There were no politeness and greetings, Lan Li sat on the red sofa, and the opening ceremony completed the effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and the symposium immediately entered the main topic.

"When I was in Venice before, I said that the success of Gravity came from Alfonso Cuarón. Personally, it was a very special acting experience, and one that I would never want to go through again, and you can imagine the pain of being put under a microscope to perform. ”

The relaxed and witty words made the scene resound with a low laugh.

But more importantly, Alfonso presents a cinematic experience that is different from the lens. His shots tell stories and meanings in their own right, interpretations that are detached from the actors' performances, as if Michelangelo were painting, where the compositions and colors have meaning in their own right, and the specific characters and scenes complement the ideas. ”

"In this case, the performance is different. ”

Lan Li didn't elaborate on his point of view further, someone on the scene raised his hand again, he didn't mind, just nodded in agreement, waited for the staff to hand over the microphone, and listened to the other party's question, "You just said that Alfonso is different from the directors you just mentioned, so what's the difference?"

"That's an interesting question. David Lowe, Kelly Reichard, Alex Rose Perry, their own directing styles aside, just talking about their partnership with actors, I think there are some similarities to Tony Kaye. ”

"What they capture is the emotions of the actors, although their works are also the directors occupy the absolute initiative, but their ideas and concepts still need to be expressed by the actors, which also makes the actors in the process of performance, must be deeply trapped in that emotion, and present every detail of the emotional transformation. This is different from Alfonso. ”

"As far as I know, Tony Kaye needs the actor to step up and accentuate the weight and temperature of the camera language according to their ideas, while Alfonso Cuarón needs the actor to step back and become part of the composition of the shot, and then he does the whole shot language. ”

This also means that actors' understanding and presentation of performance will inevitably need to change. ”

Lan Li likes this kind of conversation, and the conversation with Rooney Mara, with Jake Gyllenhaal, and with Jessica Chastain, in those collisions and run-ins, dig out more ideas, and then confirm each other and improve each other in the process of their own performances, each work is an opportunity to grow, which also makes each period of self inevitably different.

The current Lan Li, before "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballad", the content and angle of the conversation are bound to be different, and even before "Interstellar".

The participants at today's symposium are all professionals, even if they are not directors, screenwriters, actors or producers and other direct stakeholders in the film industry, at least they are all senior film lovers, and they have their own understanding and reading of movies.

With a bang, a large arm was raised inside the entire venue, like a vast forest.

Lan Li made a gesture to wipe his sweat and joked to himself, "Why do I have a bad feeling?" but the movements of his hands did not stop, and he named a questioner among the crowd.

"Lan Li, I want to say that it can be seen from your works that you have different understandings and different presentations of performance, and I am still deeply impressed by the 'detachment' performance. ”

"I've always believed that 'detachment' is your best performance, which is different from the impact of 'Love Crazy', but it can leave more afterglow and reflection. As you said, Tony Kaye is a director who pays more attention to emotional capture, leaving more room for the audience to respond, but instead of 'gravity', I personally feel that there is limited room for subsequent reflection. ”

"So, how do you feel about it?"

"I mean, what's your personal favorite performance? And what is your personal regret the most regrettable work, and if you could do it again, how would you perform it? And what are the reasons for your likes and regrets?"

There was no self-introduction, no social courtesy, and the other party went straight to the point as soon as he came up, once again demonstrating the professional attitude of today's symposium.

"Wow, that's a very specific and huge question. Lan Li adjusted his sitting posture a little and said in a relaxed tone, "Usually when I read those interviews, the actors always will, we love every role we play, and the best performance is always the next time." While this is a polite statement, it is also true. Because acting is never easy, actors are more inferior and more uneasy than they seem, we need more self-confidence and more expectations for the future. ”

"However, even the ten fingers have long and short fingers, so naturally we have preferences too. The words that all the characters love are all self-deceptive lies. Lan Li's honesty made the audience collectively laugh, and a positive response sounded on the Internet:

"Young master is doing well!"

