Chapter 551

Lanli talks about his understanding of the role and presents his preparation work. He looks at Tony attentively and communicates sincerely and devotedly.

Tony looked up and saw the concentration in his dark brown eyes, which faded the calm and burst out the unimaginable charm. This makes Tony can't help but compare the lanli in front of him with Henry just now. That kind of calm without any movement is like a pool of stagnant water without any light. The image of Henry in his mind gradually becomes full up.

"You mean that's what you want to present? It looks like stagnant water? " Tony said, and finally understood what Langley meant.

"To be precise, I want to present a calm. It's not the darkness and despair of stagnant water, just the indifference of refusing to open up. The appearance looks very normal, but the heart is dead Langley thought about it carefully, corrected Tony's statement, and then explained further.

"Henry is the heart of the movie. In my opinion, his emotion is not a straight line, but a fluctuating curve. He thought he was a straight line, but when he met different people and different things, his flaws became more and more obvious. Finally, it is presented naked in front of the audience, step by step towards the end of the film. It's a process. "

In the last life, Adrian Brody played the role of "detachment". The whole emotional development is a straight line. His outburst and ups and downs do not have an accurate direction, but the despair and sadness rooted in his heart are more clearly displayed, that's all. But after getting rid of those outbursts, his sadness still overflows and becomes a kind of daily life, which makes Henry's image in the whole film stay in the stage of sadness and gloom.

This can be said to be his image shackles, the appearance of melancholy and thin always lingering; It can also be said that his performance routine, from "pianist" to "detached", the actor's temperament is always carried out, which also restricts his performance field. Even in comedy movies like "through Darjeeling," the routine of performance has not been broken.

Of course, it's good. Adrian gives the film a relatively stable state: a state of despair and melancholy. This kind of emotion is endless, fully let the audience feel the intention of the creator, let those who feel deeply.

But Langley didn't want that. He hopes that through his understanding of the role, he can show the different depth, thickness and breadth of the role in the promotion process of the performance, not only to make Henry full, not only to make the promotion of the ending smooth, but also to enrich the mood of the whole film and make the core of the whole film profound.

Because Langley knows that Tony's original intention in making this film is far more than just about Henry's role. His goal is education, society and the whole blueprint. For this ambition, lanli agrees. He hopes to be a part of it. More importantly, he hopes to make a further breakthrough in his performance.

This time performance school acting graduation examination, blue Li hopes to be able to give a go.

Tony's mood gradually increased. He could understand Langley's meaning, which made him chew carefully; But all this is too abstract, language can not explain clearly. After all, he is not an actor and has no performance ability. He has only a vague understanding of the details of acting skills and the aura of performance. He can't outline the corresponding specific image in his mind, and can't see the whole context and end of the performance.

It's kind of like a math problem. The numbers and words in front of him are very clear and accurate. He knows that there is a formula that can connect all the numbers together. He also knows that there is a law that can point to the correct answer. The problem is that he does not know the formula and the law, so the numbers become a meaningless mess.

It's terrible! Tony rubs his hair viciously. It's a mess now, but his brain is still a mess. He can't get a clear idea.

All of a sudden, Tony yanked his hair. The extreme action pulled the knotted hair out, which made people clearly feel the pain of his scalp. Even lanli stood beside him and looked at it. Tony showed his teeth, but he didn't care at all. He said eagerly, "replay, let's watch the replay!"

He actually forgot the most important thing. He is a director, so he can't communicate with him as an actor. He needs to stand in the position of director to re-examine the scene just now, and then digest his thoughts. This is the right way“ Let's watch it, play it back, and then talk about it. " With that, Tony, without waiting for lanli, trots all the way to the location of the monitor.

Lanli and Tony are standing on the school playground. There is no one around them. The nearest staff is more than 15 meters away. They can't hear their conversation clearly. They can only judge from their expressions and try to guess. As a result, Tony ran back without warning, and the members of the crew who had been standing in the same place and watching suddenly exploded.

Hula, the crew members are not clear, so, flurried to dodge, the film set suddenly a riot, so that all the bystanders are full of question marks, unknown. Just now, Tony and Langley were still at loggerheads. In the twinkling of an eye, Tony ran away all the way? What's going on?

Tony didn't know about the scandal. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care. He ran all the way to the monitor, bit the dead skin on his lips, motioned with his chin, and said eagerly, "replay, replay." His request didn't get a response at the first time. Obviously, everyone beside him was at a loss, but Tony didn't have the space to explain. He raised his voice again and said, "replay!"

This time, Tony's request was finally carried out, and the replay began.

While Tony was watching the replay, Roy quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "are you ok?"

Lan Li waved nonchalantly, "where's the script?"

Roy was stunned and didn't respond; Then Nathan handed in the script for the first time. Then Roy saw Langley standing in the same place and began to read the script directly, which made Roy's head full of question marks: still reading the script? The play has been spoiled by Langley——

Literally, it's really rotten. Nathan replaced the front cover and back cover, but the pages inside are rough, some parts are torn, and a lot of notes are left in the blank. Roy thinks that Langley has memorized the whole play over and over, and there is no line in the first and second play. Why should he continue to read the play?

Lanli knows everything about today's film, including all the plot and lines. Not all scripts are worth reading again and again. For example, the script of "speed and passion 5" is more important than the script in terms of communication with martial arts directors and stunt directors. However, the script of "detachment" has the image of dance drama in every line and scene, which is absolutely worth studying carefully.

However, Langley is just a habitual action now. When I was in the production group, reading the script was actually a kind of thinking, not really reciting the lines. Just now Tony's opinion, Langley is also pondering over.

Whether it's the "detached" finished product of the last life or the simple communication just now, we can see that Tony is a director who is extremely dependent on the lens, but this kind of lens is not the kind of Paul Thomas Anderson or Darren Aronofsky. He captures the details of the performance through the change of light and shadow and the setting of angle. Tony's lens has a kind of primitive rough feeling, The grand opening and closing is close to the audience's perspective of documentary or stage drama, recording the original ecology of the performance, and then presenting the emotions to the audience naked.

It also means that in the process of working with Tony, the performance needs to be released more. This kind of release does not refer to the outburst of emotion, but the pause of emotion. At each performance node, he needs to leave a millisecond or two millisecond pause.

Such a pause on the whole time line, in fact, can not be reflected, even has not had time to blink has disappeared. But in the process of performance, the direction of sight, the pause of eyes, and the fine-tuning of expression enlarge the millisecond time, give more filling space for emotion, and make the performance full up.

Intuitively, Meryl Streep's performance in "bridges of Madison" is just like this. This is a moistening and silent film. The gentle emotion echoes in the heart like silent thunder.

Meryl presented a seemingly ordinary but vivid performance, her small expression performance is undoubtedly a highlight, a stay in the eyes, a moment of concentration to out of focus; A look shift, panic to melancholy moment, such a life but dramatic performance details, the achievement of a unique screen image.

However, Meryl is a representative of the method School of acting, her performance is full of spirituality and randomness, her performance talent to play incisively and vividly.

For the performance school acting skills of the college, this is the deep and shallow study and control of emotion. Lanli needs to watch the replay and have a better understanding of Tony's lens in order to push his own performance standard. Then, Langley strode to the monitor.

Roy just looked at lanli in a daze, feeling that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his thoughts. First Tony, and then Langley, the two people's style of acting is completely baffling and astonishing. In the last second, the two people were still fighting for persistence. In the next second, they stood side by side to watch the playback, and from time to time they exchanged their opinions in a low voice.

So, what's going on? One madman, another madman, so this is the story of two madmen meeting?
