From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

What?

Kristen and Anson exchanged a look, their eyes full of question marks. The direction of things was completely unexpected. Were there a few steps missing in the middle?

So, is this a good thing?

A difficult scene was successfully passed, and they should have high-fived to celebrate. Since the director said there was no problem, then there was no problem. The director's word is law; but from another perspective, is that really the case? Are we sure this is the best state?

Looking at Sam, Kristen and Anson were both a little lost in the wind.

Kristen didn't hide her surprise, "But, Director, didn't you say earlier that this scene wasn't good enough? That means there's still room for adjustment, right?"

Anson had no objection to clocking off work, but the feeling of being immersed in the performance just now was really good. It was the first time Anson had experienced what it meant to act intensely and what it meant to be immersed. If they had to reshoot, he wouldn't mind.

Moreover, just now was the first time this scene was filmed. Anson and Kristen's tacit understanding was not enough. Some eye contact points, some speaking rhythms, there was indeed room for adjustment, and they could do better.

So, Anson didn't stop Kristen.

Sam corrected, "No, I mean this scene isn't perfect, but sometimes, there's no need for perfection."

Actually, after finishing the filming, Sam himself hadn't sorted out his thoughts—

Was he going to shoot it again, or pass it in one go?

If he shot it again, where would he need to adjust? What needed to be continued?

Sam himself was also in a daze. The chemical reaction that Anson and Kristen unexpectedly burst out and the intricate emotional power of this scene pinned him to the ground, and a roaring sound lingered in his ears for a long time.

For a while, Sam was also a little confused.

So, when Anson asked Sam whether the detail of accidentally bumping into the chair leg should be retained, Sam was a little incoherent.

The fundamental reason was that he himself hadn't thought it through.

Until now.

His thoughts were completely sorted out, and the images in his mind became clear again. Sure enough, communication and collision were still needed. Through the feedback from Anson and Kristen, the entire process was completed through communication and discussion.

"Of course, this scene isn't perfect."

"If we were to nitpick, we could obviously spend half a day here."

Pfft.

Sam noticed the smiles on Anson and Kristen's faces. He looked over in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"

Anson looked at Kristen, Kristen looked at Anson, and finally Anson spoke, "If it's really that bad and it takes half a day to nitpick, then we really wouldn't mind shooting a second take."

Sam suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

"I mean, those imperfect regrets, putting them here actually has a special texture."

"It's like Peter accidentally bumping into the chair leg, it's like Mary Jane didn't expect herself to shed tears either. These moments are all real."

"Actually, it can be seen that something happened between you two. At the beginning, there was a feeling of awkwardness and unfamiliarity…"

Anson and Kristen exchanged a look. They didn't expect Sam to be so敏锐(mǐn ruì - perceptive), to actually notice it.

It wasn't that the two of them weren't familiar with each other in private, or that they lacked tacit understanding when filming; it was because last night, even though nothing had happened between Jack and Kristen, they hadn't even exchanged phone numbers, but today Jack came to visit the set, and it happened to be such a scene, so the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Of course, neither Anson nor Kristen revealed it. The two actors showed their professionalism and quickly got into character, but they didn't expect Sam to still capture the strangeness in the air.

"…But, this kind of atmosphere is correct, perfectly matching Peter and Mary Jane's situation, and also perfectly matching the environment of the hospital ward."

"Those flaws, those imperfections, inadvertently create a subtle atmosphere, an atmosphere that only belongs to Peter Parker and Mary Jane, unexpectedly becoming the soul of this scene, interpreting a different flavor in the blank space."

As he spoke, Sam couldn't help but fall into deep thought again, unable to help but carefully savor and reminisce—

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

This state was really long-lost for Sam.

When he first filmed "Evil Dead", Sam was someone who did whatever he wanted. He wasn't the kind of person who pursued planning, precision, or perfection. He played around and filmed "Evil Dead", and it became a legendary classic.

But after that, burdened and burdened, trying to surpass the monument of "Evil Dead", Sam began to pursue perfection, but he never had the impulse and joy of picking up the camera and filming the wild imagination in his mind.

From any point of view, "Evil Dead 2" had made great progress compared to its predecessor, but when people discussed classics, the first thing that came to mind was still the predecessor.

"It's not perfect, but I like it."

"Oh, God, I love my job."

Sam couldn't control himself for a moment and stood there muttering to himself.

After speaking, he looked up at Anson and Kristen. In their stunned gazes, he was completely unaware that his actions just now had been completely exposed, as if nothing had happened, and continued to say.

"Excellent work, Kristen."

"Excellent work, Anson."

Then, Sam turned around and prepared to leave, leaving Anson and Kristen looking at each other.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Sam turned back again. The three of them stared at each other, all holding their breath.

"Uh, there's no problem with this camera position just now. Next, we'll shoot some close-ups and close-ups. I hope you can continue the state and let the audience appreciate this wonderful scene on the big screen."

A pause.

"Yes, that's it."

After speaking, Sam turned around and left again.

Sure enough, filming a movie was a hard work. The actors completed a wonderful performance, but it wasn't enough, not nearly enough. They had to switch positions, angles, lenses, etc. to shoot a second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth time.

Kristen was about to speak, but the figure returned again. Sam made a 180-degree turn and circled back. Bathed in the stunned gazes of Anson and Kristen, Sam's movements couldn't help but stop.

"Anson, very excellent."

Hesitating for a moment, Sam began to look at the sky. This time, he was searching for memories, confirming that he hadn't missed anything, and then gave Anson a thumbs up.

Continuing to turn around, this time he finally didn't stop and strode back behind the monitor.

Anson and Kristen exchanged a look. In fact, they had many, many things to communicate, but after calming down, those things didn't seem so important anymore.

Smiling at each other, the filming continued.
