Movie Master

Emma stared at Lance intently, her eyes glowed with joy, and the excitement permeated from every detail of her body.

Lance was quite surprised, and there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes, I thought your first reaction after hearing this script should be fear or fright, you know, you are underage. Little Red Riding Hood counterattacked the big bad wolf The story, so bloody and violent, is definitely not suitable for children for minors.

Emma couldn't help thinking about it, and then the panic in her eyes gradually enlarged little by little. She raised her hands to cover her ever-opening mouth, her face full of astonishment. It was half a beat late, but the right emotion finally came, which made Lance laugh out loud and shook his head, I don't think you are suitable for the role of Hailey.

Hailey has a rock and roll vibe in her bones, and Emma has a sweet temperament. This is not a problem at all. If used well, it can create more contrasting effects, but Emma lacks that vigor, not like an executioner. The executioner is more like a guardian like a nurse.

Emma didn't answer right away, she was still in shock, her eyes widened, she shook from side to side in panic, then leaned over and whispered, You mean, Hailey is going to... Ma's eyes couldn't help but glanced at Lance's lower body, Lance was very calm, but Emma blushed, blushing, and quickly avoided his sight, Wow. Emma seemed to really understand the meaning of the word castration at this time, and the impact was a bit too fierce - she still has her first kiss to this day.

Emma's mind was in such a mess that she had to force herself to divert attention, otherwise her imagination would not know where it would go, Yes, I know, I mean... I know there is something between me and Hailey. There's a big difference. Emma managed to sort out her thoughts clearly, Actually, Hailey and I should be two completely different people, I guess. Emma's expression looked a little shy, but she still didn't have much confidence , but his gaze was extremely firm, and he never flinched, But it is because of this that I want to play this role even more. This is definitely an excellent opportunity to challenge myself, isn't it?

The Emma in front of him reminded Lance of himself in the previous life when he just crossed over.

Not only laymen or beginners, but also many actors who have been immersed in acting for many years. There is always a misunderstanding about acting. It is impressive, they wholeheartedly believe that only by playing a role that is very different from their own image, or is the opposite, can they polish their acting skills and prove their abilities and talents.

But really good actors should understand that the external image is part of the performance, and good actors need to learn to use their appearance and integrate into the performance. Or follow the image, develop it, and inject a more vivid soul into the character. For example, Tom Hanks' performance in Forrest Gump is simple and honest, sincere and kind, and replaces the image of Forrest Gump from the big screen into every day. or use the image to create a contrast and make the image a deceptive link. For example, Kevin Spacey's performances in The Seven Deadly Sins and The Usual Suspects are ordinary and not at all. At first glance, it created a huge contrast with the villain's role, and then formed a shocking reversal.

Simply put, appearance should be one of the show weapons.

In Fruit Candy, for example, Emma was Hayley, which was an option. Because Emma's sweet and bright image is easy to confuse, she sticks out her fangs in the second half of the story, like a piranha, pushing the audience's psychological impact to the extreme. But this requires the actor's strong control and precise expression. A wolf in sheep's clothing is not something any actor can do.

Even top actors like Tom Hanks and Jack Nicholson must be constrained by their appearance. Let Tom play the role of the Joker in Batman, the effect is definitely not as good as Jack, and acting skills It has nothing to do with the inherent limitations of appearance, and of course, it is also related to the method of acting. How to effectively use one's appearance and highlight performance effects is a compulsory course for a top actor.

For most actors, they often don't have such ability, or they don't have such a deep understanding of the characters. They just deliberately create contrast for the sake of contrast. He ruined the character, ruined the performance, and ruined himself. The most classic case of bad casting in film history is George Clooney's Batman and Robin.

Lance made a similar mistake when he was studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and it was the same when Li Jin just crossed/passed over—even before he learned how to walk, he had already started thinking about figure skating.

Sin City is Emma's first movie. Her performance is very good, and her understanding of the characters is even more thorough than that of Jessica, which adds a lot to the movie, but after all, it is still too immature to challenge Hard Candy is a highly difficult work that depends on the performance of the heroine to affect the plot—and it is also an extraordinary performance that breaks the shackles of the image. Obviously, Emma is still not capable enough.

