Chapter 82: The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit
Peter Pan, played by Robin Williams, promised his son to go to his baseball game the next day, but he broke his promise because of his busy company. Because of this, the next day, Charlie Cosmo played When Jack made the final blow on the court, his attention was always off the court. He longed to see his father in the audience and longed for the company of the other party, but after watching, the cold reality let him down. Feeling disappointed, he obeyed the coach\'s arrangement, but he didn\'t realize that when he was lost, the opponent\'s pitcher and catcher had joined forces to overshadow him.
Under the tacit cooperation of the defenders, Jack, as the batter of the offensive team, naturally couldn\'t hit the ball thrown by the pitcher of the defensive team. As a result, the whole game came to an end. Next, Jack\'s mood is very low and terrible. At the end of the clip, he has a follow-up shot of about twelve seconds. This is actually his personal display stage. He needs to express his helplessness, helplessness and loss. Come out, in order to explain to the audience watching the movie how important the identity of a father is to the growth of the family and children.
If it were the past, or in other words, if Roland were to play the role of Jack, then he would definitely seize the opportunity to show himself. The twelve-second long shot is hard to come by, and it is a good platform for him to show his personal brilliance, but —
If he uses the theory of film business mentioned by Spielberg to shoot, he thinks that when shooting the shots of looking outside the field, let Charles show a look of longing, and when shooting the shots of the coach directing, let Charles show confusion , and then when taking the last long shot, let Charles use his own actions to strengthen the sense of loss... These are enough, there is no need to make him like Joaquin Phoenix\'s clown, every frame is making him soar .
After all, the selling point of "Joker" is not the storyline, not the tragic life seen on the surface, but a spiritual world as a repressed "person". It is a movie from the inside out, and the core selling point is not external conflicts , but the clown’s inner personality changes and his own understanding of the real world. In this case, acting skills are the best selling point, and the selling point of "Captain Hook" is the grown-up Peter Pan, It is the childhood dream of those adults who are dragged down by worldly helplessness, and when the selling point is determined, where to reuse pen and ink is very simple and quite easy...
Because of this, when Roland came to Charles with a smile on his face, what he had to face was not how to shoot, but how to make Charles listen to him—however, his worries were obviously superfluous, and Charles was not Pepper. When Spielberg nodded in agreement, he certainly knew how to choose.
"Oh, what should I call you now?"
"Roland...or the director?"
Roland felt that he couldn\'t bear the title of director on any crew. What\'s more, he also understood that Spielberg asked him to film this scene not because he thought he could direct it, but because he wanted to see it in front of him. When it comes to scenes that might be suitable for him, he has different identities, how will he deal with all of this, so it is said that he is filming, but there are actually many aspects to consider. After all, the lead watch is not separated! In his previous life, when Roland was in school, he knew that there was a saying that the directing of Chinese opera has the saying of combining performance and directing, but now, he has no taboos when he learns everything.
"Charles, don\'t you call me that."
"Time is tight, let\'s start right away?"
The action of Roland smiling and shaking his head was taken into consideration by Charles. As an actor who entered the entertainment industry, although he can quit at any time, he will not act willfully. Even if he has a good fortune, he will not be like Little Pepper He was **** off, and he didn\'t have any objection to Roland\'s statement, but when he agreed, Roland\'s performance surprised him a bit, "You won\'t play with me?"
"Don\'t say it, act according to your own ideas for the first time."
The crisp answer made Charles stunned on the spot, and when he reacted, he cast a look of help to the big men beside him, regardless of whether it was his father Robin Williams in the film or sitting in the Spielberg, who was waiting for feedback in front of the monitor, didn\'t even mean to speak (Dustin Hoffman won\'t play the role in the exterior scene, so he doesn\'t have to be there), not only that, but even the camera and scene management on the side didn\'t raise any questions. , and under this situation, Charles immediately felt that he seemed to have gained a brand new filming experience-the director didn\'t talk about the film before the filming started? What a ghost!
However, the skilled workers at the scene can understand Charles\' doubts.
In the first pass, let Charles comprehend it by himself and play freely. After looking at the monitor, Roland is adjusting the pictures he has, making up for what is missing, concise and clear, and if there are still problems after the explanation, the third time Before shooting, the problem will be explained fundamentally.
For example: I make an expression and you follow me to learn, I exude emotions of confusion and longing, you can just copy my emotions directly - of course, if you can\'t learn it, it doesn\'t matter, this is not an impulse that requires great acting skills Award-winning film, you don’t need to show experiential skills that are equivalent to performance theory, and you don’t need to fully master the Americanized performance training methods of the Steiner system, as long as you can understand the emotional substitution proposed by Lee Strasberg.
Longing for this emotion, what should Charles do if he can\'t express it for a while?
Simple, ask him what is his favorite thing.
