The crew paused the filming, Damien, Renley and Simmons surrounded the monitor and began to watch the replay.

There was a slight commotion in the entire Alice Talley Hall. Although the content of this scene specifically refers to Carnegie Hall, the Carnegie Hall, which is full all year round, refuses to rent it from any crew. Unless you can make an appointment one year in advance, it will temporarily disrupt the itinerary. This is a matter of affecting the whole body, so the crew chose to shoot in the Alice Talley Hall of Juilliard.

At this time, everyone was talking in a hurry, not only the extras, but also the staff, everyone was exchanging their opinions. In this scene just now, you could vaguely feel a powerful force breaking through the shackles and breaking free, but it was never successful, but no one could explain the specific details clearly, which also made everyone's enthusiasm for discussions rise.

This is the fourth replay.

In fact, what they watched in concentrated areas was about two minutes to two minutes and thirty seconds, changing angles and camera positions back and forth repeatedly, trying to find out the context.

The mind circuits and ways of thinking of actors and directors are different. Directors can immediately edit all the pictures in their minds and become the final film. However, actors can only see the performance tension in the picture. Therefore, when changing camera positions, the connection between different pictures and the context of the story is certainly separated.

Simmons was still confused. The question marks on his forehead not only did not decrease, but also became more and more. He fell into his own thoughts, as if he had fallen into a maze, with more and more forks, and finally he was completely lost.

Damien himself was also thinking carefully about what was wrong and which part was exactly. He supported his chin with his right hand, constantly biting the dead skin on his mouth, and accidentally tearing a small hole, and the smell of blood spread out, but he didn't care at all, and gently biting his lips with his teeth, continuing to think deeply.

"Can you replay this place here?" Lan Li said.

Did it make a breakthrough? Simmons and Damien cast their sights at Lanli at the same time, but Lanli did not look back, but just frowned slightly and stared at the monitor's screen.

"Wait for me to prompt."

This is the clip of Renley's replay. Fletcher's command has ended, but Andrew is still beating the drum beats, so Fletcher stepped forward to ask what was going on. This is Andrew's answer, and a small clip that followed.

On the picture, Fletcher was retreating, and hesitatingly showed a clear look. Then he came to the back of the command frame and re-directed the band waiting for Andrew's instructions.

Lan Li watched this short paragraph three times, and then said loudly, "Do you feel it?"

"What?" Damien and Simmons looked at Renly with confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Lanley could only explain, "Fletcher gave up too quickly."

"What?" Simmons repeated his doubts again, but still didn't understand; but this time Damien did not speak, but began to think about it carefully.

Lanley said patiently, "What kind of person is Fletcher? He is absolutely strong, absolutely domineering and absolutely authoritative! He does not allow anyone to challenge his status, even if he can meet his standards, because he firmly believes that he is looking for the next Charlie Parker, and no one can challenge him until any drummer becomes Charlie Parker."

"But...what if Andrew is the next Charlie Parker?" Simmons understood what Renly meant and then expressed his thoughts. "He noticed talent and talent in Andrew's performance, so he thought Andrew could become Charlie Parker, so he chose to retreat and began to obey Andrew's command."

"Yes, this is the reason for the final transformation; but the process cannot be so fast." Renli continued, "Let's look at it like this, a king who has ruled the kingdom for many years, knows that he will sooner or later need to abdicate. On the one hand, he expects to see the appearance of a good successor; on the other hand, he is afraid to give up his power and be surpassed by his successors. What may happen in this case?"

"Suppress the heirs." Simmons immediately spoke, "He will definitely use all kinds of means to suppress the heirs in the name of tempering the heirs, so that they can realize their absolute authority. No one can easily challenge them. Unless he takes the initiative to hand over the power, no one can force him."

Such situations are countless in the long river of history. There are enough in the real world without looking for myths. Power can make people blind, but this is what it means. Even life becomes insignificant, let alone "cheap goods" such as family, love and friendship? Almost no one can be exceptional.

Lan Li nodded, "Yes, that's what it means. If the heir is not tenacious enough, then he will collapse; but if the heir is strong enough, he may continue to accumulate his strength, wait patiently for the opportunity, and then..." Then he overthrew the elderly king, ascended the throne himself, and took over the kingdom.

