Hollywood Domination Chapter 134: Christopher’s acting skills

Because it is a rough cut version, there is no soundtrack, and there are still traces of blunt editing in many places, and there is no LOGO in the opening title, but a scene of a small town is directly cut out. This is also the editing material that Jenny has never seen. After all As an actor, she can only see a small part of the clips related to her.

David's films are always harsh and gloomy, but in the opening credits of "Sally", the small town is sunny and peaceful. , a close-up of the street scene, this should be a clip to be inserted into the film information, Jenny also noticed sharply that Dai Rui she played was shaking in the corner of the crowd. An apple and fruit stall owner made an inquiry, with a sweet smile and a very happy mood.

"It turns out that this lens is used here." Jenny always compares the two versions unconsciously, and she can't have too much expectation for the film itself, after all, she can completely predict what scene will appear in the next second. But now when she is sitting in the small screening hall watching "Sally", she can feel the surging anxiety and anticipation, and her heart is filled with inexplicable pride and pride, as well as admiration for David: Although she decided to play And the capital injection directly promoted the shooting of "Sally", but in the end the overall picture of "Sally" was still drawn by David, and the performance of herself and Christopher was just David's brush—she didn't know what to say, but once Thinking of the repeated, long, painful and stalemate shooting in Hamilton at that time turned into the current film, thinking that everything she did at that time may have been turned into the current shot in the director's mind, Jenny felt a burst of fulfillment And happiness, regardless of the outcome of "Sally", now she has tasted the sense of accomplishment after hard work.

Using a brief moment of sunshine to confuse the audience, David quickly returned to his familiar style. After the camera turned high, it circled and found an old building, facing the faded 'Ash Psychiatric Sanatorium The signboard draws closer, through the windows and walls, into the consultation room, Roger Ash played by Christopher, that is, Dr. Ash on the signboard, is rounding up the patient. The lighting in the ward is poor and the lights are dim , Roger's face was dull and indifferent, in stark contrast to the mental patient who was wearing a restraint suit on the hospital bed but looking forward to the spring scenery outside the window.

Although in the performance, Jenny can often see the traces of Christopher's makeup, but from the camera, after lighting and modification, the traces of makeup have been wiped off completely, and Christopher seems to have completely transformed into a cold, fat man. The middle-aged man, this popular lover who has been popular for a whole generation now seems to have no charm at all. Just a few conversations with the nurse revealed Roger's current mental state: he has lost enthusiasm for his career , although the nurse is still dutifully reporting on the daily life of the patient, Roger is obviously distracted.

After some murmured inquiries, Roger prescribed the medicine for the patient, returned to his small office, went into the washroom and rubbed his hands repeatedly, after washing once, he hesitated, and opened again The faucet was washed again, and while washing, he inadvertently looked at himself through the mirror, then moved closer to the mirror, carefully found a white hair, and pulled it out.

It has been two minutes since the film progressed, and the plot still hasn't unfolded. Compared with David's usual fast pace, this is relatively rare. Maybe there will be some changes in the fine editing, but Jenny doesn't feel bored. Christopher's performance has enough tension, not only because he uses a 30-year-old body to play a middle-aged man in his 40s, this is his acting show - but also because of the "play" in the corners of his eyes and brows, Jenny didn't know what to do. How to describe, in short, Christopher's performance feels very thick, telling stories from hair to toes, the audience can naturally confirm his identity at a glance, interpret all kinds of information, and start to spend their energy on guessing his Status, guessing his background story, this is a success in itself, if it is a thin image, and the audience needs to convince themselves of the identity of the character, then this is a double failure of the character and the movie.

Now, the movie has just started, and Jenny smells a good movie, even an Oscar, and she touches Christopher lightly, "Not bad acting."

"Performed at a super level." Christopher said calmly, but it could be heard that he was also very satisfied with his performance. "Thank you too."

During their conversation, Roger answered and connected several phone calls. He bored and vaguely dealt with the requests on the other end of the phone. He used to do a psychiatric exam... Roger washed his hands after answering the phone, changed his clothes, and left the office to buy lunch.

As soon as the lunch was bought, the cafe received a call from the clinic. Roger had no choice but to return to the clinic while eating the burger. He carefully packed the burger to prevent the gravy from dripping down. Eating while aimlessly browsing the crowd. Although the sun is still bright, the tone of the picture is very cold. The gloomy buildings and the dusty middle-aged people make the sun turn into a depressing light white, which even makes people feel a little dirty.

