222. Chapter 222 Extra fusion

"Don't make mistakes again, do you understand?"

"No one is allowed to make mistakes again, especially if you are the one who should be on the court, you cannot make mistakes.

"I and others are not allowed to make mistakes, so are you, not to mess up."

"The UK even held a party the night before the execution, called the 'monster dance'. They don't have lawyers or pastors next to them, so you and me are the only ones. I said, don't think about what he did, this is work, we have to do our duty."

"Good!" When Thornton finished speaking the lines, director Mark Foster took the lead in applauding. There was no doubt that this shot had passed and the effect was quite good.

Sean, who was sitting in front of the bar, suddenly relaxed and quickly put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and then exaggeratedly. Almost everyone could hear the hissing sound.

"It's just a cigarette, you're too exaggerating, right?" Songdun laughed and scolded.

"Of course not, father, I just don't like smoking." Sean said with his eyes rolling, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

So far, he has completed two major scenes in total, and his performance was very successful and smooth, so successful that he was so surprised that even he himself was surprised. Foster, who had a bald head like Soderbergh, praised him very much, and he passed several difficult scenes at once.

For example, in this scene in a bar, a black death row prisoner was executed the next day. His son was drinking in the bar, and his stern, cold and harsh father came to him and scolded him, as if he would definitely have problems tomorrow. His son had almost no lines, and he relied entirely on expressions and body language to express his emotions, the dullness, helplessness, and the hatred and self-destructive emotions hidden in it.

In fact, in the whole movie, the son has no lines. The only few dialogues are either said to prostitutes or to death row prisoners. The only words of verbal communication with his father are only the last sentences of suicide. From this aspect, we can also see how tense the relationship between father and son in the play is.

But Sean performed very well, very well. As long as he brewed a little, that emotion was reflected.

Before, when Songdun was saying in a stern tone, "I and others are not allowed to make mistakes, so are you, don't mess up." Although Sean looked indifferent, when his eyes tilted towards Songdun, the dissatisfaction and hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.

The more NG scenes in this scene are the scenes where you smoked before. Sean doesn't smoke at all. Although he was smoked, he was not choked while smoking, but it was still difficult to tolerate the smell of smoke. So much so that under the scolding of his father, the scene of putting the cigarette to his mouth and taking a mouthful of it took him half a day to finish it.

"I personally think that you'd better have specific shots of smoking so that this child can reflect the depression." Foster said this when someone suggested that if Sean didn't smoke, he would simply not have shots of putting them in his mouth.

There was no way, Sean had to put the filter to his mouth again and again and suck it deeply into his mouth again and again. So after the shooting, he was covered in smoke. Fortunately, the air in the countryside town was very fresh, and the smoke dissipated faster in the wild with more trees. Otherwise, it would be awful to live like this day.

Of course, a budget of only 4 million yuan like "Dance of Death" was only available, and Sean only received a low-cost independent film price of 80,000 yuan. He was not allowed to shoot in a small town in the south. Do you have to shoot in the studio in the studio?

This is just like "My Grand Greek Wedding" was filmed in Canada. All states in the United States also have tax cuts for filming. After all, it can drive the local economy. If the movie is popular, it may also open up tourist attractions. Besides, the background of this movie is also set in a small town in the south.

"To be honest, your performance here is stronger than in Alas because the character's sense of substitution is very strong." Sanders asked curiously.

"Maybe..." Sean shrugged without comment.

As I said before, he was also surprised by his success and success, because... this is the first time that he has truly felt the state of unity of human and drama. After chanting "Action" on the spot or ringing the record board, he is the Sony in the movie, the young man who lives in the shadow of his father, has no confidence and no self, and wants to destroy himself. Everything is so natural and very wonderful.

Sean was always very fast in the play. Because of his previous life, he knew very well what it would be like to be another person, but it was the first time he could become another person who was wholeheartedly and fully experience the other person's joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness. He was able to reach this level and enter the state of the unity of man-play that Harrington said at the beginning, the most likely thing to be crazy is to say that his experience of being a human being in two lives did not fuel the fire, that would definitely be impossible.

No wonder the older generation of actors like to experience life. Only by having the same experience can we better understand the feelings of the characters.

