Movie Master

Tom is not an acting genius, but he is very diligent, which is Tom's virtue; it is also the reason why Lance has confidence in Tom.

Tom was chosen as the breakthrough point, not only because Tom starred in Michael Mann's version of "Murder with a Borrowing Knife", not only because Tom's star aura can win Lance more negotiating space, but also because of Tom's diligence, hard work and Persistence allows Lance to capitalize on Tom's desire for a statuette, and to actually take his place in the awards season fray.

After the filming of the scene just now, Lance couldn't help but nodded slightly in his heart.

Objectively speaking, is Tom's performance perfect, comparable to talents like Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn? Of course not. After careful observation, you can still feel the "idol" traces in Tom's performance. For example, when he raised the corner of his mouth, the arc seemed to be measured with a tape measure, fully showing Tom's charm; for example, after he bowed his head , the expression is too stiff, as if taking a photo of a magazine cover, more like posing, but there is no story told in the posture and expression... These are still details that cannot be erased in Tom's acting habits .

However, Tom gave the role of Vincent an indescribable charm in the performance just now - not a positive or negative meaning, but a black humor. If Lance's performance is ruthless and decisive, then Tom's performance has a weird sense of irony and comedy. There is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes are cold. The contrast in the light reveals a strong effect under the light; at the same time, Tom's speaking rhythm and tone are not as tough as Lance, but on the contrary, there is a lingering chicness-the habitual charm exudes, but This is in contrast to the extremely tense atmosphere in the carriage, producing a kind of cold humor that the plot itself does not have.

Perhaps, Tom's performance is still not perfect, but Lance can make full use of it. After integrating into the plot, his performance becomes full and full, and Tom also endows Vincent with a completely different vitality.

Acting is a very personal matter. There are a thousand Hamlets for one person. Every actor will give the performance his own brand. This is precisely what Lance likes most about acting. Many people like to experience different lives and different experiences during the performance, but what Lance likes is that the same part of the scene bursts out under the interpretation of different actors. Different charms, or the same actor digs out his own different hearts when performing different roles.

Standing beside him, Tom felt a little nervous, and the feeling of uneasiness made him feel a little uncomfortable. The last time he felt that way was with Stanley Kubrick on "Eyes Wide Shut."

Watching the performance on the monitor, Tom bit the inside of his lip, thinking over and over again, that he should restrain his smile a bit more, his eyes seemed too bright when he was smiling, and his acting rhythm seemed to be too fast ...How did Lance perform just now? Why do memories start to blur in my mind?

"Oh..." Tom couldn't help being a little annoyed, and wailed deep in his heart, his hands crossed on his chest couldn't help but clenched into fists.

"Very good." Lance's voice came from the side, and Tom couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. He knew that he had to take another shot. His performance was still not good enough, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" But After saying that, he saw that Lance had turned around and shouted to Albert, "Get ready for the next scene." This made Tom stand there in a daze.

After waiting for a while, Tom's head finally came to his senses. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and patted Lance's arm, "Are you sure the scene just now was okay? I think there are still some problems with the details."

Lance raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then he understood Tom's nervous expression, "Tom, the greatest part of acting is that every performance is different, and no performance is the same. It can be called perfect." After finishing speaking, Lance smiled, "The one just now has passed, as I said." He patted Tom on the shoulder, and then turned around to prepare for the next scene.

Tom thought about it carefully, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly hooked, and he couldn't help but bloomed, but he immediately put away the smile, let out a long breath, and the shoulders tightened again, because he knew, This is just a scene, and there is still a long way to go before the filming of the entire movie is completed.

"No, there is no need to find extras. We will shoot here. Remove the barriers of the crew, let pedestrians come in, and shoot in a hidden way. The effect will be better." Lance explained to Albert, " By the way, you can ask about the arrangement of the lighting team, the lights of these stores on the roadside need to be adjusted accordingly, so hurry up and discuss with the store."

