Langley's back.
In fact, such a description is not very accurate, because lanli has never left, so he can't come back; At the same time, lanli's state has not been 100% recovered, and the butterfly's flutter and expectation have been rekindled. However, the state and rhythm still need time to adjust, and now there is no real return.
But... The way of expression doesn't matter. What really matters is that lanli is really back on the right track. Lanli, who is crazy about acting, is back on the road of actors again. After more than half a year of ups and downs, lanli still sticks to the purest and simplest himself.
The final play of the last episode of "soul Hunter" has been shot, but the shooting work is still not over, and the daily work is going on step by step.
The shooting difficulty of the remaining parts of the cast is relatively low, and the atmosphere of the set is much more relaxed and comfortable. However, Lan Li spends more and more time reading the script.
At ordinary times, when playing, lanli is also very involved, and the symbolic prank reappears again; However, while relaxing, he devoted more and more time to performing. For others, it was work, but for lanli, it was enjoyment. He was completely immersed in the world of the script.
Cameron is always around lanli, just like a little tail. The whole crew calls him "lanli's little Valet", but Cameron doesn't care at all. Instead, he is more and more happy. Whenever there is an opportunity, he comes forward to chat with lanli.
In fact, Cameron knows that he can only be a "special actor" because his figure and height are too conspicuous, and the difficulty of losing weight is beyond imagination. This also means that his prospect in Hollywood is relatively narrow, and his willingness to find his role is relatively fixed, which makes it difficult to open up a wide sky.
But Cameron does not mind, he is willing to become an unknown little actor, just dedicated to their role in the performance; Of course, it's not easy to make a living, but the salary of "soul Hunter" is enough for him to live in Los Angeles for two to three years - a frugal and low-key life, which is enough. Cameron can wholeheartedly seek his own role and immerse himself in it.
It's like Don Quixote.
"... ha, this is a question without the right answer."
When Cameron asked what Langley was reading when he read the script over and over again, Langley burst out laughing.
After pondering for a moment, Langley seriously replied, "there are two main points. These are my personal habits. First, I try to read emotions. In the world of performance, the life and stories of characters are often beyond our reach. For example, Horton, I can't talk to serial killers, and you can't get bloody by hand; But emotions are common, and I want to be able to read the emotions of the characters. "
Cameron chewed.
"Most of the time, our emotions are not single, joy or sadness, we are not children, just like Pixar Animation 'brain agent team' said, mixed, this is growing up, and the real real world, our emotions are more complex, can not be simply generalized."
Langley continued, which made Cameron gently raise his jaw. "You mean, like Horton, he's afraid of potential death threats, but at the same time, he can't resist the yearning for Edmond. Then, he starts to fear his deep yearning further."
This is the level of emotion.
Lanli's performance is always able to present the psychology of the role in a delicate and rich way, and penetrate layer upon layer, so that the audience can savor different feelings - obviously, reading the script and lines is the foundation, or the starting point, and then build the whole world.
"Right." Lenley showed a smile. "Second, I try to read the story. In fact, it has many similarities with Horton. He is also trying to read the story of Edmond and other serial killers. We can trace each other's behavior, attitude and emotion. Those experiences will leave traces on us more or less, And for actors, they need to understand the traces. "
"Psychology?" Cameron immediately took notes under his notebook.
This made Lan Li laugh. "This is not a performance class." But Cameron still seriously marked "psychology" on his notebook, "if you want, you can really read some psychology books, but it's not necessary. After all, there are differences between actors and Horton."
"For actors, the most important thing is to guess and understand. We need to understand the role, which is the core issue. As for whether it is through psychology, personal experience or field investigation, it depends on the actors themselves. " While speaking, Langley can see that Cameron once again wrote down the key words such as "personal experience" and "field investigation", and his eyes could not help laughing. "Everyone has his own way. The most important thing for an actor is to find his own way of performing according to his own situation. Other opinions are just for reference."
"... my own way... Everything else is just for reference..."
