Jessica's expression was a little odd.

Lan Li's performance just now can't be said to be perfect, and the control of the details can still find room for improvement, but the whole performance is done in one go, the mood and the plot are perfectly integrated, and the characters and foreshadowing are also inadvertently resonated, this is definitely a rare performance, but Christopher asked to do it again?

No, to be precise, Christopher's requirements are normal, because directors always try to find a more perfect existence in the repeated shooting, for them, there is no best, only better, not to mention that Christopher is a director who values the picture more than the performance, and it is normal to sacrifice some details for the picture.

But Lan Li's reaction was not normal.

According to Jessica's understanding, Lan Li is not this kind of obedient baby, even if the director is correct, Lan Li will put forward his own opinions, and find the most suitable mode in the discussion;

"What's wrong?" whispered Anne's whispered inquiring words.

Jessica hid her doubts, shook her head, and raised her chin to gesture straight ahead, as filming began again and the set was quiet again.

......

Lan Li once again completed the filming of the next scene:

Donald called out to Cooper, who was about to leave, and brought up the parent-teacher conference, Cooper's footsteps stopped, and then slowly turned to face Donald sideways.

The slightly hesitant expression revealed a faint sense of loss, as if immersed in his own thoughts, and seemed to be deeply immersed in his own emotions, and the dazed loneliness disappeared into the large expanse of sunlight before it could be seen, and finally only a vague face outline remained.

"Cards!"

Christopher called a timeout, but there was a brief silence on set. No one spoke, all waiting for Christopher's orders.

Jessica savored it again. To be honest, Lan Li's expression is still wonderful, but the afterglow is long, the flash of eyes and the sunlight behind the door quietly merge, the picture outlines a thrilling feeling, if the photographer can adjust the angle, with a perfect composition, this is definitely worth making a poster picture, even the still picture can not hide the loneliness in the eyes.

But...... There is always a but, always feeling that something is missing, or that something is superfluous.

"There are too many emotions. After thinking about it, Jessica's mind came up with the answer.

After realizing this answer, Jessica was so excited that she almost wanted to scream for joy, but because the filming work on the set was still underway, Jessica couldn't help but endure it, and her hands couldn't help but clench into fists to suppress her excitement and excitement.

The second version is good, everything is fine, but the overall mood is a little too much, and it seems to be presented to the audience frankly: the relationship between Cooper and his children, the story between Cooper and his wife, there is still a lot to be explored, which leaves room for imagination. If it is according to Jessica's original idea, this way of performing is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, now Jessica has a little bit of a understanding of what Lan Li means: this kind of performance will indeed cause the audience to think, but will it distract the audience, and then affect the clean and concise main line of the whole movie? This is debatable, and may even affect the viewing effect.

Of course, the premise is that Christopher's creative ideas are consistent with Lan Li's understanding and expression. If Christopher's thoughts were on the same page as Jessica's, then Lan Li's performance would be inadequate, but the other way around......

Involuntarily, Jessica began to ponder, and it was really interesting to weigh the two ways of acting, and the different viewing experiences they brought - the level of detail control that the performance could achieve was amazing, and even had an impact on the whole picture and the story.

"Lan Li's performance control is really good. Anne's muttering exclamation came out of her ears, it was better to hear than to see, and only when you really felt it on the scene could you understand it, and words were really difficult to express accurately.

Jessica leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "'Burst Drummer' is even more amazing." ”

Anne's eyes widened, "Really?" and then covered her mouth, lowered her voice again, and whispered, "I've been very, very looking forward to that work before, and Lan Li never chooses works randomly. So you're saying, really?"

Jessica nodded excitedly, but didn't continue to say more, but gave a look: Let's talk about it during the break.

In this short period of time, Christopher thought about it seriously and finally made a decision, "Lan Li, very good, very good, but can you do it again?" ”

"No problem!" Lan Li agreed without any complaints or protests.

