In the "Drunk Country Folk Song" story fragment, Levine Davis's living condition has not changed. It seems that after turning a circle, he has returned to the original place. But after careful analysis, is this really the case?

In this short week, Levine learned that he was about to become a father, but had to raise money to dispose of the child, because he was pregnant by his best friend’s wife, and because he had no energy and ability to raise him. This child.

Levine met a group of young people who entered the folk music circle with dreams. They chose to compromise with the market, younger and more commercial, and they succeeded, but he still didn't. He envied but refused to be them.

Levine desperately went to Chicago, hoping to find his own Bole, but failed. After returning, he chose to become a crew member and gave up his dream, but because his sister lost his crew card, he had to give up. After losing a lot of cash, he returned to the gaslight bar.

He was spinning, he kept spinning in place, struggling to survive, persevering, and struggling, but he couldn't find the way out. So, after a round, he returned to the folk song again.

Why are Levine's ballads always bitter? Because this is his life.

To understand and enter Levine’s dilemma, it is not easy for actors, but it is not the core problem. The real difficulty lies in the conflicts and waves brought about by these dramatic turns, which change Levine little by little. Mentality.

If there is no change, the character will become numb and stupid, there will be no waves or ups and downs, just a flat straight line, all the drama of the story has disappeared in the performance, and the audience will naturally not be able to calm down and savor it. . Especially after the Coen brothers intercepted a fragment of the era that circled in place, it is easy to lose the patience of the audience after the lack of performance changes.

When the end came, nothing seemed to have changed, but Levine was still different after all.

Lan Li couldn't help but start thinking about whether Oscar-Isaac's performance lacked layers and changes in the previous life, and this lost more delicate texture, but the memory in his mind was a bit blurred. Now I think about it again. When I got up, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" still left some glimpses and glimpses of fragments and concepts, but the details were completely lost.

In a sense, this also explains part of the problem. Oscar Isaac’s performance is undoubtedly excellent, and Lan Li personally likes it very much; but it lacks the aftertaste and depth, and the lack of tail power affects the extension of the character and the aftertaste of the story.

In the absence of crutches, how should the role of Levine be presented? To be more precise, how to show Levine, who is under the wave of folk songs, struggles in just seven days? Although a week is not enough to make Levine's personal state and mentality change drastically, how should those sporadic ripples appear and how should they be tapped?

Renly needs time and space to break away from the Ryan Stone story and enter the world of Levine Davis, but unfortunately, this is what he lacks most now.

Undoubtedly, this is an interesting script and an interesting character.

On the surface, the performance does not seem to be too challenging. After all, the story does not discuss human nature or philosophy. At least compared to the profoundness of "gravity", "Drunk Country Folk Ballad" seems to be a refreshing vanilla ice cream. , There is not much difficulty; but after calming down and thinking deeply, you can see the difficulty in it.

Difficulties far beyond imagination.

Because of the lack of time, Lan Li chose an extreme way. In the past few days, he has listened to the original soundtrack of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" over and over again and again.

There is no time to think about the script, and no time to explore the characters, but to relax a little bit, use music as a bridge, to truly listen to the soul and life behind those melody, and to truly explore the era and history behind those musical notes, and enter The world of folk songs in the 1960s entered the world reshaped by the Coen brothers.

If there is enough time, Lan Li is willing to find real old people and experts, ordinary people who have experienced the wave of that era, sit down and have a long conversation, and have a deep understanding of the folk song trend of the 1960s, from history to anecdotes, from rumors to facts; And to further understand the folk singers of the 1960s, the famous and unfamiliar singers, find them in the trend of the whole time.

Unfortunately, Lan Li did not have time.

Therefore, Lan Li adopted a more direct method and asked a series of questions. He was asking the Coen brothers who are directors and producers. He was asking the co-actors in the same work. At the same time, he was asking himself. Waiting for the answer, waiting for the brainstorm, waiting for the collision of ideas, to give him more inspiration for performance.

"Levien-Davis is not a symbol. In the tide of the times, he is just a drop of water. It is insignificant. It may be a symbol of a loser. But in the life of Levine-Davis, he is Not only that, he is the whole world. Then, how did the changes and turbulence in this world happen, and how do they appear?"

