Best Actor

    "No, what are you trying to fool me again?!" After a moment of silence, Jennifer suddenly shouted, and then looked at Sean with vigilance and suspicion.

    "Huh?" Sean was inexplicable, "How did I fool you, am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

    "Of course!" Jennifer answered firmly, without the slightest hesitation, as if she thought so from the bottom of her heart.

     Sean was stunned for a long time, and then he looked like he was shocked, and at this time, Jennifer responded.

    "No, I mean...I mean..." She stammered to explain, but she couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and she seemed to be jumping in a hurry.

    Fortunately, there was nothing on the crew at this time, allowing her to adjust her emotions.

    "Damn, why is it always like this...especially you guy..." Jennifer complained repeatedly, and after taking a few deep breaths, she finally calmed herself down.

    "Although this is very strange, but what I want to say is..." She looked at him, seeming a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little curious, "You can always make women unguarded in front of you, Xiao kindness."

     Sean, who was still somewhat inexplicable, fell silent unexpectedly after hearing this.

    "I don't know how to describe it, but in front of you, after a few contacts with you, I unconsciously become very relaxed, like... It's like..." Jennifer tried her best to Look for the words in your own mind, "reliable, fun, safe and...and..."

    "Harmless." Sean answered suddenly.

    "Yes, that's right, that's it." Jennifer slapped her.

    "Well, at least it's not basically harmless (see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)." Sean laughed self-deprecatingly, and women have said that to him more than once, most recently Jordana, and Earliest…

    "Anyway, it's because of this..." Jennifer looked at him, smiled wryly, and made meaningless gestures, not knowing what to say.

    "Then," after being silent for a while, Sean finally spoke again, and cautiously, "Now... are you... okay?"

    "Keko and I are okay, after all we are..." Jennifer sighed, then gave him a hateful look, "Lisa has been very cold, and only recently started talking to us, You'd better not go in, or she might lose her temper on the spot if she sees you."

    Speaking of this, she suddenly showed a vigilant look: "How did you come to the set? You are no longer an actor in the crew, how could you come here without permission."

      I'm in."

    "The gaffer?" Jennifer thought of the guy who handed him the note, but Sean didn't answer.

    "Anyway, Jane, it was an accident, a serious accident, I'm sorry, I apologize very sincerely to you, and to Koko and Lisa, I hope you don't hate it for it Me." He said sincerely with his hands folded.

    "What makes you think, I will forgive you." Jennifer seemed a little bit angry.

    "If you're really angry, you won't come out." Sean replied calmly, but Jennifer became more and more upset: "Really?"

    "Well, if you really won't forgive me, then I can't help it, but at least I expressed my apology." Sean sighed.

    Seeing him like this, Jennifer suddenly felt a little embarrassed, hesitated, and finally sighed: "Okay, I can forgive you, Sean, but don't think I will still be like before To you. Also, don't use your eyes to discharge me in the future, and I can't guarantee that Keke and Lisa will forgive you too."

    "It doesn't matter, it's enough to have this sentence," Sean let out a long sigh, showing an inner smile, "At least I won't have to hide from you in other places in the future."

    Jennifer's expression changed slightly, then she snorted lightly, and walked to the studio without saying a word, but after two or three steps, she turned around and glanced at him before continuing. go ahead.

    Seeing Jennifer entering the studio, Sean let out a sigh of relief. Then, he suddenly slapped his thigh in annoyance and forgot to sign an autograph for Galen.

    Well, it doesn't matter, let him ask Jennifer for an autograph at the party in the future, I don't know if he still has such interest at that time.

    …

    Although this is Sean's private life during this time, it would be a big mistake to think that this is all. After finalizing the salary of 300,000, and Frederick getting two-thirds of the advance payment for him, Federico Cicciarelli has no small actions for the time being, and William Holberg seems to have no idea about it. , has been busy with the final preparatory work, but unfortunately Frederick has already inquired around the corner. When discussing the salary that day, Hoberg and Chicharelli did meet.

