Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 22 Stealing the teacher and stealing the matter (recommendation ticket requested)

"Oh, Roland, your performance is really surprising." When Roland finished with a stride and took back his beating look, Director Zemeckis, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, took it out of his pocket. Handkerchief, wiped his forehead.

Before he could continue to make comments, Michael J. Fox, who was holding a cigarette from the beginning to the end and had nowhere to put his mouth, knocked on the table with the cigarette butt, gasped, suppressed a smile, and asked curiously: "Roland, what are you talking about?" What kind of dance is this? Is it a derivative of Breaking? Or an adaptation of Popping? How come I've never seen it?"

   "Because there are no prescribed movements for this dance." Roland said with a smile, "It's impossible for me to dance exactly the same twice."

   "Are you improvising?"

  Hearing what Roland said, everyone present showed a look of sudden realization.

  If it is improvisation, then everything can be explained.

  Because, if they were asked to rate Roland, they... really had no way of doing it.

   There is no other reason, it's all due to Roland's performance, it's too...disharmonious.

  Singing ricochet, all three are disharmonious.

  In fact, when Roland was learning guitar, he had already discovered that the song "Come and get your love" was not suitable for him at all, because the smoky voice of the lead singer of the Red Bones band was not what he could have now.

  Smoky voice is a very high vocal technique. It is through the partial vibration of the vocal cords when making a sound, and then amplifies it through the resonance cavity, so that the originally perfect middle voice has a metallic texture.

   This kind of skill is usually mastered after the voice-changing period is over. Even if Roland wants to learn it, those who play in the band will not teach it.

  However, even if he couldn't learn it, Roland didn't care.

  Singing was originally an incidental thing, and the music played by the guitar was just his BGM. What he really wanted to show these big guys was the ghostly dance.

  Unfortunately, except for the opening moves and the subsequent dance steps, he studied them all by himself.

   Who told Xingjue not to finish a song?

  Even if he is Mao Renfeng, he can do things that Thrall can't do, but he can't bring something that doesn't exist.

  Of course, even if he did his own research, Roland didn't act as messily as dancing in the rain in "Top of the Forbidden".

  His requirements are not high, as long as the movements can make people laugh, can show the contrast between a big kid and old-fashioned appearance, and a sense of coquettishness from the inside out, that's enough!

  After all, the boring life of filming is already enough to wear one's temper, so what's the point of relaxing by singing seriously?

  As long as these directors and actors are happy to watch and are willing to talk to themselves, then why not be a comedian?

After the awkward dance, a brief conversation followed Roland's "crazy family fortune", Zemeckis and others also had a good impression of this very relaxed kid, so for the next half an hour, Roland also struck while the iron was hot , asked them some questions.

For example, in the scene filmed today, when Martin and Maggie in "Back to the Future 3" met, how Fox, who played Martin, kept his character from becoming facial when he stared in surprise; How Martin and the McFlyes are both embarrassed and calm at the same time when they have dinner; when Maggie reprimands Martin, why Zemeckis uses dollying to capture the reaction of Maggie and Martin, while at the same time , Why not give Martin a close-up, but let him appear in the form of a back view.

   "Staring in surprise but not facial makeup?"

   "This question is actually very simple."

Facing the relaxed and studious Roland, Fox took out a palm-sized notepad from his pocket, flipped through it casually in front of Roland, "This is actually a question of substituting yourself, as long as you don't hold the After all, everyone has their own characteristics. After you show a surprised expression in reality, will others think you are imitating other people? No."

   "As for your embarrassment and pretending to be calm, this is actually a problem."

   "Like you just bounced, would you be embarrassed?"

   "If you feel embarrassed but want to finish the performance, you should naturally pretend to be calm."

   "Find a suitable scene and replace it, and you will find that those seemingly unpredictable psychology exist in reality."

Fox just regarded Roland as a child who was highly curious about acting, and the explanation he gave did not contain any technical terms, but for Director Zemeckis, things were a bit different, because the way of pushing the track and moving the mirror Professional terms are not something a child can understand, unless he has been playing with the crew since he was a child.

   "You know how to move the mirror?" Zemeckis glanced at Roland with surprise.

  Although Roland was a little scared by the other party, he didn't care.

  Even if you didn’t ask today, you can continue to ask tomorrow.

   Zemeckis couldn't accept Roland's current way of asking questions, so he changed his words, wouldn't it be fine?

  However, Zemeckis just looked at Roland curiously, and didn't get too entangled in this issue.

  Seeing Roland nodding, he continued: "Since you know how to move the mirror, you should know the function of the mirror, right?"

"Have you seen "Raiders of the Lost Ark" filmed by Steven? Indiana Jones was unable to save his ex-girlfriend Mary Ann and thought she was dead. Zooming in, first showing the body language and environment, and then zooming in to the medium close-up, so that the audience can see the painful expression on his face."

  “As the camera gradually approaches the subject, the viewfinder narrows and the depth of field shortens, the actor can be isolated from the background, allowing the audience to empathize with his grief and create a very strong sense of substitution.”

   “I used the push track to capture Maggie’s reaction, the same purpose.”

   "And in that scene, Steven specifically puts a bottle next to Indiana Jones' hand."

   "You ask me why I put Martin into the camera from the back? Because Martin has the same function as a bottle."

  “Their existence can increase the level of the picture and create the illusion of spatial depth. Otherwise, the composition will only have two layers of foreground and background. The bottle and Martin also imply the existence of space outside the picture, making the scene frame open.”

   "Do you think Martin can show a positive face in this situation?"

  "Martin's existence makes the composition more complete, and Maggie is the protagonist in that shot."

   "If you still have questions, go back and watch Raiders of the Lost Ark."

  When Roland memorized their words and went home that night to review Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he found that the camera images he watched during the day were exactly the same as Spielberg's back then.

   Not only that, he also discovered that the performance techniques of Michael J. Fox and Harrison Ford are exactly the same.

  This kind of result that can not only answer questions, but also find examples for you to infer other cases from one instance, made Roland very satisfied.

  He feels that he has found a Wikipedia. Not only can people list the correct answers to the questions for you, but there are also a bunch of hyperlinks to the same type of questions below. You just need to click on it to make an intuitive analogy.

  Even if Roland can only watch the filming on New Year's Day, the knowledge points given by others are enough for Roland to digest for a while.

  Because of this, Roland followed the other party's words desperately in the following days.

   An awkward dance for a pile of knowledge?

   This deal is really a bargain!

   And after he spent more than 30 rounds and thoroughly grasped all the scenes on New Year's Day, he started acting like a demon again.

  He felt that since Zemeckis was so good at communicating, maybe he could answer some questions unrelated to "Back to the Future 3"?

  However, what Roland did not expect was—

When he pretended to ask a few doubts that had been resolved, and then tried to use other works as examples to let the other party teach him, the smiling Zemeckis suddenly changed the subject and asked Roland a question. "Roland, are you so interested in filming?"

   "Since that's the case, can I recommend you to go filming? You can learn from them in the crew."

   "I have a friend who has just become a director, and the crew is recruiting people. Based on your knowledge of movies and the dance just now, it's no problem for him to play the leading role."

   Thanks [qgaoqi821216] for rewarding 100 starting coins.
