Chapter 86 As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed(2/2)
"I..." Ronald was grabbed by his sleeve and couldn't break free, so he had to sit down. He thought, how do I know this? You, an actor, can't understand this?
"I just thought, are you too nervous? Let's have a drink?" Ronald thought about drinking some strong wine to calm down before talking.
"I've tried drinking, meditating, and doing push-ups, but I can't express the feeling of embarrassment, escape, and helplessness." Dustin Hoffman was a little disappointed. He likes to drink first when filming difficult scenes.
One cup, Ronald's trick didn't work.
"What I mean is, you relax first... don't think about it..." Ronald felt funny.
"What should I do? I have thought of many ways, but my life may be too smooth. I can no longer remember the embarrassment I felt when I couldn't find a job.
I tried various methods and asked Barry to talk about his embarrassing moments. I needed to feel this emotion. But it didn't work. We are all winners. The embarrassment we faced was nothing compared to Rain Man.
Those autistic patients have extraordinary emotional sensitivity, but they can't express it. I promised those autistic patients to act out their lives, but I failed..."
Dustin Hoffman rambled a lot, and then looked at Ronald. He remembered that it was said that Ronald was born in a low-level job. He was still young enough and had not been contaminated by Hollywood. Maybe he could tell his story.
What was that embarrassing and helpless moment like?
"Ronald, you are a genius. I want to ask you for help. Can you help me and tell me about the most embarrassing, helpless, and evasive moment in your life?"
Looking at Dustin Hoffman's slightly crazy eyes, there are rumors in the industry that when filming "The Kramers", Hoffman couldn't find the feeling, so he had to use the "Method" method. Really
He smashed a glass against the wall and the shards of glass bounced back and hit the heroine Meryl Streep in the face, almost disfiguring her.
This person really wouldn’t be able to act without such crazy support!
When Diane debuted, she collaborated with the British drama prince, Laurence Olivier. Olivier also collaborated with Dustin Hoffman on a film about a man who ran a long-distance marathon.
In order to express the feeling of exhaustion in the role, Fuman himself ran a long distance without resting or eating.
During the final filming, he almost went into shock and the effect was not good. Laurence Olivier asked him why he did this.
Hoffman said that he wanted to experience the emotions of the character at that time. Laurence Olivier burst out laughing and said to him: "Why don't you try acting?"
Every actor has his or her own acting style. With Dustin Hoffman's acting style, no wonder he doesn't play a murderer.
"Can you tell me? When were you the most embarrassed, the most eager to escape, and the most helpless in your life..."
Ronald retracted his memories of various comments about the actor's acting skills. Dustin Hoffman in front of him was still pleading.
"Ahem..."
Ronald cleared his throat and glanced at Barry Levinson beside him.
"The most embarrassing moment, the moment I want to escape the most, I think, is right now..."
"Pfft..." Barry Levinson immediately suppressed his laughter, and his face turned red from holding it in. Ronald, this guy, is very sharp with his words.
I've had enough of Hoffman's awkwardness, and it's good to have someone point out his problems in this way.
Dustin Hoffman stared at Ronald and said nothing for a long time.
He didn't seem to understand Ronald's sarcasm, and just looked at Ronald with wide eyes, as if he had said something extraordinary.
"I see!"
Hoffman suddenly shouted, "I understand! Let's go to the scene and take some shots later, Barry."
"Come on, I think I may have found the feeling...Ronald, you are such a genius!" Dustin Hoffman kissed Ronald hard on the face, and then urged the director to take a real shot.
"What do you understand?" Ronald touched the area on his face where he was kissed.
…
"Ronald, what did you say to Dustin?" In the evening, Ovitz sat at the screening with Ronald, Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and others
Hall, look at the samples that were produced in an emergency.
Dustin Hoffman watched himself on the screen telling the story of how Rain Man almost killed his brother Charlie, and he was extremely excited, "That's it, that's it, I think I've found the feeling..."
"I think we need to make the stars feel that they are on the right path." Ronald replied in a low voice. He couldn't tell the big difference between this scene and the previous ones.
"It was Ronald who woke me up, so I used the embarrassment, helplessness, and wanting to escape emotions that I couldn't capture in this scene over the past two weeks and used them in this scene, and it turned out to be very effective."
Dustin Hoffman was very happy and revealed the answer to the mystery himself.
"That's it?" When Tom Cruise saw that the filming crisis had been resolved and that Hoffman had stopped making trouble, he came over to have a chat with Ronald.
"That's it, so things like acting, especially acting in movies, are often a matter of feeling. You have to trust the director's judgment. If it's a good director." Ronald told Tom Cruise about the situation at the time.
One word.
"It seems that Ovitz still treats his own people differently." Tom Cruise vented to Paula about the unequal pay. Paula advised him to calm down. After this movie, Cruise
His influence is also gradually growing. In the future, stars with box office appeal will be paid no less than acting stars like Dustin Hoffman.
But Ovitz was more tolerant towards his own people like Dustin Hoffman, and even after more than two weeks of trouble, he didn't really lose confidence in him.
"Ronald, are you going to New York? I'm going too, where shall we meet then?" Michael Ovitz was very happy that the crew's crisis was over and came over to talk to Ronald.
"I'm going over. The movie I invested in is about to be released. Are you going to New York too? We may not be able to meet at the same time."
"Then arrange the time. After all, we are our own people..."
