The Greatest Showman - Chapter 233

[232 Acting Skills Competition]

Jennifer Lawrence secretly looked at Renly, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner alone. She was a little cautious at first, and took a few careful glances, but then she noticed that Renly didn’t seem to notice her eyes at all. This made her start to be bold. ?

The filming of the crew exceeded expectations. They went to Rhode Island yesterday and completed all the scenes of Jacob and Anna’s vacation in just one day; the next two days, the crew will focus on shooting Anna After leaving, Jacob’s life in Los Angeles; then it will take another day or two to travel to Los Angeles International Airport to complete the rest of the filming, and then the crew will leave for London.

This also means that Jennifer doesn’t have much time to slow down. Today, she will be shooting her first scene, and she must get into shape immediately.

Before shooting, Jennifer wanted to communicate with Renly, not only for the next shooting, but also because of the shooting in the past few days, Renly’s excellent performance made Jennifer’s sense of competition more and more strong, she was curious about Lanly How did Li do it, and he is looking forward to the shooting of today’s rival scene.

She knew Renly’s habit. Before the filming of each scene, he would find a quiet corner to read the script carefully and repeatedly. If necessary, he would discuss some details of the script with the director and actors. Thirty or even forty-five minutes before filming begins, Renly is already fully committed to acting.

Jennifer just hesitated for a moment, then strode over and crouched down diagonally in front of Renly, “Renly.” She said tentatively to a pair of scripts? Renly

didn’t respond, his eyes still stayed on the script, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, frowning slightly, as if he was reading the script over and over again. Jennifer also appeared here. In the scene, she knew that there were only a few words between the two people, and this script was just a few lines of words.

Could it be that these lines of words will still bear fruit?

“Renly?” Jennifer raised her voice slightly, but Renly still didn’t respond, which made her brows move towards the middle. She didn’t like this feeling, and she made it clear that she was ignoring herself, and there was something in her chest. The gurgling anger was slowly boiling, and she suppressed her anger and shouted again, “Renly!” One syllable, one syllable, almost gnashing her teeth.

However, Renly still did not respond.

This is simply the most disgusting behavior in the world! Not only arrogant, but also arrogant… Jennifer felt that she was going to explode with anger, and the little admiration she had just had for Renly was about to disappear, and then she remembered the misunderstanding when the two first met, and she was angry. After calming down a bit, she hurriedly looked sideways to see that Renly wasn’t wearing earplugs this time.

“Grass!” The foul language had already poured into his mouth, and then Jennifer saw Renly stretch out her hand, groping in the air, looking like a blind man, which made Jennifer stunned. Then he saw the water glass at his feet. Could it be that Renly was looking for a water glass?

Looking at Renly’s groping, Jennifer thought for a while, then took the initiative to pick up the water glass and handed it to Renly’s hand.

Renly sensed the cup of water that came up to him, and then he reacted, suddenly raised his head, and met Jennifer’s curious eyes. Jennifer noticed Renly’s gaze and showed a smile, “Hey!”

Renly nodded and took his water glass, “Thank you.” She took the cigarette from her mouth with her left hand, and held the water glass with her right hand. , took two big sips, and then put down the water glass, picked up the cigarette again, lowered his head and continued to read the script in front of him.

Jennifer was stunned, obviously not expecting such a reaction from Renly. This time, instead of being angry, she became more curious and asked tentatively, “What are you thinking about?”

Due to the interruption just now, Renly did not continue to remain silent this time, “I’m thinking, what the hell is Jacob thinking at this time.” He put the script on his knee, “Look, the script reads here: Jacob is drawing furniture plans when Sam’s voice comes from behind, ‘Do you need me to iron your jeans?’ Come back and say goodbye to Anna, but in the next scene, he and Sam live together. There is no clue that Jacob and Anna have broken up, so, at this moment, what kind of emotion is Jacob’s heart, in that In the blank of the story, how did he and Anna choose to break up?” The

short sentence, however, attracted so many thoughts of Renly, which made Jennifer feel a little strange, “So, have you found the answer? What?” Now she finally knew why Renly was always reading the script and mulling over a sentence or paragraph.

