The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1403 Clearing the clouds and revealing the sun
The crew of "Singing with You"...stumbled and had a rough life.

We encountered many difficulties from the preparation stage, and after many years of twists and turns, we finally started filming. We thought that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon would appear, but we never expected that when we were really preparing to start filming, a new wave of disasters came one after another, leaving us no time to breathe.

Clap and stop, stop and clap.

Accidents and incidents happened one after another, until the crew members had given up resistance and finally accepted all the storms with peace of mind.

Similar situations happen so many times that there is no need to make a fuss every time.

however!
The truly magical thing is that, while there are twists and turns and constant troubles outside the play, everything goes smoothly inside the play.

Since that night, Anson "was too absorbed in the role and became obsessed", and there were even rumors that Anson had a serious schizophrenia and needed a doctor's care every day, but Anson returned to the crew without hesitation and re-dedicated himself to filming. Since then, the crew's filming progressed smoothly -

It's no wonder that the rumors are true, because Anson seems to have really grasped the essence of acting. His incisive and layered performance completely awakened the soul of Johnny Cash. Not to mention the other actors in the crew, even the producer James Keach was completely convinced.

Everyone in and out of the crew knew that Kitcher was a friend of Johnny Cash. Not only was they close, but he was also the sole licensee of the Johnny Cash biopic. Kitcher has always regarded himself as an expert on Johnny Cash and has been constantly giving opinions on the crew's work on the script, performance, costume design, and so on.

In Kitcher's view, Johnny Cash is unique, historic and unrepeatable.

Although Kitcher didn't point fingers in front of Anson, he never held back in front of Lucas and always spoke out.

But it was this kind of Kitcher who kept his mouth shut obediently and concentrated on enjoying Anson's performance. He even often stared at Anson on the monitor in a daze, sitting there without saying a word for hours, as if he was immersed in the memories of himself and Johnny Cash and couldn't extricate himself.

No other languages ​​are needed.

One could sense the change in emotions just from Kiche.

No wonder the crew members increasingly believed that Anson might have been too immersed in the role and couldn't extricate himself. His method acting made him immersed in the role. There are countless such situations. From Robert De Niro to Daniel Day-Lewis, they have all been unable to get out of the role many times.

And now, it's Anson's turn——

During this period of filming, Johnny Cash was experiencing the darkest and most painful years of his life, constantly floating in endless chaos; and Anson completely entered Johnny Cash's world, losing his mind bit by bit in confusion and despair, in torment and torture.

Incredibly, whether in front of the camera or off camera, the crew members could see the changes in the character of Johnny Cash slowly entering Anson's body. After the filming was over, Anson's bright, sunny, carefree and lazy temperament seemed to be swallowed up and eroded by the darkness. Johnny Cash's struggle seemed to be seen in his staggering steps and misty vision.

Everything is seen.

Unconsciously, the entire crew was drawn into the 1950s and 1960s, and seemed to have returned to that era.

It was under Anson's influence that the actors, staff, extras and temporary actors were firmly united, which made the filming of "Singing with You" particularly smooth.

No matter what happens outside the play or any accidents, as long as the camera starts rolling, the crew will be able to get into the state and complete the shooting efficiently.

Originally, accidents happened one after another, and the situation continued. The crew whispered in private and expressed their concerns. It seemed that delays in the filming schedule were inevitable, and it might even be a full month later than planned.

If it is the same level of investment as "Spider-Man" or "Titanic", it is common to postpone the filming for a month, not to mention a month, and it is not uncommon to postpone it for six months. But for the level of investment of "Sing Along", and it is an award season work, a one-month delay is simply a complete disaster, and often also foreshadows the failure of the film:

The reason is very intuitive. Delays often mean that there are problems with the crew's filming, either the director's "artistic creation" has encountered a bottleneck, or the crew's cooperation is completely incompatible. In Hollywood's mature and perfect production industry system, a one-month delay for a small-cost, small-scale art work is already a rare event. The longer the delay, the more problems there will be.

The ending might be... a failure, an epic failure that would cause the world to collapse and the sky to break.

Whether it is a genre film or an art film, postponement is not a good thing——

There are only very, very few exceptions.

However, all the guesses were wrong.

The filming of "Singing with You" was not delayed, but started ten days ahead of schedule, entering the final part of the film.

Ten days!

Considering that the crew started filming half a month late, it is a miracle that they were able to complete the shooting ahead of schedule.

Not to mention other people, even the "Sing Along" crew themselves were stunned, and they were still confused after experiencing the whole process in person:

May I ask, how did we do this?
It was precisely because of this that the look he gave Anson again was filled with admiration and wonder.

Obviously, the answer is here.

Looking back now at the complaints before the crew started filming, it seems like a lifetime ago.

From any perspective, "Songs of Love" is a very special and important work in Anson's career:
Before the filming of this biographical film began, there were constant doubts, and even due to the combined effect of various reasons, it was pushed to a new peak.

But Anson was completely unaware that a series of unexpected actions brought trouble to the crew, one after another, seemingly challenging the nerves of Hollywood.

These circumstances posed many challenges to the filming process; however, as time went on and as the work progressed, Anson overturned prejudices one by one with practical actions, and even against the backdrop of the huge success of "The Sun Is My Own", he took practical actions to prove his ambition for his work as an actor.

Actions are always more powerful than words.

It is more intuitive and more shocking than any words, any publicity, or any public relations.

Others didn't know, but there was no doubt that everyone in the "Sing Along With You" crew could feel the change in mentality. When they looked at Anson again, they saw a completely different image.

Later, the news spread like wildfire.

In a circle as small as Hollywood, news always spreads quickly.

However, others do not believe it.

"Walk the Walk" is the first work of Forest Pictures. Everyone knows that Forest Pictures is the company of the Wood brothers. These rumors are obviously spread by Lucas in order to reverse Anson's image. They are fake, they can't be more fake. Not only are they false, but they are also hypocritical. Anyone who believes them is a puppy.
