In the United States, when it comes to Nebraska, which is located in the Midwest, people's minds are very flat. To put it bluntly, they can't think of anything, because this state is completely lacking in features. Except for beef and corn husks, Nebraska There is nothing in Las Vegas that deserves attention, and many people even think that Omaha is the capital of Nebraska, when in fact it should be Lincoln.
Omaha is also a lackluster city, and aside from the title of "The Real... of the Union Pacific Railroad," there's not much more to discuss. Well, that's why the novel "In the Clouds" chose Omaha as the origin of the story. In addition to being located in the middle of the country, the cost of setting up a company is low, and it is convenient to travel around the United States. The dullness of the city also sets off the actor Rui. TU's layoff life was "colourful". In addition, in the context of the financial crisis, Omaha, which relies on agriculture for its livelihood, does not seem to be as severely impacted as the big cities, which also makes Omaha have a sense of stability in rural life that is out of place, and the complex prosperity of the major cities has formed sharp contrast.
After Evan-Bell arrived in Omaha, it did not cause much commotion among the local residents at all. The "In the Clouds" crew entered the filming venue very smoothly, and then began the shooting of Evan-Bell's third work this year.
Since the story of "In the Clouds" is closely related to aircraft, and the plot also changes back and forth between cities, Evan-Bell hopes to use aerial photography to show the most distinctive features of each city, which can not only highlight the characteristics of each city, but also Being able to bring out the feeling of being above the cloud also helps keep the story distinctly separate in this way without being completely isolated.
At this point, Evan Bell has made a whole new improvement compared to "Juno". He is now in the director's position and can quickly connect the picture style with the story line and between different rhythms. Find a balance.
Regarding aerial photography, Evan-Bell's experience is very rich. Starting from "Love Notebook", Evan-Bell began to use various shooting perspectives to realize the purpose of visualizing his mind pictures. It is fully reflected in the movie. This time, in order to fully bring out the theme of "in the cloud", Evan-Bell chose a passenger plane for aerial photography, because the passenger plane is the most stable, and the displayed picture will have a quiet and comfortable sense of tranquility.
While Evan-Bell was doing aerial photography, the "In the Clouds" crew gathered in Omaha to rehearse all the scenes not only to prepare for the upcoming shooting, but also to cultivate the tacit understanding between the cast and crew. After Evan-Bell came back from the aerial photography work, he originally thought that Evan-Bell would need to adjust a little before he could start shooting, but he didn't expect that Evan-Bell had only returned for thirty minutes, and discussed with Robert-Faris. After the shooting style, it officially entered the official shooting.
Regardless of the difference between the director's job and the actor's position, after just returning from aerial photography work, it is reasonable to be in a state of exhaustion, and it is not easy to quickly invest in the actor's work that requires 100% attention, let alone. Evan Bell is also a producer and director, and the workload cannot be underestimated. But Evan Bell went straight into filming without making too many adjustments.
Soon, Evan Bell used his skillful performance to tell everyone in the crew who had doubts why he didn't need to rest. The answer was: after the tempering and brewing of the two movies "One Day" and "Inception" And now Evan Bell's acting has reached a whole new level, "amazing" in the words of Charlize Theron.
For the first start-up scene, Evan-Bell chose a simple scene without an opponent. This is a scene where the actor Ryan gave a lecture. In the story, Ryan is a very successful business person who has published a book called "What's in Your Backpack". He is often invited to give speeches at various companies and parties and express his life. philosophy. There are three speech scenes in the whole movie, all of which are held indoors. The first scene should actually be filmed in the Hamptons, but because it was an indoor speech, Evan Bell put it in the Omaha studio ahead of time. shot inside.
In this scene dominated by Evan Bell, he brought his consummate control to a whole new level.
Robert Faris set up the camera and aimed it at the podium, and then all the cast and crew stood behind the camera to enjoy the Evan-Bell one-man show.