Just like Ryan Gosling with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, food with a lot of sugar is his magic weapon for acting. Whether he is calling for freshness, desire, excitement or panic, curiosity, and fear, he will use methods Instead of the emotion in the pie, take the favorite sugary food as the main line, and imagine different scenes one after another, so as to meet the director\'s requirements.
Although this kind of practice is looked down upon by experientialists, there are too many guys who use this kind of method in the world of Hollywood, regardless of whether it is Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Dale Sting Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, all the representatives of this kind of...
What\'s more, as long as you perform the scenes required by the director, the director will not care about you, what kind of means you use to get into the play.
Because of this, when Roland followed Spielberg\'s requirements three times, the pictures he took were actually not bad.
After all, inappropriate actors have long been given a pass by Spielberg.
Those who can be selected into the crew are those who can easily reach the basic level.
In this case, the speed is actually the same if you change the person to shoot.
Everyone is not a newcomer, everyone has experience, even if there are bumps and problems, it is not a performance problem, but a communication problem between the director and the actors. As long as the two sides are on the same channel, everything will be very smooth. Simple.
Of course…
This does not mean that the pictures Roland took are very good.
After he spent 40 minutes filming the 30-second episode, Spielberg, who was watching the whole time, smiled and said: "You are bolder than Chris and Robert, and those two cowards dare not Take the rehearsal training as a feature film."
Of course Roland was very happy when he first heard such an evaluation.
His first performance better than Chris Columbus and Robert Zemeckis?
This is simply the best compliment to him!
After all, the former has "Home Alone" to support the scene, and the latter even has the "Back to the Future" trilogy!
However, before he was excited for two seconds—
Spielberg\'s next objective evaluation made the smile on his face a bit more helpless.
"But you are a little more rigid than the two of them."
"Because the two of them directly ignored the camera movement in my script when they were filming for the first time."
"Things like the script and the shot script are actually just a draft, an outline, made by the director at the time of filming."
"Don\'t care about the labels written on it, what lens model, lighting method, camera movement technique, entry point, etc., you just need to know what kind of picture you need for this scene, and then shoot according to the actual situation. gone."
"Like this long shot at the end, do you have to follow the script to shoot close-ups? It\'s not necessary at all."
"The close-up is for you to focus on the helplessness, helplessness and loss of Jack in the last few seconds. You can let the photography start in a panoramic way, and then push the shots, so that you can explain the joy of the winner. , can also reflect the loss of the loser, and at the same time, it will not make the whole long shot become a monotonous and boring close-up..."
Okay...
If Roland\'s experience just now is based on the scriptures, then Spielberg\'s method is based on experience.
And this is actually the gap.
When Roland wrote the script, he wanted to be able to put everything in place in one step, but for the director, the most important thing is to adapt measures to local conditions and use them flexibly. In fact, there are not many guys who can do this, and many say to themselves The things that Niubi\'s guys filmed were simply horrible, but those directors who followed the script and filmed honestly had good results.
However, this is also a very normal thing.
After all, there are big names in every industry.
In this business where the so-called standard means that there is no standard, whoever can attract people and who can make a lot of money, his standard is the industry standard, but this standard is not applicable to everyone.
Roland is still walking now, like running with these big guys?
Isn\'t that a dream?
Therefore, after remembering the point of divergent thinking during filming, Roland didn\'t bother with this place; experience can only be made up with time, and what he wants to know now is the way he guides Charles to perform , there is no error.
"Acting? Acting is no problem." Spielberg gave a positive answer to Roland\'s question.
"If it wasn\'t for Robert, that guy refused to speak, I even want to know when he taught you."
"I told him before, how to guide Henry Thomas, he told you, right?"
"And then add the blend of Chris and James, except for the lost innocence, other emotions are fine."
Roland was relieved when Spielberg said so.
When filming "Home Alone" before, due to the time loop, he acted out all the shots directly during the audition. In the crew, because the role of John Connor was won by Spielberg, under such circumstances, whether he played well or not, James Cameron would only respond with "anger" —
Who told you that the person above you refused to give up "Jurassic Park" to me!
I\'m so desperate!
Of course, Roland also understands that when Spielberg said there is no problem, of course he means that it is no problem under the identity of a child star.
Roland\'s performance, or in other words, his way of guiding ideas and entering the state, can completely control most of the books under the identity of a child star, but in this case, how to improve? That\'s out of Spielberg\'s hands.
After all, there is a fact that is very cruel.
Although Spielberg is very good, but he is not a professional actor, he knows what kind of picture he wants, and he knows how to express to the actors, a certain state under a certain lens, but whether he can understand it depends on the Rely on the actor himself.
Unlike Martin Scorsese, his works generally cannot bring awards to actors. He can make actors reach the level that is not bad, with seventy-five points and eighty-five points. In this kind of Before the situation, as long as he can get his ideas and express them perfectly, a nomination is already secured. As for the future?
