Chapter 330： intoxicated

Filming and watching your own performance are two different things.

In fact, Hilary Swank was stunned when she saw her Maggie came out.

My thoughts flew back to the past, the boxing gym selected, trained and built by Director Lehmann...

have become the past.

She hadn't seen the finished film, and since the filming ended, she left the group.

On the contrary, now, looking at the big screen, there is an unfamiliar sense of familiarity.

Obviously, when I was shooting, I had experienced it myself, but it seemed like an outsider.

Looking at it again, it reminded her of the good times at that time.

Perhaps, this is the charm of acting.

Devote yourself to the story, withdraw from the story, and have great expectations for the story.

The lens turns.

Maggie came to the gym again.

After saying hello to Eddie, I silently warmed up and started skipping rope.

It is the afternoon, and many people come to the gym for training.

Most people just use it as a pastime, or a physical exercise.

Frankie, on the other hand, is earnestly guiding a black guy who is the most talented fighter in the gym and the one who won the boxing match at the beginning of the movie. Jay.

Jay came today to discuss with Frankie about going to the championship game.

He thinks that his strength is enough to challenge the boxing champion gold belt.

But Frankie is conservative and thinks he should wait until the time is fully ripe to compete.

Because of this, the two had a big fight.

Jay is a kid from a poor family who dreams of playing championship games and winning money.

He thinks that he is young and powerful, and he can make a little more money at this time.

So, one night, he ran to Frankie's house, and after the negotiation failed again, he defected to other brokers.

The most powerful apprentice left, Frankie looked as if nothing had happened on the surface, but he felt a little uncomfortable inside.

The reason he didn't let Jay play in the championship game was because he had seen too many precedents where the rush to make money and become famous had ruined his career.

He didn't want to take risks.

But my friend Eddie doesn't think so.

"You did it because you didn't trust Jay," he demanded.

Frankie was a little resentful, "I dug him out and trained him for 8 years, so why don't you believe him?"

"You should have let him play in the championship two years ago. He has the quality to play. I'm surprised he can stay so long."

"Challenging is two different things from winning the gold belt. What can I do? Push him out, let him fight, and then fail? That's to let him die, I won't do that."

"You are preventing him from challenging the boxing champion. He is only one step away."

"I'm protecting him." Frankie was a little excited.

"It's not called protection."

Hearing his friend Eddie's rebuttal, Frankie sneered: "What about you? What did your agent do? You were also very strong. He hurriedly asked you to challenge the boxing champion. What did you get? One eye? No more punches?"

It hurts to say that.

The scar in his heart was revealed, but at this moment, Eddie was still very calm, "I at least tried it. I fought hard and everyone can see it."

"So what, I don't want my boxer to ruin his career, and I can only make a living by cleaning other people's saliva for the rest of my life."

A few days later, the championship game began.

Relying on his excellent hard power, Jay was stunned to directly defeat his opponent in the third round.

Frankie was watching the boxing match at home, and he suddenly realized that he was indeed a little too conservative.

But with his character, he would never admit it.

Then, he saw Maggie again.

This 28-year-old girl is still training.

As if touched, he tried to talk to her for the first time.

The composition at this time is very interesting.

Frankie was half hidden in the darkness, and the incandescent lamp overhead clearly illuminated Maggie.

The girl smiled, and Frankie pulled home.

Slowly, Frankie's figure became clearer and clearer, symbolizing that he gradually began to accept Maggie.

When he finally agreed to train Maggie, the small space of light and shadow accommodated two people.

This kind of shadow and brightness generated by the light to promote the transformation of the character's heart is very clever.

The light source is concentrated in one place, and the other places are slightly dim.

In terms of techniques and scheduling, it's really good.

Anyway, Quentin is down there, looking very comfortable.

The progression of the plot is also smooth and not abrupt.

I thought it would be a cliché to impress Frankie with Maggie's serious attitude, but I never thought that it was Frankie who broke through his line of defense because of Jay.

Soon, the plot entered the second stage.

Under Frankie's tutelage, Maggie began training as a regular boxer.

She lacks stamina, but is explosive.

This training scene, Ryman did not use most of the pen and ink to color.

In a montage way, in almost 7 minutes, Maggie's growth is told.

Not only does the posture become more formal, but the body shape is also better shaped.

Between training sessions, Lehmann inserted another dark line.

That is, the letter that Frankie sent was returned again.

Quentin was also thinking that Frankie with such a personality would be a ghost if he could handle the family relationship well.

So, in the day-to-day training, Frankie unconsciously injected some father-daughter emotions.

A few months later, Maggie consciously practiced well, and she was naturally eager to try it out in the competition.

Frankie agreed.

But because of Jay's matter, he found another agent for Maggie to take her to the competition He was very afraid and it was his hesitation, which caused Maggie to waste her limited life in the ring.

She is older and has a shorter golden period for boxing.

And the agent he hired didn't care about the boxer's condition. As long as he participated in the competition, he would have money.

So soon, he arranged a women's boxing match for Maggie.

Although Maggie wondered why Frankie refused to take her, she was still happy to be able to take the stage.

She considers herself a failure in her life, but even a failure like her wants to have moments of brilliance.

When she got home, she rarely spoke a few words to the neighbor across the street, and invited him to watch her game.

But the man refused.

"I don't like boxing."

Maggie didn't take it seriously, but on game day, the neighbors went anyway.

In the small venue, apart from the coaches and staff of both sides, the only audience who really came to watch was the neighbor.

The two boxers who came to the stage were not well-known, and no one would care who would win or lose.

But they themselves care.

The game was intense.

Maggie has no experience in the stage, and usually only fights with some apprentices.

On the other hand, the female boxer on the opposite side is younger and has great endurance.

In the first two rounds, even if Maggie competed for the first time, she still pressed the opponent, but she was unable to knock down the opponent.

She is very defensive and resistant to punches.

In the third round, the woman began to exert her strength, but Maggie gradually lost her strength...

This was her weakness, she was old after all, and that was why Frankie was hesitant at first.

Although he himself has not taught girls is also a reason.
