What exactly does Colin mean?
Bryce chewed it carefully, but she still couldn't figure out an outline. The performance just now is in place. How can we adjust it?
Yu Guang secretly glanced at Lan Li. She knew that if she inquired about Lan Li, she would get an answer. Even she didn't realize that Lan Li's authority and professionalism had been deeply rooted; But she hesitated for a moment, and finally did not ask.
Since the outbreak of the scandal, Bryce has consciously kept a distance from Langley. She doesn't like Langley's way of doing things, and even less likes someone interfering in her private affairs. Although in terms of work, she admires Lan Li's profession; But outside of her job, she didn't want to have too much interaction with Langley.
After thinking about it, Bryce still didn't ask. She decided to perform it in her own way and find out the way Colin expected. In any case, the acting work of an actor still needs to be explored by herself. She can't always ask for help from her fellow actors when she has problems, can she?
As a result, Bryce quickly regained her sight, calmed down and began to think about different ways of interpretation.
Lanli naturally noticed Bryce's looking at Yu Guang, but he still pretended that he didn't find anything and concentrated on his work.
The onlookers see clearly. This is a truth. Many times when you are in it, you can't see the whole situation and the truth. Even Langley himself is no exception, which is why they need to watch the performance replay, and also the reason why they need the director's opinion.
As a bystander, Langley can capture the flaws in Bryce's performance - far from the extent of the problem, which can only be regarded as flaws at most, and the key lies in the proper control.
Through the polishing of many commercial films such as "tomorrow's edge" and "Star Trek", as well as comedy films with commercial attributes such as "cancer fighting me", lenley gradually found out his own understanding of commercial films.
Now, there is a common misconception about commercial popcorn movies. It is assumed that popcorn movie audiences pay more attention to visual effects, and lack enough patience to chew the plot, characters and emotions. This also makes the performance of commercial movies more open and direct, Even simply and rudely put all the emotions on the table - joy, sadness, pain and sadness, etc., all of which are directly thrown out in a roaring way, for fear that the audience is not willing to spend time reading.
In the final analysis, in fact, this idea can not be said to be wrong - the performance of commercial films really needs to be more direct, otherwise it is likely to be submerged in the huge visual effects. The Star Trek, which was just completed at the beginning of the year, is the best example; However, such an idea is easy to enter a misunderstanding, that is, it is too simple and straightforward, or even boastful, but it is easy to damage the integrity of the work.
The simplest case of comparison is that Tom Holland's performance in "spider man: the hero returns" is appropriate and appropriate, but if Tom Holland's performance is put in the atmosphere of "extraordinary Spider Man", it will be out of place - and Andrew gafeld's performance is too formal and lacks a personality charm, He didn't get his Peter Parker to wake the audience up.
This is the problem for Bryce:
Bryce presents her emotions in the way of stage play. All her emotions are completely released, which simply and directly hits the beginning and ending of each plot.
Is it accurate? Accurate.
Is that ok? inappropriate.
Lanli's way of dealing with the play is much more mature. He hides all Owen's emotions in the bottom of his eyes. What he shows out is a kind of heaviness and sadness, or even empathy. He doesn't pour out all his emotions too directly, nor suppresses all his emotions in the bottom of his heart too obscurely——
What is the difference? First, the difference between lifting eyes and drooping eyes does not fill all emotions in the fundus of the eyes, but deliberately cuts off eye contact; Second, the changes of hand movements and speaking style, on the one hand, increase the hand movements to convey emotions, and even intentionally increase the movements, on the other hand, reduce the content of speech, but increase the filling of details.
Between the outside and the inside, Lan Li found a balance.
When he played "the Pacific War" that year, the fledgling lanli took every scene very carefully, especially the emotional sublimation in the ninth episode. In the fuzzy boundary between skill control and total devotion, he really lost himself and mobilized all his emotions perfectly; But in the present, it seems to be too strong, but it weakens the group play. In short, it highlights lanli himself, but makes the whole play unbalanced. If it is now, lanli can complete the play more mature and more delicate.
That's what Bryce did.
