340. Chapter 340 Complete integration
"Frankly speaking, if I had known that Martin would choose you, I would definitely find a way to participate in the competition." Jude, sitting at the small round table, wearing an evening dress, with two beards on his lips, said to Sean with a smile.
"Oh? I have such a great charm that it can attract you and make you overestimate yourself to compete for this role?" Sean asked half-jokingly.
"Wait, what does it mean to overestimate one's ability? You guy!" Jude interrupted immediately dissatisfied.
"Isn't it? You are a British man, but you come to play the role of an American idol." Sean said in a tone of course.
"Hey, you're already discriminatory!" Jude shouted, and acted to fight, while Sean hurried and hid.
From this we can see that they can basically be considered good friends. Although they are not as close as a few best friends, they are beyond the ordinary level. Only friends with good relationships can joke so unscrupulously.
"This is a Martin Scorsese movie. I have wanted to work with him for a long time, so although I am a small character, I still agreed readily." After a while, Jude immediately talked about himself.
"So, are you just jealous?" Sean said seriously.
"Jealous? Of course, I'm so jealous. I bet that any suitable actor who has seen Howard Hughes's life would want to try it!" Jude said seriously.
Since that's the case, Sean couldn't continue to tease and began to say nice things: "This is not a small character. Jude, Errol Flynn is the most famous actor in the golden age of Hollywood - of course, his reputation is also the worst."
"I know, so wait and see, be careful I'll snatch your beloved Kate." Jude laughed and gave him a vicious expression.
Although he knew he was talking about the plot, Sean still subconsciously changed color slightly. As a lustful person, Flynn naturally missed Hepburn, but unfortunately the latter did not give him a good look. Scorsese asked Jude to play Flynn to express this story, so Sean will play with Jude and Kate next. After all, everyone has worked together in "The Genius Ripley". Although Jude and Kate have no direct rivalry, who knows if they will be seen?
It’s not that Sean is a soldier, it’s related to Kate’s reputation, and he must ensure that he won’t be affected. Of course, the best way is to not compete for this role at the beginning, but how could he be able to hold back, so he could only be as careful as possible.
"Gentlemen, what are you talking about?" Kate, who was already dressed up, walked over and over again, wearing a beige evening dress and big curly hair. He looked like a female star decades ago, but he had too much lipstick.
"You look so charming, Kate." Jude said in an exaggerated tone, then grabbed Kate's hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it.
Seeing that, Sean couldn't help but cover his forehead and shook his head gently.
"Put your stuff away, it's not time for you to perform yet, Jude," Kate said quietly, "or you want to be as famous as Flynn."
"How could it be? But if you have a bad reputation, it's probably not my turn." Jude smiled and glanced at Sean.
"What do you think, Sean?" Kate then turned to him, smiling, and it seemed that there was no difference between meeting old friends. Only Sean could notice that occasionally a hint of ups and downs flashed between her eyebrows.
"It won't be too fast, Jude, because you will definitely be like this in the future." Sean's mood suddenly improved. Since Kate was generous, what were he worried about?
Sometimes, the more you conceal it, the easier it is to see through it. It is better to be generous. Besides, as an actor who has been praised for his acting skills, he has encountered a good role. Just integrating into it and showing it will take a lot of time and energy. Isn’t it obvious to tell others that there is something wrong? Anyway, as long as you integrate into the role or give people a feeling of integration, you accidentally pass the line, and you can also blame it for being too involved.
Sean really felt that he and Hughesman fit, at least in terms of their relationship. Even if he had someone he liked, he still couldn't help but hunt for beauty everywhere.
Katherine Hepburn in the script said that men cannot be friends with women, either not touching them, or owning them, hunting, killing, and eating them, and that's what males are like. Although it sounds quite harsh, in a sense, this is the truth. So in the playboy's part, Sean's free performance was praised by Scorsese, and then using this as a fit point, he incorporated himself into Hughes step by step. So now, obsessive-compulsive disorder is also very well expressed in these scenes.
