2166 The Verge
"Cards!"
Owgels's voice sounded at the scene, and finally interrupted the performance of the whole scene, and there was a slight commotion within the crew, and their eyes intertwined with each other with some excitement:
Although he was still confused and didn't understand what was going on, Lan Li's performance was obviously off track, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the kind of fast and slow rhythm control and emotional changes from high to low gave a short conversation infinite connotation!
Some introverted and some naïve, some curious and some wooden, some weird and some cute, a lively image jumps on the paper. They have no way of knowing whether this is David's best form of performance, but it is certain that Lan Li has given David a vivid demeanor, and the whole character has become vivid and vivid, and a subtle chemical reaction that collides with the lines of the script is really unbearable.
This is undoubtedly a high-level comedy performance, which does not seem to have much action, but perfectly integrates the details of the performance with the characters, with the lines, and with the plot!
The whole set is filled with a subtle sense of joy, not the kind of laughter, but the can't help but banter, which makes people look forward to the follow-up story that happened to this character, and also makes people curious about the follow-up context of this story. From that point of view, the first scene was a great success!
The staff began to exchange glances with each other, but in each other's eyes caught a cheerful smile, as well as curious confusion, what is going on? What kind of magic did Lan Li perform for the character of David? Although there are countless praises about Lan Li, it seems that his ears have grown calluses, but after really experiencing it, he can understand what that kind of "magic" is really like, which makes people tremble involuntarily.
"Ahem!"
The sound of coughing broke the silence of the scene for a moment, and then all eyes were projected in the direction of Oggs.
"I'm sorry, Lan Li, can I trouble you to come out for a while? Ogles looked at Lan Li and asked politely.
Lan Li stood up, "Of course there is no problem. ”
When he stood up, his shoulders were slightly open, his spine was slightly straightened, and his chin was slightly raised, and the whole standing posture and movements changed subtly, and even his expression and eyes also changed delicately, so that David disappeared, and the familiar Lan Li appeared in front of him again.
It's magical!
is also introverted, but David is more wooden and more restrained, a little shy and honest; the same low-key, but David also has a faint retreat inferiority, and his eyes dodge more frequently. The whole inside-out temperament changes, and even without makeup, it can show the effect.
That's the power of acting!
Under the eyes of everyone, Lan Li and Ogs left the front desk of the hotel and walked to the door of the hotel, and then the low chatter of the staff began to spread.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Ogels's expression is not very good. ”
"Isn't Ogles satisfied?"
"Is there a problem with Lan Li's performance?"
"The performance just now is really wonderful!"
The sound of chatter was in the ears, and Olivia said meaningfully, "It should be seeking common ground while reserving differences, the styles of Ogles and Lan Li are different, they need to run in, every crew has such a process." Rachel, what do you say?"
Olivia's voice was just one of many discussions, and Rachel turned her head to look over, but didn't say anything, "The director is the only criterion for whether the performance is good or not, unless the actor wants to be above the director, we all need to adjust." One sentence is meaningful.
Then, Olivia and Rachel's eyes were both projected in the direction of the hotel entrance, and at the same time, there were other staff members of the crew, and the gossip's inquiring eyes were all projected in tacit understanding, and no one broke the quiet atmosphere of the scene:
On the first day of filming, the director tore his face with the actor?
Wait, why does everyone assume that it is a tearing of the skin? There is no problem with Lan Li's performance, and Ogels's personality is mild, and the two of them don't seem to have any reason to argue! But! This is precisely the reason for the people who eat melons to be curious, what could be more exciting and exciting than such an assumption?
……
"Lan Li, what the hell are you doing?" There was a faint hint of suppressed anger on Ogles's kind face, he was already very restrained, but it was really not easy for an honest person to deal with it, and that kind of overflowing anger overflowed uncontrollably, and it was impossible to hide it.
But this is not the first time that Lan Li has faced the "anger" of Ogels, in fact, Lan Li believes that he must take a stand, otherwise the next cooperation will be very difficult, "complete my job." Lan Li replied calmly, but his concise words were a little stiff, which was enough to express his position.
