Renly is back.

In fact, this description is not very accurate, because Renly has never left, so naturally he can't come back; at the same time, Renly's state has not recovered 100%. It still takes time to adjust, and there is no real return now.

But... the way of expression is not important, what really matters is that Renly has really returned to the right track, that Renly, who was crazy for the performance, has returned to the road of an actor again. After more than half a year of ups and downs, Lanly After all, Li still sticks to the purest and simplest self.

The final highlight of the last episode of "Mind Hunter" has been filmed, but the filming of the episode is still not over, and the daily work is proceeding step by step.

The rest of the crew was relatively less difficult to shoot, and the atmosphere on the set was much more relaxed and comfortable. However, Renly spent more and more time reading the script.

Usually, when it comes to playing, Renly is also very involved, and the iconic pranks are repeated again; but in addition to relaxing, the time that belongs to the performance is more and more devoted. For others, it is work, but for Renly, it is work. , but enjoy, he is completely immersed in the world of the script.

Cameron is always around Renly, just like a little tail, the whole crew calls him "Renly's little follower", but Cameron doesn't care at all, instead he is more and more amused by it. , whenever the opportunity arose, he would go forward to chat with Renly.

In fact, Cameron knows that he can only be a "featured actor", because his body shape and height are too conspicuous, and the difficulty of losing weight is beyond imagination, which also means that his prospects in Hollywood are relatively narrow and he is willing to look for his role All are relatively fixed, and it is difficult to open a vast sky.

But Cameron doesn't mind, he's happy to be a little-known actor who just concentrates on his role; of course, making a living is not an easy task, but the "Mind Hunter" pay Enough for him to live in Los Angeles for two to three years - a frugal and low-key life, that's enough, Cameron can fully seek out the role that suits him wholeheartedly and immerse himself in it.

Just like Don Quixote.

"...Ha, that's a question with no correct answer."

When Cameron asked what Renly was reading when he read the script over and over again, Renly couldn't help laughing.

After pondering for a moment, Renly replied seriously, "Mainly two points, this is my personal habit, first, I try to read emotions, and in the world of performance, the life and stories that the characters have are often what we have. The untouchables, like Holden, I can't talk to a serial killer, and you can't get blood on your hands; but the emotions are shared, and I want to be able to read the emotions of the characters."

Cameron chewed carefully.

"A lot of times, our emotions are not single, joy or sadness, we are not children, as the Pixar animation 'Inside Out' said, it is mixed, this is growing up, and the real real world, our emotions It’s more complicated, and it’s not easy to generalize.”

Renly continued, causing Cameron to lift his jaw slightly, "You mean, like Holden, he's terrified of a potential death threat, but at the same time he can't resist the kind of slap in the face of Edmund. yearning, and then he went a step further and began to fear the yearning in his heart."

This is the level of emotion.

Renly's performances are always able to present the character's psychology in a delicate and rich manner, penetrating layer by layer, allowing the audience to savor different feelings - obviously, reading the script, reading the lines, this is the foundation, or Saying, starting point, and then constructing the whole world.

"Correct." Renly smiled, "Secondly, I'm trying to read stories, which actually have a lot of similarities with Horton, and he's also trying to read Edmund and other serial killers' stories, each of us Behaviors, attitudes, emotions, all can be traced back to the source, and those experiences will leave traces on us more or less, and for actors, they need to understand these traces.”

"Psychology?" Cameron immediately took notes under his notebook.

This made Renly laugh, "This is not an acting class." But Cameron still carefully marked "psychology" on the notebook, "If you want, you can indeed read some psychology. Books, but it's not necessary, after all, there's a difference between an actor and Horton."

"For actors, the most important thing is to speculate and understand. We need to understand the role, which is the core issue. As for whether it is through psychology, through personal experience, or on-the-spot investigation, it is up to the actor to decide. As he spoke, Renly could see that Cameron had memorized key words such as "personal experience" and "field investigation" again, and a smile could not help flowing into his eyes, "Everyone has their own way, The most important thing for an actor is to find out his own way of performing according to his own situation, and other opinions are just for reference.”