With such a good attitude of cooperation, so much so that the crew and staff looked at each other: Could it be that Lan Li heard about the recent negative news in the industry, and is now ready to start saving his image?

But this is still not the end, Christopher repeatedly switched angles, back and forth five times, before finally standing in place, raising his left hand, supporting his chin, full of doubt, said, "I think the first time is the best." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lan Li helplessly and strangely, as if he was exploring what was going on.

Jessica immediately straightened her hands and sat up straight, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's what I said! Look, I'll say it!" After shouting, Jessica realized her excitement, and then nodded to everyone in apology, leaned back in her chair, turned her head and whispered to Annie, "The first time is obviously the best choice, Lan Li's control and interpretation are too good." ”

Anne smiled playfully, "Oh, I personally prefer a second time." ”

Jessica couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then realized that Annie did not participate in the discussion between her and Lan Li just now, and her original thoughts were the same as Annie, but when did it change? Wasn't she still skeptical just now? Why did she suddenly change her mind?

In the middle of her thoughts, Jessica immediately had a flash of inspiration and understood: it turned out that this was Lan Li's abacus!

Christopher is not a director who has a deep understanding of acting, he can rely on his intuition to capture and adjust the performance, but he may not be able to give instructions clearly and accurately, if Lan Li just throws out all his ideas and directs from a professional and academic point of view, Christopher may not be able to understand immediately, and may even become more and more confused, but may fall into a vicious circle of chicken and duck talking.

As a result, Lanli adopted a simpler and more efficient approach: it was presented directly and then selected by Christopher. On the one hand, Lan Li can deduce what he wants, and on the other hand, Christopher can also choose what he wants, and this back and forth will increase the efficiency of communication and lay the foundation for subsequent shooting.

What's more, Lan Li presents the gap between several other performance methods, and then highlights the first performance method, quietly completing the guidance, implying that Christopher made a choice that is in line with Lan Li's ideas.

Cunning guys!

Jessica finally understands now, no wonder Lan Li is so well-behaved today, it turns out that the real calculation is hidden here, and unknowingly brings everyone into the ditch - even she really understands the theory that Lan Li said before for the first time, and then blurts out that "the first time is the best".

This guy ...... Jessica shook her head helplessly, and then saw Anne beside her, with a confused but interested expression on her face, as if she was waiting for an answer, and let out a long breath, Jessica began to explain.

At the same time, Lan Li is also explaining the ins and outs to Christopher, including his understanding of the core of the script, the main story line, the sublimation of ideas, and his conception of the character's interpretation.

Christopher listened intently, then frowned slightly, "Simply put, you want to put the show in and out, right?"

Is...... It's a simple and crude interpretation, but objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with such an understanding.

"Yes!" Lan Li gave a straightforward answer.

Christopher understood everything Lan Li said, but when he projected onto the specifics of the performance, his concept became blurred: what performance was likely to be too sensational, what performance was likely to mislead the audience, what performance might drag the tempo, all of which did not have an accurate idea.

However, the performance that Lan Li has just presented is the best example, and the difference is intuitively presented. This is a new experience for Christopher, there is a difference, the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance, and the context in his mind becomes clear.

"Personally, I think it's still the first version that is the best. If you think this is the most suitable acting style for the movie, then go for it this way. "Christopher made the decision without any psychological burden.

Lan Li didn't explain too much, just nodded in agreement. Working with Christopher, different from Alfonso Cuarón, Damien Chazelle and others, he is also adjusting to the run-in. Of course, on the whole, there are still significant differences between the performance and art of commercial films.

Now, Christopher can accept Lan Li's way of acting, not to mention the means, but the two have indeed found a tacit understanding, and Lan Li's knife test has achieved good results, which is a good thing, at least it shows that Christopher has no objection to such a way of cooperation.

Christopher doesn't want to dwell too much on the details of the performance, he just wants to get a result that is suitable for the movie, and Lan Li agrees, and in a way, they can be regarded as agreeing.
