Chapter 1063

In Sandra Bullock's version of Ryan, the memory fragments of a daughter's accidental death, successfully establish a link between the role of women and the birth of life, and then sublimate the theme.

Rennes in the Langley hall version, however, needs to get rid of the complexity brought about by gender differences, return to the origin of life, and expand the original grand theme again.

It's not easy for lanli. It's like putting all the 139 minutes of "tree of life" into the scattered pieces of "gravity", and then presenting them through lanli's performance, and further sublimating them to bring reflection. It's very difficult. Just imagine it and you'll stop.

Now, in the process of thinking over and over again, Lan Li has constructed the context of the whole role, including its origin, transition, regression and sublimation. But the question is, how to refine? How to simplify? How to perform?

Birth, family, self search; Chase, complete the dream, gradually away, cut off family ties, social attributes disappear; Numbness, loss, abandonment, death; Then, return to the origin, explode again, reincarnate, and open the meaning of life again.

Then, the whole starting point should be the family.

In Lan Li's several ideas, family is always an indispensable part, because in the social attribute, family is the origin of life. However, the context and core of the story, the motive force and the origin are quite different.

After entering the second stage, the memories of his parents and brother reappear in Ryan's mind. But that's the point. What Ryan thinks of is not family affection and love, nor family and care, but their expectation and concern, as well as Ryan's original intention.

In the process of pursuing self and realizing life, family members never questioned or worried about it. Instead, they wholeheartedly ran forward with him and walked side by side; They are not his driving force, but his best partners. Especially in my brother's eyes.

For his younger brother, Ryan is his goal in life. He follows suit, overcomes all difficulties and makes a breakthrough in life.

Once upon a time, Ryan determined his goal, ran all the way, ran faster and faster, and gradually left his family behind, and finally disappeared completely.

Deep down in his heart, he once blamed his family because they didn't understand his world and there was no common topic between them; But after he calmed down, he really understood that they understood him, supported and followed him all the time. What he really didn't understand was him.

Their company and support always remind him of his goal, his dream and his persistence; However, after becoming an astronaut, his dream came true, his life was stable, and his daily routine was regular. He suddenly found that the sound of those reminders had already disappeared, and the power of life was sleeping unconsciously.

He didn't notice the abnormality, or he noticed the abnormality, but he didn't think so.

Now, in the ethereal space, the first image in my mind is the picture of my younger brother when he was born. He timidly stood outside the nursery, looking at the small, pink, soft baby, loud cry, people are full of curiosity and joy. Pea sized toes, lovely and pleasing.

And then again, the image is another pair of pea sized toes, which is not my brother, but my brother's children.

My brother got married and had children, and he was in Houston preparing for his next space flight. Missed the wedding and then the birth of the baby. He didn't show up in person. He didn't even receive a phone call. In the end, he just received an email, and then he replied with congratulations.

"My brother is an astronaut. He is a genius and his way of thinking is so different. You know, if someone talks to him about quantum mechanics, he can feel a pure climax. " The younger brother said with pride that even on his first date with his current wife, Ryan was still a topic of conversation.

However, it is a very distant past.

In desperation, the memories that had almost disappeared came to Ryan's mind, and then he recalled his original dream again: To study the universe, life and the unknown, which was his pursuit; To explore the black hole, to explore the space, to explore the significance of the existence of the whole world, to explore the big bang of the origin of the universe, this is his persistence.

Now, he is a dedicated space station astronaut. No less, no more, that's all. The meaning of existence seems to have been forgotten for a long time.

So, he has to survive. He needs to go back to his family, to his brother, to his niece and nephew who has never been masked, to feel the joy and curiosity of the birth of his life; More importantly, he needs to leave NASA, return to the study of the universe, re explore the mysteries of life, and re pursue the significance of his existence.

It's not easy, but he won't give up.

He needs to cut all thorns, he needs to split all obstacles, he needs to break the whole chaos, just like the first big bang of the origin of the world, then he needs to feel the center of life, he needs to feel the call of gravity, fall, fall again, and feel the weight of gravity.

Therefore, the second stage is thus transformed into the third stage.

In fact, all of these happened in Ryan's mind, even in lanli's mind. In the actual picture of the film, there may only be a few sporadic pictures - continuing the concise style of the whole script, sketching the whole magnificent picture with the most core and profound pictures, At least it will not be integrated into the narrative line as "star crossing" does.

In other words, all these contents will be presented through the performance of lanli.

How much can he show and how much can the audience understand? How much does the performance fit with the story, and whether it can promote the sublimation and transformation of the theme? How much is the delicacy and depth, and how much is the lingering charm?

It's all up to Langley. It also proves once again that "gravity" is a work that is more difficult to perform than one can imagine, and that "burying alive" easily surpasses any previous work of lanli.

From the construction of the whole character, to the understanding of the source power and core meaning of the character, and then to refining the fragment of the character, the memory fragment resonates with the character's core, and finally to determine the basis and context of the performance. The whole process is extremely long and difficult. Even now, lanli's ideas are still not completely clear, and we need to further discuss with Alfonso.

However, such a process makes Langley excited. After so many films and the tests of the west end and Broadway, Langley can still clearly feel the fever and excitement of blood boiling, and the whole person is completely immersed in it.

For lanli, the fun of actors lies not only in "interpretation", but also in "interpretation and extension", as well as "research and polishing". Through a character and a performance, we can see a real character and a real life experience.

Art life, taste life.

Art and life are always inseparable, which is the most wonderful and important part of art.

"The space left by the script itself for actors to think is actually limited, and the real performance space comes from the director. Therefore, before shooting, the creative team needs to have a good communication. What do you have in mind about the character? "

Standing in front of lanli, Rooney holds the same idea.

Compared with the role of Ryan stone, the role of Alex Kowalski is obviously weakened, but the significance is not trivial.

First of all, in the dilemma, either two people die together, or Alex sacrifices himself to help Ryan. At the critical moment of life and death, under the influence of survival instinct, this is definitely not an easy choice - everyone wants to survive, but Alex does not hesitate to cut his own rope, leaving the chance of survival to Ryan.

Secondly, in the desperate situation, Ryan falls into the illusion, almost gives up the desire to survive, but sees Alex again. She became Ryan's spiritual pillar, awakened the mixed emotions in the depths of Ryan's mind, and regained her spirits and began to fight for survival again.

Among the "gravity" from the beginning to the end of the complete role, only Ryan and Alex, the importance of natural self-evident.

Alfonso, after deep thinking, named the female character "Alex". In fact, just like "Ryan", many women now take the initiative to choose "Alex" as their name - for example, the second daughter in "modern family". In a sense, it blurs the gender differences and makes the audience pay more attention to the essence of life,

After the definition of the two characters changed, Alfonso also made adjustments to the script.

Although the role of Alex is not so heavy, Rooney read the whole play seriously and thought deeply about the role. The preparations before the shooting can be seen to be different.

"I think that if there is resonance and connection between Alex and Ryan, we should get rid of the hormonal attraction and communicate more from the ideological and spiritual level.

Therefore, I think that Alex needs to make some adjustments according to Ryan's setting, so as to find a unique feeling in the two characters. Otherwise, at the critical moment, why can Alex wake up Ryan's will to survive? If it's just love, it's inferior. I don't think it's suitable for the theme of the film. "

After opening her mouth, instead of waiting for lanli to express her opinions, she spoke out her own ideas and then waited for lanli's response.

Such words, blue Li's eyes slightly a bright: their two people's ideas actually reached an agreement!
