The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 582: Social responsibility
Early in the morning, a large number of people gathered in the high school where the "Delicate" crew was located. Looking at it roughly, it was estimated that there were nearly a hundred people. For those big crews, this is less than one-tenth of a small scale; but for small independent crews, it looks mighty, like a vast ocean.
However, despite the large crowd, it was not noisy at all. To be more precise, the entire crew seemed a little lost and a little sad. Because today is the day when the crew of the "detachment" is finalized, and there is still the shooting of the last scene. After the filming is over, the filming of the entire film is announced, and everyone is unavoidably reluctant to give up.
During the filming, everyone complained, especially when I met Tony and Lan Li, a big madman and a little madman, the work process was simply miserable, except for the scene of the bus, which was filmed in a record-breaking manner. After seventy-one times, many scenes were re-shot over and over again. There were at least ten scenes that were repeatedly reshot more than thirty times.
According to the production crew, this time the "transcendence" film is enough to cut out a half of "America's Past." For reference, the director's cut version of "Once Upon a Time in America" is two hundred and twenty-nine minutes, which is nearly four hours. No one knows how long Tony is going to cut a movie, even the screenwriter Karl Lund himself complained, "I can be sure that this movie was made with the intention of driving the audience out of the cinema."
But when it really came to an end, everyone started to be indifferent. There is only one main reason: Renly Hall.
To be honest, Lan Li is not an exquisite and comprehensive person. He and most of the crew members are not familiar with or even said anything; but Lan Li is a dedicated and dedicated actor, watching him filming is really one thing. This kind of enjoyment is like watching a play in a Broadway theater.
The difference is that when watching Broadway, the audience is just amazed and dumbfounded, while when watching Lan Li's filming, he carefully shows the process, level and depth of the performance before everyone. On the one hand, it allows people to deeply feel the difference in performance power, and truly distinguishes outstanding actors from ordinary performances; on the other hand, it allows people to truly feel the difficulties and challenges of performance, and at the same time understand the dedication and ordinary performance. the difference.
Tony is a movie idiot. In order to shoot the work of "Beyond", the selection of the entire crew also has strict requirements in terms of professionalism. Just look at the actor Cast. Each of these people has artistic background and recognizes good and bad. Although they have a high vision and temperament, all of them are knowledgeable.
The shooting process was really hard. An independent film was shot for nearly seven weeks, and it was no less impressive than those commercial blockbusters; but it was really enjoyable and made people truly feel the suffering and happiness of artistic creation.
There was a rumor in the "anti-cancer me" that Lan Li was too self-conscious for filming, so that his health had problems. Regrettably, he was absent from the Oscar. Now that I have personally experienced it, I now understand what is going on. Even with that, many people became interested in the "anti-cancer me".
It was about to be finished now, and the regret and loss in my heart would inevitably begin to spread, and my mouth was full of bitterness but I didn't know how to describe it.
With a smile on Jeremy Max’s face, the hard torment is finally over. Feeling the low pressure of the crew, he could not help but comforted, “It’s a good thing to end. If you want to abuse yourself, there will be cooperation next time. Opportunity." But even Jeremy's words of comfort were weak, his smile looked heavy and weak, and the feeling of emptiness in his heart couldn't be described in words.
Was it the same in school days? When I was in school, I always missed the vacation, but after the real vacation, I missed the time in class. Even if he knew this was extremely absurd, he still couldn't control it.
Thinking about it now, Jeremy laughed blankly at Lan Li's horizontal eyebrows, and life is full of surprises because of the impermanence of the world.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, Sir!"
There was a burst of greetings in the ear, and Jeremy knew that it was Lanly who had arrived on the crew without turning his head.
Because Lan Li played a teacher in the movie, the students were called "sir". This time, all the actors who played the students were ordinary people with no acting experience, and all of them were high school students. Gradually, They are also used to this name, shouting like this in and out of the play. Over time, even the crew members began to call Lan Li as such.
Even the director Tony did not receive such treatment.
Looking back, Jeremy saw Lan Li with a relaxed smile on his face. The gentle and bookish air made people feel particularly comfortable. He took the initiative to step forward and said hello, "Good morning. Are you ready? The crew? It’s all in place, now we’re waiting for the actors to play."
