The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 261 Emotional Brewing
The so-called large crew refers to the size. A small crew may have thirty or fifty people. However, the New York shooting team of the "Spider-Man" crew has as many as 360 people. This does not include the construction of the scenery at the Burbank Studio in Los Angeles. A large team responsible for post-production computer special effects.

It also refers specifically to the formation. There are countless crews who shoot movies in New York every week and every month, but almost no one would choose a place like the Metropolitan Museum of Art to shoot, because the crews all know how troublesome it is to maintain order on the scene, which requires countless manpower and material resources. energy.

The crew of "Spider-Man" applied to the New York City Hall for a filming permit three months in advance, and the crew went through the initial run-in period before committing to the filming of this scene. However, the chaos and noise of the actual situation still made the entire crew feel like Spin like a top.

Pressure, countless pressures, swarmed in, all piled on the actors——

If the filming goes well, they can finish the work as soon as possible and end this torture early.

But what if it keeps going NG?

In fact, the crew has already failed three times.

Every time it was NG, the scene needed to be readjusted, because Sam Raimi wanted to use natural light, and in New York in March, there was not enough natural light. The light perception may change subtly every five minutes and ten minutes, so that the crew was not allowed to Do not repeatedly adjust shooting parameters.

They didn't want the actors to look like zombies on the big screen.

NG three times, it was still within the tolerance range of the crew members, but the pressure was indeed increasing little by little; moreover, the onlookers at the scene did not help.

At the beginning of the year, Sony Columbia's studio was stolen and the news about the missing Spider-Man suit was really exciting, so much so that the media and paparazzi all paid attention; Sony Columbia's tight-lippedness only aroused the interest of the media, and paparazzi crowded around the crew and broke the news. continuous.

Just as the crew was about to start filming, the news that Anson was about to play Spider-Man could no longer be suppressed, and the media exploded and swarmed in.

Today's scene is no exception.

The all-pervasive paparazzi are scattered and hidden among the onlookers, stirring up excitement and watching the show, which also creates unnecessary trouble for the filming.

The crew, it’s difficult, it’s really difficult.

Cliff-Robertson sat in the driver's seat of the car, closed his eyes, and waited obediently for the makeup artist to apply oil and touch up his makeup.

“Sorry, I’m just an oil patch that looks like a snow globe on camera.”

puff.

The makeup artist couldn't hold back her laughter.

Cliff himself was no exception. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. After the makeup artist finished his work, he opened his eyes and noticed Anson in the passenger seat. He also had a smile in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth. He blinked and said, "Sorry. I shouldn’t have ruined your emotional brewing by joking.”

Anson shrugged slightly, "I can always blame someone else if I want to, like the terrible weather in New York today."

Cliff burst out laughing.

The tense atmosphere in the carriage relaxed a little——

Cliff Robertson, who plays Ben Parker, is Peter Parker's uncle.

Young audiences don't know much about Cliff, including Anson. The new generation knows him as Spider-Man's "Uncle Ben". However, the 77-year-old Cliff once had his own glory in Hollywood. .

He made his stage debut in 1952 and made his big-screen debut in 1955. He was good at singing and dancing. He was nominated for a Tony Award and won an Emmy Award. In 1968, he won the Oscar for Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "Charlie".

In other words, as early as thirty years ago, Cliff already had the status that countless actors dream of.

however.

In 1977, Cliff was involved in a corruption scandal at Columbia, and his acting career was forced to interrupt. He disappeared from the mainstream view overnight. He could only play supporting roles in some independent films and barely survive until the s. Only then was he accepted by mainstream labels again.

During "The Princess Diaries", Gary Marshall insisted on using Judy Andrews, allowing Judy to return to a mainstream production after ten years. The same goes for "Spider-Man" this time. Because of Sam Raimi's persistence, Cliff, who had been dormant for many years, finally got another chance to star in a mainstream movie.

The kind-hearted old man in front of him appeared in front of the camera again, and he seemed more calm and indifferent.

At this moment, the scene Cliff and Anson are filming is crucial——

After Peter Parker got super powers, the young man gradually became angry. He had been bullied in school and finally found a chance to fight back. This made him ecstatic and his self-confidence increased.

On the one hand, he wants to confess to Mary Jane; on the other hand, he is preparing to rely on his superpowers to go to an underground boxing match to show off his skills and earn pocket money.

However, Uncle Ben noticed the changes.

Originally, Uncle Ben thought it was just hormonal changes in teenagers; but after hearing the news from the school, Uncle Ben was worried that Peter would go astray, so when escorting Peter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he tried to persuade Peter, but Peter was full of thoughts. Heading to an underground boxing match, I couldn't listen to it at all.

In a hurry, the two broke up unhappy.

They never expected that this would be their last farewell.

That night, Peter deliberately let go of the robbers in order to retaliate against the organizers of the underground boxing match. In the process of escaping, he killed Uncle Ben, who came to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to take Peter home. Because of Peter's thought, he and his uncle ended up... This separates yin and yang.

In other words, this scene gave Peter a shock in terms of family relationships, youth, growth, etc., and he had to start to face his superpowers.

Shooting is not easy.

Among the three NGs, Anson twice and Cliff once.

After waiting for the make-up artist and other staff to leave, Cliff looked at Anson and spoke bluntly without mincing words.

"You're still too tight. Why, are you stressed?"

Ansen was stunned——

Indeed, he has.

It is different from any previous filming, not to mention "Friends" and "Princess Diaries", even the previous filming of "Spider-Man" is different. Today, Anson has a huge pressure on his shoulders and needs to use his performance to give the character Layers and depth.

In his previous life, Tobey Maguire's performance in this scene was still too thin, too direct, superficial, and completely idolatry. Faced with Cliff, an old drama star, he was unable to collide in the scene of rivalry between you and me. There are sparks, so much so that the emotions delivered by Cliff are not thick enough.

It's not that it's not good, it's just a little bland.

A rivalry scene requires the cooperation of two people to make it exciting.

Anson hopes he can perform better.

But obviously, it's not easy.

Cliff didn't wait for an answer, but he didn't need an answer. It could be seen from Anson's expression that there were mixed emotions surging in his eyebrows and eyes.

Cliff continued.

"I believe that you have constructed the entire picture in your mind and have the effect you want to achieve, but when it comes to performance, the harder you use it, the more likely it is that you will not be able to achieve the effect."

"It's better to relax, let your instincts take its course."
