[American Entertainment] Bright life

This play is that Briony attended the wedding of her cousin Laura and Paul Marshall—the rich businessman who actually raped Laura, played by Benedict—and saw Laura walking towards her at the wedding With Marshall, the memory of that chaotic night five years ago poured out like an opened Pandora's box, making Briony truly realize what a stupid thing she did back then!

Briony was slapped on the stupid coastal rocks by the tide of guilt, and there was a trace of unspeakable emotions mixed with the raging tide. Driven by these complex emotions, Briony finally got the courage to go Find her sister Cecilia, and Robbie, and apologize to them.

"Grace, are you ready?" Joe White asked Grace expectantly, but on the set, except for the director who had really seen Grace's acting skills, the rest of the staff were skeptical. I was surprised to find that after Grace signaled her to be ready, she still looked like a proud swan in the nurse's uniform of that era. Grace, who had an aloof expression, changed her whole demeanor: the usual aloof expression on her face receded like a tide, and changed. He became uneasy, and revealed this by pursing the corners of his mouth tightly; the gray-blue eyes that were originally bright and cold, reminiscent of frozen lake water, also took on the temperature that ordinary people should have; Slightly stooped, she took two steps forward, paused for a while, pinched her fingers, and then mustered up the courage to move forward... In this way, the feeling was completely different, as if that blonde hair, It's not as dazzling as it used to be.

This is obviously a sensory illusion caused by the large gap between the front and rear.

Didn't you say you don't have any acting experience?

However, the staff were puzzled, and the filming of this scene started after Joe White said "start"——

Briony, played by Grace, came to the apartment that Cecilia rented. The landlady called Cecilia on the first floor, and Cecilia, played by Keira Knightley, heard the sound. She was still wearing Nightgown, neat makeup and hair, and seductive red lips, when looking down at Briony, Briony's eyes almost hurt, she subconsciously wanted to blink, but she saw her sister whom she hadn't seen in five years Joy overwhelmed the guilt, but Cecilia's downcast face made the joy not last long, and then she fell down.

At this time, the camera has turned to Grace, and the emotional changes in her eyes have been recorded exactly. She has already expressed her mood completely without needing to speak.

Joe White felt the play in Grace's eyes again behind the camera. Those were a pair of smart eyes. He was considering whether to separate a camera to capture the close-up.

While Joe White was thinking, Briony had followed Cecilia into the door, and Cecilia was standing in front of the cabinet smoking a cigarette.After looking around, Briony finally mustered up the courage to speak again: "So you are the head nurse of the ward now?"

Before she finished speaking, Cecilia quickly said, "Yes."

The sharp tone made Briony's courage falter again.

Knightley looked at Grace, who played Brioni, coldly. She didn't like this girl with a superior look all day long, especially when she met her.Knightley's anger had almost dissipated at first, but today when he saw Grace, who was coming over from all over the world, the unknown anger was picked up again.For this kind of newcomer who has no acting experience, it is not difficult for Knightley to find his way back.It just so happens that Cecilia is the sarcastic type, and it's perfectly normal to fight against Briony, who ruined Robbie, isn't it?

Knightley is now known as the 'British Rose' and she already knows how to capture the camera, like now, she steps up to Grace with a cigarette case, and James McAvoy is playing Robbie When I came out of the bedroom, I went into the kitchen to fetch water, and then brought out the kettle. It was as if Grace’s movements followed Knightley’s own movements. To outsiders, Grace looked like Undoubtedly passive.

Joe White frowned, but didn't stop.

The next thing is that Robbie, who was wronged and imprisoned, was forced to go to the battlefield in an explosive scene, and the focus was naturally on McAvoy, who yelled at Grace and blushed.

Briony, who was cowardly unable to speak under his continuous questioning, even Cecilia, who was originally angry, seemed to be blurred.

"...You and your family believe that no matter how much education I have, a servant is not much better, and it is still not worth trusting! Thanks to you, they have the opportunity to send me to the front line, and send me to the tiger's mouth!" Robbie's emotions came up layer by layer, he couldn't bear it anymore, he approached Briony, his hands raised, it felt as if he was going to strangle Briony's neck the next moment Same, the look is too scary.

Originally here, Briony was going to retreat to the wall in fright, but the hand raised by the furious Robbie was held by Cecilia, and then she comforted Robbie with love words and kisses.

However, when Grace took a step back in fright, she stopped. Her lips squirmed. At this time, any words were pale. Her expression changed in an instant, she moved the corners of her mouth, and met Robbie's eyes, which was immersed in rage, and the emotions conveyed in those eyes were not complicated, "Yeah, it's just like what you said", which is irrelevant. Yi is adding fuel to the fire, as if it is more enraged to let Robbie hit her.

