The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 287: Not to be missed
Action movies are indeed a very special type. During the filming process, the body moves at high speeds, the muscles are tightened to the extreme, and the brain has almost no time and space for thinking. With full concentration, it can only rely on instinct/ability to respond. Any slight negligence can lead to injury-this kind of injury may even directly threaten the safety of life.
Therefore, when shooting action movies, it is difficult for actors to think. They usually perform in their true colors, bringing the true image of themselves into the role. This is also the reason why the acting routines of action actors are often limited and even rigid.
However, Lan Li cannot perform in his true colors, because Hobbes is a completely different character.
After entering the "Speed and Excitement/Love 5" crew, Lan Li deeply felt his lack of experience. Even if he had performance experience in the West End, even if he had finished shooting three works, his knowledge base was still Lack of enough reference objects, inject more things into his performance, especially in the extreme situation of fast duels.
In 1980, Robert De Niro performed "Angry Bull". Although it is not an action movie, it is a boxing movie. When punching, he overpowered, and in a scene, he broke the ribs of his opponent actor Joe-Pesci.
It is precisely because of this immersive performance that not only inspired his own blood and violence, but also outlined the character's personality and edges and corners. Robert handed over a perfect answer sheet and successfully won his first place. Oscar actor statuette.
Of course, at that time, Robert had already laid a solid performance foundation with a series of works such as "Taxi Driver", "The Godfather 2", and "Deer Hunter". It can be said that he has polished his acting skills to the point of proficiency. Achieved the success of "Angry Bull".
The current Lan Li is too young and too immature. It is really difficult for him to run his brain under extreme circumstances and outline the edges and finesse of the character.
The only thing he can do is to get rid of all the thoughts, all the thoughts, and all the frames in his mind, to make the character as thick as possible, and then to mobilize the ferocious, combative, tough and iron-blooded temperament, and never shrink back. Show Hobbes' decisiveness, cruelty, and straightforwardness in a head-to-head way.
This is not a difficult task, because the opposing actor is Fan, Van Diesel who can't wait to tear him apart.
He didn't have any room to retreat, even a little negligence, could allow Fan to take the lead, and then...? There will be no more, because Fan will never show mercy.
From this perspective, he must thank Fan. At least in this scene, it was precisely because of Fan's help that he was able to fully enter the scene, integrating Hobbes' blood into the performance, **** to the flesh, and using deadly moves. If it is against Paul at this time, it is estimated that the fighting style of the two people will be much softer.
At the beginning, the purpose of filming "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" was very simple, but to test the waters of commercial films, and he liked the adrenaline burst of the series. Now, Lan Li feels that he has made a wise choice. This is an important stop on the road of exploring acting. In the future, perhaps we should broaden our horizons and challenge more different types of movies.
What's more, the whole shooting process is also very relaxed and enjoyable, if you ignore Van Diesel, who is on his back. At least, he is still in the mood to joke, and sincerely.
"Len Li, are you sure it's okay?" After smiling, Paul expressed his concern again.
Lanly raised his head. He originally thought Paul was asking about the wound on his face, but Paul's expression didn't look like it. Not only Paul, but also Gail, Jordana and others standing next to him.
"The next duel, you must lose." Paul said again, "If Fan Zhen makes a cruel move..."
In this matchup between Hobbs and Dominic, according to the trend of the script, Hobbs lost again; not only that, in this scene, Dominic also lost control and almost killed Hobbs. If it weren't for Mia, his sister and Brian's wife, who screamed heartily and awakened Dominic's sanity at the last moment, then Hobbs would be dead.
In other words, if Fan really loses his mind and beats Ren Li, no one on the scene can save Ren Li; even if Neil H-Moretz is here, there is no way.
There is a faint warm current flowing from the bottom of Lan Li's heart, regardless of whether the reason for the initial friendship is related to Fan, but the hard friendship accumulated over the past two months of hard shooting is genuine. This reminded Lan Li of the group of friends in the "Pacific War".
"Paul, you have known Fan for ten years. Is he that kind of person?" Lan Li did not answer directly, but asked back, with a little ridicule in his words.
This question actually stumped Paul. He has never been the type who speaks ill of others behind his back; what's more, before this conflict, Paul and Fan had a good relationship, not close, but always friends.
