How to describe the performance of lanli exactly?
Objectively speaking, this is the first episode of a very ordinary play, there are not many highlights, there is no room.
In Hollywood's script mode, a conflict scene is often set up to make the protagonist shine on the stage. Through the protagonist's coping style and reaction characteristics, the protagonist presents a distinct outline of character and lays the foundation for the whole film; But today's scene is not like this. It's just a daily scene after the opening "shining debut", which means there is no room for performance.
Of course, the same is true of Langley's performance.
The simple performance can't detect any trace. It can be said that it is the stage to show the basic skills.
This does not seem to be in line with expectations.
disappointment? It can't be said that, after all, the entire production team are all senior professionals in the industry. They know that performance is not magic, and it's impossible to make a flower out of thin air, but it's inevitable that their expectations will fall. After all, the whole film industry is boasting of lenley, and it seems that they can make waves between every move, It's like a princess in a Disney animated movie.
But it turns out
However, people in the industry have also seen big waves. Even if there is no surprise, they still taste something: they are very solid in basic skills.
From the perspective of the first shooting, a short speech is mainly a test of the basic skills of lines. Even the body language and facial expression are relatively few. The "play space" is really limited. For most actors, it is a play that is easy to master, and there is no special challenge difficulty.
Of course, lanli is even more so.
However, Lan Li's real excellence lies in that although he is a basic part of the play, he also completes the shooting meticulously, which is worthy of recognition; In addition, Langley also showed his strong control.
"Control.".
This is the core idea of the first play. It can be seen from Lan Li's line control. The basic skills have reached a high level of perfection, such as pronunciation and intonation, accent and tone, speaking rhythm and action details. These basic skills are quietly integrated into the performance, and only a few strokes outline one side of the role, As vivid and delicate as "psychological portrait", this skill is enough to make people admire.
It's because of its simplicity, disappointment and lack of surprise, but it still shows its depth and skill. Lanli's professional attitude is impeccable.
This is the reason for the low voice on the scene - there is no way to do it. The aura of "blue hall" is too strong, and every move is the focus of attention
Good, also discuss; If it's not good, it's not good; Ordinary, the same argument.
Of course, the staff's comments were different from those of the actors. Cameron and Hannah couldn't help their excitement. "I really watched the lenley performance live. It really happened! I can't believe he's there! So close! There he is
David finch ignored the noise and bustle of the scene, stood in the same place and thought for a moment, savoring the scene, then bypassed the monitor, took the initiative to walk towards Langley, raised his chin from a distance and motioned, "how do you feel?"
Lanli pursed the corners of his mouth, and his expression was a little ambiguous - he still didn't adjust to the best state, he didn't feel warm-up enough, he didn't fully open up, and the whole investment lacked a little heat. But lanli also knew that this was the problem, not the lack of inspiration, but the lack of enthusiasm. It was difficult to mobilize enthusiasm even if he repeatedly filmed, He still needs to focus more on the performance itself, there is no need to force.
"What's the picture like?" Lanli needs to calm down to polish the performance slowly, put aside enthusiasm and positivity for the time being, and maintain a professional attitude.
"Impeccable." David said simply and directly.
Such a positive answer was to make blue Li smile and shake his head, "David, it's not like you at all." The pursuit of perfection, even to a strict degree, is David's correct style——
Don't be fooled by David finch's usual attitude. The director is the one who drives Jesse Eisenberg crazy on the "social network" set.
In the movie, Jesse's Mark Zuckerberg and Rooney Mara's date "break up" in a bar. Jesse has to complete a 99 sentence long dialogue, which is completed at the speed of a machine gun bullet, and no mistakes are allowed. This is the scene, David repeatedly let Jesse shoot more than 90 times, the whole crew are almost driven crazy by David, let alone Jesse himself.
But now?
David didn't mind if the lie was exposed. "I'm still worried about you breaking the contract and running away. After all, that little penalty is nothing to you. "
"Ha ha." Lan Li chuckled directly, and a smile flowed from the bottom of his eyes.
