The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 526 Integrate into it
Gus felt that his judgment was being subverted bit by bit, and the labels he had previously attached to Anson were being torn off one by one.

It's the same thing in front of me.

Gus doesn't think blondes are suitable for Anson.

Because Anson's own temperament is relatively low-key, handsome and sunny, elegant and chic, such bright red and green gold is really too tacky, not only has no bonus effect, but also unnecessarily lowers the appearance——

Wigs are the best experiment.

But Anson had different ideas.

Blonde hair, good-looking or not is secondary, because teenagers often make wrong choices; the focus is on a kind of rebellion, which can be seen as his resistance.

result--

Gus didn't like it.

He admitted that after seeing Anson's blonde style, he still didn't like it. It was more tacky and cheaper than a wig. He even suggested that Anson shave his head.

"At least the bald head has personality."

however!
As time went on, Gus finally understood what Anson meant.

In the past few days, Gus has been hiding in the corner of the school and watching, watching Anson, with his gorgeous blond hair, wandering around the campus out of place, like a wandering ghost, the figures coming and going, observing, sizing up, and stopping. He never really got close, as if there was an invisible barrier that tightly surrounded Ansen.

That kind of loneliness and vulnerability comes out naturally.

If he had a bald head, he would look too stubborn and sharp, which would go against the tone of the movie; but his blond hair blooms like fireworks to cover up his loneliness and sadness.

With just a few strokes, an image appears on the page.

So, Gus was wrong again.

For a brief moment, Gus worried that he was partial to Anson and had to find a reasonable explanation to justify it; but seeing the reactions of other children in the school, he knew it——

It was clear that Anson had been wandering in front of them for three whole days, but they were still looking for Anson back and forth like headless flies.

Anson said, "They're looking for Peter Parker, not Anson Wood."

Behind the understatement, people can't help but savor it carefully.

Now, Gus somewhat understood the reason why Anson agreed to star in "Elephant", so Gus was not surprised at all when he saw Anson happily serving as a camera assistant. This is what Anson needs now:

Everything is back to normal.

See, step by step, Gus is completely changing his mind about Anson.

On top of that, Gus's mental picture of the entire movie was taking shape.

Gus couldn't wait to see Anson perform in front of the camera -

"Card!"

"Okay, this scene is fine, let's go to the next one."

Compared with Anson's previous works, Gus's shooting style is very simple. Although Steven's shooting work is efficient, it is the result of sufficient preparation before shooting; Gus did not have much preparation, keeping everything simple and the whole process The filming progress is also advancing rapidly.

In the movie "Elephant", there are not many scenes, but Gus is going to play a trick. The same scene switches to different perspectives. In other words, the same plot may be presented continuously from multiple perspectives.

But unlike those brain-burning reversal movies, Gus hopes to use these monotonous and repetitive shots to express the boringness of campus life, and at the same time outline vivid group portraits to show the scenes seen from different perspectives.

Therefore, before starting to shoot, Gus will confirm the "plot" with the students to ensure that they know what they are doing, and then ignore the presence of the camera and continue to do their own things; then confirm the movement route of the camera to ensure that the students will not collide to Harris.

As for the details such as lines, actions, etc., Gus will not provide guidance, but will be left to the students to express themselves freely.

In the end, Gus will find the protagonist of this scene and confirm that the things are basically the same. The only difference is that the camera will focus on the protagonist and capture the state in different frames such as close-up, close-up, long shot, etc.

The entire shoot only had the basic frame, and everything else seemed very casual.

Overall, Gus rarely finds fault. He cares more about the actor's state and aura than the details of the performance, which is what the camera tries to capture. In the next scene, the protagonist is none other than Anson.

Not only Gus, but also the palm-sized crew can feel the excitement inside and outside; however, Gus's expectations and other people's expectations should not be the same thing.

Gus is looking forward to Anson's acting surprises, while others are looking forward to seeing the performances of Hollywood actors up close and personal -

To put it simply, one is a professional perspective and the other is just watching the fun.

So, what about the protagonist that everyone is watching for?
To be honest, Anson was a little unsure.

In the past, no matter what the role or the plot, there was at least one script. The script had lines, expressions, and states. Coupled with the moves arranged by the crew, the actors could always find their place in the camera lens.

Now, there is no script, nothing, and the phrase "freedom to play" is thrown over, but people are not sure what to do——

The most difficult decision-making proposition in the world is "whatever".

Gus allowed Anson to perform freely. Anson couldn't just perform a 360-degree windmill floor move as soon as he appeared on the stage. If that were the case, Anson wasn't sure whether Gus would explode on the spot.

In terms of acting, Anson is still a newcomer. All the previous roles have traces, and Anson can find a direction with his efforts; but this time there is no one, so he can only rely on himself.

call.

It was a challenge and a learning experience.

Before arriving on the set, Anson had already done his homework and studied the character. From the wig to the blond hair, to integrating into the school, he was shaping the character step by step. Then he only needed to invest in the character according to the idea in his mind, and everything would be fine. .

Anson warned himself secretly.

Then, Anson nodded towards Gus, indicating that he was ready.

But is Anson really ready?

"……Card!"

Gus interrupted filming for the first time, tilting his head in thought.

"Relax a little more, yes, a little more."

But by the fourth interruption, Gus changed his mind.

"It's too much, I need to tighten it up a little, do you understand?"

again and again.

Gus kept interrupting the filming, and although Anson performed according to Gus' instructions every time, Gus was still not satisfied, and it ended up being NG.

"This doesn't feel right, do it again."

"It was good this time, but... let's do it again."

"Well, let's do it again."

The seventh and tenth times, the continuous NG made the shooting a disaster. The entire set was filled with an awkward and suffocating tension that could no longer be found on Alex and Eric's faces. Smile, no one knows what happened, and no one knows what to do——

So, is this the truth about Hollywood?

Behind those wonderful movies are all fragmented amateur performances?

When he was NGed for the fourteenth time, Anson finally couldn't bear it anymore, his face was tired and serious.

"Director, we need to talk."

Wait, are you preparing for a one-on-one duel?
