Chapter 2153

Eugene watched lanli quietly. He could feel the huge system behind lanli's whole topic. The content itself didn't have many unique ideas, but he was able to explain the whole story in a clear and well-organized way. It was very rare for him to start from the root and then grow into a towering tree.

"So have you ever taken a screenwriting course? Or a director course? "

The curiosity in his mind is just like weeds, and then he can't help it, so the question comes out abruptly. When the question comes out, he can detect the abnormality, but his eyes still can't help looking at lenley and waiting for lenley's answer.

"..." Lan Li also opened his mouth slightly: that's not the point, OK? But when he looked in his eyes, he knew that this strange man was serious, so he restrained his surprise and made a serious response

"No, I'm just thinking from the role. As you said, this society is very complicated. There are reasons for the formation of everyone, and everyone can become a mirror of this society. If we want the story to be simpler, then the script with two divisions is the best choice; But if you want the story to be more complex, then every character matters. I didn't take a screenwriting course. I'm just an actor - and an actor who thinks a little too much. "

Oggs slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Instead of expressing his position, he changed the topic, "so how do you arrange the role of David when you complete the setting according to your idea?"

"According to the setting of the whole story, different people may have different reactions. Some people still believe in love, but choose to hide themselves and obey the system; Some people refuse to believe in love and plan everything with rules and regulations. There is no doubt that human nature is complex. "

"But the more complex the story is set, the simpler the character's motivation needs to be, which can reflect those complexities, just like the white canvas can show more colors. So, I think David's setting should be simplified, allowing the audience to paint more colors after the viewing. "

"David believes in love. He believes in love purely and firmly, even foolishly, which makes him incompatible with the whole social system. Because most people are used to the existing system, his insistence becomes a joke, and the result is that he can't find an object any more."

"But according to the regulations, if you are over 18 years old and have no partner, you have to go to the hotel. So David's brother found a pretending object for him. They got married, but they never had children. They spent many years with each other. One day, his wife chose to leave -- "

"As for the reason for leaving, I think it can be set, but because the script can't reflect it, it may not have much impact. For example, she left for love. She fell in love with someone and left David for him, but she was abandoned and turned into an animal. "

"These are negotiable. You can add them or not. But after adding them, I think one or two sentences can be revealed in the script, which will become more interesting; But if you don't add it, it doesn't matter. In short, she left David. "

At this point, oggs interrupted Langley's words, "why do you think she left David for love? Not for any other reason? "

"That's character setting." Lanli showed a big smile. "If she chooses to leave for love, it will inspire David as an idealist, and it will also make him refuse to compromise. Look, even David's brother failed to find a partner after divorce and failed to go to the hotel. As a result, he was turned into a dog, but he still refused to compromise, He was sent to the hotel without finding true love. This is undoubtedly an interesting development. More importantly... "

"More importantly, later he learned that his ex-wife had also been transformed into an animal, which was another reversal. Should he believe in love or not?" The second half of the sentence was followed up by oggs himself.

In fact, Augus is still not convinced by Langley - he is a very stubborn person, but Langley's sincere discussion still moved him, which is why he invited Langley to say what he had set up. He wanted to listen to Langley's ideas, but he didn't think:

With Langley's words, oggs's ideas are gradually opened up. Now he finally understands the meaning of love, simplifies David's role, and then derives different possibilities from this simple starting point. David's brother and David's ex-wife can all become different refractions in this society, and eventually become the trigger point for the audience to think.

Despite his prejudice against Langley, it is certain that Langley is a very good actor——

As he said just now, the ability to analyze a character from the perspective of an actor, and from this character to the whole story background and social framework, extend branches and build the whole blueprint, is enough to surprise the director; Of course, lanli's idea is not necessarily accurate or perfect. That's why lanli put forward his idea and discussed it with the director. He threw out his inspiration and let the director think together. This is a height that countless actors can't reach in their whole lives.

However, there is one thing that Eugene doesn't quite understand: how is Langley going to use David to connect the hotel and the forest, and finally reflect on the society?

It's a matter of framework, not just of role. So how does Lan Li pry into the whole situation from the perspective of role?

Just now, Eugene couldn't help taking over the topic of Langley and expressing his own opinions. The inspiration storm in his mind couldn't stop.

"Or, she left David for money, because the family is the product of the system, so the combination of interests can't be more normal. But it turns out that being with David is more restrictive, so that she began to rethink the definition of love? Even go back to find David

"No, it's too simple and conventional, and the whole theme focuses on love. It shouldn't be like this. Do you think we should play David's ex-wife? Let my ex-wife come to the hotel and try to get back together with David? Or looking for love here again? "

These are all the words that Eugene said to himself. In his last sentence, he raised his eyes to Lan Li and cast an inquiring look; Lan Li also gave an answer.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I think the ex-wife is still hidden in the dialogue, leaving the audience to think, which is the best. But I think it can be set, because the whole system and society do not exclude the third party. As long as the marriage or divorce can be maintained in a relatively stable state, it is allowed or even encouraged, which is also a very important supplement to the whole story background. As a result, the departure of David's ex-wife is taken for granted, which can lead to more thinking. "

Lan Li's words once again cast a fire in his mind, and the whole person couldn't bear his excitement.

But this time, Eugene controlled himself and waved his hand again and again. "Ex wife can wait. The background extending from here is too huge. Where were we just talking about? About David? "

"Divorce." Lanli immediately linked up, "about the time when David's brother failed and was converted into a dog, and the time of divorce, these settings can be further refined and deepened. The impact of these events on David is objective, but now we pay attention to David's main line."

"This goes back to what we initially discussed: David is a man with the ability to find a partner, but why didn't he find one? Is it initiative or passivity? According to my conception, David refuses to make do with it because he hopes to find love. He believes in love

"But unfortunately, he was an alien, so he couldn't find it. He was sent to the hotel. In the first part, David took the initiative to find partners in different blind date occasions, but he was not able to succeed

"Wait!" "This is not in line with the setting of the hotel part. According to our conception, David's performance in the hotel is more often pretending to be a part of the group. He even found a partner, remember? It's just that he didn't get through the identification period successfully, and then he was found to be in disguise. "

"Yes, that's the point." Lanli nodded, "all the contents we discussed above will not appear in the movie, so when David just started to appear on the stage, he was indifferent and alienated, and then he realized the threat of death. He began to attack on his own initiative, even pretending to be himself. After being identified, he chose to escape from the hotel and enter the forest. So, what is the reason for all this? That's what we want the audience to understand. "

Because of love.

Instead of speaking, he raised his chin slightly. Now he finally got a glimpse of Langley's whole vision

David's setting is relatively simple: he struggles for love - from the beginning to the end, and then uses David as a mirror to reflect different aspects of society, including the hotel and the forest. Different systems project on David and evolve into different results. This is also the beginning and transition of the story, Through David's reaction in the story, it reveals the huge content set by the screenwriter.

This is the charm of the character!

"So David fled to the forest." He continued.

"So David came to the forest." Lanli went on to say that this is the first part of the script; The reason why lanli raised his objection before was that the first part and the second part of the script were separated, which led to the failure of the final core idea to be condensed. Now how should the second part develop?
