King of Hollywood Chapter 26: Progress

"What should I say? This is actually my problem." Dennis took a sip of pure water. He is not that good-looking now. His face is sallow, stubble, thin cheeks, thin body...those on his face It could be turned into that look by the makeup artist, but the body that seems to fall down when the wind blows is the way he thins himself.

　　 "Your question?" Joe showed a curious look.

　　 "Yes, before shooting, Ed told me that although my experience was helpful to my role of experience, it was still slightly weaker in acting. Although the previous "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" got a good result Evaluation, but there are so many characters, each of which is very important, so there are problems that are not conspicuous. And now, I am the first protagonist, so... will be very strict with me." Dennis explained, then he With a sigh: "The reason why the first two days went smoothly is because they are relatively simple, and they are all long-range shots. And, did you find that? Most of them are just test shots."

　　 Joe touched his chin for a moment and then nodded: "It is true, it seems that your relationship is not bad."

　　 "Fortunately, I'm very grateful to him," Dennis did not hide this, "I'm sorry to have lost your time, Joe."

　　 "It's okay, it's okay," Qiao smiled and waved his hand. "Everyone will have this situation. When I first performed the movie, the number of NG was not less than you. I think Ed must have his consideration. , He is a good director."

　　 "I don't know, you will still flatter, Joe." Adrian's voice rang at this moment.

　　 "You are a director and a producer, of course you should shoot your ass, isn't it?" Joe turned his head and said with a grin.

　　 walked in front of the two Adrian shrugged, then looked at Dennis: "How do you feel, Dan."

　　 "Okay..." Dennis replied with a bitter smile, "I already roughly understand what kind of emotion you need the character to be in, but I just want to perform perfectly at any time. I'm afraid... it's difficult ."

　　 "It's okay, if you can't do it once, then shoot a few more times." Adrian didn't care about waving it.

　　 "But..." Dennis's bitter smile was even stronger, but he was interrupted by Adrian before he finished speaking: "Relax, I won't take a break from NG for dozens of times like before, I just did I want you to know how important you are in this movie. This is your first time playing an absolute protagonist. Don’t let me down."

　　 probably discovered that Dennis was a little nervous because of these remarks. After the Adrian paused, he continued to say: "Now the repeated shooting is to stop the repeated shooting in the future, when you firmly grasp that After this kind of feeling and can be expressed at will, the number of repetitions will naturally decrease. I believe you can do it, Dan! Besides, there is also a very acting guy who can ask you for advice-you will give pointers to one or two Right, Joe?"

　　 "Oh, of course, no problem!" Joe raised his hands for the first time. Although some of them looked like Dang Erlang, there was no lack of sincerity in his tone. "But I have always played a supporting role. I have no experience in guiding the protagonist."

　　 "It doesn't matter, performance skills are at least consistent in some respects." Dennis said busy.

　　 "Very good, then you can communicate now, when I start shooting later I hope you can maintain at least the previous state, Dan, you did very well the last two times." Adrian left after a few words Too.

　　 walked to the camera, he turned his head to look over there again, and Joe and Dennis had started a detailed discussion. Adrian nodded slightly. Obviously, inviting Joe Pantoriano was the right decision. He originally wanted to find an experienced actor who could give Dennis some guidance. After all, Dennis is still a little bit younger, and he is still worried that Joe is not as hot as 10 years later-yes, he appeared in the original "Memento" Teddy’s policeman, in fact, he has a better known role, Sever in The Matrix!

　　But after the trial shooting, Adrian is now worried about being thrown out of Jiu Xiaoyun. Joe, who entered the entertainment industry as early as 1978, although he has played supporting roles for more than a decade, his experience is quite rich. In Hollywood, he is basically a golden supporting role with Steve Basmi. Such a person plays the role of police teddy, naturally there is no need to wait for 10 years, not to mention that he has no relationship with all the members of the crew, and he is willing to provide advice to Dennis.

　　In fact, Adrian does not need Dennis to really meet the requirements he said before, in that case, some seedlings will help. And the key to this movie is editing, which can be more relaxed for performance. He just wanted Dennis to understand that starring in any movie—even a bad one—should go all out!

　　After several previous observations, Adrian has decided to pick him up, so he urged him not to find a broker for the time being, because it fits his plan in some way.

