Chapter 186 Hailey the Little Genius


Chapter 186 Hailey the Little Genius

A road in Philadelphia was closed where the crew of "The Sixth Sense" was filming.

The previous shoots were pretty good, with Toni Klatt and Haley Joel Osment both giving great performances.

But little Gilbert always wanted to make this scene more appealing, so he shot it repeatedly to find the moment when the actors performed best.

After another NG scene, little Gilbert once again told Toni and Haley about the scene.

"This scene is very important. It is one of the few conversations between Lynne and her son Cole. Only then did Lynne understand what her son had gone through.

Cole, you are now the voice of the grandmother who misses her daughter and misses you, through the eyes, through the tone of your voice, and we need that. "Little Gilbert pointed to his eyes.

The reason why I chose Haley instead of Scarlett was because the little boy's eyes were so good and he was a natural actor.

To use the formula of entertainment novels on the Chinese website of Qidian.com, it is simply the rebirth of the movie king.

Gilbert Jr. added: "What is the core of film creation? Some people will talk about special effects, action scenes, and even whether the director and creative lineup are strong.

But these are none of these. The core driving force of film creation is emotion, and emotion is the core of everything. The behavioral logic of all characters in the film comes from the core of emotion.

Understanding the emotional bond between you will help you perform better. "

Toni and Haley nodded, and Toni said: "Director, give us some more time."

"Very well, be prepared and tell me." Little Gilbert left, leaving the two actors some space to think.

Not long after, the two actors said they were ready, and little Gilbert immediately announced the start of filming.

Still starting from the hand-held fireworks, the camera slowly moved forward, and little Gilbert continued to show his face, completing the performance of a small easter egg.

At this time, the camera showed the mother and son sitting in the car. Lynn, played by Toni, spoke first: "You are very quiet. You are angry that I didn't catch up with your performance."

This conversation is very important and is related to the following conversation.

The camera moved toward the car, and it was obvious that Hailey was shaking his head.

"I have to work two jobs, honey, and that's very important to us," explained Lynne.

At this time, the camera had moved to the driver's seat window of the car. Lynn sighed and said, "I really want to be there..."

The atmosphere was a little frozen for a while. Little Gilbert quietly got out of the car and returned to the monitor to watch the performances of the two actors.

There is a small detail about Hailey here. He first looked at his mother, and then the focus of his eyes shifted, as if he was looking at someone outside the car window.

Then his focus was on his mother again, and he said, "I can communicate with you now."

Lynn involuntarily lowered her hand on the steering wheel, looked at her son, leaving her side face to the camera, and asked her son in surprise: "Communicate?"

Cole said, "Tell you my secret."

"What is it?"

Cole made an obvious swallowing movement with his mouth. From a performance psychology perspective, this is a process of hesitation turning into determination.

He said: "I wonder what accident happened in front?"

"What?"

"There are people injured."

"Really?"

"It was a lady and she died."

Because Toni showed her profile to the camera, and this direction was blocked by her hair, the details of her performance were her lines.

Usually there is a word for performance called saying lines, but this is actually incorrect.

Lines are also a part of performance and require actors to perform them, not just speak them.

Those little fresh meat and flowers in the previous life started to perform, no, they did not perform. There was no acting, let alone lines, so it was basically done by the dubbing teacher.

Later, they were picked out and scolded by righteous netizens one by one, and some of them began to correct themselves and began to speak their own lines.

Then there were jokes such as my brother's original lines, which were explosive, and my brother's lines, which were absolutely amazing.

In addition to fans bragging, netizens should scold. Only then did everyone realize that as part of the performance, lines are not as simple as reading them out.

Therefore, sometimes it is better to just go to a dubbing teacher. There is no need to pull the strings.

When little Gilbert was a director of a major online movie in his previous life, he was often tortured by the lines of these fresh little girls. At first, I still had dreams, but later I gave up on treatment.

Anyway, everyone is acting bad, and he is not the only one who is bad, so just follow the crowd!
But you don’t have to worry about this problem now. Hailey was born in 1988 and is eight years old this year. His acting skills are far superior to those of other young actors, and his lines and lines are also top-notch.

Toni Klett has rich acting experience, just like those veteran actors who played the role of fresh meat and flowers in the previous life, and her acting skills are quite good.

The conversation between mother and son continued. After Cole said the sentence "A lady died," Lynn's face returned to the camera.

She looked over and said, "Oh my god, can you see her?"

"right."

"Where is she?" Lynn looked around but didn't see her.

At this time, Cole's focus was not on his mother, but he still looked out the car window and said, "Stand by the car window."

"Ka, that's good," little Gilbert called out, "This one has been passed. Let's hurry up and shoot the next one while the two actors find the feeling."

The performance continued in the next line. Lynn pulled back, leaned against the back of the car seat, and said to her son Cole: "You scared me."

At this time, the ghost played by a real person, a woman wearing a cycling hat and a bloody face, left from the car window.

Cole watched the woman leave and told his mother, "They scare me sometimes."

"Them?" Lynn expressed doubts.

Cole was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's a ghost."

Lynn was speechless for a moment, suspicion flashed in her eyes, but she still asked: "Can you see ghosts?"

Cole nodded several times: "They want my help."

Lynn was even more confused: "They want you to help? They want you to do something?" Cole nodded affirmatively: "They were the ones who scared me before."

At this time, the advantage of big eyes came to light. After her son said such words, Lynn's eyes moved several times, revealing her thoughts at the moment.

