The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2273: help each other
Today is the first scene since Rogue One was launched. Everyone is groping for rhythm and looking for status, including Renly and Garis.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some stumbling and stumbling in the shooting, which is completely understandable. From scratch, this requires a process.
Even Lan Li, he is still in the stage of pondering. He can vaguely capture a context, and probably know the disharmony of rhythm changes, but he also needs time to adjust and run-in-the main actors are all from independent films or theater stages. Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is not. It's a bad thing, and it's also a double-edged sword.
Lan Li was even more interested in the fact that when he was shooting "Edge of Tomorrow", his feelings were not so direct or clear. What is the reason?
Because the crew members are more tacit? Or is it because the actor cast is stronger? Or is the director's style more approachable? However, Lan Li is personally inclined to another possibility: he was not mature enough at the time, and his understanding of performance was more limited to his one-acre three-point field; now, after he grows up, he looks at the problem more comprehensively and thoroughly. , Things that were not felt before, are now beginning to surface.
No wonder people always say: There is no end to learning.
After the filming stopped again, Lan Li thought about it carefully. The problem now is that he knows the crux of the problem, but he is not sure whether the solution is correct.
Since the whole picture is a whole, to adjust the performance method and rhythm, you need to make adjustments from different angles to match the light and angle of each character position, find a suitable performance method, and finally form with other actors A complete whole.
As an actor, the content and scope that Lanly can see is still relatively limited. You can also intuitively feel the difficulty of the director’s position from the side. While controlling the overall situation, you also need to pay attention to details and find a balance. To convey the director's own inspiration and opinions... etc., not everyone can become a good director.
Now Lan Li is thinking about whether his performance should be a little thicker: sometimes, knowing how to converge can release more information. What's more, in this scene, Garis only left Lan Li with a light to illuminate the left side of his face. The whole person is in a half-bright and half-dark state. If the emotions are too mixed, it will appear superfluous. It is better to streamline it. Gather the power, so that it will be more impactful.
Lan Li couldn't help but think of the performance of the double-faced Alan Eckhart (-Eckhart) in "Batman: The Dark Knight".
Back then, the clown played by Heath Ledger could be described as stealing the limelight and winning all the praise, so that Allen's performance did not cause much discussion; but in fact, Allen gave the double-faced a kind of evil spirit. The hostility of this character vividly shows the struggle and transformation of this role.
So, can he use the power of lights to show both good and evil similar to a double-faced man, giving Captain Cassian-Amdo more possibilities?
In the original script, Cassian's image is relatively weak, justice, passion, boldness, toughness, and bravery, desperate for the cause of the resistance army. On the one hand, this is a traditional hero image, which reflects the image of the entire rebel army. It is also a compromise under the situation of many characters, which does not give the actors too much room to play; but on the other hand, it is also boring. Yes, there are no surprises step by step.
In the previous life, Diego-Luna, the Mexican actor who played Cassido, was actually an actor with a very unique personality. The vibe of both righteous and evil is hidden behind the bookish atmosphere, with exquisite and exquisite acting skills. It's not bad. Unfortunately, the script did not give much room to play, and Diego's performance was submerged in the huge cast and magnificent scenes of "Rogue One".
At this time, because of repeated shooting many times, Lan Li gradually developed a special idea: can he inject a touch of darkness into Cassido——
It's not the kind of darkness that is ferocious or evil, but the kind of darkness that is almost paranoid that has evolved to resist the empire and save the hometown. This also makes Cassido often have a sense of eagerness and stubbornness when facing Jean-Esso, and even a little unreasonable, invisibly exerting pressure on Jean-Esso; but in the process of getting along later. , Gradually understood each other, and then converged the spikes little by little, supported each other, swaggering toward the faith that they insisted on without hesitation, burning their lives like moths into a fire.
In this way, the image of Cassido-Amdo is suddenly full, but it is not too complicated and deep, showing a reasonable development curve within the framework of the movie script.
From a performance perspective, how should it be presented?
Performance can be divided into two parts, appearance and inside. On the outside, the whole performance context is relatively rough, and a kind of paranoia is used to guide the eagerness that bursts out in the heart, and pressure is applied step by step. The way of presentation can be simpler and straightforward; inside, more complex thoughts are hidden in the eyes, but hidden In the half-bright and half-dark boundary, don't expose it to the camera easily, just inadvertently leak it out, and stop.
