Action movie is indeed a very special type. In the process of shooting, the body is running at a high speed, the muscles are tight to the extreme, and the brain has little time and space to think. Between concentration, it can only rely on instinct to respond. Any little negligence can lead to injury, which may even directly threaten the safety of life.
Therefore, when shooting action movies, it is difficult for actors to think. Generally, they perform in their own way and bring their true image into the roles. This is also the reason why the performance routine of action actors is often more limited, or even more rigid.
However, Langley can't perform as he is, because Hobbes is a completely different character.
After entering the "speed and passion 5" production group, Langley deeply felt his lack of experience. Even if he had performing experience in the west end of London and had finished shooting three works, he still lacked enough reference objects in his knowledge base to inject more things into his performance, especially in the extreme situation of fast duel.
In 1980, Robert De Niro performed "the angry bull". Although it was not an action movie, it was a boxing movie. In the shooting process, he was completely obsessed with the role, and really integrated with the role, so that he went too far in boxing. In one scene, he broke the ribs of rival actor Joe Pesci.
It is because of this enchanting performance that not only stimulates his own blood and violence, but also outlines the character's personality and edges. Robert handed over a perfect answer and successfully won his first Oscar.
Of course, at that time, Robert had already laid a solid foundation for his performance with a series of works such as "taxi driver", "Godfather 2" and "Deer Hunter". It can be said that he polished his acting skills to a perfect level, which achieved the success of "angry bull".
Today's lanli is too young and immature. It's really difficult for him to use his brain in extreme situations to outline the edges and delicacy of his characters.
The only thing he can do is to get rid of all the thoughts, all the ideas and all the frames in his mind, and make the characters as rough as possible. Then he can mobilize his fierce, aggressive and hard-blooded temperament, never flinch, and show Hobbes' determination, ruthlessness and straightforwardness in a tough way.
This is not a difficult task, because the opponent actor is van diesel, who wants to tear him apart.
He doesn't have any space to retreat, even a little negligence, which may let fan take the lead, and then? There will be no next, because fan will never show mercy.
From this point of view, he has to thank van. At least in this scene, it is because of fan's help that he can completely enter the play, integrate Hobbes's blood into the performance, and fight to the flesh and fight to the death. If this time against Paul, it is estimated that the two people's fighting style will be much softer.
At the beginning, the purpose of "speed and passion 5" was very simple, but he wanted to test the commercial film, and he liked the adrenaline burst of this series of films. Now, lanli feels that he has made a wise choice, which is an important stop on the road of exploring acting skills. In the future, maybe we should broaden our horizons and challenge more different types of films.
What's more, the whole shooting process is also very relaxed and pleasant, if you ignore van diesel. At least, he is still in the mood of joking, and he is sincere.
"Are you sure it's OK, Langley?" After laughing, Paul expressed his worry again.
Langley raised his head. He 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, Jordan and others standing beside him.
"The next fight, you have to lose." Paul said again, "if fan really works hard..."
Hobbes and Dominic this duel, according to the script trend, Hobbes lost; Not only that, in this play, Dominic lost control and almost killed Hobbes. If mia, his sister and Bryan's wife, didn't cry bitterly and wake up Dominic's reason at the last moment, Hobbes would die.
In other words, if fan really loses his mind and gives a hard hand to Lan Li, then no one can save Lan Li at the scene; Even if Neil h. Moritz is here, there's no way.
No matter whether the reason for making friends at the beginning is related to fan or not, the excellent friendship accumulated in the past two months is true. This reminds Langley of the "Pacific War" Gang.
"Paul, you've known fan for ten years. What kind of person is he?" Lan Li didn't give a positive answer, but asked the past, with a little ridicule in his words.
This question, on the contrary, baffled Paul. He never spoke ill of others behind their backs; What's more, before this conflict, Paul and fan had a good relationship, not intimate, but friends.
