The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2277: Global control

Angus and May-Bell’s emotions are a bit conflicted. They don’t know whether they should be happy or worried: it turns out that they have not been forgotten by Lan Li, and Lan Li did not play big cards indiscriminately; however, they experienced the little stormy sea just now. , The emotions of the two people are a little tight, as if they are challenging a high-altitude wire, the thought of turning and running is still surging in their minds, and they have an irresistible temptation/deceptive power.

Fortunately, Lan Li's words quickly caused them to fall into thinking. For the time being, there was no time to think about the chances of survival, or to put them into the ditch collectively?

"Garys, we can notice the changes in the light on the set, which is obviously a very important part of the whole scene; but what else? The lens is close, medium, distant or panoramic? What about the high and low positions of the camera? And when the character is in dialogue, what is the position of the dialogue character in the depth of field in the lens? What is the position of the other actors in the lens? The most important thing is, what mood do you want to convey in the lens? Nervousness? Confrontation? Or? what?"

Everyone looked dumbfounded. Isn't these states a professional director? What does it have to do with these actors?

But Garis showed a contemplative look, and the depth and focus in his eyes showed the activeness of his brain.

"During the performance, spotlights are left on every actor's face, which means that the details of expression can be clearly captured by the camera; but the composition of the picture and the track of the shot are showing the relationship between the roles and the overall atmosphere. It means that the performance of the actor cannot be too trivial or too delicate, otherwise it will be lost. Now, each of us understands the camera differently, and the most important thing is that we can’t understand the director’s pursuit and finally show the state of performance. , It cannot be accurately captured by the lens."

Angus and May Bell are still full of confusion. They can understand every word of Lan Li, but when combined, they are like a heavenly book.

Felicity's thoughts gradually awakened, and her bright eyes looked at Lan Li full of expectation and excitement. All the clues were connected, and the chaotic and noisy brain became clear again, and everything made sense. Those obstacles and difficulties disappeared in an instant.

Garys still maintained a state of absolute concentration. "What you mean is that the lighting tries to capture the state of each character, while the screen tries to capture the atmosphere of the audience. There is a conflict between the two. The actors cannot be sure during the performance. How should I grasp the scale, and finally destroy the overall smoothness and completeness. On the whole, the details are correct and the connections are correct, but the panoramic blueprint is wrong?"

"No, no, no." Lan Li shook his head repeatedly, "You should be clear whether you want the part or the whole, so that we can get on the right track."

"Judging from the requirements you just made for me, you are actually more inclined to the overall effect, so you hope that my performance can be more convergent, but you don't want to miss the depth and level of the character in the lens. This I was convinced. No, this is not what we want. You should leave the performance space to ourselves, but the premise is that you need to delimit the performance space and give a direction and goal. This is correct."

Lan Li’s further explanation did not make Garis suddenly realize, instead, he entered another horn and frowned and said, “Performance space? I don’t know anything about performance. I only know that your performance is in my lens. Whether it’s appropriate or not..."

"Yes, this is what we need!" Lanly interrupted Garris, and then he could see Garris raising his head in confusion, he had to explain, "Your lens! This is what we need!"

"Remember? This is a sci-fi movie, and computer special effects must occupy a large space. What does this mean? It means that we actors have no way of knowing the final effect of the shots and pictures, even if we go behind the monitor and watch On-site playback, you may not be able to imagine the entire blueprint, only you know, you know how magnificent the scene is, and you know how gorgeous the picture is. All this is in your mind."

"On the set, you control the entire scene through your own scheduling of the trajectory of the camera and the arrangement of the depth of field of the picture. Now, you have to tell us, for example, this is a panoramic view, the focus is on Felicity, the actors and the camera How far is the distance, how much emotional strength you need the actors to show, and we will leave the rest.

Simply put, the actors need the director to pass the ruler over so that they can adjust their performance.

Lan Li's explanation finally awakened Garis, "Aha! Is this the reason? Is this the reason why the performances are so rigid and improper?"

Does this mean "Rogue One" or "Godzilla"?

The actors on the scene were a little confused: Do you want to be sad? Do you want to refute? Can Garis speak at all!

