Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 559: On-set experiences

As many people believe, women's intuition is very accurate.

As soon as she arrived at the filming site, Charlize was sure that Charlotte must have another purpose——

With the altar of Black Mass as the center, the entire set was painted into a huge magic circle. The pattern of the magic circle was complex and mysterious. Just staring at it for a while made Charlize feel a little dizzy, as if he was staring into an abyss.

——Of course, she also considered that this was an adverse effect caused by the changes in her physical condition after pregnancy.

However, after seeing other staff members around, including actors Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Mark Strong, all looking a little trembling, Charlize knew that this was not her problem.

"Charlotte, this guy probably used a real magic circle during the filming of the movie!"

The pregnant woman murmured in her mind.

Charlotte has done this kind of thing more than once before——

When filming "Sleepy Hollow" before, he used real magic circles to make traps, and many of the magic circles used in "Hell Detective" were also real.

Therefore, as soon as he saw such a complicated and clear magic circle, Charlize immediately thought of this aspect.

She didn't have any objections to this.

After all, these magic circles are generally not dangerous when shooting.

However, Charlize still felt a little confused when she thought that the role she would play would be lying on the altar in the center of the circle.

"What is this magic circle used for?"

she asked Charlotte secretly.

Charlotte showed a hateful smile,

"Liar! No, a liar!?"

"What!?"

Charlotte did not continue to answer.

Soon, the filming of the movie began...

**********

"What a strange scene this is!"

Mark Strong was performing and commenting secretly in his mind.

Mark Strong feels lucky to be able to play the villain Count Blackwood in "Sherlock Holmes".

——After all, this is a film by the great commercial film director Charlotte Booth.

Just the fact that the box office of the films shot by the other party has always been only different from explosions, big bangs and super explosions has already made Mark Strong admire the other party.

What's more, the other party has produced many commercial films with good reputations, and even received an Oscar nomination for Best Director.

To be selected by the other party to participate in a film directed by the other party seemed to Mark to be a very good opportunity.

Today's scene was the first scene he shot after joining the team.

It should be said that the shooting process was actually quite smooth.

During the filming, director Charlotte Booth showed extremely accurate scheduling and management skills. The mistakes of the behind-the-scenes staff that usually occur from time to time when filming a movie did not occur here at all.

And there's nothing wrong with the actors' performances.

After Mr. Director gave detailed guidance, everyone seemed to be blessed with help. Even some of the supporting actors performed admirably.

The two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, seem to be competing against each other.

What's rare is that while they are competing against each other in a competitive manner, the two of them can also chat from time to time between takes.

Judging from that, the relationship between the two is not bad.

At least, there is quite a tacit understanding.

This surprised Mark Strong, who had been in the entertainment industry for several years and was used to actors competing with each other.

But that wasn't what surprised him the most - after all, the world is so big and full of wonders, and there are still some Hollywood crews with actors who have good relationships with each other - what really surprised Mark was the feeling he felt while acting.

——Like everyone else, after a few simple and clear instructions from the director, Mark Strong felt as if he had an enlightenment.

Before the performance started, the scene during the performance always seemed to flash before his eyes, the feeling of how to perform,

Found it right away.

Coupled with the fact that the shooting scene was very carefully arranged, especially the arrangement of the sacrificial array that looked complicated and somewhat evil, Mark gradually felt that he seemed to have really integrated into the character and became the one who continuously used evil sacrificial rituals to kill people. Earl Blackwood, the man who killed many women——

Now, he was standing in front of the altar presiding over this dark Messianic ceremony.

He recited mysterious incantations in a low and evil voice, while his followers stood around the circle, echoing him while showing their anticipation of bloodshed.

On the altar in front of him, a blond woman in a white gauze skirt was lying there in a daze.

As he recited the incantation, the woman's body twisted strangely on the altar. It felt as if the person controlling her body was a ghost attached to her body.

Even for a moment, Mark Strong saw a ghost in red, struggling and roaring on the woman's body.

This made him shiver uncontrollably, and he even felt fear in his heart.

Fortunately, with the sound of "CUT", the filming paused.

Mark blinked and realized that the female ghost in red he saw before was probably just his subconscious hallucination.

"Am I immersed in the character?"

Mark Strong, who came back to his senses, was a little surprised.

As an actor of British origin, he is a typical expressionist like most British actors who have been trained in stage dramas for a long time.

To put it simply, when he performs, he clearly knows that he is performing. But he will use his lines, tone, gestures, body posture, steps, etc. to make the audience feel that he is so consistent with the character, and thus believe that he is the character he plays.

——This is the art of performance.

To do this, you must go through a lot of training and stage performance practice, which requires time to accumulate.

This is also the reason why British actors are mostly expressionistic——

London's large and small theaters, as well as the traditional Shakespeare repertoire, make all British actors unconsciously influenced by the stage drama style;

After all, London is not Los Angeles. Generally speaking, British actors can only find opportunities to enter Hollywood after they have made a name for themselves in China. They cannot be like American actors who can rise to the top in one fell swoop if they have the opportunity.

——This makes them have to spend a longer time to accumulate the acting skills required for expressionism.

Thus, the multi-expressionist pattern of British actors took shape.

And many people in the British entertainment industry are also proud of it.

Unlike Oscar, who is obsessed with methodism, the British appreciate expressionist style more.

Mark Strong's acting teacher even told him that Methodism is simply a shortcut chosen by Americans because of the lack of professional training and insufficient accumulation of actors.

From the perspective of orthodox expressionists, that is simply evil!

And the experiential sect, which was born out of this, is even more of an evil path among evil ways! !

Mark once believed this.

However, today he suddenly felt that the heresies of the Methodist and Experientialists were not so abominable...
