Chapter 1325 1325 Late Autumn Sunshine
"I performed very well this time just now. I think you can try something different during the performance. After you show it, let's see which one is suitable. What do you think?" Edward Burns stood next to the camera and said seriously.
Cameron Diaz's eyes remained on the monitor. Listening to Edward's words, she gently lit her chin and said, "Okay, no problem, I will study it myself in the next scene."
Edward snapped his fingers and said, "Do it! Then you go and rest first." Then, without waiting for Cameron to answer, he turned around and shouted loudly at the other staff of the crew, "Prepare for the next game, Jennifer is ready."
After watching the playback of the scene just now on the monitor, Cameron returned to the side to rest. However, in his mind was recalling the feeling of the scene just now. This method was learned from Hugo while "Death-infernal Affairs" crew.
Now, Cameron is filming "Love is the Only" in New York. The filming atmosphere of this romantic comedy movie is relaxed and the role is relatively simple, but it is still helpful for polishing her acting skills. Cameron is working hard to learn a skill that is still very unfamiliar to her.
Originally, Cameron thought it was embarrassing to stand in front of the monitor to examine his performance, but instead made him keep paying attention to the camera and paying attention to the small details of his expressions, which ended up messing up the performance, so Cameron refused to watch the monitor.
But Hugo was not like this in the crew of "Death-infernal Affairs". After each scene, Hugo would watch the monitor. If the director was not satisfied, Hugo would exchange ideas for the entire scene with the director. Later, when Cameron asked Hugo, Hugo said that this habit was learned from Al Pacino. In fact, he was not used to it at the beginning. Looking at himself on the monitor, he was like a stranger who was the most familiar stranger. He was so awkward that he looked back in front of the camera. He was completely embarrassed when he returned to the camera to perform, and even had the same hands and feet.
But later Hugo discovered that when watching the monitor, he didn't watch himself, but the character. In other words, the monitor did not watch the performance details, but was very consistent with the whole plot after he was put into the role. Studying performance is a very personal behavior, especially many single-man shows, but the movie is a whole. If the character exists in the plot, it is a disaster, let alone many rival scenes also require the cooperation of the actors. Therefore, Hugo watches the monitor to watch his own performance and his role fits with the entire story.
Now, Cameron is also working hard to learn this, but she is still not very adaptable and is always easily distracted when watching monitors.
Sitting aside and resting, Cameron was watching Jennifer Aniston and Edward Burns play opposite each other. Edward is not only the director of the movie, but also the male lead. From thinking about her performance to observing Jennifer's performance, she began to get distracted, so that she was completely dazed and didn't notice it.
Time passes without realizing it, and the filming work on the crew is not always rich and busy. For most actors, long-term waiting is the main theme.
To give the simplest example, the filming of a movie has a schedule, and the actors and directors are not capable of shooting, so it is difficult to shoot at the same time. Cameron only has three scenes today, but these three scenes are difficult to put together and shoot on the assembly line. Most of the time, one scene is filmed, then take a break, and then shoot the next scene.
The interval between each scene is rest time, and this interval is not fixed. It is possible that the filming of three scenes is less than two hours before and after, so Cameron's work is over today and he can leave the crew early; it is also possible that the three scenes are arranged in the morning, noon and evening respectively. Although the Hollywood Actors Union stipulates that the actors' working hours per day cannot exceed eight hours, if all three scenes are arranged separately, then Cameron will spend eight hours a day on the crew, which means that the waiting time is likely to exceed six hours.
This is also the reason why the crew has a very important connection. For example, if a big brand like Hugo, if necessary, the crew can arrange all Hugo's scenes together, and turn four or five hours apart to end Hugo's scenes, and then let Hugo be free; while some second- and third-tier actors have no choice but to passively complete the work according to the crew's arrangements, and spending a whole day in the crew just to shoot a scene, this is not uncommon.
At this time, the rivalry between Jennifer and Edward was relatively long and the filming was difficult. Cameron was waiting on the side, and more than half an hour passed without realizing it. Cameron suddenly felt bored. She had to stand up and stretch her body, then walked to the side and chatted with the crew for a while, ate some snacks, but it was still not her turn to work.