As I said before, Flynn is a bad guy. Although he was very popular, not many people like him. He hooked up with women, acted recklessly, and did not care about other people's feelings at all. In the passage to be filmed, he didn't care about Hughes but was just a first meeting, so he started to hook up and even ate his beans.
But Hughes has serious obsession with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder. If there are beans on the plate, he must arrange them according to their size, and then eat them one by one from the smallest.
If the order is wrong or someone interferes, he will be very unhappy, so Flynn's behavior violated his taboo. But this is in public, and the other party is also a Hollywood celebrity. It is difficult to have an attack and is very entangled for a while. The difficulty of this drama lies in how to express this entanglement just right.
Whether too much or too little, it makes people feel that Hughes is making a big deal or pretending. Sean made such a mistake at the beginning, so he NG several times.
"I want you to feel disgusted from the bottom of your heart, like hating someone who has taken away your favorite things. But you can't express it clearly because you are a big man and you can't make yourself look stupid. So your heart is complicated, contradictory, and completely opposite." Scorsese said.
However, this is no different from saying nothing. What is the psychological activity of the character? As long as you have done a detailed analysis, you should understand it. However, it is difficult to show it and perfectly express it. People are different. How Hughes performed at the beginning, how Sean thought it should be performed, and Scorsese thought it should be performed, all of which are different.
So Sean said to Scorsese: "Please give me time."
Yes, if you want to circle the complete intersection from two sets, you can only spend enough time to guess and analyze.
Sean did not simply perform and keep running into Scorsese. He was also thinking and integrating, trying to find and get close to that feeling.
Then, he found it.
"Action" The camera began to turn with the voice of the drama assistant.
Flynn, played by Jude, then stood up carelessly, reached out and took a bean from the plate in front of Sean, and said indifferently: "Hey, Howard, if you plan to talk about Fenglanyue on the screen, you must give me a place."
Sean blinked, seemingly not reacting, and this action immediately frowned for the people who were paying attention outside the set. When the first filming was started, Sean used this method to express Hughes's surprise and brewed enough anger.
But Scorsese stopped immediately at the time because he was not strong enough to show the mentality of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. At this time, he still used this method, wouldn't he worry about being stopped again?
The accident came again, just like the playboy scene. Although Scorsese frowned, he did not stop. Sure enough, just the next second, Sean's hand holding the tableware released, and landed on the plate with a jingle.
Then, many people showed a sudden look. Everyone who could see knew what this meant. People's instinct reactions were always the fastest. It was like when you left the store and you drove up and a truck was racing head-on. Sometimes when you rolled on the ground for a few laps and avoided it, you still haven't figured out what was going on.
I have to say that this action is very well-informed, perfectly reflecting the smell of obsessive-compulsive disorder penetrates into the bone marrow. When combined with it, the eyes immediately turned into astonishment and disgust, which was quite convincing. But he never had an expression. Although he quickly picked up the tableware, he raised it and put it down, raised and put it down, but never put it on the plate.
The range of this movement is very small, very small. Generally speaking, people sitting next to the dining table cannot discover it unless they are carefully observed.
Then, his hand holding the knife and fork tightly grasped it, even trembling slightly, his throat swayed slightly, and he took a few obvious deep breaths, but there was no expression on his face.
"Good!" Scorsese finally called out, giving affirmation just like the previous time.
When the people on the set heard this voice, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and clapped their hands to celebrate, but Sean sat on the chair without moving, and his expression was a little dazed, as if he had not yet appeared among the characters.
"Shawn?" Kate was the first to shout in a concerned tone.
Then Jude also discovered his problem and reached out to grab his shoulder: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Sean finally raised his head and squeezed out a smile, "I'm just a little confused, I'll get better after a break."
"Are you really okay?" Scorsese also walked over.
"It's okay, Martin, it's okay." Sean raised his hands and stood up, then couldn't wait to ask, "How was the camera just now?"
"Very good, very good. I really didn't expect you to be able to grasp this point. Every move is very suitable." Scorsese did not hesitate to his compliments, and then asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
"Full integration, Martin, completely integration." Sean smiled and made a gesture, then sighed in his heart.
