Chapter 35 It’s natural
Rushing shoulders?
So what?
Some people may be confused. Isn’t it just a brush with each other? It’s no big deal and we can’t continue to perform? It's not like someone fell and fell on his back.
The key is, surprise.
It has nothing to do with the size of the accident, but the accident itself.
First of all, this will disrupt the rhythm, and the context of this scene will be different.
Secondly, this will trigger reactions. Each actor has a different reaction to unexpected situations, and their reactions may cause drama, may deviate from the plot, or may cause laughter.
And so on and so forth.
One of the many differences between film, television and theater stages is that on the theater stage, the audience often cannot see the details of the actors' expressions and movements, and some small deviations may not be noticed at all; but on the big screen On a small screen, everything is magnified and there is no room for error.
Therefore, a brush-off that is not in the script may lead to an NG.
However.
In the 0.5 seconds of rubbing shoulders, the first reaction in Anson's mind was not nervousness, annoyance, or panic, but a conditioned reflex reaction.
Make a fist. hold high. Kick your eyes. Posturing.
All in one go!
That posture and posture were like an angry bull, full of energy and ready to explode.
Anson was completely in character. He seemed to think that Rose was provoking, but Paul was not afraid at all. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also in full swing.
That expression and movement are perfect.
Indeed, mistakes can occur at any time. There is no need to be upset or angry. What is more important than mistakes is how to deal with them.
Natural, smooth and just right.
On one side, Paul made a fist.
On one side, Ross held his head.
David Xiumeng is experienced and sophisticated enough. The moment they rubbed shoulders, he was stunned and his first reaction was NG.
David Schwimmer turned his back to the camera, looked up at Anson, raised his hands to give Anson a hug, and offered comfort as a senior actor.
Unexpectedly, what came into view was a face that suddenly exploded with momentum. The previous chicness and calmness were swept away, and the lines of the face became tougher. The resolute and powerful aura was vented like a midsummer rainstorm. Next, I was pulled from the inside of the play to the outside of the play and then into the play again, which made my heart palpitate.
Almost instinctively, David Xiumeng's hands that he had just raised hugged his head. His head shrank, his shoulders closed, and he entered a defensive posture like a turtle.
If David Xiumeng faces the camera and the audience, you can see his wonderful expression changes on the spot, from surprise to smile to fear, which is comparable to Sichuan's face change, precise, fast and in place. He went back and forth between heaven and hell several times in just one second, an absolute master.
At the same time, absolutely true.
But it is precisely because of this that David Xiumeng's panic was not captured, and what appeared in front of the camera was a completely natural scene.
A chance encounter leads to sparks from the accidental friction. Paul strikes out and Ross runs away. The two characters’ personalities and colors are in sharp contrast——
Director Michael's face was full of astonishment, this effect?
So, should I shout this NG, or should I not shout it?
It was just this short moment of lightning, a 0.5 second change and pause, and then, the entire studio burst into the loudest laughter ever.
Haha!
Gloria was totally hilarious.
Before this scene, "Paul" always wore a mask, trying to act as a knowledgeable and good brother in front of his sister, elegant and humorous.
But now "Paul" took off his mask in an instant and showed his true thoughts in a crisis situation. There was no concealment and the contrast came out.
Too! good! laugh! Got it!
Gloria laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
And, she's not the only one.
At the scene, there were two reactions.
One type is men, one or two clenching their fists and booing.
One is a woman, one or two screaming, their faces full of nymphomaniacs.
Exciting excitement! This...
"NG" was already rolling on the tip of his tongue. After a slight hesitation, Michael swallowed it hard, with a smile on his lips.
David Klein's eyes lit up slightly: Is this okay?
But think about it seriously, why not!
To be precise, a small accident did interrupt the context. However, such an "interruption" not only has no harm, but also enriches the characters and plot.
Moreover, Anson has a natural temperament. Standing under the light or in front of the camera, he can attract attention quietly.
Even if there are no extra movements or special expressions, just stand there quietly and you can quietly exude a unique aura.
The day before yesterday, David Klein felt this in his office, and today, he proved that his vision was not wrong.
You can see it directly from the reaction in the studio.
David Klein glanced to the side with his peripheral vision, and then saw Marta's dumbfounded expression, unable to hide his surprise at all.
A smile crept onto the corner of David Klein's mouth, and his eyes fell on Anson again. This kid actually has a surprise?
Even if it's a true performance, so what?
As long as it looks good!
In a flash of light, they passed each other, and then Paul and Rose moved on.
Here, Paul walked towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth glared at Paul and protested with her eyes; but Paul innocently raised his hands and spread them out to show that he had not done anything.
Over there, Ross walked towards his friends.
Ross held his head, turned around, staggered forward, and fell on Monica and Chandler, half hugging and half hanging.
And, let’s just be more exaggerated, cry a little bit, and start shouting.
“Oh, God, thank you.”
The effect came out instantly, completing a circle. The rhythm and atmosphere of this scene seamlessly switched back to the original established track.
It was this fluttering and crying that once again showed David Schwimmer's experience and skills as an actor. After the accident, he quickly regained the status of the character.
Beautiful!
Amidst the laughter in the audience, the three actors Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow also understood it——
As long as the director did not call for a jam, The show will go on.
Matthew, who plays Chandler, responded very promptly, with a look of disgust on his face. He waved his hands to swat flies, spat, and shook Ross away, as if he was shaking off something dirty. , responded appropriately, and brought a perfect end to the temporary performance in front of me.
At this time, Ross had also regained his composure. He moved horizontally like a crab and came to the side of Paul and Elizabeth. He placed his left hand next to his thigh and kept waving, asking the three friends to come closer.
"Stevens, these are my friends, Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler."
Phoebe was reluctant at first, but after taking the steps , but couldn’t help but take a small step forward, boldly and directly looking Paul up and down.
"Oh, so you are Elizabeth's father? No wonder she has a... rough beauty."
Haha!
The laughter surged again, and Phoebe's choice of adjectives was truly unique.
Rose's face was full of panic, and he quickly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "No, Phoebe, this is Elizabeth's brother."
Phoebe's eyes lit up, meaning She responded deeply, "Oh."
The words were filled with joy and excitement, and then Phoebe boldly licked her lips with her tongue.
Haha, hahaha!
The laughter became even crazier.
