Chapter 381 Asking for trouble
“Stuck!”
Steven’s voice came from the hall outside. The paper-thin walls couldn’t stop it. Filming was taking place in the bedroom. All the people can hear clearly, and they can hear the following words in the next second.
“No problem, next shot.”
Simple and clear.
With Steven's words, the atmosphere on the entire set became noticeably more relaxed, and the joy could be seen in the exchange of glances. The most difficult scene was about to be filmed, and they could finally get off work on time.
The filming of the "Divorce Announcement" scene was indeed difficult. Not only did the actors need to cooperate with each other, but the lighting, camera, sound, etc. must also not go wrong. Even though they had been rehearsed, they still withstood a test. .
Back and forth, I failed seven times due to different reasons.
Just now, it was the eighth shooting. There is no doubt that this is the scene that the "Cat and Mouse Game" crew has faced the most difficulties and tests since it started filming. The entire crew seems a little sensitive and tense.
When Steven announced that it was approved, the entire crew was overjoyed.
However, there is one person who is an exception-
Anson.
Natalie was by Anson's side the whole time, and she was still there to shoot the next set of shots. She noticed the hesitation in Anson's expression.
Natalie asked, "What's wrong?"
Anson hesitated slightly.
Natalie remained patient, watching Anson quietly.
Anson thought for a while and then said, "I want to shoot again."
Anson knew what this meant.
He himself has worked and worked on a film crew. What he hates most is when actors or directors think they can shoot better, so they take the trouble to "do it again". Of course, he knows that artistic creators often It takes such a journey to find the best version through different attempts, but there is only one idea for the staff:
Prevent me from getting off work on time.
However, these workers have no say, so they can only complain secretly. If the actor or director insists on "doing it again," they have to do it again. Overtime is really common
The worst thing is , after the whole crew worked hard for several hours, the director often still thinks that the previous one was the best.
This also means that all their subsequent troubles are just nonsense.
At times like this, the workers really feel that even swearing is a waste of saliva and emotions. Their only thought is to stay away from these artists from now on——
If you can’t afford to offend them, can you still afford to hide away? ?
The cruel reality is that often you really can’t hide, haha.
Now, after changing the position, Anson himself wanted to shoot again. He became the thorn that he could not afford to offend or hide from.
Furthermore, what really makes Anson hesitate is that Steven has already approved it. Does he really need to torment the entire crew?
Since "Friends", Anson has been very happy and satisfied with his status as a vase, acting easily, making money easily, and enjoying life easily, but he unknowingly changed his mind.
Should he listen to his inner voice?
For Anson, this was the first time. He felt that he was very unfamiliar like this, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of Little Frank's state in this scene that he became uncertain.
Is this considered acting?
Natalie did not express her opinion, but asked in a gentle voice, "Are you sure?"
Anson did not speak immediately, but calmed down and thought carefully, recalling the state of the performance just now. , he knew he could do better. In the version shot for the eighth time, the whole state was still not relaxed enough. Amidst the repeated NGs and re-enactments, it was slightly stiff, and the performance state was also tense. He felt that he Excessive force.
If you don’t pay attention, you may go too far.
Then, Anson slowly became firmer, "Yes, I'm very sure."
Natalie had been paying attention to Anson and carefully observed the changes in Anson's expression. At this time, she was not surprised to hear such an answer. , she patted Anson's shoulder gently and gave Anson an encouraging look. Anson straightened his back and was about to speak.
But Natalie got there first, "Director." She called out loudly, "I'm sorry, I want to shoot again, can I?"
" I don’t think I was relaxed enough and I could have performed better. I’m really, really sorry, but I think we need to do it again.”
Whispering, all eyes fell on Natalie.
Anson knew what those eyes were about and looked at Natalie in disbelief.
Natalie blinked at Anson and signaled with her eyes: Just leave it to her.
Anson was stunned for a moment, and felt warm in his heart. He understood Natalie's kindness, and he shouldn't refuse, otherwise it would only put Natalie in an awkward position; but he couldn't accept it calmly, either. Because he understands the mentality of those crew members——
The kid is difficult to deal with.
Offending the boss can cost you your job, while offending the underdog can make daily work a chore.
A dilemma, so what should Anson do?
“I’m sorry, it’s probably because of me. My gaze processing just now was a little inaccurate, which affected the opponent’s scene.” Anson also raised his hand to agree with Natalie.
Natalie did not hide her surprise.
Anson responded with a smile, "Director, it may not be obvious on the camera, but the whole performance will be inconsistent. I'm sorry, can we do it again?"
This time, Anson could clearly feel that all eyes were on his shoulders.
Natalie is a French actress. Hollywood always assumes that European actors are difficult to work with. In addition, Natalie’s qualifications are there, even the complaints are more subtle; but when it’s Anson’s turn, one or two will do it. No longer polite.
Before, I was thankful that Anson had performed well and had not made any mistakes so far; but now before the end of get off work, Anson suddenly became disgusting.
Steven was stunned.
This is not Steven’s style. He thinks that as long as the performance is on the horizontal line, there will be no problem. He doesn’t like to dig into the details of the performance, so since he thinks there is no problem, it means that the overall effect of the picture is fine. .
And now?
With Steven's habits, he is not used to these actors, unless it is Tom Hanks. It is not to get off work, but because he has his own progress and plans, and he does not like to deviate from the filming schedule. Take control of yourself.
Simple and efficient.
This is Steven's consistent style.
However, Steven did not reject it immediately. Instead, he calmed down and observed for a moment, carefully examining the brief eye contact between Anson and Natalie.
He didn't understand whether the performance was too stiff, since he didn't see it on the monitor anyway; but he could see the tacit understanding between Anson and Natalie. Regardless of the truth, this was indeed the consensus of the two actors.
Steven thought for a while and glanced at Anson again, his thoughts briefly surging.
Then, "Okay."
Steven said.
“Let’s take another shot. You’d better show your best performance.”
oh.
There were sighs and sighs in the filming studio. The eyes were obviously anxious and impatient. They turned their backs to Anson and rolled their eyes. They couldn't help but complain. Let's see what these two "artists" can do. Make something out of it.
Pressure and noise gathered together quietly, surging heavily toward Anson.
