As far as Christopher Nolan himself is concerned, he has no special liking or dislike for Lan Li, nor is he particularly sought after and rejected, he is completely an ordinary actor.

Just as Christopher rejects his phone and email, he knows nothing about social networks and the new generation of stars. The "ignorance" here means that he has never heard the name, has not seen the face, and may even be crowded by a large group of fans, and he does not understand why.

What Taylor Swift, what Kristen Stewart, what Chris Hemsworth, what Justin Bieber...... He didn't have any idea at all.

The same goes for Lan Li, who for Christopher is an actor who is "always mentioned in Hollywood", he doesn't know that Lan Li won EGOT, he doesn't know that Lan Li made history at the Oscars, and he has never even seen Lan Li's work. Not for Lan Li's individual situation, but for his living habits:

A guy who lived in the 19th century but tinkered with movies. This is how Emma Thomas describes her husband, and it is deeply accepted among Hollywood insiders.

Therefore, Christopher does not have an accurate and clear concept of whether Lan Li will appear in "Interstellar", and on the whole, he is not optimistic about Lan Li.

Cause?

There is only one: age.

It would seem like a good choice for Lan Lili to play the teenage version of Tom, but Cooper's age figure is a huge gulf that cannot be bridged, and although Hollywood has reached its peak of makeup, Lan Li's interpretation of a man in his early thirties is still no problem.

But in Christopher's view, there is a question: why is this happening?

Cooper's age is set in the range of 40 to 50 years old, which is precisely the range with the largest number of male actors in the entire Hollywood or the range with the most male actors in their prime, so why do they ignore the countless actors of the right age and choose a young man under the age of 24 to play?

Previously, when he contacted Andy, Christopher did show great interest.

Because of his directing style, he is accustomed to inviting actors with solid acting skills to play, especially actors, Christian Bale is the one he personally admires very much, and he is a character who hates huge changes, if Christian Bale wants, he can use Christian as the leading actor in every work, unfortunately, the latter's schedule is full and there is no time at all.

Christopher's vague impression of Lan Li is that praise and affirmation are endless.

Therefore, Christopher naturally raised his hands to welcome, but after learning that Lan Li was looking forward to playing the role of Cooper, and his wife Emma Thomas, who served as the producer of each of Christopher's works, also emphasized that with Lan Li's current status and value, it is very uneconomical to play a supporting role, unless it is a role like a clown, which also makes Christopher more and more excited.

Despite this, Christopher still opened up the possibility and agreed to meet today, with Lan Li's active promotion.

But, without holding out any hope, Christopher's mind was first curious: what would it be like if Blue Lane played Cooper?

Involuntarily, Christopher ignored the shackles of age, and built the texture of Lan Li in his mind in the picture, the maturity and wisdom gave the character a fuller color, which seemed to be seamlessly connected with the plot, which is really a unique feeling.

"If you were to play Cooper, would you have any special ideas?" Christopher was a little curious.

Lan Li's answer brought surprise again, "No, there are no ideas. ”

Christopher frowned slightly, but not irritation or anger, but curiosity, from the conversation just now, he could be 100% sure that this was not normal, "You don't look like a person who doesn't have any ideas." ”

Lan Li couldn't help but laugh happily, "In my opinion, Cooper is a special character, his story, his upbringing, and his character are almost completely stripped away in the movie, and all the weight falls on his bond with his two children, especially his relationship with Murphy, which has become his only image focus." ”

"This also means that the film needs to present an emotion, not an image. Then, for an actor, we should focus on showing his emotional details and layers, rather than exploring the ins and outs of the character. "Lan Li is as simple as possible to express it in a simple and simple way

In fact, to sum up: actors should choose expressive acting skills, rather than methodological acting. This was the case with Matthew McConaughey in the previous life, but his expressive acting skills needed to rely on small details to show, and he was accidentally swallowed up by the grandeur of the picture.

