Chapter 1113: Put yourself in someone else’s shoes
“I look like a fool, believe me, I know, I have eyes too.”
“But...I am working hard and insist on being myself. "
Lower your voice, make a small comment to yourself, then lightly shrug, take a long breath, and slowly relax your eyebrows and expression.
Anson is still the same Anson, but his vivid micro-expressions firmly catch the eye. This is an Anson that Reese has never seen before.
People are always subjective -
For a long time, Reese believed that her efforts had never been seen. She prepared for roles diligently and down-to-earth, but she was always ignored, smeared and criticized, using the name of a "blonde girl" The vocabulary of "" dismisses all her efforts in an understatement, and in the end she still relies on her appearance to win attention.
Others often stand and talk without back pain, "If you have good looks, why should you rely on strength?"
The question is, if there is nothing but appearance, how long can you persist? What should we do with the soul under this skin?
And now, Reese is treating Anson with the same treatment.
Realizing this, Reese was slightly embarrassed and her eyes averted.
Anson seemed not to notice, and naturally filled the silent void left by Reese, "Earlier this year, a group of friends and I went to Europe to perform on the street."
"At that time, I I realized that it is not easy to carry a guitar on the road; life is always on the go, even more so.”
“But now, it is really a surprise that those experiences can help. . ”
“One of the key things I learned from my experience in the first half of the year is not to be shy”
"We are always worried about other people's eyes and subconsciously tie our hands and feet because of what others think; but in fact, we are not that important. Others may not notice at all. Even if they notice, they are just passers-by, and Our lives have nothing to do with each other.”
“So, even though I look like a madman now, I don’t mind.”
Reese was slightly stunned——
In Anson’s words, the experience of the August 31 band was actually mentioned in such an understatement?
Those who don’t know may sincerely think that Anson performed a few casual performances on the streets of Europe; but who doesn’t know about the band August 31st?
Seeing the sincerity on Anson's face, Reese couldn't control herself and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
Anson noticed, so he did not keep the topic to himself and looked at Reese, "I heard that you went to visit the Carter family."
Although Reese and The cooperation between the crew is still in the negotiation stage, but in fact, Reese has been very proactive and shown strong interest.
After reading the script, Reese contacted Joan Carter’s children through her agent, and sat down with them to have a serious discussion about Joan Carter, hoping to learn from Joan Carter’s closest relationship I find inspiration for some performances in my family.
The biggest difference from other biographical films is that "Walking with the Song" was actively promoted by the two parties involved, and the script creation mainly came from Johnny Cash's own memoirs, so the film crew got two Full cooperation from the parties’ families.
I hear Reese is spending some quality time with the Carter family.
Anson's words were not an inquiry or a question, but a dialogue and an exchange. Reese naturally entered the state.
"No, not the Carter family. To be precise, it should be Joan's children. She has three children from each of her three marriages, all of whom are musicians."
"Very, very Sadly, Rosie passed away last week in a traffic accident. I'm not sure it's appropriate to visit them at this time, but they still welcomed me warmly."
"Especially John - John. He is the son of Joan and Johnny. He said that they have suffered too many blows this year and urgently need something to change their mood. Maybe this movie can finally be made, which is the best gift to commemorate their parents."
April, Joan Carter.
September, Johnny Cash.
October, Joan Carter’s daughter from her second marriage. As John Carter-Cash said, there has been enough bad news for his family this year.
Anson was also a little bit sad. Although he had never met any of the three people above and was a complete stranger, he still sighed softly at this time, "We will always be together." We don’t know who will come first, the accident or tomorrow, so the only thing we can grasp is the present moment, right?”
Reese was slightly startled and looked at Anson again.
Obviously, Anson has brought enough surprises today.
Anson noticed Reese's gaze and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Sorry to interrupt you. So, you guys shared some memories?"
Reese also quickly cleaned up. Thoughts, "Yes, share some living habits, some style of life, some details that outsiders may not notice."
"They also mentioned one thing, ha." Reese chuckled, "They think , I should put some additives in the upper body.”
As she spoke, Reese raised her hands and made gestures in front of her chest.
After a moment's delay, Reese realized that it seemed inappropriate to discuss this matter in front of strangers; what's more, they had been talking harshly to each other just now.
Wait, did they ever have a tense confrontation? Why can't I remember it at all now?
And...
Reese looked slightly embarrassed.
She met Joan Carter's children, and the final point she came up with was that the size of the upper body should be larger -
It is still a dominant feature of appearance, superficiality and straightforwardness.
What about Anson?
Skip the simple superficial appearance research, start with music, truly understand the soul and depth of the character, and even try to grasp the atmosphere and context of the era, find the root behind the character's state, and get a glimpse of the character's role in the era Situation and location in context.
Her efforts, her research, and her pride were all eclipsed in front of Anson.
As a result, she happily came to denounce Anson as a vase. The cooperation between vase and vase may cause distraction to the audience and film critics?
Standing in front of Anson, Reese felt her own insignificance like never before.
The smile slowly stiffened around the mouth, and his eyes were slightly averted.
However, Anson did not.
Anson still looked at Reese calmly and generously, "Just like makeup and styling, only when the appearance is in the state can the performance be in state."
"That's what Nicole Kidman's prosthetic nose looks like in 'The Hours,' right?"
Reese nodded in confusion, and her uneasiness, embarrassment, and loss quietly dispersed. Open, the mood becomes bright again.
"Yes." Reese nodded, "I think so too. Although it is a small detail, it is of great help to the actor getting into the role."
"So, end the meeting After that, the first thing I did when I came back was to find my stylist and study with her in detail the look of Joan Carter when she was young, her dressing style and living habits."
"Do you believe it? ? In many of Joan’s looks, although she doesn’t deliberately hide it, she also doesn’t deliberately show it. I think she may not be very interested in the previous show culture. ”
