Emmam looked at Lance intently, and a thrilling look burst out from his eyes, and the excitement of eagerness penetrated from every detail of his body.

Lance was quite surprised, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "I thought your first reaction after hearing this script was to be scared or frightened. You know, you are underage." The story of Little Red Riding Hood's counterattack on the Big Bad Wolf is so bloody and violent, which is definitely "not suitable for children" for underage.

Emma couldn't help but think about it, and then the horror in her eyes slowly magnified little by little. She raised her hands, covered her mouth that was constantly wide open, and her face was full of surprise. She was slowing down half a beat, but the correct emotion finally came, which made Lance laugh and shook her head, "I don't think you are suitable for the role of Hayley."

Haley has a rock atmosphere in her bones. Emma's temperament is sweet. This is not a problem. If used well, it can create more contrast effects. However, Emma lacks that ruthlessness. She is not like a executioner like an executioner, but she is more like a guardian of the novel "No > Wrong" of "Nurse".

Emma did not answer immediately, but was still shocked. She widened her eyes, shook her left and right in fear, then leaned over and whispered, "You mean, Hayley is going to Jeff..." Emma's eyes involuntarily glanced towards Lance's lower body. Lance was very calm, but she didn't expect Emma to blush, her cheeks turned red, and she quickly avoided her sight, "Wow." Emma seemed to have truly understood the meaning of the word "castration" at this time, and the impact was really too fierce - she still retained her first kiss.

Emma's mind was in a mess, and she had to force herself to divert her attention, otherwise her imagination would be very clear. "Yes, I know, I mean... I know there is a big difference between Hayley and I." Emma finally sorted out her thoughts clearly, "In fact, Hayley and I should be two completely different people, I guess." Emma's expression seemed a little shy, but she still didn't have much confidence, but her vision was extremely firm and she never retreated. "But because of this, I want to play this role more. This can definitely be said to be an excellent opportunity to challenge myself, right?"

Emma in front of her reminded Lance of herself who had just traveled/traveled in her previous life.

Not only laymen or beginners, but many actors who have been immersed in performing for many years will also be like this. They always have a misunderstanding about performance. They can't wait to break through self-restraints, break through image shackles, and challenge completely different roles, hoping that people can admire them. They believe wholeheartedly: Only by playing roles that are very different from their image or opposite, can they polish their acting skills and prove their abilities and talents.

But truly excellent actors should understand that external images are part of the performance. Excellent actors need to learn to use their appearance and integrate into the performance. Or follow the image, carry forward it forward, and inject a more vivid soul into the role. For example, Tom Hanks' performance in "Forrest Gump" is honest, honest, sincere and kind, and put Forrest Gump's image from the big screen into each audience; or use the image to create contrast and make the image a deceptive link. For example, Kevin Spacey's performance in "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Extreme Suspects" is ordinary and inconspicuous, but it creates a huge contrast between villains, which then forms a shocking reversal.

Simply put, appearance should be one of the performance weapons.

Taking "Fruit Hard Candy" as an example, Emma's role as Hayley is a good choice. Because Emma's sweet and bright image is easy to create confusion, she stretches out her fangs in the second half of the story, just like a man-eating flower, pushing the audience's psychological impact to the extreme. However, this requires the actor's strong control and precise expression. A wolf in sheep's clothing is not competent for.

Even top actors like Tom Hanks and Jack Nicholson must be subject to their appearance. Let Tom play the role of the clown in "Batman", the effect is definitely not as good as Jack. It has nothing to do with acting skills, but has to do with the innate limitations of appearance. Of course, it also has to do with the performance method. How to effectively use your appearance and highlight the performance effect is a compulsory course for a top and excellent actor.

For most actors, they often do not have such ability, or have not had that deep understanding of the role. They just deliberately create contrast for the sake of "contrast" and choose some characters with huge contrasts as much as possible. As a result, they will ruin the role, ruin the performance, and destroy themselves. The most classic and bad casting case in film history is "Batman and Robin" starring George Clooney.

Lance made a similar mistake when he was studying at the Royal Academy of Drama Arts, and the same was true when Li Jin first came over. Even without even learning how to walk, he began to think about figure skating.