　　 This movie was filmed at the beginning of bumping. In the first few days, the progress was very bad. Almost every shot had to be over two NG to pass. At first there were some employees who complained in private, but they got used to it a few days later. Of course, this has set an example with the staff who has worked with Adrian since London, and it has nothing to do with Dennis who has always maintained meticulous style-know that because he wants to maintain his thin body, his daily food is specially matched. Sometimes even an apple solves a meal, and never said much. In addition, Joe also sometimes interposes and adjusts the atmosphere during the break, so the overall atmosphere of the crew is still good.

　　 "You said it was not good to make my eyes blink, then, I would like to ask, Ed. How do you think I want my blinking eyes to penetrate this thin lens and project to your What about the camera?" Joe said as he gestured, and the laughter seemed quite hilarious. But it is also true, his relationship in the crew is quite good.

　　 "It depends on your acting skills. Who said that your eyes can't penetrate the glasses?" Adrian spread his hands.

　　 "Well, okay, you are the director." Joe showed a helpless expression and stretched out his hands with two quotation marks on both sides of his head. The slightly funny movement caused a burst of laughter.

　　Adrian shook his head without saying much, he knew that Pantoriano was reminding himself, so he walked to Dennis and whispered: "Listen, Dan, it’s not good, then let the expression look numb, like this On the contrary, it is much better than the appearance that you are incomprehensible because you can’t show it. Perseverance is a good thing, and appropriate changes are also necessary."

　　Dennis nodded after thinking for a while, "I understand."

　　 "Very good, we will come again now." Adrian clapped his hands and greeted everyone to start work again.

　　 Dennis’s plasticity is really very good, and because of the former downswing, he is willing to study seriously, so that the two-pronged approach, although sometimes still has the taste of a little white face, the progress is still very obvious. Adrian couldn't help but think of a joke "once" that he saw, ridiculing three Hollywood actors who were notoriously famous, saying: Tom Cruise made all the characters himself, and felt very proud; Brad · Pete thought that he was playing that role; as for Leonardo · DiCaprio, "What is this role?"

　　 is slightly mean, but from another aspect it is not a good thing to say that the actor is too handsome. At least in the eyes of critics, even if they perform well, they will be deducted for appearance. This is very unfair, but the world itself is unfair.

　　 It is best that he can strike a balance between the two. Adrian thought so. It's just not easy, so it's better to let him become a acting school first. During this time, he has gained a lot.

　　 In fact, Adrian's own gains are not small, he also meticulously filmed in accordance with the original "Memento", did not think about what to amend, at most it is to fill in obvious vulnerabilities or something. Although he had good experience in the previous life, it was not enough to support him to modify these classic works. Besides, the previous life and this life are in two different countries, and the concept and environment are all different. Even if you want to engrave your own marks in these works You have to learn through it first.

　　 It is definitely a quick and convenient way to copy these works. At least when copying "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", Adrian has learned a lot from the previous analysis.

　　Besides, because of Joe's smallness, he recalled many excellent movies of the mid-1990s. Although Adrian remembers a lot and is very clear~IndoMTL.com~, after all, there is no search engine in his head. The first time I can think of are those big hit movies. As for those equally outstanding movies with medium reputation, it can only take a lot of time to slowly recall. Of course, there are other ways, for example because some people and things suddenly come to mind, just like Joe.

　　Okay, these are the things to come. As Dennis gradually enters the state, the filming progress also gradually speeds up. Even if Joe left after completing his part of the show, there has been no retrogression. Adrian originally planned to take all the shots at the latest 8 weeks, but now it seems that it can be advanced to 6 weeks.

　　Of course, if you really want to complete it within 6 weeks, in addition to Dennis’s need to maintain the state, you need to cooperate with someone.

　　The crowd in the spacious and bright waiting hall of Los Angeles is endless, and every few minutes you will see an anxious pick-up person hug her relatives, friends or lovers with excitement, laugh or cry.

　　Adrian stood with arms folded, not far from the exit, and watched all this quietly, as if he were a sentient bystander. But a few minutes later this state was broken. With a scream, the fiery red figure suddenly slammed into his arms, and then kissed his mouth for the first time.

　　Adrian responded unreservedly. After a while, the two separated.

　　 "You are nothing like an English lady, Cate." Adrian said half-jokingly.

　　 "I don't care what kind of lady...I miss you, Ed!" Cate looked at Adrian with a blushing face, then wrapped around his neck and kissed his mouth again.
