The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1990
[One thousand nine hundred and fifty-four can’t stop]
The laughter really couldn’t stop, Jimmy had to rub his stiff facial muscles, and then said to the camera helplessly and excitedly, “I know I know, we have missed the commercial time, the director is standing there. We’re jumping behind the camera, we’re going to start a commercial now, and when we get back, we’ll talk to Renly about what he’s doing now.”
Filming in the studio paused.
Jimmy turned to look at Renly, but his smile still didn’t fade away, “Sorry, Renly, I’m serious. According to the original plan, our show should have ended recording now, but today’s recording is really good. Okay, we haven’t been able to officially cut into the film yet, can we extend the recording a little bit if you want? I know I know, it’s not a pre-planned situation, and I’m very sorry, but the show The effect is so good, I really hope the audience can get a good feel for your humor.”
There was a lot of talk, but Jimmy never got any response, which made him a little nervous– It was difficult for Jimmy to tell whether the rumors about Renly were true or false. In the final analysis, it was necessary to meet face to face to find out.
Now, at the workplace where we met for the first time, such an accident had occurred, and Jimmy was not sure, and Renly’s silence made him even more anxious.
Just when Jimmy was about to start talking and joking, “Okay!” Renly nodded and gave a positive answer, because it was so neat that Jimmy was a little confused and couldn’t turn his head around, so he had to ask again A sentence, “Are you sure? If you don’t want to, we can stop now.”
“Really?” Renly asked enthusiastically, and then Jimmy was stunned, definitely not denying nor not , stuck in an awkward spot.
Immediately, Jimmy saw a smile in Renly’s eyes, and only then did he realize that he was being tricked. He looked at Renly in anger and dared not speak. , laughed directly, “So, is this revenge?” In response to the prank just now.
Ren Li raised his eyebrows slightly, “You underestimate me.”
Just this little joke?
It can’t be regarded as revenge at all, and it is far from real revenge.
Jimmy looked at Renly carefully, and finally understood Renly’s humorous rhythm. After thinking about it carefully, he laughed again and shook his head again and again, “Justin warned me, I have to be careful, look at it now. Come on, his warning is still not specific enough, you are more dangerous than I thought, and I was fooled.”
“This is your show, you are the captain, you can disembark at any time, no problem.” Renly’s eyes filled with a smile I mean, said jokingly.
Jimmy leaned back in his chair.
“It’s because I’m the captain that I can’t let go of the steering wheel, can I? I’m stuck here with you right now.”
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, earnestly Asked, “Do I need to leave now?” Is
n’t the answer obvious?
Jimmy spread his hands to express his helplessness, but before he had time to continue complaining, the on-site director was already reminding that the rest time was over and he could prepare to record again, so the topic was cut off here, even if it was only during the break. It was just a short chat, and the tacit understanding between the two is slowly completing the run-in.
“Audience friends, welcome back, today’s second guest is still Renly Hall.” Jimmy cut to the subject in the most concise way, then turned to look at Renly, “Before the commercial, we Speaking of the ‘Harry Potter’ series, we all know that this is a British movie, in which all the actors must speak in British accents. So far, you have never shown your British accent in a movie, have you? ”
Renly didn’t answer immediately, but raised his chin slightly and looked at Jimmy with interest.
Jimmy touched his cheek, “What’s wrong? Could it be that the makeup artist just added too much powder?” Now Jimmy also relaxed, and the burden of humor finally returned to normal.
In the midst of a chuckle, Renly smiled and said, “No, I just didn’t expect you to bring up this topic. I thought America’s evening talk show wouldn’t be of interest.”
Regarding acting accents, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom have their own accents, but American accents are relatively less complex – the difference is objective, but not so clear, plus the North American population is always on the rise The state of flow, unless it is a Western movie, or the actor’s accent is not the point during the performance.
In European films, whether it is the regional accent of the native language or the pronunciation of non-voweled English, the difference in detail is an essential part of the performance.
Therefore, in British talk shows, the host often mentions the British accent, especially when American actors go to the UK to promote, the frequency of appearances is ridiculously high.
In fact, even the British themselves are very, very fond of ranting about British accents, not to mention the pronunciation of Liverpool, Newcastle, the Scottish Highlands, etc. Even in London, the pronunciation of different regions is different, and the origin of each person is different. and class are all revealed.
