Chapter 119 Character Life
“Stuck!”
Gary, spoke.
Although he really, really didn’t want to interrupt the filming, it really should be over.
Wonderful, wonderful beyond words!
One look, one smile, this is enough, not only showing Michael's secret love for Mia, but also showing Michael's trust in Mia.
He saw the tenacity and courage in her, and used music to channel this inner strength, allowing her to dare to sing loudly.
Although it was just a music class, even though it was just a chorus of a group of students, it was nothing, but Mia still found herself in the predicament.
And!
What comes and goes——
Anne Hathaway was able to feel the power delivered by Anson without any preparation. She did not dodge or be confused, but stepped into the role and used her performance to catch the power, and on this basis Follow the trend and complete a beautiful arc.
This is the rivalry.
Two young people who are just starting out and have limited experience work together to complete the performance of this scene. The collision creates sparks and makes the whole plot complete and full.
The emotions and content are enriched at once, so that the purpose and functionality of the whole scene suddenly become three-dimensional. This can also be the first seed for Michael to plant an impression in Mia's heart, quietly. occur.
Wonderful!
Gary couldn't help but get excited. Who could refuse such a job?
Inspiration comes from this collision.
“Okay!”
Gary gave a thumbs up and applauded the two actors without hesitation.
The crowd of people around looked at Gary, and then at Anson, even more envious and jealous. They didn't expect that Anson had done it again.
Gary didn't pay attention to those looks, his attention was entirely on Annie and Anson.
“Annie, beautiful!”
Gary praised.
“Next, we need to change the camera position to capture a close-up. The eyes and emotions just now were very good. Just follow this context and perform.”
In just a few words, Gai Rui didn't give any guidance, he just gave a few hints, then changed the camera position and continued filming. It took him less than half an hour to finally complete the filming of the scene. It can be seen from Gary's expression and movements that he was very satisfied.
Isn't this obvious to Gary?
Michael's first appearance allows the audience to understand his thoughts.
In Michael's second appearance, he and Mia had a knowing interaction.
These contents are also included in the script, but they appear flat and rough, without a clear context, and can even be said to be unclear.
But now, without changing the script, Anson gives the character of Michael room to breathe and extend in subtle but effective ways, and even seizes the plot to create a character arc just right.
The character of Michael is not only three-dimensional, but also vivid, and has his own story line and arc. Is all this really happening?
——Wow!
What else can you do besides marvel?
Maybe that’s all a director asks of an actor. The actor not only meets all his expectations, but also gives him more inspiration, triggering brainstorming in the director’s mind, and he can’t help but start creating. Finally, the director was asked to put more demands on the actors again.
Gary has been working in Hollywood for more than 40 years. He has heard of such actors before, but this is the first time he has met such an actor. That feeling... was so exciting that he cannot express it in words. Simple depiction.
Gary, here's an idea.
Of course, Gary is not prepared to add more drama to Anson. He is experienced and smart enough. He knows that adding a love line will destroy the balance and integrity of other narratives. It is a wrong decision and may lead to a disastrous ending. .
But Gary is willing to lay a hidden thread for the emotional interaction between Michael and Mia within the existing framework structure, making the happy ending of love more convincing. Now he needs to ask Anson More requests.
But I don’t know whether this young man is qualified for such a challenge?
Gary, very much looking forward to it. "Stuck!"
After all the filming of the scene in front of him was completed, Gary declared the end with satisfaction. He stood up from behind the monitor and walked towards Anson again.
This is not the first time the crew has seen this scene, but every time they see it, they still can't help but be surprised -
Anson is not the protagonist.
In terms of roles, he is not even in the top five in this movie, but since the filming started, Gary has never concealed his appreciation for Anson. Is this normal?
"Anson."
There was a touch of appreciation and affection in Gary's eyes, as if he was looking at his grandson -
Don't get me wrong, it's literal.
"Very good, it seems that this is the real surprise you have prepared today."
Anson showed a smile, "I'm just trying to be an actor."
< br>
"Haha." Gary was amused by Anson's words, confident but not arrogant, "Then, there is another test next, and I am also looking forward to surprises."
Anson's eyes lit up: It's coming!
Just like what Sandra Oh showed in "Grey's Anatomy", through her own understanding of the character, the plot, and the entire blueprint framework, she injects life into the character, making him/her no longer a screenwriter The pen is not a tool for copying lines, but a person with the ability to think on his own.
When the character has vitality, the character does not follow the plot, but the plot naturally extends from the character.
Now, Anson has done it too.
Anson showed a smile and did not speak. He just looked at Gary confidently, expressed his determination with his eyes, and waited quietly.
Gary nodded slightly with satisfaction, "You should know Michael's next scene, right?"
Anson nodded, "Yes, garage."
" In "The Princess Diaries", Michael's scenes all revolve around Mia and serve Mia's story line.
Mia’s mother bought her a 1966 Ford Mustang, which was her treasure number one.
Because in the United States, you can take a driver's license test at the age of sixteen, Mia has been waiting for her sixteenth birthday to take the driver's license test, and then she can drive on the road by herself.
However, this old Mustang needs repairs and a lot of help. Mia puts the Mustang in a garage and hopes that professionals can bring it back to life.
It just so happened that Michael was also working in a car repair shop.
The following scene is a very rare time for Michael and Mia to be alone together, and it is also Michael's third official appearance in the movie.
A very important scene.
In the script, Mia is so frustrated by the high cost of repairs that she's not sure she can admit it, and then Michael tells the garage owner that his work is free of labor.
In other words, this is still a scene where Michael further reveals his crush on Mia. Even the owner of the garage noticed it, but Mia still didn't.
In the existing script, the plot is just like this, nothing more -
In Michael's first three appearances, all the scenes have the same tone, showing that he has a crush on Mia in different ways .
But now, things have changed slightly.
Michael had already developed vitality in the first and second scenes, and Gary felt that, perhaps, he could develop further in the third scene.
Fifth update.
