Sammy Gail's eyes are full of confusion. For her, she can't understand the details and meaning of Langley's performance, and even more can't understand Tony's interpretation and perspective; But at the same time, he was full of excitement. Even though it was a "ng" just now when he watched the performance from such a close distance, his blood was still flowing rapidly and his whole body was trembling.
Turning his head, Sammy looked at Betty Kaye and asked in a low voice, "do you know what they're doing?"
Betty's eyes fall on her father, but this is her first time on the set, and it's also her first time on the set. She knows nothing about what's going on in front of her. To be honest, she is not interested in acting at all. This time, she just came to help her father. But what happened just now made her curious.
Hearing Sami's words, Betty showed an innocent expression and pursed her mouth. Although she didn't speak, her attitude was obvious. This made Sammy laugh, her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth rising. "It's really interesting! You said, "what's going to happen next?" Imagine that she's going to play with Langley, and Sammy jumps in excitement.
She didn't know what happened, but she knew that Langley and Tony were discussing the performance, and the process of artistic creation was just in front of her eyes. This is not seen in the TV series. So, is this really art?
Sammy is looking forward to it, but Betty is worried about it. Her eyes fall on lanli again. She is not sure whether she can do well or whether she will become a burden. If she becomes a disaster, what should she do? But even so, Betty has to admit that it's not as boring to see two people discussing art.
The line of sight around him has no influence on Tony and Langley. They are watching the replay for the 29th time. Tony took the trouble to watch Langley's performance over and over again from different perspectives and levels.
Wonderful, incomparably wonderful. Gradually, Tony tasted the deep meaning of the performance, such as the eyebrows, eyes, corners of the mouth, shoulders, even the standing posture and the position of the backpack. Every detail can be felt in detail. The strong contrast, which is normal on the surface but dead in the heart, and the fierce contradiction, which is plain on the surface but dead in the heart, are presented without any trace, but have gone through all the vicissitudes.
In just five seconds, Langley gave Henry more possibilities. If people can appreciate Henry's charm or feel Henry's emotion now, it's exaggerating. Time is too short and space is too limited; But it's just a debut. The complicated and profound introverted temperament has left countless possibilities and questions.
Although this is not what Tony expected of Henry, he has to admit that Langley's solid basic skills and deep deductive ability are really eye-catching.
Unfortunately, the two people are on different tracks in their creative thinking, so that the camera lens can not capture enough information. It's like in a piece of dance, two people can see it separately. It's wonderful, but the beat of the two people is not on the same channel. As a result, the whole performance has become a disaster, and the individual's wonderful interpretation has been destroyed. This is a typical case that the whole is inferior to the individual.
Cooperation requires both sides to polish and fit each other. Only in this way can we call it a team. Otherwise, even the most talented artists, the team work is just a disaster. Today is the first day of "chaotuo" starting up. The play is relatively simple, but it is also a buffer stage for the two people to lay a foundation for cooperation.
In a sense, this is also one of the important reasons why directors choose relatively simple parts a few days before starting up.
Over and over again, Tony's mind is re imagining the role of Henry. "Why did you choose a cigarette but didn't light it? What's the point of that? " Asked Tony curiously.
"If I say it's just because I don't smoke, do you believe it?" Lanli's reply was beyond Tony's expectation. He was stunned. His eyes were full of disbelief. He took a serious look at lanli's face, and then waved his hand with a smile. He thought lanli was joking.
But then lanli's words froze Tony's expression. "I'm serious." Looking at Tony's petrified astonishment at that moment, lanli couldn't help laughing, "after getting off the bus, Henry didn't enter the school immediately, but stayed on the platform. On the one hand, he was waiting for all the students to enter the teaching building; On the other hand, he also needs a little time to adjust. It's a new student and a new beginning. In the script, Carl's description is: Henry stands by the bus platform, smokes the whole cigarette, then extinguishes the cigarette end, turns around and walks into the teaching building. "
Even if there is no script, Langley can clearly repeat every item in Carl's works, and everything has been remembered.