Being too outspoken, too straightforward, and too rough to present in the flowing picture of the lens, Bryce is too aggressive and breaks the balance of the whole picture. The problem is that if the quality of Bryce's performance is high enough, then the director should be picky about lanli's play - signal to let lanli work harder; However, the quality of Bryce's performance is not enough, so it seems too pompous when competing. The rhythm and weight are in the hands of lanli, so the director is critical of Bryce's play.
So what's the problem?
In a simple summary, it can be said that Bryce's performance lacks control and refinement, and the performance that is too open-minded is exaggerated, which lowers the quality of the whole play, and further destroys the texture of the whole film. Even popcorn is a bit rough; It can also be said that the lack of communication between lenley and Bryce, the two people's performance rhythm and strength can not be maintained in the same balance, which led to the balance of the opponent's play was broken, affecting the impression.
Communication is still the most important part of the opponent's play. Bryce's performance is not good enough, but at the same time, lanli also needs to take part of the responsibility.
However, everyone, including Bryce herself, has a preconceived idea that it is impossible for Langley to make a mistake, so it can only be Bryce's fault.
In fact, Lan Li is ready to communicate with each other, discuss with each other, correct with each other, and make progress with each other. No matter what, they all hope that the film will succeed. This is a consensus; However, lanli also knows that it takes courage to discuss professional issues - not everyone can accept others' opinions on their work, nor can everyone have the courage to face the criticism calmly. Moreover, every actor has his own way of performing and understanding, so it is not necessarily that the methods between actors can be exchanged.
How can he be sure he won't offend Bryce if he makes a bold comment?
Even during the shooting of the "Star Trek" crew, Langley only completed the guidance in his own way. Only when Timothy chalame and McKenzie foy took the initiative to discuss and inquire, Langley would share his experience and opinions.
Now, in the face of Bryce who has consciously kept a distance recently, as a gentleman, lanli naturally won't give rude instructions to Jiangshan. He still keeps his own politeness, focuses on his performance work, and pretends not to notice Bryce's look at him at all.
The shooting started again.
Both Bryce and Langley devote themselves to the role again, not affected by the alienation in real life.
Many people ignore Bryce's solid acting skills. Apart from her spirituality or talent, Bryce has no problem with her basic skills. Her years of training on Broadway have not been in vain. She really has her own unique features, but she has not met the right role luminescent - adjust the way of performance, fit the content of performance, It's definitely not a problem for Bryce.
But the problem now is that Bryce has not been able to understand Colin's requirements and the problem. Naturally, there is no way to find the right rhythm. Even if she wants to apply the right medicine to the case, she still can't find the right direction after continuous groping. It's inevitable that her mentality and mood fluctuate, which makes the shooting more and more stumbling, There are more and more mistakes.
Nine times before and after shooting, all the shooting was not as smooth and natural as the first time. There were continuous mistakes, and even very low-level mistakes. It seemed that there were problems with the backward lines, so that Colin collapsed. He wanted to solve the problem but made it worse and worse, and then had to continue to do it again, In this way, he fell into a vicious circle and could not get rid of it.
Finally, lanli suggested that we take a break to adjust, which is good for the whole crew.
Colin agreed.
Lanli and Bryce walk back to the location of the crew, but lanli does not rest, but takes the initiative to go to the monitor and ask to watch the playback; Bryce was also inspired and came along, looking forward to finding the problem from the replay.
After watching three different pictures before and after shooting, Langley had a clear idea. The overall situation was similar to his guess. Now it's up to Bryce to find the rhythm of the performance.
Nevertheless, instead of leaving in a hurry ahead of time, Langley still stood behind the monitor and accompanied Bryce and Colin to browse all the wrong pictures. After confirming that there was no omission, he turned to a nearby place to have a rest, to give Bryce some space to think and to relax his mood——
In the scene just now, lanli seems very relaxed on the surface, but his spiritual requirement for control is not easy either. Now he needs to relax, clear his brain and have a rest.
In the line of sight, we can see two figures standing in the distance hesitantly, looking at him stealthily, but the action is too obvious to ignore.
