343. Chapter 343 Enter too deep

"I have to drink something first..." In the dimly lit room, which was decorated in bright red and a bright light shone from the wall, and the overall color was a bit bluish, the man with his upper body **** murmured.

Said to himself.

There was a neat row of milk bottles in front of him. No matter the size of the packaging or the milk contained in them, they were all the same.

The man stared at the milk bottles with red eyes and continued to mutter: "Wait a minute, if the milk goes bad... the milk has gone bad, I shouldn't pick up the milk with my right hand..."

Looks of confusion, irritability, and fear appeared alternately on his face, and his body was trembling slightly. There seemed to be a fierce battle deep inside his heart. He wanted to cheer up but couldn't. In addition, the clear and glowing blood on his upper body

The red scar made this anxious and intense feeling of uneasiness spread wantonly, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but want to save their arm and rub it.

"Cut!" Scorsese shouted from the director's chair, "Take a five-minute break and try again."

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief. The depressing layout of the studio, coupled with the actors' negative-emotional yet surprisingly infectious performances, made them all a little restless. Scorsese also asked them to rest.

There was some consideration. However, when people started to move and the buzzing sound started, Sean, as the male protagonist, still stood there motionless, and his shoulders were obviously rising and falling.

"Sean? Are you okay, Sean?" An assistant noticed this first and asked aloud, causing many people to look over there.

Sean, who was standing there with his upper body licked, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. He didn't know whether he was saying it was okay or telling them to leave him alone.

Several people looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Even the assistant who was supposed to send towels was the same. This situation quickly alarmed Scorsese, who shouted to stop and stopped with the camera.

The teacher started talking and didn't notice Sean's appearance at all. It wasn't until the assistant spoke up that he discovered the problem.

"What happened?" Scorsese raised his eyebrows when he saw Sean standing there. As an experienced director, he roughly guessed what happened.

"Go over and call him, but be careful." He said to the assistant holding the towel.

After receiving the clear instructions, the assistant walked over. They have been running around in various studios all year round. Although their experience is not as rich as Scorsese's, after a while, they also understood what might have happened. After the assistant approached

, carefully reached out and grabbed Sean's shoulders and shook him gently. The latter then waved his hand and muttered: "I'm fine."

The assistant and everyone who heard him couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then put a towel on his shoulders: "Rest now, Sean, let's come back later."

Sean waved his hands and raised his head a little, with an annoyed look on his face: "It's okay, I'm right here, let me be quiet for a while."

"Well..." the assistant looked around awkwardly, "We'd better go over there, the show manager is coming over to rearrange the arrangement."

"I said! Let me be quiet here for a while!" Sean suddenly roared out angrily, staring at the other party with his red eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.

The startled assistant took two steps back involuntarily, not knowing what to do for a moment, and everyone around him also looked over with astonished eyes.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, Sean suddenly shook his head vigorously, covered his face and rubbed it hard, then apologized: "Sorry, I'm just... sorry..."

"Are you okay, Sean?" Scorsese came over at this time.

"I'm fine, Martin, I'm fine," he repeated, "I was just a little stressed...so I lost my composure just now..."

"Really?" Scorsese looked at Sean seriously, "I think you should take a break. Today's shooting is almost done. I still want to make adjustments to the remaining parts. You can go back first.

——Don’t you still have things to deal with?”

"No, no, no, Martin," Sean shook his head like a rattle, "I think the situation is just right now. We have been filming for several days. Martin, although there have been many problems, we have also gained a lot. Why?

Why don't I finish this scene in one go? You know, if I don't hurry up now, it will be difficult for me to grasp the essence of this character!"

However, despite saying this, the fatigue between his brows was extremely obvious, and his expression was extremely stubborn.

Scorsese looked at him with a complex expression, then reached out and patted his shoulder: "I know you work hard, Sean, and you did give me a lot of surprises. Just because you performed so well, so

That's why I want to shoot this scene in advance. However, you must also understand that only by preserving yourself can you shape the character more perfectly. Your current situation is very bad. I say this unabashedly, so I order

Go back and rest!”

