When people talk about Spain, they can't help but think of such words as passion, sunshine, olive oil, bullfighter, flamenco and carnival. It seems that they are enjoying the pleasure and beauty of vacation every day; Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean coast, is known as the Pearl of the Iberian Peninsula, attracting the attention from all over the world.
In addition to sunny beaches and eye-catching beauties, the city has a world-famous football club, a beautiful Mediterranean beach, and the most imaginative Gaudi in the history of architecture. The "century old unfinished building" shengjiatang is still one of the most famous architectural wonders in the world.
Compared with Rambla Avenue, which is full of tourists, Langley has always been fond of Gothic district. Originally, it was an ancient Roman fortress village, which was named after many Gothic buildings. Walking in this area, every building seems to be telling its story, every street seems to be carved with traces of historical frost, fingertips seem to touch the beating heart of the city.
Everyone can find their own way to feel Barcelona and find a reason to stay.
As night falls slowly, the summer air remains in the air for a long time, but the time for people has just begun. Department stores, clothing stores and so on have closed down, but the crowd on the streets is gradually increasing. Pubs and cafes are very busy. Even the Catalonia square is full of laughter and laughter. It seems that after a long day's sleep, the city finally wakes up.
Someone once joked that a day in Spain starts at 9 p.m. Lanli agrees.
"The day belongs to tourists, the night belongs to Spaniards, right?" Lan Li looked at the bustle of the small street in front of him, picked up sangria in his hand, and tasted the taste of alcohol soaked in the sweet and sour.
However, there are more than a dozen bars in the lane where one car is allowed to pass, and each bar is full of guests at this time. Even the steps at the door are no exception. Some people just take a bottle of beer and chat with their friends at the door of the shop. They don't seem to care whether they can find a place to stay.
All over the sky, the stars are reflected in the brilliant and hazy halo of street lamps, and the tide is rising and surging.
Rodriguez looked at the blue Li in front of him. He could not put the lid (tapas) into his mouth for a long time. He hesitated again and again, and finally put it back on the plate. "Yes, Spaniards always like the night, mysterious but not hot. People can't help but want to take off the mask and show their original appearance."
"That's why Spanish beauties are always different." Lan Li's smile at the bottom of his eyes slowly fell on the light radian of his mouth, his face covered with a layer of alcohol, adding a touch of laziness.
Rodriguez opened his mouth, then closed it, and then opened it again, but he closed it again. After several times of this, he still couldn't resist, "are you serious, lanli?"
"About what?" Blue Li eye tail a pick, smile ground asks a way, "about beauty?"? Of course, I can't be more serious. "
Rodriguez couldn't change. "I mean, you're going to lie in the coffin all day. Are you serious?"
Just now, Langley solemnly asked Rodriguez how to find a funeral home in Barcelona. He said that before the shooting of "live burial", he needed to make a field investigation and planned to discuss with the funeral home to let him lie in a nailed coffin for one night. Rodriguez didn't feel it at first. The more he heard it, the more creepy he was. He just felt that his chin was about to dislocate. But as a client, Langley was talking about the night in Spain! Rodriguez felt a little out of breath.
"Of course." "If I'm still in New York, I'd like to lie in the graveyard for a night. You know, bury the coffin under the ground and cover it with a thin layer of soil. No one would want to suffocate, would they?" Lenley himself also chuckled, "however, now is in Barcelona, my Spanish level is just average, I don't want to have an accident. So, the cemetery is gone. "
Rodrigo looked at the wristband expression on lanli's face. He could not help pulling his collar, but found that he was wearing a T-shirt with a round neck tonight. Why did he feel that his head began to lack oxygen?
"Langley, are you sure?" Rodriguez's brain is in a mess. He knows that Langley is an excellent actor, which is why he gave up Ryan Reynolds. But... He didn't expect Langley to be so bold, even crazy.
