Someone once asked how the atmosphere of the crew was determined?
Other troupes may not be sure, but Lan Li's troupe can be sure: full of enthusiasm for performance, also full of art mania, everything is about performance, not only the protagonists and supporting actors, but also the mass actors, stand INS, dragon set actors and so on can feel the fun of performance.
Of course, it's impossible for everyone's ideas to be adopted. In the final analysis, all ideas and all creativity still need to be condensed into the director's style, appropriately increased or decreased, and find the most suitable way of performance and presentation in the appropriate choice and measurement. But it is certain that the inspiration for performance can always get the best soil, and find the pleasure of artistic creation in brainstorming again and again.
This is the attribute of lanli drama group.
Is that a good thing? It may be a good thing for the actors, but it may not be a positive factor for the director and other departments. The actors are only a part of a movie from production to finished product; However, the atmosphere of the crew has always been cheerful and devoted, which is a good thing.
This is true of the four doubles who play raptors, and so is Omar who plays Barry. Their roles have undergone subtle changes in the discussion. It is not necessarily that the play has increased, but it definitely gives the performance more space to explore, which is really a rare opportunity for the actors.
Performance, it should be immersive, enjoyable and thoughtful, not just an ordinary job, just like all artistic creation.
"Langley, I'm Vincent." In the conversation between lanli and Omar, a middle-aged actor standing beside him has been waiting for a long time. He grabs the gap between lanli and Omar and says quickly.
"Shh, shouldn't evil characters eavesdrop on secret plans now?" With a joke, lenley makes Vincent enter the acting environment of the script in an instant. The two exchange a line of sight and smile.
Vincent-d'onofrio, who has been in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, is a typical blue collar actor with a low reputation. "All metal shell" is his famous work as a supporting actor. His works such as "assassinating Kennedy", "behind the scenes", "Ed Wood", "man in black" and so on can be seen. This year, he has become a leading actor in Hollywood, He also joined in the performance of the popular TV series "super brave man".
Such actors may not be familiar to the general public; But for the industry, it is crucial. Especially for the actors, lanli has great respect for them, because they can always learn a lot of acting skills or insights, which are rare opportunities for communication.
At this time, it doesn't need too much language, a look, Langley and Vincent completed the communication, and then both shifted their eyes, into the immediate communication scene.
Obviously, the four doubles headed by Samuel did not expect that their selfish behavior, which was originally intended to play for the Raptor, is now evolving into a storm. Simple communication is gradually evolving into a concrete performance, and then a relatively simple but complete personality is formed, giving each Raptor a specific image, And they must show the characteristics of raptors, and the special effects team will cooperate with the relevant production in the post production.
Samuel swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and asked Langley secretly, "is this really OK? I always feel like we're in trouble. "
A simple play is now becoming more and more complicated; More importantly, the key point of the play should have been Owen, but now the focus seems to be a little blurred, something is not right.
Commercial films all have a fixed routine. There is always a introduction at the beginning. The actor or heroine is formally introduced to the stage with a relatively simple routine. The concise and rich passages often pay more attention to the unique charm of the protagonist, including the most prominent characteristics and attributes of the character, which will also become the epitome of the characteristics of the protagonist of the whole film.
Basically, the mature works in the Hollywood film industry are all like this, not only limited to commercial films, but most of the films are used to the routine of such perspective. Only those independent art films with anti routine narration are different.
Even the recent "gravity" and "pop drummer" are the same.
At the beginning of "Jurassic world", the play of taming animals was chosen to show Owen's charm. In fact, this play is more advanced. The crew just took the lead in filming the reunion of Owen and Claire; Colin is going to use the play to show Owen's character and set the tone of the whole character. But now, because of the "increase of the play" of the four raptors, the situation has changed slightly.
Looking at Samuel's worried eyes, lanli was still at ease. "Even if it was a disaster, it was a beautiful accident." Then lenley raised his chin and motioned to Pete and others who were eager to try. "It's always interesting to try some different ways of performance, or do you lack confidence in the way of performance of motion capture technology?"
