.mianhuatang. Boom, boom.

The muffled thunder rolled behind the thick clouds, and the drizzling drizzle weaved a piece of white practice with smooth and delicate stitches under the light gray sky. The dome of Fes Planetarium should be the Fes Planetarium, because the lush bright green forest can be captured not far away, that is, Fairmont Park, the largest urban green space in the world.

The faint earthy smell mixed with the smell of water lingers on the fingertips, the tranquil and refreshing oxygen is slowly surging, the vastness and far-reaching of the world extend infinitely in the sight, and the whole city is quiet in the drizzle. , The simplicity and stability of all the sounds of silence made the mood settle down.

Philadelphia, a large city with a long history but gradually forgotten, still has the oldest, most colorful and most colorful history on the East Coast.

When people mention the east coast of the North American continent, they think of New York, Washington and Boston, and even Oakland and Miami in the south, but few people specifically mention Philadelphia, the former capital of the United States and the oldest and Historic city.

It is the fifth largest city in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; it is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago; it is also the seventh largest economic circle in the United States, and in 2015 At the beginning of the year, it was selected as a United Nations World Heritage City, becoming the first city in the United States to be listed as a World Heritage Site, once again proving the rich history and splendid culture that resides on this land.

However, the special geographical location of Philadelphia, with New York in the north and Washington in the south, makes the city gradually "forgotten" by people, and it seems to lack a sense of existence.

In the midst of the bustling and noisy East Coast, the quietness and low-keyness of Philadelphia rarely appear on the front page headlines, but are quietly waiting to be excavated and discovered like treasures.

In order to boost the city's economy and popularity, Pennsylvania has given preferential tax and fee policies, attracting many film crews to come here to shoot, such as "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", "Silence of the Lambs", "Avengers", "The Wall". Flower Boy", "The Fault in the Stars", "Fox Hunter", "Love and Elixir" and so on, not to mention "Rocky" and "Philadelphia Story" that are completely integrated with the soul of the city Classic work.

Last year, Sisyphus Pictures' independent work "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" completed filming in Philadelphia; this year, "Mind Hunter" also chose the same location.

Like Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and other famous movie shooting cities, Atlanta also has complete shooting base facilities. The city hall approved the establishment of a large shooting base. Thanks to Philadelphia's unique historical background, it is very suitable for shooting the 1960s. , retro scenes in the 1970s, the shooting base has a variety of studios, which can meet the strict requirements of the crew for those times.

The story of "Mind Hunter" took place in the 1970s. At the same time, in the story, Horton and Bill needed to travel between different cities in different states, on the one hand, they exchanged and taught with the local police, and on the other hand, they interviewed the criminals of the serial violent incidents. , which also makes Philadelphia the best choice.

Of course, there is also a small interlude here. After Sisyphus Films submitted the filming application to the Philadelphia City Hall, the official staff of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia personally received the relevant persons in charge of Sisyphus Films with enthusiasm. Invite them a lot to come to Philadelphia—

To put it simply, Philadelphia hopes to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Sisyphus Films, inviting Sisyphus Films to station the filming base in Philadelphia. In the future, more works will be filmed in Philadelphia, and they will provide more tax relief. And the convenience measures related to shooting.

In fact, this is to follow the action of Atlanta.

Under the official pull of Atlanta City Hall and Georgia, Disney, Universal Pictures and Netflix have signed long-term cooperation agreements with Atlanta, such as "Avengers 2", "Ant-Man", "Captain America 2", etc. The filming was completed in Atlanta, and eventually a brand effect was formed. The driving force for tourism and the tertiary industry was amazing. Of course, a large number of film industry-related talents have also poured in, and the number of jobs has also greatly increased. It also helped the rise of the city's economy.

In recent years, Philadelphia, whose economic situation has fluctuated significantly, also hopes to make full use of its existing historical and cultural resources to open up the situation.

And Sisyphus Pictures is obviously the one worthy of attention.

As for the collaboration between Philadelphia and Sisyphus Films, it's just an off-topic, at least, "Mindhunter" chose to complete filming in the city.