"What?" Christopher was completely dizzy, every word and every sound was not difficult, but when it was all connected, he couldn't understand a single word, "You mean, Cooper's character is too thin?"

This is also the ......

That's right. Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "You can think back to Cooper's role, why did NASA have to choose him to rejoin the operation, why did he choose to retire before, why did he have such a deep emotional bond with his children, why did he be able to serve as the leader of the squad, and what does his attitude and personality mean when faced with a crisis situation?"

"......" Christopher was about to open his mouth to retort, but Lan Li stopped him with a smile and continued.

"It's true that the script simply mentions what I just said. But in fact, it is just a short sentence and has no practical meaning. ”

How can this be explained? In short, the words that introduce Cooper cannot be connected in terms of subsequent language, behavior, and attitude. From the perspective of the creation of the play, these background materials are just backgrounds, which are separated from the characters themselves, which also makes the characters themselves like pieces of paper. ”

In other words, the script actually does not give the actor the space to stand and play, but only needs the actor to present a state. ”

After Lan Li finished all the words in one go, he took a small breath, and then said again, "But for commercial films, this is the right way to create." ”

"Because of the character image of commercial films, what the audience needs to see is a personality profile. For example, Hobbes's ability and wisdom in Fast and Furious, and Cage's transformation in the edge of the next day, this is enough, too many branches will only destroy the narrative rhythm and the main story line. ”

Similarly, in this film, the audience only needs to see the bond between Cooper and Murphy, and this is a success, because this bond and the entanglement of time are the core of the film, not Cooper's personal story. ”

Christopher pondered for a moment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, "You still haven't answered my original question: If you were to play Cooper, would you have any special ideas?"

"No, no. Lan Li still repeated his answer, "Or, for the director's answer, no." I just need the emotions and emotions that you expect, and I can show them, and that's all. ”

"So, what about the answer for actors?" Christopher is also a smart guy, and he's a great screenwriter just like Jonathan Nolan. In fact, Christopher is better at directing his own scripts because he is able to incorporate his ideas and visual sense into the storyline.

Lan Li laughed, "Does that matter?"

Christopher didn't speak, still looking at Lan Li intently, not giving an inch.

Lan Li spread out her hands, "For the actor's answer, I hope to be able to build their own memories and stories with the actors who play Murphy and Tom. ”

"For example, what happened to their mothers? For example, does Cooper's choice to retire have anything to do with the children? For example, their daily lives? For example, Cooper and Murphy's close bond, Cooper and Tom's differences?" Lan Li said with a simple example, without in-depth conversation, but enough for Christopher.

"I've always thought that even if it's a commercial movie, 007 or Ethan Hunt, they have their own images and characters, even though they can't be represented in the story, but they're all living characters. It is very important that the backstory of the actor is real during the performance. Lan Li fully stated his thoughts, "I know that these contents will not appear in the movie screen, and it doesn't matter if the screenwriter and director don't know, but ......"

"The quality of the performance is different. Christopher took over the conversation, and then saw a look of surprise and surprise in Lan Li's eyes, he smiled proudly, "When I was on the set before, I couldn't understand Heath's way of acting, he almost drove himself crazy, he really became a clown, I tried to stop Heath, but Christian explained it to me. That kind of performance texture is the soul of the actor's performance. ”

After saying that, Christopher's smile became a little lonely: Heath Ledger's death has always been a pity for Christopher.

But the look was fleeting, and Christopher continued, "I now finally understand the meaning of what I just said. ”

Regarding the meaning of emotion and time, and the discussion of philosophical speculation, in fact, these things are not visible in the script, and their existence will not affect the entire narrative rhythm, but are revealed in the director's pictures and actors' performances, and he does not need to worry about stuffing these contents into the film, which may destroy the rhythm of the film

Not only will it not be so, but it will enhance the depth and breadth of the movie.

Thinking of this, Christopher's eyes lit up slightly, "Lan Li, are you willing to play the role of Cooper?"
