"Just now you performed very well. I think you can try something different during the performance. After you show it, let's see which one is suitable. What do you think?" Edward Burns stood next to the camera. Speaking seriously.

Cameron Diaz’s gaze stayed on the monitor, listening to Edward’s words, she lightly tapped her chin, and said, “Okay, no problem, I’ll study and watch the next scene by myself. watch."

Edward snapped his fingers and said, "It's done! Then you go to rest first." Then before Cameron answered, he turned to the other crew members and shouted, "Preparation for the next scene, Jennifer prepares."

Cameron finished watching the replay of the scene on the monitor, and then went back to rest. In my mind, I was recalling the feeling of the scene just now. This method was learned from Hugo when Cameron was in the crew of "Death Row".

Now, Cameron is filming "Love is the only" in New York. The filming atmosphere of this romantic comedy film is relaxed, and the roles are relatively simple, but it still helps a lot to polish the acting skills. Cameron is working hard to learn acting-a skill that is still very foreign to her.

Originally, Cameron thought it was embarrassing to stand in front of a monitor and look at his performance. Instead, he would let him keep paying attention to the camera, and then pay attention to the small details of his expression, and the result would mess up the performance, so Came Long has always refused to watch the monitor.

But this is not the case with Hugo in the "Death Row" crew. After each scene, Hugo will watch the monitor. If the director is not satisfied, Hugo will exchange ideas about the whole scene with the director. Later, when Cameron asked Hugo, Hugo said that he learned this habit from Al Pacino. In fact, he was not used to it at the beginning. He looked at himself on the monitor like a stranger-the most familiar. The stranger of, how awkward to look at it, turned out to be completely embarrassed when returning to the camera to perform, and even the same hands and feet.

However, Hugo later discovered that when watching the monitor, it is not himself but the character that needs to be seen. In other words, what the monitor is watching is not to buckle the details of the performance, but to see that the role is very consistent with the whole plot. Studying performance is a very personal act, especially in many one-man shows, but the film is a whole. If the characters exist out of the plot, it will be a disaster, not to mention that many rival plays also require the cooperation of actors. Therefore, when Hugo watches the monitor, he is watching his performance, the fit of his character and the whole story.

Now, Cameron is also trying to learn this, but she is still not used to it, and it is always easy to get distracted when watching the monitor.

Sitting on the side and resting, Cameron was watching Jennifer Aniston and Edward Burns playing rival roles. Edward is not only the director of the movie, but also the leading actor. From thinking about her performance to observing Jennifer's performance, she started to lose her mind, so that she was completely in a daze without noticing it.

Time passes unconsciously, and the filming work in the crew is not always rich and busy. For most actors, the long wait is the main theme.

To cite the simplest example, the filming of a movie has a schedule, and the actors and directors do not have enough skills to shoot at the same time. Cameron has only three scenes today, but these three scenes are difficult to be shot together in an assembly line. More often, it is to shoot one scene, and then take a break before shooting the next scene.

The interval between each scene is a rest time, and this interval is not fixed. It is possible that the three scenes were filmed in less than two hours before and after, then Cameron’s work is over today, and he can leave the crew early; it is also possible that the three scenes will be arranged in the morning, noon and evening, although the Hollywood actors The union stipulates that actors’ daily working hours cannot exceed eight hours, but if the three scenes are arranged separately, then Cameron will consume eight hours a day on the crew-which means that the waiting time is likely to exceed Six hours.

This is also the reason why the crew relationship is very important. For example, for big names like Hugo, if necessary, the crew can arrange all Hugo's scenes together, spinning them for four or five hours, ending the Hugo scenes, and then letting Hugo go free; and some second-tier and third-tier roles. Actors have no choice. They can only passively complete their work according to the arrangements of the crew. It is not uncommon to spend a whole day in the crew just to shoot a scene.

At this time, the rivalry between Jennifer and Edward was relatively long and difficult to shoot. Cameron was waiting by the side, and more than half an hour passed without knowing it. Cameron suddenly felt bored and she had to stand. I got up and stretched out, then walked aside and chatted with the crew for a while, and ate some snacks, but it was still not her turn to work.