Cameron wrote down these key words in neat handwriting. His meticulous appearance made lanli smile. Cameron pursed the corners of his mouth slightly shyly, "I... I just..."
In the future, we may not find such an opportunity. To listen to the acting director in front of Lan Li is not so much to record the acting skills as to record Lan Li's words.
Cameron tried to explain something, but found it more unspeakable.
"It seems that someone is in a good mood today."
There is a voice coming from the front. After successfully breaking through Cameron's siege, you can see Andy Rogers's chubby figure coming unsteadily.
Blue Li slightly frowned, looked at Andy with critical eyes, "recently, some people appear a little high frequency."
Andy is very calm, hands are still on the belly of the beer gently patting, "no way, the responsibility of the agent in the body, had to work harder."
Lan Li didn't respond. Instead, he looked at it carefully for a moment and asked curiously, "have you gained weight again?"
Andy doesn't speak. He looks at lanli quietly and expresses his protest with his eyes.
Cameron, sitting next to him, could feel the pressure, and then stood up a little more rigidly, "I... I need to prepare for the next play, Langley. I won't disturb you to rest." With that, Cameron bowed his head and walked away quickly, his heavy figure walking like a flying horse.
"Look, you scare the young people." Lan Li said solemnly.
Andy decided to ignore directly, "I heard that the shooting progress is good recently."
Blue Li picked the eyebrow tail, noncommittal, because he knows that this is obviously not the main purpose of Andy to visit the crew again.
Andy knows that his recent crew visits have been too frequent. Obviously, this is not the rhythm that Langley likes. He prefers to have a quiet and independent environment, but Andy still goes his own way, because he can't rest assured and worries about Langley's condition after all.
Andy sat down beside lanli and said, "well, are you ready now?"
Langley was dumbfounded and said, "Mr. Andy Rogers, are you pressing me to reemploy immediately?"
Andy patted his belly with complacency and did not deny that he was really putting pressure on lanli to get back on track as soon as possible. It was not because lanli needed to work or plan his career, but simply because he expected lanli to find enthusiasm.
He still likes the Lan Li who is desperate for performance. Even in the performance world, Lan Li may be very hairy or troublesome, but that kind of Lan Li is fresh and flexible, that kind of Lan Li is real and beautiful, and he really miss that fastidious Lan Li.
Andy understands that lanli needs some pressure from his works. An attractive and excellent work like "the city of love" can come in more than one, constantly tempting lanli. If he can't do it once, he can do it twice. If he can't do it again, he can do it three times, four times, five times, step by step.
One day, Langley will come back, Andy firmly believes.
So Andy shows up again and throws the temptation at blue.
Looking at the old God in Andy, blue Li's smile is also slightly flashing, "don't worry for the moment. I still want to slow down. "
Although his enthusiasm has revived, he is also looking forward to joining other works and joining the performing world again; But he doesn't want to act too hastily. After all, his current attitude is different from that when he joined the industry. His future career as an actor is still very long and everything is possible. He should expect more challenges and more possibilities, slow down and maybe see different scenery.
Andy said softly, "don't worry, of course not. We can look at the script first, and then choose it slowly. Even if we make the film, we don't have to start shooting immediately. Think about Jurassic world and grand theft one. After making the film, we have to wait so long before we put it into production. "
"So, you recommended another 'Grand Theft one' Blue Li a counter question, immediately put Andy choked.
Andy turned a blind eye and Tucao went to make complaints about "how do I recommend" the first theft of a thief "? Obviously, Langley is not so easy to manipulate. "I mean, are you ready to go through the script again?"
Lan Li gently breathed out a breath, thought for a moment, but still shook his head, "no, don't worry. I need to get busy with the work at hand, then take a vacation for a while, and then slowly start to read the script. Maybe I should go back to the west end, where there are lots of experimental scripts, which are quite interesting and challenging. "
It's neither for fame nor for profit. Now, lanli is really free to choose any work, literally any work, just like Meryl Streep.
Andy did not persuade too much, just turned his head and looked brightly at Lan Li, "what about Manchester by the sea?"
