In 1975, the legendary actor Lawrence Oliver and the new actor Dustin Hoffman collaborated on a film called "Thunderbolt".
In the play, Dustin Hoffman's character has a scene to show a face of extreme decadence. He decided to start staying up late, and through this method of not sleeping for a long time, to express his decadent appearance more real.
You know, this year's Dustin Hoffman has just won the Oscar for Best Actor with "The Legend of Lennie"!
This awe-inspiring professionalism was admired by everyone on the set.
However, Lawrence Oliver sneered, with an indescribable mockery on his face, and said unceremoniously: "Can't you just act directly? Do you have to use this stupid method of replacing communication?"
At the moment, the atmosphere on the set became very awkward.
Lawrence Oliver is an "experiential" actor, starting from the self, from the inside out. As the saying goes, phase is born from the heart. When you truly understand and feel decadence in your heart, you will naturally start from yourself and become a character.
This kind of performance will be very real, allowing the actor's performance to achieve a sense of reality that is close to life and close to the subconscious.
And Dustin Hoffman, as an "expressionist" actor, is another acting mode. Emphasis on starting from the role, from the outside to the inside. The emphasis is on "character image", through the imitation of appearance, action and other aspects, to complete the interpretation to the heart.
Therefore, when expressing decadence, Dustin Hoffman chose to stay up late to objectively show the "decadent" side of his appearance, thereby driving the character's heart.
To put it bluntly, it is the exchange of emotions!
The decadence when you are sad and the decadence when you are tired are not much different, and you can replace the performance; when a straight man performs a show of falling in love with a man, you can replace it with the emotion of falling in love with a woman to express his love; the performance of crying with joy, maybe he Tears shed while fantasizing about some kind of heartbroken grief experience...
Because the model is simple, evidence-based, and the performance is stylized, the method school is very popular in Hollywood.
Especially in "The Godfather", Marlon Brando interprets the image of the Godfather vividly and vividly through a series of technical designs such as jujube in his mouth and cat in his arms, which has become an unsurpassable classic in the history of film.
The Method School also relied on the classic image of Marlon Brando's "Godfather", which caused a huge sensation in the industry. With the experience school created with the orthodox Stanislavsky performance system, it has a higher and lower qualification.
Several different performance methods, until today, are also the topic of debate in the performing arts, and many art academies have a clear value orientation.
The mainstream film academies still teach the same way as the Russian playwright Stanislavsky, relying on "really listening, seeing, and feeling" to achieve the high standards of the experience school. There is a supreme textbook, "Self-Cultivation of Actors". ;
Most of the French art academies advocate the expressionist performance model proposed by the French playwright and philosopher Diderot. Natalie was inspired by Luc Besson's performance when she filmed "The Killer Is Not Too Cold". this set;
There are also some anti-mainstream film models, represented by the New York University School of Art, which teach the method school improved by the American educator Strasberg. And this kind of non-mainstream concept is the mainstream of Hollywood performances, which makes people laugh and laugh.
In front of so many people, Tang En certainly couldn't talk nonsense.
Now in the experiential circle of Hollywood, there are several great gods such as Katherine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Al Pacino, Daniel Lewis, etc.; in the method circle, there are Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Das Ting Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and others sit in town.
Every force is extremely powerful, and in Dunn's identity, he must not publicly reveal any views that belittle one party.
Facing such a sharp question, Tang En smiled and said slowly: "Actually, in my opinion, whether it is an experience or a method, as long as the role can be played vividly, it is fine, there is no good or bad method. The score depends on the individual ability of the actor. For example, there is no difference between good and evil in guns, the key is who is using it.”
"At the beginning, Mr. Oliver did laugh at Mr. Hoffman, but don't forget, Mr. Oliver is thirty years older than Mr. Hoffman! Thirty years of life experience and performance experience, which is far beyond the method school and the The performance category of the experiential school has gone through, and after going through the world and reading thousands of sails, the method is the experience, and the experience has become the method.”
"Of course, I haven't studied acting in a systematic way. It's a family talk. In my opinion, in the final analysis, acting is still a process of accumulation of experience and hard work. You work hard and struggle, and the achievements that belong to you will naturally come. Come. I believe that the goddess of fate will take care of every hard worker who sweats, including me and naturally you!"
After Dunn finished speaking, after a brief silence, warm applause broke out immediately.
...
Dunn finally got out of the heavy siege, and found that Cameron was still sitting in the director's chair, repeatedly watching the scene just shot.
Don't mean to welcome Dunn at all.