Jimmy expressed his thoughts with a smile on his face, “Actually, I think this is a very interesting discovery, in your promotion period, all accents are still standard English; but in the film it is a different one. This kind of pronunciation further separates the characters from reality, and I can’t help but start to wonder, then, if you use the British accent to perform, what does it feel like?”
“I guess you didn’t watch the stage of ‘Les Miserables’. play.” Renly said meaningfully – in this play, Renly used the British accent to perform, although the original was from France, but after the adaptation, all the actors used the British accent uniformly.
However, it is not the standard aristocratic pronunciation, but the original pronunciation mixed with dragons and snakes, which fits the era and class.
Jimmy opened his mouth slightly and was about to make a quibble, but in the end he responded in a different way, “Are you ready to attack me now?”
Renly pursed his lips and chuckled, “Yes, currently I haven’t been in a single British movie yet, do you know what’s the funniest thing? In ‘Crazy’ I play an American boy and Felicity plays British girls who came to the US to study – from London, but the fact that Felicity was from Birmingham and I was from London, when we were adjusting our accents, it was really interesting.”
“So…the Birmingham and London accents are different?” Jimmy rolled his eyes and asked the question carefully, but it was like a game of minesweeper, lest he stepped on a mine.
“Ha, yes.” Renly nodded affirmatively. “Actually, even in London, East and West London accents are different.”
“Wow, can I understand that Manhattan and Brooklyn’s accent is different? And in New Jersey, that’s another world?” Jimmy caught on immediately.
Renly didn’t answer either, but just said, “Yo, man, are you sure it’s okay to say that?” This is a Brooklyn street accent. To be precise, the pronunciation hasn’t changed drastically, it’s more about rhythm and vocabulary. The difference, even more street, “I don’t think the New Jersey accent is that much different, at least, we don’t live in Canada.” It’s a New Jersey accent, and the difference is really noticeable in terms of pronunciation, “But, we don’t discriminate against anyone’s Going, you know, we’re just stating objective facts.” And finally the New York accent, from the tone of voice, to the choice of words, everything is different, the most important thing is the demeanor, having a kind of “I am the center of the world” “The pride is pretending to be casual.
The short sentence contained three different accents. The audience began to whistle, and Jimmy couldn’t stop laughing. This ability is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
There are indeed differences in accents between regions on the east coast of the North American continent, but that “difference” can only be considered paediatric compared to London.
Jimmy was laughing and had to control his expression, and continued, “What about the London accent? Wait, wait! I did a little research in advance, and even the London accent is different, like The Queen’s pronunciation now, I mean, in addition to the vocabulary, the pronunciation itself is different.”
“Jimmy, are you sure you want to talk about this on the talk show? I think the audience is starting to turn the stage now, which is not It’s wonderful, otherwise, let’s talk about ‘Interstellar’ and then come back to these things?” Renly ignored the excited Jimmy and responded in a different way.
The audience immediately booed.
Jimmy also spread his hands, “Please, when will we be able to invite a noble to explain the demonstration for us?”
Hereditary noble?
Just when everyone had forgotten about it, Jimmy actually threw it out again, and the effect was really good.
Renly looked at Jimmy with a sudden realization, “Have you been preparing to say this all the time?”
Jimmy nodded repeatedly in recognition, UU reading www.
sonicmtl.com is like a urchin who succeeded in mischief, “I’ve been looking for opportunities today, haha!” Renly
spread his hands, “I guess Benedict Cumberbatch has no schedule for the show yet. ”
Is Benedict also standard London accent?” Jimmy asked curiously. “I just know that Colin Firth is standard, after all, he won an Oscar, didn’t he?”
Benedict’s The situation is rather special. He grew up in West Sussex, studied at Harrow College in secondary school, and went to Manchester for university. His accent is more complicated, and the most important thing is that he was influenced by West Sussex.
However, he has been honing in the West End for many years, and his accent has gradually adjusted.
“Yes, he can be regarded as a London accent; but Colin Firth is from Hampshire. Of course, his London accent is also very good, and there is no flaw in ‘The King’s Speech’.” Renly gave affirmation ‘s answer.
Jimmy’s jaw was almost dislocated, “You mean, Colin Firth isn’t a standard London accent?” That expression of the whole world starting to collapse makes people laugh.