Dai Rui came from a distance with a smile in such a sky. At first she was just a vague figure on the corner of the street, but as Roger's expression changed, her face became more and more clear. On the bridge in the distance, there is no building to block it, so the sun is very bright. Dai Rui is wearing a dress with bright colors, lively steps, and a sweet smile on her face. She looks like she is ten years old A young girl—or maybe even smaller, but her body is obviously mature, her **** wrapped in fabric are very eye-catching, and her skirt seems to be a little short, but her beautiful appearance and dusty temperament completely cover up these violations. Feeling gentle, after Roger's eyes fell on her, he couldn't move his eyes away. He opened his mouth slightly, but the burger didn't reach his mouth, and he stared at Dai Rui obsessively. After the two looked at each other, Dai Rui gave him a friendly smile, and made another movement, and Roger suddenly realized that his hamburger juice had dripped onto his hand.

After dealing with it obviously annoyed, when he raised his head again, Dai Rui had disappeared. Roger threw the hamburger into a nearby trash can, and hurried back to his office, almost breaking into the bathroom. , vigorously scrubbing his finger joints, which were stained yellow by the juice, but they couldn't clean them no matter how much he rubbed, the camera showed the calluses on his hands in detail. Another close-up of Roger's hands: the hands are rough and slack. In this straightforward shot, the audience naturally realizes its oldness and ugliness, and Roger stares at his hands with shocked eyes, and picky looking at himself in the mirror. Although there is no soundtrack, from Christopher's performance and layer-by-layer lens language, the audience can understand that Roger is now in a deep mid-life crisis, and even his psychological state has also experienced a great crisis.

Jenny lowered her head and looked at her watch: It's been five minutes, and Dai Rui just caught a glimpse, it's all Roger's drama——

"Look," Christopher seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection with her, drawing her attention back by being beside her, "this passage is really beautiful—Dai Rui is really beautiful."

David has cut out a part of the plot they filmed here, and he may intend to use the background narration to explain it too much, but the narration has not been recorded yet, so this switch is a bit abrupt. Roger has already arrived at the bridge that Dai Rui walked before. Going down along the way Dai Rui came from, he came to a riverside park, looked at the leisurely people around him blankly and cautiously, sat down on a bench, and showed a hesitant and self-deprecating expression from time to time: Obviously, he came to wait for Dai Rui, but he didn't agree with what he did.

Soon, as the sun went down, the children and old people who came to play gradually left together one by one. Roger also showed a self-deprecating smile in frustration. He stood up and prepared to leave, but at the next moment he was surprised. Stepping forward - he found Dai Rui by the river.

Dai Rui changed her clothes, she was still a little too small, but her calm and contented expression made people not notice these details, she watched the birds wandering on the river with pure and joyful eyes, Roger walked behind her Not far away, he hesitated and dared not go forward.

"I remember you." Dai Rui said sweetly, she turned around and leaned against the railing, the wind rolled up her blond hair and skirt, revealing her conservative boxer underpants, Dai Rui smiled Pressing down the hem of the skirt, she looked innocent, and Roger didn't show an expression of ecstasy. Instead, he walked up to the wind and blocked the naughty wind for her.

The two stood silently for a while, and David's rhythm slowed down here again. He lingered poetically about the sunset and the riverside. In the golden light of the sunset, even Roger looked elegant and elegant. Calmly, Dai Rui looks like an elf about to be blown away by the wind. This coordinated picture even touched Jenny's aesthetic nerves: Regardless of the plot, this picture is indeed beautiful.

"My name is Dai Rui." Dai Rui continued to talk to Roger with a naive and detached attitude. "What about you?"

"Roger." Roger said somewhat cautiously, "Roger Ash."

"You look sad," Darry said. "Don't be so sad, Roger."

Roger's expression softened, Dai Rui smiled at him, ran away from the river, and quickly disappeared behind a row of willow trees, Roger stared at her back, as if making up his mind , but when he chased after him, Dai Rui disappeared again.

Roger regained his gloomy expression, and walked towards the way he came from, but as the sunlight changed, the way he came from was covered by shadows. In the shadows cast by the buildings, his figure was even a little eerie. Jenny couldn't help but comment, "Do you think the audience will mistakenly think that this movie is the story of Roger's fall and hurt Dai Rui?"

"It seems that David is misleading on purpose." Christopher replied, "It makes the whole story more interesting, doesn't it? If it is read by the audience who has not read the original book, maybe he has begun to wonder whether Roger is a perverted murderer. Crazy."

Jenny gave a short laugh, and the camera returned to Roger. Roger began to see Dai Rui everywhere in his life—seeing the proud Nora in the elevator, and being wary of the delicately dressed and mature Nora She paused coldly, and when she was invited to a party, she saw the slutty Belle having **** with several young people. When he squeezed past, Belle was also very wary of him, but following Roger's questioning, Belle Lei thought that Roger was trying to seduce him, so she took Roger to the closet and had a bold **** with him.

