Chapter 1325 1325 Late Autumn Sunshine
"The performance just now was very good. I think you can try something different during the performance. After the performance, we will see which one is suitable. What do you think?" Edward Burns stood next to the camera, Seriously said.
Cameron Diaz's eyes stayed on the monitor, listening to Edward's words, she tapped her chin lightly and said, "Okay, no problem, I will study it myself in the next scene. watch."
Edward snapped his fingers, "It's done! Then you go to rest first." Then, without waiting for Cameron to answer, he turned and shouted to the rest of the crew, "Prepare for the next game, Jennifer is ready."
Cameron watched the replay of the scene just now on the monitor, and then went back to rest. In my mind, I was reminiscing about the feeling of the scene just now. This method was learned from Hugo when Cameron was on the set of "Death Ramble".
Now, Cameron is filming "Love is the Only" in New York. This romantic comedy film has a relaxed atmosphere and relatively simple roles, but it still helps a lot to polish his acting skills. Cameron is trying to learn acting—a skill that is still very foreign to her.
Originally, Cameron thought it was very embarrassing to stand in front of the monitor and check his performance. Instead, he made himself constantly pay attention to the camera, and then pay attention to the small details of his expression, etc., and ended up screwing up the performance, so Cameron Long has always refused to look at the monitor.
But this is not the case for Hugo in the "Death Ramble" crew. After each scene, Hugo will watch the monitor. If the director is not satisfied, Hugo will exchange ideas with the director for the whole scene. Later, when Cameron asked Hugo, Hugo said that this habit was learned from Al Pacino. In fact, he was not used to it at first. He looked at himself on the monitor like a stranger - the most familiar The stranger, how awkward it is to look at it, turns out to be completely embarrassed when he returns to the camera to perform, and even has the same hands and feet.
However, Hugo later discovered that when watching the monitor, it is not himself, but the character. That is to say, the monitor is not watching the details of the performance, but it is very consistent with the whole plot after seeing the role. Studying performance is a very personal act, especially many one-man shows, but the film is a whole. If the characters exist outside the plot, it will be a disaster, not to mention that many opposing plays also require the cooperation of the actors. Therefore, Hugo watched the monitor to see the fit of his performance, his character and the whole story.
Now, Cameron is also trying to learn this, but she is still not very used to it, and it is always easy to get distracted when watching the monitor.
Sitting on the sidelines and resting, Cameron is watching Jennifer Aniston and Edward Burns play opposite, Edward is not only the director of the film, but also the actor. From thinking about her performance to observing Jennifer's performance, she began to lose her mind, so that she was completely dazed and did not notice it.
The passage of time is always unconscious, and the filming work in the crew is not always rich and busy. For most actors, the long wait is the main theme.
To give the simplest example, the filming of a movie has a schedule, and the actors and directors are incapacitated, making it difficult to shoot at the same time. Cameron has only three scenes today, but it is difficult to put these three scenes together in an assembly line to shoot, more often it is to shoot one scene, and then take a break before filming the next scene.
The interval between each scene is a rest period, and this interval is not fixed. It is possible that the three scenes were shot in less than two hours before and after, so Cameron's work is over today and he can leave the crew early; it is also possible that the three scenes are arranged in the morning, noon and evening, although Hollywood actors The union stipulates that actors cannot work more than eight hours a day, but if all three scenes are arranged separately, then Cameron will consume eight hours a day on the crew - which means that the waiting time is likely to exceed more than six hours.
This is also the reason why the relationship between the crew and the crew is very important. For example, for a big name like Hugo, if necessary, the crew can arrange all Hugo's scenes together, turn around for four or five hours, end Hugo's scenes, and then let Hugo be free; Actors have no choice. They can only passively complete the work according to the arrangement of the crew. It is not uncommon for them to spend a whole day in the crew just to shoot a scene.
At this time, the rivalry between Jennifer and Edward was relatively long and difficult to film. Cameron waited by the side, and before he knew it, more than half an hour passed. Cameron suddenly felt bored, and she had to stand Get up and stretch, then walk aside to chat with the crew for a while, and eat some snacks, but it's still not her turn to work.