That\'s up to you.
However, for Roland, these things are enough for him for a long time.
Compared with the truck driver who was not from a major and only yelled all day long (the ridicule is not derogatory), Spielberg, who can guide actors into the state, has too much to learn from him.
Besides, after all, Spielberg is a daring self. As a college student who dared to skip classes, cats went to various studios and production workshops of Universal Pictures, and stole his lessons. He is also the only one who can train Roland. The person with the opportunity-Chris Columbus is good, but he doesn\'t have the guts to challenge investors, and James Cameron?
forget it.
If Roland dared to grab the opponent\'s guide tube, the truck driver would definitely dare to transform into Yan Shuangying.
Let Roland see his brains!
Because of this, even though Roland re-shot the ending long shot according to Spielberg\'s request, and returned the guide tube to the other party, not only did he not feel disappointed, but he also felt a little refreshed.
That kind of exhilaration is more exciting than the success of the art test for the sake of dreams.
Listen to fans and read books?
Read an egg!
Even if you are admitted to the USC School of Motion Picture Arts, even if you are admitted to New York University, even if you enter the American Film Academy, aren’t the series of well-known alumni still these people?
Waiting for those schools to assign good jobs?
Isn\'t that brain broken?
I am waiting with my eyes closed now, and I can wait for the opportunity to take a real shot.
As for the guy born in the college, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for this time in his entire life!
For Roland, being able to film this clip would be worthwhile for him. Even if he can only continue to watch it later, it\'s not a loss!
Of course, it is impossible to continue watching this kind of thing.
Roland\'s shooting is okay, so let him continue shooting the corresponding shots.
And this is actually a very simple truth.
Since the disciples have taught, they must teach well, otherwise, they will lose face.
It\'s like Chris Columbus didn\'t make a movie, and Spielberg helped him call someone to make "Home Alone". It\'s like Robert Zemeckis wanted to make his own film, and Spielberg offered to produce. , to help him check; this is like Bryce Howard wants resources, Spielberg took the initiative to give her "Jurassic World"...
No matter how many people you give yourself, it is not too much.
Resources are not given to our own people, but to help outsiders?
Isn\'t that crazy?
What\'s more, in his opinion, the seedling Roland is quite good.
You can earn 500 million yuan when you debut. With this kind of natural commercial value, if you don’t cultivate it well, you will feel sorry for yourself.
As for not being Jewish?
This is not important.
Let him convert to Judaism?
Not to mention this.
Einstein’s father was a missionary, but his Jewish son didn’t believe in religion either!
Although in the American drama "Sex and the City", there is a saying that people who believe in Judaism are considered Jews, but in their bones, they are still counted according to matrilineal blood!
certainly…
This is still early.
Seeing Roland commanding Charles skillfully, Spielberg, who was leaning on the director\'s chair, remembered the plan mentioned by his two friends before - he cultivated so many people, of course he had his own purpose, if it wasn\'t for Jeffrey Carson Berg and David - Geffen\'s plan is too tempting, why should he attract so many people?
The film companies in front of them are not so good.
If you can’t come up with a national IP like George Lucas, then take the road where everyone is picking up firewood and making flames!
It doesn\'t matter whose apprentice it is, as long as it is one of your own and has commercial value, you can raise it!
Of course, whether it is Spielberg\'s plan or Roland\'s own thoughts, they are all confirming Sima Qian\'s words - the world is full of prosperity, and the world is full of prosperity.
You are worthless, and when people see your relationship, they may help you, but if you are valuable, let alone getting a project for you, even if you have a hand in hand, it’s fine!
And everything related to this, Roland didn\'t care.
What\'s more, even if he knows Spielberg\'s thoughts, he will be happy for his own value.
However, when Roland was obsessed with studying and Spielberg was filming adults and leaving the children\'s scenes to Roland to practice, these two guys who didn\'t care about anything didn\'t know that not far from the set, a man holding The camera staff took this scene directly...
Note: ①Ryan Gosling really has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. When he was young, his mother stayed with him at home for one year. Not only that, but he also entered the play in this way-to be honest, I personally think that entering the play in this way is really inspirational. ②Spielberg\'s directing skills are also the director of Jibaijia. He went to Universal to learn when he was in college. It is the characteristic of the Jewish gang to be ashamed, and the reason why Martin Scorsese can train Xiao Li is because He was originally a teacher. ③Bryce Howard is the daughter of Ron Howard, the heroine of "Jurassic World". This project was given to her by Spielberg. Not only that, but her resources are also very powerful. Seth helped him contact Xiao Li, and played Gwen in "Spider-Man 3", that is, the role of Sister Stone in "The Amazing Spider-Man". The heroine was played in Terminator 4, and the important thing is that her uncle is still Clint Eastwood, and the resources are really good. It\'s a pity—a small fire depends on support, but a big fire depends on fate.
