"No breaks, go on, we go on. ”

Alfonso tried to suppress his emotions, but the raised voice still leaked the excitement and excitement in his heart, and there was a slight commotion in the studio, but Alfonso didn't care at all, turned around and prepared to return to the back of the monitor, and continue the shooting, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his footsteps stopped.

Turning, Alfonso looked at Rooney and then at Lan Li, considering his words.

When he chose Lan Li, Alfonso was full of confidence, but he still didn't expect that Lan Li would pay so much for this movie and give such a wonderful performance;

What's more, the chemistry between Lan Li and Rooney overflowed in the big screen, rubbing different sparks.

It's not from the plot, it's not from the lines, it's more about the natural chemistry between the two actors during the performance, and the air flow slowly flows in the air, making the whole shot more full and full, and even the plot more interesting.

This is really a bonus - Alfonso is a complete technical nerd, and he doesn't know anything about the friendship between Lan Li and Rooney, and he has not even heard of the affair between Lan Li and Jennifer Lawrence. But it is this objective perspective that gives more space to the film lens and gives birth to sparks.

Now, Alfonso couldn't help but start thinking differently, "Guys, what do you think about the development of a love line between Ryan and Alex......

The whole question was not yet complete, and Lan Li and Rooney said in unison, "No!"

Then Lan Li shook his head slightly, revealing a ridiculous smile, "Absolutely not, this is a terrible idea." ”

Immediately after that, Rooney nodded in agreement, but ignored Alfonso, and instead looked at Lan Li, and said with a surprised face, "We said before, it will definitely be like this." Ha ha. ”

Alfonso, who was standing between the two people, became more and more interested, "Please, guys, you should pay attention to the fact that the sparks between each other are so interesting, and this is the most special bond between the two characters. ”

"No, on the contrary, the bond between Ryan and Alex comes from the union of souls, they have their own loneliness, hold on to their own beliefs, and chase their own dreams. Lan Li explained.

Rooney then added, "Yes, there is indeed chemistry between the two of them, and later Ryan almost chose to give up when he was dying, but Alex's fantasy appeared. Not only because Alex was Ryan's only comrade in the final moments, but also because the two of them knew each other. However, this kind of emotion is higher than love and friendship, and is more of a soul exchange. ”

"That's true. Lan Li looked at Alfonso seriously, "If you give love between two characters, this is really a terrible decision, which will not only destroy the core of the film, but also reduce the texture of the whole work." Remember, we've been trying to strip Ryan of his social attributes, family and friendship don't exist, and love doesn't mean anything. We are talking about life, the universe, and time, not about love between two ordinary people. ”

Rooney nodded, and continued, "If there is love between Ryan and Alex, then the movie will be reduced to an ordinary commercial movie." I think you're not just hoping to make an 'Avatar,' obviously you want to be able to talk about something more, aren't you? It's a communication from the soul, it takes place in the weightless environment of space, and it's definitely more than that. ”

"What's more, the filming we've done so far is very full, and adding a plot hastily is a disaster for pacing and character building. Lan Li also raised another important question.

You say a word to me, Lan Li and Rooney's words are like a waterfall catharsis, Alfonso stood in place, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, he couldn't even interject, he could only look at the two people in a daze, one turned to the right, the other turned to the left, accepting the baptism of this brainstorming.

On the one hand, Alfonso still couldn't help but sigh, the tacit understanding between Lan Li and Rooney is really amazing, especially the seemingly non-existent connection between the eyes, which fully shows the pure soul communication between the two characters, if the camera can capture it, it is definitely a very interesting thing.

Alfonso, on the other hand, understood what the two men meant. The whims were a terrible idea, and they were even trying to strip the two characters of their gender attributes and treat them as living beings, and now they are back on the love line, which is not only a step backwards, but a serious step backwards.

After gradually understanding, Alfonso also knew that even if he was unwilling to give up, as Lan Li and Rooney said, the two characters maintained a sympathetic confidant relationship, communicating and confirming each other at the soul level, which is the best way to express it.