Seeing Paul's stupefied expression, Langley was dumbfounded and said comfortingly, "don't worry, I won't let go. In the worst case, it's always possible to save a small life. I hope this movie doesn't disappoint me. I'm risking my life to shoot it. "
Lanli was joking, but everyone couldn't laugh. The stern look made lanli feel helpless. He raised his hands to surrender. "Nathan, can you give me a cigarette?" Yu Guang noticed the frown of Jordana and Gail, and the expression of desire to talk and stop really makes people laugh.
There are rules inside the cast. Smoking is OK, but you have to go outside.
Now lanli suddenly wants to smoke, and is still indoors, which is against the rules; But think of the situation that lanli needs to face next, especially the joke that "risking his life in shooting" just now, which immediately makes people unable to stop acting, otherwise it will be inhuman.
Nathan didn't have any psychological burden, so he handed the cigarette to lanli, because he knew that lanli would not light it - he didn't carry a lighter at all.
Lanli took the cigarette, put it in his mouth and held it in his mouth. Then he looked at everyone with a smile. "If I remember correctly, you need to start preparing for the next scene. James has been in the back for a long time
James Corell, one of the chief directors of the cast. Last time, the person who informed Langley of the wrong working hours was James, who was directly involved in the whole thing.
However, after the prank failed, I heard that James had a hard time. On the surface, the title of the head of his crew remained unchanged, but his work authority was weakened by more than half, and he was marginalized in several plays. Now he is more responsible for trivial matters.
Just like now, when an actor is told to go for a rehearsal, generally speaking, it is the assistant who informs him, while the theater is waiting for the location of the set for specific explanation.
In addition, another person in charge of the drama, Julie airy, heard that she was directly transferred to the logistics department, and she didn't follow Rio.
Langley can be sure that Andy's writing is behind this.
When he heard lanli's words, James was not embarrassed at all. He thought he was hiding well, but he was found out by lanli. He could only walk over, "Jordan, we need to confirm the position of the camera, and Paul."
After that, James nodded to lenley. There are few actors in Hollywood who can confront fan head-on without falling behind. James didn't want to offend fan, but he didn't want to offend Langley.
"Lan Li." Paul couldn't laugh or cry, but he waved his hand indifferently. "You'd better not disturb my rest. Next, I need to do my best." With that, Lan Li held a cigarette in his mouth, slowly leaned back in his chair, and began to close his eyes. The appearance of seeing off made Paul shake his head. Without saying anything more, he turned away with his fellow actors.
Langley is serious. He really needs some time to relax.
Just as Paul was worried, no mistakes were allowed in the next play. He had to be fully prepared. If fan really went crazy and gave vent to his anger, he would never be caught. Therefore, what he needs most now is to conserve his energy to ensure that he will not be distracted in the process of shooting; The muscles also need to relax a little to make sure the nerves are not sluggish. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Fan strode back to his rest area, pushed the assistant who sent the towel away, and sat down with a knife. His whole body was full of anger, which made the make-up artist and assistant dare not approach easily.
Yu Guang glanced at the corner where Lan Li was. Looking up, he saw Ludacris sitting next to him. He was wearing earplugs and enjoying the music. Without a shooting task, he was enjoying it. Fan almost didn't change it. "Ice! What are you still doing? "
In the short fight just now, fan refreshed his cognition again and again.
I heard Paul say that lanli is a rock climber and can surf in his spare time. Fan didn't care too much. These are all sports with skill greater than strength. The style of duel should be similar to Paul. But I didn't expect that Lan Li actually knew how to use his strength. On the surface, the two men were tough, but the small range of hand movements and the detailed differences of moves pushed most of the strength back. Fan still felt numb.
This damn guy!
Fan clenches his teeth and stares at Lan Li who looks up to relax. He will never be soft in the next scene! He wants to let lanli bear the baptism of a storm, let lanli really understand what is called absolute power!
The fist clenched fiercely and made a clear explosion.
