The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 119 Character Life
"Card!"

Gary, spoke up.

Even though he really, really didn't want to interrupt filming, it really should be over.

Wonderful, wonderful beyond words!

One look, one smile, this is enough, not only showing Michael's secret love for Mia, but also showing Michael's trust in Mia.

He saw the tenacity and courage in her, and used music to channel this inner strength, allowing her to dare to sing loudly.

Although it was just a music class, even though it was just a chorus of a group of students, it was nothing, but Mia still found herself in the predicament.

and!

There is coming and going——

Anne Hathaway was able to feel the power delivered by Anson without any preparation. She did not dodge or be confused, but stepped into the role and used her performance to catch the power, and on this basis Follow the trend and complete a beautiful arc.

This is the rivalry.

Two young people who were just starting out and had limited experience worked together to perform this scene, sparking a collision that made the whole plot complete and full.

The emotions and content are enriched all at once, so that the purpose and functionality of the whole scene suddenly become three-dimensional. This can also be the first seed for Michael to plant an impression in Mia's heart, happening quietly.

wonderful!
Gary couldn't help but get excited. Who could refuse such a job?

This is how inspiration comes from collision.

"it is good!"

Gary gave a thumbs up and generous applause for both actors.

The crowd of people around looked at Gary and then at Anson, feeling even more envious and jealous. They didn't expect that Anson had done it again.

Gary didn't pay attention to those looks, his attention was entirely on Annie and Anson.

"Annie, beautiful!"

Gary complimented.

"Next, we need to change the camera position to capture a close-up. The eyes and emotions just now were very good. Just follow this context and perform."

In just a few words, Gary didn't give any guidance, he just gave a few pointers, and then changed the camera position to continue filming. It took another half an hour to finally complete the scene, which can be seen from Gary's expression and movements. , he was very satisfied.

Isn't this obvious to Gary?
Michael's first appearance allows the audience to understand his thoughts.

In Michael's second appearance, he and Mia had a knowing interaction.

These contents are also included in the script, but they appear flat and rough, without a clear context, and can even be said to be unclear.

But now, without changing the script, Anson has given the character of Michael room to breathe and extend in subtle but effective ways, even grabbing the plot and creating a character arc just right.

The character of Michael is not only three-dimensional, but also vivid, and has his own story line and arc. Is all this really happening?

--Wow!
What else can you do but marvel?

Maybe that's all a director asks of an actor. The actor not only meets all his expectations, but also gives him more inspiration, triggering brainstorming in the director's mind, and he can't help but start creating, and finally allows the director to re-evaluate his ideas. The actor asked for more.

Gary has been working in Hollywood for more than 40 years. He has heard of such actors before, but this is the first time he has encountered such an actor. The feeling... is too exciting to be simply described in words.

Gary, here's an idea.

Of course, Gary was not prepared to add more drama to Anson. He was experienced enough and smart enough to know that adding a love line would destroy the balance and integrity of other narratives. It was a wrong decision and could lead to a disastrous ending.

But Gary is willing to lay a hidden line for the emotional interaction between Michael and Mia within the existing framework structure, making the happy ending of love more convincing. Now he needs to make more demands on Anson.

But I don’t know whether this young man is qualified for such a challenge?
Gary, looking forward to it. "Card!"

The scene in front of him was all filmed, and Gary declared it over with satisfaction. He stood up from behind the monitor and walked towards Anson again.

This is not the first time the crew has seen this scene, but they still can’t help but be surprised every time they see it——

Anson is not the protagonist.

In terms of roles, he was not even in the top five in this movie, but since the filming started, Gary has never concealed his admiration for Anson. Is this normal?

"Anson."

There was a hint of appreciation and affection in Gary's eyes, as if he was looking at his grandson——

Don’t get me wrong, it’s the literal meaning.

"Very good. It seems that this is the real surprise you have prepared today."

Anson smiled and said, "I'm just trying to be an actor."

"Haha." Gary was amused by Anson's words, confident but not arrogant, "Then, there is another test next, and I am also looking forward to surprises."

Anson's eyes lit up: Here we come!

Just like what Sandra Oh showed in "Grey's Anatomy", through her understanding of the character, the plot, and the entire blueprint framework, she injects life into the character, so that he/she is no longer a tool for copying lines by the screenwriter. , but a person with the ability to think on his own.

When a character has vitality, it is not that the character follows the plot, but that the plot naturally extends from the character.

Now, Anson has done it too.

Anson showed a smile and did not speak. He just looked at Gary confidently, expressed his determination with his eyes, and waited quietly.

Gary nodded slightly with satisfaction, "You should know Michael's next scene, right?"

Anson nodded, "Yes, garage."

In "The Princess Diaries", Michael's scenes all revolve around Mia and serve Mia's story line.

Mia's mother bought her a 1966 Ford Mustang, which was her treasure number one.

Because in the United States, you can take a driver's license test at the age of sixteen, Mia has been waiting for her sixteenth birthday to take the driver's license test, and then she can drive on the road by herself.

However, the old Mustang was in need of repairs and lots and lots of help, so Mia put the Mustang in a garage hoping the professionals could bring it back to life.

It just so happened that Michael also worked in a car repair shop.

The following scene is the very rare time Michael and Mia spend alone together, and it is also Michael's third official appearance in the movie.

A very important scene.

In the script, Mia is so frustrated by the high cost of repairs that she's not sure she can admit it, and then Michael tells the garage owner that his work is free of labor.

In other words, this is still a scene where Michael further reveals that he has a crush on Mia. Even the owner of the garage noticed it, but Mia still didn't.

In the existing script, the plot is just like this, there is nothing more -

In Michael's first three appearances, all the scenes have the same tone, showing that he has a crush on Mia in different ways.

But now, things have changed slightly.

Michael had already developed vitality in the first and second scenes, and Gary felt that, perhaps, he could develop further in the third scene.

　The fifth update.