However, this method is still a bit useless to Sean. Being able to quickly get into the role based on his previous life experience is already a great help to his acting skills. What remains is the experience and conveying of feelings. After all, movies are an art of expression, and there is still a difference between them and real feelings. This gap cannot be made up for by being a taxi for a few months or a boxing match for half a year. Moreover, there are differences between people. If you become a taxi driver and play boxing matches, the feeling is your own, not the character.

This time, Sean was also because he was a human being for two lives but had a tense relationship with his father. In addition, he really wanted to vent his feelings, and wanted to tell everyone, and some acting skills had become subconscious behaviors, so he performed so well.

Of course, his feelings are somewhat different from the characters. For example, when Sony committed suicide in front of his father, he forced him to ask, "Do you hate me?" When his father replied, "Yes, I hate you", he said, "You hate me, but I love you, and then shot himself in the chest."

This seems pretty good, but in Sean's eyes, it is too pleasing the value of mainstream society, or too concerned about conveying bad values ​​like the audience. If you are really forced to that point, like a walking zombie, unable to express your thoughts, and unable to break free from this kind of constraints. It seems that you are about to suffocate every day, then at that time you will probably say something more intense, which will make your father regret it for life.

Fortunately, many of the fathers of the two generations have similar personalities and have clearly conveyed something so that he will not end up like Sony in the script.

"It's really wonderful, Sean, it's the right decision to find you. When I was playing against you, I almost thought you were Sony." After the scene in the execution room passed, Songdun praised him very much.

"That's right, even if it's just a scene of fierce conflict between father and son, this will be a wonderful movie." Foster said so.

The execution room scene is one of the five important points that show Sony's character. It is precisely because of this fierce conflict that the fuse of his subsequent suicide tragedy. The reason is that Sony vomited because he couldn't bear the pressure when he sent a death row prisoner to the road for the first time. Hank was naturally furious when he saw this scene, especially after repeated instructions, his son still failed to meet his expectations, and he was simply a waste.

So after the death penalty, he beat and scolded him, not only knocking Sony out of blood, but also scolded the black subordinate who came to persuade him to fight was a black man.

In this filming, Songdun's performance was full of tension, and he interpreted the complex mood of an equally suppressed middle-aged man with this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, Sean's performance was better, and he was also a restrained performance. His performance was much better than when he was playing against Pacino in an Alaska restaurant. The mania on the verge of bursting when he pushed away his father, the hatred after he endured his hard work and was pressed on the wall, and the confusion and despair of slowly sitting against the wall when his father left.

In addition, like his previous filming, he basically has no lines and relies entirely on expressions and body language, which makes the scene look particularly intense. It is no wonder that the director would say that even if it only relies on this scene, the movie will be very exciting.

"It's really great. Even if I look at the reality effect outside the set, I will feel that kind of sadness and anger. Are all young people so outstanding now?" said the heroine on the other side.

She has short black hair and dark skin, but she is different from the ordinary black people. Her facial features are clearly outlined and she has a very obvious mixed-race feeling. This is the famous Black Pearl Halle Berry, which is also the reason why Angelina Jolie came to visit the set - although she has gone back now.

Frankly speaking, Halle Rebe is a very beautiful woman, probably because she has Caucasian blood and the characteristics of black people are not particularly obvious, so she looks more interesting. Sean has never dated a black girl, it is not that he is racist. He really can't appreciate the beauty of black women. He always thinks they...what to say, from the side, the lower half of his face is a bit too... prominent.

In short, after seeing Halle Berry, he had a black woman worthy of appreciation. Before that, whether Whitney Houston or Maria Carey, he just looked at it and forgot.

This is definitely not because of the sequelae of his sleep with Hillary Swank. After agreeing to Thornton's invitation, he learned about several major actors. He said they were several, but in fact they only knew about Halle Berry. Thornton had worked together before and had a certain degree of understanding of his personality and temper. Apart from him and Harley, there were no other major roles.

So, after reading some of Harley's files and some comments about him, after returning from Alaska, Sean went to the theater to watch "Operation Swordfish" which was just released in June. I have to say that Harley's figure inside is really nothing to say, and it is indeed sexy and seductive. It is said that the producer paid $1 million in an extra $1 million in order to let her take off her clothes and show her two points.
