1386 The so-called professional

Melissa was nervous, so nervous that she was almost nauseous. Her eyes began to shake violently, and she couldn't help but want to avoid Lan Li's gaze. Not to mention looking at each other, even bathing in Lan Li's gaze was a terrible torture. The idea of ​​running away deep in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, swallowing her reason bit by bit.

In this scene, all the weight falls on Andrew. His cramps, his nervousness, and his youthfulness form a strong contrast with the subsequent story, and is crucial to the character creation.

But for Nicole, it was not too difficult, and a sweet smile full of youthful vitality was her signature. Deep down, she also left an impression on Andrew. Although she had not yet liked her, she was very happy to go out with Andrew to get to know each other more. After all, dating is really normal for young people.

So, Ni was relatively relaxed, her muscles relaxed, her expression relaxed, and her expression relaxed. She even had the energy to tease Andrew.

Now, Melissa couldn't get off her feet. She was so nervous that she was as if the clockwork doll had reached its peak. The clockwork was almost about to break the spring. Her eyes and movements were terriblely stiff, far from Nicole's condition. She couldn't even speak the simplest line. This was a disaster.

However, Melissa could not control herself and looked at Lan Li in front of her. She could not help but think of the confrontation five days ago. The fear and fear were eroding all her attention, just like... it was like her feet were stepping on a landmine, worried that it would explode at all times and dared not move easily.

Damien's voice came from his ears, and Renly could feel Damien's frustration because the scene was not difficult.

"Damien, give us some space." Renley turned his head and smiled, "Melissa and I need to communicate about how to shoot this scene. We don't need to be too nervous, we just need a little tacit understanding."

Damien is still young after all, and he is inevitably a little impetuous.

More importantly, "Explosive Drummer" was originally an independent work that no one cares about, but now it has become a highly anticipated project in North America. Because of Lan Li's joining, at least forty reporters were gathered in bustling yesterday and today's shooting scene. Such a scene made people excited.

But what after the excitement?

The pressure began to invade little by little. Now Damien gradually felt the burden on his shoulders, both immature and restrained, and couldn't help but feel at a loss. A little bit of movement may touch Damien's sensitive nerves.

"Are you sure?" Damien's subconscious told him that there was no need to doubt Renly's words, but involuntarily, the words blurted out like this.

But Renli didn't mind at all and nodded with a smile, "I'm sure. Give us ten minutes."

Damien hesitated for a moment and let out a long breath, "Ten minutes."

The crew members began to retreat one after another, clearing out a space, leaving Lanli and Melissa to communicate, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment.

Melissa deeply thought that she was about to vomit, and her nausea was getting more and more violent.

Sure enough, she came whatever she was afraid of, and she was left in place and faced with Lan Li alone, which was like locking her and the shark in the same cage. This was unfair!

What should she do?

What else can she do?

"Do you know what the actor means?" Lan Li spoke, and Melissa couldn't help but be stunned, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: Such a profound topic? No mindless? What a freak.

Renley captured the miscellaneous light in Melissa's eyes, but she didn't mind. The smile on the corner of her mouth still maintained the same arc. "Actors mean that after entering the world of characters, we must temporarily leave the personal world outside the camera and present the character's life with all our hearts."

Melissa still looked confused and completely unaware of what she said; or she had preconceived ideas, she always felt that Lan Li was about to initiate punishment, she lost her ability to think, stared at Lan Li in front of her, and had no other thoughts except fear.

"It's not just an independent movie, but even a love movie or a comedy movie." A smile flowed through Lan Li's eyes. If it were normal, he wouldn't discuss such things with Melissa, because Melissa doesn't seem to be keen on this type, but what happened in the past few days has affected the shooting of the "Explosion Drummer", so he still had to speak out on his own initiative.

"I mean, even if you hate each other, you still have to show a deep love look when the characters need it. Not only should you convince the audience, but you should also believe yourself. This is called performance, and also professionalism." Lanli explained further.

