MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 69 Post-production

In the case of the explosion, Billy was flying by the side of the railway with half of his head cut off by a piece of iron carried by the passing train, so these scenes began to be incorporated into the filming track.

will inevitably lead to rearrangement. This is also the reason why Teri's death was filmed first, because that scene is related to Alex and Claire talking about Todd's death on the street, and it only needs to be filmed earlier.

…Well, the previous lottery was indeed cheating. Those savage animals kept asking James Huang to shoot this scene in private. The director couldn’t stand the pressure and agreed. Of course, Sean, as a gentleman, certainly wouldn't be involved in this discussion, he just... um... when they asked for advice, it didn't matter.

It doesn't matter if the progress is slow, Huang is not in a hurry, what does Sean need to be in a hurry? As long as it doesn't delay his trip to New Zealand in December. Moreover, it doesn't matter if there is a delay. According to the schedule provided by Jackson, he will only have one to two weeks of scenes in December. Haldir spotted the Fellowship of the Ring while patrolling in Lothlorien, and mocked Gimli's back belt. They went to see Queen Galadriel.

There is really something to do, and I should be able to delay the communication with Jackson. At most, I will lose some impression points with him.

In addition, Sean can also use this opportunity to figure out his acting skills and analyze the difference between acting and method in practice. When I was filming "The Genius Ripley" before, because the pressure was relatively high, I only had the idea of ​​playing a good role in my head, so the way of performance has been changing, as long as it can meet the director's requirements. In the rest of the time, either relax and adjust to maintain the state, or entangle with Gwyneth or Kate, naturally there is no energy to tidy up.

There is time after the filming is over, but no one is there to make suggestions, guide and exchange opinions, so I still haven't made a specific summary.

Although James Huang is a director for the first time, he has been a screenwriter and producer before, and he has added a lot of exciting plots to "The X-Files", which is a very good communication partner. Although Harrington emphasized that the best acting skills that can highlight their own characteristics and impress the audience are the best, but if they don't organize and summarize, how can they find the right acting skills?

So Sean fully experienced during this period of time, why Harrington said that there are very few pure technical schools now, very simple, in the original Hollywood, most of the selling points of movies were Focus on the characteristics of the actors, such as Clark Gable's handsome, Mary Pickford's sexy, or the mother of CDMA Heidi Lamar's naked appearance and so on.

Coupled with the exaggerated body language handed down from the silent film era, at that time, actors would gain a large number of fans as long as they showed the joys, sorrows and sorrows of their characters on the screen. However, with the continuous improvement of shooting technology, the film becomes more and more realistic, so the film company has higher and higher requirements for the actors, and the audience also begins to be satisfied not only that the film only shows the personal charm of the actors, but also that Stanley Slavsky's Methodist acting skills invaded, thus giving birth to Methodist actors represented by Strasberg.

And the actors who are accustomed to the technical faction have to follow and figure out and integrate into the character's emotions and psychological activities. The completely pure technical faction has also begun to decline. Now there are only those idol actors. on the body. This is obviously not what Sean wants. Since he is an actor, how can he be a male vase? Coupled with various reasons, he took a method-biased route from the very beginning.

Understanding the difference between the previous technical school and the current technical school, Sean further understands the meaning of each one's own strengths, although this does not make his acting skills have an immediate qualitative leap, but It is enough to deal with "Death is Coming".

"How did he do it?" Katherine Heigl couldn't help but ask Amanda Dutman during the shooting gap.

"What and how?" Amanda, who just finished today's scene and removed her makeup, asked rhetorically.

"Sean, how did he do it," Catherine explained, "The director said before that to make him look sad and hesitant, it's better to have some tears in his eyes, he sat alone After being alone for a while, I rubbed my face, and when I came to the camera, it was the same look just now, it seems... very infectious. "

"Is it very infectious?" Amanda glanced at Sean who was already resting, and then loosened her shoulders, "Why don't I think so?"

"Did you really watch it before, Amanda?" Catherine raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, I didn't look at it. I'm not like some people, I stare at others intently." Amanda said in a narrow tone.

