Chapter 1269 Kill two birds with one stone
Reese: Me? Recording studio? Is this a joke?
However, Anson smiled broadly, without any intention of joking. He looked at Reese with bright eyes and extended an invitation——
This is the real purpose of Anson coming to the recording studio today. .
To be honest, Anson's voice is not in the best condition right now. He has not been able to recover from yesterday's noise and excitement. The Grammy Awards ceremony was indeed burned out.
Not only him, but Miles and the others are probably also in the same boat now.
In this state, it is obviously not suitable for recording.
However, Anson headed to the recording studio as soon as he got off the plane.
On the one hand, Anson did not open his mouth to sing but protected his voice to find the band's status. However, whether it is single recording or subsequent movie shooting, "singing" is a key link, and Anson needs to start adjusting.
Don’t forget, in “Walking with Songs”, live singing is the key point.
On the other hand, it is to find status for Reese.
Reese had told Anson before that she had been groping and researching, but she always felt that something was lacking, but she didn't know how to improve it. It was like there was a layer of separation between her and Anson, she could see and touch it. But it can't be broken.
Feeling particularly bad.
Just in time, Anson and the others need to go to the recording studio to complete the recording work. Since the filming process of "Walking with the Song" will inevitably be slightly delayed, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and help Reese find her feelings——
Kill two birds with one stone.
Anson is also absolutely serious about the work "Walking with Songs". hundred percent.
Although the filming of "Walking with the Song" may need to be postponed for a few days due to unexpected circumstances; Anson still made full use of the unexpected situation at hand and completed the work transition as seamlessly as possible.
It is to prepare for Reese, but also to prepare for myself.
Then, there was this scene in front of me.
Raising his head, Anson looked at Reese and extended an invitation with his eyes.
Reese: Stunned, surprised, resistant, shy, reserved, trying to escape.
Anson laughed directly.
Obviously, this is a normal reaction. Ordinary people often need some reaction time when facing unexpected situations. After all, there are only a few people who are as easy-going and carefree as Anson.
But Lily, Miles, Connor and the others also cast their gazes.
Passionate and happy.
Reese couldn't help but be stunned.
Subconsciously, she resisted, and she refused to enter the recording studio to show off herself; but after a slight daze, Reese suddenly realized that she still had not fully entered the role of Joan Carter——
The movie will start shooting soon.
When the time comes, she needs to sing, not only to sing live in front of the audience, but also to interpret Joan Carter through performance.
If she wasn't ready in the studio, would it be any different going into the set.
Taking a deep breath, Reese mustered up her courage, secretly clenched her fists to encourage herself, stepped forward with her head held high, and pushed open the door to the recording room.
Music instantly surrounded her, filled with joy and happiness.
It feels completely different from standing outside admiring it. The excitement on the eardrums, the touch on the skin surface, and even the slightly trembling heart are all different. The pores all over the body are open. Reese didn't even realize it, but the smile on her lips rose.
Involuntarily, he beat the beat to the rhythm of the melody, his eyes slightly excited and confused, trying to find the direction.
Live band performance and accompaniment performance are two different things, because the live band performance will be coordinated, there may be deviations or accidents, the beat may be overtaken or missed, and you need to be prepared for mistakes at all times, everything is It is sudden and on-the-spot, but precisely because of this, each member can often collide with different sparks according to different states, and finally give the performance a unique texture.
Reese tried to perform with an accompaniment, and knew Joan Carter's songs by heart; Reese also tried to perform with it, carrying a guitar on her back and performing with the piano, but with only two instruments, everything was still within control.
Now, entering the live band performance mode in the recording studio, Reese needs to find her groove.
Looking at the overwhelmed Reese, Anson signaled the others to pause with his eyes, with only Anson's guitar as a guide, ready to cut in.
Unfortunately, Reese missed the opportunity.
Anson was not worried and continued to play. After eight beats, he came back again and looked at Reese with bright eyes, indicating that Reese was listening carefully to the performance.
Then——
"I walked into a bar that day..."
Reese spoke, although she was a little cautious and reserved, but it fit the rhythm perfectly, This made the smile on her lips bloom uncontrollably.
“I put a coin in the jukebox just to hear it play. I didn’t know which song to listen to. I didn’t wait for a choice. I just put a coin in the slot and played the jukebox blues.”
Joy, happiness, jumping.
Joan Carter's singing voice is very expressive. It seems that you can clearly feel the beating of vitality between the words. The energetic interpretation swings freely in the melody, not just presenting the lyrics.
The same is true for Reese in front of me.
It can be heard that Reese has carefully studied Joan Carter's singing voice, her articulation, her nasal resonance, her tail tone processing, etc., all of which have Joan Carter's iconic characteristics , the recognition is very high.
It’s hard to imagine how much time and energy she spent studying these details.
However, if it is just imitation, no matter how lifelike or identical it is, it has no vitality of its own. It is difficult to imagine how the actor should make the character come alive during the performance. After all, it is just a poor imitation——
Basic Acting Course .
How to find a balance point between stereotyped imitation and in-depth interpretation, and how to find a balance point between the character's state and the actor's understanding, this is the real problem of biographical films.
Actors need to understand the "character", and in the process of discovering the reality, find an artistic expression method, and complete the interpretation with their own understanding and interpretation.
The so-called biography is, to a certain extent, the "reality" in the eyes of directors, screenwriters and actors. What they see and interpret is only one side of this real person, or maybe it is I understand that an aspect of my imagination is not 100% true to the ideal state.
After all, film is also a kind of artistic processing and creation, and it is fundamentally different from documentary and the truth.
In most biographical films, whether directors or actors, they often only stay at shallow levels of imitation and presentation, and do not dare to capture or know how to capture the vitality underlying the reality. This is The main culprit that makes biopics boring.
Reese, is that the same?
At least that’s how it started.
In the first verse of the song, Reese was a little reserved and nervous, with a wandering and inquiring look in her eyes, always worried about missing the rhythm or being out of tune.
Although she perfectly copied and pasted Joan Carter's personal characteristics, she failed to give the song soul.
Then, Reese saw the encouragement in Anson's eyes, and gradually found her groove. She began to become bolder, and when she entered the second verse of the verse, her skirt gradually flew up.