"Young master is doing well!"

"Young master is doing well!"

There was a collective swipe on the YouTube live channel, and there was a cheer on Twitter.

Lan Li didn't notice the uproar he had set off, and then said, "Personally, the most regrettable work is 'Fighting Cancer'. ”

"This is a light comedy, in the story, it does show the pain and suffering of cancer, even terrible, but the script is based on the ups and downs of the mentality and the change of life, the whole work is relatively relaxed and witty, hoping to show Adam's positive optimism after struggling, showing a kind of attitude to life. ”

"Seth Rogen is a good comedian and he did his job well, but unfortunately my performance was so serious and committed that the tone was too deep, and many scenes ruined the overall lightness of the work, and the final result was disappointing. ”

"Of course, if you look at it separately, the style of my performance and the style of my work, this is fine, but when combined, it seems contradictory and a little incompatible. Either look at the accident of cancer with a relaxed attitude, or face the impact of life with a serious and solemn attitude. Obviously, my self-made assertion undermined the integrity of the work. ”

"I've always stressed that I want to try comedy. In a way, the 'anti-cancer me' was not able to relax and immerse oneself in it, and this is one of the reasons. ”

When he starred in "Me Against Cancer", Lan Li was still too immature and young, and there was no way to completely get rid of Chu Jiashu's past, and the sense of substitution of methodist acting skills made him fall into the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself. Looking back now, there was no problem with his performance, but it was not suitable for this work, but it was not as good as the original version of the previous Joseph Gordon Levitt.

As he just said, the cooperation between the actors and the director is also an important factor in the success of the work.

Ethan and Robert, who were sitting in the audience, exchanged glances, and their eyes flashed with a mixture of surprise and surprise.

Although Lan Li has always emphasized that he has not prepared for anything - the actual situation seems to be the same, but Lan Li has always been full of a calm and relaxed attitude, and can face all problems and all situations at his fingertips, on the one hand, because of the mind and ink, on the other hand, because of the calm atmosphere, the demeanor and demeanor displayed by the gestures and feet do reveal a common demeanor.

That's a rarity!

Previously, Robert was more or less worried. It's not that I don't believe in Lan Li - Lan Li's acting talent and talent are absolutely undoubted, but Lan Li is still too young after all, he knows how to perform, but he doesn't necessarily know how to teach and discuss, which is a very fatal shortcoming for the symposium.

But now it seems that they are unfounded.

Joel, who was sitting in the middle, noticed the sight on the left and right sides, and said in a low voice, "I said it. He has long said that there is no need to worry about Lan Li, Lan Li's pride and self-confidence are not in the air, his heritage, his strength, and his comprehension can withstand the test.

The curvature of Robert and Ethan's mouths both lifted up, and they withdrew their gaze to look at the stage again.

"And my personal favourite performance so far is undoubtedly 'Drunken Country Folk'. As soon as Lan Li's words fell, there was a commotion at the scene, and Lan Li himself chuckled, "Okay, I must admit that it was because the director was on the scene that I chose this work." ”

The cacole immediately turned into a hilarious laugh, and Joel clapped and laughed, while Ethan shook his head in tears.

"'The Drunken Folk' is a special work that presents a state of life for Levine Davis and for countless dream chasers. Not just in the sixties, but even now, there are countless Levian-Davies living all around us, and even here in front of us. ”

"When I played Levian-Davis, that kind of empathy and empathy was irreplaceable. I have to admit that during the performance, many times I thought it was me, and that depressed album was 'Don Quixote'. Joel and Ethan captured the real details of my life, blurring the lines between reality and fiction, which also made the performance more personal. ”

"To this day, I can still recall the light and noise of the kerosene lamp bar, which were there, never and will not disappear. For the liking of this work, this is private. The whole performance was unforgettable. I think I have to marvel at the kind of smell that Joel and Ethan captured, and that still lingers in Greenwich Village. ”
