From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

“OK！”

With a gesture, applause and cheers spontaneously erupted on the set.

Clap clap!

Hoo hoo!

From all directions, they swarmed in.

Without any prior communication, they involuntarily and wholeheartedly took action, then were surprised, exchanging glances, finding similar admiration and appreciation in their eyes, smiles creeping onto their lips, the applause growing louder and louder, all eyes converging on Anson.

It's getting more and more exaggerated!

“Hey, Anson, good job.”

“The god of acting has descended, Anson, the god of acting has descended!”

“Beautiful!”

“Anson, you are the most handsome Spider-Man in the world.”

“Hoo hoo hoo, Anson! Anson! Anson!”

One after another.

At first, it was genuine praise, but gradually it evolved into heckling, the exaggerated and melodramatic words clearly carrying teasing, and the scene was filled with laughter.

Anson was filled with confusion—

For a moment, he didn't understand what was happening.

Then, he slowly understood, but he didn't shy away awkwardly, but instead gracefully made a curtain call, bowing to express his gratitude.

Moreover, he bowed three hundred and sixty degrees, front, back, left, and right, like a master who had just finished a grand performance, responding in this manner.

Haha!

The scene became even more lively, the tense and repressed atmosphere of the shoot swept away, and inside and out, it was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.

Sam Raimi looked somewhat surprised.

He was also full of question marks, unable to understand the reaction on the set, lagging behind by a beat before realizing that everyone on the crew could feel the pressure. Although there weren't many takes, his seriousness and focus had imperceptibly affected the atmosphere of the crew, until Anson completed his performance.

It must be said that Anson is indeed a very charismatic actor. The crew hasn't been filming for long, but you can deeply feel his influence.

This is not easy.

After all, “Spider-Man” is a large-scale crew, not only reflected in the number of members, but also in the qualifications and experience of the staff.

These veterans have been rolling around in Hollywood for many years, seen countless actors, seen flattering newcomers and seen self-willed superstars. The things in the fame and fortune field are old news to them. It is not so easy to win their approval and liven up the atmosphere.

However, Anson did it—

This scene was indeed excellent, but was it really so excellent that it deserved applause?

Not necessarily.

It's more of a reflection of the harmonious working atmosphere of the crew.

However, from another perspective, completing the filming of a scene with high quality is not easy; but winning the love of the entire crew is even more difficult.

Involuntarily, a smile quietly crept onto the corner of his mouth. Although it was fleeting, Sam immediately returned to his usual working state, looking like he hadn't woken up; but his mood relaxed, even in the high-intensity, high-density work, he could find a moment to breathe, which is also a kind of fun.

Sam also waited for a moment, letting the laughter subside a little, before picking up the walkie-talkie to issue instructions.

“Switch to camera three, close-up on Anson's face.”

“The lights and lenses need to be readjusted.”

“Anson, your performance just now was excellent, but we need you to perform it again, just like that feeling. Trust your instincts.”

Calm and straightforward.

Sam is still that Sam, even if he likes it, even if he admires it, he doesn't easily express it, not only to the actors, but it is difficult for others to judge.

However, on the “Spider-Man” crew, Sam has been trying to make adjustments. This is also the first time he has directed such a large-scale project with such a large investment. Everything from personnel management to shooting planning is different. Therefore, people who are familiar with Sam can feel the difference between the lines—

At least, for Anson, Sam has never hidden his appreciation, consistently from the start of filming until now.

Across the street, Anson couldn't see Sam's expression, but he could feel the affirmation in his words, giving a thumbs up to indicate that he received the message.

Slightly adjusting his breathing, Anson needed to review his previous performance.

Cliff is right.

Acting is something that you can't not think about, but you can't think about too much.

In the preparation stage, actors need to deeply analyze the character and analyze the lines. Only by truly understanding the plot and understanding the character can they understand the meaning of those words appearing in this scene, and give the language color and edges.

Of course, this is not easy.

To be precise, it's not just “not easy”, but very difficult.

So, Cliff just told Anson that he should believe in himself, believe that his understanding is thorough enough, and also believe that he can complete the performance.

Maybe this is just a small step, but Anson still took this step firmly and steadily.

Huff.

Gently exhaling, what he needs to do now is to carefully savor the state and feeling just now, to feel, to experience, to absorb, and to remember.

In this way, he can slowly figure out his own way of acting.

Before him, there is an opportunity.

Anson needs to repeat his performance just now. Although there are no two identical leaves in the world, there will inevitably be some differences between each performance, but he can carefully ponder his state and try to find different ways of performing in the same frequency and the same state.

Facing him, Cliff returned and parked in the parking space next to the road again, rolled down the car window, “Hey, buddy, your performance just now was excellent.”

Looking at Cliff's smiling face, because of the upward curve of the corners of his mouth, wrinkles piled up, old and kind.

Anson also showed a smile, “Thank you for your guidance.”

Cliff shrugged slightly, “It seems that the old guy is not useless after all.”

Anson raised his chin, “Believe me, I understand this; Peter will soon understand this too.”

Cliff laughed heartily.

Filming then started again.

NG is still inevitable, Anson is still in the stage of exploration and exploration; but Anson has already figured out some tricks, especially his understanding of this scene is completely thorough, NG did not affect the overall situation.

Overall, the work went very smoothly, and the filming ended a little earlier than planned.

Today, the crew can finish work early.

Anson returned to the crew trailer, preparing to remove his makeup, change clothes, and then go home from work; however, a burst of trivial commotion came from the corner of the trailer, causing Anson to stop, and he strained his ears to listen carefully, making sure it wasn't his auditory hallucination.

Creak, creak creak.

The trivial sound came again, wait, this is… a mouse?
