Standing under the shower head in the bathroom, the warm hot water washes away the tired muscles, the long day is finally over, and it also means that a new day is about to begin.

"The Pacific War", this work is a brother chapter of "Band of Brothers", but the focus is slightly different.

"Band of Brothers" focuses on describing the cruelty of war, showing the revolutionary/revolutionary friendship between soldiers and the ups and downs of World War II through the experience of a company of soldiers. The shock of "Saving Private Ryan". The theme of "I am not a hero, I fight side by side with heroes" is even more exciting.

The "Pacific War" focuses on describing the impact of the war, and the series connects the entire series with three characters, Eugene-b-slegde and John-basilone. And Robert-Leckie (robert-leckie), these three are real-life characters, the whole series is based on Eugene, Robert's memoirs. The main line of the war revolves around three people, showing the influence of all aspects of their lives in an all-round way, aiming to show the profound impact of World War II on each individual, each family, and even the entire social state.

What Renly will play is Eugene, who bears the core soul and sublimation thoughts of the entire series.

In his last life, Renly had watched "War in the Pacific" and was deeply impressed by Eugene. This is a very interesting and complex character.

He was originally a helpless teenager, even unable to exercise vigorously because of a heart disease, but on the battlefield he gradually grew into a soldier with blood on his hands and even a little irritable. When he first stepped on the battlefield, he would vomit when he saw the corpse, until the bile was turned over, but then he watched his comrades die one by one. The struggle and difficulties of survival began to distort his beliefs. Human nature is one after another. Disappearing little by little - even seeing a crying baby, the first reaction is people/meat/bombs, not protecting the weak.

He had firmly believed that this war was the only way to protect his homeland from being invaded, but on the battlefield he realized that even the enemy, they were all living beings, and they also had their own Family and beliefs that you want to protect. Their battle is not to protect their homeland, but to kill each other, so how did all this happen? This made him question his beliefs - if God loves every single one of his people, why would he allow war? If God is willing to take the punishment for sin on behalf of everyone, then why did he have blood on his hands, against his will?

The annihilation of humanity and the collapse of faith turned Eugene's world upside down. He was lucky to survive, but he hated himself like this, because his comrades who were braver and stronger than him slept forever on the battlefield, but he was timid and cowardly survived, he didn't even know how he was Returning to the homeland, the dazedness, the pain, the struggle, was rooted in Eugene's blood.

He returned to his hometown, and he survived the war with all his limbs, but he didn't know how to go on with his life. Eugene, not Eugene anymore.

In the whole set of episodes, Eugene is the most complete, full, and rich character image. It can be said that he embodies all the ambitions of the "Pacific War". In just ten episodes, he shows his life. of magnificent. Even compared to "Band of Brothers", Eugene's character is so far ahead of its depth and height that it could be made into a movie.

Of course, this also means that the performance is difficult, far beyond imagination.

Joseph Mazzello, a child star, played Eugene in the previous life. He has a Bambi-like fragile temperament, which gives Eugene a special touch, the blankness, hesitation and despair in his eyes. It fits the style of the whole show very well. However, Joseph's performance is slightly monotonous, without layers or depth. He has not been able to show that kind of delicate changes, which invisibly weakens the core idea of ​​the show; especially in the second half, the kind of disintegration The magnificence of the game is so silent that it is ashes as death, and it is almost not shown at all, which is a major blow to the hard work of the main creative team.

After the "Pacific War" was broadcast, the professional reputation was still highly praised, but the audience's response was not as good as that of "Band of Brothers".

There are many reasons. The first is the high expectations of Zhuyu, and the audience's standard has been raised to a whole new level. It is inevitable that they will be compared in all aspects. The chemistry of the scenes is weakened; the third must also consider the problem of adapting the reference object, "Band of Brothers" is based on a novel, and "Pacific War" is based on two different memoirs, there is a coherence aspect. Certain influence, especially in the first half.

The last and most important point, Joseph failed to interpret enough depth, failed to allow Eugene to support the soul of the entire episode, which led to the abrupt end of the sublimation in the second half of the episode, lacking the summary of "Band of Brothers" baptism.

The audience is subjective, and the difference between the two works is enough to make them dissatisfied; the film critics are objective, giving sufficient affirmation from the aspects of the drama frame, scene quality and ideological core.

