The crane camera lens slowly rises, from the horizon all the way to the height of three stories, and condescendingly captures the entire frame, including Owen and Claire, as well as the distant view, presenting everything in front of the viewer in a panoramic way.

But...... Nothing!

Melanie and Chen Zihao couldn't see anything above the monitor screen, and above the plains and hills in front of them was an empty open space, except for grass and trees, there was nothing but grass and trees, not even birds or animals passing by, it was as quiet as a dead land.

What the hell is going on here? What the hell are Owen and Claire looking at?

The stark gap between sight and sensation brought Melanie back from the unreal to reality, only to realize that everything was just filming, and then through the lines of Owen and Blair, Melanie also understood what she saw in the panorama: the corpses of Brachiosaurus were everywhere.

Of course, it was impossible to create a large number of small mountains of Brachiosaurus corpses on set, and all these details required post-production computer special effects. So, there is such a contrast in the monitor screen, Owen and Claire see a clearing, but need to make a solemn and surprised expression.

At this time, thinking back to Lan Li and Bryce's performance just now, Melanie couldn't help but savor it - it can't be said that she was 100% invested in it, but she did feel the outpouring of true feelings through the monitor screen, and those delicate and intricate emotions can awaken and resonate in any scene at any time, and even make people ignore the absurdity of the surrounding scenes.

"You say, is this the truth of the stage play?" Melanie suddenly became curious and discussed with Chen Zihao, "Standing on a narrow stage, those simple layouts and scenes have no sense of reality at all, but the actors can still convey stories and emotions to the audience through their own performances, so that the audience can ignore the absurdity of the whole environment and enter the story?"

Thinking about it like this, Melanie felt more and more reasonable, and now when she reminisced about the performance just now, the emotions conveyed by Lan Li's eyes and expressions could make her empathize, and even immersed in that sad mourning mood, so that later she also paid attention to the picture above the panorama of the plain, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, wanting to find out what Owen and Claire saw.

That's amazing, isn't it?

Everyone knows that film is a dream-making industry, and through all kinds of technologies to turn human imagination into reality, the dinosaur in front of us is one of the best examples, but more often people put the credit on the director and special effects, and it is often easy to ignore the contribution of actors to "dream-making".

If it is a natural consensus that the actors' wonderful performances in art films or feature films awaken the emotional resonance of the audience, then the actors' vivid performances in commercial movies or popcorn blockbusters replace the audience to enter their own imaginary world to experience life, and convince the audience that everything they see now is real and credible, and then enter the virtual world of the movie, which is also an irreplaceable "dream-making" link.

Strictly speaking, Melanie is not a movie lover, let alone Lan Li's artwork, and she hasn't even seen much of the summer commercial popcorn blockbuster, for her, movies are a simple means of entertainment, some people like it, and some people are not so interested.

But at this time, Melanie faintly began to find it interesting, especially the charm of the film given by the performance, which made the filmmaking process full of sparks of chemical reactions, and the cooperation between links and links may evolve completely different chemical reactions due to the participation of different people-

Melanie knows that her perspective and way of thinking is indeed unique, but she enjoys it. That's enough.

Wait, why didn't Chen Zihao react?

"Chen?" Melanie bumped Chen Zihao with her elbow, but the force was not severe, which directly made Chen Zihao snort, Melanie couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, why didn't you react at all? I just talked to you, didn't you hear me?"

Chen Zihao really didn't hear it, "I'm just thinking, the scene just now looks a little familiar, but I can't remember what is going on for a while, a little distracted, what did you say?" rubbed his stomach and complained, "Do you want to be so ruthless?"

Melanie laughed again and patted Chen Zihao's back heavily, "Don't worry, I have a heavy hand, I know you can withstand it." ”

Chen Zihao's eyes were about to bulge: This still tells him to pay attention to the severity of his hands? He felt that he was almost about to vomit blood now!

"I just said that the actors' performances are indeed very magical, and they always convey stories and emotions, right?" Melanie summed up her thoughts briefly again, "It seems that just now, I can really feel Lan Li's sadness, it seems to be a kind of heaviness after countless lives and deaths, and his eyes are really very good." I can't tell you exactly what it was, but I think it's very good. ”

Eyes?