McAvoy, who was still immersed in Robbie's emotions, became even more annoyed by this look, and he didn't stop the waving hand at all. Although McAvoy came to his senses at the end, the waving hand The hand still shoves Grace against the wall behind her.

McAvoy's hand was still in the air. He didn't hear the director call to stop, so he continued to wave his hand again. At this time, Knightley finally came to his senses and stepped forward to hold McAvoy. With his hand, he took over the scene on the script.

"Quick, aim the camera!"

The camera Joe White said was naturally not the kissing Cecilia and Robbie, but Briony who was pushed and hit the wall. She seemed to react belatedly and was knocked down. How painful the place is, but it is still not as painful as her heart.She stared blankly at her sister and Robbie who showed her affection in front of her, the man she had admired when she was ignorant when she was young, recalling that she jumped into the lake, Robbie who jumped off without any hesitation, and then recalled These five years, the broken relationship, and even the crueler truth... Compared with that pain, the pain of being pushed against the wall and hitting your back is nothing at all.

The picture in front of her was so beautiful that Briony couldn't bear it anymore. She rubbed her arms against the wall and turned to the window. She obviously didn't cry, but the deep sadness was still conveyed.At this time, Cecilia and Robbie, who pressed their foreheads against each other, also became the catalyst for this deep-seated sadness.

Briony's tears eventually fell, when she finally explained what happened to Robbie and Cecilia, but still was not forgiven by them, and was almost kicked out of their apartment.

The camera zooms out, in front of the window sill on the second floor, the off-white curtains are blown by the wind, the picture of a couple embracing a lover is very warm and beautiful, while Brioni is standing against the wall downstairs, taking out the Originally, Cecilia handed her the cigarette. She lit the cigarette very strangely, brought it to her mouth and took a puff. Big tears fell down with suppressed coughing...

At this time, the shooting has been moved from the original indoor space to the outdoor space, which was not originally a closed space, but the sadness still lingers.The on-site staff, especially the cameraman Seamus McGarvey, he felt Grace's acting skills most deeply besides Joe White. Share sadness to affect.

It wasn't until Joe White yelled "This is over! Take a 10-minute break" that they all came back to their senses. By this time, their perception of Grace had completely changed: It really didn't seem like they had no acting experience at all. newcomer!

Of course, this scene was not done in one go, there were only two 'CUT's in the middle, one of which was after Grace hit the wall and looked out the window.Grace had a flash of inspiration. Strictly speaking, she did not tamper with the script without authorization. The script is far from being as detailed as outlined. Some of it only has the basic exit/exit, providing the narration and lines needed for the scene, and the rest depends on the performance of the actors themselves. and director's guidance.In terms of action, it was basically an actor's play, just like Knightley handed a cigarette to Grace earlier.

However, when it was CUT instead of NG, Knightley, who realized that he reacted a little slower, asked Joe White to retake it in the past. When it was necessary to shoot, I just took a few close-up shots.Another pause was also to make up close-up shots, so all in all, the shooting of the three-person rivalry went smoothly, and Joe White was particularly satisfied.

……

Because it was filmed outdoors, Raymond, who finally had the opportunity to watch the filming scene, was not surprised by Grace's superb acting skills. As expected, he saw Grace who was still immersed in sadness at the last moment. After Joe White finished speaking tears and said goodbye Just accept it, and immediately break away from Briony's personality.She took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tears from her face, and in the blink of an eye she was Grace Green again.

——Out of the play is as fast as in the play.

Raymond took Grace aside, and was about to ask her how she felt about filming for the first time, when suddenly the phone rang, and Raymond took out the phone to check the caller ID, cleared his throat and said, "I Go to the side and answer the phone."

Grace raised the corners of her eyes slightly, it was obvious that what Raymond did in front of her was just 'to cover up', she knew who the caller was without Raymond telling him.

Grace, while acting out the purpose of her current brother Angus Green calling Raymond, put the lit cigarette into her mouth between the middle finger and ring finger of her right hand. She is not like her The second brother Sherlock is addicted to cigarettes, and usually smokes and likes the spicy type. She follows her elder brother Mycroft more, and occasionally smokes the low-tar type.This cigarette was not. Grace squinted her eyes from the white smoke, and she frowned, not intending to push herself any further.

Little did she know that the female makeup artist who came over to touch up her makeup was so haggard that she couldn't wait to be seduced by the combination of cigarettes, red lips, blond hair and vague mood.Is that cigarette really that good to smoke?She thought in a daze.
