Roy watched the figure receding. That's not Langley.
The figure didn't stoop listlessly, but tried to straighten his waist. You can notice the straight waist and slightly forced shoulders. The slightly strained muscles pulled the lines of the suit coat, revealing the traces of the force. But even so, the spine still couldn't be fully straightened, and the thin shoulders moved forward It's like... It's like bearing an extremely heavy pressure. The invisible pressure is almost crushing the fragile bones.
The quiet side face is always bright under the flowing light and shadow. The cigarette at the corner of the mouth is low and there is no smoke, but it outlines the loneliness and loneliness between the eyebrows, which is lightly shrouded in the deep eyes. There is no special expression, just like the calm lake, but accompanied by a cigarette gently pull the corner of the mouth is a shallow ripple, the unfathomable dark green lake always seems to have emotions under the surge, not clear, the road is not clear, but always there.
There is no special force and outline, the whole performance state is natural and flowing, and there is no trace of carving between every move. What's more, the seemingly ordinary performance makes every audience full of bitterness. Roy can't exactly describe it. The man in front of him is not sad, not desperate, not painful, and even has no waves. But the ubiquitous but indescribable emotion is like a huge stone, which is hard pressed on his chest and breathless in silence.
Roy couldn't believe his brain: he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said it all; There is nothing to play, but it seems that everything is in place. This is the only thought in his mind at the moment. However, even if he thinks this self contradictory statement ridiculous, he doesn't know what kind of performance it is. It's like... It's like that man really exists from the soul to the appearance, has really experienced the waves and vicissitudes, and has really returned to the calm and ordinary, It really appeared in front of his eyes.
Five seconds? Or ten seconds? Before and after just in a few breathing time, lanli transformed into a completely strange image, the handsome face seems to have become ordinary, it is absolutely not lanli. Roy couldn't believe his eyes, even though he was there witnessing everything——
It's just that Roy is still a little bit uncertain. Is this Henry Bart?
"Chaotuo" is Roy's first work after cooperating with Langley. In order to prepare for everything, he read the script several times, not only to understand the role, script and shooting process, but also to understand Langley's style and artistic form. Therefore, Roy has a deep understanding of the role of Henry, but he is not sure about the performance just now.
"Card!"
Tony's shout interrupted the shooting, and there was a buzz on the set. Not amazing, but surprised, or disappointed. Lanli's performance was not as earth shaking as he thought.
Yes, they know that the play is very simple; Yes, they know that it's not realistic to have an acting explosion on the first day of starting up; Yes, they know that it's hard to see what happened just a few seconds ago. They all know that. But under the reputation, they are always looking forward to something special, novel and bright. Even they don't know what they are looking forward to.
For Sammy and other amateur actors, they are even more confused and have no understanding at all.
Tony stepped forward quickly, frowned and came to lanli. Without any pause or hesitation, he asked bluntly, "what's going on just now? Sadness? I want sadness and despair! Where is your performance? " Tony's temper came straight up, his tone was very heavy, his impatient words were not covered up, and he rushed up in an aggressive manner with anger besides questioning.
Lanli opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Tony just like a firecracker lit, crackling on and on, "what I need is not a handsome guy, standing there posing and playing handsome, what I need is actors, real actors, real performances! If I'm looking for models, there's a lot of New York Fashion Week, and it's not your turn. Would you please give me something real? Henry is a desperate man, he has been drowned in grief, almost suffocated! What was that you were talking about? The lost lamb? Jesus Christ, even the lost Bambi has more vitality in his eyes than you
Langley gave up his defense and let Tony continue to vent.
In fact, it's no surprise that Tony was not familiar with the world. In his dictionary, he didn't care about face, or he was polite. Art, which is the only thing he cares about, is all about art, and only about art.
What's more, Tony's temper is impatient and jumping. The first scene is not so good, Tony's reaction is not surprising.
But for the rest of the crew, it was an unexpected accident. The reason why the first play is so special is that the director and the crew will choose the part that is relatively easy to shoot to ensure that it can pass smoothly.
It is because of this that the smooth passing of the first play seems to have become a common pattern. The crew has gradually become accustomed to it, and naturally thinks that the first play will definitely pass directly, so that the first play only has symbolic meaning, and it is only a formality in the past, and then everyone will put into the following work.
Not to mention the first scene, most of the shooting on the first day is so simple.
All of a sudden, there was a problem in the first scene, and people would be surprised. It was almost impossible to hide the huge contrast. Then, they see the angry, furious Tony, the crew members can not help but shut their mouths, look flustered.
People are all in a hurry to exchange views, even Roy and Nathan are no exception, no one knows what happened. The first scene is so simple, but lanli's performance is so abnormal. Is it because of the busy publicity of "speed and passion 5" before that, lanli lost his state and never received his attention? Or is it because of the sudden popularity, which leads to the imbalance and expansion of lanli's mentality?
But it is certain that no matter what the reason is, the first play will not start well, which is definitely not good news for the crew.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the crew became strange. The students in the teaching building held their breath and stuck it on the window. They cast their eyes carefully and excitedly. Are they going to fight? Is there a good play? Is there going to be a big scene?
"Say something!" Tony saw Langley standing in the same place without saying a word, but his calm face still did not disappear, which made Tony's temper jump up more and more. Originally he was just eager, but now he began to get angry. Holding the script's right hand, he began to wave in the air, and his mouth spattered.
Instead of challenging Tony's authority and giving up the idea of humor, Langley said, "my understanding of the role is different." As Langley expected, Tony's temper slowed down for a while when he heard the discussion about art. He raised his chin and panted, "so what's your understanding?"
"Henry's sadness and despair, it is a kind of emotion from the bone to the soul. He has given up the struggle, or he thinks he has. But we can see his behavior - he has become a teacher, trying to bring hope to more children within his ability, but he refuses to have a fetter with these children. Before the emotional entanglement, he leaves, and continues to move on to another school. In short, he is sowing the seeds of hope, but he does not want to continue to cultivate. Why? "
Lenley's long speech silenced Tony. He raised his right hand, propped up his chin, and fell into meditation.
The perspectives of directors, screenwriters and actors are quite different, and the forms of artistic expression are also different. Communication is a prerequisite for the success of a film, and many film works are destroyed in this link. Tony and Langley are also facing this problem.
"In the play, Henry and three different female characters show his inner feelings bit by bit.
In the face of Sarah's offer, Henry's retreat shows his coldness and alienation. He knows that he is in a bad position, and he has no way to respond to other people's emotional calls for help.
Faced with Meredith's help, Henry's hesitation shows his fear and despair. He is trying to help Meredith, but he is worried that there will be more emotional entanglement between them. He has no ability to be responsible for anyone.
In the face of Erica's invasion, Henry's numbness shows his sadness and bitterness. Erica is approaching step by step. He passively gives help, but does not dare to go further, because he sees himself in Erica.
Different relationships show different emotions. Little by little, the feelings of Henry are presented. Before meeting these people, to be exact, before the change of living conditions, Henry carefully wrapped himself up, lived in his own world, and carefully restrained all his emotions. It was like a wandering soul, losing vitality, but still unwilling to leave, just floating without any sense of existence. "
"You mean that's what you want to present? It looks like stagnant water? " Tony said, and finally understood what Langley meant.
