The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2168: Peace of mind
So... Did something happen just now or it was all right? What happened between Renly and Oggs?
In just a few words, the staff were only able to capture a few fragments. More often, they observed the changes in the expressions of Renly and Oggs, and then made up for it on their own. But the problem is that they are not familiar with Oggs, nor do they I am too familiar with Lan Li, after all, the crew has just been formed, and now I can only guess through the short impressions of getting along, and then guess the story's direction...Unfortunately, the gossip fire is doomed to return without success.
Lan Li and Oggs just turned around and returned, but they couldn't see too many doorways. It was clear that what had happened, but it seemed that nothing had happened.
After Ougs entered the door, he went straight to the monitor to watch the playback. His face was so focused that it was hard to tell; Lan Li was facing and looking at it with a smile, but the magnanimous appearance allowed all the inquiring eyes to look at. They all avoided it, feeling a guilty conscience.
Olivia and Rachel’s eyes were thoughtful. The little things really made them have to re-evaluate Lan Li. The rumored super big name seems to be a little different from what they imagined; Ben-Westshaw and John C-Reilly didn't have much reaction, but his silent expression hides his rolling emotions, revealing a "nothing strange" look. The expression of the old **** is much more advanced than those sneaky explorations.
What is certain is that "Lobster" is not an ordinary crew.
The different coping strategies of different people have opened up many possibilities for the crew that encountered problems on the first day of filming; and each actor has a distinct personality, which makes the crew unique. At least, Lan Li has never experienced such a style of crew.
Bathed in the gaze of many gossip explorations, Lan Li also moved to the position of the monitor, joined the ranks of Oggs, and began to watch the performance replay.
This is the first time Renly has challenged the comedy movie "Big Hero 6" since "anti-cancer me", and "Lobster" is a European comedy film, not a noisy and noisy comedy. It was a satire revealed from the inside out. This was also Lan Li's first attempt.
Watching the replay of the video, Lan Li is also carefully reviewing, whether he should take some or put some, he is not sure about it, he still needs to ponder and consider. From the effect of the first scene, Lan Li is a little bit uncomfortable:
Compared with other works, the performance of David Lanly's role is too calm, it is difficult to detect those emotional waves, a little carelessness may not have the element of performance, but completely reduced to a line. Repeater, this kind of restrained and steady performance wants to show the emotional level, undoubtedly more difficult.
But at the same time, compared with Oggs's other works, Renly revealed too many changes during the performance, especially the lines played on the spot, which disrupted the whole rhythm, not the rhythm of the performance but the drama. What really disrupted the rhythm of Oggs was Oggs's rhythm. No wonder Oggs could not control his temper.
So, is Lan Li's performance too much turbulence or too calm? These measures must be completed through exchanges and discussions.
Oggs watched the video playback four times, and then stood there quietly thinking: If he follows his habits, then the scene must be too "noisy", and those sudden emotional ups and downs have ruined the entire movie. His sense of rhythm is like sudden ripples on the surface of a calm lake; but Lan Li’s words just now make sense. He needs to communicate and discuss. Only in this way can his ideas collide with the actors.
Oggs began to think, if this was Rachel's performance, how would he respond?
Objectively speaking, Rachel has formed his own acting style, and rarely breaks through. Sometimes it is a bad thing, but sometimes it is also a good thing; then, after Rachel’s performance breaks the balance, his first reaction should be:
"Len Li, what's your intention for performing like this? I just said, this time asking for temptation and breaking the balance of the whole scene, wouldn't it be too emotional?" Oggs is changing his way of thinking. It is not easy, but he is willing to try, after all, it was just prejudice before.
"I'm trying to break the law. In fact, it is to break David's life pattern." Lan Li could feel Oggs's changes, and he also seriously replied that David's life pattern was affected by the fact that from being married to going to the hotel as a single. Breaking, similarly, David’s love model has also been broken. He is trying to make an attempt. This is the part that he just communicated with Oggs outside the hotel entrance. “On the other hand, I’m trying to sculpt the character. Different from the roles of Ben and John."
Just like Wes Anderson's movies, "Moonrise Kingdom", "Budapest Hotel", etc., almost every character is endowed with a candy-colored weirdness, so the character difference between characters is also It is easy to blur, so his works rarely make actors shine.
