Human emotions are always very mixed, often a combination of contradictions, like and hate, happy and sad, expect and reject. Truth is truth, reason is reason, but emotion is an unknown factor that can not be traced and controlled after all.
Levine and Mickey are both like this. On the one hand, they are looking forward to their own artistic persistence to blossom and bear fruit, but they know that the reality is cold and cruel, and they don't shift by their will; On the other hand, they doubt whether their artistic insistence is really meaningful, but the business changes adapting to the market make them so ridiculous.
The simple words were so garrulous that even Lan Li himself had been surrounded by himself.
But Justin nodded in affirmation. "That's what it means. So, this song has a special meaning for Mickey and for Levine
"I remember when the crew met on the first day, you mentioned that the two versions of the same song presented Levine's high spirited, natural and unrestrained momentum at the beginning, because deep in his heart, he was still full of confidence in himself; At the end, however, it is Levine's loneliness and loss. After a round, he began to have self doubt
Justin also gradually entered the state, eloquent said, but after saying these words, he was also stunned——
His delicate understanding of the role and performance is his weakness, which has always been the case. He does not seem to have much talent for performance. All his tactile feelings are superficial and can not really touch the essence of the role and the story; However, during this period of cooperation, lanli's performance silently showed the depth and breadth of those characters bit by bit.
Even Justin didn't realize that the words of the first day of the crew's formal meeting came to mind, so vivid and enlightening.
It's an interesting thing.
"It's like Mickey." Justin said hesitantly, drawing the end of his elaboration with this sentence. When his eyes fell on Lan Li again, it became more profound. If we say that the banter between him and his wife is more just a complaint; Now in retrospect, everything becomes true.
Lan Li's frown still didn't relax, and the slightly rising corners of his mouth outlined a touch of fun, "are singers like this?"
"Isn't that what actors are like?" Justin's rhetorical question made Langley dumbfounded. "I should say, aren't artists all like this? Even Bob Dylan, even Meryl Streep, they don't like every one of their works
Marcus and Ben nodded beside him. This time, on the contrary, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Langley, and he was dumbfounded.
On second thought, it seems to be.
Lanli is a special case, because he is a man again, he is always firm. Every work is the result of careful selection. He will not only hate those works, but also love them, including commercial works such as "tomorrow's edge" and "speed and passion 5".
But not all actors are so lucky.
Lan Li nodded to show his understanding. After a moment of serious thinking, he tilted his head slightly. "Well, we can try the complete arrangement and rhythm, and perform live once to see how the effect is; Then compare the 500 miles after the revision, and make a slight adjustment on the style... "
"Don't worry." The 500 mile style will be more modern. I have discussed with stark and Kerry. We use two guitars to highlight the voice part by playing different strings, showing the effect of trio. The style is different. What Marcus said just now is reasonable. Banjo was not widely used in the 1960s, which means that it was a bit out of the way... "Justin took the conversation and showed the results of their work.
Later, Marcus and ben both cut into the topic and discussed how to highlight the singer's style. The most important thing is to define Mickey's music style, and then complete the adaptation of "waving goodbye" on this basis.
Busy, Justin can't help but look at blue.
Quietly, they entered the working mode. The "late" Justin did not become a burden. He integrated into the discussion without any sense of disobedience, and further mobilized the whole meeting. Even if there was no chance to introduce himself to each other, he still took it for granted.
In fact, such a work state is quite comfortable. Without the politeness of social occasions, it becomes easier.
All of them only came from the unexpected question of Langley.
Justin is more curious, is this unintentional, or intentional?
However, Justin did not continue to think deeply. His thoughts flashed by, and he quickly got up, took a guitar in the corner, and then joined in this sparking creation.
"I think the rhythm is still too fast now. Try to slow it down a little bit."
"You mean, in the first part, the mood will be slightly precipitated, and the melody will be light but contrast the sadness of the lyrics?"
"Yes, and then express the natural and uninhibited heart by deductive way. That's why Levine is willing to compromise. "
"Then try. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"What's the beat of five hundred miles?"
……
The whole studio was so full of bustling discussions that when the Cohen brothers arrived at the scene, they joined the ranks of everyone. The heat started working all over the world, and the passage of time was no longer important. It seemed that even the meal time could not interrupt their conversation——
Even if you are eating, the conversation is still full of melody, beat, arrangement and so on.
When the members of the cast of "drunken folk songs" left the studio, the night had already fallen, the cold wind was gusting, and it was so cold that people could not help but start stamping their feet in the same place. Even if they just stood outside, they needed great courage. On the cold street, there seems to be no taxi at all.
Lan Li's steps did not stop. After taking leave of the crowd with a guitar on his back, he quietly turned around and left. With steady steps, he disappeared into the dim night at the corner of the street. The thin light of the street lamp followed his steps, but he didn't have time to keep up with him. In a twinkling of an eye, he lost his slender shadow. Looking up again, the street was empty.
"Is he always like this?" Marcus and Kerry also left, in another direction, nestled up to each other, gradually moving away.
"What do you mean?" The question is too broad for Kerry to understand.
Marcus shrugged. "I mean, is he always so down and lonely? To be honest, when I saw him for the first time today, I was shocked by his costume. He looked like... "
"Folk singers of the sixties?"
His wife's supplement made Marcus think about it seriously, and then nodded, "yes, the ballad singer of the sixties."
Kerry drew a smile from the corner of his mouth. "That's what he is. That's what he is when he gets on the set. A lot of times, we can't tell if he's Langley or Levine
Involuntarily, Kerry stood up straight and described with a smile. "A few days ago, Joel and I also discussed this topic, the difference between Langley and Levine. In fact, we can really feel that they are two different characters, but we can't say why."
As she said that, Kerry noticed the smile on Marcus' face. Her words stopped. "What's the matter? Is there anything on my face? "
Marcus shook his head with a chuckle. "No, you're fine. It's just that I haven't seen you so happy in the past three or four months. "
"Yes. I'm really happy. I'm glad I got the chance to perform this project. " Kerry readily admitted his joy, "you know, when the crew met on the first day, the blue gift and the blue gift were very different. On that day, he only wore a white shirt, but it was very different. Oh, baby, you know you don't take the handsome route. "
Marcus rolled an exaggerated white eye, shook his head like a shaking head doll, and then bowed his head to kiss his wife, which made him smile contentedly.
Kerry chuckled. "I'm just saying that since he joined the cast, he's been living in Levine's way and really integrated into the life of the sixties. In him, you can still see the enthusiasm for performance, God, the envy of the crazy. It really touched me. I began to think about the meaning of acting and the role of Jane
Kerry didn't continue to explain the following words, because it was too professional and boring.
"It was really a very interesting acting experience." Kerry concluded.
Marcus nodded in agreement. "I can feel it. I don't know Langley, but today, he is really impressive. Now I finally know why he insists that Don Quixote is a doomed album, because he is Levine Davis
"You know, the whole album is always sticking to its own style, hiding all the emotions of life in the melody and lyrics, without any cover up. But no one cares about that now. " Marcus shrugged his shoulders, expressing his dissatisfaction and frustration. "Perhaps this album has indeed been a success, but everything is just a bubble. The point is, Langley knows that. "
Marcus and Kerry exchanged a vision, one as a singer and the other as an actor, but they found similar frequencies, which was too rare, and then they both chuckled.
"You just said that he has been living in Levine's way?" Marcus asked curiously, "no wonder he didn't see the thick coat at all, but you said, where is he going to live? Didn't Levine sleep around? If he comes to stay with us, should we agree? "