I have to say that as an experienced and well-known director, Scorsese is very good at persuasion. He can see what kind of state Sean is in and what causes him to be like this, so he uses "

"Only rest can create a more perfect character" should be used as the reason for persuasion, rather than "it's just a character, not worth your time".

To be honest, he actually had some regrets in his heart. Sean did give him quite a few surprises. I won’t go into the details about Playboy. The details about an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient shown in the scene with Jude were very exciting.

Even when he saw it, he felt that Hughes should be like that when he was ill. If Scorsese and DiCaprio had some feelings at the beginning, but after seeing Sean's richness, he

After knowing that enough was enough, he realized that his previous decision was very correct.

It was under this circumstance that he made the decision to advance the most painful inner drama of Hughes.

The general content is that after the end of World War II, Pan Am wanted to completely monopolize international air routes, so it used the transport aircraft that Hughes Aircraft failed to deliver to the military to make a big fuss, hoping to defeat Hughes in one fell swoop.

By this time, Hughes's mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder had become more and more serious, especially after he had a problem with the plane and survived the fall, so he didn't like to appear in public.

However, a member of the Senate who had connections with Tripp initiated an investigative committee and asked Hughes to receive consultation in person. This was unacceptable to Hughes.

Therefore, the huge pressure and insecurity made him lock himself in the company's cabin, see no one, take off his clothes, and endure the fear and suffering from his heart.

Such a one-man show does not have too many lines. The key to the performance lies in the actor's expression and body language. Generally speaking, although it is a bit troublesome, as long as an experienced actor is competent, but if you want to perform well, you want to perform it.

The essence of it is necessary and that would be very difficult.

In Scorsese's view, although DiCaprio is pretty good, he has a problem that is difficult to correct, that is, he always likes to use furrowed brows to show character anxiety. It doesn't matter if you use this method once or twice.

But this is always the case, not only will it be criticized, but it will also affect the interpretation of the character.

But the emergence of Sean greatly surprised Scorsese. Because of his performance in details, he left many first-class actors behind, and many details have a finishing touch.

What Scorsese didn't know was that Sean liked to delve into details from the beginning and always liked to set up many unnecessary details for his characters. Minghella had also warned him at the beginning that being too obsessed with details would only make the character's image change.

It must be broken and there must be targeted design details.

It was also because of Minghella's teachings that Sean slowly changed his acting style, and as he continued to play different roles, he understood how to design details to get just the right performance.

In addition to this, Sean also worked very hard. Not to mention that he spent his own money to shoot the short film. He read the Hughes information from Scorsese many times and could recite many passages.

He also imitated his voice based on the recordings left by Hughes, and in the end his original accent was almost indistinguishable.

This dedicated mentality alone is enough to be praised, not to mention the natural integration from playboy to obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, and now the explosion when filming this one-man show.

De Niro was like this when he starred in "Raging Bull", so Scorsese became interested in talent, even though he wanted to take advantage of Sean's critical point of anxiety to kill this scene.

He wanted to complete it completely so that he might never find such a state again, but considering the pressure he was under, he finally gave up.

In the past ten years, although Scorsese has met many young people who are willing to work hard or have good talents, there are very few who are talented and willing to give everything to their roles.

So he decisively stopped filming - it was almost the end of the day anyway - and tried his best to persuade him to rest. If Sean exhausted his energy and talent because of this role, it would be too much of a loss. Such an actor will definitely stand up

He is generous and glorious on the Oscar stage, but Oscar may not necessarily like his movies, even if he once gave De Niro the best actor throne.

After he has rested, he may adjust his condition and better interpret the feeling now. Scorsese thought comfortingly.

If Sean could understand the other party's painstaking efforts, he might be very grateful, but at this moment he is still struggling in the role and still in an anxious mood, so he doesn't know anything. But instinctively, he still knows

Cosese's words were correct, so he hesitantly walked towards his seat. When he finally sat down with the support of his assistant, his expression became calmer.

It was impossible to go back to the set to continue, so I was more or less out.
