The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1070 The intersection of fiction and reality
There is no doubt that the focus of this scene is entirely on Kristen.

Kristen tried to be more restrained and avoid handling the situation like a melodramatic soap opera with all the shocks and surprises; she also tried to avoid handling the situation like a youth campus romance movie with all the threats and intimidation.

The script discussion before the start of filming told Kristen a cruel truth:

Sony Columbia wanted Mary Jane to be a vase and to play the role of a vase honestly, and no arc or performance mattered.

Kristen knows this, and she hasn't forgotten it, but that doesn't mean she allows her performance to smell... plastic.

Especially in front of Anson.

Because Kristen knew how successful Anson's performance was in "Spider-Man", and the character of Peter Parker was able to capture the hearts of the general public, which was inseparable from Anson's fresh and simple performance. Kristen didn't want to look too cheap in front of Anson's performance.

Unfortunately, this is not easy.

Sam actually hopes that the effect will be more dramatic and a little more exaggerated, because this kind of soap opera texture is exactly what Sony Columbia is pursuing.

Since the first part of the series is close to youth campus, the second part of the series should continue this texture, and even grasp the preferences of young people like "The Graduate".

This also puts Kristen in an awkward position, where it is difficult to strike a balance between her own insistence and the director's demands.

So, I kept hitting the wall and getting stuck, but the details were still wrong.

Frustration is inevitable.

Now, the opportunity came again, and Christen secretly told herself: You can do it! You must believe in yourself!
Then, he turned to look in the direction of the monitor and raised his hand to indicate that he was ready.

The noisy atmosphere in the theater quieted down and the theater entered shooting mode.

The lights are focused on the stage, while there are no lights in the auditorium. However, in order to ensure that Kristen has clear vision, the auditorium cannot be completely dark. A floor lamp is left at the position where Peter Parker should appear, so that Kristen can easily find the exact location where the performance breaks out.

Kristen closed her eyes and immersed herself in the role, carefully exploring the character's emotional context and sorting it out bit by bit.

"Start shooting!"

There was the sound of hitting the board next to my ears.

But Kristen was not in a hurry to speak her lines. When filming "Eternal Love", an important habit Kristen learned from Kate Winslet and Anson was:
Create a framework for your performance.

Don't follow your feelings, but be clear about the character's state, the direction of the emotional context and the changes in the relationship between the characters in the scene, etc. Finally, find a framework and release the energy bit by bit. At this time, allow yourself to lose control within the framework and give yourself to your feelings.

This scene was not that difficult. She could see the context and framework, so she just needed to be patient and clear her mind.

One second, two seconds——

She is ready.

Opening her eyes, she looked at her co-actor, the actor in the stage play, and gave him a look to indicate that she was ready.

on the stage.

A man stood up, turned around and faced the woman sitting at the afternoon tea table, and said in a clear voice, "Actually, I'm not a bad person. Don't treat me as a bad person."

The woman smiled and looked at the man with a smile in her eyes, "If you are not, then you are deceiving us, and this behavior is unforgivable."

"I hope you're not a two-faced person, acting bad on the surface but actually being very kind at heart. That would be too hypocritical..."

The woman smiled and acted with ease. She glanced at the audience seats and easily caught sight of that person among the faces.

Anson Wood.

Kristen was stunned, completely stunned. Her mind went blank. She forgot everything about the performance and the role, and even lost the ability to react.

transfixed.

The conversation in her ear continued, "Of course, I was a little bad before." However, Christen didn't hear it at all. Her ears automatically blocked out all the sounds around her and fell into the rabbit hole, entering a completely different world.

Anson? Why is Anson here? When did Anson arrive on the set?

Wait, or is this just my illusion?
But how should she face Anson? Although Sony Columbia failed to replace the actor in the end, Anson kept his job; but did Jake Gyllenhaal contact Anson? If so, did they talk it over? If not, what should she do?
To be honest, it was impossible to distinguish those bustling and complicated thoughts. They surged up all at once, and the taste of joy mixed with bitterness spread on the tip of my tongue.

Kristen didn't even have time to think about the performance or the role, nor did she worry about how to film. She just froze and stood there.

For one second, just that short second, time and space all pressed the pause button, and it seemed that everything else no longer mattered.

then.

Kristen saw Anson's smile rise up and he mouthed silently, "Hey."

Gently, sunny, and brightly, a ray of dawn lit up in the endless darkness and fell on Christen's heart.

At this moment, those upsets and random thoughts no longer seem important.

A smile quietly crept up the corners of Kristen's mouth and slowly blossomed. She also mouthed silently, "Hey."

——“I am very happy.”

someone shouted.

At the side of the stage, someone shouted in a low voice, but the problem was that the theater's acoustics were excellent. If this person wanted Christen to hear what he said, it meant that the audience in the front row of the theater would be able to hear it as well.

Huh? Wait, who's calling? What's going on?

The atmosphere is slightly subtle.

At this time, you can see Anson slightly raise the end of his eyebrows and signal with his eyes.

Kristen was a beat slower, staring at Anson's expression. She was startled, pulled away from the impact of her thoughts, and subconsciously looked around:

Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
——"I am. Very. Happy."

On the side stage, the voice was reminding her word by word, catching Christen's gaze.

Christen saw the stage manager standing on the side stage, his face full of pleading, looking at her with extremely sad eyes, encouraging her to continue.

However, Kristen was a little confused.

Who is she, Kirsten Dunst or Mary Jane?

The fourth wall between performance and reality, film and life, disappears completely.

When Kristen saw Anson, when Mary Jane saw Peter, two completely different yet familiar scenes merged together, connecting seamlessly. The conflicting emotions of joy and nervousness, uneasiness and relief rolled into a ball, surging in her chest like a hurricane.

So, what's going on now?

She is Mary Jane, and also Kristen.

So, how should she respond?

True and false, real and unreal, are all intertwined.

Subconsciously, Christen looked towards the monitor for help. Should they NG?

Her sight just drifted over and then retracted. She had already wasted enough time here today. If she continued to waste time...

Before Kristen realized it herself, her eyes were on Anson again.

So, what now?