Bored, Cameron simply sat in a quieter corner and looked up at the sky above his head. The sky in New York is always covered with a layer of gray, and the rustle of autumn makes the sky above the city divided by high-rise buildings reveal the blue, but it is gray-blue and gray-blue, and it is always not translucent enough. The bright sunshine is sparsely falling down, as if all energy has been consumed after a long journey from the sky to the ground, and it is weakly projected on the ground, but it can't bring a trace of warmth.

This made Cameron miss the sunshine in Los Angeles. She thought of herself lying on the beach, bathing in the bright sunshine of the West Coast, playing golf, drinking a cup of coffee, and shopping in this autumnal weather. The comfort of life is New York. Busy and noisy are incomparable.

The warm sun almost made people drowsy, "Cameron..." Suddenly came a shout from a distance, awakening Cameron, she realized that she almost fell asleep, New York The coldness swarmed in, causing Cameron to shiver involuntarily. She quickly stood up and shouted, "I'm here."

Cameron walked quickly in the direction of the staff. She thought it was her turn, but she didn't want the staff to stop her from walking towards the shooting location. "Cameron, someone outside said yes. Come visit your class, your assistant just went out, go and see for yourself."

Cameron couldn't help but was stunned, squad? Who will come to visit the class at this time? Is it his former model colleague? After all, New York Fashion Week has just ended. The last time she talked with that group of models on the phone, she also talked about meeting and gathering. "Okay, I'll go over now." Cameron said as he walked towards the entrance of the crew.

Passing through the shadows of a gloomy building and shuttled in occasional sunlight, Cameron couldn't help but embraced him, rubbing up and down, trying to dispel the chill from his skin, but thinking and waiting in his mind. The question of what to eat for dinner, and suddenly thought that if they were models, maybe they could go to a big meal and a small wine together after finishing work. Thinking of this, Cameron's footsteps couldn't help but feel lighter.

Not far away is the entrance of the "Love is the only" crew. Since the crew did not receive media attention, the entrance seemed very deserted. It just blocked a vehicle fence and arranged a security guard to sit at the door. Beyond this, there is no protection.

It was already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun was hanging in the west. The steel forest in New York cut the sunlight into countless pieces. The gap between the building and the building made the strong wind blow over and become more violent, and even the Hudson River came from the soles of your feet. The coldness of the water vapor. The crew was filming at this time, all the noise was calmed down, and there was only silence behind them, and the roar of car engines was faintly heard from the street not far away, making it quieter here, and the coldness seemed to come from Cameron can't help but speed up.

Seeing a figure standing in front of the vehicle fence, when Cameron wanted to raise his hand to greet him, his whole person's movements were so stiff in place. It was not the model partners she imagined, but a man.

The man wore a smoky gray long-sleeved sweater with dark blue washed jeans, a pair of dark brown turn-up lace-up boots on his feet, and a black plum long coat on his hands. He just stood on the spot casually like that, only seeing one side, he was talking happily with the security guard guarding the gate, and the smile on his face was blooming proudly in the cold air.

A ray of sunlight penetrates the building and casts it down on the entire entrance. The cold light isolates the surrounding shadows, and even the dust flying freely in the sunlight can be clearly seen, which makes people think that it is only one step. Distance is two worlds.

The man seemed to have noticed Cameron’s arrival and turned his head, the smile on his face burst into full bloom in an instant, and the surrounding sunlight became bright in an instant, that thin and cold. The rays of light seemed to become warm, the cold of late autumn turned into withered leaves in the sky at this moment, swirling and slowly falling in the air, and the sunlight that reached the ground from thousands of miles released endless heat in which smile, Let the breeze become warm.

The man raised his hand and waved, with a brilliant laugh, and waved to Cameron. The cold-toned round neck sweater reflected a faint light in the sun, and it looked so warm and soft. At this moment, the sun in front of me is like the whole world.

Cameron was stunned for a long time and she couldn't help her. She couldn't believe her eyes. The things she had imagined in her dream happened just now, until the man shouted in a warm voice. Said, "Cameron!" This was like the spell that had lifted the curse, making Cameron run fast. She just wanted to run faster and faster.

Then Cameron rushed into the man's arms, and the man couldn't help being taken three steps back by the strong momentum, but he still chuckled slightly. Cameron hugged tightly, buried his head in the man's sweater, and breathed deeply. This familiar taste made her feel extremely happy.
