"Or, to modify the setting in the second half of the forest, which group of people should support love? Or support freedom? I don't have any more ideas about how to modify it. "
Lan Li's words revealed too much information, just like the big bang. He released all his ideas in one go, and then countless information in his mind began to billow up. His thoughts were connected with his thoughts, and the processing speed could not keep up——
It's like the computer doesn't have enough memory.
But Eugene shook his head gently, "no... no... it shouldn't be like this..." it sounds rough, and lanli's words seem to be very reasonable, but after careful reflection, Eugene had a different idea. He refused to be led by lanli's nose, "your whole idea is wrong."
Instead of looking up at Langley, he immersed himself in his own world. "Your settings and doubts are trying to simplify the story and present a single line and single level of thinking in a simple and crude way. Therefore, you want to simplify and clarify those settings, which is not the original intention of the whole play, What I hope to present is a complicated world outlook. How far should the whole social structure be complicated? But when the framework system cuts off those branches in an unreasonable way, the society will face the danger of collapse. "
Gradually, his thoughts became clear again. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at lenley with bright eyes. "I need to keep those complexities and uncertainties. I hope the audience can have their own ideas and trigger the collision of different thoughts after watching the film. This is also our conscious behavior in the stage of script creation, What you said is exactly the effect we want to present. "
"I don't think you understand me." Langley shakes his head slightly. He knows that there is prejudice in Eugene - he always thinks that he is trying to "force" him to submit aggressively, but in fact, Langley is really discussing the script and the role.
Does he want to play lobster? yes; Does he want lobster to be a great work? yes. So, if Colin Farrell is the premise for lobster to make a great work, will he be willing? The answer is yes. He will try his best to fight for the chance to perform, but he won't be dogged.
Now, he needs Angus to sort it out.
"You mean, I hope this story can make people think differently about social system, love, family and so on." Langley slowed down and said calmly, leaving enough time for him to think.
But Eugene showed a puzzled look. His eyes twinkled slightly at Lan Li, and he was alert all over.
This makes Langley a little funny and helpless. "Oggs, if you treat me as a bad person and are robbing your works, then we can't continue to talk."
Eugene's expression was a little embarrassed, but there was no affirmation or negation, so he looked at Langley - since he was not good at words, he simply didn't say more.
Langley can only continue to say, "let's calm down. You want the audience to think about this system and burst out different possibilities in the complicated relationship. Undoubtedly, this is a very grand idea. But do you realize that your ability is not in line with your ambition?"
What he is good at most is peeping at one side of the society in the small pattern. When he is out of the scope of the small pattern, he is easily at a loss“ "Lobster" is just like this. The whole concept is very delicate, but the window is fuzzy.
"I don't think it's necessary. You can evaluate my work, but you should not attack my quality and ability. I don't think your behavior is praiseworthy. "
"Then, you should also show the corresponding attitude. If you can't straighten out your attitude, we'll never find a result in our conversation, and I don't think it's necessary to continue. You can look for other actors to play in this work. I'm disappointed, but I won't stand in the way. " Lan Li also put his attitude in order, said solemnly and sternly. It can't be said that the firepower is fully open, but it is also a firm position.
"You really don't mind?" He caught the chance and muttered, but he didn't hold back after all, but he regretted it just as he said it, because of his impulse and his unbearable idea, "I don't mean that."
But blue Li didn't mind waving his hand. "There's no need to be sorry. Cooperation needs the will of both sides. If there is any sense of coercion, then things will be meaningless. " Then Lan Li raised his eyebrows.
"I don't think small pattern is a disadvantage. Woody Allen has been discussing the small things of New York middle class all his life, but it doesn't prevent him from becoming a great director; Alfred Hitchcock has been discussing love and suspense all his life, but his excellence is beyond doubt. I just think that if you can clearly understand your abilities and talents, and determine your strengths, and carry them forward, you can be called a genius, and those who are more ambitious than your abilities will eventually capsize. "
Rarely seen, Langley showed his sharpness - not in front of reporters or enemies, but in front of another brilliant director.
If it's a director with a hot personality, I'm afraid he's already directly off the table at the moment; However, instead of breaking out directly, he watched Langley quietly and seemed to be savoring the meaning behind the words
He was uncomfortable - to be sure, no one liked to listen to those harsh criticisms, and he was no exception. At the moment, his heart was very uncomfortable, but he didn't burst out. Instead, he calmed down and began to think. He and lenley do stand in the opposite, but at the same time he and lenley also stand in the same situation: working together to tell the story of "lobster".
Although he is not sure whether Lan Li is sincere or not, he is still calculating himself; But he can't deny that he is full of curiosity about lanli's ideas and ideas - even if lanli criticizes that his "ability is not worthy of ambition", he is still curious about lanli's ideas of stories and characters.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath again, and secretly take a deep breath. Engels stealthily hides all his thoughts and reactions. "Then, according to you, in a small pattern, reflecting different aspects of the whole society, what should you do?"
After all, he still put his mind at ease and kept a low profile. He was really on an equal footing with Langley and got to the point smoothly. At this moment, the discussion about "lobster" really came to the key position.
"The works that present all kinds of social situations rely on all living beings under one concept. In short, different people react differently to a homicide case, and then these different reactions reflect different personalities, different families, different education and different classes, and finally piece together all kinds of social situations."
When Langley said this, he stopped for a moment and looked at Eugene. Although he didn't get approval, he didn't arouse opposition. It can be seen that Eugene has set his mind right and really opened his heart to listen to his ideas. Finally, things have crossed the first threshold. Langley went on.
"Well, now there is only one concept of lobster, that is, this murder case, but there are no such characters. In other words, there is no way to connect these characters with the whole concept. What I'm talking about is the role of David, but at the same time, it's also two different characters in the hotel and the forest, and it's the woman that David finally fell in love with. "
"Let's look at it this way: the system supported by the hotel, the concept supported by the forest, and the people represented by David and women are all derivatives from this social system, and their different personalities and attitudes present different aspects of the whole society. But now, none of those differences can be seen. "
"First of all, the opposite system of hotel and forest is actually the same system, just a supporting family, so that no matter what form of family support; The other supports independence, and then any form of Union will be destroyed. These are two extremes, forming the whole distorted situation. There is no problem in itself. As you said, different people in the same background can derive different personalities and states, which is also what the film needs to explore. "
"But now, the setting of David and women in the script is vague. They can't support the setting of 'society'. They seem to support the hotel and oppose it, they seem to support the forest and they are not satisfied with it. This kind of ambiguous setting can't be connected with the society at all, let alone criticize or reflect on it."
"Do you want to present a pluralistic reflection? No problem, then you have to start from the hero and heroine, how much social influence they reflect, then the audience can accept. That's why I said, either change the setting of forest and put it on the opposite side of society, just like "hunger game", set up two opposite sides and conflict, then the reflection that the creators expect will become very clear; Or we can change the setting of the two roles and reflect the results under the social framework - those abnormal results through their choices and decisions. "
The endless discourse really dissects the core idea of the whole story, and then finally returns to the origin: This is the positive reason why lanli proposed the role setting - not to facilitate his own performance, but to establish the core idea of the whole story.
Instead of interrupting, he listened carefully and said without warning, "so have you ever taken a screenwriting course? Or a director course? "
"..." Lan Li also opened his mouth slightly: that's not the point, OK?