“I don’t know.” Renly’s answer left Jennifer stunned, and then Renly explained, “I mean, Jacob doesn’t know either. His mind is messed up, and what he’s going through in London has put him in a rut. In a predicament, he was indeed lonely, sad, and even a little angry. In fact, Anna was the same. They chose to break up, which was the result of their agreement. So when Sam appeared, he did not refuse. ”

But deep down, he didn’t know what he was thinking, or what he wanted. He wasn’t sure if breaking up was the right choice, he wasn’t sure what he was with Sam, he wasn’t even sure he was still. I still love Anna deeply, but the relationship has already begun to change.”

“Hmm.” Jennifer thought deeply, and she sat down cross-legged, “Actually, Jacob doesn’t want to break up, but The London experience has changed his and Anna’s pace. Anna has moved forward, but Jacob is still in the same place. Facing Sam’s initiative, Jacob just needs to keep moving forward, just needs The company of one person, so he did not refuse.”

“Yes, I think Jacob’s nature is low self-esteem, he is always passive. The love with Anna is too beautiful and too romantic, it is almost a combination of all his best fantasies about love, He can’t give up, and he’s not willing to give up, even if he chooses to break up, he’s still struggling inside.”

Renly took the cigarette from his mouth and put it between his fingertips, his eyes gradually deepened, Jacob’s expression deepened. The character image gradually became clear, “But under the oppression of real life, he didn’t know what to do and couldn’t find a way out. So, he had to pass by, waiting for time to give an answer, just like this Like countless ordinary people in the world. The truth, everyone knows, but not everyone can do it.”

Even without Sam, Jacob is still alone in Los Angeles, and his relationship with Anna also accompanies With the change of time and space, he fell into a puzzle. Sam was never at the heart of the problem, Jacob and Anna themselves were.

Jennifer fell silent, and the image of Sam in her mind became clearer than ever before. She could capture the sadness and hesitation between Jacob’s brows, and also glimpse Jacob’s inadvertent childlike smile. I did everything I could, I just hope to see that smile again, protect the man in front of him, and prevent him from getting hurt again. But she never really entered Jacob’s heart.

It may be cruel, but it is also realistic.

“You said, what would happen if Jacob told Anna all the troubles in his heart?” Jennifer couldn’t help but ponder further along Renly’s line of thought.

Renly couldn’t help but think deeply. If in every relationship, everyone is willing to be open and honest, willing to communicate with each other, and willing to work together, then the results will not be the same. But, this is just an assumption, because everyone is so complicated, and sometimes telling the truth will solve the problem, and sometimes it won’t.

“I don’t think we’ll ever have a chance to know.” Renly raised his head and looked at Drake, who was setting up the camera by the staff.

In this moment, Renly was more certain than ever that Drake still loved his ex-wife.

But life is so cruel, everyone has their own confusion and pain, even if they can predict the future, they may not be able to change their fate, because there is no right or wrong in love. collision and fusion. More often, love cannot solve all problems.

“Renly, why are you always able to incorporate your own ideas into your performances? Why are you always able to control the rhythm of your performances?” Jennifer finally couldn’t hold back and raised the biggest question in her heart.

Renly was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “I don’t know either. For me, acting is still a skill that needs to be constantly learned and polished. I’m just getting started.” After a pause, Renly revealed that With a surprised expression, “I can control the rhythm of the performance? Wow, this is the best compliment I’ve ever heard. Thank you.”

Jennifer chuckled, nodded in return, and gave herself without hesitation. of praise. Soon, though, she will pass him.

“If you have to say there are any special skills, I think basic skills are one.” Renly recalled the years when he was still in school. There are no shortcuts to basic skills training. This is the case for every student. Abandon yourself, learn from the most basic emotions, practice from the simplest animal simulation, and polish your understanding of performance bit by bit.

“Then…” Renly raised the script in his hand, “Also, read the script well?”

Jennifer’s eyes stayed between Renly’s eyebrows, she knew that Renly was serious, this was not a joke. Although it sounds like a joke, basic skills and script, this is the truth that every actor knows, and it is not a special skill at all; but it is also the most important truth, but many actors are too eager for quick success, just like Hollywood, I can’t wait to transform into an acting master in one night, but turn a blind eye to this truth. 8
