Lanli didn't really hear the sound around him.
Those who are familiar with lanli's working mode should know that when they devote themselves to the script reading, their perception of the outside world is infinitely close to zero; What's more, the film to be shot in the afternoon is definitely not as simple as it seems.
The reunion of Owen and Claire is not only to let the audience understand the relationship between the two people in the past, but also to lay the groundwork for the audience to understand the reason for their breakup; After the breakup, both of them are faced with their own problems, which directly affects their current situation and indirectly affects the development of the subsequent story - in short, this is a very important plot.
Of course, Colin's play still maintains a relaxed and humorous style, does not turn Owen into a bitter and bitter man, conceals his vulnerability with his glib tongue, which also maintains the overall cheerful atmosphere on the basis of ensuring the profound connotation of the film, so that the viewing process will not bear too much burden; However, the content of the dialogue is far from the previous life.
Reading the script is a process of shaping personality. The background story and the context of character are conceived, and the performance is completed through their own interpretation; At the same time, it's also a process of grasping the performance style and emotional depth. At the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of this year, lenley once reflected on himself that the performance of "cancer fighting me" was too heavy, and he failed to get rid of his own emotions. Instead, it made the film lose its original comic tone; Now shooting "Jurassic world", Langley hopes to make more attempts.
The combination of performance style and performance content needs to find a new breakthrough - how to interpret the theme in depth between laughter and abuse, just like Billy Wilder and Woody Allen, the ridicule and banter of absurd black comedy can reveal the thick weight of the theme.
Although Billy Wilder and Woody Allen are both great playwrights, and their core themes are often elaborated through the framework of the script, Jack Lemont, Jack Nicholson and other veteran playwrights are always able to convey the wisdom of the characters in the performances they can easily perform, which is also a part of the performance.
This is the part of lanli that needs to learn and improve.
For the film to be shot in the afternoon, lanli is really looking forward to it - from the trauma of war to returning home, to the breaking and rejection of intimate relationship, and then to the attention shifting approach to dinosaurs, regaining the former liveliness and cheerfulness, but what is hidden under the surface of cynicism is still a lonely and fragile soul, This transformation process is mainly reflected in a role, and how should it be presented on the big screen in the end?
Just thinking about it in his mind, Langley couldn't help rubbing his hands. He began to read the lines over and over again, thinking about the emotions behind the lines, and facing Claire's emotions again, how to show the mixed emotions and avoid too much in-depth interpretation, This really requires Langley to think deeply and completely.
Is anyone talking around?
Lan Li didn't hear it at all. Just like the wind and the sound of insects, all of them became background boards. After reading the lines over and over again, we can capture the character shaping vein of the characters——
Some lines should not be said in this way, but some lines can be modified. This is the actor's homework in the process of building the role; It's just that Langley is not sure. In commercial movies, do you need to be so careful with your lines? If it's too elaborate, is it easier to destroy the narrative rhythm than to be simple and crude?
Langley thought that he should have a face-to-face discussion with Colin and give his own opinions. As for whether to modify it, it's left to the director to decide. He can finish the work honestly.
Standing up, lanli suddenly saw Nina standing seven steps away, just like the spirit behind her back. She didn't know how long she had been standing there, but lanli didn't think much about it and said, "are you ready to start? I'll go to Colin right now. "
The only reason Nina is here is that the afternoon shooting is about to start, isn't it?
Nina looked at lanli's concentration. She still held the script firmly in her hand. She was in a hurry and could not wait to start her afternoon work.
The first thought in her mind was to pretend that all this was a disguise used by Langley to avoid criticism - as if she had not noticed her; But then Nina realized that she was a bit possessed, so many things had blinded her eyes that she began to get into the corner of paranoia.
If she keeps doing this, she doesn't have to come.
Take a deep breath, Nina forces herself to calm down and looks at Lan Li carefully. The devotion and concentration between those eyebrows can't be concealed and won't lie. Her concentrated attitude is still slightly excited, just like... The real mode of studying the script has come up with a reason, but what if it's true?
Matt's words rang out in his mind again: at least for his work, Langley's persistence and perseverance were never compromised.
Lanli's steps didn't stop. She walked straight ahead and ignored Nina again, which made Nina feel frustrated. She had to shout, "lanli, wait a minute."
"Well?" Lan Li's steps stopped, but he was still a little absent-minded. His thoughts still stayed on the script, and there was no way to get away.
Nina was now too lazy to make complaints about it. The only thought in her mind was to finish it all over quickly, and then she did not want to continue to deal with blue rite, though she knew it was impossible.
"Lanli, my work attitude has not been correct since I joined the cast. I'm here to formally apologize to you." Finally, he said it, just like a priest confessing, pulling out all the guilt and guilt in his heart, and making the whole person relaxed.
Nina looks at lanli with some trepidation. She doesn't know how lanli will deal with it.
Then he saw that lanli thought about it seriously, and her mind jumped from the script to Nina, and then suddenly came to realize it. Finally he understood Nina's meaning. The corner of his mouth rose and said with a smile, "I accept your apology."
On the one hand, it shows that Lan Li really knows what happened in the past, but he chooses to turn a blind eye to it; On the other hand, he said that Lan Li didn't care, and Guangming accepted the apology.
Now the only idea in Nina's mind is: she wants to get into the cave. In front of lanli's scenery, her idea suddenly becomes extremely small, which makes Nina a a little annoyed: lanli seems to have the ability to make the other person feel inferior. This feeling is really bad.
Lanli seems to be able to read the thoughts in Nina's mind, and then added, "it's normal. Don't worry. No one stipulates that I can cooperate only if I like it. As long as it doesn't affect the work, there's no problem; I think we've been shooting well so far, and that's a good thing. "
After that, lenley smiles at Nina, raises the script in his hand and signals, "I need to meet Colin before the work starts in the afternoon, so I won't delay." Then Lan Li turned around and walked straight ahead.
In fact, Lan Li knows that people's hearts are hard to control. People who hate him will hate him after all, and people who like him will still like him, not to mention that the feelings of hate and love may move. When will they suddenly turn upside down? No one can control them accurately. Everything is unpredictable, Instead of worrying about things you can't control, it's better to concentrate on what you like. That's the most important thing.
This is very rational, even cold-blooded, but the fact is: Nina's likes and dislikes, which will not affect Langley's life. Whether Nina changes her mind or not, lenley is always lenley. He never changes. His life, his performance and his life are always on the right track.
At the extreme, Nina didn't matter to him; To be more gentle, he is adapting to the life of public figures, trying to avoid those negative emotions affecting his judgment. It's not an easy task, but for the moment, lenley is doing well.
Therefore, for lanli, Nina's apology means that the influence of the crew has begun to ferment, and then it will work imperceptibly. It doesn't need lanli to waste more words, he just needs to insist on being himself. Thomas's plot is gradually weakening the influence of the crew, which is a good thing; As for Nina's apology itself, it's not even as important as the script.
To be honest, lenley's attitude can be very hurtful.
At this point Nina is a little bit of a abductor: is this... Is this the end? Is that the whole apology process? In vain, she had been struggling for so long before. As a result, the matter ended in nothingness. It's really... Hard to say. Especially seeing the expression of lanli's indifference, it's hard to say what it's like.
But Nina can also feel the sincerity of lanli - he really doesn't care, the understatement of the answer and attitude will Nina all worries and fears are smashed, things just go with the wind. It's this openness that makes Nina stand in the same place and fall into deeper thinking
Should she choose Thomas or Langley? Can she really be alone in the tit for tat within the Jurassic world crew? But if she needs to choose her position, how should she choose it?
God, can things be more complicated?
