In the work "In the Clouds", the character with the most dramatic conflict should be Natalie played by Blake Lively. This character has another obvious psychological transformation process during the whole story.
Relatively speaking, Ryan and Alex do not seem to have much room for play, but in fact they are.
There is one quality in both characters Ryan and Alex, which is maturity. This is a trace that has settled down over the years and cannot be erased from age. To make an image metaphor, when you taste a cup of coffee, you may be anxious to drink the first sip when you are young, and prefer to add milk and sugar; and When you are young, you will not be in a hurry to drink the first sip, and your dependence on cream and sugar will also decrease; after entering middle age, you will slowly start to learn to taste hot black coffee; in old age, a cup of coffee will become leisurely. The most beautiful existence in the afternoon.
Of course, this analogy is a generalization, and it may not be so accurate, but it is a good expression for a trend of ageing. In Ryan and Alex, there is this elegant charm that has been condensed over the years.
In the whole story process, Alex actually showed very little conflict, but her mature, lazy and **** charm is the most outstanding and most difficult part of this role. Don't underestimate this "maturity", in fact, Alex's maturity is very complicated, not only has the understanding of life, but also has a short escape from family life, a faint nostalgia for Ryan's embrace, Being proactive about work and life, and having a solid understanding of interpersonal relationships, this inner complex cohesion has become a maturity, which is fully reflected in Alex's lazy smile.
It is not easy for Charlize Theron to play the role of Alex well. He must have a mellow Tai Chi gossipist, which is not only possible by his own performance. Therefore, Evan Bell knew from the beginning that the role of Alex would be the biggest difficulty for Charlize Theron, because not only does he have no acting crutches, but he also needs a restrained and extremely rounded brilliance.
Sure enough, Charlize Theron analyzed the role of Alex in great detail and complexity, but he was too obsessed with these details and lacked the understanding of taking a step back.
Charlize Theron can't really admire Evan Bell. Just the first scene he shot, he gave himself a "disappointment" and gave him a fresh understanding of the whole character. Charlize Theron realized that in terms of acting skills, it is not only limited to the script and the understanding of the characters, but also the understanding of the entire story framework and character background.
Take "One Day" as an example. Although the film and novel only select July 15th every year to tell the story, is it possible that Emma and Dexter spend time at other times besides this day? Is there no intersection? Of course not, movies and novels just use artistic techniques to integrate the invisible time and content into the day of July 15th.
Even if it's just a simple day, it's not such a simple day in the character's entire life. Everything has its cause and effect. Even if it is just a simple story, it is bound to be linked to this one event from countless previous events, and more and more wavelengths will be generated because of this one event. No person or thing can exist independently.
It's not the first time Charlize Theron has known about this statement, otherwise she wouldn't have performed so well in "The Devil". But today, through the inspiration of Evan Bell, Charlize Theron has a clearer understanding, especially how Alex, a character without any leverage, should perform and grasp it. A very difficult process.
"Evan, I need to adjust." Charlize Theron said immediately when he realized that there was still a mistake in his understanding of the character. However, she also noticed that Evan Bell's understanding of characters and scripts is different from that of most directors in Hollywood at present. He attaches great importance to the existence of characters as independent personalities. This is not a biography of a film. It is a very special point of view. So Charlize Theron said, "Evan, I want to talk to you about the role of Alex, okay?" She thought she could definitely benefit a lot from the conversation.
Evan Bell smiled, "Of course, even if it is for you to play well, I will never refuse."
Blake Lively stood beside him, but fell into another deep thought of his own. She was not complacent because she guessed Evan Bell's idea correctly, on the contrary, she settled down and began to think about the role of Natalie. This kind of opportunity to break through the bottleneck is not very common.
When Evan Bell and Richards Theron officially entered the shooting, Blake Lively was still standing behind the monitor, carefully pondering the performance of the two actors.
