Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 105: Accumulate and sharpen

    For the next two days, the crew repeatedly filmed this scene in the restaurant, which was the opposite scene between Sean and Pacino. The filming was very slow. Christopher, as the director, either watched the filming without saying a word, or stopped for more than ten minutes from time to time to discuss the next precautions with them in detail.

    In short, in the past two days, they tried many shooting methods, such as Sean's small movements or more body language, Pacino only used words and expressions to perform, or it was reversed. There are even two people who only use words and expressions, no small gestures at all, and pay attention to small gestures and use less expressions.

    "You're wasting your time." Warner producer Hilary Seitz couldn't help but privately reminded Christopher.

     "Don't worry, it won't delay the progress." Christopher didn't care, since he would make such a request, he was naturally sure that he would not delay.

    He asked Sean and Pacino to try as many performances as possible, specifically, the combination of various performances mentioned earlier.

    " Robin and Al have had several rivalry scenes before, but that is a style, a more intense confrontation, and you here is another style, a contradiction that is not revealed, I Hope to use a different style to reflect more about the complexity of human nature." Christopher said at the time.

    Pacino hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but Sean agreed immediately. To give an example of Christopher's style, the description of the unpredictable human nature must be one of them. Human nature is always complex, no one can figure out the laws of human nature, and Christopher is also very happy to show this in the film, so his work seems to have depth.

    Judging from Christopher's requirements, although the script did not meet his requirements, he still tried his best to show his own style in the shooting, especially the psychological conflict designed for the old policeman Will, which is very characteristic . Therefore, since he has such a request, Sean is happy to help, and he can also hone his acting skills by the way.

    This is not a joke, although Harp is only a supporting role, and he doesn't have much room to play, he was killed by Will soon after his appearance, but if you don't want to mess with the restaurant scene, if you want to It takes some work to perform well.

    The previous "Death Illusion" and "Sniper Phone Booth" allowed Sean to try out a flamboyant and outspoken way of performing, especially the latter, which brought his personal skills to the fullest, so now Retry restrained acting.

    From last year to the present, he has taken on several films one after another, which may seem messy, but in fact they are all purposeful. Some are optimistic about the box office and word of mouth, some are to expand contacts and relationships, and some are big productions that Frederick never forgets, but most of them are to hone acting skills.

    Sean needs to have his own performance style. Any well-known and widely known star has his own performance style, no matter whether the style is good or bad. Even Kevin Spacey, who won the best actor last year, is known as Kevin Spacey, who has countless personalities and can be ever-changing. This change is also one of the performance styles.

    Without their own, strong performance style, it is difficult for people to remember.

    It may sound a bit contradictory. On the one hand, it must be integrated into the role so that the audience cannot see that it is performing. , which is completely two directions. However, it is precisely because of this that there are so few real palace-level actors. Only those who can deal with this contradiction perfectly and achieve a certain balance can be qualified to climb to the highest peak.

    Sean can't think that far now, the most important thing for him at the moment is to hone his acting skills, first summarize his own style and then talk about it. From this point of view, the actor who can get the "Genius Ripley" is really lucky, because there are both introverted and extroverted plots in this movie, and the weights are similar, and he will not be let down from the beginning. Lean to one side and try and accumulate as much as possible.

    And the Happ of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was a surprise. At first, I just wanted to get along with the Nolan brothers and the couple, but I didn't expect this simple supporting role to have a place to play. And it's the restrained way of acting that is just needed. At the same time, there are not many. It is just such a place that he can carefully sculpt it. Even if the effect of the editing is not good, it does not matter. By the way, he can also leave a good impression on Christopher. It can be said that he can kill several birds with one stone.

    In addition, you can communicate with Pacino. Although he is old, as one of the representatives of method acting, his rich experience is worth listening to.

    And Pacino is also willing to share his experience with Sean, especially after knowing his real age, he is more surprised and more interested.

    "I really didn't expect that you are only 21 years old, and suddenly you feel old." Pacino said very emotionally.

      ."