The set was quite quiet. Apart from the pedestrians and bad ambient sounds played by the passing extras, the sound of falling leaves, and the sound of drizzling rain, there was only the conversation between mother and son.

In fact, these keynotes will be weakened or completely eliminated in post-production, and even the soundtrack will not be needed. It will rely entirely on the performances of the two actors to impress the audience.

But whether it impressed the audience or not, little Gilbert's assistant Anna has always been very emotional. Seeing the conversation between mother and son, she couldn't help but shed tears.

After the brief opening dialogue, the most affecting part of this scene comes, which is what little Gilbert wants to show to the audience without the aid of other things.

As long as the performance is performed, the audience will be brought into this emotion.

"Grandma says hello to you." Cole looked at his mother.

Lynn turned to look at her son in surprise, actually looking at the camera.

To give the performance an emotional cohesion, Gilbert Jr. and director of photography John Schwartzman set up three cameras around the car.

It is convenient for actors to perform and camera switching during post-editing.

Cole continued: "She said she was sorry for taking the pendant and that she loved it so much."

Lynne also had to give feedback as Cole performed his lines. She opened her mouth slightly, not quite believing it. After all, seeing a ghost was a bit ridiculous.

"Grandma comes to visit me sometimes."

Lynn thought her son was lying: "Cole, this is wrong. You know grandma has passed away."

"I know, but she wants me..."

"Oh, no, please stop talking." Lynn shook her head, wanting her son to stop talking nonsense.

But Cole insisted on speaking, and his soothing tone suddenly became emotional: "She wanted me to tell you that she went to see you dance."

Lynn looked at her son again, her expression a little surprised, because Cole couldn't possibly know about this.

Cole continued: "She said she and she had a fight once when you were a kid, right before your dance recital."

Lynn's expression became a little tense, she twitched, and tears began to flash in her eyes.

"You thought she didn't want to see you dance, but she did. She hid behind you and you didn't see her, and she said you were like an angel."

Lynn's emotions finally became unbearable, tears streaked down her face, and she was crying.

Because the monitor is far away and will not interfere with the performance of the two actors, they can also communicate in a low voice here.

James Gunn was not as sentimental as Anne and Anna. He watched the performance more and praised: "My God, I can't imagine that this is the acting of an eight-year-old child.

This scene between him and Toni is enough to be called a classic. Director, you made this performance possible. "

Little Gilbert didn't speak. He looked at the monitor seriously and was amazed in his heart. Are there really talented actors who are born to act?

To be honest, if it were Scarlett, she might not be able to perform better than Haley.

As the mother-son performance continued, Cole continued: “She also said you went to her gravesite and asked her a question.

She said the answer was, every day, what did you ask her? "

Lynn's emotions collapsed, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she was speechless for a long time. After taking a deep breath, Lynn replied: "I...I asked her, did she feel proud?"

Cole's eyes were filled with tears at this time: "Mom..."

The mother and son hugged each other and cried together. The scene ended perfectly, in one go, without any pause.

"Ka," little Gilbert shouted. At this time, everyone in the audience looked at little Gilbert to see what he would say.

Everyone thought that Toni and Haley's performances in this scene were already great, and there could not be a better performance than this.

The more emotional crew members who watched the entire performance began to quietly wipe away tears.

But if the director is still not satisfied, there will probably be another one.

The two actors over there, Toni and Haley, have not yet recovered from their emotions and are still holding each other and crying.

After the two actors finally calmed down, little Gilbert took the lead in applauding and said at the same time: "Let us applaud the two actors and thank them for the wonderful performances they gave us."

Led by little Gilbert, the entire crew, including the extras, gave warm applause to the mother and son.

It was the first time for Haili to experience this scene, and he was a little embarrassed.

Toni got out of the car gracefully and led Hailey to bow around. She was very happy and happy to have encountered such a good script and such a great character.

She had a hunch that this play would become the masterpiece of her acting career.

But what surprised Toni the most was Haley. He was only eight years old. There was no test shooting session at all in the scene just now. It was just a direct shot.

After the applause, little Gilbert came over and touched Haley's head and said, "Cole, you really gave us all a surprise. Keep it up, you will shock the whole of Hollywood."

Annie asked curiously: "Cole, how do you act? Honestly, are you being taught acting every day by the ghost of an actor?"

"I think he might be possessed by a ghost. There is a church nearby and the priest needs to perform a ritual to expel the ghost." James Gunn also joked.

A few jokes brought Hailey back from the emotion of the performance just now. He glanced at little Gilbert gratefully: "Thank you, director."

This kid is quite smart. Little Gilbert touched Hailey's head again and said, "Remember to pay attention to your weight in the future and don't gain weight."

Hailey looked at his thin self with confusion on his face, will I gain weight?
For this scene today, the crew returned to the hotel after finishing work, and little Gilbert was doing some work in the study room of the hotel suite.

The main issue is related to other industries. The Apple MP3 product developed under the leadership of Steve Jobs is determined to be launched next spring, and the Super Bowl halftime advertising show has already been booked.

Facebook and Banana continue to exert their strength, especially Banana, which has always had the upper hand in the competition with Yahoo. Yahoo's leaders made several wrong decisions, which made Banana more comfortable.

The war between search engines and portals seems to be about to be decided, and the outcome is about to be decided.

A book-purchasing website that Gilbert Jr. invested in last year has now changed its company name to Amazon.

Relying on the book-purchasing website, it can be developed into a shopping website in the future. This is a quite huge industry, and currently only a few people realize this.