"Kill/Father." Simmons blurted out, his eyes lit up, and all the thoughts in his mind lit up.

On the first day of entering the crew, Lan Li and Damien discussed and explored the theme core of the movie, but they never told Simon. Instead, through the advancement and in-depth shooting, they conveyed this transformation of power and momentum bit by bit, just like planting a seed in Simmons' heart, waiting for the right time to take root and sprout.

However, judging from the scene just now, Simmons's touch is still a little lacking.

In fact, Simmons' sharp and cold-blooded performance texture in "Explosive Drummer" is largely due to the character's settings and charm. The content he gives the character is relatively limited. This does not deny Simmons' performance strength. However, Simmons' performance talent is still relatively limited. When he meets a suitable role, he shines brightly; but he still lacks some use of his abilities and talents to explore the role.

After "The Breaking Drummer", Simmons starred in many works, but overall, it did not cause too much trouble. He is still a well-known supporting role in Hollywood. His performance opportunities have increased, but he is only limited to commercial movies. This is the best evidence.

Of course, part of the reason is also due to Renly's performance.

Because all the details of Lanley's performance are presented through drums, the space for visual communication and line dialogue is really limited, and the camera can capture those details; but for the actors of the opponent's scenes, the difficulty of judgment is undoubtedly more obvious. To a certain extent, this misalignment of the communication link also limits Simmons' inspiration.

Now, after Lanley's guidance and on-demand broadcast, Simmons suddenly realized it, as if the most critical piece in the puzzle was lit up, and the entire blueprint was presented extremely clearly.

Lan Li once again affirmed, "So, what will the king choose to do?"

For the king, even if he knew that he was aging, even if he knew that the successor could achieve greatness, even if he knew that changing dynasties was inevitable, he still could not let go immediately. He would give it a try at the last moment. Even if the ending was already destined, the king would still not surrender, at least not so easy.

The king, before abdicating, still possessed the pride of the king. At this moment, he was not a father or elder, but a controller of the highest power.

During this performance just now, Fletcher gave up too quickly.

Although Fletcher has always been looking forward to discovering the next Charlie Parker, the premise is that Fletcher and Andrew are already two people who dislike each other. This performance is simply a trap. Fletcher wants to completely destroy Andrew's trap. Now Andrew suddenly got rid of the shackles and overthrew Fletcher's strength. So, what should Fletcher do?

Fletcher was still struggling and denied that he was still fighting. He finally accepted his fate and surrendered, becoming a stepping stone for Andrew's greatness.

This little change in mentality is precisely the key factor in the imbalance of the entire scene: Lan Li's performance was smooth and flowing, and it was completed in one go, which completely showed Andrew's process of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, where he completed the accumulation of power of killing/father; but Fletcher's performance lacked key parts, which was simple and crude, which led to the vague stalemate of the performance content and the relationship between the characters.

Simmons then asked, "So, when should I give up? In these few seconds, are the ups and downs of emotions too full? Instead, it will easily affect the rhythm of the whole scene? If I am too deliberate, will this also disrupt the rhythm of the performance?"

Maybe Simmons is not a genius, but he is indeed the most suitable actor choice for Fletcher. Simmons has his own interpretation of Fletcher's unique understanding, and countless thoughts are circling in his mind. He quickly captured the key to the problem.

In this scene, there are too many, too many burdens; too few, too few, too flaws. Too much, too exaggerated, too constrained, insufficient. More importantly, in the short shots, he needs to present too much content. Because the entire scene weight is on Andrew, Renli has enough time to complete the performance, but what about Simmons?

"Let it go." Damien interrupted the conversation. As a bystander, his feelings became three-dimensional at this time, and he could see information that the parties involved could not capture. "You can pay attention to Lanli's performance. In fact, Lanli's performance details are very layered. It guides them bit by bit, and you can clearly feel the struggles and confrontations that are about to break through."

"I personally think that Fletcher wanted to suppress or fight at the beginning, but Andrew became stronger and better, gradually..." As Damien said, Simmons' eyes lit up, "I understand!"
Chapter completed!
