Chapter 1065

"Don't you think that after the setting is too complicated, the content is too large, which will mislead the audience? In Alfonso's play, everything is concise, presenting a clean main line, further enlarging the audience's vision, hearing, and even touch, and enhancing the whole viewing effect. After the complexity of the content, the viewing experience is bound to be affected. "

"It's really a problem. However, the setting is the foil and foil to the theme. In the conception stage, I need to think more complicated, and more complicated, to fully connect Ryan stone with the theme core of the whole play and form resonance. Only in this way... "

"Only in this way, after stripping the branches, the reflection and echo left to the audience will be more profound. What you mean is to add first and add them up continuously to achieve 100% effect; Then we do the subtraction and gather all the branches in the performance; Finally, the addition will be left to the audience, after the end of the movie, leaving a lingering charm. Oh, my God, you're a lunatic. "

"Thank you. I once thought about a simpler setting, just showing a scene of Ryan and his family, and then exploring the outline of the whole character; But after deep thinking and digging, I found that... "

"Such a role is too thin!"

Lanli's words didn't have time to speak out, and Rooney blurted out, which made lanli dumbfounded and nodded in affirmation, "at the same time, it will weaken the core idea of the script."

"You see, Alfonso and I have discussed that we hope to peel off the gender attribute of Ryan and return to the origin of life. From birth to growth, to breakthrough and pursuit, it has nothing to do with gender and age, just showing the purest state of life." Lanli's further explanation made Rooney think carefully.

"If only through performance, these contents can't be presented." LUNI frowned slightly. She didn't pretend to understand the situation. Instead, she honestly put forward her doubts and further analyzed, "do you have any special ideas?"

"The idea in my mind now is a pair of feet." Lan Li sincerely expressed his thoughts.

"First, Ryan's younger brother's foot, which was the birth moment that Ryan witnessed when he was a child; Then, through montage's picture editing, it evolved into the foot of the younger brother and child, which appeared on the computer screen. The younger brother sent an email, while Ryan was in Houston, so he had no way to arrive at the scene in person. "

Lanli tried hard to tell the idea in his mind, but it was not easy. The position of the director and the actor were different after all. However, LUNI understood it and her eyes lit up slightly. "You mean, through the comparison of the two birth moments of life, one was involved in it, the other was out of it, And then it explains the change of Ryan's life track. "

Lanli nodded, and Rooney nodded. Then, their eyes were projected towards Alfonso at the same time,

Alfonso, who was sitting beside him, did not hold back. He chuckled.

The conversation between the two young people was so interesting that they were arguing with each other for a second, and they were red faced; The next second they reach a consensus and constantly supplement and affirm each other's ideas. The whole conversation goes on without any stumbling, but it's natural. It really makes the bystanders some can't keep up with the speed, so they start to drift away.

One director, two actors, CASS, the core of the whole crew, and three of them are sitting at the gate of the studio, with lots of scattered beer bars and countless empty beer cans piled up beside them. Then they talk about it endlessly and enthusiastically, without worrying about how simple their environment is.

In fact, at the beginning, more than 40 staff members gathered here to warmly welcome Langley and Rooney to the crew. The empty beer cans on the ground came from them; But gradually, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the three people's conversation. They began to turn around and leave one after another. Finally, there were only three lonely people left.

However, as a director, that's another matter.

Langley and Rooney's words collided and blended with each other, which really formed a brainstorming, and also triggered countless thoughts in Alfonso's mind, and the inspiration continuously emerged. This way of cooperation can not be more perfect.

Now, it has become the focus of attention, and Alfonso knows that they are asking for his advice.

"Feet, this is a good idea. We can discuss with Emmanuel how to show the connection between life and the universe through the lens. The feet of a newborn baby are inspired by the tree of life, right? I love the idea. " The picture in Alfonso's mind becomes three-dimensional and vivid, and a frame has been built between the conversations.

Then, the words changed, Alfonso added.