Langley put down sangria in his hand and asked jokingly, "Rodrigo, have you ever experienced that kind of experience? When you enter a narrow space, you feel out of breath, such as the elevator or the bathroom. You know it's a place without danger, but deep inside you are yelling and shouting, trying to escape as hard as you can? "
Rodriguez felt thirsty. Lanli's lips stained with red wine glittered with enchanting red luster, as if a vampire had just finished his meal. The dangerous dark smell made him swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his heart beat rapidly, pounding his eardrum and banging He had no way to answer, but shook his head in the negative.
"Neither do I." Lanli's lips are outlined as an elegant arc. "You see, when we talk on paper, we can understand this phenomenon. It's called claustrophobia. From a psychological point of view, it seems that all the reasons are right. But when we really fall into this fear, all theories don't work, because the parties can't control themselves. " It's the same with Paul buried alive. "
As Langley analyzed, Paul's role is divided into two levels. If only to meet the standard of Ryan, Langley can now put into the performance, he has absolute confidence, can do better than Ryan; But if he wants to further improve the quality of the performance, he must personally feel the despair, the feeling of death's hands slowly tightening on his throat, the feeling of being trapped in an inch no matter how he struggles.
In fact, it's hard to express this kind of subtle difference in simple language. Even professional film critics and acting teachers can't express it in words. However, in the process of watching the film, the delicate feeling of breaking through the shackles of the large screen brings a completely different viewing experience to the audience, even a world of difference.
Expressionism and Methodism actually represent people's two understandings of performance. The former represents the traditional academic point of view. They firmly believe that the so-called actors must be competent for different roles. They can present different roles and different connotations through the methods, techniques and rhythms of acting skills. The boundary between reality and drama is very clear. They can enter the drama at any time Acting at any time, acting and personal life are two independent parts. Performance is a skill that is constantly honed. The real power should be "one person, one thousand faces".
The latter represents the view of new era and new trend. They believe that to play a role, one has to integrate into it, blur the boundary between reality and drama, or even go crazy, give up all the shackles of skills, and really let the power of soul burst out the essence of performance. Generally speaking, as long as an actor plays a good role, this is success. It is very likely that once he enters the play, he will never be able to play again, and there will be no wonderful performance after a peak, but it doesn't matter, because he gives life to that role, even if there is only one.
Lanli is now trying to combine the two ways of performance, so that the Expressionists can get off the track a little bit and increase more power; At the same time, it puts some restrictions on the methodology to make sure that the expression of emotion can accurately outline the role.
Lanli is not the first to make such an attempt. Al Pacino began to try it at the end of his acting career. However, the effect is hard to say satisfactory, because the core ideas of the two performing styles are contradictory, one is about control, the other is about out of control, the other is about soberness, and the other is about loss. Even Al, the performance effect is not satisfactory. The way he hesitates and binds his hands and feet makes him lose his sharpness and texture, which is disappointing.
Apart from Al, many other actors have tried to break the shackles and become the first person to make history. Unfortunately, it is still a perfect theory until the rebirth of Langley.
Lanli is not a genius, creating history is too far away, he is not even sure whether his acting talent really exists, he just wants to explore his own style on the road of acting.
During the "Pacific War", most of his performances were expressionistic. There was only one scene, that is, in the ninth episode, he witnessed the cry of a baby and hugged the death of a woman. For the first time, he really felt the struggle, pain, confusion and sadness in Eugene's heart, which was a collapse of faith. The heart has been shattered, but the appearance is as calm as water.
If he has a chance, he is very willing to talk with Eugene sletcher. What he is more curious about is how Eugene came out later, how to return to the normal track of life, or that Eugene never really came out.
In that scene, the combination of expressionism and methodology is very vague, just like a flash of inspiration. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Langley really felt the difference in performance. The balance node between out of control and control is real. Therefore, this also strengthened his determination to continue to try!
"Buried alive" is such an opportunity; The first step is to truly understand Paul's feelings about to be buried alive.
Rodriguez felt that his brain could not turn around. "Langley, I know you want to give a wonderful performance, and that's what I want. But... But it's just a movie with an investment of less than three million dollars. You're only paid 100000 dollars. God, it's not worth it“
Langley laughed brightly. "So, man, are you suggesting that you want to raise my salary“
