In the last life, Adrian Brody played the role of "detached" Henry.
Adrian is indeed an excellent actor, and he and Henry's temperament have a natural fit, he will be that melancholy, thin, confused state show incisively and vividly, leaving a deep impression.
But Adrian, who was born in American acting system, learned more from Methodists in his performance; Moreover, he is an actor of his own character, and has never been able to get rid of the shackles of his own appearance. His "detached" performance has never been able to surpass that of the "pianist". The difference lies in the details of the emotional changes, Adrian's sadness and gloom always stay in the same dimension, no change, no depth, no level.
For the layman, there is no reason for this kind of detail, and the audience can't see the specific difference; But the viewing experience will be very different, just like the sea. The surface looks calm, but the ups and downs of the waves are very different. Standing on the shore and standing in it, the effect is very different.
Only the real academic can taste the depth and skills.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is the ultimate challenge of Expressionism!
It's the ultimate challenge, at least for the current Langley. Perhaps, in the future, Langley will encounter more difficult roles and more severe challenges, but at this moment, the difficulty of Henry bacht's role is the limit that imagination can reach. Even if Langley does all he can, he will not be able to achieve the ideal perfect state.
The difficulty of performance is far beyond the pressure and tension brought by "buried alive", let alone other works; Moreover, this time, it is not the ignorant exploration and pursuit of the Methodists, but the Expressionists, the perfect Expressionists' acting skills. There is no doubt that this is the ultimate test of what lanli had learned before.
This is lanli's best professional field, but it is also a height and depth that has never been explored. Even west end or Broadway plays may not be so difficult.
Because the characteristic of the film is that it takes advantage of the lens to enlarge all the details. Compared with the theater stage, it can almost be said that it is placed under the microscope. Therefore, the actor will have nowhere to escape, and any detailed changes will be presented to the audience.
If the force is too strong, it will lead to too much craftsmanship, instead of the sense of reality of the film, rigidly adhere to the dramatic effect of the stage, and then affect the audience's viewing effect, such as the film "fence".
If the force is not enough, it will lead to breaking away from the creative intention of the director, unable to give the role more soul, and naturally unable to cause more thinking. The "detachment" of the last life has more or less such problems.
In other words, with the control of details, the level, change and depth of emotion, every link gives full play to the essence of control, which is the acme of Expressionism.
This... This is so exciting! Even if it was just in his mind, all the cells in lanli's body were excited.
Sure enough, as an actor and as an audience, the perspective is quite different.
"Detached." Tony said the name of the movie, with a look of satisfaction that could not be concealed. "More accurately, what I want to present is not a state of struggle, but a state of detachment. It's as if the soul is separated from the body and looks at the mediocrity of the world, but the body can still feel pain and suffering. "
"It's like a psycho." Woody sat down and finally did not make complaints about it.
Tony didn't mind. He nodded and laughed. "Yes, it's like a psycho."
Lanli's thoughts came back. In a few seconds, his mind was full of vicissitudes. "I've never felt so deeply that I'm beyond my body, but my existence is so real."
This sentence is in French.
In the field of philosophy, France and Germany do have the leading research level in the world. Even in Britain, the Department of Philosophy in Cambridge is no longer prosperous. Of course, Langley can translate it into English, but in terms of classical literature and philosophical speculation, words in French and German are different in details. If you want to taste the original flavor, you'd better use the original language.
Tony was stunned, didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and then looked at woody for help. Woody rolled his eyes angrily, "it's not what I said. You should ask the person concerned." But after complaining, woody began to translate, and his eyes finally fell on Langley, "Albert Camus?"
Lan Li nodded in affirmation.
Albert Camus is the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957. He is also one of the most famous representatives of existentialism and Absurd Philosophy in France.
If put in the last life, Lan Li did not know these contents at all, because in the domestic education system, philosophy is obviously not a fragrant bun loved by everyone; But in this life, philosophy course is the content that every noble must learn. In the past, Lan Li did not understand the reason, but now he finally understood it.
Many times, those knowledge are integrated into the blood, change a person's thinking, change a person's temperament. Even if this knowledge has disappeared from the mind, its influence is everywhere. It gives a person a different view of things. This is the essence of learning.
Now, when he goes to watch the movie "detachment", his feelings will be different from those of the last life.
"Albert Camus?" Tony repeated, chewing carefully, then nodding with satisfaction. "It seems that I need to do my homework when I go back."
Tony did not pretend to understand, but holding an open-minded attitude of learning, conscientiously took out a pen, and then recorded it in his notebook. It's funny, but no one will laugh at him.
After that, he raised his head and looked at Lan Li again, "how about, are you willing to play in this work?"
Tony couldn't wait for him. He didn't leave any time for him to think at all. He was just like a child who didn't know what to do.
For some people, this is actually a very offensive move, do not understand what social etiquette; But lenley has a little bit of admiration, just like woody, the only thing they care about is the film, that's all.
Looking at the childish Tony, lanli suddenly wanted to play a prank, so he leaned back and looked like he was waiting for the price. "We still have a lot of problems to discuss, such as the movie payment."
Lanli thought that his arrogant provocation would irritate Tony; Or woody.
After all, in front of woody and Tony, who are two senior people, Langley can't be ranked at all. It's totally out of his capacity to still be choosy here.
But did not expect, Tony is a brilliant smile, happily patted the table, especially happy smile, "whatever you open. As long as you want to play. "
Lan Li was slightly surprised, but the surprise only stayed for a moment at the bottom of his eyes, and then turned into a helpless smile, flickering faintly and self mocking, "are you sure?"
Tony nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I'm sure."
Although his contact with lanli is only a short time, details decide everything. He knows that lanli can't be the kind of actor with big mouth. Lanli is just putting forward his normal requirements as an actor.
Apart from the previous performance experience of two consecutive independent films, only from today's contact, Langley won Carl's respect. Langley listened to his explanation, and even knew that Albert Camus accurately grasped the essence of the film.
This kind of actor can't be found in the "20 million club". He has shown enough professional attitude, not to mention that he is only 21 years old. Even those actors who have been wallowing in Hollywood for more than 10 or 20 years don't necessarily have this kind of concentration.
What's more, Tony believes in Woody's vision. Pioneer Village, resident performance, waiters... These details are enough to piece together the vivid characters in Woody's eyes, which is the beginning of their appearance here today.
"Well, three hundred thousand dollars, and then five percent of the box office and five percent of the disc sales. What do you think? " Tony tapped on the table and said dryly, in the understatement, the offer was amazingly generous.
Langley doesn't know what the budget of the "detached" crew is, but it's estimated that it won't be more than "buried alive". It's even possible that like Drake, Tony will pay out of his own pocket, so the funds will be even more stretched.
Now, with a big wave of his hand, Tony offers 300000 yuan directly.
This price is not very high compared with the one million to three million pay scale of blue rites, but it is the highest paid piece of blue rite so far. It has been conceivable that Andy has make complaints about such a low paid work.
But that's not all.
Five percent of the box office bonus, such treatment has raised blue to the level of film producer, you can see Tony's attention; Moreover, Tony also knows that the box office of "detached" is expected to be very bad, so he has scored another 5% of the sales of video discs, which is incredible.
Among Hollywood's top actors, there are no few who have the ability to pay dividends at the box office, but there are few who have the ability to pay dividends on video sales.
Because peripheral sales is the real core of a production company's profit, which is a link that no one is allowed to touch. Even Steven Spielberg, unless he is a work of DreamWorks and other production companies, can't share the peripheral profits.
However, Tony just threw it out lightly. At such a cost, it was so generous that lanli was shocked.
