Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 35 Joe Pesci's performance

With the disappearance of the slate, the first thing to appear is a close-up shot.

The red electric car moved back and forth on the pink carpet, and the dull gear sound caused by the movement was faithfully recorded by the radio. The entire scene only lasted about a second. The connection line moved up slowly, and when the funny figure kneeling on the knees, holding the manipulator in his hand, wearing a woolen overcoat with a round inch, appeared in front of Roland in an instant.

Joe Pesci, who played the thief, raised his mouth, frowned, gritted his silver teeth slightly, and shifted his head; perhaps because the manipulator was a little inflexible, he had to use all his strength, but it was more like being immersed in a children's toy. Pulling himself out, his eyes have been focusing on the car, and with the manipulation of his hands, his body does not stretch naturally like ordinary people, but instead presents a forward slightly bowing curve like a shrimp.

"Cut!"

Seeing this scene, Chris Columbus picked up the guide tube and shouted with a smile, "Good! Excellent!"

Accompanied by sparse applause and laughter, the first shot on the first day of the launch is over.

The ultra-short shots of less than three seconds are just for auspicious omens. The crew will not choose those difficult clips. would not have been chosen by Columbus.

But even so, Roland still saw something wrong.

As the crew went forward to clean up the scene and prepare for the next scene, Joe Pesci also came to Chris Columbus, leaned in front of the monitor, and watched the replay; just as he was hot, Wanting to take off the woolen coat and cool off for a while, Roland, who was standing aside, raised his hand to take it very naturally.

Looking at the little guy holding the coat with his hands up high, keeping the hem of the coat from touching the ground, Joe Pesci smiled and shook his head and said, "Roland, let my assistant hold the coat. What are you doing here as a hanger?"

"No, Uncle Joe, I'm standing here to see how you perform."

Roland's serious answer made the other party grin. While motioning to the assistant to be more excited, Joe Pesci also remembered his friend's entrustment, so he asked back: "Then what do you think of my acting?"

"Director Chris thinks your acting is very good, but I don't understand something."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

This time, before Joe Pesci could speak, Columbus, who was sitting in front of the monitor, turned around.

Not only that, Joe Pesci also raised his eyebrows, and nodded at Roland in response.

Although it was a question, the two were not malicious. Facing the suspicious eyes they cast, Roland didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "I want to know, Uncle Joe, why do you want to bend your body to act?"

"In the script reading just now, we talked about this episode, and the script also stated that you should be in a happy mood at the moment, because stealing is a way of making a living for you, and it is even more a way of life. way to vent."

"When you were performing, you did show joy, but your bowed body also reflected your nervousness."

"The emotion of tension is not mentioned in the script."

The crisp voice reached the ears of everyone present. The staff who were tidying up the scene twisted their necks and looked towards Roland. Surprised colors flickered in the pupils of various colors. They seemed to want to know, Is this kid in front of me questioning Joe Pesci and Chris Columbus?

If not, why did he emphasize that Joe Pesci's emotions are not in the script?

While the staff members were looking around, the leading actors beside Roland raised the corners of their mouths.

Before Chris Columbus could speak, Joe Pesci raised his hand and touched Roland's head.

Under his guidance, the three of them lined up side by side and got together in front of the monitor.

"Roland, your question is very interesting."

"You ask me why I hunched over?"

"Let me tell you, Director Chris yelled 'Excellent' to me because I was bending over."

"I do play a thief, but I'm not Frank Abagnale (Frank Abagnale Jr.)."

"In our movie, I'm just a dumb thief who will eventually be defeated by you."

"In the script, I, a stupid thief, have a series of bad habits such as arrogance, arrogance, and insolence."

"Then how can I reflect these things?"

"Vicious words?"

"If there is only this, it will definitely not be enough."

“I have to add more body language.”

"For example, like just now, addicted to children's toys."

"The focused expression and arched body are actually to create a sense of difference. I want to steal something, but I am worried that the police will come to the door. The kind of cautiousness like a thief can be reflected in the tight body. On the other hand, I want to steal something. , and unwilling to give up the toy in his hand, this kind of behavior of doing wrong things at the right time, can't it be reflected from the side, isn't my unprofessional?"

"In this case, if I shouted the slogan of victory in a confident tone in other clips, wouldn't the arrogant and arrogant character label required by John's screenwriter be interpreted?"

"I explain this way, do you understand?"

Having spoken so far, Joe Pesci blinked at Roland.

"Yeah, thank you, Uncle Joe." Roland, who understood, nodded and thanked him sincerely.

"Just understand." Columbus, who had been listening without saying a word, smiled and patted Roland on the shoulder. After seeing the OK gesture made by the assistant, he turned his head and said to Daniel Stern: "Daniel , the second shot is yours."

"Don't lose to Joe, if Roland has no questions later, then there must be something wrong with your acting!"

"I know, I know, how could I lose to him?"

Daniel Stern waved his hands with a smile, and immediately buckled the diving glasses hanging around his neck on his cheeks.

With his entry, Roland has no intention of retreating.

Such a situation also made Director Columbus wave to the staff, signaling them to get a chair for Roland.

After hearing Roland's question just now, he has already confirmed that this kid doesn't mean to mess around.

Because there are too many schools related to entertainment.

Not to mention the different majors offered by various universities, there are countless private training institutions.

but-

Which of the biggest actors you've ever seen really came out of school?

almost none.

The teachers in the school can only teach you the theoretical basis, and make your basic skills extremely solid, so that you can play some script roles normally, or change your accent and play guys from different regions, but if you want to go further , in addition to being talented and suddenly enlightened, a good guide is the key.

Like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, Depp shines in the light of gothic cult.

Another example is Leonardo and Scorsese. Under the old Martin's training, Xiao Li is becoming more and more like De Niro.

Or Harrison Ford and Spielberg, if Captain Solo made Ford famous, then in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the pure excavation of personal charm made him smoothly become the first batch of Uranus superstars.

But it's a pity, the real big names are all filming, who would take care of students when they have nothing to do?

And it is not realistic to ask each other for advice in the crew.

I finished acting, the director thinks it’s OK, and then I have to analyze it for you to help you clear up your doubts?

Who do you think you are!

Unless someone like Roland has greeted you, otherwise, who would talk to you?

After all, Joe Pesci is also a super-B star, with a salary of five million yuan. If Roland is not recommended by the same camp, why should he explain to you with a smile, in the performance of less than three seconds, What exactly is he trying to interpret?

Columbus is the same, if there is no phone call from Director Howard, director Robert’s casual remarks, and the indirect introducer Robin, you, an actor, want to sit with him and watch the monitor?
