Chapter 205

This kind of feeling is a bit subtle - your favorite movie, now I take the initiative to come to you and hope you can play in this work. The mixed taste surges in my chest, and I can't find the right words to describe it for a moment.

On the one hand, the inner ecstasy gushes out, every muscle of the body is trembling slightly, your efforts, your struggle, your work has finally been recognized, and it comes from your favorite works; On the other hand, if your performance is not enough to meet the expectation, if the director gives up cooperation after talking, if the quality of your work is not as good as expected due to your acting, is that tantamount to destroying a good work by yourself?

Before that, the "Pacific War" and "buried alive" were both the performance opportunities that lanli took the initiative to win, which can be said to be the result of lanli's efforts after careful selection; But today, opportunities come to us automatically, and it's still a work that I love from my heart. The wonder and beauty of rebirth are more real than ever.

"So, this is a movie about the true face of love." Lan Li pressed down the confused thoughts in his mind and said with a smile.

Drake was slightly surprised. Before that, in order to seek investment, he had said the script proposal dozens of times, but everyone's focus was on long-distance love, and no one realized his real purpose of writing the script until now; But on second thought, Drake didn't seem so surprised. His intuition was right. Langley was not an ordinary actor.

"Yes." Drake nodded and gave a positive reply, "what I want to explore is that in many cases, life is not so much dog blood and drama, there is no right or wrong in love, just gradually away, they try hard, they try, they insist, but they still can't go to the end. Not every love can go to the end, and not every love is lost to reality. "

It's not just soap operas. When many movies describe love, they are used to creating drama with a "surprise", such as incurable disease, such as car accident, such as financial difficulties, such as having an affair, such as meeting a scum man, and so on. But a lot of times, in real life, there are many powerless times, the death of love is often silent, before they realize it, everything is over.

"Distance is a kind of reality. To be more precise, love is neither right nor wrong, nor win or lose. It's just that love is integrated into life, or love makes life After lanli's words were spoken, it was obvious that Drake's expression faltered slightly. There were mixed emotions, some excitement and some excitement in his deep eyes.

Drake was restless because of the conflict that he could not express, and his emotion was clearly written on his face. That kind of hot and restless exultation made Drake look like he was sitting on a hot volcanic rock.

A smile of empathy flashed through Langley's eyes. He could feel that Drake was a real movie lover. Maybe Drake is not a genius like Paul Thomas Anderson, but he is definitely a loyal and enthusiastic fan.

"Does the film have a name?" Lanli asked. All his thoughts just now are just his guesses. What if his guesses are wrong?

Drake opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he was so excited that he choked on his saliva. He coughed violently, picked up the latte in front of him, and drank two mouthfuls of it. This was a bit more relaxed. "Crazy love.". I'm going to call it love crazy. You know, everything seems crazy from the beginning to the end

right enough.

"Lan Li." Drake put down his coffee cup, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "I know it's just a love movie, and I'm not Woody Allen; I also know that this is a small cost independent film, I can't pay you too much. But, but Drake saw that lanli had plans to speak, thought that lanli would refuse himself, immediately raised his hand to stop lanli, and quickly said, "I promise, this is a wonderful work! And the test of actors is very severe! "

Because he was too anxious, Drake's words began to gasp, "as you said, I want to explore more about the nature of love through this film, showing the most real face. Therefore, the actor is very important, I need you to show the helplessness and reality in love, not only can not arouse the audience's antipathy, but also call the audience's resonance. That kind of passion, that kind of struggle, that kind of heat, that kind of... Er, that kind of sadness, that kind of confusion... I mean, I need the actors to show their complex emotions completely, and the audience can read out their own answers without lines modification or camera language hint! "

In a hurry, Drake finally finished, although a bit messy, but at least not interrupted, "I'm here, sincerely invite you to play the hero of this work."

As Drake's voice falls, he looks at lanli in front of him. His mood goes up and down. It's like a plane with turbulence and cold current in winter. No one knows whether this flight can reach the terminal safely.

Drake is sure that Langley is the hero he has been looking for, and he is sure as never before.

Although today's "burying alive" is Drake's first time to know this young new actor, his performance on the big screen is completely convincing. His explosive but delicate performance shows the emotional tension incisively and vividly. Every audience can clearly and deeply feel the fear, panic and despair of being in a desperate situation.

The most important thing is that blue Li's dark brown eyes are full of drama. Only one look is needed to hide the story. That's exactly what Drake asked of Jacob.

"Crazy love" is a script adapted from Drake's own true story. If the actor has enough understanding of his life experience and family background, it would be better. These invisible details can give the character more delicate touch. Through the short conversation just now, Drake's hesitant mood was completely determined, that is, Langley! He's the only one!

Of course, the appearance advantage of lanli is the icing on the cake. Although it is not the key factor, it is also important. After all, no one wants to see a fat man with curly hair falling in love on the big screen. This is not a "drinking life" about the middle-aged crisis. The appearance of Paul Giamatti can easily arouse people's resonance. This is a young love story full of youth.

Looking at lanli in front of him, Drake's inner fear became more and more intense. All this happened so fast that he didn't even have time to make further preparations. He couldn't wait to send an invitation to lanli in a hurry. Only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling of worrying about gain and loss after discovering the treasure.

What if Langley refuses? What if Langley is not interested? What if Langley thinks the play is boring? What if the subject matter is too boring? What if lanli's schedule doesn't match? What if Langley didn't want to make an independent movie at all? What if Langley's agent wants him to shoot hundreds of millions of big productions? What if Lan Li says a lot to the lion?

But... But lanli is the only one in his mind. If he missed lanli, what would he do next? Will he never find the right actor?

Numerous mixed thoughts surged in Drake's mind; At the same time, Lan Li, who is sitting opposite, is thinking about this proposal, which is also a surprise for him.

From the audience's point of view, Langley likes the movie "crazy love"; But from an actor's point of view?

Just as Drake said, Jacob and Anna are two very special characters. They don't have many edges and brilliance. They are the most ordinary college students. They are neither geniuses nor geeks. They are just two ordinary people that can be seen everywhere in daily life. This is also the basis of arousing the audience's inner resonance.

What's special about these two characters is that they must fully show the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of love. In the absence of edges and corners, it means that actors need to support the skeleton and flesh of the whole character with acting skills, giving the film a fresh soul.

However, "crazy love" is different from "buried alive"“ "Buried alive" has been pushed to an extreme disaster corner. If the performance is not strong enough, the sense of reality will not be enough. Moreover, this is a one-man show, and all the tension and sparks fall on one person's shoulders; But "crazy love" has room for tolerance, because the story of the whole script is full enough, and the plot and characters can complement each other.

The story span of "crazy love" is very wide, nearly five years, in 90 minutes to present five years of life, a careless, the film will become a running book.

If the performance fails to reach the standard, the audience will feel that there is not enough bedding for the transition of emotion, which makes people confused. Although the audience can feel the emotion from the ups and downs of the script, which is enough to understand the director's intention, it is not enough to understand the unique emotion of the character, let alone trigger the reflection after the movie.

However, if the performance endows the characters with life, the resonance between the characters and the plot will easily bring the audience into the story, and easily feel the conflict and tension in the script. The explosive force of the trivial life is enough to shock the soul. It's just like the "Youth" later.

There is no doubt that "crazy love" also puts forward super high requirements for actors, which will be a severe test. But

"Lanli, you are the one to play this role!" Drake opens his mouth again, interrupting Langley's thought. His unswerving eyes are full of determination. His enthusiasm is burning, expressing his determination.