"Through music? Or through performance? Or, through the capture of the camera and the paving of the plot? Especially at the beginning and the end, Levine performed the same repertoire. Is there any difference between the two performances? The arrangement is also different. Is there a difference in the way of deduction?"

Entering the world of performance, Lan Li is still that Lan Li, but it is no longer the Lan Li. The focused sight is even mixed with a hint of aggressive and sharp, and the steady voice reveals more profound meaning in simple words. Easily triggered a series of chain thinking.

Slowly, those intricate and meaningful eyes gradually gathered, focusing and fiercely falling on the bodies of Lan Li and the Coen brothers. The disturbing and messy thoughts slowly disappeared, accompanied by Lan Li's words began to enter " In the world of "Drunk Country Folk Songs", the noise was calmed down without knowing it.

Facing Lan Li’s question, Joel fell into his own thoughts and did not answer immediately. Instead, Ethan cut into the topic, "Oh, how do you say? I think that performance and music are integrated, and each other Is indivisible."

"Ha, sorry." Lan Li chuckled lightly. "It's true. I think I didn't express the meaning clearly." He thought about it and explained further, "In my opinion, every soundtrack You can find the corresponding archetype characters in the long history of the song, and they are closely integrated with the creator."

"In other words, under what circumstances, under what background, and by who created this song, what kind of wave of the times it represents, and how it develops, this is complementary to the whole story. They are no longer just a few simple songs, but the epitome of the background of the entire era and a portrayal of every character."

Lan Li was still sitting on the chair indifferently, but a focused look burst out of those eyes, completely ignoring all the sights and eyes around him. The whole world was left with him and the director having a brainstorm. He is the only one left to have a soul dialogue with the script and the characters.

"This also means that each song is given a different narrative meaning. It tells a story and a role. Furthermore, the singer is definitely not just singing in the process of interpreting the song. So, my question Yes, does this mean that the re-creation and re-arrangement of songs, as well as the re-interpretation of singers, should be adjusted accordingly? Even the understanding of the role should be integrated into it."

"If this is the case, then the arrangement style and interpretation of the song will be completely different; furthermore, the way will be different during the live performance. I remember that you mentioned before that all the tracks will be different. Performing on the scene, not dubbing in the studio, right?"

In the end, Lan Li's eyes fell on Joel and formally responded to Joel's question.

Everyone fell silent and fell into their own thoughts. This is a very abstract concept. It can be seen that Lan Li is not fooling around, but has thought about it seriously; moreover, it has thought more deeply and mysteriously than most people ~lightnovelpub.net~ also More comprehensive.

Rumors in the industry emerged in my mind. Lan Li is an actor, Lan Li is a singer, and Lan Li is a music composer. Before the name "Lan Li-Hall", many more can be added. Title, this is what Vanity Fair is best at, but in the final analysis, Lan Li is an artist. At least, he is exploring as an artist.

For music, performance, and creation, Lan Li has his own interpretation and interpretation, and opens up different possibilities, discussing with directors, screenwriters, and co-actors, hoping to inject more energy into the performance process. All made him collide with the stories and characters of "Drunken Country Folk Songs" with endless sparks.

People thought that Lan Li was distracted and did not listen carefully to what the director said; but in fact, those who listened carefully did not use their brains at all, just passively receiving information, while Lan Li, who seemed to be distracted, was careful. Taste the director's words and extend more possibilities.

So, who is the dedicated one?

Ironically, at this time, no one cared about the pin-felt and restless figures next to them, but they were still wandering, and everyone else had followed Lan Li's words into the exploration of thinking. The Coen brothers are even more so.

In just a few days, only through the mastering of the original soundtrack, Renly had already constructed the entire folk world of the 1960s in his mind, as well as the role of Levine Davis, but the time was still too short. However, his concepts and ideas are not comprehensive enough. He needs to communicate with the Coen brothers, as well as the understanding and opinions of other actors.

Joel and Ethan exchanged a glance, showing a look of excitement. They had to be fortunate that they found Lan Li.
