Chapter 994: Dizzy
Besides, Aasif-Mandvi was rubbing his hands.
This Indian-British actor born in Mumbai has been working in Hollywood for more than fifteen years. Although he has never played a starring role or an important supporting role, he has always been a supporting role with some lines. He has performed in more than fifty works, many of which are classics.
“CSI”, “Law & Order”, “The Sopranos”, “Die Hard 3” and many more.
In Hollywood movies, a minority role is often needed, and Asif has become the representative face of Indians on the big and small screens.
Of course, there is also a reason why Asif can win the role of "Spider-Man 2".
The crew needed a pizza shop owner, but not an authentic Italian, but an ordinary person who made a living in the name of authentic Italian pizza in lower Manhattan——
So, Asif Stand out from the competition.
And now, he is about to perform opposite Anson.
Asif thought he would be very calm and enter the crew with a professional attitude. After all, he has been working in Hollywood since 1987 and has seen all kinds of scenes, while Anson is just a baby. That’s all.
However, I still had trouble sleeping last night.
Who knows, maybe "Spider-Man 2" won't be a turning point in his career as an actor, but it will allow his family to clearly see him performing on the big screen, and let those in the family who are nagging Relatives shut up.
I spent the whole night making pancakes, with countless imaginations in my mind.
Thinking about the way his parents saw him, thinking about the speechless looks of his relatives, thinking about how they would no longer treat him as a shame to the family, thinking about how they flattered him and treated him As a way of showing off capital.
All kinds of pictures are surging in my mind, I can't calm down, and I am in a trance.
Then, Anson appeared in front of him.
My heartbeat was pounding, my mouth was dry, I was even more nervous than the crew of "Die Hard 3" when they saw Bruce Willis, and I felt dizzy.
At this time, Asif truly realized for the first time what the superstar aura was about.
Greetings. shake hands. dialogue.
Move position. Right lines. practise.
It was clear that he was experiencing all this, but Asif had no sense of reality, as if his soul had left his body and was wandering in the noisy streets watching this scene.
This is something Asif has never experienced in his fifteen years of acting career.
Asif knew that he had to wake up and cheer up, otherwise the crew would fire him, and it would only take a matter of minutes to temporarily find an Indian actor. It didn't even take ten minutes for him to be replaced.
However, the more nervous you are, the more anxious you are, and the more nervous you are, the worse it is.
What a disaster.
"Asif, Asif..."
The shouts, from far to near, exploded above the eardrums like spring thunder, suddenly pulling Asif into the ground, and his heart exploded Come.
Asif closed his eyes, "I will do it well, I will definitely do it well, next time, just next time, just give me another chance."
NG, NG, they keep NGing, is this the fourth or fifth time?
And, it's all Asif's fault.
Asif knew what this meant. The first scene should be the simplest and most relaxing, which would be a good sign to get off to a good start.
Now, screwed.
If a project like "Spider-Man 2" was screwed up because of Asif, he couldn't imagine where his career would go.
The shadow shrouded the crew silently.
Because he was too eager and too urgent, Asif curled up into a trembling ball.
"Hey, Asif, calm down, calm down, nothing is going on here."
Anson noticed Asif's nervousness.
Sam Remy was a little depressed. He took off his headphones and prepared to rush out from behind the monitor. What on earth was going on in such a simple scene? But Anson raised his hand to stop Sam, and motioned to give them three minutes.
Anson himself has experienced such a situation. If something feels wrong, it just feels wrong. It won’t change much just because of the size of the role.
As the saying goes, there are no small roles, only small actors.
So, Anson believes that this is not a big deal, as long as he regains his breathing rhythm.
“Breathe, Asif, breathe.”
“People often think that breathing is the simplest and easiest thing, but after experiencing the test of life, you will understand that this It’s not that easy.”
“Let me tell you a secret. Before every performance, I adjust my breathing and remind myself not to forget this.”
The words were gentle and warm, which made Asif regain some sense.
Asif looked at Anson blankly and said nothing.
Anson gestured: inhale, exhale; inhale, exhale.
The movements are very simple, but when the attention is completely focused on it, the simplest movements can quietly bring the attention back to the ground, and then slowly find yourself.
Anson didn’t say much, but Asif couldn’t help but breathe along with him.
Slowly, slowly, the soul came back, and so did the reason.
Asif finally calmed down a little, "Sorry, I ruined everything."
Anson chuckled, "No, you just delayed fifteen minutes. Don't worry, we didn't In a hurry.”
Pfft.
Asif couldn't help laughing, "I'm just... nervous, expecting and nervous. I don't even recognize myself, and I don't know what's going on with me."
< br>
"Normal." Anson lightly shrugged. "Who in Hollywood is not like this? The first thing you do when you get up every morning is to confirm your existence."
"I accidentally saw the reflection in the mirror. I might even be shocked.”
Maybe, plastic surgery? Maybe, a hangover?
Or maybe, remove makeup?
"Hahaha." Asif couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
Anson handed over a bottle of mineral water, "Do you still need to rest for a while? Are you ready to try again?"
There were no special words, let alone the so-called chicken soup for the soul, but Asif was uneasy. The restlessness and anxiety calmed down just like that.
"Hey, you are the boss, I am the guy who needs to be nervous." Anson said again.
Asif finally relaxed completely and showed a big smile, "If it weren't for the movie, how could I have the opportunity to reprimand Anson Wood?"
"Reprimand Spider-Man, reprimand It's much harder for him to reprimand me." Anson said casually.
The smile on Asif's lips bloomed unreservedly.
Taking a deep breath, Asif shouted in Sam's direction, "Sorry, again. I'm ready."
Sam did not respond -
< br>He was already under a lot of pressure, and as a result, he got stuck continuously on the first scene after he started filming, so how should he continue with this work?
I couldn’t help but feel a little irritated.
But Sam has an introverted personality. Even when he is irritable, he tends to lose his temper with himself instead of venting it on others.
So, Sam looked at Anson and cast a questioning look.
Anson made an "OK" gesture, and Sam relaxed and raised his hand, ready to try again. If it didn't work, it would be too late to get angry again.
Asif closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Just as Anson said, don't think too much, just focus on breathing and bring all your attention back.