Bored, Cameron simply sat in a quiet corner and looked up at the sky above his head. The sky in New York is always covered with a layer of gray. The coolness of autumn makes the sky above the city divided by high-rise buildings reveal a blue color, but it is gray-blue and gray, always not transparent enough. The not-so-bright sunlight sparsely, as if after a long journey from the sky to the ground, it has consumed all its strength and is projected onto the ground weakly, but it cannot bring a trace of warmth.
This made Cameron miss the sunshine in Los Angeles. She thought of herself lying on the beach, bathing in the brilliant sunshine of the West Coast, playing golf, drinking a cup of coffee, and shopping in such a cool autumn weather. The comfort of life is incomparable to the busyness and noise of New York.
The warm sunshine almost made people drowsy. "Cameron..." Suddenly, shouting came from afar, awakening Cameron. She realized that she had almost fallen asleep. The coldness of New York swarmed in an instant, causing Cameron to shivered. She quickly stood up and shouted, "I'm here."
Cameron quickly walked towards the staff. She thought it was her turn to take a role, but she didn't expect that the staff stopped her from walking towards the shooting site. "Cameron, someone outside said he was here to visit your class. Your assistant happened to go out. You go over and take a look."
Cameron couldn't help but be stunned. Visit the set? Who would come to visit the set at this time? Could it be his former model colleague? After all, New York Fashion Week has just ended. Last time she was on the phone with those group of models, she even talked about meeting and gathering. "Okay, I'll go there now." Cameron said, walking towards the entrance of the crew.
Passing through a dark building shadow and passing by the sunshine that was cast, Cameron couldn't help but hug himself, rubbing up and down, trying to dispel the chill from his skin, but in his mind was thinking about what to eat for dinner later. Then suddenly he thought that if he was a model, they might be able to go for a big meal and have a glass of wine together after work. Thinking of this, Cameron's steps became lighter.
Not far away is the entrance to the crew of "Love is the only". Since the crew did not receive media attention, the entrance seemed very deserted. They just blocked a vehicle fence and arranged a security guard to sit at the door. Apart from that, there was no protection measure.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was hanging in the west, and the steel forest in New York cut the sunlight into countless pieces. The distance between the buildings made the strong wind blow more violently. Even the soles of the Hudson River were cold and the water vapor in the Hudson River was heard. The crew was filming at this time, and all the noise calmed down. There was only a quiet behind him. The roar of the car engine was faintly heard on the street not far away in the front, making the place more quiet, and the coldness seemed to swarm from all directions, which made Cameron speed up his pace.
When he saw a figure standing in front of the vehicle fence, Cameron wanted to raise his hand to greet him, his whole body was stiff. It was not her imagined model companions, but a man.
The man wore a smoke-gray long-sleeved sweater with dark blue washing jeans, a pair of dark brown flip-top lace-up boots on his feet, and a black plum-long coat on his hands. He stood there casually, only seeing one side, saying something happily to the security guard guarding the door, and the smile on his face bloomed proudly in the cold air.
A ray of sunlight penetrates the building and shines on the entire entrance. The cold light separates the shadows around it, and even clearly sees the dust flying in the sunlight, making people feel that a distance of only one step is two worlds.
The man seemed to notice Cameron's arrival, turned his head, and the smile on his face completely bloomed in an instant. The sunshine around him became brighter in an instant, and the thin and cold light seemed to become warm. At this moment, the cold of late autumn turned into leaves withered in the air, swirling and slowly falling in the air. The sunshine that had traveled thousands of miles to the ground released endless heat in a smile, making the breeze warm.
The man raised his hand and waved it, with a brilliant laugh, and waved at Cameron. The cool round-neck sweater reflected a faint light in the sunlight, looking so warm and so soft. At this moment, the sunshine in front of him seemed to be the whole world.
Cameron was stunned for a while but couldn't get enough of his senses. She couldn't believe her eyes. The things she had just imagined in her dream happened so much. It was not until the man shouted in a warm voice, "Cameron!" Then it seemed as if he had unveiled the spell, making Cameron run quickly. She just wanted to run faster and faster.