"Of course, the actors themselves have important differences." Lan Li shrugged and made a joke. The subtext seemed to say: If it was me, it would be different. Inadvertently, he pushed Garis's words to "Godzilla", pretending that there was no problem with the performance of "Rogue One".

The relaxed and cheerful tone made everyone stunned, and then collectively laughed, especially Angus and May Bell, who were in the mist in the clouds, laughed extraordinarily or even a little too exaggerated.

Garris also chuckled, "Yes, that's for sure." Then he cut to the point, "Middle shot, I need the middle shot. The light will be locked on Lanly and Felicity. , So, I guess, Angus, your performance should be convergent; and Mei should put some outside, because you are at the far end of the middle shot, and the camera can’t catch your emotions, and, by the way, it’s against you The light is not spotlight but astigmatism. Your performance needs a focal point, otherwise the lens effect will be very...scattered?"

Garys himself is not sure.

"As for Lan Li and Felicity, I believe you will handle it well. The last opponent scene feels good, but the strength needs to be weakened." Garis is not good at pointing performances, so he didn't continue to say more.

After the explanation was over, Garris patted Lan Li's shoulder with some hesitation and embarrassment, but his movements were very stiff, "Thank you for your suggestion." Then he quickly turned and left, and the escaping back made people a little bit jealous.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit boring.

Angus and May Bell are still digesting, and what happened in just five minutes is so ups and downs that they are still a little unable to react.

Felicity carefully pondered over those conversations to understand the performance from the director’s overall perspective. This is still a bit profound and complicated for her, and she will not understand what it means for a while; but she can understand the effect of depth of field changes on the details of the performance. The performance of close-up and perspective is definitely different, and Lanly asked Garis specifically and asked Garis to complete the composition of the picture. Then, does this mean that in the performance of commercial films, actors need More cooperation with the director?

This is an idea to break the fixed concept!

The most common type of Hollywood commercial film is the lone hero, from Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise, to Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to Will Smith and Johnny Depp, Even the star-studded Robert Downey Jr., the personal charm of these heroes is the biggest reason for the success of the movie. Naturally, the core highlights of the entire movie are often concentrated on these absolute protagonists, and even let the whole story be for them. The charm of personality gave way to the destruction of the film's structural balance.

As for the director?

"Iron Cruise, Director of Flowing Water", the director's ability and charisma must serve the actors, and their roles are easily overlooked.

Now Lanly has broken such a rule. Obviously, it is not because the protagonist is Felicity, he tried to steal Felicity's lightning despicably, but to give the movie and the role more possibilities.

More importantly, this is the suitable way of performing for Felicity: in the trend of the big frame of performance, I find my own rhythm, and use her way to interpret the role of Qin-Esso, with a delicate and delicate expression. Rich emotions to show the growth of this character is like Cassian played by Lan Li.

"Lan Li, can we check the lines again?" Felicity raised his head and looked at Lan Li, "I mean, outside of the camera, I want to try to figure out the mood of Qin..."

"It just so happens that I also need to adjust the degree of Zhang Chi." Before Felicity finished speaking, Lan Li proactively agreed.

For Lan Li, he also needs adjustment.

Garris once again emphasized ~lightnovelpub.net~ He still hoped that Lanly could converge a little bit, perhaps because his thoughts were turned upside down, and he had forgotten the conversation before the argument; perhaps because deep in his heart he always thought Lan Li's performance created an overall imbalance.

Lan Li will not blame Garis for his outspokenness. In fact, in order to guide Felicity into the performance state, Lan Li did exert a little too much force. The tension of the whole mood was slightly excessive, and the details were too much. After being cumbersome, it is indeed possible to make a certain degree of adjustment.

For Felicity, she must reorganize her thinking:

How did Jean-Esso feel about her father, how did she respond to the rebels' questions, and how did she digest and understand the subsequent requests for help? What emotion did Jean-Esso feel about the resistance army itself, and what was her emotion when the resistance army "kidnapped" her over? Furthermore, in the face of Cassian's aggressive posture, what kind of character is she, resisting? dissatisfied? To swallow? And based on this, how should we grow in the future? How should the performance curve be?

The performance needs to be concise, direct, restrained and efficient, which is true; but if the context of the entire performance cannot be determined, then the character is still a piece of paper after all.
