"Cut! Good, good, Patrick, keep this feeling..."

Most of Patrick Schwytz's scenes are very difficult performances. The feeling of being in front of a room of people, but no one can see you, requires a strong imagination to perform well.

On the one hand, Ronald asked the extras to encourage Schwytz as much as possible, and applauded him as much as possible at the end of every filming to inspire the actor's sense of pride.

On the other hand, he also had to give Schwytz a lot of psychological massage and constantly told him that he was very satisfied with his performance.

Shooting a monologue in front of the camera is actually not as difficult as many people think. Because there is usually an actor behind the camera acting opposite you. When actually filming, you are still performing in front of a real person, and you have a relationship with him.

Interactions such as eyes, expressions, body movements, etc.

When it finally appeared on the screen, it was certainly shocking, as if he had performed such a powerful performance in front of the air.

But the real difficulty is Patrick Schwytz's performance. When the camera is focused on him, there are more than one actors surrounding him, but because of the plot (no one can see Sam's ghost)

, so they all turned a blind eye to Schwyz.

In other words, it looked like an easy performance, but in fact Patrick Schwytz was unable to get feedback from any of the actors.

It is said that acting is about reacting. Two characters react normally to each other's lines, so that they can promote each other.

On the surface, many actors are present, but they don't get any feedback when performing. This is the difficulty for Patrick Schwytz.

Sometimes, Ronald would stand behind the camera, acting as Schwytz's only audience and the one who affirmed his performance. He didn't have to react, he just needed to use affirmative eyes and a slight nod.

Give Schwytz some "you're doing a great job" pat on the back.

Even so, there were still many scenes that did not satisfy Ronald.

There is no way, Patrick Schwytz is not a top actor. Ronald had to use more close-ups to connect scenes that he felt were not convincing enough.

This is the strength of stars like Patrick Schwytz. The close-up has been the source of star magic ever since it was invented by Griffith, the first great Hollywood director.

The human mind has a special recognition mode for human faces. We can recognize an acquaintance much faster than we can recognize an animal or any other living or inanimate object.

To put it simply, our brains like to look at faces, especially good-looking faces that make us have certain impulses.

Ever since a good-looking human face was zoomed in with a close-up lens onto a screen as big as two floors and watched by hundreds of viewers in a dark big house without any interruptions, the species star was born.

.

Sometimes Patrick Schwytz's performance was not good, so Ronald planned to insert a close-up shot to make the audience forget about the unharmonious performance and directly immerse themselves in the pain and joy of that star's face, unconsciously.

Shift your attention to the next scene.

"Patrick is really good. I saw how he shot this kind of shot, and I realized how difficult it is."

Demi Moore acted as Schwytz's counterpart behind the camera in this scene. After Ronald gave Schwytz some psychological training, she also nodded to express her admiration.

"Tell your colleagues more..." Ronald said.

"What do you mean?" Demi Moore was a little confused.

"What I mean is, when marketing the movie, you should talk more to the media about the difficulty of Patrick's performance, and...hey, forget it..." Ronald saw Schwytz coming over and stopped talking.

Put it down and quickly go up and praise him.

Demi Moore seems to understand something...

Patrick Schwytz is actually a star with a huge fan base after "Dirty Dancing". But like everyone who becomes famous as a star but wants to be a good actor, he hopes to gain critical acclaim through this movie

and recognition of awards.

But with such acting skills, not to mention the audience, even ordinary actors don't know how difficult it is.

Therefore, in the review circle, which is dominated by film critics who have no film shooting experience, and in the award circle, which is dominated by actors who have never filmed such roles, most people still can’t feel Schwytz’s acting skills this time.

of the sublime.

Ronald's phrase "Speak more to your peers" is a veiled complaint.

…

"Is it coming to me?"

Soon, after a large number of Schwytz's scenes were filmed, it was Demi Moore's turn. She also had several scenes in this movie that she had to act without anyone's feedback.

"Almost, just wait for a while, and Patrick will come and play with you later to give you a little feel." Ronald replied with a smile.

This scene is not a big problem for an actress of Demi Moore's caliber. The problems she faces are simpler than Schwytz's.

For example, the scenes shot today are close-ups of her facing the camera. They were when Sam just died, when Molly missed her boyfriend in the middle of the night, she was crying silently alone, and when Sam exposed the bad guy Carl.

, the scene when you finally go to heaven and say goodbye to Molly.

Although these two scenes are far apart in the script, the scenes are the same, so in this kind of medium and large-scale production, they are usually shot together. It is convenient for scheduling and it is also convenient for the actors to find the size of their emotions.

"I don't think anyone else needs to be involved in this, I need to be alone to brew it..." Demi Moore read the script again carefully and suddenly made a request.

