From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

A storm was brewing in Anson's mind.

The possibility Heath threw out effortlessly made the movie's rapid developments smoother, more complete, and more fulfilling, unleashing incredible energy and giving the characters and plot vivid life.

Rachel was completely stunned.

However, this approach was similar to the writing techniques of the two screenwriters, with no essential difference, still using impactful dramatic tension to cover up the detailed loopholes behind the plot—

As long as there's enough melodrama, the audience won't notice the narrative's flow and the arc's flaws.

Of course, is that not okay?

Yes! One hundred percent no problem.

Moreover, Tommy is a supporting character. Sacrificing the incompleteness of a supporting character's arc to make the protagonist Evan complete can already improve the quality of the film.

Heath was stunned, "Isn't that enough?"

Anson looked at Heath with earnest eyes, "Is this the best it can be? Are you sure?"

Heath stared blankly at Anson, the words tumbling in his throat for a moment, and then, rarely, he swallowed them back down, not making a sound.

Rachel: She always felt that Heath might punch Anson in the next second. Is this normal? Does she really not need to call for help?

Anson, however, remained calm and changed the subject.

"Maybe we can slightly change Tommy's state."

"Tommy, who has been living in hell, originally just wanted to teach Evan a lesson, to make Evan back down, just like when they were kids."

"But standing in front of Evan and Keller, he suddenly realized that Keller had always been protecting Evan. Before, Keller always protected him in front of their father, but now Keller is protecting Evan in front of him, which makes him feel intensely uneasy."

"And it was at this moment that a crazy idea emerged in his mind."

The words hung in the air—

Heath's thoughts returned to the track and started running at high speed again.

Moreover, not only Heath, but Rachel finally caught up with the rhythm of thinking.

In this way, in this small scene, the arcs of the three characters, Evan, Keller, and Tommy, become full and complete.

For Keller, protecting her brother is an instinct. Loving Evan and protecting Evan is the same. When her brother appears muddled, her subconscious action is not only to protect Evan but also to prevent Tommy from making mistakes. She doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.

However, things went against her wishes.

Tommy didn't understand her good intentions and instead took her protection as a signal of choosing Evan, so he resolutely took ruthless action, directly leading to the subsequent tragedy. She watched her beloved lose control and accidentally kill her brother.

In Keller's world, her despair and collapse are no less than anyone else's, which also becomes the reason why Evan tries to go back to the past again to change everything.

At the same time, for Evan and Tommy, both of them experience drastic changes in their psychological states in the short, chaotic time when the dramatic conflict is completely detonated, but now the emotions are no longer a thin, one-sided thing—

It's not just anger, it's not just impulse, but a rich and complete character arc.

In just one scene, the three characters will become complete and vivid.

Moreover, all three actors will win the opportunity to perform in a limited space.

In an instant, thoughts surged.

Rachel: The exclamation of "Wow" continued to explode in her mind, but she couldn't make a sound.

Rachel hadn't been able to completely withdraw from the chemical reaction of the first scene's fake-turned-real, and was immediately swept into a torrent of inspirational storm:

So actors can interpret the plot like this; so characters can be extended like this; so actors don't need to confront the director or revise the script to dig out a whole new world in a limited space; so the work of actors can be opened up like this; so there is a different world inside the world of performance.

Thoughts, surging.

It was so explosive and so澎湃 that even the exclamations became cheap, just stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Just a few seconds ago, Rachel still thought Anson and Heath were two lunatics; but now, she herself was swept into this crazy storm.

However, this feeling... is really not bad. Rachel began to be a little greedy, her thoughts scattered in the storm, pushing open the door to a whole new world.

Heath, on the other hand, was immersed in his thoughts, letting inspiration grow.

Until he slowly raised his head, a hint of appreciation revealed in his eyes—

Sure enough, he didn't misjudge Anson.

When the entire Hollywood said Anson was a vase, an idol, a symbol, Heath always held a different attitude. He believed Anson was an actor with ideas, although he had never explored it deeply.

Anson taking on "Spider-Man" was like Heath taking on "10 Things I Hate About You." Shooting idol movies doesn't mean actors don't have ideas.

So, when Anson invited Heath to cooperate, he agreed without hesitation.

Now it seems, his judgment was correct.

Heath was a little proud. He knew he had a good eye for people.

But on the surface, Heath didn't show it, but quietly watched Anson. He didn't comment or judge Anson's eloquent words just now, and spoke without warning.

"Is this the best it can be? Are you sure?"

Using his own methods to treat his own person, Heath had been brewing it all along.

However, Anson didn't panic, "No, I'm not sure, but I'm willing to hear the details."

After speaking, Anson also made an inviting gesture, with an excited expression, which put Heath in an awkward position.

"Cough cough."

Heath coughed twice to clear his throat.

"No need, I'm just confirming."

One sentence almost made Rachel fail to hold back her laughter, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her smile.

Heath was a little embarrassed.

No matter what happens in the future, the current Heath is just a fledgling big boy, sticking his neck out and explaining a few more sentences.

"The script space is limited, and it doesn't allow us to do more creation, otherwise it will be a mess. So, I think Anson's interpretation is pretty good."

After speaking, he nodded slightly, with a look of "I affirm it."

Rachel didn't refute, listening attentively with a well-behaved face, and then slightly raised her chin, revealing a serious look, as if she was listening to a master's lecture.

That expression successfully made Heath slightly embarrassed.

Aside, a smile appeared in Anson's eyes, and he spoke appropriately, relieving Heath's embarrassment.

"One step at a time."

"Shaping characters is the same as telling stories. It's impossible and unnecessary to do it all at once."

"It's just like what we just said."

"Evan is always in the habit of thinking that the problem lies elsewhere, so he goes back to the past again and again to solve the problem, hoping to find true perfect happiness."

"However, things went against his wishes."

"Every time Evan goes back, it will eventually lead to a tragic result. Not to mention happiness, things will only get worse and worse and more and more chaotic."

"Until the end, he suddenly realizes, what if he is the root of the error? What if there was no problem to solve from the beginning? What if the answer to a perfect life never existed?"
