The next day, the shooting of "Boom Drummer" went smoothly.

On the third day, the filming of "Boom Drummer" continued steadily.

The entire crew was running at high speed without any unexpected episodes.

The most worrying Simmons did not fall into a slump and quickly recovered. He did not lose control because he was too deep into the play, nor did he blur the reality because of his dedication. After a night, he woke up from the dream, woke up, and returned to his state.

In the final analysis, among those difficult scenes, Simmons was not the dominant party, but the party who was passively caught in the state. After he got out of the performance environment, he gradually recovered. For the crew, this is a good thing; for Simmons himself, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, no one else knows.

As for Renly, it is still the most stable and reliable part of the crew.

The shooting sequence was disrupted because of the shooting location. Now the actor must take a step back from the perfect state of madness and go back to the out of control state. For the actor, this is an extremely difficult step. After all, the actor is not a video tape. It is very difficult to adjust your mentality and control your emotions.

But the fact is that Renly's performance is so easy and light, the level of control and expressiveness is truly astounding.

For laymen, to express it in the most vulgar terms, it is "yesterday was a self-destructive lunatic, and today he is back to the innocent little deer before he became a lunatic", even if they do not understand the context of the character and the power of performance, they are still Be able to read the difference between madness and vulnerability.

For any director, having such a top-tier actor is extremely fortunate, and it is even more so for a novice director like Damien: so he can spend more time and The energy is in the aspects of picture composition, shot scheduling, and thought extraction.

In just two days, the shooting of "Boom Drummer" is coming to an end. Today, tea time has not yet come, and the crew only has the last scene left.

This play is actually very special.

After Andrew and Fletcher reunited, Fletcher threw the bait and made Andrew pick up the drums again and decided to join a brand new band to participate in the opening performance of the jvc music festival, which was a step back to life for Andrew , He hopes that he can truly enjoy the joy and joy of music, temporarily put aside Buddy Ritchie and Charlie Parker, and purely believes that he still has talent in drums, and he really loves it.

Before the show officially started, Andrew hesitated for a long time whether he should call Nicole. When he was determined to be ready to perform on stage, Andrew finally dialed the number and sent an invitation to Nicole, asking if Nicole would like to come to Carnegie Hall to watch the performance, but Nicole said that she had to ask herself boyfriend.

That's all.

Andrew suddenly realized what he had sacrificed in order to play the drums and achieve greatness, not only his dreams and hobbies, not only his first love and good memories, but also the pure and persistent, pure and enthusiastic Himself, everything has been wiped out, but he himself can't tell the difference.

Does he regret it?

This kind of doubt and distress was not able to find the answer immediately, but then during the stage performance, Fletcher detonated the trap that had been planted in advance, pushing Andrew into the bottomless abyss, which also induced Andrew With his determination and sternness, he not only completed the "Father Killing", but also completely cut off all the involvement and scruples, and completely focused on the drums. Here comes the breakthrough of art and the achievement of perfection.

In the script, Damien did not explain: Is it worth it?

In order to achieve the perfection of art,

Is it worth it to push musicians to the extreme like Fletcher did? Or, in order to achieve the ultimate in art, is it worth it to cut off all love and friendship like Andrew? Or, in order to shine the light of talent, is it worth torturing yourself to the point of being bruised and bruised like Fletcher and Andrew?

The correctness of these three views is not what "Booming Drummer" needs to discuss, and it has never been the focus of the film; Damien just hopes to present a form or a state of art, at least, this is perfection one of the ways. It's objective whether people like it or not; and there are people who have had success.

As for how people feel, this needs to be left to the audience to judge for themselves.

If someone hates Andrew and Fletcher, then Damien's purpose has been achieved, because he himself has the same feelings for the former high school band teacher; if someone expresses admiration and reliance on Andrew and Fletcher, it also means that Damien's idea worked because art itself was brewed in disaster.

Damien chose this scene as the finale because of a Simmons joke.

"Have you ever heard of it? If a movie ends with Renly's eyes as its finale, then the movie can be a success. Love Crazy, Cancer-fighting Me, Edge of Tomorrow, Transcendence...all of them This is true, not long ago, I heard that at the Cannes Film Festival, the same is true of drunken folk ballads."