"However, montage's editing method is too cumbersome, and the expression is too complicated. Maybe, we can show it through a computer email screen. My younger brother sent an email to Ryan to show his new baby's feet, and then expressed regret that Ryan could not arrive at the scene. After Ryan turned off the email screen, the computer desktop showed a picture of his brother's feet, which aroused Ryan's memories. "

Lanli and Rooney exchanged a look, and their eyes were both bright, but then lanli realized something strange, "is this kind of picture not in line with the overall style of the film? And then destroy the picture structure of the film? "

"Yes, I have the same worry. I'll discuss it with Emmanuel." Emmanuel lubezki, the photographer of "son of man" and "tree of life", also born in Mexico, is responsible for the photography work of "gravity" this time. "However, this kind of picture originally peels off the cosmic environment and is more a picture of life. Let's see what inspiration Emmanuel has. "

"The more thought I have in my mind now is one of the things that Langley mentioned just now." Alfonso's eyes met lanli. "You just said that he mentioned Ryan on his brother's first date with his sister-in-law?"

"Yes, he always worships Ryan and is proud of his brother. So, he always said, 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. And so on

After Lan Li finished, Rooney, sitting beside him, chuckled, "I think if someone talks about quantum mechanics with you, you can really feel the climax." This ridicule, Alfonso laughs happily, blue Li is to spread his hands to express his helplessness.

After folding his smile, Alfonso continued, "I like such small details. You know, it's intertextual with the photo of jiaoyazi. No matter what Ryan's attitude is, his younger brother's thoughts and attitude towards him have never changed. This has also become an opportunity for Ryan to pick himself up. As you said just now, it has awakened the initial impulse, the initial dream and the initial motivation in Ryan's heart. "

With that, Alfonso became excited, without the usual shyness and formality, and danced to express his views, "I think, even a lullaby can be added. Just when Ryan started to survive again, he hummed the lullaby quietly, and then talked to himself about his brother's funny stories, so as to complete the source power of the whole kernel in this way. "

In lanli's conception, the story of Ryan stone can be made into a movie; But in the finished product of gravity, there may be only one piece of foot, about a few seconds, followed by a lullaby humming by Ryan. That's all.

That's exactly what actors don't see in their work. Some marvel at how thick the actors' performance is, while others marvel at how flat and thin some characters are. In fact, that's the difference. The key lies in the script and the role; But it's more about the understanding and interpretation of the actors.

"Singing a lullaby while trying to survive?" Lanli's mind is full of question marks. As an actor, many times, he still can't see the panorama of the director's picture. His way of thinking is completely different.

Alfonso is reversed, he has a vivid sense of the picture, but for the performance and interpretation of the actors are confused. He nodded naturally, "yes, between chaos and despair, it's like a precarious moment on the edge of a cliff, the texture of crisis and tenderness..."

"No, I mean, Ryan stone is not a lullaby character." Lanli turned his head, and then he saw a happy smile on her face. "Ryan is a genius, remember? What we need at the moment of survival is to calm down and sing a lullaby, which is too sensational and not suitable for us, right

Alfonso was stunned. He didn't think about it.

"Maybe you can look at it from another angle." In a little silence, Rooney joined the topic and connected the ideas of lanli and Alfonso from a different perspective.

"At this moment, Ryan regained his original heart, as if he were a child. As you said, he started to live again in order to get back to the starting point. Therefore, gaoleng iceberg became the same as a child again. He could sing lullaby to his younger brother. Furthermore, Lullaby is a trigger point of chemical reaction, arousing the purest Ryan in the heart

Finally, Rooney concluded, "the point is still, how should you perform? If the difference is too big, as you are worried about, the frame structure of characters will collapse; But if the difference is not enough, the texture of change can not be displayed. So this is the moment to test the actors. "

Delicate and complex, simple and profound, soft and tough.

Rooney can even picture it in her mind. The performance of that scene is as difficult as climbing to heaven. To be honest, except for Langley, Rooney couldn't think of an actor who could do it.

Thinking about it, Rooney starts to get excited and can't wait to get into work with Langley.
