The crew paused filming, and Damien, Lanly and Simmons surrounded the monitor and began to watch the replay.

There is a faint commotion in the entire Alice Tully Hall. Although the content of this scene refers specifically to Carnegie Hall, the Carnegie Hall, which is full throughout the year, refuses to rent from any crew, unless It is possible to make an appointment a year in advance, otherwise the itinerary will be temporarily disrupted. This is something that will affect the whole body, so the crew chose to shoot in the Alice Tully Hall of the Juilliard School of Music.

At this moment, everyone is talking in a quiet manner, not only the extras, but also the staff. Everyone is exchanging their opinions. Just now, a powerful force can be faintly felt in this scene. Breaking through the shackles and breaking free, but never been able to succeed, but no one can clarify the specific details, which also made everyone's discussion enthusiasm more and more high.

This is the fourth playback.

In fact, they focused on watching a piece of content that lasted from about two minutes to two minutes and thirty seconds, changing the angle and camera position back and forth, trying to find the context-

Actors and directors have different brain circuits and ways of thinking. Directors can immediately edit all the pictures in their minds and become the final film products, but the actors can only see the performance tension in the pictures, so they are changing When the camera is set, the connection between the different pictures and the context of the story are somewhat separated.

Simmons is still confused. The question marks on his forehead have not decreased, but have increased. He has fallen into his own thoughts, like falling into a maze, with more and more branch roads, and finally completely Lost.

Damien himself was also carefully thinking about what was wrong, and which part of it was. He supported his chin with his right hand and kept biting the dead skin on his mouth, accidentally tearing a small piece of skin. In this way, the smell of blood permeated the mouth, but he didn't care, bit his lips gently with his teeth, and continued thinking deeply.

"Here, can you replay it again?" Lan Li said.

Is it a breakthrough? Simmons and Damien cast their sights at Lan Li at the same time, but Lan Li did not look back, but frowned slightly and stared at the monitor screen.

"Wait for my prompt."

This is the clip that Lan Li signaled to replay. Fletcher's command was over, but Andrew was still beating the drums, so Fletcher stepped forward and asked what was going on. This was Andrew's answer, a short snippet that followed.

On the screen, Fletcher was retreating, showing a clear look in his hesitation, and then came to the back of the conductor stand, re-directing the band and waiting for Andrew's instructions.

Lan Li watched this short passage three times over and over, and then raised his voice and said, "Do you feel it?"

"What?" Damien and Simmons both looked at Lan Li with bewildered faces, completely ignorant of what was going on.

Lanly could only explain, "Fletcher gave up too quickly."

"What?" Simmons repeated his doubts again, still not understanding; but this time Damien did not speak, but pondered carefully.

Lan Li said patiently, "What kind of person is Fletcher? Absolutely strong, overbearing and absolute authority! He does not allow anyone to challenge his position, even if he can meet his standards, because he firmly believes that he is Looking for the next Charlie Parker, and no one can challenge him until any drummer becomes Charlie Parker."

"But... but what if Andrew is the next Charlie Parker?" Simmons understood Lanly's meaning, and then said his own thoughts. "He sensed talent and talent in Andrew's performance, so he Thinking that Andrew could become Charlie Parker, he chose to retreat and began to obey Andrew's command."

"Yes, this is the reason for the final change; but the process cannot be so fast." Lanly went on to explain, "Let us look at it this way. A king who has ruled the kingdom for many years knows that he needs to abdicate someday. On the one hand, he expects to see the emergence of a good successor; but on the other hand, he fears to give up his power and then be surpassed by the successor. Under such circumstances, what might happen?"

"Suppress the successor." Simmons immediately said, "He will definitely spend all kinds of methods to suppress the successor in the name of tempering the successor, making them aware of their absolute authority, and no one can easily challenge it. Unless he voluntarily surrenders power, no one can persecute him."

There are countless cases like this in the long river of history. There is no need to search for myths. There are enough in the real world. Power can make people blind. In fact, that's what it means. Even life has become insignificant, let alone "cheap products" like family, love, and friendship? Almost no one can be an exception.

Lan Li nodded, "Yes, that's what it means. If the successor is not tough enough, then he will collapse; but if the successor is strong enough, he may continue to accumulate his own strength, patiently wait for opportunities, and then..." Then overthrow the old king, ascend to the throne, and take over the kingdom.