The same is true for Oggs, the director’s cool style tends to prevail. But "Lobster" is slightly different because the characters must avoid homogeneity, which can give the story variety and complexity.
The three roles of Lanly, Westshaw, and John are all bachelors who were sent over, and then they could not find a partner for different reasons; of course, the way to solve the problem was also different. In addition to appearance, Lan Li still hopes to find differences in the corners of the role and personality characteristics.
"If you think it's too abrupt, I can try to collect it introvertedly." Lan Li then added, "Is there only a temporary part of the lines? Or is there too much emotion in other parts?" , Lan Li, who is eager to try, is likely to exert too much force under the excitement, which is also normal.
Oggs didn't answer immediately, but thought about the character of Whisshaw carefully, "Where is the difference you said?" He needs to understand it concretely.
"John is dumb, originally silent, but I am jerky." Slightly similar or even similar adjectives, but after careful thinking, you can figure out different differences. Combined with the follow-up story clues, the characters will obviously come alive as before. The conception of David may be a combination of dullness and silence, but now he has a unique personality, and the clear lines and corners make the character image alive on paper.
"Hey, don't take my job. I can also finish the show." John Reilly inserted a sentence just right. It seemed that he was making a mockery, but it was actually a joke, and then the atmosphere of the shooting scene became cheerful. It was slightly depressed because of the subtle atmosphere between Renly and Oggs.
Oggs ignored John, but pondered for a moment, "Let's shoot again, converge our emotions, and let us see the effect."
Oggs is still accustomed to taking control of his own initiative. Before filming in Greece, he was able to create independently and make adjustments according to his needs; now that he has left Greece, many things are different, not to mention that the partner is still Lanli, and Ogus will inevitably feel that he is at a loss.
But now Oggs is also trying to calm his mind: "Lobster" is the first step, and there may be second and third steps in the future. At least he is looking forward to it. Then after dealing with Lanli, he will be able to do so in the future. Increase experience, this should be a good thing.
Lan Li did not refute, and simply nodded in agreement, as if the communication between the two alone at the door of the hotel had never happened before.
The staff in the entire crew exchanged their sights secretly, but they were a little disappointed with the "respect as a guest" between Renly and Oggs. It was clear that conflicts seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, but the result was still peaceful coexistence, and the two even developed a peaceful friendship. Discuss, this is really...boring.
The staff who were looking forward to watching a good show are inevitably disappointed.
Seeing Lan Li back in front of her, Nancy-onu was a little nervous and couldn't help but adjust her sitting posture slightly, "Sorry." He said in a low voice, her expression a little uncomfortable, "Sorry for the destruction. Your performance. I...I'm very sorry."
Nancy is the one who plays the front desk staff. She is a black man about 30 years old. She doesn't have many characteristics and is easily overlooked in the performance industry. Obviously, she was worried that the performance she had just been frightened had caused the conflict between Renly and Oggs.
"No need." Lan Li smiled and waved his hands again and again, "We need to cooperate with each other. I am ready for the raid, and naturally understand the possible consequences. Don't worry, we just keep looking for a proper performance rhythm."
Nancy laughed heartily, her expression clearly relaxed. Although she is not stage fright, it does not mean that she does not know what Renly means, "So... do you still follow the performance just now? Or the script? I need to do it. What's the reaction?"
Although Nancy is a little cautious ~lightnovelpub.net~, her communication is a necessary part of the opponent's play. Lan Li also seriously replied, "Don't worry, you can respond naturally. If I don't specifically discuss it, Playing on the spot, that means we don’t need to cooperate. You can react or not, there is no problem."
The front desk staff of the hotel does not have a "character personality". Although Nancy must have his own ideas during the performance, it will not be mentioned in the script, and there will be no influence in the plot. Therefore, the premise that Nancy can play freely is, She doesn't play on her own like the dragon set in "The King of Comedy".
Nancy felt a little relieved now.
The first scene of the boot was reinvested in filming, more than once.
Oggs repeatedly communicated and adjusted with Lan Li, and explored more possibilities on the scale of the character’s emotions, trying to find a suitable rhythm; instead, Nancy who was not nervous was also nervous, and made mistakes twice. , Which led to the resumption of the shooting, and in the end seven versions were shot back and forth, and Ogus ended the shooting.
It's not smooth but not bad. No matter what, "Lobster" will officially start.
