Chapter 1071 Performance Interaction
Performance is a kind of interaction, unless it is a one-man show.
The back and forth between actors is often the source of chemical reactions.
So, it is often seen at the shooting scene that the camera is focused on an actor, but the opposite actor stands behind the camera to help with lines, correct eye position, and complete the performance, even if he does not appear in the scene. On camera, actors also need to cooperate with their acting partners to complete the performance.
Occasionally, big-name actors refuse to help with the scenes; occasionally, the actors are filming other scenes or busy with makeup, and are temporarily unable to help with the scenes, and the crew will send other actors or staff to complete the scenes.
Here, how to play is also very particular -
There are good opponents, bad opponents, and perfunctory opponents.
A small part of the reason why Kristen's performance has been stumbling in this scene is:
There is no suitable actor to play opposite.
Previously, Peter’s position had been filled by a staff member to help Kristen control the rhythm of the entire scene.
Logically speaking, it's not difficult.
Because this is a theater, Peter Parker couldn't interrupt the performance with his voice. He just said hello with his lips, and that's all.
However, this is not the case.
In this scene, Peter Parker also undergoes a psychological change.
In order to fulfill his superhero duties, Peter's daily life was in chaos, and he watched his life fall apart bit by bit.
On this day, Peter finally had enough.
Peter made up his mind, he believed that he was worthy of happiness, and he was ready to give up his Spider-Man superpower and return to the life of an ordinary college student.
Of course, and most importantly, he mustered up the courage to chase Mary Jane.
Peter wanted to tell Mary-Jane that it was a stupid decision for him to reject her. In fact, he had always had a crush on her, always liked her, and could not forget her.
He believes that he should pursue happiness bravely.
then.
Peter comes to the show without telling Mary-Jane in advance.
This is a surprise.
But behind the surprise, there is shyness and uneasiness, apprehension and nervousness.
On the one hand, he didn’t know what Mary Jane would think of him, nor how to get Mary Jane back to him.
On the one hand, he is hopeful and ready to start his new life. His university, his love, and his life have just begun.
A little bit of contradiction, a little bit of tension.
In this scene, Peter also experienced an important turning point.
So, when Mary Jane noticed Peter, not only Mary Jane was stunned, but Peter was also excited——
Tobey Maguire’s handling here in the previous life , seems dull and stupid, without layers or edges, just pure joy.
The good thing is that this makes Peter Parker still look innocent, like a middle school student.
The bad thing is that after so many trials and tribulations, Peter still hasn’t grown up, and his character arc is a mess.
Anson doesn’t want this.
Of course, today’s camera lens is completely focused on Kristen. There is no chance for Anson to perform for the time being. Anson is just helping with the scene.
But this does not mean that Anson will deal with it casually.
Dual scenes can be rehearsals where you delve into the role, or it can be rehearsals where you play against an actor to find inspiration and sparks.
What's more, seeing this scene, the fourth wall inside and outside the play has been completely broken, and Anson also found it interesting.
A little excitement, a little anxiety; a little happiness, a little nervousness, which made the smile on Peter's mouth completely bloom. But soon, Peter noticed Mary Jane's panic, and her mind went blank at this moment -
The performance could become a disaster.
Peter also didn’t want Mary Jane’s performance to be ruined. He quickly straightened his back slightly and stared at Mary Jane. His eyes showed gentle strength, and he stared at Mary Jane’s eyes. comminicate. Then, word by word, Peter silently reminded him with his mouth.
"I'm very happy."
This is Peter, and this is Anson.
In the chaos, Kristen noticed the shape of Anson's mouth, and without even realizing it, the corners of her mouth rose slightly again.
At the same time, a man's voice came from the stage space, "Aren't you happy when I say this?"
Finally, Kristen came back to her senses, and her thoughts slowly returned to the ground.
She glanced at Anson, her smile slightly raised at the corner of her mouth, and without any delay, she turned to look at the real rival actor on the stage. She looked at the panicked and calm expression on the actor's face, and his side profile. The stage manager on the stage was holding his head in his hands in despair, and the corners of his mouth became lighter and lighter.
"Yes...I...I'm happy..."
Slightly stuck, Kristen has returned to the play, not only Mary-Jane, but also Mary-Jane is The state of performing a stage play.
Like matryoshka dolls, one layer inside another.
Because there were so many layers, Kristen was also in a daze. For a while, she couldn't remember her lines -
The whole scene seemed extremely ridiculous.
“…You said that.”
Kristen still squeezed out bit by bit, like squeezing out toothpaste, squeezing out all the lines.
On the stage, the actor should have been covered in cold sweat. He let out a long breath without hiding it. The stage manager on the side stage even staggered with his knees weak, and he almost had to go straight. Kneel down.
"Actually, I have to admit, it's more than a little bit bad..."
This scene fell into Kristen's eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and it was a bit hard to hold back the smile.
Subconsciously, Kristen turned her head to look forward again, easily finding Anson in the crowd. She raised her eyes upwards and exhaled gently, with an expression as if she was surviving the disaster.
The corner of Anson's mouth also twitched slightly, and he was almost about to break the power. He quickly lowered his head and used his left hand to control the corner of his mouth, suppressing the smile, and immediately raised his head, signaling with his eyes:
Concentrate. Stay focused.
After a brief panic, Christen had completely calmed down. After noticing Anson's expression, she assumed a contented posture, leaned slightly against the back of the chair, crossed her legs with her left supporting leg and stood on tiptoes, showing her arrogance. The posture is vividly expressed.
Lifelike.
“Stuck!”
Sam Remy’s voice sounded again, ending the shooting.
This time, before Sam or Kristen could speak, the bustling group of carrots behind the monitor could no longer control themselves.
Ha ha. Hahaha.
The group burst into laughter.
Sam:? ? ?
It was simply baffling. Sam turned his head and looked around, looking at these guys with confusion on his face. His serious expression cut off all the laughter.
The atmosphere in the crew had just become cheerful, but in the blink of an eye it was like falling into an ice cellar.
Sam didn't seem to care at all. He stood up from behind the monitor unhurriedly and glanced at the whole place with an expressionless expression, breaking the deadlock just before the air was about to freeze and suffocate.
"Perfect."
After saying that, Sam stretched out his hands, thumbs up.
At this moment, I noticed that the smile at the corner of Sam's mouth also slightly rose.
It turns out that everyone was teased by Sam just now.
Wails and cheers came one after another, and the entire crew became noisy. Everyone was frightened and sweating profusely, and protests calling for the director were heard everywhere.
Sam looked at the wailing in front of him with a satisfied expression.
