Chapter 1284 Singing Style
Universal Studios in Los Angeles has such a project. Tourists can visit the entire filming base. The tour guide tells the highlights of those classic movies shot here in relaxed and humorous words, creating an immersive experience. effect.
However, words are just words after all.
Now the Universal Studios filming base has evolved into a playground. Audiences walking through it can only imagine through each filming set, and the tour guide's explanation and behind-the-scenes footage cannot bring about a real experience.
In front of me, on the streets of Union Avenue in Memphis, the experience is completely different.
Not just the filming scene, they can completely see the process of magic being born, how to break the constraints of time and space from the real world and travel to half a century ago to re-present Johnny Cash's life.
Experience, 100%.
Originally Hunter was still chirping and talking, but he didn’t know when he started, and there was no sound at all. He was completely focused.
Outside the recording studio, there was a busy and noisy scene.
In the recording room, there was complete silence.
Even Larry couldn't help but calm down. Looking at Anson, who was dressed in black, the soundless recording studio in front of him became more and more like a cemetery.
Anson was adjusting his breathing to enter the state, so that Dallas completely held his breath, and his mind was full of complicated thoughts. He always felt that he might make a mistake at any time, and the next step would be to mess up the filming and become the eternal sinner of the crew. In the end, He was kicked out and his career as an actor came to an end before he could really get started.
The more I think about it, the more nervous I become, and the more I think about it, the more panicked I become.
What to do?
The corner of his eyes drifted toward Anson in panic, but he did not dare to look directly into Anson's eyes.
However, Dallas noticed something unusual——
Anson, what's wrong?
Anson is looking at the recording studio, his movements are restrained, his arms and feet are moving gently in a small area, lest his movements of looking at him be noticed and expose his insignificance and nervousness, he scans inch by inch with his eyes. Exploring greedily and eagerly, even the air in the studio is filled with freshness.
The mixed emotions of nervousness and excitement made his shoulders and neck stiffen, and the black shirt seemed to stick to his skin -
That was...sweat?
Dallas doubted his eyes and didn't understand what was wrong with Anson.
Inadvertently, Dallas noticed Anson's gaze drifting over from the corner of his eye, like a fox standing on the ice, carefully raising his ears to observe the surroundings. Any slightest movement would cause his fur to stand on end.
The end of his gaze slightly touched Dallas, but before there was a chance to interact, Anson had already retracted his gaze and pretended to continue observing the recording equipment in front of him.
Dallas became more and more confused. He did not understand Anson's words and deeds.
What on earth is this doing?
Finally, Anson turned around and seemed ready to start filming.
Anson bowed towards Dallas stiffly and reservedly, and nodded slightly. He also realized that he should look directly at Dallas to show courtesy, his eyes quietly drifted over, and finally looked directly at Dallas.
Dallas found that he could not see Anson's eyes head-on. Anson's eyes were raised slightly, and he seemed to be staring at Dallas's eyebrows——
Or maybe his forehead.
Dallas's eyes looked up, trying to search for something on his forehead. Could it be that there was a third eye hidden on his forehead that he didn't know about?
When Dallas looked at Anson again, Anson had already retracted his gaze, and his reserved and stiff body language revealed an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Obviously, Anson like this is strange, even like another person.
If Dallas hadn’t just seen the confident, calm, funny and humorous Anson, the Anson in front of him would never have reminded him of the dazzling top star on the red carpet.
Dallas was confused and dazed. The turbulent thoughts in his mind could not be quieted down at all. The scene in front of him made his brain almost full.
The atmosphere in the recording studio cooled down little by little, and was filled with a cold and awkward feeling. Although it was not serious or obvious, it was still uncomfortable.
Dallas didn't understand what was happening. "Get ready!"
Mangold's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and his scattered thoughts were instantly brought together.
Dallas could clearly hear the sound of his heart hitting his chest, fast and heavy, almost exploding, and his mouth went dry for a while.
However, Mangold did not notice Dallas.
"Anson, are you ready?"
All eyes were on Anson——
"No."
Anson said.
Everyone on the scene was stunned, and then Anson added, "Can I run away now?"
Only then did people realize that Anson was joking and couldn't help but chuckle.

Mangold twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a smile, but it didn't fall in his eyes, and then he became nervous again.
Although Anson is an actor that Mangold and Kitcher worked hard to plead for, and is also an actor recognized by Johnny Cash; it is one thing to talk about it on paper, and another thing to actually cooperate. .
The filming of the movie has not yet started, and the back and forth during this period was already dizzying. As a result, Mangold chose such a difficult scene for the first scene, and Mangold was also unsure. They are not sure what kind of results they will see after entering the working state.
Seeing Anson's nervousness at this time, Mangold still couldn't relax -
What Anson said, Mangold was as satisfied as possible. In Mangold's view, they should trust Anson and give Anson Enough respect and affirmation, this is the core of the cooperation between the crew; but if Anson messes up from the beginning, Forest Films will not blame Anson, but blame Mangold for not shouldering responsibility as a director.
With all kinds of thoughts filling his head, Mangold is pretending to be calm now.
Anson is nervous? Why are you nervous? It should be just an illusion, right?
If Mangold knew that Anson's nervousness was real, I wonder if he would stop breathing.
To be honest, Anson was really nervous.
First, he needs to show the slightly greener part of Johnny Cash.
In the 1950s, gospel music had an unparalleled influence and inspired later soul music. Johnny himself was a devout believer, so he liked gospel music and was keen to sing gospel music, and at the same time he always consciously Imitate the voices of famous singers.
Mahalia-Jackson, Sam-Cooke, Clara-Ward and so on.
However, the problem is that imitation often loses its own edges and colors. Even if the imitation is lifelike, it will never surpass the original singer.
Originally, Sam Phillips was an innovator. He believed that the gospel music market was too crowded and it was difficult to express his own characteristics. In addition, he had a different concept of music, so he had no interest in Johnny's singing.
Here, Anson needs to figure out the singing style of gospel music, and peel off his personal characteristics based on Johnny's youth, and present a singing that is mediocre and boring but not unpleasant.
This is very difficult, five times ten times more difficult than the Grammy Awards stage.
Singing well is difficult; singing poorly is even harder; whether singing is good or bad is the real problem.
