The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 289 It doesn’t have to be perfect
Sam withdrew his gaze and looked at Anson with a serious look on his face, "Beagle remembers to take a walk often."

Anson:? ? ?
Kristen:? ? ?
The air was slightly quiet, and a row of crows flew overhead.

Anson, "Director, did you just make a joke?"

Sam's face was expressionless, as if "I don't understand what you are talking about". He did not respond to Anson and continued talking on his own.

"The scene just now was not perfect, but I liked it very much."

Sitting behind the monitor, Sam was able to take control of the situation. He knew clearly that there were a series of mistakes in this shooting and it was obviously not perfect.

Such as background sound details.

Logically speaking, this is something that should be considered in advance before shooting; but occasionally, it is okay to adjust the details according to the conditions on the shooting scene.

Regardless, this is what they need to deal with in the course of their work.

Anson stopped joking and raised his hands to admit his mistake, "I just kicked the chair leg."

Christen's face was full of astonishment, "What? When did it happen? Why didn't I notice it at all? Oh, so when I slapped you, you fell down? Director, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that scene either. I exerted so much force that the situation was out of my control.”

Sam showed a clear expression and relaxed the corner of his mouth, "No, you handled it very well. There was no cheating during the shooting."

"In fact, I like these unexpected situations on the set, getting rid of the constraints of the script and even the director, and letting the actors inject energy into the characters and plot according to their own understanding. Only in this way can the movies produced be full of vitality."

"Those unexpected situations themselves are the actors' understanding of the plot."

The conversation started, and Sam became chatty.

"For example, in the scene where Peter accidentally bumped into the chair leg but pretended that nothing happened, the performance and mood were combined, and the on-screen and off-screen scenes were intertwined. Although it was an accident, it exactly reflected Peter's mood."

"Suddenly learning that Mary Jane fell in love with another person was ridiculous, shocking, stunned and lost. In an instant, there were thousands of thoughts in my mind."

"He used all his strength to control himself and avoid leaking any panic, lest he expose his true feelings and be seen through by Mary Jane."

“So, being in that state is the icing on the cake and becomes a plus point.”

After listening, Anson was a little confused, but it didn't matter, so he asked, "Director, do you mean that when we shoot next, do you want me to continue hitting the chair legs?"

Sam himself was stunned and subconsciously denied, "No, the effect of the accident is like a flash of inspiration. It is the character flowing naturally from the inside out. At that moment, you really enter the role of Peter Parker. , but if you realize this and deliberately stage the bumping of the chair legs, the performance will fail to capture that subtle sense of immersion."

This is the so-called method acting.

Completely enter the role, the actor and the role are integrated into each other, and the lines, actions, and character edges are all blended into the blood. The performance is no longer just a performance, but a spontaneous action presented from the inside out. , the actor becomes the character itself.

Maybe the movements, expressions, and states presented in each performance are different, but the essence is the same, and every move is reasonable and smooth.

Even the words and deeds that are separated from the script and the set are still the eyes of the character.

In other words, the character has taken on a life of its own out of the script, no longer limited to those lines, and has become a real existence.

For such an actor, the same scene may have dozens of different performance presentation methods. Each time is different, but it can shine every time, truly dragging the character into reality; but it often means that the play is too deep, true and false. It’s so hard to separate, you can’t leave the character even after filming is over.

However, these theoretical knowledge are still too unfamiliar to Anson now. He is just trying to get started, and has some vague understanding and feelings——

But that's all.

In fact, in the scene just now, Anson completed a difficult performance, turning into Peter Parker from the inside out. It was no longer just a performance, he was Peter Parker, standing there no matter what he said or did. Reasonable, and they are all Peter Parker's real reactions and actions. However, Anson himself was a little confused and not sure how everything happened.

Same goes for Sam.

The words were said, but they were not thought through or organized, so that Sam was not sure what his central thought was:
Does he want this to happen, or does he not?
After a pause and putting it behind him for a moment, Sam looked at Kristen again, "With tears in his eyes, it's the same situation."

Kristen was a little shy and reserved, and there were still tears in her eyes that had not been completely wiped away. "I didn't expect it myself."

Sam nodded in agreement, "We are sure that Mary Jane felt Peter's sincerity at this moment and was moved, but we are not sure to what extent Mary Jane was moved and how to express it, but obviously, your performance just gave The answer is, this is the show we want.”

Kristen nodded gently, "Everything is very natural, it just happened."

As he spoke, there were still tears falling down his cheeks.

Kristen wiped her cheeks quickly and couldn't help laughing, "God, I didn't expect this scene either."

Taking the tissue from Anson, Kristen tidied herself up a little, "So, director, you want me to continue to be like this for the next filming, right?"

Sam, "Yes."

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sam glanced at Anson, and then overturned his point of view, "No, that's not right."

"We need to keep everything natural and genuine."

"In the scene just now, Mary Jane's mental journey is complicated and tortuous enough. If one detail is not handled properly, her image will become embarrassing."

"If Mary Jane bursts into tears when she hears Peter's confession, even if the audience sees the slightest trace of performance, it will appear artificial."

"No, the performance just now was already in good condition, there is no need to try again."

In the second half, Sam is almost talking to himself, seeming to be in his own world.

Anson and Kristen exchanged glances, and Anson finally spoke, "So, director, we should follow the script. There is no need to add those surprises?"

No need to kick the chair legs or burst into tears?

Sam was still immersed in his own thoughts and waved his hand casually, "Yes, that's good."

After saying that, Sam was stunned and suddenly had an idea.

Suddenly, Sam raised his head and looked over, "Wait, what is the purpose of my coming here?"

Anson blinked and hesitated slightly, "Tell us, although it is not perfect, this scene is good, but in the next shooting, those accidents will not be necessary?"

Sam was stunned, "No, no, no, no, it's not like that, it's not like that."

He kept denying it, but his expression gradually became clearer, and the corners of his mouth also rose, showing his good mood.

Then Sam smiled.

"I came here to say that you don't need to worry about those unexpected situations, everything is fine. This scene is over."

Wha...what?
