The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 410: Long talk
"What? What happened?"
Seth was full of question marks, watching Renly and Will who walked into the room, feeling a bit unable to keep up with the rhythm. Lan Li is really too maverick. From the first moment of his debut today, Seth felt that common sense had been broken many times, and he couldn't understand Lan Li's every move.
Yes, he can understand Lan Li's ideas and concepts that he wants to communicate with the screenwriter, but why two people communicate separately? Then put all the other rival actors aside, what is this? Shouldn't the first thing an actor enters the crew is to cultivate a tacit understanding with the opponent's partner?
Judging from the number of scenes in the opponent's play, he and Lan Li have the most cooperation, and it is not a simple matter for the two to interpret the tacit understanding behind the friendship.
Judging from the chemistry of the rivalry, the cooperation between Anna and Renly is the most difficult. Anna will play the role of a psychologist and communicate with Adam, which is a bit embarrassing and tender.
Judging from the degree of gap in the opponent's play, Bryce is the object that Lan Li needs to communicate with, because she will play Adam's girlfriend-later betrayed Adam, and the two chose to break up. The emotional change between the couple is a very important part of the branch.
In other words, the whole movie is based on Lan Li as the core character, and then radiates a circle. Every link is closely related to Lan Li, but now, Lan Li has left everyone else aside and engages with Will. Communication, and even refused to let other actors join in, this is really weird!
Seth turned his head to look at Anna, Bryce and others, and cast questioning eyes, but everyone looked confused and could not answer. Seth glared at Bryce and seemed to say, "Should you not be his girlfriend? Even if you talk alone, it should be you in the past." This refers to the characters in the play.
Bryce spread her hands and looked at Seth speechlessly: How could she know?
Think about it again. From the time of telephone communication, Lan Li did not play cards according to common sense. Otherwise, how could any reasonable person be willing to be ordered to act in such a small-cost independent work, but also to shave. Bald head, in the case of the upcoming Oscars.
Thinking of this, Seth got a little comfort.
Nathan walked out, then shut the door of the room easily, blocking everyone's sight of exploration, turned around, and then found himself in the spotlight of the audience, which made him feel a little trembling, "Uh...I Go to the bathroom." Thirty-six measures, walking is the best policy.
Lan Li looked at the room. It was simple and generous, with log furniture, no extra decoration, simple and rustic; the bed/clothes were in cool blue, and some work supplies could be seen on the table, neatly placed. Neatly.
"Is this the same style as your own home?" Lan Li asked.
"Well, it's basically the same." Will nodded in affirmation, but then thought of something and added, "But these things are not mine, they are all repurchased."
Lan Li laughed blankly, sat down at the desk, but saw Will still standing stiffly not far from the entrance. In comparison, Lan Li is more like the host, and Will is the guest.
From this small detail alone, it can be seen that Will is not a personality that is good at socializing, and he is slower. Even in the brief contact just now, the two people talked very happily, but that was more due to the atmosphere of the scene, and Seth was also there, which was helpful.
"Please sit down." Lanly sent out an invitation kindly, "Before officially reading the script, I want to talk about the script with you, or, to be more precise, I want to talk about yourself with you."
Will paused slightly when he sat down, revealing a look of incomprehension.
Lanly had to explain, "Seth told me that this script was adapted from your personal experience." Will nodded and confirmed, "I believe that the details and plot of the script will be extremely true and true. It shows the whole process of facing cancer. But what I am more curious about is what kind of person you were before I learned that I had cancer."
The main line and core of the entire script of "Anti-Cancer Me" fall on the theme of "Treatment of Cancer", and all branches and plots are developed around this.
This is the advantage of the script, but it is also the disadvantage of the script.
The advantage lies in authenticity and delicacy. From the moment I learned about the cancer, to accept it calmly, to receive treatment, and a series of mood changes afterwards, the state of each plot is extremely true, without the slightest dramatization, and Will's is completely treated. The mental journey is presented. It can be said that this is a script that can impress the audience and resonate easily.
