Art comes from life, and actual life experience can bring inspiration and passion to creators, allowing actors to create artistically explosive characters.
Kate and Martin's rehearsals allowed them to become familiar with the scenes, experience life, and improve each other's artistic pursuits.
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
There are at least a dozen scenes with particularly high artistic content in the script. Although only half of them will be left in the final film, they must all be shot on the set.
Martin is a dedicated and good actor with artistic pursuits who is willing to make personal sacrifices for the art of acting.
The only problem is that in most of the scenes, he is extremely passive, and his rhythm is completely controlled by the heroine Kate.
Near midnight, Kate struggled to get up and prepare to leave.
No more rehearsals at this time, Martin invited: "Stay here tonight?"
Kate turned back, glanced at Martin, smiled slightly and said, "You have to remember, we are here for work."
What could Martin say? All I can say is: "I understand, it is for the perfect artistic interpretation of the character and for the common artistic pursuit."
Kate said: "I will come over tomorrow night. We need to be more involved in these scenes and have harmonious emotional exchanges."
"No matter what, I will fully cooperate with you." Martin got dressed and walked Kate to the door: "If you have any requests, just ask, I will be here at your call."
Kate stopped in front of the door, like Hannah in the script, and gently brushed Martin's young face: "I know you won't be stressed, don't think too much, don't think too much, we are just here to work, this is a long time." A small section of the artistic path.”
Martin's heart was so big, how could he think too much? He nodded immediately: "Dedicate yourself to art, I have already had this awareness."
Kate opened the door and left.
Martin closed the door and slept peacefully until dawn.
After breakfast, he arrived at the set on time.
Two days passed without the male lead, and Martin joined the filming again.
The crew is operating normally, and both Kate and director Sam are focused on their work as before.
Martin was naturally not too troublesome and continued to work very professionally.
Before finishing work, director Sam convened a meeting with the main cast and crew.
"Except for the special artistic shots, all the scenes before the separation of the male and female protagonists have been completed." He looked at Martin and Kate: "We will start reshooting the artistic scenes tomorrow. We had delayed the progress for a few days, and we only have three days for this part of the scene. Time is available, and I hope you will adjust quickly and fully devote yourself to the role."
Martin didn't speak, just nodded.
Kate said: "I found the emotion and feeling that the heroine needs."
Sam added: "We will continue to clear the location for filming tomorrow."
The meeting was short in duration and dispersed quickly.
When leaving the studio, Kate and Martin walked together. She said, "I will continue to rehearse scenes with you tonight, is that okay?"
Martin is very artistic and wants to perform these scenes perfectly, so he asked: "Is it still the same time last night?"
After leaving the studio, Martin drove Kate to the parking lot, and the two left in separate cars.
Not long after dinner, Kate appeared in Martin's room on time.
The two of them already had a tacit understanding. There was no need to say anything more. They just followed the specially designed script and scene. Just like last night, they were familiar with each other and communicated with each other full of emotion.
Sometimes, real experience can indeed solve many performance problems.
When filming the next day, Martin clearly felt that Kate was in better condition, completely controlling the rhythm and guiding him into the scene.
The art shots that I struggled with before can basically be passed in one step.
Director Sam is also in good condition, and his shouts can be heard from time to time on the set: "Kate, yes! This is the feeling, not only the fishing nets, but also the emotions created, use them to fight hard!"
Although Martin was passive, he was inspired by Kate to fight and went all out.
Every time after the scene, Sam praised Martin: "Well done! Keep up your fighting spirit and keep doing this!"
Martin could only respond with a shy smile like a leading actor.
In just two days, all the artistic shots were shot.
Martin also saw how dedicated Kate and Sam were.
Anyway, if it were him, no matter what, it would be impossible to achieve this state.
Someone once said that you can't make a living without being crazy in acting.
At that time, Martin had struggled from the bottom for more than 20 years before he gradually became a decent person. He had never seen this state even in many famous veteran actors.
He has never seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard some people talk about certain examples, such as the one who starred in Farewell My Concubine.
When he came to Hollywood, Martin did more than just fool around with Nicholson and Leonardo.
Similar topics are occasionally discussed.
Leonardo considers himself far removed from it.
A proud person like Nicholson also thought that he could not reach this level, so he mentioned the name of Daniel Day-Lewis.
In the past two days, Kate may have entered a similar state.
In comparison, Martin feels like he's still stuck at the level of an average actor with slightly better acting skills.
The artistic scenes were shot one day earlier than planned, so the crew simply took a day off.
