The midsummer July has come, and Evan Bell joined the crew of "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight..." on July 3rd. At this time, the crew had started filming for more than half a month.
Evan Bell arrived in Chicago as early as June 18, but he still felt that his condition was not right. He needed to calm down and get rid of all distracting thoughts. Playing the role of the clown this time is different from any previous role. When Evan-Bell encountered a bottleneck before, he continued to explore, integrate and improve in the performance process, but this time, the role of the clown brought Evan to the role. The enormous pressure of Vin-Bell made him appear to be on the verge of collapse before filming, especially as the start-up time approached, this situation became more and more obvious.
Evan Bell knows very well that the acting bottleneck that he has not encountered for nearly two years since "Brokeback Mountain" has come again.
After "Brokeback Mountain", Evan Bell's performance has entered a new level, and his understanding and integration of the role has reached a new height, especially the delicacy and authenticity in the performance, which has established the essence of the role. stand up. However, whether it's "Brokeback Mountain", "Perfume", "Survival in the Wilderness," including "Blood is Coming," Evan Bell is more of a restrained emotion, with a quiet and subtle feeling to drive the angle is
But this time, the role of the clown is different. What the Joker needs is that Evan Bell can be released, but this release is different from the release of the priest Eli Sandy in "The Blood Will Come". The release of the Joker can be controlled at will, while Eli Sandy is more inclined to be out of control and indulge in ambition. In short, what the clown needs is freedom of retraction and precise control!
Retractable and free, any actor can say that he is "retractable", because the most basic performance of retractable is to enter and go out. Entering the state of acting is "release", and returning to normal state is "received". But for real acting masters, the freedom to retract and release is more profound. This is not a simple problem of crossing between actors and characters, but more of a fusion of actors and characters, who can freely associate themselves with the parts similar to the characters. Release it, and then achieve a perfect fusion with the character, and be able to express the essence of the character with precise control, but it stops.
This is not an easy task.
The role of the clown just needs this kind of control. The Joker is crazy, but he is not a madman without reason and no brain. On the contrary, the Joker's ingenuity is top-notch. He easily plays Batman with applause. His madness is more hidden in reason and intelligence. Under the unscrupulousness of the coat, there is no moral or legal law that can restrain the clown's behavior. Therefore, the expression and language of the clown, and even his words and deeds, can be seen in the mind of this kind of "disappearing ashes while talking and laughing".
Evan Bell's state for a period of time after arriving in Chicago was that he released too much, and felt that the clown was out of control, and the whole person was like a train that was going to derail at any time. It is self-destruction; or it is too restrained, and it feels that the clown is portrayed as a pretentious literary youth, with an understatement of high IQ crime, as if he is drinking coffee at the moment, and there are thousands of lives hanging by the thread, but the clown It's not "Thirteen Arhats," you don't need to pretend.
Therefore, Evan-Bell's whole person is like a world of ice and fire. He only feels that he is about to be schizophrenic, and the whole person is ups and downs in the role of the clown.
If it is in this situation, then the state of the clown on the screen is estimated to be really crazy, and the whole is a mentally unstable lunatic. Therefore, Evan Bell cannot enter the crew at the first time, he must find a certain degree of control before the show of the Joker starts, and control the role in his own hands.
It's really absurd to say, "The character is out of control," which makes others probably laugh when they hear it. But this is the truth. You can only experience this feeling after your acting skills have reached a certain level. If you are too involved in the play, or the actor's control of the role is not precise enough, there will be situations where the force is too much or the words are not expressive, and even the There will be a state of inability to distinguish between acting and life, resulting in the actor's schizophrenia.
This is real!
Evan Bell is not yet twenty-five years old this year, and it is indeed very rare to be able to touch this level of acting skills. You know, Leonardo DiCaprio never reached this level when he filmed "The Blood Will Come" not long ago, and was still in a groping stage, so Leonardo DiCaprio Ao more often needs to communicate with Evan-Bell, and under the guidance of Evan-Bell, present the essence of the character.
