The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1892: Deja vu
The rocker camera lens slowly rises, from the position of the horizon all the way up to the height of the three-story building, condescendingly captures the entire picture into the lens, including Irving and Claire, as well as the far-end scene. All content is presented in front of the audience in a panoramic way.
But... nothing!
Melanie and Chen Zihao could not see anything on the monitor screen. The plains and hills in front of them were empty open spaces. There was nothing but grass and trees, not even passing birds or birds. There were no animals, and it was as quiet as a dead place.
This, what the **** is going on? What are Owen and Claire looking at?
The sharp gap between vision and perception made Melanie return from illusion to reality. It was then that she realized that everything was just filming. Then, through the lines of Irving and Blair, Melanie also understood what she saw in the panorama. : There are brachiosaurus corpses everywhere.
Of course, it is impossible to produce a large number of hill-like brachiosaurus corpses at the shooting site. All these details require post-production computer special effects to complete the production. Therefore, there was such a contrast in the monitor screen. Owen and Claire saw a clearing, but they needed to make solemn and unexpected expressions.
At this time, I recalled the performance of Lanly and Bryce again, but Melanie couldn't help but linger on it-I can't say that she was 100% involved in it, but she did feel the real feeling through the monitor screen. The revelation of those delicate and complex emotions can awaken resonance at any time and in any scene, and even make people ignore the absurdity of the surrounding scenes.
"Do you think that's the reason for stage play?" Melanie suddenly became curious and discussed to Chen Zihao, "Standing on a narrow stage, those simple layouts and scenes, there is no sense of reality at all. But actors can still pass the story and emotions to the audience through their own performances, let the audience ignore the absurdity of the entire environment and enter the story?"
After thinking about it in this way, Melanie felt more and more reasonable, and now recalling the performance just now, the emotions conveyed by Lan Li's eyes and expressions can make her feel the same, and even immerse herself in the sad mood of mourning. As a result, he was eagerly paying attention to the picture above the panoramic view of the plain, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, wanting to discover the scene that Owen and Claire saw.
This is really amazing, isn't it?
Everyone knows that film is a dream-making industry. Through various technologies, human imagination has been transformed into reality. The dinosaur in front of us is one of the best examples; but more often, people give credit to it. When it comes to directing and special effects, it is often easy to overlook the contributions of actors to "dream-making".
If the wonderful performances of actors in art films or drama films awaken the emotional resonance of the audience, this is a natural consensus; then the lively performances of actors in commercial films or popcorn blockbusters replace the audience into the world of their imagination. Experiencing life and persuading the audience that everything they see now is true and credible, and then enter the virtual world of the movie, that is also an irreplaceable "dream-making" link.
Strictly speaking, Melanie is not a movie lover. Let alone Lanly’s art works, she hasn’t even watched many commercial popcorn movies during the summer. For her, movies are a simple means of entertainment. Some people like it, some people are not so interested.
But at this time, Melanie faintly began to find it interesting, especially the charm of the film given to the performance. This made the film production process full of sparks of chemical reactions. The cooperation between the links may be due to different personnel. Participate and evolve a completely different chemical reaction——
Melanie knows that her perspective and way of thinking are indeed somewhat unique, but she enjoys it. that's enough.
Wait, why didn't Chen Zihao respond?
"Chen?" Melanie slammed Chen Zihao with her elbow, but she didn't have any strength, so Chen Zihao snorted, Melanie couldn't help but laughed, "Hey, why didn't you react at all? Didn’t you hear what you said?"
Chen Zihao did not hear, "I was just thinking. The scene just now looked a bit familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember what was going on. I was a bit distracted. What did you say?" Rubbed his stomach and complained. Then, "Would you like to do it so hard?"
Melanie laughed again and patted Chen Zihao's back heavily, "Don't worry, I have something to do with it. I know you can bear it."
Chen Zihao's eyes are about to bulge out: Is this still called attention? He felt like he was about to vomit blood now!
"I just said that the actor's performance is really amazing and can always convey the story and emotion, right?" Melanie once again briefly summarized her thoughts, "It's like just now, I can really feel The grief at Lanli seemed to be a kind of heaviness after experiencing countless lives and deaths. His eyes were really good. I can't tell the specifics, but I think it's very good."
