Chapter 621 The First Scene
In Hollywood, there is a protection clause for actors and actresses, that is, when filming nude scenes and intimate scenes, the director must seek the consent of the actors, even if they use stuntmen, The decision-making power on how far the stand-in should be displayed and so on is all in the hands of the actors, and they can refuse at any time.
Of course, the power oppression exerted by producers and directors on unknown actors is another matter. There are many times when actors have no power to say no, but that is another complicated situation.
At least, on the set, the actor has both the initiative and the right to refuse.
Every actor, regardless of age, status or gender, has the right to refuse intimate scenes and nudity scenes on set at any time. This is explicitly required by the Screen Actors Guild in all contracts. included.
In 1976, while filming "Last Tango in Paris", Marlon Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci failed to inform the newcomer Maria, who had no acting experience, that... In the case of Maria-Schneider, they filmed intimate scenes that crossed the line -
They deliberately went outside the script and made bold and explicit attempts at real guns, which scared Maria-Schneider. , the camera lens faithfully recorded this scene.
After the movie was released, it encountered overwhelming criticism. Countless people in the industry generally believed that this was the most infamous scene in history, even though Malone and Bernardo's industry status was unattainable, and That was the distant year of 1976, and their career did not receive a heavy blow, but this stain followed their entire subsequent careers.
Now, the same goes for the "Butterfly Effect".
McGee and Eric’s persistence, and Rachel’s nod of agreement led to a perfect agreement——
So, they came here. The two of them were wearing bathrobes and sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at each other shyly and reservedly.
Actually, the reason why Rachel nodded in agreement was that this scene was innocent.
Intimate scenes do not require nudity. Rachel will be covered up tightly with sheets, only showing her shoulders. There is not even a scene where her back is exposed. It is no different from acting in a flat-shouldered evening dress. What a difference, because McGee and Eric insisted that the point of the scene wasn't to show off the sideshow gimmicks, but to showcase the chemistry between Evan and Caleb.
Everything is not to create explosive points, but purely to serve the movie.
So Rachel agreed.
But the idea is one thing, and the practice is another. The actual scene of sitting on the edge of the bed with another actor in a bathrobe has evolved into reality. The ambiguous and hot atmosphere is surging in the air, but it is still inevitable that it is unfamiliar.
Anyway, this is the first time for Rachel.
She thought she was mentally prepared, but in fact she still needed more preparation.
"...This is my first time, please give me some advice if I make any mistakes." Anson's voice came to her ears, and Rachel looked up suddenly.
Then, Rachel saw the frank and bright smile on Anson's face.
She was stunned, "Is this your first time?"
Anson shrugged lightly, "Strictly speaking, I had several experiences when filming 'Cat and Mouse Game', but Steven is more of a It was shot in a joking way, without really focusing on the intimate scenes. He and Tom were very conservative in this regard, so there was no ambiguous atmosphere in the shooting scene, it was more like an academic research scene, and all kinds of things would not come to your mind. Such imagination.”
Rachel, “So, you have imagination now?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Rachel regretted them, and she didn’t know why. came out.
However, Anson did not panic, but looked into Rachel's eyes with clear eyes, "This is the purpose of the whole scene, isn't it?"
Rachel's fingertips that hadn't been completely curled up couldn't help but stretch out, "Are you always so bold and direct? Making people embarrassed?"
Anson, "Occasionally. Not for everyone."
The subtext is...
Rachel opened her mouth slightly, her mouth was dry for a while, but this time, she did not change her gaze, but looked into Anson's eyes calmly and generously——
Rachel would be foolish if she didn't understand at this point that Anson was easing the tension in preparation for the shoot. Therefore, she cannot divert her attention. She needs to follow Anson's guidance and enter the plot; not only cannot she, but she needs to be more proactive.
In the plot, Evan is worried about gains and losses, but Keller is not.
Keller doesn’t know what Evan has experienced in parallel time and space. She is just a sunny girl who has not been hurt. Rachel needs to show her sweetest side and let the audience feel that Keller is truly loved. Holding Evan's.
In other words, in this scene, Rachel needs to be more proactive.
So.
Raising her eyes, Rachel looked at Anson, and immediately saw the clear blue, staring at her intently and affectionately, her face reflected in the depths of his pupils, which made Rachel stunned, just like this - < br>
Falling.
As if she had lost herself in that blue, those words, those deep meanings, those ambiguities entangled her soul like smoke, slowly falling.
Rachel is a little shy.
She was still not fully in the mood. She looked a little flustered and nervous and shifted her gaze. She cautiously tucked her loose hair behind her ears. She accidentally touched her skin and realized how hot her ears were. .
She looked up at Anson again.
Anson was still looking at her affectionately and intently, with his eyes fixed and wholehearted. The bright blue was like a gurgling stream. He could see the golden sunlight dancing on the water. Before he realized it, his heartbeat was already beating. Messy.
The eyelids were lowered to hide the expression, but they were raised again after just half a second. In the tug-of-war between emotion and reason, reason had already lost its armor and was defeated.
Then.
It fell into the deep blue and continued to fall.
Heartbeat, roaring.
Poof. Plop. Plop.
There was a sound above her eardrums. Rachel couldn't hear other people's voices at all. She vaguely seemed to hear the director's instruction for them to lie down on the bed. She couldn't be 100% sure, so she lay down on it by accident. I didn't even hear the order to start shooting, I already got into the role.
So, is she Rachel or Caleb?
In other words, she is both Rachel and Caleb.
Quietly, just lost in the splendor of flowers.
Huh, huh.
There was heavy and rough breathing in the room, which seemed to be the sound of the final sprint. The camera was pointed at the air and could not capture any actual movements. It could only capture the gasping and collision from the radio microphone. You can't see the details, but you can't help but start thinking about them.
There was only one desk lamp in the whole room, and the orange light held up a corner ambiguously and hazily. Hot and scorching sweat filled the air, and even the halo of the light became blurred.
Until it is over.
The camera slowly shifted, and then you could see the two figures hugging each other tightly. The sheets outlined the lines of their figures, which were already wet with sweat.