Being bored, Cameron simply sat in a quieter corner and looked up at the sky above his head. The sky in New York is always covered with a layer of gray, and the rustling autumn makes the sky above the city divided by high-rise buildings reveal that blue, but it is gray-blue gray-blue, and it always looks not bright enough. The bright sunlight sparsely sprinkled down, as if all the energy had been consumed after the long journey from the sky to the ground, and it was weakly projected on the ground, but it did not bring a trace of warmth.
This made Cameron start to miss the sunshine in Los Angeles. She thought of lying on the beach and bathing in the bright sunshine of the West Coast, playing golf, drinking a cup of coffee, and shopping in such a cool autumn weather. The comfort of life is New York's Busy and noisy incomparable.
The warm sunlight almost made people drowsy, "Cameron..." Suddenly a shout came from a distance, awakening Cameron, she realized that she almost fell asleep, New York The coldness of the air swarmed in in an instant, causing Cameron to shudder. She quickly stood up and shouted, "I'm here."
Cameron walked in the direction of the staff quickly, she thought it was her turn to play, but the staff stopped her from walking to the shooting location, "Cameron, someone outside said yes Come to visit your class, your assistant just went out, go and see for yourself."
Cameron couldn't help but be stunned, visiting the class? Who will come to visit at this time? Is it his former model colleague? After all, New York Fashion Week has just ended, and the last time she spoke on the phone with that group of models, she still talked about meeting and getting together. "Okay, I'll go right now." Cameron said as he walked towards the entrance of the crew.
Passing through the shadows of a gray building, and in the sometimes projected sunlight, Cameron couldn't help wrapping his arms around himself, rubbing up and down, trying to dispel the chill from his skin, but he was thinking and waiting in his mind. The question of what to eat for dinner, and suddenly thought that if it was a model, maybe they could have a big meal and a glass of wine together after work. Thinking of this, Cameron's footsteps couldn't help but brisk.
Not far away is the entrance of the "Love is the Only" crew. Since the crew did not receive media attention, the entrance seemed very deserted. They just stopped a vehicle fence and arranged for a security guard to sit at the door. Beyond that, there is no protection whatsoever.
At this time, it was past four in the afternoon, the sun was hanging in the west, and the steel forest in New York cut the sunlight into countless pieces. The gap between the buildings made the wind blow more violently, and even the Hudson River came from the soles of the feet. The coolness of that water vapor. The crew is currently filming, all the noise has calmed down, there is only silence behind, and the roar of the car engine is faintly heard on the street not far from the front, which makes the place even more quiet, and the coldness seems to come from the scene. Cameron swarmed from all directions, which made Cameron quicken his pace.
Seeing a figure standing in front of the vehicle fence, when Cameron wanted to raise his hand to say hello, the whole person's movements were so stiff in place. It was not the model buddies she imagined, but a man.
The man was wearing a smoky grey long-sleeved sweater with dark blue washed jeans, a pair of dark brown lace-up boots, and a long black plum coat on his hands. He just stood there casually, and could only see one side, talking happily to the security guard guarding the gate, the smile on his face blooming proudly in the cold air.
A ray of sunlight penetrates the building and shines on the entire entrance. The cool light isolates the surrounding shadows. You can even clearly see the dust flying freely in the sunlight, making people think that it is only a step. Distance is two worlds.
The man seemed to have noticed Cameron's arrival, turned his head, and the smile on his face bloomed completely in an instant, the surrounding sunlight instantly became brighter, and the thin and cold light seemed to become Warm up, the cold of late autumn turns into fallen leaves in the air at this moment, swirling in the air and slowly falling, the sunlight that reaches the ground thousands of miles away releases endless heat in which smile, making the breeze become Get warm.
The man raised his hand and waved, smiling brightly, and waved to Cameron. The cool-toned crew-neck sweater reflected a faint light in the sunlight, looking so warm and soft. At this moment, the sun in front of me is like the whole world.
Cameron was stunned for a while, unable to recover, she couldn't believe her eyes, what she had imagined in her dream just happened so real, until the man shouted in a warm voice. Said, "Cameron!" This seemed to be a spell that had uncovered the spell, making Cameron run fast, she just wanted to run faster and faster.
Then, Cameron threw himself into the man's arms, and the man couldn't help but take three steps back due to the strong momentum, but he still chuckled lightly. Cameron hugged tightly like this, buried her head in the man's sweater, and breathed deeply. This familiar smell made her feel extremely happy.