For laymen, the job of an actor does not seem to be difficult. He just needs to stand in front of the camera and perform. That's all, especially in comedy or horror or romance movies; but the real responsibility of an actor is far more than that.

One of the greatest and most classic works in history, "Gone with the Wind", if inflation factors are taken into account, this work is still the highest-grossing work in the United States so far. After adjustment, the box office data should be $1.8 billion, which is unmatched. In the movie, Scarlett and Rhett's shocking kiss was still one of the most classic kiss scenes on the big screen until seventy years later.

But in fact, while filming the scene, the two actors Vivien-leigh and Clark-gable hated each other deeply.

For Vivien, she thought Clark was rude and vulgar, had a bad temper, and was a big shot for no reason. During the cooperation, she tortured her in every way. Even if she was unwell, she still had to insist on filming hard, which consumed almost all her energy, so that there were signs of schizophrenia. She even complained to the producer and director many times that Clark was going to torture her to death.

For Clark, Vivien was a self-centered woman. At that time, Vivien and Lawrence Oliver were in great enthusiasm and were unable to part with each other, so Lawrence simply came to the crew and tangled together all day long. Vivien racked her brains to come up with various excuses to escape from the crew and fight with Lawrence. This was simply unreasonable for Clark.

At that time, Clark was already a top star in the United States, and Vivien was just an unknown person who had just traveled across the ocean from Britain to the United States to develop. Scarlett's role had more than 1,400 actresses participating in the competition, and the producers also conducted public opinion tests on the candidates for actresses, and Vivien only got two votes.

It was under such a background that Clark rejected the cooperation with Vivien and was picky in his heart; Vivien refused to compromise, and even used Lawrence to put pressure on the crew. The two of them really hated each other.

When filming this kiss scene, both actors were very reluctant. Clark deliberately kept smoking because Vivien thought Clark had bad breath and complained to the producer. In revenge, Vivien deliberately ate a bunch of garlic and then started shooting. So, this was a kiss with a mixture of cigarettes and garlic.

However, this kiss became a classic in film history without any impact.

This is called professionalism.

During the filming process, it is impossible to always meet the actors whom you co-star. If necessary, you even need to talk about love with actors who have no interest or ideas, and show your despair as the other party, convincing the audience to believe in the entire story and role.

Some people think that this is hypocrisy, so that they think that actors are hypocrites wearing masks. It is undeniable that this is an idea; but others think that this is a performance. When an actor really enters the role, he fits with the role and completely forgets his preferences, he will enter another level of the performance.

This does not prevent the actor from almost hating the other person after he leaves the role.

Lanley needs Melissa to stay professional because for him, the opponent's scene is not a problem at all. He can get into the state completely, but he needs Melissa to temporarily forget those troubles and truly enter the role. This should not be a difficult thing, nor should it be an obstacle.

Looking at Melissa who had never spoken before her, Lan Li flashed invisibly, and a trace of helplessness slipped through. He didn't have enough patience to continue to entangle, because it was not his job to correct Melissa's performance.

"What happened has happened, I have made a decision. I decided not to pursue this matter for the time being and focus on the shooting of the work. Don't let me regret my decision, let alone make me change my mind now." Lan Li didn't say anything more, clicked until then turned around, left the ticket counter in the cinema, and left the space for Melissa.

This sentence should be enough.

Melissa is not a smart person, but she is not a fool either.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lan Li in disbelief: She knew that he always remembered it, he was still trying to threaten her, she knew it, she knew it!

But, what else can she do?

Melissa believes in Lanli's ability. If Lanli replaces her on the spot, there will be no problem. It is this panic that has made her lose her sense of responsibility and can never settle down and devote herself to the performance. So what about now? Lanli confirmed her thoughts and her worries have come true. So how should she choose?

Just turn around and leave?

No, no, she has won this opportunity as much effort as she has spent, and she must not let go easily! She must not surrender!

With her fist and fist again, Melissa forced herself to straighten her back. Although she still had no confidence in her heart, she would continue to fight. This battle is not over yet; this is just the first threshold for her to enter Hollywood, and she must persist!

Since it's started, then you have to go to the end!