"No, it's not..." Samuel immediately straightened his chest and said confidently.
Lan Li nodded, "then it would be better."
Samuel looked at the understatement of lanli, he did not worry at all, he can only temporarily put down his ideas, concentrate on his performance work, but soon, Samuel will know that his worry is really unnecessary.
It is true that the so-called snatching does exist in the film works, and it is very frequent. Funny plays take away the style of the main play, and eggs take away the eyes of the main play, and so on.
But the core reason for the competition is that the latter is not good enough, which gives the former more opportunities to win attention and applause in the effective time. It's the same with supporting actors taking away the aura of the protagonist.
However, some "dramas" can not be robbed just by snatching. For Lan Li, adversary play is never a part to worry about, but a scene to be eagerly expected. Now, too.
The heated discussion lasted for nearly 15 minutes. Instead of changing the script or adjusting the plan, it confirmed a keynote of the four raptors——
That is to say, the whole shooting frame is still unchanged, but the filling content needs to be adjusted. The main change is the actors themselves. With the help of Colin and Langley, the four actors have set their own core tone one after another. Then, the filming can begin.
Lan Li stood in front of the blue screen, jumping gently, while still active limbs and head, keeping the body muscles in a state of vitality, and then raised his voice to the four actors standing in front of him and said, "you need to treat me as a monkey, understand? In short, it's food. Hey, hey! I'm not kidding. "
A monkey.
Pete couldn't help laughing, "lanli, I'm not joking. Looking at the famous lanli hall, I think you're a monkey? It's not easy. "
"But that's what actors can do." Lan Li picked his eyebrows and said jokingly. Then he saw that all the four stand ins in front of him were in different degrees of trance, so Lan Li added, "or can I do it alone? Is that why I can get high pay? "
Sure enough make complaints about blue ritual. So subtly malicious Tucao, is it really good?
"Well, if I can do it, can I get a bonus?" Samuel was the first to raise his right hand high, and his eyes were bright to express his strong desire.
"Why not?" With a snap of his finger, lenley said dryly, "I can apply to list your names separately in the subtitles at the beginning or end of the film, on the premise that... On the premise that," lenley has no way to finish the following words, and all four actors have been excited - for doubles, it's a dream to leave your names on the screen, "If you can fulfill your role."
The four actors were all looking at lenley with bright eyes and high concentration.
Lan Li laughed and went back to business. "There needs to be a transformation process in this play. At the beginning, you just treat me as food, understand? Show your attack power to your heart's content, you can make the atmosphere more tense, you can put in some, no problem, but in the second half, you need to focus on me. We'll explore the specific process, and gradually understand it. "
The content of the play is that a staff member who just joined the Jurassic Park, in order to catch the pig running around in the cage and avoid the disorder of the Raptor, did not expect that the pig could not be caught in time by the long bar, but was hit by the Raptor head-on, and the whole person also fell into the cage, so the Raptor took the staff as prey, Prepare to hunt, and Owen is in order to save the rookie, took the initiative to enter the cage.
"Let's ignore the fact that he fell from the third floor, but his back didn't break. He could still climb out alive. It's really out of line. But it's a Hollywood movie. What else can we complain about? " Lan Li stood in the original place, and Tucao Tucao without mercy. "It's like I can make complaints about dinosaurs. Compared with the other, the third floor fell down and still can run and jump. What seems to be nothing important is it."
The little banter made the four actors laugh.
Lan Li rolled up his sleeve, stood in front of the blue screen, and restrained his smile. "Guys, look at my eyes. The key point of your performance is very simple. When you treat me as a prey, you see my head; When changing the rhythm, look into my eyes and make changes according to the changes in the focus of sight. Also, pay attention to your own character characteristics. I will be flexible. "
"Well, are you ready? Let's finish some of the work of actors