It's not that Leonardo DiCaprio is not good, if he is not good, even if Evan Bell's directing ability is strong, the actor will not be able to present the effect the director wants; it's that Leonardo DiCaprio The bottleneck that Prio is currently encountering has not reached the current level of Evan-Bell. In short, if Evan-Bell can break through, then the result is that Leonardo-DiCaprio needs to be in Evan-Bell. Under the guidance of Bell, there was a wonderful performance, and Evan Bell was able to control all the situations with ease, showing the same wonderful performance.
So, Evan Bell knew that his state was very dangerous. When Christopher Nolan came to the door, he expressed his meaning. Christopher Nolan was startled when he saw Evan at that time, because when he came to the door, Evan Bell was like a clown walking into life, but he was in an uncontrollable state, as if he was going down. One he would blow up the hotel.
Evan Bell hopes that "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight..." will start up first, and shoot other scenes without him. When he feels it is suitable, he will take the initiative to contact Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan agreed without any hesitation. Not only was he not in a hurry, but on the contrary, he was very worried about Evan Bell's state. After all, this state of running back and forth between the ice and fire was indeed too dangerous.
So, "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight..." took the lead in going to Hong Kong, China, where the first scene of the movie was filmed. In the movie, Batman needs to rush to China and Hong Kong to capture Liu, who knows where the underworld hides the money, and then force him to find out where the underworld hides the stolen money.
The crew stopped in Hong Kong for a full week before returning to Chicago to start filming for Christian Bale's Batman part. At the same time, Evan Bell has been trying to figure out the role. He didn't move out any acting theories, but used his psychological knowledge to hint at his own situation, and then accurately substituted the role of the clown into the role. .
Evan Bell found that writing a clown diary was really helpful. After writing the diary for more than three months, he felt more and more handy when performing. Accompanied by Teddy Bell, Evan Bell locked himself in a Chicago hotel room for half a month, and finally found the song of the show.
Evan Bell was able to control the role of the Joker at this time, but it was still a little jerky, and the rest was integrated through the filming of the entire movie. I believe that after the filming of "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight...", Evan Bell's understanding of performance is bound to rise to a higher level. The challenge this time is really adrenaline.
On July 3, Evan Bell officially joined the crew, put on the clown costume that the crew had prepared for him, and then started putting on makeup. In order to play the clown, Evan Bell specially read the image in the original comics. In the original comics, the clown is naturally curly hair that is half-length over the ears, and then the makeup with green hair and red lips is very iconic. So after filming "There Will Be Blood", Evan Bell didn't cut his hair and kept it all the time.
This time, the stylist cut Evan Bell's hair, which was almost to the shoulders, a lot, just covered his ears, and then curled all the hair, and at Evan Bell's request, dyed it Fluorescent green, plus Zhao makeup and costumes, once the whole set of makeup is put on, Evan Bell's clown image is vivid on paper.
The first scene Evan Bell joined the crew was to shoot the bank robbery scene. That scene was very simple, and Evan Bell completed the filming with almost no effort Today is Evan Bell entering The second scene since the crew, and this second scene is a very difficult scene. The sentence "why be so serious" is one of the most classic lines of the clown.
And just now, Evan-Bell shocked the whole crew with his performance. It is hard to believe that the man in front of him is the familiar Evan-Bell. Evan-Bell not only put on makeup, but also changed his own Voice, Evan-Bell's original voice was relatively clear, but now Evan-Bell has lowered his voice, using the resonance of the vocal cords to create a hoarse and low-pitched effect, coupled with the rich expressions and vivid language. Force, even Christopher Nolan can't stand it.
Evan Bell seems to have some signs of getting into trouble now. He didn't come out of the character during the filming interval, and he still had that creepy smile and tone.
Teddy Bell stood beside him and was uneasy. He was very worried, because Evan Bell had not shown signs of such an obsession for a long time. Even while filming "Perfume," even when "Brokeback Mountain" was at its hardest, that didn't happen. The time when Evan Bell really got too deep into the play should have been during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Adapted Screenplay", but now, Evan Bell has actually appeared in this situation again, and he is still such a dangerous role as the Joker, How could Teddy Bell not be worried?