"Then why?" Langli's rhetorical question made Tony a little worried, and he wanted to cut in eagerly: why? Smoking is forbidden in the school, and Henry needs a little buffer, so he smoked a cigarette at the bus stop. That's all. Why, it's not just fault finding?
But Langley didn't give Tony any room to speak and continued, "I mean, what's the reason Henry chose to smoke? Escape? Paralysis? Or habit? Can he drink besides smoking? What about drugs? " Lenley's series of questions calm Tony down and sink into meditation.
At this time, not far behind, Sammy and Betty, as well as other actors and staff, are all confused, just like watching two crazy people with abnormal brains: such a conversation is really incomprehensible.
"Henry is in a state of despair. What he needs is not escape and numbness, but letting himself feel the pain, which can keep him awake. At the same time, it will become the driving force for him to continue to stick to it. You know, he is still changing schools, still trying to bring hope to more students, and still sticking to the road of education. "
After Lan Li explained, he ended with a joke, "of course, the original intention of thinking is that I don't smoke. Strictly speaking, I can smoke, but I try to avoid it. "
Instead of laughing, Tony thought, "you mean Henry doesn't smoke or drink?" This is not what Tony is good at, but Langley's words successfully convinced him that the role and the style of the film are two complementary parts, "so why did you choose cigarettes?"
"Or do you want me to stand there for a while?" Tony blinked at lenley's rhetorical question. He really didn't know how to answer it. Then he saw lenley smile and say, "it's just my personal understanding. He doesn't smoke, but he still habitually cigarettes. Maybe this is the habit he left behind before. When did you quit smoking? Why quit smoking? It's a story outside the script, but it's an important complement to the character. "
Tony immersed in his own thoughts, carefully considered, two people did not speak, let the silence spread for a moment, and then Tony nodded, without too much comment, but this move has given enough recognition, "this scene, let's shoot again. This time... "Leaving the field of actors, Tony returned to directing mode." can you highlight the details of the performance a little bit? No, I mean, you play at your own pace, but a little bit more outside. I record the whole state with medium and close range to see how it works
In the first shooting just now, Tony used all medium range shooting, and there was a problem with the angle. He used a 30 degree oblique angle shooting, and his height was slightly too high, so he lost most of lanli's performance in the camera, and the eyes, limbs and changes completely leaked out.
This is also the reason why Tony is so angry. He doesn't see enough information on the monitor. He only sees a cool figure, which is a fatal destruction to the overall style of the film. It doesn't look like an art plot movie at all, but more like a youth idol movie like "Twilight", as if he should use backlight and soft light, Unlimited outstanding hero's handsome.
But after communication, Tony realized that it was still a communication problem. The deviation of lens leads to huge error in capturing information.
It's really rare for an actor like Lan Li to calm down, slow down and polish his role carefully, from lines to habits, from expression to character, and prepare carefully in all aspects. Especially considering the strong momentum of the recent summer season, Tony knows very well that Langley is busy with publicity all day, but Langley is not only not confused, but also not taken lightly, which is an invaluable quality for young actors.
Now, Tony is sure that he needs to adjust the shooting method, and lenley also needs to adjust the rhythm of his performance. They need a certain amount of running in time. This is good. Today's shooting is relatively simple. They have enough time to polish it slowly.
"Is the lens moving or stationary? Medium to close range? Or close range to medium range The time of this play is really too short, about five seconds to ten seconds, which also makes the rhythm of lanli's performance must be handled properly, just like the opening scene of "buried alive", which only depends on the rhythm of breathing to brew emotions. It's just that "detachment" requires more, because there are more elements in the performance.
"I don't know." Tony gave a very "Tony style" answer, "let's try. I'll give you 30 seconds, you can play freely, and then I'll capture the lens, and then I'll find the right clip. " Tony said casually, and then waved. It was a clap.