"But he really acted..." Catherine didn't react until halfway through, she glared at Amanda, reached out and grabbed her waist, and the two girls immediately laughed It took a while to end.

Nevertheless, Katherine is still full of curiosity about Sean. She started making movies at the age of 14. She has worked with many actors, the biggest one being Steven Seagal. However, that cooperation was not a pleasant memory. Siegel was not a good person to get along with. She was very short-tempered and not very gregarious. She was under a lot of pressure for a long time.

Don't talk about this, among the cooperating actors, who can integrate into the role as quickly as Sean and express the emotions the director wants, not even an adult actor can do it, let alone Young people of the same age. Originally, she thought he had a good character, and after a few plays, she felt a little more favorable, so she just went to ask him directly.

"Well...this one..." Sean scratched his head, "Actually, to put it simply, it is to recall the things that made you sad in the past, and then... manifest it."

"That's it?" Catherine was clearly dissatisfied.

"Look, you must have experienced some bad things before, some things that made you sad and don't want to remember. So, when the director needs you to be sad, you can try your best to remember. This matter, go and feel the feeling at the time again, then keep it in the body, and then show it." Sean said with a gesture, and then sighed lightly after thinking of something.

"You must have a lot of stories." Catherine, who looked at him for a while, said so.

Many stories? Of course, Sean will always remember that when he was almost 1 year old, after he finally figured out his situation, he recalled the feeling of panic and hesitation in the past. At that time, he had to cry several times a day due to physical limitations. Fortunately, his mother was patient and careful enough to comfort him tirelessly, otherwise God knows what he will become in the future, so he shouted. The first word is, Mom.

Because of this, whether it is a stage performance in high school in the past, or a performance in front of the camera now, if you need to express the insecurities of the characters, you must show panic or difficulty in self-control When he was sad, he could capture that subtle emotion just by thinking about the experience. When filming "The Genius Ripley" before, the scene where Ripley and Meredith were watching the play also relied on this to successfully shed tears.

"Anyway, you have time to practice and try it yourself. Take it slow." Sean ended the conversation with Catherine with this sentence.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk more, although he has restraint, it's not a bad thing to have a few more words with such a beautiful girl. It's just that when Catherine came to him, he had already completed his work and was about to leave the crew, even if it was just past noon. After all, Sean has more to do than filming "Death Is Coming", such as the later stages of "Genius Ripley".

Actually, as an actor, there is not much to do in post-production, that is, to re-dub certain passages that the director and sound engineer need. There is also a supplementary shot, but unless the director and the producer feel it is necessary, this usually does not happen.

But Sean still maintained his usual humble image, and whenever Minghella called, he would rush to the studio immediately. On the one hand, you can understand where the post-production is progressing, and on the other hand, you can find opportunities to observe the results. The studio has a special place for screening.

"See? You're great, Sean." Sitting on the sofa in the recording studio, Minghella asked, pointing to the picture on the screen hanging on the wall.

"I don't know," Sean said after watching for a while, a little excited, "This is the first time I...see myself in a movie."

.

"Thank you, Mr. Minghella," Sean said immediately.

"How many times have I said it, Sean." Minghella gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Okay, Minger... Anthony." Sean laughed, bowing slightly.

This is the third reason why he is responsive. Without Minghella's support, he would definitely not be able to play this role. After the film was closed, Sean specifically asked Frederick to inquire about it, and determined that Minghella played a big role in it. You can think about how grateful he is in his heart. So, even if he didn't know why Minghella was so envious of himself, Sean still respected him very much.

Basically, according to the current progress, the production of "Genius Ripley" can be completely completed by the beginning of November at most, and the schedule is therefore set on Christmas day. As for how to publicize at that time, Sean is not very clear. Frederick once told him the importance of publicity. Sometimes the publicity cost of a movie is equivalent to one-third of the production cost.

Just, I don't know which company Miramax will give the publishing rights to, after all, Harvey Weinstein should hate himself quite a bit.

But these are not in his control, so he quickly shifted his energy to another thing, a very important thing.