Look?
Chen Zihao's mind flashed, "I remember!'Pacific War'!"
"What?" Melanie was full of question marks.
Chen Zihao explained, "Len Li’s famous work is the'Pacific War.' HBO's TV series. In the series, I remember it seems to be the ninth or eighth episode? Lan Li has appeared in similar episodes. In one scene, he hugged a woman who was about to die, and the emotions in his eyes were so delicate and complicated. It truly interprets the meaning of life and death and sparked countless discussions on social networks."
"Really?" Melanie was unheard of.
Chen Zihao nodded, "But...I always feel a little different, and I can't tell. It's like, uh...it's like Lan Li's performance was more polished at that time, not bad, but compared For now, it seems a bit too strong. However, there is no trace in today's performance, and the whole feeling appears."
As he said, Chen Zihao himself began to feel frustrated, because he is an amateur movie lover, and he really asked him to analyze the quality and details of the performance. He couldn't say one reason, even his own feelings were expressed. Not too detailed, "Ah! I can't tell. Anyway, I think Lanly is different."
Instead, Melanie, who has always been on the sidelines, saw it more clearly, “Are you sure it’s not because of commercial films that Renly adjusted the performance method? I’m not an expert, but I also know that the performance method of art films must not be used in In commercial movies, otherwise it would be weird."
"No, no, no." Chen Zihao shook his head repeatedly, "'Pacific War' is not an art film." But halfway through, Chen Zihao couldn't help but stop, "...it seems to make sense to say that."
Melanie shrugged, "I see. Anyway, Lan Li is very good, right?"
Chen Zihao thought about it seriously, "Well, yes."
At least from Chen Zihao’s perception, Lan Li’s performance is even more weighty. There are no traces or even signs of exertion in the whole performance, but all emotions are conveyed in place between the eyes and expressions, not the previous ones. The performance was not good, but Lan Li's performance was upgraded again.
But specifically because of the improvement of Lan Li's strength, or because the performance of commercial films can't be too heavy, Chen Zihao can't name one.
At the same time, Colin is also communicating with Lan Li and Bryce.
"Bryce, the performance will be more restrained." Colin said into the walkie-talkie.
Blyth didn't quite understand, "What is meant by convergence? My emotional expression just now was very restrained." It was not a struggle based on reason, but an objective discussion.
Colin scratched his head. "I'm not sure, but I always feel that your emotions are too much, which makes Claire's performance seem a little deliberate. I mean, Claire did feel Owen's pain, and indeed I felt the sadness of the dinosaur's death, but it was naturally revealed, and your emotions were too much just now, making the audience easy to have an illusion of'you are trying to understand Owen', understand?"
In fact, Colin's feelings are very subtle. Is there a problem with Blythe's performance? No! But Bryce’s performance was placed in front of Lan Li, and the traces of carving were immediately obvious. This also made Claire’s emotions lack of sincerity. The subtle difference became particularly obvious in the opponent's play, and even a little abrupt. .
But as a director, Colin's understanding of performance is really limited. He can catch the gap from the director’s standpoint, but he can’t say why. At least he can’t finish the analysis sharply and clearly, so he is caught in a dilemma:
He knows that something is not quite right ~lightnovelpub.net~ but he has no way to point out the problem in detail, and no way to give correct guidance. He can only continue to collide in conversations and attempts, hoping to find a correct one in the end. Way of performance.
Blyth can faintly understand Colin's meaning, but she doesn't have any idea about how to do it. After thinking about it seriously, she is not sure that she understands Colin's intentions, "You mean, shouldn't it be so sad? Or maybe, shouldn't we cry? That seems too hypocritical?"
"No, no, no, it's not like that." Colin repeatedly denied, "Uh...I can't explain it in detail, otherwise, you can perform it again according to your own understanding and collect your emotions. Let's see the effect. How?"
If the director doesn't know how to direct the performance, then just follow the feeling and leave all the work to the actors. This is the best solution.
Bryce chewed seriously, but she still didn't have a clear idea. She raised her head and glanced at Lan Li, and hesitated whether she should ask Lan Li, but when she recalled her recent relationship pattern, she finally I chose to shut my mouth and decided to try my own method.
