The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 30 Smooth sailing
Burbank, Warner Bros. Stage 24.

Gloria-Preston was a little excited, and she had to use all her strength to control her emotions——

As a fan of "Friends" for six years, she applied and applied again and again, and finally got the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the filming set. Although she was not able to apply for the opportunity to watch the sixth season finale, she had nothing to ask for.

At this moment, being in this studio, in the space of "Central Welfare", everything is like a dream, too beautiful to be true.

Before setting off, Gloria studied the shared posts on the forum for a long time.

Some people say that after visiting the scene in person, they may be disillusioned because the studio is very simple, with a thin wooden wall isolating several different scenes. There is no sense of reality at all, but a sense of absurdity.

"Be careful and lower your expectations."

But after witnessing the experience herself, Gloria had different ideas.

she likes.

On the contrary, what she likes is this kind of simplicity, because it makes everything seen on the TV screen like magic. In such a simple and unpretentious space, the art of dreaming is completed through the camera.

Not only am I not disillusioned, but I like it even more.

Gloria loved every minute of being in the studio. Even though she was sitting there obediently, and the crew emphasized that she couldn't move around in the next moment, and she was back to the atmosphere of a school classroom, she still enjoyed it. Among them, it was like first grade going to school for the first time.

"One minute countdown."

The scene was reminded again, and Gloria held her breath involuntarily.

Plop. Plop.

The heartbeat was getting faster and stronger, hitting the chest hard and almost rushing out of the throat. The excitement and excitement made the blood boil.

Come, come, the magic is about to happen.

Then--

Anson did not enter the scene because there was no content for him in the first scene.

"Friends", like most sitcoms, has a small introduction at the beginning of each episode, which is like a prologue, short and concise to create laughter. After the end, the theme song is played, and then cuts to the main body of the episode.

The prologue often sets the tone for the story.

Therefore, even though there was no role for Anson, he was still watching the scene and did not go to the lounge to wait. He needed to feel the atmosphere of the scene so as not to be completely outside the frequency when he played.

It is true that Anson has no acting experience, but he is experienced as a crew member and he also knows some basic entry-level skills for acting.

The simplest and most intuitive point lies in the rhythm and tension between actors.

For example, volume, if other actors are talking at a normal volume, and suddenly one person raises his voice, this will destroy the balance of the live sound recording.

For example, if the other actors are under an average tension, and suddenly one person is particularly excited or dull, it will appear abrupt.

And so on and so forth.

Unless it's a monologue, acting is an art that requires you to go back and forth.

Those weirdnesses and imbalances can all be seen from lighting to sound to photography, and you don’t need to be a professional performer to see them.

The six leading actors in "Friends" have been performing together for six years. They are very familiar with each other and have a good understanding of each other. Everyone has their own performance style, but overall the frequency can fit on the same track.

This means that, as an outsider, Anson needs to adjust his frequency so as not to break the balance and rhythm of the entire picture.

Now, Anson is observing.

"Start shooting!"

A sound rang out in the studio, coming from the episode's director, Michael Lembeck, and the cameras started rolling.

The prologue opens with Rachel, Monica, and Chandler chatting in a coffee shop.

Rachel reads Chandler's horoscope, which indicates that in this episode, Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe will have interesting stories in a storyline.

Then comes Joey, who finally gets his own starring role, playing Mike in the new series "Mike and Cheese," which starts filming today.

The prologue, that's all, plays the role of setting things off.

But in just one prologue, which lasts about two minutes, the studio is already full of laughter, with an average of one laugh every ten seconds, and all of them are accurate.

The most incredible thing is that there is no NG in one pass, and it is completed in one go. After switching the camera position and shooting again, there were still no problems and it passed smoothly. The director has already announced that preparations for the next scene have begun.

Sure enough, these actors have been working hard in this daily routine and this pattern for six years, and they have figured out their own way. All the performances are at their fingertips, and the filming is particularly easy.

The whole space is filled with joy and coziness, and the shooting atmosphere is very good.

As you can imagine, if someone makes a mistake at this time, it will be particularly conspicuous and become the target of public criticism. After all, no one wants the filming to be constantly interrupted.

and so……

Quietly, eyes converged on David Klein and Marta Kaufman——

No one bothered to see Anson.

Coincidentally, gossips and exploratory eyes are swirling around the two core creators of the series. The tension caused by the pressure of the end of the season, the turmoil of guest guests, and the unexpected choice of actors and other factors are gradually rising, and curiosity is on the rise. Climb up.

The studio is a little hot and dry.

After a short break, the lighting engineer and makeup artist came in to make detailed adjustments, and then entered the main shooting of today’s episode.

There was order in the chaos, unhurried and unhurried, and the entire crew ran efficiently.

Then--

"Start shooting!"

Once again, the director's voice sounded, and the studio became quiet again.

It's still the "Central Welfare", it's still the same group of people, except for Joey who has already gone to the set.

Phoebe was sitting on the single sofa on the right side of the studio, looking through the notebook at hand.

Chandler had a look of disgust on his face, "Are you judging the content by the cover? Because that's wrong."

This joke comes from the saying: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Monica patted Chandler's thigh to stop him from teasing Phoebe.

Phoebe didn't mind, "Oh, no, I'm just choosing one to use, and I'm starting a new book again!"

Chandler:…

Not only him, but Rachel was also full of questions, "Is it because the last book was so popular?"

Phoebe didn't seem to hear the complaint in the words, "If you are really curious, I have written fourteen books; and, because I am the only reader, I can tell you that the reputation of these works is very good."

The whole place burst into laughter.

Gloria couldn't help but clapped her hands and laughed——

Sure enough, Phoebe is different and has her own unique spiritual world.

This time, Gloria finally didn't need to shut her mouth and could laugh as much as she wanted.

"Hey!"

Ross appeared, wearing a blue shirt and a slightly anxious expression.

"Do you have anything to do later?"

Phoebe said as she was organizing her notebook, "Rachel and I are going to get our hair cut."

Rachel:? ? ? "Do we want it?"

Phoebe looked matter-of-fact and lowered her voice, "I just want to see what he's going to do."

It is said to "lower the voice", which actually means that the volume is slightly lower than the normal volume. The whole audience can clearly hear it. Ross, who was standing next to him, was speechless and spread his hands in protest.

But obviously, there are more important things at this time.

Ross didn't have time to complain, "I just learned that Elizabeth's father wants to meet with me."

Chandler raised his head, "Wait a minute, you're not Elizabeth's father?"

　Newcomer, new book, wallowing for support!