Chen Zihao's mind flashed with inspiration, "I remember!"

"What?" Melanie asked.

Chen Zihao explained, "Lan Li's famous work is 'Pacific War', HBO's TV series, in the series, I remember it seems to be the ninth episode, or the eighth episode? Lan Li has a similar scene, he is holding a woman who is about to die, the emotions in his eyes are so delicate and so complex, truly interpreting the mystery of life and death, which has sparked countless discussions on social networks. ”

"Really?" said Melanie.

Chen Zihao nodded, "But...... I always felt something different, and I can't tell. It's like, uh...... It's as if Lan Li's performance was more carved at that time, not that it was bad, but compared to now, it seems to be a little too strong. And today's performance didn't see any traces, and the whole feeling appeared. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zihao himself began to become depressed, because he was an amateur movie lover, and he really asked him to analyze the quality and details of the performance, and he couldn't say why, and even his own feelings were not expressed in detail, "Ahh ”

On the contrary, Melanie, who has always been a bystander, can see more clearly, "Are you sure that Lan Li adjusted the acting method because of commercial films? I am not an expert, but I also know that the performance method of art films must not be used in commercial films, otherwise it will be too weird." ”

"No, no, no. Chen Zihao shook his head again and again, "'Pacific War' is not an art film. But halfway through speaking, Chen Zihao couldn't help but stop, "...... It seems to make sense. ”

Melanie shrugged, "I see, anyway, Lan Li is very powerful, right?"

Chen Zihao thought about it seriously, "Well, yes. ”

At least from Chen Zihao's senses, Lan Li's performance is even more weightless, there are no traces in the whole performance, and there is not even any sign of force, but all emotions are transmitted in place between his eyes and expressions, not that the previous performance was not good, but Lan Li's performance has been upgraded again.

But specifically because Lan Li's strength has improved, or because the performance of commercial movies can't be too heavy, Chen Zihao can't say why.

At the same time, Colin is also communicating with Lan Li and Brythe.

"Brythe, show a little more restrained. Colin said into the walkie-talkie.

Bryce didn't quite understand, "What do you mean by being more restrained? "It's not about reasoning, it's about being objective.

Colin scratched his head, "I'm not sure either, but I always feel like you're letting your emotions out too much, which makes Claire's performance seem a little deliberate." I mean, Claire did feel the pain of Owen, and she did feel the grief of the dinosaur dinosaur dying, but it was a natural outpouring of it, and you just had so much emotion that the audience was prone to the illusion that 'you're trying to understand Owen,' you know?"

In fact, Colin's feelings are very subtle, is there something wrong with Bryce's performance? No! But Bryce's performance is placed in front of Lan Li, and the traces of carving are immediately obvious, which also makes Claire's emotions lack a sense of sincerity, and the subtle difference becomes extremely obvious in the opponent's play, and even a little abrupt.

But as a director, Colin has a very limited understanding of acting. He can capture the gap from the director's standpoint, but it is difficult to say why, at least there is no way to complete the analysis sharply and clearly, so he falls into a dilemma:

He knew that something was not quite right, but he had no way to point out the problem in detail, let alone give the right guidance, so he could only keep colliding in conversations and attempts, hoping to find the right way to perform in the end.

Bryce could vaguely understand what Colin meant, but she didn't have any idea exactly how to do it, and when she thought about it, she wasn't sure she understood Colin's intentions, "You mean, shouldn't you be so sad? Or, shouldn't you cry? That would be too hypocritical?"

"No, no, no, it's not. Colin repeatedly denied it, "Uh...... I don't have a specific explanation, otherwise in this case, you can perform it again according to your own understanding, collect your emotions, and let's see the effect, how about it?"

If the director doesn't know how to direct the performance, then just go with the feeling and leave all the work to the actors, which is the best solution.

Bryce chewed seriously, still didn't have a clear idea, she raised her head and glanced at Lan Li, hesitating whether she should ask Lan Li, but thinking back to the recent way of getting along, she finally chose to keep her mouth shut and decided to try it in her own way.