Martin took a good rest and adjusted. After all, filming this kind of scene is very torturous, especially for an actor who cannot control the rhythm.
I slept in in the morning and went to the airport to see Leonardo and Nicholson off to Paris in the afternoon.
Originally, the trio planned to have a party over the weekend.
But a female model named Poppy Delevingne had an appointment. Leonardo, a bastard who had no mercy for his love, kicked Martin away and rushed to Chanel's party.
Nicholson is going back to watch the Lakers summer league game.
On his way back from the airport, Martin received a call from Lily.
"I'm going to Los Angeles. When will you come back from London?" In Lily's room, the suitcase was open and she packed some clothes: "If you don't have time, I will go to school by myself."
Martin will not be able to go back until the filming of this movie is finished. He said: "The earliest I can go back is August. You go to school first. Who will accompany you to Los Angeles? Elena?"
Lily snorted, slightly dissatisfied: "She asked me to fly over by myself."
Martin said: "Send me the flight booking information and I will have someone pick you up at the airport."
"Okay." Lily complained slightly to her sister: "Elena refuses to go to Los Angeles no matter what."
Martin ignored this and said instead: "It's a good time that you came to Los Angeles. From now on, you don't have to mail the engraving materials, which will be more convenient."
Lily was stunned while holding her phone. Is this why Martin helped him get a letter of recommendation?
It seems that college life in the future will be miserable, right?
Several pictures and lines of words flashed through Lily's mind: Humanoid engraving machine!
Martin asked: "Why are you suddenly silent? Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the materials. They are all free. Don't worry about running out. I will purchase them in bulk from Australia."
Lily walked forward, came to the door, and bumped her head against the door frame. Her eyes were red, and she almost shed tears of grievance, but she said, "I will try my best."
"I have confidence in you and my full support," Martin said.
Lily was silent for a moment, not wanting to talk to the person opposite.
From the receiver, Martin's voice came out: "Old Bu, please place an order for raw materials from Australia again. The quantity will be twice that of before. Lily is about to go to Los Angeles to attend college. I must give her some gifts."
Is this a gift? Is this a gift? Lily was going crazy inside, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only say politely: "Martin, don't spend too much money."
Martin said: "It's okay, a little money."
Lily couldn't hold it anymore: "Elena called me, it must be about booking a flight. I will call you after the flight is booked."
Martin hung up the phone. He originally wanted to call Jessica and ask her to pick him up at the airport, but after thinking about it, he called Thomas.
After two days without finding something to do for the agent, Martin felt like he was crying because the agent's commission had been taken away.
A good celebrity client must not let his agent idle.
After a day of rest and adjusting to his condition, Martin regained his full energy and devoted himself to the subsequent shooting.
All the teenage scenes of the male protagonist were filmed, and the scenes that followed were all middle-aged Michelle.
Correspondingly, Kate also becomes an elderly Hannah.
If you want to win an Oscar, you must not only have the determination to sacrifice for art, but also have a breakthrough performance.
According to the plan, both Martin and Kate will change their looks to suit the so-called Oscar taste.
Especially the role of elderly Hannah, which requires Kate to be old and ugly.
Relatively speaking, Martin is still a middle-aged handsome guy.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is 50% acting and 50% makeup.
Like The Devil Wears Prada, it's not so much Theron's outstanding acting skills as it is the makeup that's perfect. Theron is determined to break the boat and torture a living beauty into a female version of hate.
This is the breakthrough promoted by the Oscars, which is completely different from the standards of the three major European film festivals.
The crew invited the top makeup artists and stylists in the industry, and Martin and Kate spent at least nearly two hours on makeup every day.
Sometimes it can even take more than three hours.
Bruce will also find the right time to take a special shot of Martin putting on makeup, and with the consent of the crew, post it to Martin's blog, causing fans to marvel.
"It takes three hours to put on makeup. It's really hard on Martin."
"Feel sorry for Martin for five minutes."
"Being a star is really hard and tiring. It's not easy for Martin."
Crazy fans are spread all over the world regardless of country or region.
After filming, Martin occasionally takes time to read his personal blog or the official website of Coca-Cola.
When he saw the fans' messages, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old Bu, do you know? I used to feel awkward and even disgusted when I saw these."
When he saw the traffickers at that time, it was no exaggeration to say that he was envious, jealous, and hateful.
Bruce looked at the fans' messages and asked, "Not anymore."
"Everyone is willing to listen to compliments." Martin said directly: "I have become the person I hated the most."
He suddenly thought of Blake Lively: "I even slept with a female fan!"
