The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1295 In full swing
"Perfect!"

Dallas only captured this one word in the director's words.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart, an excitement and happiness that was difficult to explain in words overflowed in my chest, as if I had finally taken a solid step.

However, this adrenaline-fueled energy only lasted for two seconds.

The director said, let's switch to Sam Phillips's shot next, which made Dallas' brain freeze into ice. He reacted belatedly:

Just now, such a wonderful and perfect performance came from Anson, from Larry and Dan John, and had almost nothing to do with him.

Although Dallas was also performing, he was off-camera the entire time, helping Anson with his scenes and not appearing on camera.

Now, the crew is preparing to shoot the Dallas scenes.

But Dallas didn't know if it could do it.

God, this is a disaster—

Anson's performance was so perfect in the front, and then he followed closely afterwards. There is no harm without comparison, and everyone can see how bad he is.

"Hey, Sam."

At the call, Dallas raised his head reflexively and looked over, and immediately met Anson's eyes.

There was an illusion that it was Johnny Cash.

"you can."

He said.

Understated and unhurried, with no extra words and no special encouragement, it is so simple, yet reveals a self-evident certainty.

Dallas's restless and chaotic mood calmed down involuntarily.

Thinking about it carefully, it was the same just now. He thought he couldn't do it, and he backed off before the filming even started. But how did he get into the role?

"Look at me." Johnny spoke again, pulling the corners of his mouth stiffly, "I'm more nervous than you."

Dallas was stunned.

He finally realized what was going on—

It’s all because of the person in front of me.

Truly outstanding actors are often able to create an atmosphere and control the rhythm through their performances, and help their co-actors and the crew get into the mood.

This is not easy.

However, no one expected that Anson actually had such ability.

Of course, this is a good thing.

Sam relaxed a little, and said, "But you don't have to. No one can do better than you."

Johnny raised his right hand, interlaced his index and middle fingers together, and made a prayer gesture, "I hope so."

From Anson to Johnny, and from Johnny to Anson, the two faces and two souls overlapped quietly, and it was hard to tell them apart. This illusion made him slightly stunned, and the line between reality and illusion blurred again, like pushing open a door and entering a whole new world.

Quietly, Sam stared at the man in black in front of him. Without looking him up and down, his gaze stayed on his face. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of appreciation and a little expectation.

Then, a sound came from the air and exploded above the eardrum.

"Start shooting!"

The shooting started again in full swing.

Finally, "Sing Along" started filming in Memphis. Despite some twists and turns, the filming went very smoothly after it actually started. Things were slightly different from what was expected.

On the one hand, it is true that Forest Pictures lacks experience. This is their first film, and the work behind the scenes is full of challenges. At the same time, the two "vase actors" Anson and Reese challenging the biographical film also brings many concerns and hidden dangers, and the crew may need a period of adjustment.

However, on the other hand, Mangold is worthy of being a veteran director who has been in Hollywood for ten years. He has worked with big-name actors such as Robert De Niro, Meg Ryan, Winona Ryder, Sylvester Stallone, etc. He is experienced and is at the peak of his creation. The success of his latest work "Identity" is the best proof. Obviously, he knows what he is doing and how to do it.

As time goes by, the crew of "Singing with You" may be filled with many variables.

It is precisely because of this that Hollywood is not optimistic about the cooperation between Forest Pictures and "Walk with Me", and even now, it still reserves its attitude.

After all, similar projects, biographical films aiming to win Oscars, produced and distributed by small independent film companies, trying to make a breakthrough in the fierce competition in Hollywood, but ended up being quietly drowned out by the countless projects during the awards season. This is not the first or second time.

So, what about reality?

From director Mangold to the two actors Anson and Reese, the three people show completely different sides.

The fact is that the three of them treated their work wholeheartedly. Not only did they conduct in-depth investigations and research, but they also made full preparations before joining the crew, conceiving their own work and drawing their own blueprints, just like good students who would preview in class.

A good student is not someone who just does casual preparation, but one who thoroughly understands all the knowledge.

Therefore, when three people meet, they actively and proactively speak out, and they can understand each other's meaning easily, and then discuss and negotiate on the spot to seek consensus and reach resonance.

There is thought, there is soul, there is spark.

The efficiency of the iron triangle's cooperation is amazing.

Almost every day after the filming is over, you can see the iron triangle discussing the filming and work together. Sometimes they quarrel until they are red in the face, sometimes they chat and laugh happily, and sometimes they compete with each other, but the crew can feel the atmosphere of concentration and dedication.

This was obviously not expected.

The core engine of the entire crew ran at high speed, which was not only smooth but also powerful. All work went smoothly into high-speed operation mode.

Problem? Trouble? Situation?

It doesn’t matter. The crew is always able to gather together and solve the problem smoothly at the first opportunity. Every time a problem is solved, the crew can feel more united.

From top to bottom, from inside to outside, the scene is bustling with activity.

No experience with Forest Pictures?

So what? Lack of experience means immaturity and immaturity, but it also means youth and vigor, and maintaining vigorous energy and enthusiasm.

Obviously, the "Singing with You" crew belongs to the latter.

While Anson and his team were working intensively in Memphis, Hollywood, across half the North American continent, was still operating normally:

The annual Oscar awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

The Academy is right. The Oscars are still the Oscars. It will not stop because of anyone. Even if someone is absent, someone dies, someone refuses, or even encounters boycotts and protests like last year, the award ceremony will remain unmoved and will continue as usual.

Likewise, Anson's absence did not affect Oscar.

On February 2004, , the th Academy Awards officially kicked off at the Kodak Theater.

After last year's boycott, the Oscars finally regained its reputation and glory in a whole year, and the red carpet returned to the public's attention.

Crowded.

In fact, Anson's absence not only failed to affect the award ceremony, but also unfortunately missed the classic moment when the Oscars once again made history.

In response, Anson said: Even if I attended, history has nothing to do with me, so I might as well concentrate on filming.