After that, as the shooting progressed, it was released bit by bit, maintaining the rhythm of the performance, and allowing the character to step into the hearts of the audience.
However, it’s very important to take a sense of measure. It is necessary to avoid falling into the performance of independent films, otherwise the dilemma of the scene will only get worse and worse. The original problem has not been solved, even if his rhythm and state are off track, then Garys' creative intentions may not come back.
Lan Li is thinking carefully, considering the control of scale and measure, or avoiding too much detail in his performance as much as possible. In his mind, he is conceiving how to use light to supplement performance details in an intuitive and effective way. Ways to convey the entire state to the audience.
Then, Lan Li noticed a hot gaze, temporarily pulling him out of his thoughts, staring again at the focus and focal length, and making direct contact with Felicity's eyes.
helpless.
Felicity’s eyes contained too many emotions, panic, tension, fear, worry, withdrawal, etc., all those intricate emotions were intertwined and mixed together, and finally occupied by a kind of helpless sorrow. It's like falling into a fishing net, struggling hard to get rid of.
"How should I do?"
Felicity did not speak, but the message from his eyes was simple and straightforward. This was the first time that Lanly saw Felicity.
When filming "Love Is Crazy", they also had a time when they were overwhelmed and frantic, but Felicity never showed helpless fragility; and now, Lan Li can even see through Felicity's eyes The fear of running away from the wasteland is like... as if you don't know how to perform.
How can I help?
Lan Li was very happy to help, but the scene specificity of "Rogue One" and the independence of Felicity's role made Lan Li a little confused. He could not even be 100% sure whether his performance fits the director's picture. Setting-This requires standing behind the monitor to watch, and there is still no special effects version of the picture, which means that the actors and the director need a lot of communication. Now these contents are lacking, and Lan Li naturally has no way to know.
Garys Edwards is really a boring... otaku.
Without waiting for Lan Li to continue thinking, "Are you ready? Let's do it again." Garris' voice came from the side, slightly restrained and slightly tense, you can feel it, Garris is also in confusion now. He is also trying to find a correct way of expression.
This means that they all need help, and the only thing that can help them is that each other is themselves.
Lan Li gave up interrupting Garis’ abacus, but cast a line of sight towards Felicity, gently chins her head, motioning for her to be calm, calm down, and then follow her feelings, "Let's talk to each other." Help each other."
Felicity’s head was a little muddy, and there was no way to interpret so many details from a single look, but she could feel the power delivered by Lan Li, and her mood settled down slightly, as if she was holding a strip with her hands. Hot towel, although the heat disappeared in a blink of an eye, but the tension in the mood was slightly relaxed.
She knew that Lan Li could always find a way. Wasn't it the same when filming "Love Is Crazy" before?
Closing her eyes, Felicity took a few deep breaths to let her panic calm down; but the blank brain was still not sure how to perform, as if... as if she didn't know how to perform at all. Even the most basic acting skills have been forgotten. However, Lan Li is nearby.
"Len Li is right there."
Felicity told herself again, forced herself to calm down, and then opened her eyes again.
"Start shooting!"
The filming started again, and the first half was still a disaster. The three actors were unable to fit the same track in their respective performance rhythms, which made the whole scene look chaotic and alienated~lightnovelpub.net~ Even the most basic emotional expressions are inaccurate. It can be seen that everyone is struggling a bit.
"...This is Captain Cassian-Amdo, a rebel intelligence agent."
The sight of the audience followed the camera lens and shifted to Lan Li.
Before this, Cassian had always stood in the shadow next to him. The blue-green neon fluorescence faintly reflected on his face. The face hidden behind the scum was a little gloomy, and the eyes that fell under the shadow of the eyelashes never showed. Up to this moment, with his slow footsteps, light and shadow flowed little by little, revealing the appearance of his eyes: calm, deep, but turbulent.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
He walked to the side of the conference table, staring condescendingly at Jin-Esso, but didn't speak immediately, just watched her quietly. There was a sense of oppression in those eyes.