"James, the schedule is important, but you should also pay attention to rest."
Hearing Dunn's voice, Cameron raised his head, said "um" casually, suddenly thought of something, waved his hand, and drove everyone around him away, then lowered his voice and asked vigilantly, "Recently Did you mess with Disney?"
Tang En said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, it's the new Disney movie, and the box office was crushed by "Spider-Man" again."
Cameron frowned and said solemnly: "No! There must be something else happening, I heard... Disney is very angry and has issued the most severe ban on you!"
"What? Blocked?"
Dunn was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong.
He's not an actor, block him!
And with the achievements Tang En has achieved now, in addition to making movies for his own family, can other film companies invite him?
Seeing Tang En disapprovingly and even sarcastically, Cameron said with a stern face: "Tang En, things are very serious now, I have been notified!"
"Notice? What?"
Dunn was at a loss, and he really didn't know what he was talking about.
Cameron said solemnly: "I have been notified, if I continue to choose to cooperate with you, then there will be no chance to cooperate with Disney in the future!"
Dunn frowned and realized the seriousness of the matter.
James Cameron received such a notice, doesn't that mean that many people have also received such a threat warning?
This is simply without you and me!
Disney has released a killer!
"When did it happen?" Dunn's voice was also much more solemn.
Cameron's face is also not very good-looking, after all, he is now a grasshopper with Dunn, "I just received a notice from the brokerage company this morning, listening to my broker's tone, this matter... it seems to be noisy. Pretty big."
Dunn didn't hesitate, immediately called the company and asked Bill McNick, "What happened?"
Bill McNick's voice was very serious, "Michael Eisner has done it! He issued the strongest block order to Disney, ordering all Disney's industries, not to report and disseminate any movies, TV series and related products produced by Dunn Pictures. ."
Tang En snorted coldly, "It's an old trick, Disney can't occupy the American media system!"
Bill McNick said: "But another thing is very serious. Disney has issued a notice to the five major brokerage companies. From today, all actors, directors and producers who have cooperated with Dunn Films on the film will be notified. , will not be a Disney partner."
Even though Dunn had made sufficient psychological preparations, he was still shocked by Michael Eisner's ruthless and powerful means.
Disney... this is a big move!
Cooperating with Dunn Pictures means losing the possibility of cooperating with Disney.
This is no longer a question of tearing one's face, but completely flipping the table to death!
Either way, with you and without me!
Disney, ruthless!
Michael Eisner, strong enough, strong enough, ruthless enough!
This move really has a bit of domineering and prestige of ancient kings.
"How is the company's situation?"
"Everything is normal. This news has not spread, and only a small number of people in the circle know about it. This is obviously bullying the small. In order to take care of its reputation, Disney should not make a big splash."
Tang En pondered, "Is there any countermeasures?"
Bill McNick said: "The PR department is negotiating with Disney, and I plan to meet with the CEOs of Warner, Universal, Columbia, and several established companies to talk about this, Disney... This is sabotage The movie market is in a good state right now.”
This move by Disney not only broke the rules of Hollywood, but also broke the concept of fair competition in the market.
In recent years, the market growth in Hollywood has been very healthy, and major film companies are definitely not willing to sit and watch Disney fool around and destroy the current good situation.
The corners of Tang En's mouth crossed a bit of indifference, and a resolute expression flashed on his face, "Cancel all measures and wait for the changes!"
Bill McNick exclaimed, "Dawn!"
"Bill, listen to me!"
Dunn interrupted him immediately, with a bit of sarcasm in his resolute tone, "Michael Eisner has been emperor for too long, thinking that everyone will be accustomed to him and dream! In my Dunn's place, his A set of imperial methods is useless!"
"Dawn, this matter is no trivial matter. Once it's a big issue... it's not good for anyone. I think it's better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible." Bill McNick once worked under Michael Eisner, and he is very familiar with that The means and energy of a Disney monarch.
Tang En said beyond doubt: "I have already decided that Tang En Pictures will not take any defensive measures against this matter! I will deal with everything after I go back!"
After hanging up the phone, James Cameron stared at Dunn in a daze, with gold stars in his eyes, a little confused, "Don, what have you done? No, you must have done a lot of things, that's why you're annoyed. Michael Eisner!"
Tang En was in a bad mood, so he waved his hand angrily, "I've never done anything too much! Oh, by the way, at most he called me twice. I pretended not to know and hung up as a harassment call. broken."
"what?"
Cameron called out, stunned in a daze!