"Kill/Father." Simmons blurted out, his eyes lit up, and all the thoughts in his mind lit up.

On the first day after entering the crew, Lanly and Damien conducted an in-depth discussion and excavation of the core theme of the film, but they never told Simon, but through the advancement and depth of the shooting, little by little. The transfer of power and momentum is like planting a seed in Simmons' heart, waiting for the right time to take root and sprout.

However, from the scene just now, Simmons's touch is still slightly lacking.

In fact, the sharp and cold-blooded performance quality of Simmons among the "Burst Drummers" is largely derived from the setting and charm of the character itself. The content he endowed to the character is relatively limited. This does not deny Simmons's performance strength. , It’s just that Simmons’ talent for acting is still relatively limited. When he meets a suitable role, he shines brightly; but he still lacks in using his ability and talent to tap the role.

After "Burst Drummer", Simmons appeared in a lot of works, but on the whole, he did not cause too many waves. He is still a familiar supporting role in Hollywood. The opportunity to perform has increased, but it is more limited to business. In the movie. This is the best proof.

Of course, part of the reason is also from Lan Li's performance.

Because all the details of Lanly’s performance are presented through a drum set, the space for sight communication and dialogue is really limited, and the lens can capture those details; but for the opponent actors, the difficulty of judgment is undoubtedly more obvious, to a certain extent. Said that this dislocation of communication bonds also limits Simmons's inspiration.

Now, after Lan Li's guidance and on-demand broadcasting, Simonston suddenly realized it, as if the most critical piece of the puzzle was illuminated, and the entire blueprint was presented very clearly.

Renly again affirmed, "So, what will the king choose to do?"

For the king, even if he knows that he is aging, even if he knows that heirs can achieve greatness, even if he knows that the change of dynasty is inevitable, but he still cannot let go immediately, he will give it a go at the last moment, even if the end is doomed , But the king will still not disarm and surrender, at least not so easily.

The king, before he abdicated, he still had the pride of the king. At this moment, he is not a father or an elder, but a master of the highest power.

During this performance, Fletcher gave up too quickly.

Although Fletcher has been looking forward to finding the next Charlie Parker, the premise is that Fletcher and Andrew are already two people who dislike each other. This time the performance is simply a trap. Fletcher wants Completely destroy Andrew's trap, and now Andrew suddenly got rid of the shackles, but overthrew Fletcher's strength, then, what should Fletcher do?

Fletcher was still struggling, still denying and still fighting, until he finally confessed his fate, he raised his hand and surrendered, becoming a stepping stone to Andrew's great achievement.

This slight change in state is precisely the key factor for the imbalance in the power of the whole scene: Lan Li’s performance is full of clouds and flowing water, and it fully shows the process of Andrew breaking into a butterfly. Here, he completed the killing/father. However, Fletcher’s performance lacked a key part and was simple and crude, which led to a vague ambiguity in the content of the performance and the relationship between the characters.

Simmons immediately asked, "So, when should I give up? In these short seconds ~www.novelhall.com~ Is the emotional ups and downs too full? On the contrary, it is easy to affect the whole scene. Rhythm? If I am too deliberate, would this also disrupt the rhythm of the performance?"

Maybe Simmons is not a genius, but he is indeed the best actor choice for Fletcher. For Fletcher’s unique understanding, Simmons has his own interpretation. With countless thoughts swirling in his mind, he quickly captured the key to the problem——

In this scene, there is too much, cumbersome; too little, flaws. Too much, exaggerated; too much, not enough. More importantly, in the short shots, he needs to present too much content. Because the weight of the whole scene is on Andrew, Renly has plenty of time to complete the performance, but what about Simmons?

"Let's go with the flow." Damien interrupted the conversation. As a bystander, his perception became three-dimensional at this time, and he could see information that the person could not capture. "You can pay attention to Lan Li's performance In fact, Lanli’s performance details are very hierarchical. Guided by little by little, you can clearly feel the struggle and confrontation about to break through."

"I personally think that Fletcher still wanted to suppress or fight at the beginning, but Andrew became stronger and better, and gradually..." Damien said, Simmons' eyes brightened. Got up, "I see!"