"...My own way... Everything else is just a reference..."

Cameron still recorded these key words in neat handwriting. Renly couldn't help but chuckle with his meticulous appearance. Cameron pursed the corners of his mouth shyly, "I...I just..."

I may never find such an opportunity in the future. Listening to the acting director in front of Renly is not so much a recording of performance skills as a record of every word of Renly.

Cameron tried to explain something, but found that the words were even more inarticulate.

"It seems that someone is in a good mood today."

There was a voice in front of him, and he successfully cleared Cameron. When he raised his head, he could see the chubby figure of Andy Rogers staggering over.

Renly frowned slightly and looked at Andy with critical eyes, "Recently, people have appeared a little more often."

Andy was very calm, and he still placed his hands on the beer belly and patted lightly, "There is no way, the manager's responsibility is on his side, and he has to work harder."

Renly didn't respond, but after looking at it for a while, he asked curiously, "Have you gained weight again?"

Andy didn't speak, just stared at Renly silently, protesting with his own eyes.

Cameron, who was sitting next to him, could feel the surging oppression, and then stood up slightly restrained, "I... I need to prepare for the next scene, Renly, I won't disturb you. Rest." After speaking, Cameron bowed his head and walked away quickly, his cumbersome body walking fast.

"Look, you scared the young man," Renly said solemnly.

Andy decided to ignore it directly, "I heard that the filming has been progressing well recently."

Renly raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, because he knew that this was obviously not the main purpose of Andy's visit to the crew again.

Andy knew that he had been visiting the studio too frequently recently. Obviously, this was not the rhythm that Renly liked. He still preferred to have a quiet and independent environment, but Andy still went his own way, because he could not rest assured. Worried about Renly's condition.

Andy sat down beside Renly to himself, "How are you, are you ready now?"

Renly laughed dumbly, "Mr. Andy Rogers, are you forcing me to re-employ immediately?"

Andy patted his belly complacently, without denying - he was indeed putting pressure on Renly to get back on track as soon as possible, not because Renly needed work or career planning, Just purely expecting Renly to find passion.

He still likes that Renly who is desperate for performance. Even in the world of performance, Renly may be very clumsy or very troublesome, but that kind of Renly is fresh and agile, that kind of Renly is the True and beautiful, he really missed that picky Renly.

Andy understands that Renly needs some pressure - the pressure from the work, there can be a few more excellent works as attractive as "La La Land", and the continuous temptation / temptation of Renly, once it fails, twice, If it doesn't work, just three, four, five times, step by step to lure/seduce Renly.

One day, Renly will be back, Andy firmly believed.

So, Andy reappears, throwing temptation at Renly again.

Looking at Andy with the old god, the smile in Renly's eyes also flickered slightly, "Don't worry for now. I still hope to slow down."

Although Renly's current enthusiasm has been revived, he is also looking forward to joining other works and devoting himself to the world of performance again; but he does not want to be too hasty. After all, the mentality now is different from when he entered the industry. The actor's career is still very long, everything is possible, he should expect more challenges and more possibilities, slow down and maybe be able to see different scenery.

Andy nodded lightly, "No hurry, of course not in a hurry. We can read the script first, and then choose slowly, even if we make a decision, it may not necessarily start shooting immediately, you think 'Jurassic World' and 'Rogue One' No', after the decision was made, it took such a long wait before it was put into production."

"So, did you recommend another 'Rogue One'?" Renly asked rhetorically, choking Andy immediately.

Andy rolled his eyes and complained, "Why, I recommended 'Rogue One', and you really nodded and agreed?" Obviously Renly is not so easy to manipulate, "I mean, you are ready now , have you read the script again?"

Renly let out a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no rush. I need to finish the work I'm doing first, then take some time off, and then slowly start reading the script. Maybe I should go back again. Look at the West End, there are a lot of experimental scripts, which are interesting and worth the challenge."

It's not for the sake of fame or for profit, and now Renly is really able to pick any work, literally anything, just like Meryl Streep.

Andy didn't try to persuade him any more, he just turned his head and looked at Renly brightly, "What about 'Manchester by the Sea'?"
