"nervous?"

"A bit."

"It's a good thing."

"I guess so."

Rooney and Renly are having a conversation, but in a slightly different way, this is the first time Rooney has seen Renly look nervous before a performance.

For Renly, acting seems to have become a habit, a habit rooted in the blood, a habit that comes easily and easily, like breathing, is becoming an instinct and a part of daily life, wandering in the performance world, seeking The method of breaking through the barriers, and then breaking, transforming, and sublimating.

But now, Renly needs to rediscover the urge and enthusiasm for acting. The feeling of burnout and alienation is actually very painful, even more painful than imagined. It is like getting used to walking, but suddenly one day I have to learn from scratch. , that frustration is enough to directly destroy the idea of ​​getting back on your feet.

So, some people choose to give up, and many.

Renly wasn't sure if he was willing to give up, but at least he hoped he could take a break for a while, then recharge and catch up; the appearance of "Mind Hunter" broke this pattern, David Fincher and Rooney Mara's Persuade Renly to change plans and meet the challenge.

Nevertheless, the pain and suffering will not be reduced, on the contrary, it may become more severe due to the hasty battle.

Rooney has been by Renly's side since she entered the "Mind Hunter" crew. She could feel Renly gradually relax and slowly learn to enjoy the speculation and discussion in daily life; but practice is one thing, and actual combat is another Another thing, the lack of enthusiasm and lack of direction dazed up again.

Then came the tension.

Renly realized his cramps and couldn't help but chuckle. "You know, when was the last time I felt nervous and cramped because of a performance?"

Rooney looked at Renly, but did not speak, but quietly waited for the answer.

"Never." Renly gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

Rooney chuckled, "Well, in the whole of Hollywood, you are probably the only one who can be so arrogant but not able to talk like that in such a disgusting way."

Renly laughed himself, "But it's true."

In the past, the performance was so simple and so wonderful. Those nervous emotions all turned into anticipation and excitement. Even in the face of severe challenges, I was still able to rush forward at full speed. I really felt nervous, so nervous that I panicked. Today is the first Second-rate.

"Maybe, this is indeed a good thing." Renly's eyes fell on Rooney's eyes. "Starting from scratch, starting from scratch, nervousness also means anticipation."

Rooney could capture the shallow smile deep in Renly's eyes, with a bit of ridicule and lightness, reflected in her eyes, followed by a smile, "Don't consider the mood of the audience, discuss it in front of me" Start from scratch', so what should I do? Practice from the basics?"

Renly just raised his eyebrows slightly, not denying—in fact, affirming.

Rooney couldn't help biting her lower lip, widened her eyes to express a strong protest to Renly, and then she could see Renly shaking her head on purpose and saying, "It's very reasonable to say that if you live to learn. "

"Ha. Ha. Very correct." Rooney laughed dryly, and complained without laughing, and then Shi Shiran left a sentence, "Then I will keep you and continue to study hard", With a "female ghost drifting" movement, she swayed away, and the action was really hilarious.

There was a deep smile in Ren Li's eyes, and his nervousness relaxed a little, but then his attention returned, and he became nervous again——

He needs to be tense himself, only in this way can he fully enter the role, and the lack of concentration is also one of the problems at this stage. Therefore, tension actually helps him to maintain his attention - "Tension in a relaxed state" , the seemingly contradictory words are no joke.

At this time, the entire crew is preparing in an orderly manner, preparing to shoot the first scene of "Soul Hunter" and announcing the official start.

Similar to "Pacific War", the first season of "Mind Hunter" has a total of ten episodes, but it has multiple directors. David Fincher will shoot the first two episodes and the last two episodes, and the middle six episodes will be directed by three directors respectively. Assignments.

The reason for this is not complicated.

The dramas of public television are often long, with twenty-four episodes in one season, and five, ten, fifteen seasons may be filmed. The director cannot be tied to one project for a long time, and the heavy shooting tasks need to be allocated; and , TV dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, and the time is very tight, which also requires the cooperation of multiple directors.

Finally, there is another reason. The real core of a long drama is the screenwriter, and the screenwriter team is the most important part; while the director is more like a working man, who only needs to do simple work, and there is not much room for development. More changes and replacements may occur in the director's position.

