As far as Christopher Nolan himself is concerned, he has no special likes or dislikes for Lan Li, nor special pursuit or rejection, and he is completely an ordinary actor.

Just as Christopher has a personality that refuses to use mobile phones and emails, he knows nothing about social networks and the new generation of celebrities. The "nothing" mentioned here means that the name has not been heard, the face has not been seen, and the other party may even be crowded by a large group of fans, and he does not understand why.

What Taylor Swift, what Kristen Stewart, what Chris Hemsworth, what Justin Bieber... He has no idea at all.

The same is true for Renly. For Christopher, this is an actor who is "always mentioned in Hollywood". He didn't know that Renly won the egot. He didn't know that Renly made history at the Oscars. He never even Have seen Lan Li's work. It’s not about Lan Li’s individual situation, but his living habits are like this:

A guy who lived in the nineteenth century but tinkered with movies. This is what Emma Thomas described to her husband, which is deeply appreciated among Hollywood industry insiders.

Therefore, Christopher does not have an accurate and clear concept of whether Renly will appear in "Interstellar Transition". On the whole, he is not optimistic about Renly.

the reason?

There is only one: age.

If Lan Lilly interprets the young version of Tom, it seems to be a good choice; but Cooper? The age number is an insurmountable huge gap-although now that the level of makeup in Hollywood has reached its peak, there is no problem with Lan Li's interpretation of a man in his early thirties.

But in Christopher's view, there is a question: why is it so?

Cooper’s age is set in the range of 40 to 50. This is precisely the range with the largest number of male actors in Hollywood — or the range with the most male actors in the peak state, so why should they ignore that? Countless actors of the right age choose a young man who is not yet twenty-four to play?

Before, when contacting Andy, Christopher did show great interest.

Because of his directing style, he is accustomed to inviting actors with solid acting skills, especially male actors. Christian Bale is one of his personally admired ones; moreover, he is a character who hates great changes, if Christian -If Bell is willing, he can use Christian as the actor in every work. Unfortunately, the latter's schedule is full and there is no time at all.

For Lan Li, Christopher's vague impression is: praise and affirmation are endless.

Therefore, Christopher naturally raised his hands to welcome; but after learning that Lan Li was expecting to play the role of Cooper, and his wife Emma Thomas, who was the producer of each of Christopher’s works, also emphasized that Lan Li’s current role Status and value, serving as a supporting role is very uneconomical, unless it is a role like a clown, which also makes Christopher more and more disappointed.

Despite this, Christopher opened up the possibility, and under the proactive promotion of Lanli, he agreed to meet today.

However, without any hope, Christopher had curiosity in his mind for the first time: what would it be like if Ren Li played Cooper?

Involuntarily, Christopher ignored the shackles of age, and constructed in his mind the texture of Lan Li's appearance in the picture. The maturity and wisdom gave the character a more full color, which seemed to be seamlessly connected with the plot. This is really true. A unique feeling.

"If you were to play Cooper, do you have any special ideas?" Christopher was a little curious.

Lan Li's answer again brought surprises, "No, I don't have any thoughts."

Christopher frowned slightly, but it was not irritability or anger, but curiosity. Through the conversation just now, he could be 100% sure that this was abnormal. "You don't look like a person without any thoughts."

Lan Li couldn't help but laughed happily. "In my opinion, Cooper is a special character. His story, his growth and his character are almost all stripped away in the movie, and all the weight falls on On top of his bond with the two children, especially the relationship between him and Murphy, this became his only image focus."

"This also means that what the film needs to present is an emotion, not an image. Then, for the actor, we should focus on expressing his emotional details and levels, rather than exploring the ins and outs of the role." Lan Lijin Possibly express it in a simple and simple way—

In fact, the summary is: actors should choose performance-based acting rather than method-based acting. This was the case of Matthew McConaughey in the previous life, but his performanceist acting skills need to be shown in small details, and he was swallowed up by the magnificence of the picture accidentally.