The disadvantage lies in the limitations of the role. Because all the focus is on cancer, and it also takes the initiative to show the impact of cancer on life, which makes the script not too much room to shape the role. Each character in the script is just a basic setting, each character extracts a more distinctive point of the character, and then develops it. Relatively speaking, the character is relatively simple.
From the perspective of screenwriters and directors, this has no effect. Because the dramatic tension of the work is enough, plus this is still a comedy work, some humorous jokes are added, a one-hundred-minute movie has not much room left, and a relatively concise script has an impact on the work. The degree of completion has the effect of adding points.
This is the case of the "anti-cancer me" of the previous life. The overall quality of the work is good, but for the actors, this is not good news because the space left for the actors is very limited.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance is really impressive, several explosive scenes have shown tension, which also won him a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a musical comedy. But those scenes have nothing to do with the character itself, but with cancer.
Simply put, what the audience sees is a person's emotional ups and downs and even loss of control when facing cancer, but they can't see Adam himself. This "one" can be replaced by anyone.
This also means that the actors lack a foothold when performing. The performance can be brilliant, but after all, it is just a mirage and a castle in the sky, and the role cannot withstand scrutiny.
Joseph's performance in "Anti-Cancer Me" has many commendable highlights, but from the standpoint of performance, in fact, his performance is not much different from the previous "500 Days with Summer" , It can almost be said that two similar characters are copied and pasted into different works. The only difference is that the things encountered by the two characters are different.
Or it can be said that the same person experienced the story of breaking up, and the film became "500 Days with Summer"; afterwards, he contracted cancer and filmed it as the "anti-cancer me".
But Lanly is not Joseph, and his performance and interpretation are completely different from Joseph. Lanly does not intend to copy Joseph's performance, let alone the performance of "500 Days with Summer".
Lan Li clearly knows that different people and different personalities will deal with cancer differently, so the difference in performance under emergencies is precisely the expression of the edges and corners of the personality.
Whether it is method-based or performance-based performance, in-depth understanding of roles is a very important part.
However, relatively speaking, methodists will pay more attention to it. Because the expression school focuses more on the precision of acting, and the method school pays more attention to the experience of the role, it can be understood that the former focuses on oneself and the latter focuses on the role-this description is somewhat general, but from a general perspective, There is indeed such a tendency.
Although Will did not describe too much in the script, he used himself as a model when he wrote. Therefore, if he wants to dig further into the role and make the entire gorgeous castle in the sky have a stable foundation, he must have a deeper understanding of Will.
It was Adam who got cancer, not Chu Jiashu who got cancer, nor was it that Lanly got cancer. It's Adam from Will Rissel.
"Me?" Will couldn't help but laughed. This question was really unexpected and made him a little flustered. "I'm a very ordinary person with no characteristics. I'm standing in front of you now. You should see it very well. clear."
Lan Li chuckled lightly, "Will~lightnovelpub.net~ relax, I am not a psychiatrist, nor your date, I just want to talk to you about the script." These ridiculous words made Will Relaxed a little bit, "I mean, if it is a character without any special features, then it is impossible for him to be the protagonist of the script, right? So, I need to learn more about the character."
Will was stunned. He could understand Lan Li's meaning, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't conceive the character when he wrote the script of "Anti-Cancer Me". Because all the plots are from personal experience, after the brain's second creation, if there is a **** in the pen, it will be written naturally... etc.
Thinking of this, Will realized Lan Li's true meaning at this time. But what is he going to say? He doesn't know what characteristics he has? As the protagonist of a movie, is there anything worth paying attention to? Also, what are the characteristics of Adam in his works?
Will was suddenly at a loss, because there was not too much of this in the script. On the whole, Adam is a calm person who insists on not giving up in a difficult situation, and always remains positive and optimistic...
Will suddenly realized that Adam was indeed a character without edges. With such an ordinary role as the male protagonist, is anyone willing to walk into the cinema to watch it?
This made Will stunned. Although he was a screenwriter and has always insisted on writing scripts, he has always been active in the field of TV dramas and radio. "The Anti-Cancer Me" is just his first movie script. Will's self-confidence began to decline sharply.
But Lan Li didn't know. In just a few seconds, Will's mind was already full of vicissitudes. He further explained, "I mean, what you like to do except writing."
