Chapter 914 A Rare Opportunity
You come and go, thoughts collide.
Although this is not the first exclusive interview between Nicholas and Anson, incredible sparks burst out on the special stage in Cannes, making the interview full of fun.
It can be seen from the expressions that both Anson and Nicholas are focused with flying eyes, even the observers are no exception.
Anson's words continued, speaking from the heart, and it didn't look like reciting a PR draft at all.
"So, instead of caring about whether the character is in the spotlight, it is better to care about the color and edges of the character; instead of caring about the role's weight in the story, it is better to care about the position and value of the character in the story; instead of caring about oneself on the cast list It is better to care about the value of your contribution to the entire story."
"Even the supporting characters who are responsible for the gags have their own shine."
"When we talk about 'The Lion King'. no one will forget Timon and Pumbaa; when we recall the 'Titanic', we still remember the captain who died calmly and the symphony orchestra that played on the deck until the last moment; when we mention the 'Ice Age' At that time, the squirrel was the highlight."
"For me, there is no difference between these characters."
"As you said, I am still a newcomer, I think. Still an apprentice, just entering the world of acting, maybe not even getting started yet, just knowing how to pose in front of the camera, you know, handsome poses.”
Caught off guard, laughter escaped from the corners of his mouth again.
Obviously, Anson has never minded being called a vase. Not only does he not mind, but he also has a calm face.
Just this wisdom and broad-mindedness are enough to attract attention again——
Don’t forget, the young man in front of you is not yet twenty-one years old.
“I don’t know exactly what to do when facing a character. I’m still learning and training. So, every character and every scene is a new lesson for me. I can't relax at all."
"Otherwise, there will be fewer and fewer roles that I can perform in the future."
"Of course, I am not pessimistic. I know that I have some freedom now. The success of the two movies has given me what countless actors dream of. Rights: The right to choose, which means that I can complete some screenings. "
"For film companies, when producers find me, it often means that they have considerations about the market and box office, which may be to some extent. I limit my exploration of the character, because having box office responsibilities also means you need to travel your responsibilities and stay cool.”
Ha.
Anson himself also laughed, "But supporting roles are slightly different, because the spotlight is not on you, it allows you to make some bold and even crazy attempts, so I welcome supporting roles, if you don't mind me being in Crazy words on set.”
puff.
Emmanuel still couldn't hold it back and laughed directly.
As soon as he turned his head, Emmanuel could see Anson’s agent dumbfounded, unable to speak, struggling for a moment, and finally looking up at the sky, choosing to remain silent after all——< br>
Obviously, the agent does not want Anson to play supporting roles all the time. After all, Anson's career has just started, and now when he is determining his position in the industry, he should still focus on the protagonist.
But...what else can the agent say?
Emmanuel's smile grew wider and wider. She liked the Anson in front of her who was talking eloquently and scolding Fang Qiu. She could feel his love for the performance.
Obviously, Nicholas is the same, with a kind of excitement and expectation in his eyes.
"Although you don't have much experience now, the important thing is that every role you play can bring surprises. How do you prepare for the role?"
Anson, " Oh, this is a difficult question."
"I think the key is how you communicate with yourself and how you trust yourself and give yourself to an unfamiliar role." "It's like you lose it. The key, when you finally get it back, brings back those familiar scenes of, 'Ah, of course I put it here', yet as we rummage through every strange corner of every drawer, our minds But I can’t remember where I am.”
“When we get it back, though, it feels like it’s been lost.”
“It’s the same as building a character.”
“You question yourself , you will be full of confusion, and you will encounter frustration. There is no shortcut or method except trusting yourself. Until we find that familiar feeling, it takes many attempts.”
"The problem here is that when the movie starts, you don't have enough time to look for the keys every time. The director and actors don't have time to wait for you there. The weather is also a bad factor, so you have to prepare in advance. And we often You will forget that you are ready, and you need to keep calming down to get the feeling back.”
"In my opinion, it is very important to stay interested and patient. Once you get bored, everything loses its meaning."
"Look, this is another challenge with different roles. Reason. ”
Sincere, calm and profound.
At this point, it can be clearly felt that Anson is not a brainless vase. He has been thinking and exploring in his work as an actor.
Nicholas gently raised his chin, showing an expression of interest——
In the past, people often focused on Anson's appearance, such as fashion and lifestyle, hoping to live like Anson.
Now, Nicholas began to wonder about Anson’s inner self, how the actor leads the trends, fashion trends, box office trends, and topic trends. Once is luck, twice is coincidence, and three times is necessity. This time Anson The trend set off at the Cannes Film Festival is definitely not an accident.
Nicholas thought, this is an opportunity to learn more.
Moreover, it’s not like the “Tonight Show”, where you talk, laugh, and make jokes, but you really get into the world of actors. What better place than Cannes?
Nicholas further asked, "What you just said is an inner preparation. What I'm curious about is the performance level and the work level, so let's assume, will you watch the replay live? Or go back to the office that night to look at the footage shot throughout the day?”
Eric: Stay.
So profound and professional, Eric obviously couldn't catch up. He wanted to yawn a little, but he didn't need to be reminded to know that he couldn't doze off now.
Eric quietly turned his head to look at Alex, but unexpectedly found that Alex was attentive and listening with interest.
Eric: Traitor!
But Alex is really interested, doesn’t he find it extra interesting?
Rarely, Anson, who was always good at observing his surroundings, did not notice this. He was completely immersed in the atmosphere of in-depth discussions with Nicholas.
With enthusiasm.
“Occasionally,” Anson said.
“As I said before, I am always learning. I try to believe in myself, believe in the character, and then throw myself to the director, follow the director’s instructions, and try to avoid standing behind the monitor and gesticulating as much as possible. Believe. I, I don’t have such ability for the time being, ha.”
“Just like filming ‘Elephant’ this time, I realized that the actor’s performance depends heavily on the position of the camera, which means speaking. Good stories are not told by actors alone.”
Nicholas's interest came immediately, "Oh, what do you say?"