This may be an opportunity to challenge yourself, but it may also be an opportunity to destroy confidence, ruin the performance, and ruin the entire movie. Lance didn't go around in circles when he spoke, and said what he thought mercilessly.

Emma was not shocked, and still looked at Lance expectantly, But, don't even give me a chance to show off, don't you think it's too arbitrary?

What's more, you are underage and cannot participate in the performance. Although the laws and regulations of each state are different, Lance needs to inquire further, but it is certain that it is necessary for underage children to appear in films such as fetish/pedophilia It has been reviewed and approved at various levels, and the crew also needs to be stationed by corresponding official personnel for supervision.

In the script, Hayley is only fourteen years old and is an underage girl, but in the actual shooting, Lance does not intend to use underage girls, but girls over sixteen years old to avoid legal procedures. Trouble.

No! Emma raised her voice depressedly, her big eyes were full of anger, and she stared at Lance firmly, I'm already sixteen years old, I'm not underage! This time it was Lance's turn to reveal He showed a surprised expression, but immediately realized that Emma had emphasized it not long ago, but he didn't remember it at all. In his impression, Emma was just a child. Sixteen years old! Emma emphasized again and again.

Lance could clearly sense Emma's anger, he nodded slightly to apologize, Sorry. Then he said with a smile, If this is the case, then...Of course, audition opportunities are open to everyone, you You can also come and audition.

The so-called youth is to bury your head and run wildly regardless of the consequences, until your head is broken, your body is covered with bruises, and you are exhausted, and then learn to grow through repeated failures. Of course, it is also possible to create a world of your own in trying again and again. When I grow up, I learn to be rational, learn to measure, and learn to choose, and my youth disappears.

So, Emma deserves a chance to challenge herself. Lance shouldn't use the fixed concept of Emma's performance in his previous life to make random decisions.

After getting the permission, Emma just clenched her fist lightly, but didn't celebrate. She looked down at the script in Lance's hand, So, can I read the script now? Although she only worked with Lance once, But Emma knew that Lance was a director with a background in stage plays. He paid great attention to the actor's self-understanding of the role, as well as the actor's thinking about the script and the story. These invisible parts often become the factors that distinguish good and excellent, excellent and classic in finished movies.

Lance shrugged, and passed the script on his knee directly, However, others are not allowed to see it. If anyone wants to participate in the audition, let their agent contact them personally.

I know your habits, don't worry! Emma blinked playfully, then held the script and started to read directly, but Lance interrupted her action, Emma raised her head in confusion, You should go to bed. Lance confessed, Emma wailed speechlessly, I'm not a child anymore, can't I enjoy some time for myself when I'm on vacation?

It has nothing to do with age, it's just about women. You don't want to go to bed too late and ruin your skin. Lance said solemnly, Emma really couldn't laugh or cry, I don't need it! She is only sixteen years old That's all, there is no need to worry about his skin at all, but Lance doesn't care about it at all, he just looks at her firmly, there is a determination in his eyes that does not allow refutation.

Emma could only stand up holding the script, and then muttered in a low voice, So, it's beer again, and it's going to bed late, someone's skin looks terrible. After finishing speaking, Emma Without waiting for Lance to react, he quickly ran away, leaving Lance sitting there alone, and finally laughed dumbfounded.

After Emma returned to the villa next door, Lance realized that Dakota was still sleeping in the hall here. But looking back, Dakota still showed no sign of waking up, so he withdrew his attention again, and his thoughts returned to the script of Hard Candy.

After reading the first draft just now, there is not much difference from the finished movie in my impression. As a thriller movie, Brian's script has been done very well, layer by layer and slowly advance in a limited space, and there is not much room for modification in the control of the plot. Of course, this script is still a bit rough, and many scene details and lines of dialogue need to be polished, but compared to these contents, Lance feels that character creation is still the core issue, and this is also the finished product of Hard Candy in the previous life The core reason why the quality has not been able to improve to a higher level.
