Chapter 447

The atmosphere of the whole crew is dignified. Even today, even though Langley and Seth really stand in the bathroom and begin to listen to the explanation of the play, even though the camera group and lighting group have been busy for nearly two hours and have done all kinds of tests... But, we still can't believe it.

It happened.

Oscar nominees, who were absent from the awards ceremony, stayed in Seattle to shoot the shaved head part; Too deep into the play, the physical and mental conditions are both at the bottom, and the tit for tat with the media has the upper hand, even triggered the dramatic development of the plot; Langley hall, 21, is a comedy.

If these factors are put together, any two of them will be magic enough. But now, all the factors are piled up and detonated at the same time. Even if it is inconceivable, it is not enough to describe the inner shock, which makes people think of "Pan God's Labyrinth".

Especially after just experiencing the storm, imagine that today is the day of the Oscars. The eyes of the whole world are focused on the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, while they are in a narrow bathroom, ready to see Langley shave their hair.

It's really unsettling.

The crew members could not help but exchange their eyes with each other. They seemed to have a suspicious look in their eyes, "is this true?" However, when you see Lan Li, who is devoting himself to the exchange of drama affairs, you will know that all this is so real and truly thrilling.

"Langley, are you sure you don't need to think about it again?" Jonathan - Levin inexplicably some softhearted down, the end of the desire to talk, after all, or asked.

His eyes fell on lanli's curly golden brown short hair, elegant and uninhibited, thick and lush, inadvertently sketching the lines of his face. But next, the hair will be shaved off and completely gone.

Lenley looked up slightly and glanced at Jonathan. "What if I regret it?"

Jonathon choked, and Seth, who was standing beside him, was also full of panic, which made the corners of lanli's mouth pull, showing a banter smile. "You should finish the shooting of the play before I regret it." Lanli knew that he would not regret it. Now he was not nervous at all. "Have the camera seats been set? Are you sure? "

"Yes, I did." Jonathan nodded and let out a long, nervous breath.

Because there is only one chance to shoot this scene, there is no room for error, and there is no possibility of recurrence, so in the past two hours, they have conducted many tests to ensure that the shooting effect of the director can be achieved, but the position of the camera will not be exposed in the lens. At the same time, they can meet the needs of different angles. In short, their fault tolerance space is zero.

Once it's wrong. Then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jonathan turned to Seth and cast an inquiring look. Seth shrugged. "Believe me, I don't need to be prepared." Although this is the moment he and will experienced, but now to see blue Lilly repeat, and there are practical factors, Seth felt that his shock will not decrease at all. He just needs to perform in his own way and follow the rhythm of lenley's performance.

As for lanli.

Jonathan and Seth looked over, and then neither of them spoke. Because they know that Langley is trustworthy and they don't have to worry about it at all.

"Lanli, when you're ready, give me a signal." With that, Jonathan turned and went back to the back of the monitor. The official shooting of the play entered the countdown.

Lan Li stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself quietly. His brows were slightly raised and he said, "I look like a mess now, don't I? Do you think people who have just received chemotherapy three times will be in such a bad state? Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Or does it prove that I'm too weak? I need to start going to the gym? "

Seth stood beside him, dumbfounded, not only because Langley was having a serious conversation with him, as Adam; It's also because the content of lanli's speech involves performance. He is not worried about his health, but about whether his State conforms to the reality of performance.

Seth's eyes widened. "No one cares. This movie is a piece of shit. Even if it's worth eight million, it's still not that important. Randy - damn it - hall, don't make me feel any more weird. "

"Eight million dollars worth of shit." Lan Li didn't say anything more, just pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded meaningfully, but the irony was self-evident, which made Seth turn his eyes.

Lanli looks back in the mirror. The most important thing in the play is the sense of humor. Although the laugh points of "cancer fighting me" are basically on Seth, and most of them are brewed by lines, the rhythm of the performance is very special, which is obviously different from the plot movie.

Comedy is not so special for a drama actor with a formal education background.

