The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1071 Performance Interaction
Performance is a form of interaction, unless it is a monologue.

The interactions between actors are often the source of chemical reactions.

Therefore, on the set you can often see that the camera is aimed at one actor, but the actor acting opposite him stands behind the camera, helping with lines, correcting line of sight, and helping to complete the performance. Even if the actor does not appear in the camera, he still needs to cooperate with his partner to complete the performance.

Sometimes, big-name actors refuse to help with the rehearsal; sometimes, the actors are filming other scenes or busy putting on makeup and are temporarily unable to help with the rehearsal, so the crew will send other actors or staff to complete the rehearsal.

Here, how to act is also very particular -

There are good opponents, bad opponents, and half-hearted opponents.

A small part of the reason why Kristen kept stumbling in this scene was because:

There is no suitable co-star.

Previously, Peter's position had been filled by a staff member who helped Kristen control the rhythm of the entire scene.

In theory, it shouldn't be difficult.

Because this is a theater, Peter Parker couldn't interrupt the performance by speaking out loud, he just lip-synced a greeting, and that was all.

However, it is not.

In this scene, Peter Parker also undergoes a psychological transformation.

Peter's daily routine is thrown into disarray as he tries to fulfill his superhero duties, and he watches his life fall apart bit by bit.

One day, Peter had had enough.

Peter made up his mind. He believed that he deserved happiness and was ready to give up Spider-Man's super powers and return to the life of an ordinary college student.

Of course, the most important thing is that he mustered up the courage to pursue Mary Jane.

Peter wanted to tell Mary Jane that it was a stupid decision for him to reject her. In fact, he had always had a crush on her and liked her and could not forget her.

He believes that he should bravely pursue happiness.

then.

Peter comes to the show without telling Mary Jane in advance.

It was a surprise.

But behind the surprise lies shyness and uneasiness, nervousness and tension.

On the one hand, he didn't know what Mary Jane would think of him, nor did he know how to get Mary Jane back to him.

On the one hand, he was full of hope and ready to start his new life. His university, his love, and his life had just begun.

A little bit of contradiction, a little bit of tug of war.

In this scene, Peter also experienced an important turning point.

So, when Mary Jane noticed Peter, not only was Mary Jane stunned, but Peter was also overwhelmed with emotion -

In the previous life, Tobey Maguire's handling here seemed dull and stupid, without layers or edges, just pure jubilation.

The good thing is that this makes Peter Parker still look innocent, like a middle school student.

The bad thing is that after all the trials and tribulations, Peter still hasn’t grown up, and his character arc is a mess.

Anson didn't want that.

Of course, today's camera lens is completely focused on Kristen, so Anson has no chance to perform for the time being. Anson is just helping with the acting.

But this doesn't mean Anson will just deal with it casually.

Acting together can be a rehearsal for you to delve into your role, or it can be a practice for your co-actor to find inspiration and sparks.

What's more, seeing this scene, the fourth wall between the play and outside the play has been completely broken, and Anson also finds it interesting.

A little bit of excitement, a little bit of trepidation; a little bit of happiness, a little bit of nervousness, which made Peter's smile completely bloom. But soon, Peter noticed Mary Jane's panic, and his mind went blank at this moment -

The performance could have been a disaster.

Peter didn't want Mary Jane's performance to be ruined, so he straightened his back slightly and looked at Mary Jane, his eyes showing gentle power, and he kept communicating with Mary Jane's eyes. Then, word by word, Peter reminded her silently with his mouth.

"I'm. Happy."

This is Peter, and this is Anson.

In the chaos, Christen noticed Anson's mouth shape, and without realizing it, the corners of his mouth slightly rose again.

At the same time, a man's voice was heard from the stage space, "Are you unhappy when I say this?"

Finally, Christen came to his senses and his thoughts slowly returned to the ground.

She glanced at Anson, a smile rising slightly at the corners of her mouth, and without delay turned her head to look at her real opponent on the stage. Looking at the actor's flustered expression pretending to be calm, and the stage manager on the side stage holding his head in despair, the curve of her mouth became lighter and lighter.

"Yes...I am...very happy..."

After a slight hiccup, Kristen has returned to the play, not only as Mary Jane, but also as Mary Jane performing a stage play.

Like nesting dolls, one layer inside another.

Because there were so many layers, Kristen was a little dazed. For a moment, she couldn't remember the lines.

The whole scene seemed extremely ridiculous.

“…You said so.”

Kristen continued to squeeze out the lines bit by bit, like squeezing out toothpaste.

On the stage, the actor must have been covered in cold sweat, and he let out a long breath without trying to hide it. The stage manager on the side stage even staggered as his knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

"In fact, I must admit, it's more than a little bad..."

When Christen saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she had a hard time trying to hold back her laughter.

Subconsciously, Christen turned her head again and looked forward, easily finding Anson in the crowd. She looked up, exhaled lightly, with an expression as if she had survived a disaster.

Anson's mouth twitched slightly as well, and he was about to break his composure. He quickly lowered his head and used his left hand to control the corner of his mouth, suppressing his smile. He immediately raised his head and signaled with his eyes:

Focus. Stay focused.

After a brief panic, Christen had completely calmed down. Noticing Anson's expression, she assumed a complacent posture, leaning slightly against the back of the chair, with her left leg raised on tiptoes, perfectly portraying her proud posture.

lifelike.

"Card!"

Sam Raimi's voice sounded again, ending the shoot.

This time, without waiting for Sam or Kristen to speak, the group of idiots bustling behind the monitor could no longer control themselves.

Haha. Hahahaha.

The collective burst into laughter.

Sam:? ? ?
It was totally incomprehensible. Sam turned his head and looked around, looking at these guys with confusion. His serious expression immediately cut off all his laughter.

The atmosphere on the crew had just become cheerful, but in the blink of an eye it felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Sam seemed to not care at all. He stood up slowly from behind the monitor and looked around the room expressionlessly, breaking the deadlock just before the air was about to freeze and suffocate.

"Perfect."

After saying that, Sam held out his two hands with his thumbs pointing up.

Only then did I notice that the smile on Sam's lips was slightly rising.

It turned out that everyone had been fooled by Sam just now.

Wails and cheers rang out one after another. The entire crew became noisy. Everyone was still frightened and sweating profusely, and the voices of protest calling for the director were heard everywhere.

Sam looked at the wailing in front of him with a satisfied look on his face.