Now that the role of Eugene has been taken over by Renly, what will happen to his performance? Can he live up to expectations? Can he surpass Joseph's performance? Can he rely on the power of performance to present the ideas of the main creative team? Can he light up "Peace"

What about the soul of the whole work?

The overall quality of the work cannot be changed by an actor, not to mention Renly is a rookie actor without any acting experience, but the quality and strength of the performance is the actor's responsibility and full responsibility. This is not an easy task, strictly speaking, a difficult one.

Renly's blood was rushing fast, and the excitement and stimulation brought by adrenaline penetrated into his muscles, and he couldn't help but jump for joy.

Becoming an actor is his biggest dream and insistence since his rebirth, but everything before that is only on paper. Even after experiencing those fragmented performances in the West End and Off-Broadway, he doesn't know if he has enough. Talented to become an excellent actor, whether he has enough ability to constantly challenge his acting skills; not to mention the huge pressure from home, which is so heavy that he can't breathe.

Now, the chance has finally come! And it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Rather than being embarrassed by the enormity of the challenge, Renly was thrilled by the difficulty of the task. Although this is only his first official performance, he is already gearing up and eager to try.

He didn't come here for the purpose of reliving his life again, he didn't come here to look forward and backward, and he wanted to really let go of his hands and feet, and continue to sprint to the limit with reckless publicity, to see how much light his life could shine. Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, he wants to follow Tagore's footsteps to explore this journey.

Renly gradually calmed down after the excitement was surging. If he wants to complete the challenge, it is not enough to just talk about it on paper. It is precisely because of the seriousness of the challenge that he needs to pay more attention. Maybe, tomorrow he should take a trip to the New York Public Library and start with background material from World War II.

For most actors, acting is just acting, and it is enough to rely on instinct/ability and skill to present it. However, the ten years of movie watching experience in the last life, and the study experience in Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in this life, made Renly understand that performance is based on the role, and only by fully understanding the background knowledge and life experience , the kind of performance temperament radiated from the inside out will give the characters a vivid and real image.

It is like the British aristocrats who insist on learning elegant arts and reading paper books. The inner temperament is difficult to describe in words, but it is often the key to determining the essential difference.

I originally thought that I would be tossing and turning due to being too excited, but I didn't expect that after my head touched the pillow, I quickly fell asleep. Because Renly knew better than anyone that he had waited all his life for this day, that he was ready, and the only thing he needed to do now was to recharge his batteries and get ready to go.

The early morning in New York is always extraordinarily noisy. The roar of the car engines is deafening, and the noisy human voice fills the whole building everywhere. At the same time, it is accompanied by the groaning/groaning of the water pipes, which is full of vigor and vitality. Impatient.

He slept comfortably until 10:30. If it weren't for the fact that he still had plans for today, he would have liked to continue to stay in bed/sleep until the end of the day. Today, Renly plans to go to the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild to inquire about the upcoming itinerary of "War in the Pacific" and to find out the specific situation, and then go to the library to look up materials. Renly didn't know how TV drama crews and film crews worked, and how the actors' preparations were carried out. As a novice, he could only rely on his own understanding and prepare as much as possible before entering the crew.

After washing and cleaning, he opened the refrigerator and browsed up and down, but he didn't find much food. Then he remembered that he hadn't been to the supermarket for a while. Now it seems that Chris has forgotten about this. After rummaging for a while, I picked up an apple, stuffed it into my mouth, closed the refrigerator door and was about to leave.

"Wait." Chris opened the door, holding a T-shirt in his hand, and was scrambling to put on his shoes, "Wait, are you going to the Screen Actors Guild now? I'll be with you too."

Renly raised his eyebrows, showing a puzzled look, and Chris explained casually, "I'll go check the situation."

Renly didn't think much about it. It seemed that Chris had been bored at home for two months, and he probably couldn't wait any longer. He waved his hand and said neatly, "Keep up."

Chris put on his shoes, and strode up all the way to catch up, and then saw the apple in Renly's hand, "...Is this the apple I bought? I'll go get one too."

"This is the last one." Renly said calmly, taking a big bite on the rosy apple by the way, the crisp sound was particularly crisp.

Chris stood by, black lines all over his head.