When Roger got rid of the entanglement of clothes and broke out of the closet, Belle had disappeared. Roger asked a few people who talked with Beile just now, they didn't know her, and they didn't know her name was Beile. Roger began to suspect that he had a mental illness. He began to inquire about the symptoms of schizophrenia, trying to self-diagnose, the patient and Nurses complained about his attitude, he had insomnia, headaches, and his life seemed even more precarious.

"It's really crazy." His police friend said while observing him thoughtfully, "summer is here, and the crazy people are already out in the streets, read the newspapers, shooting, throat slitting, street robbery, To me, it’s definitely a matter of the weather.”

The scorching sun does not make people happy, but it makes Roger's face paler and dazed. He obviously has a poor appetite. How about some coffee?"

"Of course." A waitress appears in the camera, but does not show her face, she refills the policeman's coffee and asks Roger, "Do you need it?"

Roger raised his head, and the camera followed him, and Sally's face appeared in the camera--Jenny's breathing tensed suddenly.

The previous personalities, although the performance effect should be good, but Jenny didn't put too much affection on them. Appreciating Dai Rui, Nora and Bei Lei, it's like... It's like admiring that it has nothing to do with her The other person's activities, although excited, did not have a strong touch. But Sally was different. Looking at Sally in the camera with a blank expression and discomfort at Roger's gaze, her heart jumped and her hands were numb, as if she was correcting her own words. Like an exam paper, she admired her performance and recalled her thoughts during the performance, "What was I thinking at the time? No matter what, I really looked like Sally, and I really did it..."

"Did you know?" Christopher also leaned over, "Of all your characters I like your Sally the most, she is the least charming, but you handle the most charming, she has a power ——something that other personalities don’t have.”

He still spoke in a professional and serious tone, and Jenny could tell that Christopher was commenting on the movie seriously now, but his words—for some reason, made her happier than all the sweet words, she took the initiative to shake him, thinking To withdraw it, but was kept by Christopher.

Indeed, judging objectively from the audience's point of view, although the previous Dai Rui, Nora and Bai Lei were also brilliant, they seemed to be missing something in the rivalry with Roger—maybe it was dominance? Maybe it's the attraction. In short, although they are young and beautiful, the focus of the camera seems to be attracted by Christopher. The audience's attention is always on Roger first, caring about his state, and then thinking about surrounding Dai Rui of mysteries. And now, although Roger also showed a surprised expression, and the hand holding the coffee cup began to tremble, Sally was still able to fight against him, grabbing the attention of the audience, just like Roger, her whole body image is also in the The audience is immediately given the notion that she is a wimpy, withdrawn, unlovable waitress, perhaps a little poor, who looks listless and unattractive despite her make-up.

Roger's hands trembled, Sally took a step back, approaching the policeman with trembling eyelids, "Coffee?"

"No... no, thanks," Roger said, rubbing his face, and Sally gave him a hesitant smile, turned and walked away. Roger's eyes followed her into the restaurant, and Sally talked to a colleague before dropping her head and walking into the counter, looking like she'd just been scolded.

"She..." Roger regained his composure and asked his friend, "Who is she?"

The friend looked at him suspiciously, "Sally, she has been working here for several months, don't you remember her?"

Roger could hardly maintain his composure, he hurriedly found an excuse to prevaricate, and soon returned to his office, reviewed the symptoms of schizophrenia, and found out the itinerary that he recorded his day's itinerary, Checking to see if he had any blank events, he walked back and forth in front of the medicine cabinet nervously, reached out to the medicine cabinet several times, and then retracted. ——It can be seen that he has already firmly believed that he is suffering from a mental illness, and that Dai Rui, Nora and Bai Lei are all characters he imagined based on Sally.

Just as Roger fell into self-doubt, the phone rang suddenly. Roger stared at the phone, and after a while, he turned down the TV volume and raised his hand to answer it. His voice was cracked and dry, "Hi—hello ——"

"Roger." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm James, I want you to come - we received a call from a neighboring county, they have a murder case and need your help."

As he spoke, Roger also switched the TV to the news station. In the report of the female anchor, a corpse in a terrible death was switched to the camera in a montage, and the camera rotated and turned into Roger The reflection in his pupils, he stared at the corpse in horror, swallowing unceasingly, and the policemen talked beside him: "It should be a man—"

"Needless to say, he must be a tall and strong man..."

Roger began to rub his face again, and Jenny watched this scene with great interest, and was also attracted in: This is Christopher's one-man drama, and she has never seen it before. It seems that David has done some The adaptation made Roger begin to wonder if he was the murderer. I have to say that after this adaptation, the plot seems to have become more interesting, and Christopher's performance also made her unable to help but feel admiration...