David slightly restrained his expression and seriously replied, "from the picture, there is really nothing to be picky about. We can go to the next shooting."
"But?" Lan Li raised her eyebrows.
"But," David continued, "it's up to you."
There's something unexpected about Langley.
David nodded his head and said, "from the director's point of view, I don't have any opinions. Your lines are still excellent. There's no problem shooting this time; But I'm not sure how you feel. From an actor's point of view, do you need to adjust? Or do you look for the state? "
Before the power on, lanli went all the way to find David and expressed his worry. Although David didn't say it on the surface, he was still on the alert in his heart.
But I didn't expect that the shooting of the first scene was so smooth and easy, and lanli's performance was completely above David's expectation: he was sincere in those praise. Originally, there was not much difficulty in the play, and lanli's interpretation of the role was really impeccable.
Lanli opened his mouth slightly and thought seriously, "no, I'm fine. Just follow your pace. I'm wrong in judging my own state now. I need the director's advice to guide the direction. So, you say there's no problem, and I have no problem. We can go to the next scene. "
There was a smile on David's mouth, and he said, "then we'll go to the next game."
With that, David turned and left, crisp, which made Lan Li pause for a moment, and the curvature of his mouth also rose.
Through the crowd, Langley's eyes fell on Rooney.
Lu Ni showed a smile to Lan Li. Her eyes seemed to be cheering for Lan Li. The bright light was enough to explain everything.
Lan Li spread out his hands, deliberately made a proud gesture, shrugged his shoulders to show that he was calm: the performance was just a piece of cake.
The smile rose from the bottom of her eyes.
As he gathered his attention, Langley began to prepare for the next play.
As for the first scene, lanli actually gained a lot.
He really lacks accurate judgment of his own state now - when shooting "detachment" before, he can detect delicate differences from each expression, and then repeatedly grope and adjust in the performance, finally find the right inspiration and present the correct performance; But now the state is not good, lack of overall view, lack of detail control, those judgments and feelings are not necessarily right, or even wrong.
Therefore, Langley still needs to perform according to the direction of the director, just like in the "Pacific War", literally.
In fact, as far as performance is concerned, lanli still keeps her concentration. The first scene is to test the basic skills, set up the character frame in advance, and then extend the whole system of speech and behavior according to these settings, followed by the polishing and presentation of pure basic skills.
The whole performance state really makes Lan Li feel like he has just entered the industry. He understands the role with the most basic and simple things, and then presents it. Solid basic skills are undoubtedly his best partner, while careful reading of the script is his best lesson.
It's a long time since lanli's simple and easy acting life. He hasn't stripped off those complicated things for a long time and immersed himself in pure basic skills practice. Even when he played "miserable world", he never did.
This time, it's really back to the starting point.
At the end of the performance, lanli once again savored the whole performance, the pronunciation, the intonation, the words, and so on.
In fact, from Lan Li's point of view, this kind of performance is slightly stiff. It's not facial expression or lines, but the soul of the whole character is not vivid enough. It's more a step-by-step scripted performance. He lacks his own interpretation of the role.
However, fortunately, the role of Horton Ford is somewhat rigid, low-key and introverted, and the mood is more sinking. Therefore, the "slightly rigid" performance can give the role another texture, and the invisible fit can also ensure the integrity of the role.
In addition, what David finch always likes is relatively cool performance: slightly stiff state, but still able to show delicate emotional changes, which is exactly in line with the overall tone of David's works. When Ben Affleck plays "the lost lover", his facial paralysis performance accidently fits the style of the work, and he is a real facial paralysis Instead of the facial paralysis with emotion surging under the expressionless face, it also succeeded unexpectedly.
Such a state of performance, whether it's David's angle or Langley's own angle, is a rare experience, which can be regarded as a novelty.
Although it's not obvious, it's very precious for Lan Li in the low state; Moreover, he can slowly ponder over the basic skills, just like returning to the Royal Academy of Arts and drama in London, or... Horton Ford is trapped in teaching at the base.
From this point of view, it's a wise decision to take on "mind Hunter": Langley is performing again.
