Chapter 120 Focus Shift
Actually, Gary doesn’t like to modify the script on the spot, because he knows that it will disrupt the shooting plan and may even require the screenwriter to rework. He himself used to be a TV drama screenwriter and hates such things. .
But it is precisely because Gary himself has experienced the period of revising the scripts of TV series at the last minute and creating them on the spot. He also knows the importance of inspiration to artistic creation, and it can occasionally subvert the overall situation.
In front of him, Gary had such a premonition.
Michael's two appearances so far have all brought surprises; to be more precise, starting from the excitement for Anson's arrival on the day of the audition, everything in front of him continues to prove Gary's intuition and judgment. .
Perhaps, he should be bolder and take a small step forward.
Gary looked at Anson, calm and calm, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He couldn't help but look directly into Anson's eyes. The temperament exuded from the inside out made the last trace of hesitation remain in his heart. disappear.
Just do it.
Gary spoke, "Last time you said you knew guitar?"
Anson nodded.
Gary continued, "Remember, Michael had his own rock band and invited Mia to watch the band perform. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids who like rock music have basically tried to form their own garage band."
"Of course, whether you have talent or not is another matter."
Anson nodded slightly, but did not interrupt Gary.
“Now, I have an idea. The garage of the garage is the practice room of Michael and the band. When Mia came to ask about the progress of the Mustang repair, Michael and the others were practicing and showing off their charm. ”
“Perhaps, you can play a song of your own composition”
Anson: ...
This is more than just a performance, it is a cross-border performance.
So, should remuneration be increased?
But if you think about it seriously, no wonder when Andrew asked for a salary of US$250,000, the "Princess Diaries" simply nodded in agreement! Now it seems that Gary has expected this scene.
Gary noticed Anson's strange expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't get me wrong, haha, I just, haha, you don't need to think too much. Middle school students' garage bands, they all create some music, maybe not very good, but they still insist on creating."
Gai Rui himself couldn't help but laugh.
“I’m going to arrange for some girls to sit here and enjoy the band’s performance, and then all their eyes will fall on Michael. Maybe Michael is inconspicuous in school, but in the band, he is the one who shines the most.”< br>
Anson raised his chin slightly to express his understanding——
Indeed, in the movie, Mia has a transformation part, so the female transformation becomes a highlight; But Michael didn't.
If Michael had been low-key and restrained, like a little transparent, Mia and Michael finally came together, it would be more like guilt and gratitude.
Michael also needs his own "transformation", and the band is indeed the right platform.
However, there is also an important point here.
“So, is the point of this scene to show Michael’s charm, or is it to show once again that Michael can only see Mia in his eyes?” Anson immediately grasped the key points and put forward his own point of view .
Gary didn’t understand, “Why can’t we have both?”
Anson shook his head, "It's not about choosing one of the two, but which of the two highlights?"
Gary frowned slightly——
If these words came from other actors, , or Anson before turning on the phone, Gary wouldn't pay attention to it at all; but now that he has witnessed the two surprises Anson brought, Gary also knows that Anson has ideas and will not act blindly.
“What do you mean?” Gary asked as if he was listening attentively. Anson didn't speak immediately. The incident happened suddenly. He just had an inspiration and sorted out his thoughts for a while before explaining his thoughts.
"Director, the first two times Michael appeared, Michael was a supporting character in the picture, and he revolved around Mia. So this scene changes the angle, with Michael as the protagonist, and others revolve around him. What do you think?" br>
Gary raised his eyebrows, but did not interrupt Anson.
“You see, Michael has always played the role of a crush on Mia, and in this scene, you also realized that Michael needs to show his charm and other eyes are looking at Michael, so why don’t we go one step further What?"
"Michael was practicing in the garage band, and the band was performing a song of their own, and Michael was showing off his charm, and the girls were talking about Michael."
"Michael borrowed the song. , carefully speaking out his feelings for Mia. On the surface, he is using his charm to attract other girls, but in fact, he is testing whether Mia can hear it. "
In the existing script, there is no such part, and Mia still does not look directly at Michael.
But now, Anson is creating an emotional thread, following Michael and Mia's interaction in music class, and further making Mia aware of Michael's presence, especially when other girls are present. Mia realized -
Maybe, in the eyes of her and Lily, Michael was a "little brother", but in the eyes of other girls, Michael was indeed an attractive boy.
One step, another step, laying the groundwork step by step.
Then, the "vein" came out.
"Mia noticed Michael's music and was attracted to the music. She also appreciated it, but she didn't realize that the song was written for her."
In other words, Mia's emotions are It's sprouting a little bit, but I haven't noticed it yet.
“This is the first time Michael has shown his charm, and it is also the first time Michael has taken the initiative and tried it carefully. So I just asked you, what is the point of this scene? In my opinion, both Both, but the focus should be on the former. The core of this scene is Michael. "
Anson's point of view is not complicated -
Love should be two-way, only when there are two people. The characters become full and three-dimensional, and the chemical reactions can make the audience's hearts beat.
Gary understands this, and "Pretty Woman" is a prime example of this.
Now, Anson is fighting for Michael to have room to stretch out his hands and feet; in fact, there is no added plot, it is to slightly change the focus of the narrative on the existing plot section, without even modifying the lines, only the director Just switch the absolute protagonist of the shot to Michael.
Then, out of nowhere, Michael had his own color.
Gary was deep in thought.
He must admit that Anson is very smart, even smarter than he thought. He has a clear grasp of not only the characters, but also the plot of the entire movie, and he can develop on the existing plot framework wherever possible. Bloody flesh is not only not cumbersome, but also a stroke of genius.
Anson's idea perfectly matched Gary's idea, and even enriched and extended Gary's imperfect and slightly simple idea.
Awesome!
Gary looked at Anson again.
He believes that after the movie is released, Anne Hathaway will win the hearts of the audience; but now, he believes that Anson can also shine.
Thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, brainstorming and inspiration colliding. Gary was also a little eager to give it a try, looking forward to Anson's performance.
But on the surface, Gary still maintained a serious expression, frowning slightly, and gave Anson a meaningful look. His unhurried tone naturally had a domineering air of no anger and self-power, and his eyes revealed the power accumulated over the years. Pressing down, it surged toward Anson in a mighty manner.
"So...are you trying to get the camera for yourself? Huh?"
First update.