Evan Bell, or Ryan, is wearing a black business suit, ivory white shirt and burgundy polka-dot tie. There is nothing fancy or fashionable, just a standard business man image. Evan-Bell used makeup to dye his neat short hair and temples white, and mixed with a small part of white hair, and then made his face more ruddy. He looked like he was about forty years old. The most important point is that Evan-Bell wears a more pupil color-changing film, which makes his bright and clear blue eyes darker and turbid, which quickly achieves the purpose of increasing Evan-Bell's age.
Ryan walked onto the stage from the right hand side with a dark blue backpack that didn't look like Ryan at all, because it was exactly a sports backpack for fifth graders, even if just In Ryan's hand, it also looks out of place, making people want to shout, "Ryan, throw the Ken bag away." But Ryan took the backpack very calmly, as if he didn't find it at all. It doesn't match his temperament at all with his clothes.
When he got to the podium, Ryan put his backpack on the desk beside the podium, opened the zipper, then walked to the microphone and put his hands in his trouser pockets, "How much is your life?" Ryan With a faint smile on his face, he is confident, calm, and elegant. His voice is not too flamboyant or too urgent. There is a sense of freedom in control of everything, which makes people involuntarily have a sense of trust.
"Suppose you are wearing a backpack, I want you to imagine the straps on your shoulders, do you feel it?" Ryan glanced at the backpack, as if it was just a chat between friends, but different from friends There is a sense of authority that quietly exudes, and people naturally follow his words into the situation, "Now I want you to put everything in your life into this backpack, from the smallest object To start, the clutter on the shelves, in the drawers, the gadgets, the collectibles, the snacks, all the clutter, and feel the weight increase.”
Ryan's voice was very calm, without any special fancy, but it gave people a sense of convincing and a touch of warmth, which made the people who were going to listen to the speech and take notes raised their heads and locked their eyes on him. Ryan's face, "Now start to put bigger things in it, clothes, things on the table, lamps, hair, pillows, TV sets. Now it should not be small, and then put bigger things in it, Ryan's words are very simple, with a touch of cadence, quietly distinguishing the light and heavy parts of the words, "Your sofa, bed, dining table, car, put them all in. Your house, whether it is A single apartment or a two-bedroom, all packed into a backpack," Ryan paused for a moment, the curvature of the corner of his mouth widened a little, and then said, "Now, try to walk."
This made people laugh almost without thinking, the gentle laughter overflowed from the mouth, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth was also drawn unconsciously.
Ryan also had a big smile on his face, "Is it very heavy? This is what we do every day, we keep adding weight to ourselves until we can't walk an inch, we will never allow a single mistake, action is life." Ryan He nodded towards the ugly and childish sports backpack next to him, his brows furrowed slightly, exuding a charming mature charm, "Now, I decided to burn your backpack, what did you decide to take out of it? Photos? The photos are for those who can't remember things, drink some ginkgo drink and burn the photos."
Another pause, "Actually, burn everything, imagine wake up tomorrow morning, be alone, and travel light. Exciting, isn't it?"
This is Ryan, a short sentence that clearly outlines Ryan's personality and charm. Forty years old, middle-aged man, mature, confident, dashing, composed, calm, calm, relaxed and humorous. In the cadence of the speech lines, Ryan's image was thus presented.
This is Evan-Bell's profound knowledge, and quietly, just an ordinary speech, the character is completely presented.
Although the role of Ryan is also middle-aged, and also requires the performance to be restrained and silent, the way Evan Bell presents it is different, which is different from "One Day" Ridxter's introverted, "Inception" Cobb The depression is different, Ryan is more mellow, with the precipitation of the years to create a natural personality charm, just like the classic screen image of the golden bachelor in the black and white movies of the 1930s and 1940s, with one eye and one A single word with a smile shows the unique charm of a man.
Evan-Bell, without any rehearsal or rest, took the script and recited the lines and went straight to battle, but the performance presented made people stunned. This natural and familiar way of performance has pushed Evan Bell's acting skills to a new peak. As Charlize Theron puts it, "Amazing!"