"OK, I'll go tell Patrick..." Ronald will consider the actor's request as appropriate. This kind of solo scene mainly relies on the actor to mobilize his own imagination and previous emotional memory.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ronald will not make requirements for actors like the Methodists, forcing them to mobilize the emotions of a certain life experience. But he will definitely agree to how the actors want to act.

of.

This is Molly doing pottery alone after the funeral. She couldn't sleep alone. Suddenly, the sadness accumulated for many days burst out triggered by a small incident. The camera only caught her alone, and the audience mainly relied on Dai.

Mi's acting creates sympathy.

"Action!"

Demi Moore sat on the top of the wooden stairs in the house. The camera shot upwards. More than two-thirds of the composition was occupied by the tall wooden ladder. Demi Moore was sitting there, revealing

of a sad face.

Demi Moore's performance was very good, and the sadness was very full. Then she picked up the lucky coin in the glass jar and threw it to the opposite wall (that is, towards the camera).

"Sorry, sorry..." Demi Moore had been thinking for a long time, and just before throwing the coin, she suddenly raised her hand...

"Cut!", Ronald called a stop. Demi Moore took the initiative to call a stop because she was not in the right mood. There were very few times. What happened this time?

"I think the emotions are wrong. When people are desperate and sad, they don't have the energy to burst out... They often live in a muddle for a long time. Only when they are suddenly aroused by something, pain and sorrow will come to their hearts. At this time, they are

There is no energy..."

"What you said makes sense..." Ronald agreed very much with Demi Moore's idea. This kind of acting skills that can more accurately figure out and grasp the character's psychology cannot be achieved without talent.

"Tsk..." Ronald sighed. Demi Moore was still in bad luck. No one saw her potential like he did. The roles she got before were all urban girls with a bit of "Bitch" flavor.

As long as the true character appears, that's fine.

"Action!" Ronald shouted again to start.

Demi Moore sat blankly on the floor of the second floor at the top of the ladder, her eyes full of sadness, and she rolled the glass jar with coins back and forth on the ground with one hand.

"Hey..." Demi Moore's eyes were a little unfocused. She was looking at Ronald behind the camera, and past memories came to her mind.

Why doesn't this man want to develop a reliable relationship with him? If he wants, he can be a good wife and mother like Diane.

In the end, she could only marry a rough guy like Bruce Willis, and have to change diapers and feed her children like a servant in the middle of the night.

I have a bad background, so what's wrong with relying on men to get the upper hand? I blame myself for exposing my true side too much when I discovered this unpolished diamond...

An uncomfortable feeling surged into her heart. As soon as Demi Moore moved her finger, the glass bottle slowly rolled towards the wooden stairs.

The glass bottle rolled faster and faster. After falling down two stairs, it shattered on the third step...

"Snapped!"

"Cut!", Ronald paused for a few seconds and then stopped. This shot was quite perfect. The glass bottle was arranged by props, and it fell quite easily. Moreover, Demi Moore's expression, with tears in her eyes, was

The control that didn't flow out formed a very heart-wrenching and loving expression.

"Wonderful...", Ronald took the lead in applauding, and the applause echoed throughout the studio.

"Demi Moore is a Methodist. She must have thought about her own memory. I wonder what made her so melancholy and sad?" Ronald couldn't ask Demi, or Emilio Estevez.

Did he cheat on a Latina girl and give birth to an illegitimate child during a relationship with her?

It doesn't seem like it, maybe his stepfather who was very good to him committed suicide after being tortured by her mother?

"Hey, it's not easy for Demi either..."

"Well, well..." Demi Moore seems to have not gotten rid of her emotions. It is actually very dangerous for Method actors to mobilize emotional memories. If this emotion caused trauma to her in the past, human nature will

Hide it, don't think about it.

In order to move the audience and successfully make them empathize, fully recalling the trauma that people subconsciously want to avoid is actually quite harmful to the actors.

Demi Moore could not get rid of her sadness. When she saw Ronald approaching, she hugged the man and started to cry.

"God, good girl, good girl, you are a good girl...don't cry, I feel it, everything is over..."

Ronald held Demi Moore in his arms and felt that she was crying very emotionally and sadly. Her whole body was still shaking violently in his arms, as if her emotions were very intense.

A few minutes later, Demi Moore's shoulders no longer twitched involuntarily. She felt the warmth of Ronald's embrace all over her body and slowly calmed down.

"Everyone, take a rest for an hour and let Demi have a good rest and adjust..." Ronald looked at Demi Moore who raised her head in his arms and looked quite fragile, with red eyes. The image of the originally strong mother,

Suddenly broken, Ronald seemed to see her fainting in the hospital and confiding her feelings to him.

"Sorry, I didn't control my emotions well, thank you..."

"It's okay. I'll give you some hot drinks. You'll feel better after drinking them. Calm down slowly, don't be anxious..."