"What?" Christopher is completely dizzy. Every word and every sound is not difficult, but after all of them are connected, he can't understand a word. "You mean, Cooper's role is too thin. Up?"

This interpretation is also...

"That's correct." Lan Li nodded in affirmation. "You can recall that in Cooper's role, why did Nasa choose him to rejoin the action? Why did he choose to retire before? Why did he The emotional bond with his children is so deep? Why is he able to be the leader of the team? Also, what does his handling attitude and personality mean when he encounters a crisis situation?"

"..." Christopher was about to retort, but Lan Li stopped him with a smile and went on.

"Indeed, the script briefly mentioned what I just said. But in fact it is just a short sentence, without any practical meaning."

"How can this be explained? Simply put, the words that introduced Cooper, in terms of subsequent language, behavior, and attitude, are all irrelevant. From the perspective of the creation of the play, these background materials are just background. , Is separated from the character itself, which also makes the character itself like a piece of paper."

"In other words, the script does not actually give the actors a foothold and room to play, but only needs the actors to present a state."

After Lan Li said all the words in a blast, he took a short breath and then said again, "But for commercial films, this is the right way to create."

"Because of the role image of commercial films, what audiences need to see is a profile of personality. For example, Hobbes's skill and wisdom in'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion', or the transformation of Ricci in'Edge of Tomorrow', This is enough, too many branches will only destroy the narrative rhythm and the main story line."

"Similarly, in this movie, the audience only needs to see the fetters between Cooper and Murphy, and this is successful, because the entanglement between this fetter and time is the core theme of the film, not Cooper's personal story. ."

Christopher pondered for a moment, without agreeing or disagreeing, "You still didn't answer my initial question: If you play Cooper, do you have any special thoughts?"

"No, no." Lan Li repeated his answer again, "Or, for the director's answer, no. I only need the emotions and emotions you expect, and I can show them. That's all."

"So, what's the answer to the actor?" Christopher is also a smart man. He is also an excellent screenwriter like Jonathan Nolan. In fact, Christopher is better at directing his own scripts because he can integrate his own ideas and sense of picture into the storyline.

Lan Li laughed happily, "Does that matter?"

Christopher did not speak, but still looked at Lan Li intently, not giving way.

Lan Li spread his hands, "For the actor's answer, I hope to build their own memories and stories with the actors who play Murphy and Tom."

"For example, what happened to their mother? For example, is Cooper's choice to retire related to the children? For example, their daily life? For example, the close connection between Cooper and Murphy, Cooper and Tom Disagreement?" Lan Li simply gave an example, without in-depth conversation, UU read www.uukanshu.com, but it was enough for Christopher.

"I always believe that even in commercial films, 007 or Ethan Hunt, they have their own images and roles. Although they can't be presented in the movie story, they are all living characters. In the process of performing, the actors, Whether those background stories are true or not is very important.” Lan Li fully explained his thoughts, “I know, these contents will not appear in the movie screen, even if the screenwriter and director don’t know it, it doesn’t matter. but…"

"The quality of the performance is different." Christopher took the conversation, and then saw Lan Li's eyes reveal a look of surprise and surprise, he smiled triumphantly, "When I was on the set before, I couldn't understand Heath. He almost drove himself crazy and really became a clown. I tried to stop Heath, but Christian explained to me. That kind of performance quality is the soul of the actor’s performance."

After speaking, Christopher's smile became a little lonely: Heath Ledger's death has always been a pity for Christopher.

But the expression was fleeting, and Christopher immediately said, "Now I finally understand the meaning of the conversation."

Regarding the meaning of emotion and time, and the discussion of philosophical speculation, in fact, these things are not visible on the script, and their existence will not affect the entire narrative rhythm, but is revealed in the director’s pictures and the actors’ performances. Yes, he doesn’t need to worry about inserting such content, which may disrupt the rhythm of the movie—

Not only that will not be the case, but it can increase the depth and breadth of the film.

Thinking of this, Christopher's eyes lit up slightly, "Len Li, would you like to play the role of Cooper?"