In this scene, Max's taxi was stopped by the traffic police because the windshield was smashed, and it was parked on the side of the road for review. Therefore, the lights on the roadside need to be adjusted, and the preparation work is relatively cumbersome. This is the time to test Albert.

Albert didn't find it complicated at all, and simply turned around and got busy.

Watching Albert leave, Hayden came over and whispered in Lance's ear, "Even when we were filming 'Magnolia', Tom wasn't so nervous." Hayden was the second photographer of "Magnolia". Teacher, maybe Tom doesn't know him, but of course he won't forget Tom.

Lance looked back and found that Tom was sitting next to him and started reading the script again, but he didn't get carried away. He just patted Hayden on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Deal, everything is just a deal."

Don't look at Tom being at the mercy of Lance now, as if he has really been convinced. But Lance knows that if the quality of the finished product of "Borrowing a Knife" is not satisfactory, or if he fails to make a difference in the awards season, even if Tom doesn't ask him to settle the score, Terence will not let go easily.

Tom bowed his head because of what he promised, not because of his charisma.

But at least what is certain is that Lance has achieved a phased victory in tonight's hard battle. In the next period of time, he can complete the filming of "Murder with a Borrowing Knife" according to his own ideas. This is good news.

This is indeed the case. After Tom got better and better, the crew gradually got on track. Actors such as Kate Beckinsale, Mark Ruffalo, and Javier Bardem are all very cooperative, which allows Lance to devote all his energy to the filming of the film-to ensure that the narrative rhythm of "Murder with a Knife" can compact up.

Michael Fassbender is a very hardworking newcomer. He arrives at the set almost every day, and then waits until the set is over before leaving with everyone, whether he has a role or not. At the beginning, people thought that Michael was just trying to please the crew, hoping to win more acting opportunities in the future, but it was later discovered that Michael was just watching the shooting of every scene.

Albert found this really interesting, and after asking him why he did so, he got a surprising answer, "I'm learning acting from Mr. Strelo." Even Albert couldn't understand it, because Lan Si cannot be regarded as a "master" at all. As a director, only two works have come out. As an actor, this is the first work. So why did Michael choose this way?

Michael himself couldn't say why, but simply felt that "I can learn a lot".

After Lance knew about this, he just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart. However, Michael became a beautiful scenery of the crew. Later, Kate and Mark joined Michael's ranks successively. Every scene would squat on the scene to observe all the details of the shooting, and then besieged behind the monitor, listening to Lance. Discussion with Tom. These few people were like tails that could not be shaken off, and they followed Lance firmly, which became a joke among the crew.

"When you see Michael, you know where Lance is."

This became an interesting talk among the "Borrowing Knife" crew. At first Lance found it very disturbing, feeling that he was being followed everywhere he went, and reprimanded Michael a few times, but with little effect; It doesn't follow everywhere, it's mainly for performances, as long as he starts talking about the show, they will appear, so Lance just let it go. Anyway, in this way, Michael and others can grow up quickly, which is beneficial and harmless to the next filming.

Before he knew it, Lance had returned to his job in his previous life—an acting teacher. This illusion would not make Lance feel nervous, but rather relaxed. In the days before he discovered the truth in his last life, he was simply chasing his dreams and running wildly. That innocent and pure life brought the most happiness. People are always like this. As they grow up, life becomes more and more complicated, and happiness becomes more and more complicated. The happiness of childhood can no longer be found; but in the end, they forget that it is life that is complicated. It's still complicated.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two weeks since "Murder with a Borrowing Knife" started, but the shooting progress is still slightly lower than expected. The main reason is that Lance is too picky, and he puts forward super high requirements for lighting, performance, and camera positioning. Fortunately, after the ravages of the running-in period, the crew is now on track, and the entire crew has begun to speed up. If this progress is followed, there will be no problem in completing the filming within the contract period.

"Have you heard? Diorama Films has become the biggest hit in this year's awards season." A small stone was thrown into the calm lake of "Murder with a Borrowed Sword", causing ripples.
