Chapter 626 A perfect start
Focus. joy. stunned. anger. sluggish. Puzzled. carefree.
McGee felt that something was wrong with him.
In a short period of time, the emotions not only had ups and downs, but were also rich, diverse, strange and difficult to distinguish. This was no longer a ninety-degree turn, nor was the whip of ballet so exciting.
Originally, the scripts written by McGee and Eric focused on the plot and despised the lines. The story frame and plot context were the highlights; even if they repeatedly crafted the lines, they still couldn't do it. When it comes to every word, the accuracy of the lines is not that important.
So, why is he dissatisfied with Anson?
Moreover, the adjustment of the emotional context does not change the frame and context of the entire scene, but fills in more details and layers in the limited space, prompting the chemical reaction to collide with more power, making this scene The play becomes rich and three-dimensional.
At this point, think back, why did they insist on shooting this scene in the first scene?
On the one hand, it is to break down barriers and allow the two actors to develop a tacit understanding as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it is to pave the way for the plot and use the emotions of the two characters as seeds to lay the tone for the entire movie.
Now, Anson and Rachel not only did it, but far exceeded expectations, so why was he angry at Anson?
Before the movie was put into filming, McGee and Eric also had a long talk:
In Hollywood, co-directors also exist, brother directors, sister directors, etc., but overall they are not There are many reasons for this, and a very important one is that there are too many opinions, which leads the film's creative direction to a completely different maze.
At the same time, both of them were first-time directors, completely ignorant of the job and completely unable to predict what might happen on set.
So, they discussed that the two of them need to remain patient and modest, and not let arrogance take over their heads. They should not only listen to each other's opinions, but also be open to the possibility of listening to the opinions of other professionals.
Actors are professionals.
So, this means...
Being interrupted by an accident, Mikey was drawn into the whirlpool of his thoughts, and his anger calmed down quietly, as if it had never existed. ; Raising his gaze again, he looked at Anson and Rachel, who were exchanging glances with smiles between their brows, and suddenly found peace -
Maybe, this is the best.
McGee hesitated, "Anson, did you like the scene just now?"
Anson was stunned. He was obviously asking the director how the shooting was, but the director actually asked him in turn, is this some sort of Tai Chi pushing hands game?
But Anson didn't hesitate, "I like it."
Succinctly, Anson gave the answer straightforwardly without hesitation.
Although this is the first scene of "The Butterfly Effect", it is challenging from the beginning; however, if you look more closely, this scene is not as difficult as imagined. The only difficulty lies in Anson and Rachel. Once this key is solved, the lines, emotions and details will become extremely simple and require almost no effort.
The whole shooting process just went smoothly, everything was done smoothly and in one go, with 100% concentration. The chemical reaction that is indistinguishable from real to fake continued all the way, and even after the shooting is over, it is still nostalgic and memorable.
Of course, Anson has not watched the playback yet, so he has no way of knowing the shooting effect -
This is just like an exam. Sometimes, I feel confident and good about myself when I collect the papers, but the results are shocking when I get the results.
But at least, the intuition is positive.
Here, Anson responded simply and neatly, and the certainty in his words and expression was eye-catching.
On the other side, Mikey’s last trace of uncertainty disappeared.
"Okay, that's no problem."
McGee's answer was so straightforward that it shocked the filming scene.
Just now, McGee looked like he was furious and ready to attack, so why did he suddenly turn around 180 degrees?
In this case, does it really matter?
McGee took a deep breath. In fact, he was still not sure deep down, but——
He respects the actor's professionalism, and the actor respects his professionalism, and he believes in Anson's vision as a producer. This is the right way to start cooperation.
At least, so far, their cooperation with Anson has gone smoothly.
Now, he is trying to learn to relax and trust a little more.
"I like it too."
McGee said. After the words were spoken, McGee breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it. Only then did he truly realize——
He really does.
Those stubbornness and prejudices aside, this scene really makes you want to scream.
Look, it doesn’t seem that difficult to admit that you made a mistake in judgment and that you shouldn’t be angry.
Despite this, McGee was still a little cautious, especially when he turned around and saw Eric's cowardly look with cotton stuffed in his nose.
Looking around, all the attention of the crew was gathered. Without warning, McGee raised his hands in the air, as if he was ready to break dance the next second, which shocked the crew members.
"Hey!"
"The first scene, a good start, a good sign."
"We did it after all, one pass, there should be applause here."
Which one is this from?
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should respond to McGee, and then someone started to applaud.
Crack. Snap. Snap.
It's Heath.
He looked serious, raised his head and held his chest high, but he felt no enthusiasm or passion at all, just like shouting slogans.
"One pass. A good start."
That serious voice seemed out of place, as if he was saying in a commanding tone:
One, two, three, smile.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other. McGee was weird enough, and Heath was even weirder, so what should they do?
At this moment, Anson stood up.
He made sure Rachel was wrapped in the sheet, and then he wrapped himself in the sheet, like an ancient Greek priest's robe. His whole body was almost swallowed by the sheet, and he stood awkwardly on the ground, leading the way on the Olympic stage. Posture showing a perfect smile and waving——
The joy came out immediately.
At this time, the crew could no longer control it. One or two people joined Heath one after another, and even became more and more cheering. They whistled and cheered so loudly that the thunderous applause drowned out the scene in an instant.
Anson was not satisfied, and then he made an invitation gesture, inviting Rachel to join them. Treating the scene in front of him as a Broadway stage, he started to take the curtain call solemnly.
Haha, hahaha.
The whole audience burst into laughter, and the joyful atmosphere burst into flames.
Regardless, McGee is right -
One pass.
Moreover, it was such a difficult scene, which gave the crew a good start.
No one expected such a beginning, no one expected such a process, and now it seems that no one can predict the ending.
But at least, the "Butterfly Effect" started. What everyone was worried about did not happen. Instead, it started smoothly in an unexpected way.
Everything is perfect.
So, what more can they ask for?
Oh, oh oh oh.
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
Amidst the cheers and boos, Rachel raised her head and looked at Anson after the curtain call, and the smile on her lips could not help but bloom quietly.