Compared with Los Angeles, Philadelphia's tranquility and peace are undoubtedly the biggest features. There is no hustle and bustle and no interference. It even has a sense of sight of a paradise, allowing the crew to fully concentrate on their daily work, and become more focused and more invisible. Calm, that's a good thing.

At least for Cameron Brighton and Hannah Gross.

They are actors and Renly fans at the same time.

When they are about to perform in front of their idols, the contradictory feelings of anticipation and fear make the performance pressure multiplied—

Not only do they need to face their idols, but they also need to face the "greatest" actor in the 21st century, at least "one of the greatest"; at the same time, both of them lack enough acting experience, resume The lackluster past works on the surface make them lack confidence.

They need to be alert and nervous

, and the work environment in Philadelphia couldn't be better.

Cameron was quietly admiring the rain in front of him. The drizzle fell from the sky like a dense curtain blocking his eyes. The cool and cold oxygen gradually calmed down the anxiety and burning in his mind. The world is just you and your own thoughts.

Cameron could sense that Hannah was sitting beside him, he leaned slightly towards Hannah's direction, "I can't forget the opening of 'Drunken Country Ballad', he just sat there quietly, penetrating Screen, stare at the audience, immerse yourself in your own world, and start singing."

"He's Renly Hall, and he's Levine Davis." Cameron maintained an unhurried tone, speaking to himself rather than sharing with Hannah, "I There needs to be moments like that. You know, 'he's Renly but also Holden' moments, on the one hand I look up to his talent, he's why I'm an actor, on the other hand I'm looking forward to the moments that show, I hope Being able to feel the excitement of working with him makes me a better actor."

Just like competitive sports.

A great opponent can make a great game, and in the same way, a great opponent can make a great performance. Cameron chose to become an actor, and his ultimate dream is to look forward to being able to play against Renly; now the dream has come true, Although the timing is a little too early, he is far from reaching the top level, but he still hopes that he can show himself in front of the "master" and usher in the moment of breaking into a butterfly.

"Phew, stress and motivation go hand in hand. I've smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, but my fingers are still shaking. Do you think this is because the tension doesn't go away, or is it a side effect of the high nicotine content?" Came Long said teasingly to himself, and couldn't help but smile.

"I guess it's both." The response of "Hannah" came from my ear, but it was not Hannah's voice, but a man's voice with a clear and soft tone.

Cameron's entire spine stiffened, and goosebumps quietly appeared.

"Many times, people reject tension, because tension may stiffen the muscles and the brain goes blank." "Hannah" still spoke slowly, not very fast, and always seemed to have a tone in her tone. Thinking, every word carries weight, "but tension also means focus and attention, and a burst of adrenaline always keeps people excited. We should relax and embrace tension."

Pause for a moment.

"Hannah" chuckled, "What a contradictory statement."

Cameron stared blankly at Renly who was sitting beside him, his nervousness stiffened, and there was only a tinnitus left in his ears. "...of course. We always need to face up to our negative emotions, and that's the right way to be an actor."

Having said that, Cameron seemed to remember something, and he laughed and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He thought for a while, trying to tell Renly what he was thinking, but after thinking about it seriously, he chose to shut his mouth again, the slightly surging emotions settled down, the tone and speed of speech calmed down again, and then turned his head slightly, using Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Renly, "I can't tell you everything, because I'm the one who has the initiative, isn't it?"

This is Edmond speaking.

In the series, Edmund holds the initiative firmly, and Holden is the one who is led by the nose, Edmund gradually opens up a whole new world to Holden; now, Cameron is trying to take over initiative.

Not in a hurry, not in a hurry, the tone of voice has a subtle sense of rhythm. Even under pressure, he still insists on his own pace and will not be affected or disturbed in the slightest. Edmund undoubtedly has the right to belong. His own distinctive character, while Cameron is entering the role.

Although it is still a little green, the content of the words and the expressions of the words are not completely matched, but at least they did not lose their rhythm during the conversation - and they are still facing Renly, which is already very rare, you can see that , Cameron's understanding of the role is very deep.

Renly didn't panic, he pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head to look at the drizzling rain in front of him, and said quietly, "I hope you can tell me everything, this is the purpose of my coming to you; But indeed, the key is in your hands."
