1391 Hidden Easter Egg
Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com
Looking at the professional musicians chatting, chattering, and talking, Austin felt a little powerless.
He now finally understands why those top actors need to own vans, isolate themselves from the masses, and enjoy a relatively independent space. It can be considered that they are playing big names, but it can also be considered a necessary means.
Because the extras and actors are still outsiders standing on the periphery of Vanity Fair, they are inevitably curious and excited when they pry into it. There are countless positive and negative reactions, good and bad; in the hustle and bustle, negative influences are inevitable, and I don't say whether it will affect the actor's preparation and performance rhythm, but it is certain that the actor has absolutely no way to calm down and rest.
Standing under the spotlight, the scenery is infinite, but behind it, you must shoulder a huge pressure. Every step forward will only get more and more difficult, just like Michael Jackson, who really felt the loneliness and loneliness of the heights, and a little bit of inattentiveness may be shattered.
After including the egot Grand Slam in a history-making gesture, Renly has also become such a target, the eyes of those jealous, curious, contemptuous, disdainful, excited, expecting, ubiquitous, shrouded in a net like a heaven and earth, fundamentally. There is no chance of escape.
But what it really feels like to be in it, others have no way of knowing, and even speculation and suspicion can't find the entry point, because Renly is the only creator of history who has reached such a high level.
Breathing out a breath, Austin looked at Renly in the distance with worry, wondering if Renly would be able to devote himself to the shooting of the next scene. Although he knew that he was just a small actor, and had no responsibility or qualification to worry about Renly, he was still a little embarrassed at this time.
Immediately, Austin felt a sight, and it was Nate's.
Nate's eyes were also slightly helpless, and he laughed dumbly. Although he didn't speak, his expression clearly expressed the meaning, as if to say: It's getting more and more lively for laymen to watch the fun.
The two of them both laughed lightly, and then their eyes were projected towards Renly at the same time. For a while, it was hard to tell what the emotions were, after all, they had never worked with Renly.
Unlike well-known veteran actors such as Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, Renly's time before the public eye is still too short, and the news is too rare and rare, more or less covered with a layer of mystery , After experiencing egot, this veil seems to become more hazy. Intriguing and alienating.
"Ready? Five minutes later, we're going to start shooting."
The voice of the drama manager rang out, and the figures who were discussing Xixi Susuo stopped in unison, pretending that nothing had happened, but out of the corner of their eyes, they always focused on Ren Li, curious about what happened next. Every move, unfortunately, nothing happened—
Renly was still sitting in the chair, still flipping through the script, still lost in thought.
Maybe, in five minutes, you can see a different face.
The next scene is the most difficult and important scene since the filming of the entire crew. All the focus is on Andrew and Fletcher. For Fletcher, this is to establish the character image. The key scene; for Andrew, this is a turning point that completely changes the nihilistic fantasy, and even the first step to change the character.
This is Andrew's first day in the band.
Andrew listened in as a backup drummer, and then he saw Fletcher's sharpness and criticality. He could even clearly capture any slight flaw, as subtle as a quarter beat or even an eighth beat, and Accurately find the wrong person in the entire band; even more frightening is that the wrong person may not realize it himself, which also becomes a "crack in the perfect china", which can become a Fletcher humiliation at any time. Object.
In the baptism of fancy foul language, Fletcher scolded the chief trombone in the band and cried, completely collapsed, and finally the chief trombone was swept out of the house.
In fact, it was not the chief trombone that really went wrong, but someone else. However, in Fletcher's view, the psychological quality of the chief trombone is so bad that there is no need to stay.
As a bystander, Andrew was completely dumbfounded in such a shocking education. Before the joy and happiness of joining the band had settled down, he had already begun to worry about his future, because Fletcher said that after he came back from the rest, he would serve as the main force The drummer joins the ensemble, does this mean that... his strength is about to show?