"City of Sin" is Emma's first movie. Her performance is excellent, and her understanding of the role is even more thorough than that of Jessica, which adds a lot of color to the movie. But after all, she is still too immature. She challenges "Fruit Hard Candy" to rely on the performance of the heroine to affect the plot - and it is an extraordinary performance that breaks the shackles of the image. Obviously, Emma still lacks ability.

"This may be an opportunity to challenge yourself, but it may also be an opportunity to destroy confidence, performance, and the entire movie." Lance said without going around in circles and said mercilessly what he thought.

Emma was not hit and still looked at Lance with anticipation, "But, don't you even give me the chance to perform. Don't you think it's too arbitrary?"

"What's more, you are underage and cannot participate in the performance." Although the legal provisions of different states are different and Lance needs to ask further, it is certain that underage children appearing in films such as love/childhood/fetishness, etc., requires layers of review and approval, and the crew also needs to be stationed with corresponding official personnel for supervision.

In the script, Haley is only fourteen years old and is a minor girl. However, in actual shooting, Lance does not intend to use minor girls, but uses girls over sixteen to avoid the troubles of legal procedures.

"No!" Emma said depressedly, his big eyes were filled with anger, staring at Lance, "I am already sixteen years old, I am not a minor!" This time it was Lance's turn to show a surprised expression, but then he realized that Emma had only emphasized once not long ago, but he didn't remember at all. In his impression, Emma was a child. "Sixteen years old!" Emma emphasized again.

Lance could clearly sense Emma's anger, he nodded slightly and apologized, "Sorry." Then he said with a smile, "If that's the case, then...of course, the auditions are open to everyone, and you can also come and attend the audition."

The so-called youth is to bury your head and run wildly regardless of the consequences, hitting your head and bleeding, hitting your body and burning, exhausted, and then learn to grow through failures again and again. Of course, it is also possible to create your own world through attempts again and again. When you grow up, you learn to reason, measure, and choose, and youth disappears.

Therefore, Emma deserves a chance to challenge herself. Lance should not use the fixed concept of Emma's performance in his previous life to make decisions.

After obtaining permission, Emma just clenched her fists gently, but did not celebrate, and looked down at the script in Lance, "So, can I read the script now?" Although she has only worked with Lance once, Emma knew that Lance is a director from a stage play. He pays great attention to the actors' self-understanding of the characters, as well as the actors' thoughts on the script and the story. These invisible parts often become factors that distinguish good from excellent, excellent from classic in the finished film.

Lance shrugged and handed over the script on his knees, "However, others are not allowed to see it. If anyone wants to participate in the audition, let their agent contact him in person."

"I know your habits, don't worry!" Emma blinked playfully, then held the script and started reading directly. But Lance interrupted her movements. Emma raised her head in confusion, "You should go to bed." Lance explained, Emma wailed speechlessly, "I'm not a child anymore. Can't I enjoy some of my own time during vacation?"

"It has nothing to do with age, it's just about women. You won't want to sleep too late and destroy your skin." Lance said seriously. Emma was really amused and crying, "I don't need it!" She was only sixteen years old and didn't need to worry about her skin at all, but Lance ignored it at all, just looked at her firmly, with a firmness in her eyes that was not allowed to refute.

Emma could only stand up with the script, and muttered in a low voice, "So, it's beer again, and I'm going to sleep late, someone's skin seems to be terrible." After that, Emma didn't wait for Lance to react, and ran away quickly, leaving Lance sitting alone, and finally laughed in silence.

After Emma returned to the villa next door, Lance realized that Dakota was still sleeping in the lobby. However, after looking back, Dakota still showed no sign of waking up, so he retracted his attention and his thoughts returned to the script "Fruit Hard Candy".

After reading the first draft just now, it is not much different from the finished film in my impression. As a thriller movie, Brian's script has been done very well, laying the foundation layer by layer in a limited space and slowly advancing, and there is not much room for modification to the plot control. Of course, this script is still a bit rough, and many scene details and line dialogues need to be further polished, but compared to these contents, Lance feels that character creation is still a core issue, which is also the core reason why the finished product quality of "fruit hard candy" in the previous life was not able to be further improved.