Seeing Paul’s stunned expression, Lanly laughed dumbly and said comfortingly, “Don’t worry, I won’t get caught with it. In the worst case, it’s always okay to keep a small life. I hope this movie won’t let me down. I risked my life to shoot."
Lan Li was obviously joking, but everyone couldn't laugh. The stern eyes made Lan Li a little helpless, and he raised his hands to express surrender, "Nathan, can you give me a cigarette?" He and Gail's frowning brows, the expression of hesitant expressions really made people laugh.
There are regulations within the crew. Smoking is allowed, but you must go outside.
Now Lan Li is about to smoke suddenly and he is still indoors, which is against the rules; but thinking about the situation Lan Li will face next, especially the ridicule Lan Li just now, "risking his life to shoot", this suddenly It makes people unable to star in and stop, otherwise it would be unkind.
Nathan didn't have any psychological burden, so he passed the cigarette directly to Lan Li, because he knew that Lan Li would not light it-he didn't carry a lighter at all.
Lan Li took the cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth, held it in his mouth, and then looked at everyone with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you also need to start preparing for the next scene. James. It’s been awkward to stand behind for a long time."
James Corell, one of the chief executives of the crew. Last time, the person who notified Lanly of the wrong working hours was James, and he was directly involved in the whole thing.
However, after the mischief did not succeed, I heard that James’ life was difficult. On the surface, his title of chief of the crew remained unchanged, but his job authority was mostly weakened, and he was immediately marginalized in a few episodes, and now it’s even more. Mostly responsible for trivial matters.
Just like now, when the actors are notified of rehearsal positions, usually the assistant will notify them, and the drama will wait for the location on the set to give specific explanations.
In addition, another person in charge of the play, Julie Erie, heard that he had been transferred directly to the logistics department, and did not come to Rio de Janeiro at all.
Lan Li can be sure that there is Andy's handwriting behind this.
Hearing Lan Li’s words, James was not embarrassed at first, and he was immediately embarrassed. He originally thought he was hiding well, but he was actually spotted by Lan Li. He could only take advantage of the situation and walked over, "Jordana, we Need to confirm the camera position, and Paul."
After speaking, James also nodded to Lan Li. There are not many actors in Hollywood who can confront Fan head-on but never let go. James didn't want to offend Fan, but he didn't want to offend Lan Li.
"Lan Li." Paul looked at the nonchalant Lan Li with tears and laughter, but Lan Li waved his hand indifferently, "You'd better not disturb me to rest. Next, I need to go all out." After that, Lan Li With a cigarette in his mouth, he slowly leaned against the back of his chair, and began to close his eyes to rest up. The appearance of seeing off the guests made Paul shook his head, without saying anything, turning and leaving with his colleagues and actors.
Lan Li is serious, he really needs some time to buffer and rest.
As Paul worries, there is absolutely no room for mistakes in the next scene. He must be fully prepared. If Fan really goes mad and desperately vents his anger, he will definitely not catch it. Therefore, what he needs most now is to regenerate his energy and make sure that he will not lose his mind during the shooting; the muscles also need to relax a little bit to ensure that the reaction nerves are not sluggish. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fan strode back to his rest area and pushed the assistant who had brought the towel directly away. He immediately sat down with a cross knife, a violent and angry aura exuding all over his body, which made the makeup artist, assistant and others all feel angry. Don’t dare to approach easily ~lightnovelpub.net~ I glanced at the corner where Lan Li was, and looked up and saw Ludacris sitting next to him. He was wearing earplugs, listening to music, and not taking pictures. Under the circumstances of the mission, he looked like he was enjoying it, which made Fan almost didn't change it in one breath, "Ice cube! What are you doing stupidly!"
In the short confrontation just now, Fan refreshed his cognition time and time again.
I heard Paul say before that Lanly is a rock climber and he can surf in his spare time. Fan doesn't care much at all. These are sports with more skill than strength, and his sparring style should be similar to Paul's. However, he did not expect that Lan Li actually knows how to use force to fight. On the surface, the two people are head-to-head, but the small movements of the hands and the detailed differences in the moves push most of the strength back. Fan still feels muscles. Tingling.
Damn it!
Fan gritted his teeth tightly and stared sharply at Lan Li, who raised his head to relax and rest. In the next scene, he will never soften! He wants Lan Li to bear the baptism of a violent storm and let Lan Li truly understand what absolute power is!
The fist was clenched fiercely, and there was a clear burst of noise.