Andrew couldn't help but recall that in the ordinary band, all the teammates thought he was inferior to the main drummer, and even complained about his terribleness.
That feeling of unconfident inferiority firmly grasped the heart. Andrew's fingertips were shaking.
Before the break was over, Fletcher held Andrew, who was uncomfortable with his hands and feet, and completed a warm conversation. He encouraged and cheered on from his teachers and friends, and even used Charlie Parker's story to inspire Andrew, which made him feel comfortable. Andrew's confidence began to gradually rise.
He was just a young boy who had just left high school. At the age of nineteen, he was the youngest member of a band ever, setting a record.
A little intimidation, he may be discouraged; a little encouragement, he may spring/light/bright/beautiful. He thought Fletcher was impressed with himself, he thought he
The shining points in himself were captured, he thought he was special, like the "chosen son", he thought he could be Buddy Ritchie, Charlie Parker.
So, Andrew walked into the rehearsal room with confidence.
What happened after that was the next scene.
In this rehearsal scene for Andrew's debut, Fletcher chose the song "whiplash". Music fans who know jazz can know that this has multiple meanings.
First of all, "whiplash", which is the name of the movie, literally translates to whipping or twisting, but it's just translated as "popping drummer" according to the mood of the movie.
Second, it's a real track, written by hank-levy, with a distinctly modern twist.
Again, this is a word to describe a strike technique. In the movie, Fletcher and Andrew are in the realm of four hundred strikes that they are striving for. One of the jazz drum techniques is called "moeller-techique", which is the height pursued by countless people. To increase hand speed, one of the most important movements is called "whiplash".
Finally, "whipping" is also a metaphor for Fletcher's educational philosophy and methods.
In other words, from the title of the movie to the appearance of the protagonist, Damien buried a series of easter eggs invisibly, refining the core idea of the whole movie, which also made the importance of the scene soar.
The other is a detail that Renly realized after learning the drums by himself. The track "Whiplash" is in 14/8 time, which can also be roughly understood as seven time.
Generally speaking, two or four beats are well-known rhythms. For example, in Renly's introductory learning process, from sixty to one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighty, the entire rhythm is based on two beats. In extension, the sense of rhythm is relatively easy to master; but seven beats is an irregular rhythm. For drummers, it needs to be based on more understanding and skills, and the difficulty is also increased exponentially.
Fletcher chose "whiplash". First, it can be seen from the side that the band's benchmark is high, which is not on the same level as the ordinary orchestra practice that Andrew and Turner had been in before; second, the side highlights Andrew's nervousness and experience After the tragic dismissal of the chief trombone just now, he can't go wrong now.
During the rest period, Andrew kept marking the sub-beat of "2+3+2" on his score, in other words, the first beat was two beats, the second beat was three beats, and the third beat was two beats. This puts forward higher requirements for the drummer's technique, as well as more uniform and steady control.
Only by truly understanding Andrew's situation and Fletcher's intentions, can we figure out the mood and emotions of this scene, and can really integrate into the whole movie.
Just five minutes was enough for Renly.
Because his preparations started a long time ago, he just speculated on the details of his emotions during the lunch break, and was completely immersed in Andrew's world, from anticipation to fear, from anxiety to excitement, When it comes to banging on the head, those emotional changes are not gradual, but ups and downs, even more exciting than bungee jumping.
"...Renly?"
Damien waited impatiently, but he didn't dare to interrupt Renly's preparation rhythm.
Renly didn't pause, stood up straight, showed a shy and nervous smile, and walked to the drum set under the attention of everyone. Just like Andrew Neiman.
With a little excitement and anticipation in the nervousness, under the encouragement of Fletcher, he believed that he was unique and that he had unique characteristics, so he joined the band. What he needed was not fear and fear, It's about relaxing, really relaxing, and playing in your own style.
All the members of the band were watching him, a nineteen-year-old rookie who had just joined the band.
But Andrew was not afraid at all, because he believed that he could be a blockbuster.