    So, it's just the calm before the storm, but it's just right that Sean needs time to digest the script. So he went around asking for opinions and opinions, listening to their evaluation and understanding of the characters, just like at Naomi's house that day, Frederick and Galen did not let it go, if it weren't for Polk and Lucy who don't understand people If so, he definitely wouldn't mind consulting them.

    In addition, there are also some important people in the scope of consultation, such as Roy Walker who is the art director of "Genius Ripley".

    "Under normal circumstances, I don't have time to communicate with the actors, but since Anthony thinks he can take the time to give you a brief introduction, then come." In Walker's studio, this nearly 50 The first sentence of the middle-aged man said so.

    "Thank you, Mr. Walker." Sean made a modest look.

    During this period, the only time he sought director Mingella was to get permission to communicate with the heads of various departments. As he and Naomi said, his only advantage now is acting, why does Mingla insist on using himself? It's nothing more than recognition of his acting skills. If you don't work hard to enrich yourself, master this role, and maintain this advantage, you will give the coveted enemy a chance to attack.

    "Art direction is a comprehensive job, we need to coordinate the lighting, sound, photography and other aspects with the whole story, let them serve the director, and at the same time make the director's intention clear Convey it to all departments." Walker handed seven or eight single paintings to Sean as he spoke.

    These are all black and white paintings. Sean, who has read the original novels and scripts countless times, recognized the scenes at a glance. There was Ripley when he was leaving from New York, Ripley was chatting with him and his girlfriend Maggie at Dick's Italian villa, and there was one he was most familiar with, and it was Freddie coming to find Ray who was pretending to be Dick's life. In Pulley's case, Freddy's mocking smile came alive.

    "The angle of the lens and the light, as well as the emotions of the characters, are shown through such paintings, right?" Sean asked.

      The beginning, development, climax and end." Walker said and took the other two documents, "If you want to communicate in detail with the lighting engineer, prop engineer, and photographer, you should use this."

    Two folders, one very thick and one very thin, turned it over a little, and Sean understood it, the thick one is the split shot script, which specifies the angle of each shot in a table format , operation and effect to be achieved. The thin one is a large stack of drawn sub-shots. Although it is very scribbled, many times the characters are several shapes of different sizes. At most, shadows are used to express the three-dimensional effect, but with the sub-shot script, it is very easy See what to say and how to shoot.

    " Therefore, the work of the art director is very important, which is directly related to whether each department of the crew can fully express the director's intention. There was once a kid who claimed that drawing a shot is useless, it will only limit the director It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The main responsibility of the director is to communicate, to let the actor let the crew understand what he wants and what he wants, and pictures can express the author more clearly than words. If you want to give up drawing a sub-shot, you are giving up efficiency. For filmmaking, this is suicidal behavior. Moreover, if a few sub-shots will limit the director’s imagination, then the director can only say that he is incompetent.” Walker chattered. said.

    Then, after a pause, he suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

    Sean, who was looking at the storyboard and composition, raised his head: "I've heard a saying, Mr. Walker, no matter how good a memory is, it's better than a pencil that's about to rot. Many novels The author always carries a small notebook with him. Once he has an inspiration, he immediately jots it down. Maybe it will never be used, and it may become the best paragraph. I think the same is true for the composition of the shot. It can not only effectively let all departments understand the director Whatever you want, you can also inspire the director to a certain extent.”

    "Like you?" Walker pointed to the small book he put in his jacket pocket, showing a small section, smiling, and seemed satisfied with his answer.

    "Forget it," Sean smiled, "As long as it can help me figure out the role's emotions, I don't mind trying, the director trusts me, and I have to be worthy of this Trust. Of course, all these collected items can only be used as a reference, and it depends on the director's intentions."

    "You're very nice, Sean." Walker looked at him for a while, then touched his chin.

    "Thank you, Mr. Walker," Sean maintained his politeness, "then can you please explain to me in detail now, the flow of the whole story, and the role of each character in it Happening."

    "No problem," Walker patted him on the shoulder. "Also, call me Roy."
