Chapter 3: Awakening Of God-Level Acting Skills! Is This A Fusion Role?
Los Santos has simple folk customs.
Sony Pictures, studio entrance.
"Good morning, Xu."
"Good morning, Emma. Are you still dizzy?"
"Well... I have a terrible headache."
Emma Stone smiled bitterly and rubbed her head, feeling hungover was really uncomfortable.
"I knew who made you drink so much yesterday...Here, drink some of this and it will make you feel better."
Xu Can took out a cup of honey lemon tea from his handbag. He had already prepared it.
"Wow! Thank you, Xu! You_are_so_sweet! It's so heartwarming."
Emma Stone was really warmed by Xu Can. She didn't expect that he would care about her so much.
"We are friends, let's go in, it's almost time."
Xu Can also didn't expect that he would drink with Emma Stone until midnight last night.
The young man and woman hit it off immediately and talked a lot while drinking.
Emma Stone complained about the lack of hope for her acting career, and Xu Can also told a lot of anecdotes about Beijing Film Academy.
It turned out that Sister Shitou drank too much, so Xu Can took a taxi to take her back, carried her to the bed and settled her down.
By the time I got back to my apartment, it was already late at night.
Since today is the official launch day of "Spider-Man",
Xu Can got up very early and prepared sobering tea for Emma Stone.
He didn't actually sleep for long,
I was thinking about a question last night.
What is that state of sudden awakening when you read the script?
"Is it Goldfinger?"
Xu Can can clearly feel that when he concentrates, he seems to be one with the character!
He is Spider-Man!
After walking out of the set, that mysterious state disappeared completely.
Shooting officially started today, just in time to test whether the "character possession" state can reappear.
If I can really integrate into the character during filming in the future...
Xu Can has already begun to think about it.
…
"Scene 1, Group 1, Shot 1, Time 1..."
"Action!"
Mark Webb, who was sitting in the director's chair, gave an order:
The keeper skillfully dropped the clapperboard,
"Spider-Man" that has been brewing for many years has finally begun official filming!
Peter Parker, played by Xu Can, skated along the campus corridors on a skateboard. His movements were so handsome that the actresses on the side had their eyes flickering and their eyes almost glued to him.
Leaving the teaching building and coming to the campus, Peter Parker saw Gwen Stacy at first sight!
Gwen, played by Emma Stone, sits quietly on campus;
A pair of over-the-knee boots accentuate her slender legs.
She is so dazzling! So much so that Peter couldn't help but take out his camera and freeze the moment.
At the same time, a luxurious Rolls-Royce slowly drove in at the school gate.
Harry Osborn, played by James Franco, appears.
"Peter!"
"Hey Harry, you're here."
"Harry, you forgot your backpack."
The "Old Green Goblin" played by veteran actor Willem Dafoe then walked into the camera.
"Peter, this is my father..."
"Mr. Osborne, it's an honor to meet you."
"Peter." Osborne smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Peter.
"I have known you for a long time, and I have often heard Harry mention you. It is said that you are quite knowledgeable in science."
"I read your research report on nanotechnology and genetic technology, and it was an eye-opener."
"It's admirable. Your parents must be proud of you..."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later, it's time for class."
The little Green Goblin Harry interrupted the two people's greetings and pulled Peter towards the teaching building.
"I hope we have the opportunity to meet and have a good chat."
The old Green Goblin Osborn looked at Peter Parker's back with a meaningful look.
"Cut!"
Director Marc Webb picked up the loudspeaker and roared,
Everyone on the set looked at him blankly.
Then Mark Webb smiled happily:
"Great! The first one passed! Take a 3-minute break and we'll prepare the next one!"
"Great!"
The actors on the set breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like they were doing pretty well.
Director Mark Webb was even more relieved.
The design of the first group of long lenses is more complicated.
Place it outdoors in an open environment,
There are many roles, many extras, and relatively many lines.
Mark Webb hoped to use a set of long shots to introduce several main characters in one shot.
Emma Stone has no lines, which is not a big problem;
James Franco and Willem Dafoe are both experienced actors, so there is no need to worry.
The only thing he worries about is Xu Can,
This Asian guy is just starting out and has never had any acting experience before.
Since the candidate was confirmed, outside media and within the company have been questioning his casting.
There's a lot of pressure on Mark Webb.
He chose to trust his intuition and Xu Can's potential,
But he actually felt very unsure.
I'm afraid that the first set of shots will go NG dozens of times,
Let everyone lose confidence in Xu Can's Spider-Man.
Unexpectedly, Xu Can turned out to be silky and smooth!
His performance was impeccable;
Bring Peter Parker's high school image to life!
"Is this kid really a genius?"
Even the opposite actors were a little surprised.
"I thought Xu would get stuck and forget his words, but I didn't expect that he would be more adaptable than me. I was a little nervous at first."
The equally good-looking actor James Franco smiled mockingly.
Willem Dafoe next to him took a sip of Coke, looked at Xu Can and sighed:
"To be honest, I didn't want to take this role before. What's going on with the Asian Spider-Man?"
"Fortunately, I finally listened to my agent and it was a good choice to take on this drama."
Willem Dafoe has a hunch that this "Spider-Man" might not be so bad?
On the other side, Xu Can and Emma Stone were sitting together chatting.
"How about it? Are you still used to it when you're filming for the first time?"
"I didn't feel anything. During the filming process, I forgot about everything and was completely immersed in the character."
"Wow, maybe you really have a talent!"
Emma Stone was happy for him;
After learning about Xu Can's experience, she sincerely hopes that Xu Can can successfully realize his dream.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's break time! Get ready for the next set of shots!"
The assistant director urged with a loudspeaker,
"Spider-Man" has been delayed for several years, and Sony Pictures can't wait any longer.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy,
The whole crew was under a lot of pressure.
"Scene 1, Shot 2, Shot 1!"
"Action!"
The moment the slate fell down, Xu Can's mind suddenly became clear!
At this moment, he is not Xu Can!
He is Peter Parker!
"I am Spider-Man!"