In the drama industry, Shakespeare's four comedies are undoubtedly the most well-known, including "everyone is happy", "midsummer night's dream", "merchant of Venice" and "Twelve Nights". However, they are classified as comedies not because of how humorous or funny they are, but because the theme and writing contain pure happiness, The joy of that joy was inspiring.

Therefore, in the process of stage drama performance, the performance framework of comedy and tragedy is actually the same. The difference is that comedians need more details such as body language, voice and intonation to complete the rendering of happy atmosphere. But in terms of the performance itself, actors don't need to make too many adjustments.

Comparatively speaking, Italian comedy is the most special. Generally speaking, Italian comedy is recognized as the most profound, cultural and quality. In Italian comedy works, the script and characters are often given some exaggerated, funny, absurd and funny temperament, which gives the actors more space to play and form their own unique performance style, which is quite different from tragedy.

However, this kind of performance is very special. It is only suitable for the stage. If it is put on the film or TV screen, it will be too deliberate and impetuous.

The way of comedy performance on the stage is out of place for the film. Strictly speaking, comedy performance is not about control or release, but about interpretation. It's just that everyone interprets humor in different ways.

Now, the reference object in his mind is the "Saturday night live" style black humor.

Apart from the imitation, funny and make-up jokes, what "Saturday night live" is good at is the serious cold humor. The irony, ridicule and ridicule revealed between the lines create a huge gap. In fact, it's similar to the style of British comedy movies, except that Britain is sharper, more withdrawn and more black.

This kind of performance has strict requirements for small details such as expression, intonation and eyes. It seems to be serious, but the details are absurd and uninhibited. The sense of difference between words and hearts can often bring unexpected laughter results.

It's not Charlie Chaplin's use of rich body language to make jokes, nor Kim Carrey's use of exaggerated expression language to make jokes. It's more of an introverted way of expression, which not only requires the audience to calm down to experience, but also requires the performer to have enough talent.

Especially the latter. People who lack such talent often appear awkward and awkward when they perform this kind of humor, which is incompatible with the style of the script and the characteristics of the film. It's like a dogskin plaster sticking on the whole work. It's very eye-catching, but it can't tear it off, which leads to its failure to reach the standard of comedy.

Wes Anderson's "through Darjeeling" in 2007 and the British film "smart man" released in 2009 both inspired Langley's performance, including the rhythm, tone and other details of the lines.

He needs to settle down.

Next, the lines, flow, position, dialogue, style and so on of the whole play are passed in his mind, which can give him an overall framework for his performance rhythm and style, and at the same time make clear the development direction of the whole play, so as to ensure that he can pass it at one time.

But in the eyes of the rest of the crew, it means something else: he must be preparing for shaving his head. It's shaving his head! Don't talk about actors, even ordinary people need great courage! How can it be that simple!

Seth stood by and looked at the motionless lanli. There was no sound at all. He became more and more nervous. His head was full of wishful thinking. One moment he thought about the grand occasion of Kodak Theater, one moment he thought about the reporters' pursuit, one moment he thought about the appearance of lanli's bald head, and one moment he thought about the trend of awards at the award ceremony

Turning his head, Seth and will exchanged views and said, "are we crazy?"

Why did they come up with the idea in the first place? I used to feel good, but now I feel terrible. But what's the matter with Lan Li who agreed to this terrible attention?

Before will could respond, Langley's voice came“ okay. I'm ready. "

In the whole scene, Lan Li should be the person who has no burden. On the contrary, he calmed down completely and announced dryly.

They have been preparing for the play over and over for several days, hoping to complete it smoothly without any mistakes. Every line and every detail is in their mind, just like a mirror. Now, what he needs to do is to replace it and get rid of all distractions.

When he heard lanli's words, Jonathan felt that his palm was slightly wet, and his breathing stopped for a moment. He was even more nervous than the client, but he took two deep breaths, nodded to the standing record, and then took a long breath. After waiting for the record to finish, he raised his voice and said, "shoot!"

Stretching head is a knife, shrinking head is also a knife, clench your teeth, dry and crisp start, this is the correct solution.

However, in case the performance is interrupted. This