It was supposed to be a joke, but Damien took it seriously.

The final scene of "The Bursting Drummer" can't be modified, Damien still prefers Andrew's drum beat to detonate the entire jazz band's performance, pushing the atmosphere to the high tide, and then the screen goes black instantly, and the movie ends; however, the final scene is still completed. It can be adjusted, so Damien chose this scene.

In fact, the choice of this scene was also approved by all the crew members.

Because the filming job is very simple, a fixed shot of a single camera, close-up of Renly's face and eyes, and then... there is no other preparation work to be done, in other words, the director and cameraman only need to set up the camera, After setting up the microphone, everyone can stand behind the monitor and wait for the work to be finished.

All it takes is Renly to finish the show, and that's enough.

So, the final scene was decided.

...

The other end of the phone belonged to Nicole's voice, which was completely recorded before Melissa Benoist left the crew, and it was enough to add it in in post-production; while during the live shooting, the one who was in charge of the scene with Renly, It was Rooney who came to visit the class. At Renly's invitation, Rooney nodded happily.

"...Well, I don't know, I have to ask my boyfriend."

Nicole's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone, and Andrew was stunned for a while. Unconsciously, his fingertips folded slightly. His wounded fingers clenched the black phone case, and he could still vaguely see the band-aid attached to it. With blood stains, he lowered his eyes, covering up the flash of bitterness and panic, all the anxiety and anticipation, all the tension and hesitation, all the excitement and worry... All of them just dimmed.

"...Okay." After a pause for at least two seconds, Andrew squeezed out an "ok" from the depths of his throat, gently closed his jaw, his drooping eyes concealed the confusion in his heart, and then unconsciously added, "Yeah." It's just an onomatopoeia, and my brain is in a mess, and I can't find a more suitable word for a while.

silence.

Andrew lowered his jaw slightly, sparse rays of light fell down, long eyelashes projected on his cheeks, and the gray fragility leaked out little by little.

In the end, it was the other end of the phone who spoke first, "I'll ask him. But I don't think he's interested in the Jazz."

Andrew reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, "Yes, of course, not everyone likes it." The hoarse voice was slightly choked, so that the words became even more muffled, he tried to smile, trying to hide his own Emotions, I hope to be able to pass the smile through the phone. Don't let yourself sound so miserable.

"..." There was another long silence, this time Andrew was the first to speak, "Okay, then... maybe I can see you there when the time comes."

"it is good."

"Okay, bye."

The phone was hung up like this, and the arc of the smile that was raised high at the corner of Andrew's mouth still maintained. He maintained this movement and quietly stared ahead, but the focus and focal distance had been dispersed, and the smile was imprinted like a model. The corners of the mouth, the arc is still the same, the smile is no longer.

In the depths of those light brown eyes, the last little smile slowly dissipated like this, the light in the eyes slowly dimmed, lost and confused, confused and sad, the large gray It's drowning.

This made Andrew a little embarrassed. He raised his right hand, scratched his neck unconsciously, lowered his head, and tried to sort out his emotions, but when he looked up again, the sadness and loneliness still lingered, and then he just froze. Staring straight ahead in a daze, the incomparably bright curvature of the corners of his mouth did not have the warmth of a smile, he deliberately pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to make the smile brighter, but failed.

The corners of the raised mouth slowly calmed down, and there was a faint tear in his eyes, hazy and blurry, but before he had time to gather, he blinked to cover up all the mist, and his eyes returned to dryness again. And calm, staring at the front serenely, like a calm lake.

On the surface of the deep and deep lake, no one can detect the intricacies under the water.

Quietly, just like that.

...

From Andrew to Andrew, from Renly to Renly, they have all completed their own transformation and ushered in their own new life. They may seem calm on the surface, but the essence hidden in the depths of their souls is completely different. .

He is Renly Sebastian Hall. At the end of the line of sight, Chu Jiashu was waving goodbye and walking away; when the line of sight became clear again, he saw Rooney who was standing next to the monitor in charge of speaking.
