"What? paramecium? Damn it Christopher was also angry at the accusation of Langley. He was so flustered that he blurted out, "you are the first one to accuse my movie of being a paramecium! damn! Are you sure you're watching my movie? My script? "
In the face of the angry Christopher, Langley is still the same as before. In the quarrel, such posture and expression really make the other party more and more angry. He has already jumped, and the other party is still calm. It's really annoying!
"If I haven't seen your movie or read your script, and now I can understand all your core ideas clearly, then what is it that this is not Paramecium?" If there is a course of "anger is not worth life" in college, lanli's GPA should be excellent.
At this time, Lan Li was still sitting calmly in the chair, with his right leg on his left knee. He had neat clothes, mellow coffee, smiling face, and even no sweat on his forehead.
But Christopher was embarrassed and emotional. His big back hairstyle had been dishevelled and drooped. His tennis shirt was drenched with sweat, and there was a lot of dark color under his armpit and back.
"You're... You're being unreasonable!" Christopher is also a bit poor in words. He is not a good debater at all. You can see from his first work "follow". What's more, there are few actors in Hollywood who dare to shout at him like this.
But Christopher still did not give up, "I do not mean to give up philosophical speculation, but that there is no need to deepen! It's just too cumbersome! "
"Too cumbersome, or not?" Langley's retort hit Christopher like an arrow. "Stanley Kubrick didn't put in a lot of lines in '2001 Space Odyssey'. On the contrary, he deliberately simplified his lines. Instead, he passed on his philosophical thinking through the editing and cohesion of the pictures, which was neither too cumbersome nor too cumbersome, Because the construction process of these pictures is the process of philosophical speculation! "
"How?" Christopher replied straightforwardly that extreme excitement and impulsivity can also affect the thinking ability of the brain.
"I don't know." Blue Li's answer is also crisp, "I'm not a director, how do I know?"
"But you are not a screenwriter. Why was the discussion so heated just now?" Christopher also showed his perseverance and pursuit.
Lan Li shrugged, "why can't it be in the form of flashback? For example, in Cooper's mind, the image of Murphy running in front, or the picture of Murphy treading on the water in red rain shoes, or the picture of Murphy drawing with a pencil. I mean, it's a small detail, but it becomes the most important concern. "
"And for Murphy, she could do it in another way. When she comes across a book, or a middle-aged man's action, or a familiar scene at work, or Cooper's little movement in five-dimensional space is really printed in her mind, she can't help thinking about her father again. And so on. "
"Murphy is different from Cooper. Cooper is trapped in space. He can only flash back by memory, but Murphy is still on the earth. Her life can still be full of hints and associations. Even Cooper's actions in five-dimensional space can cause butterfly effect."
"Through these two different montage connection ways, the maintenance and fetters of family affection are presented. More importantly, it emphasizes the dislocation of time - Cooper's memory is always the scene of Murphy's childhood, but Murphy has grown up. In Murphy's eyes, what she sees is the image of her father from space. "
"I mean, on the premise of not affecting the rhythm of the plot and the commercial attributes of the film, after amplifying the power of time to the extreme, we can deepen the emotional maintenance through the performance of the two actors. As for how to compose the picture, how to think, and what kind of spiritual refraction those pictures reveal, this is the work of the director."
Lan Li's speaking speed is not fast, and always maintains a special rhythm, clear organization and clear hierarchy.
This time, instead of interrupting, Christopher listened carefully, pondered over the feasibility, and further pondered over the composition of the picture.
Objectively speaking, the composition of the picture is not Christopher's strong point, but his strong imagination, space deconstruction and time linearity are. In this respect, Canadian Director Dennis Villeneuve has the potential to become a great actor.
Dennis's camera temperament has been revealed in the "scorched earth city" in 2010. This year, he has cooperated with Jack Gyllenhaal in two works, namely "old enemy" and "prisoner"; After that, the three works of "border killer", "coming" and "blade killer 2049" are moving forward step by step towards the road of masters.
But Dennis's weakness is also obvious: rhythm control. He has to sacrifice his narrative rhythm for the sake of the poetic image and the elaboration of the core, which runs through all his works and becomes the shackle of his more achievements in business. And that's Christopher's advantage.
As people say, it's very difficult to just explore the limit at the commercial or artistic level. Not every director can find the key to creation; Let alone to find a balance between business and art, this is an eternal problem.
Lanli is an actor. He is responsible for telling his understanding and opinions, but all this is limited to paper. In the actual combat stage, he is a rookie. The work of director is absolutely not as simple as he thought; Now watching Christopher fall into thinking, Langley didn't disturb him.
Christopher's expression is very wonderful, one moment excited, one moment depressed, one moment excited, one moment confused, even his own one-man show is endless.
But in the end, Christopher breathed out, "no, it's not. Do you know how difficult it is to build a shot? It's not just the depth of field and composition. Every character, every accessory and every detail has its own meaning. It's a huge project. If you just cram those memories into it rudely, the whole theme core may become cumbersome. "
"When we were shooting inception, we spent a lot of time to conceive the totem after everyone entered the dream and all the scenes in the dream. In fact, Jonathan and I originally wanted to make the dream scene more meaningful, but it needs to consider psychology, philosophy, history, culture and so on. It's not so easy. "
"I remember that after the movie came out, some critics said that the whole movie of Inception was based on a fantastic idea, but as a director, he still relied too much on the text and failed to extend the deep meaning of the lens. I scolded the critic right in front of Emma. I was making a commercial film, not Shakespeare. "
"But... Now I understand a little bit. You mean that through the setting of some screen content, you don't need to change the script, and you don't need too much burden. You mean to convey the director's thoughts through the lens, right?"
As he said that, Christopher looked up at lenley and cast an inquiring eye.
Lan Li deliberately made a "sudden realization" appearance, "Oh, are you talking to me? Because you just looked like you were talking to yourself... "Christopher rolled a big white eye wordlessly, and Langley didn't continue to joke." yes, that's what I mean. I know it's a very difficult, complex and profound subject, but... Mr. Nolan. "
"Chris."
"... Chris," Langley stopped for a moment, and the guest nodded and changed his name.
"I always think that the reason why you take over the project of Star Trek is that you want to explore more in the film and pursue more in the art of directing.
I always think that the reason why a film is called the art of a director is not because of the script or the actors. Even the story must be followed by the screen and lens. Scheduling, composition, editing, setting and so on are all the most artistic aspects of a director. "
In the face of Langley's words, Christopher did not criticize or affirm, but chuckled, "according to your meaning, Michael Bay is also an excellent director?"
"Personally, I still like 'intruding on life island' and 'Transformers'" Lan Li gave a positive reply.
Christopher thought seriously, but found that he had no way to make complaints about it. People could Tucao Michael Bei was still a three axe, but he could not deny that he still ranked the first class in the lens scheduling and blasting scenes.
As a result, Christopher broke into a silent smile and gently agreed. Now he really understands why people in the industry always emphasize that "Langley is an actor with ideas".
For the performance, for the role, for the core and so on, lanli's interpretation does have its own characteristics; More importantly, lanli has his own profound analysis of the relevance between the role and the plot, which is irreplaceable for the integrity of the film works. In the process of cooperation between the director and the actor, different sparks are often able to collide.
Christopher even thinks that even if Langley and James Cameron emphasize visual effect and weaken the director cooperation of actors, he can interpret his own characteristics.
It's like speed and passion 5.
"If you're going to play Cooper, do you have any particular ideas?" Christopher brought it up for the first time today.
