is wrong to see the buildings themselves.
"I'm fine, I can start!"
Shao Yingxiong shouted at the deputy director across the street. At this time, he saw two figures that shouldn't have appeared in front of the monitor, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.
Teng.
When they saw them, Shao Yingxiong's heart suddenly sucked to his throat. When they came, the pressure increased rapidly, and they could not drive them away...
"Prepare!"
After Tom Hanks, who had been director, shouted, Denzel Washington said with pleasure: "Start!"
Chapter completed!