Taking it a step further, Alfonso also realized that he had made an impulsive mistake.

From the very beginning, weakening the deliberate plot, weakening the redundant performances, and weakening the cumbersome descriptions, just recording all the chemical reactions and performance content by the camera, leaving the space for thinking to the audience, this is the basis for the creation of the whole movie, from the script to the lines to the characters, all of which are the same, through the gradual foreshadowing of clues, all the work of reflection is handed over to the audience-

Audiences who like popcorn can enjoy a disaster blockbuster about surviving in space, and those who like to sublimate and refine the theme can interpret the plot, characters, and ideas according to their own senses; audiences who like philosophy, art, and speculation can also savor it after watching the movie.

In this way, the deep meaning derived from the chemistry between the two characters, all they need is to record it with the camera, and that is enough, and the rest is left to the audience to complete.

Alfonso's proposal just now is a complete example.

In the sharp words of Lan Li and Rooney, Alfonso not only did not get angry, but also showed a bright smile.

As a director, his creative intentions and thoughts, the actor has fully comprehended, and even extended more connotation tentacles in the performance, giving the film a richer heritage, which is worth chewing slowly over and over again, which is definitely a very happy thing, as if finding a like-minded confidant on the artistic level.

Looking back now, Alfonso finally understood how the unique texture in Lan Li and Rooney's performance came about. Obviously, the two actors have reached a consensus in the preparation stage.

Such a performance is not only genius, but also extremely diligent, which is fortunate for any director.

Alfonso smiled widely, nodded in affirmation, and then said sincerely, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for going off topic, just ignore the proposal just now." ”

Lan Li let out a long breath, "Phew, Alfonso, you were really scared to death just now, I thought your soul was out of your body." ”

Rooney also exaggeratedly wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead, and echoed, "It's simply overthrowing all the characters, and even the core of the theme of the movie has become vulgar." ”

"God, Alfonso, you know what? Hollywood movies are always like that, as long as a man and a woman stand together, they have to fall in love, they have to burst out a little spark, even in the moment of life and death, two people have to be affectionate, it's just a cliché. Lan Li complained unabashedly.

Then Rooney smiled meaningfully, "Are you complaining about your own work?"

"Edge of Tomorrow", in the original book, the male and female protagonists are more like comrades-in-arms, but the Hollywood adaptation still bursts out with love sparks. However, after enough foreshadowing and brewing, as well as Lan Li and Jennifer's interpretation and interpretation, in fact, love is convincing, compared to most popcorn's rigid routines, the level and quality are not above the same level.

But......

Lan Li nodded in affirmation without hesitation, and responded with a helpless smile, "Didn't you see the box office of the movie? ”

inadvertently complained again: Hollywood's blockbuster popcorn is traceable, so the major production companies follow the same routine, like an assembly line, to create one similar movie after another, until this routine is no longer profitable.

Lan Li's generosity and honesty made Rooney nod her head again and again, expressing her affirmation.

At this time, Alfonso finally found his voice, but he was not a master of talking and laughing, and he tried to make a joke, but he couldn't do it, and finally could only say decently, "So, for the sake of the box office, should I stick to that bad theme just now?"

If you change the tone and remove the adjective "terrible", it should work well, but the problem is that Alfonso's sincere expression and step-by-step voice really destroy all possibilities. So, the topic was so awkward in place.

Lan Li took his jaw sincerely, "Alfonso, you should insist on yourself. After speaking, his eyes were deliberately pressed heavily, as if all the trust was pressed on Alfonso's shoulders, simulating the tragedy of the king entrusting the orphans, and the atmosphere suddenly became funny again.

Alfonso rubbed his hands shyly, "So...... So be it, we will continue to complete the follow-up shooting as originally planned. ”

As for the chemistry between Lan Li and Rooney, this is an easter egg, and it is left to the audience to savor it slowly. Thinking of this, Alfonso's mood became more and more light, and he turned around and walked towards the monitor with satisfaction.