This time, Charlie Theron changed the rhythm of the entire performance. Her right hand was no longer a wine glass, but her own phone. A glass of tequila was just placed on the bar. Before Evan Bell noticed her, she kept her head down. When texting, it could be a work matter, it could be a family matter, it's all possible. This simple change makes a big difference in the first impression of the character.
"Are you satisfied with Mesto (brand of an American car rental company)?" Ryan asked.
A lady in a white silk shirt and a black one-line skirt sat on the back chair of the bar, her right hand was sending a text message, and her left hand was holding a bunch of keys, fiddling with her fingertips. Her blond curly hair hangs casually on her shoulders, her right hand rests on the back of the chair, her long hair hangs down, she is lazy and sexy, but her expression is very focused. Busy things take all the attention.
Hearing the voice on the other side, the woman raised her head, she raised her face straight, those eyes looked at the man in front of her with clear and distant eyes, she didn't even plan to look at him, just fixed on the man's face in front of her. At this time, he looked at the keychain in his hand, "Yes, I'm very satisfied." The woman lowered her eyes and turned her attention back to the phone, obviously not too concerned about the man in front of her.
"Their mileage is very strict. I like Hertz (the American car rental giant)." Ryan pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
When the woman heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, "No, Hertz's car is too old. I never drive a car with more than 20,000 miles." But after she finished speaking, her gaze stopped. Hanging down again, he saw the phone screen again.
"Mesto can't check out immediately, I like to stop and go." Ryan was not in any hurry at all, he just continued to follow the woman's words calmly, his calm tone was **** and magnetic.
These words made the woman put down the phone a little, frowning calmly, obviously the man's words interested him, "Hertz doesn't provide navigation."
"You don't look like a lady who needs to navigate.
' Ryan replied.
Although the woman still had the phone in her hand, her eyes really stayed on Ryan's body, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a lazy **** between the drooping hair, "I hate it. I asked for directions, so I chose the navigation service." After speaking, the woman lowered her head and focused on her phone again, as if there was some important work there, which showed her invisible rejection to men.
But how could Ryan give up so easily, "The new company Colonel is not bad." His words suddenly made the lady stop her work, the smile on her face was a bit of shock and incredible, she was ridiculous Say, "Is this a joke?"
"Yes." Ryan's answer immediately made the woman's words start to grow. "Their booths suck." "Never upgrade their service." "Their cars are like a bunch of broken boxes, I really don't understand. Why do they still work?" Ryan's conversation with the woman went back and forth like this, immediately entering skilled mode.
"I'm Ryan."
"I'm Alex."
Ryan showed a faint smile, not exaggerated, with a mature charm that could not be expressed in his steadiness; Alex also showed a shallow smile, the smile was not big, and the eyes flickered, but the difference between his eyebrows. The laziness exuding from exhaustion exudes fatal charm in her drooping blond hair and open two-button white shirt.
"Ka!" Robert Faris shouted out to bring the scene to an end.
Evan Bell and Charlize Theron both walked behind the monitor to watch the replay just now, but Blake Lively, who was standing behind him, began to reminisce about the scene just now, although Charlize- Theron still didn't control her eyes, but her mature and lazy feminine charm made people unable to take their eyes off her. It only took a back-and-forth dialogue of less than 30 seconds to instantly grab the audience's heart.
In this scene, outsiders can't actually see anything, but Blake Lively witnessed the entire shooting process, but he can clearly feel Evan Bell's control over the entire scene as the director, and his body For the actor's ability to control the performance, people can't help but want to applaud.
Not only Blake Lively, but Charlize Theron as a client, has this clear feeling. After watching the replay, she thought for a while, "Evan, give me a little more time." She still Need to adjust again, this completely restrained performance is also a challenge for Charlize Theron.
Evan Bell stood beside him and laughed, "Tick tock, I'm still waiting for you to go to the cinema to watch 'One Day'." This suddenly made Charlize Theron also laugh.