    "In fact, I didn't say anything. Sometimes personal experience is ten times more effective than reading books or TV and trying to figure it out. Several well-known police officers have talked and asked them how they would feel in this situation, etc. Before the filming starts, you must be fully prepared." Talking about his acting experience, he immediately became a little excited and quite excited. proud.

    Well, method actors of their generation are good at experiencing life, like his eponymous Robert De Niro, who was filming Taxi Driver and Raging Bull Take the time to be a taxi driver and a boxer. When Pacino starred in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" when he won the best actor, he also blindfolded his eyes and tried the life of a blind person. They have paid much more experience than other actors, so they are qualified to be proud and pride.

    "Indeed, when I was on the set of "Boys Don't Cry", I had to cut my hair short and dress as a man all day, and put thick socks in my pants to feel it. Useful," said Hilary Swank, who was sitting next to the film's heroine, who won the Best Actress Oscar two years ago.

    "It's really important to experience life. Although I didn't go to the police station to investigate like Al did, I found a consultant through my agent before I came here, and I learned what the next actor needs when playing a police officer. I paid attention to things and practiced at home for a few days, hoping to perform well by then." Sean continued.

    "Speaking of which, the restaurant scene touched me deeply, and I couldn't help but think of some things from middle school. At that time, we liked to play pranks in school, like "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" It's like that inside, but it's not that bad. But once it crossed the line and caused a bad impact, so the school conducted a severe investigation, and then a classmate who had a good relationship with me couldn't stand the pressure and made a deal with the school. I I can understand his feelings, but I can't accept his actions. When I was performing that scene, I couldn't help but recall that he still had a last resort in my mind, so..." He didn't finish, just shrugged. shrugged.

    After a few seconds, Sean sighed: "It's a pity that it wasn't me who did that, so I understand his feelings very superficially, but I understand Al's role more deeply. "

    "Then why don't we just shoot it again tomorrow, and then we switch roles?" Pacino said immediately, which led to a few laughs.

    "You have done a very good job, Sean, you have given me a great surprise." Christopher, who was sitting on the other side, said immediately, "Although I can't fully express the emotions in my heart , but you're doing really well for a young actor your age."

    "Don't listen to him, Sean, you have done a perfect job, everyone thinks that Christo is just subconsciously critical." Emma Thomas immediately interjected, "He A perfectionist in a way."

    "Do I look like a perfectionist?" Christopher rhetorically.

    "If Jonathan is here, he will definitely agree with me." Emma smiled slightly.

    "I have to agree?" Christopher said teasingly.

    Seeing the arguing between the couple, whether it was Pacino, Hillary, or Sean, couldn't help but laugh.

    It took another two days and a lot of energy to set the restaurant and the crew a little more time to rest, because the scenes here are basically completed, and the rest, such as the scenes of the police station , as well as the seaside drama, have to go to British Columbia, Canada to continue.

    British Columbia links Alaska and Washington State, as the westernmost province of Canada, in terms of living environment, it is not much different from Alaska, so the pictures that can be shot in Alaska are in Britain Colombia can also shoot, plus a series of Canadian film reduction policies, it is normal for the crew to make this choice.

    So after dinner, Sean, Pacino and the Nolans sat and chatted, and then Hilary Swank joined in as the heroine or prospective heroine of the movie - After all, the film is the main line of the confrontation between two old men - although I was resting for the past two days, but I did not leave the crew, and there was a scene of her to be shot soon, so I took this opportunity to chat with them.

    And she seems to be very interested in Sean. She also watched the filming of the past two days. Sean took the initiative to join the crew and heard about the relationship with Christopher. Appreciation of him, and everyone around him sees it. In this case, she naturally wants to chat with him.

    However, Sean is thankful and insensitive, Hillary is not his type, although he prefers temperament women, and is not particularly harsh on appearance, but Hillary's facial lines It's too hard, almost like a man. Although Kate's facial lines are also a little hard, but not to this extent, no wonder Hillary will play "Boys Don't Cry" and win awards for it, so... just chat.