Now limited series are gradually emerging, including cable TV stations and Netflix, and they have begun to follow British TV stations to shorten the length of the entire TV series. Maybe a TV series will only have two or three seasons, and then each season will only have six, eight or ten episodes. set, and then announce the end.

These episodes still maintain the mode of cooperation between multiple directors. In addition to the above reasons, the most important thing is that the quality requirements of the limited episodes are improved, and the episodes also need to have a cinematic quality - shot scheduling, picture composition, post-editing, etc. , put forward higher requirements for directors

.

This also means that the director is no longer a simple job, they also need to spend time and energy to conceive the entire series from the composition of the screen.

Then, a movie is only two hours long; a series may have six to eight hours, and you need to consider the second and third seasons. The energy consumption of the director is very amazing, and the division of labor is the right choice; of course, the unity of style has also become another problem.

In recent years, TV series directed by big-name directors have become popular. Martin Scorsese directed "Atlantic Empire", David Fincher directed "House of Cards", the Coen Brothers directed "Frozen", Quentin Tarantino directed Directing "CSI: Las Vegas"...that sort of thing.

But the number of episodes they directed is usually about one to two episodes, not many.

In turn, TV drama directors such as the Russo brothers and jj-Abrams have also won the opportunity to direct commercial blockbusters. As for the difference between a TV director and a film director, that's another story, and it's still a bone of contention in Hollywood to this day.

At this point, David Fincher was preparing to direct the first episode of Mind Hunter.

This is no stranger to David. Previously in "House of Cards", he collaborated with excellent film actors such as Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright; not to mention that David himself was shooting music. I came from a video tape - although TV series and movies are different artistic carriers, David's thinking is very clear and he knows exactly what he should do.

"Renly?"

David walked quickly towards Renly, with a questioning light in his eyes, trying to confirm Renly's status.

In normal times, David knew that he didn't need to worry about these actors at all, he just needed to concentrate on his directorial work; but now is an extraordinary time, even if Renly coped with this scene is no problem at all, David Still need to go up to confirm the status of Renly in person.

David understands the predicament of the trough. Many things do not depend on the will. The sensibility that cannot be controlled by reason can make an impact all the time. He had experienced it twice himself, and he hoped that Renly could persevere now.

Renly didn't answer, just let out a long breath, took a deep breath, and nodded lightly, indicating that he was ready.

But David did not turn to leave, but stood there, still watching Renly with concern—

The choice of the first scene was the result of David's communication with Renly.

In fact, in the process of filming a TV series, many scenes are relatively simple, because its capacity is larger than that of a movie. The rhythm of the TV series is filled with more content, including the in-depth description of the main line and branch lines, which also makes many scenes not so detailed and the performance difficulty is relatively low.

If he wants, David can choose a back or side face as the first scene, and then pass it smoothly, making a good start for the TV series.

However, after consultation with Renly and David, they chose a relatively lengthy and somewhat challenging scene as the unveiling of the entire TV series.

David still wanted to be able to confirm with Renly again that if Renly wasn't feeling well, they could always adjust.

Renly quickly caught the meaning in David's eyes, he glanced up at David, then lowered his head quickly, and nodded slightly, "...good. I'm fine. Everything is fine. Don't worry. Let's start now. I'm ready."

The soft tone is slightly restrained, and the clear articulation is slightly stiff. Even if the speed of speech is too fast, it can still accurately capture every syllable.

Without further ado, David knew that Renly was ready.

So, David didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and raised an "ok" gesture, indicating that the crew could operate. Then he walked quickly to the monitor. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see that he was a little nervous. Rooney, and Cameron and Hannah, who are full of anticipation and fix their eyes.

David nodded towards Rooney, which made Rooney let out a sigh of relief; then David stood behind the monitor and made a gesture of preparation for the record.

The screenwriter came to the camera with the board, and the entire classroom was silent. All the actors and staff couldn't help but hold their breath. The air condensed unconsciously, and all eyes fell on the screenwriter:

"'Mind Hunter', the first episode of the first season, the thirty-sixth scene, the first shooting, start shooting!"