Lan Li smiled and nodded, "No problem, you can start right away." With that, Lan Li walked straight towards the classroom.
In the last finale of the whole movie, Tony chose Henry's class.
Before that, Henry had already determined that he would end his substitute career in this school. When he went to another school, the students seemed reluctant, and they could all feel that among so many teachers, Henry was the only one. A teacher who really cares about them, but now, this teacher is leaving too. There is still no hope in life.
And this class was the last class after Meredith committed suicide and before the end of the semester. The atmosphere in the whole class was very depressing. Henry looked at Meredith's vacant position with a heavy heart. Here, he read a poem by Allan Poe, the one that Lanly and Tony chose when they auditioned, "The Fall of Usher House."
The movie will end in this poem. But this scene is undoubtedly very difficult. All emotions are suppressed under the water and hidden in the poetry. It requires actors to have a deep understanding of the lines, emotions, director's intentions, and students. However, Tony has absolute trust in Lan Li, so he chose this difficult scene as the final touch, and finished shooting all other shots in advance.
After entering the classroom, Lan Li saw that the student actors were already sitting in their seats, and they were ready to shoot one by one. He waved his hand, "Good morning."
"Good morning, sir." The students said sparsely and unevenly, their voices weak.
This made Lan Li chuckle, "Why are you so listless? Shouldn't you be happy? Such a long torture is finally coming to an end. You don't need to continue to suffer anymore. The next day is the holiday...Oh, I'm all Forget it, school will start in a week, right? You guys are sorry because the summer vacation is about to end?"
The students looked at each other and no one spoke. After waiting for a short while, a black student raised his hand and got Lan Li’s consent before he said, "Sir, I think I'm going to be separated. I'm very sorry. You said, will we still have a chance to meet in the future? ?"
"Yeah, sir. You said, can we leave the Bronx? I still want to continue studying, but I don't know if I can continue after school starts this year."
"Sir, I want to be an actor, do you think it's possible?"
"Sir, is reading really useful?"
…
The chattering words came and went one after another, which made Lan Li stunned slightly. For him, this is a performance work, but it is also an experience of life; for these students, it is a dream, a beautiful and happy dream. After today, they will wake up and return to reality. In life.
In the corner of his sight, Lan Li saw Sami and Betty. Their scenes had already been filmed, but they came to the crew today. The two stood at the back door of the classroom, looking at Lan Li with mixed eyes.
At this moment, Lan Li really felt the weight of his shoulders, just like Tony was shooting the movie "Beyond". If they only reach out to help poor individuals, their personal strength is ultimately limited. They need the attention of society and the support of more authority figures. Only when the concept of education and the situation of the community are truly changed can they be helped. To more people.
Lan Li has never really done anything, just insisted on being a dedicated actor. UU reading www.uukanshu. How can com be able to win the trust of this group of children; and how can he be able to guide them in the direction of life? It is until today that Lan Li has understood for the first time what is the social responsibility of a public figure.
Lan Li put down his shoulder bag, walked to the front of the podium, pondered his thoughts, and then said, "Trust me, reading is the only way to change your life. You can travel far away, you can now Once you find a job, you can choose to give up or compromise."
"There is no answer in life, everyone will go out of their own way. Becoming an actor, why not? Of course you can be a photographer or an artist; there is nothing to be ashamed of as a blue-collar worker or a tramp. Standing in front of the podium, Lan Li deeply felt the responsibility of teachers and parents. For these confused children, teachers and parents are their only support. "Everyone has his own choice. Can you make money by reading? Can you have enough to eat? The answer is no, but reading can give you these choices. The choice is not necessarily correct, but at least you have the opportunity to choose."
"Will we still have a chance to meet in the future? Maybe, maybe not. But at least we should try and see." Lan Li said with a smile, but his heart was heavy.
All the children clapped and looked at Lan Li with hopeful eyes, which made Lan Li a little embarrassed. He held back his emotions, showed a big smile, raised his right hand and pressed it down, "I am not a teacher, I am just an actor. In the eyes of many people, an actor is not a good role model."
This ridicule succeeded in making everyone laugh, and Betty, who was standing at the back of the classroom, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, bursting into laughter.
