“Daniel, we will shoot the scene where you are tied to the chair later. You need to show confusion and fear. You need to feel it first.”

“ok director”.

Daniel Kaluuya took the script and went to a secluded place to brew.

Martin called Scarlett again,”Scarlett, the emotions you need to express are also more complicated. You don’t love Daniel, he is prey, but at the same time, you also need to reveal a little bit of resistance, as a normal person.” If you do this kind of hunting for your family for a long time, you will feel some resistance in your heart.”

“clear.”

Ten minutes later.

Martin:”Everyone pay attention, let’s do it again first, Patek, pay attention to adjusting the angle of the camera.”

Martin gave an order, and everyone stepped away from the camera. Daniel Kaluuya, Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener, who played the heroine’s parents, and the heroine who played”Four Nine Seven” Scarlett, the Lord, also expressed that she was ready

“《”Escape” Act 12, Scene 22, ACTION.”

Martin sat behind the monitor, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen.

Daniel Kaluuya’s experience of playing small roles in various crews of Meyers Films over the years was not in vain. His acting skills have been matured and matured. This black guy himself is also very smart in his performance.

When the sound of the spoon clinking against the tea cup came to mind, Daniel Kaluuya showed a blank look on his face.

The camera slowly zoomed in, giving a close-up of his eyes.

On the monitor , deep in the confusion in Daniel Kaluuya’s eyes, there is also deep fear.

This very layered performance method is called”emotional progressive performance”. The performer must control the intensity of emotional release, It is very difficult to achieve this effect.

But Daniel Kaluuya performed very well

“Cut! Good performance! This one passed.”

Martin stood up from the director’s chair and walked to Scarlett,”Scarlett, when you come on stage, look at Daniel first, and then look at your ‘parents’, pay attention to what emotions I need, You should know.

Then he said to the two white actors playing the parents:”I will give you two a close-up shot later. I need you to have that condescending and arrogant attitude.” Catherine (playing the mother), the emotion you need to express may be more intense. You have to bring yourself into a weird psychiatrist. You look down at Daniel like a god from above.……”

Martin’s storytelling has always been very detailed. He needs actors to express what they want more accurately, so in Martin’s movies, actors don’t have much room to express themselves freely.

This may make it difficult for those classic shots that were achieved by accident to happen, but it also reduces the occurrence of accidents and greatly increases the shooting efficiency of the crew.

In fact, directors like Martin are the favorites of major studios.

For example, a director like King of Sunglasses who likes to let actors perform freely is definitely a nightmare for investors and production companies!

“Drew, when will the deer props I want be delivered?”

“I’ve already called to hurry up. I’ll be here in about fifteen minutes.”

“OK, Daniel and Scarlett, in fifteen minutes we will film the scene of you hitting and killing the deer. You can brew your emotions first.”

“Got it, Mr. Meyers”

“Got it, Honey.”

Sofia silently took notes in her notebook. She had already used most of this thick notebook, and what was written in it were her feelings during the filming process.

“Deer: In the script, details related to deer appear three times: the first time is when his girlfriend Ruth drove Chris home and hit a deer. The second time was when Ruth’s father heard that they had killed a deer, and he said meaningfully that there was a deer dead, and there were thousands of other deer. The third time was when Chris stabbed Ruth’s father to death with antlers.”

“Martin made deer appear so many times in the film, which is obviously a metaphor.

In the mid-19th century, American farmers often used the term”black stag” to describe those black people who refused to surrender to white people, so in the play The deer represents black people, and what Ruth’s father said shows his discrimination against black people.

Black people are no different from deer.

If one dies, there will be more.

In the end, Chris stabbed Ruth’s father to death with antlers, which represented the resistance from black people.

“Not only that, there is a hidden thread in the plot of Ruth and Chris hitting and killing a deer. Martin said that he will add a montage of Chris recalling the death of his mother in a car accident to this plot. In this way, after the plot, Half of the plot where Chris hit the black maid who wanted to harm him but saved her later became more reasonable…….. ”

“There are really details everywhere.”Sofia concluded.

The filming continues day by day.

The actors are getting better and better.

Soon, Betty Gabriel’s most glorious performance will be filmed.

“Betty, although this scene is a little difficult, I believe it is nothing to you. You just need to show your performance in the audition. You should know what kind of smile I want. You have to convey it to others. A feeling of smiling and sad. It would be even more perfect if it could be done like during the audition, with only one eye crying.”

“Director, I have no problem.”

Betty Gabriel said confidently.

Martin smiled and patted her shoulder,”Well, I believe you are fine.”

As the filming progressed, Martin fell in love with this black actress more and more.

Of course, it was not the kind of love between men and women, but the love of a director who met a promising actor, just like Bole saw it Maxima.

Although Betty Gabriel is young, her acting skills already make Martin feel like a natural.

It’s a pity that she is not beautiful, otherwise she may not be able to become the protagonist and support a feature film.

“Scene 96, Act 12, ACTION!”

Martin sat behind the monitor, crossed his legs, supported his chin on his palms, and stared at Betty Gabriel in the camera seriously.

4.0 She stood in front of the window and looked out the window with a strange look in her eyes. When she saw the protagonist Chris After noticing her, he showed a hypocritical smile.

The next second, a line of tears flowed out of her left eye involuntarily.

The camera zoomed in. A close-up of her eyes.

The strong contradictory emotions came from Betty Gabriel In her eyes, it was like two souls fighting in her body, which made Martin marvel.

“Cut! Great, I passed this, take a ten minute break”

“Betty, how are you feeling? Do you need to be adjusted by the psychiatrist working with you?”

“No, I can do it myself, thank you Mr. Meyers”

“No, just call me Martin.”

Betty Gabriel was overjoyed.

(Brothers, please take care of me and give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.).