Ogles shook his head slightly, "Your job is to complete the performance according to my instructions, not to modify the script according to your own ideas!" As he spoke, Ogels' anger jumped, "If you think that you can change my creation according to your own ideas and opinions in the crew, then you are wrong! I will never change the script for you!"
The nightmare of fear seems to have happened after all.
Lan Li knew about Ochels's concerns, but he didn't want to continue to explain at this time, but slammed back, "Then why don't you make an animated movie? I believe that they can be at your disposal like a Barbie doll, and even perfectly meet any of the director's requirements." ”
"Any", Lan Li's voice increased slightly, and the implication could not be more obvious.
"You!" Ogles is not an eloquent person, coupled with his introverted personality, the words just now have exhausted all his courage and will, and now he is directly speechless, and his whole cheeks are flushed.
But Lan Li is not ready to compromise, "There are countless possibilities for acting, and the performance and performance of actors can derive more sparks, which is also one of the joys of filmmaking, why don't you ask me why I perform like this?"
"Because I don't want the actor to go off the rails!"
"But now that the script hasn't been written, isn't it because our premise is off track?"
This back and forth, there is no room for maneuver, the atmosphere between the two people is obviously tense, the smell of gunpowder is quietly permeating, and then the staff at the hotel reception are suddenly in a commotion, even if they can't hear the conversation between the two people clearly, but the kind of head-on confrontation that does not give an inch is really clear, the smell of gunpowder is spreading, making people nervous and excited.
Even Olivia and Rachel both exchanged glances, a little surprised: Lan Li is a gentleman, Ogus is a gentleman, originally both of them are not very outward tempered types, no matter how you think about it, there will be no conflict, but now they are facing each other, it seems that the next second is about to roll up their sleeves and wave their fists at each other's faces, which is really unexpected. So, what's going on? They couldn't help but wonder.
Lan Li's tough impact directly uncovered Ogels' scars, showing his most depressed and tangled wounds, which immediately made Ogs speechless again, staring at Lan Li with round eyes, panting, not wanting to give in but not knowing what to do, and finally staring at Lan Li "fiercely", but the words he said seemed to have no momentum at all, "Anyway, no matter what, you have a reason." ”
It's not cruel at all, but there are some cartoon characters who seem to be playing with children's tempers, and the scene is a little joyful, but Lan Li doesn't mean to joke at all now. At least now is not the best time to make jokes.
In terms of facts, Lan Li knows that different directors have different styles-
Some directors just don't like actors to play on the spot, such as Alfred Hitchcock, even if it is a big-name actor, he must perform in his way, otherwise the big fat man will be able to scold the actor directly and cry, or even expel the crew; some directors just don't like actors to take the initiative, especially big-name actors, but are easy to interfere with the director's filming work with customers, such as Tom Cruise, his arbitrariness has given countless directors a headache, and only a few directors such as Steven Spielberg can make him obedient。
The cooperation between actors and directors will inevitably need to go through a run-in period, and there are still a few directors like the Coen brothers who like the way of performing from the beginning.
But the truth is reasonable, Lan Li understands that some things still have to be made clear, and now they must face a different situation.
Before joining the crew, when discussing the script, and after joining the crew - including during the script practice, Owgels always had his own inherent prejudices, and his attitude towards Lan Li was different. It's not that you can make things difficult for Lan Li, or deliberately exclude Lan Li, but you are more demanding in terms of details, and even assume that Lan Li's understanding is different from that of the director, and after presetting a position, and then communicating, things become tricky.
It can be clearly seen from Ogles's attitude towards Rachel, Olivia and other actors: they ask questions, which is studious and motivated, but Lan Li asks questions, which may be provocative;
Etcetera!
Originally, Lan Li thought that this was just some attempts by Ogels in the script practice stage, and he didn't want to be too sensitive, especially his current status, and a little complaint might be like the "Jurassic World" crew, which caused a lot of speculation among the staff behind the scenes. He didn't worry about those speculations, but he didn't want to affect the preparation of the work, so Lan Li put his mind on the right and cooperated with the work.
But now it seems that Lan Li's dedication and politeness have become a kind of indulgence.
