1896 Friendship and cooperation
The fluctuation of state is becoming more and more obvious, and there are even some signs of getting out of control, which is not good news for any actor, especially when the co-actor is Lan Li, the sense of urgency and oppression is really everywhere, and the emotions are becoming more and more irritable and surging, and they are uncontrollable at all.
Bryce is like that now.
She was very irritable now, her whole body seemed to have reached a boiling point, she was bubbling and rolling, even her skin was getting hot, she swallowed hard, trying to calm her mind, trying to get back to the way she was before the Broadway show, but the empty environment around her really couldn't help.
Taking a deep breath and taking another deep breath, Bryce quickly raised her voice in the direction where Lan Li was and said "I'm sorry", no matter what the relationship between them was, because of her repeated mistakes that delayed the filming schedule, and Lan Li didn't complain and completed every performance conscientiously, which meant that Bryce needed to express her apologies.
"It doesn't matter. Lan Li still maintained her usual politeness.
But at this time, Bryce was extremely irritable, and even Lan Li's politeness became extremely dazzling, and she couldn't help but provoke on a rampage, "Shouldn't you be angry?"
"Should I?" Lan Li asked rhetorically, still in an understated gesture.
Every actor has moments when they are not in good shape, just like all artistic creations are blocked by inspiration, acting is never so simple, even if it is a commercial film, and actors still need to understand each other more. When filming "Detachment", Lan Li filmed the bus scene more than 70 times, which can be called a disaster, he can fully understand the frustration and depression, and even more can understand the kind of focus and dedication.
Bryce was directly choked by Lan Li's words.
She didn't like Lan Li's attitude, that kind of calm and calm attitude always seemed to be provoking, especially in the current situation, which also made her irritability look more and more like a clown, and even she couldn't help but start to dislike herself, so that her emotions became more and more turbulent, like a wild horse, "At least you shouldn't sit idly by, as if everything has nothing to do with you, we're playing rivalry, aren't we? God, sometimes you really are like a statue, cold and unaware of any emotion. ”
As soon as the words came out, Bryce regretted it, she must have lost her mind and gone crazy, it must be!
In the face of Brythe's rampage, the smile on Lan Li's face never disappeared, "The truth is, I really don't want you to feel any emotions from me, because I don't want any scandal between us, I don't have any interest in destroying other people's families, especially people who are not interested in me, and I have no masochistic tendencies." ”
It's not a blunt and strong counterattack, but a brisk ridicule, and even reveals a touch of playfulness, as if she is enjoying Brythe's anxiety and torment at the moment, "But I have to remind you, I'm leaving tomorrow, and if I miss today, this scene will have to wait for me to return before filming, I think, now the whole crew is complaining about you behind your back, so ...... One more me, one less me, in fact, has no effect. ”
Even in this situation, Lan Li was still in the mood to joke, which made Bryce also powerless, and the rampage of irritability and anger was stuck in her chest, unable to vent, she looked at the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, the only thought in her mind was to tear it apart, but she knew that she couldn't do anything, and finally could only roar roughly, "Ah!" The gurgling sound rolled in her throat like hot magma, but ...... I can't break out, it's really too embarrassing!"Ahhh
At this time, Lan Li politely asked, "Do you need a little help?"
"No", the words of refusal reflexively popped up, but they stayed on the tip of the tongue and swirled, hesitated and hesitated, and still didn't say it after all.
Bryce didn't want to admit that Lan Li's words were not offensive in any way, but there was no way to deny that Lan Li's words were polite enough and sincere enough, she had no need to pick on her at all, this contradictory emotion made her almost bite her tongue, and finally struggled for a moment, but still let out a long breath, and the words of rejection disappeared between her lips and teeth along the turbidity.
"So, what the hell is going on?" Blythe tried to organize her language, but at last she uttered something as simple and vague as she was: she wondered what had gone wrong with today's performance, and she was now like a beast trapped in a cage, unable to find the lock except to slam into it.
Lan Li didn't answer immediately, as if he was already confident, but thought carefully for a moment, pondering his words, and then answered, "When we were watching the replay just now, did you notice that your emotions were too much. ”
"Outside?" Bryce was still a little irritable, but Lan Li's words caught her attention, and she thought about it seriously, "Do you mean the tearful passage? Claire was originally a strong woman who didn't have any empathy for dinosaurs, and suddenly saw a dinosaur die in front of her, and then she cried, is this too abrupt?"
That can be said, but not exactly. Lan Li thought for a moment and expressed his opinion, "In my opinion, Claire's tears are not only because of the Brachiosaurus, but also because she felt the bond between Owen and the Brachiosaurus, which in turn awakened her resonance for herself, Owen, and the lost relationship, and the emotions fluctuated. Of course, for a strong woman like Claire, crying is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it is not unacceptable, the focus is still on the way it is presented. ”
"What do you say?" Lan Li's words made Bryce's thoughts gradually begin to clear, and she carefully recalled the details of the performance process along Lan Li's words: Owen presented by Lan Li quietly pulled Bryce's emotions in the rivalry performance, and the Claire she presented also changed - in the original conception, Bryce didn't think about crying, but after entering the role, she naturally showed a state, but now looking at the two, her understanding of Claire's role seems to be a little biased.
Lan Li continued, "Have you ever thought about the breakup between Claire and Owen, Owen was the main reason, but Claire chose to turn around and break up, this move also implies that her personality is definitely not a weak type, she also has her own opinions, she also has her own dignity, and even gradually grew into a strong woman after the breakup, what does this mean?"
Bryce didn't speak.
Lan Li waited for a moment, still didn't get a response, and could only continue, "Neither Claire nor Owen are the type to easily show vulnerabilities and wounds to others. Faced with the dying of Brachiosaurus, Owen remembers the pain of his past, but he still holds back all his emotions, even if Claire in front of him knows all his past, he still doesn't want to show it. ”
"And so is Claire!" Bryce's inspiration finally lit up again, and she said with some excitement, and then all her thoughts became smooth, "Claire did feel Owen's pain, she could sense the connection between Owen and Brachiosaurus, and then think of her own connection with Owen, so her mood swings were understandable, even if it was an unusual act like crying, it was still reasonable, but the focus was on the way of expression - Claire didn't want Owen to perceive her vulnerability. So, what the hell should she do?"
All the details of Lan Li's performance came to life in my mind: how Lan Li used detailed expressions and movements to guide the emotional direction of the whole scene, all the ups and downs were re-staged in my mind very clearly and vividly, and then all of Bryce's thoughts became active again.
"Hang your eyes!" Bryce suddenly figured it out, "Before the emotion was about to be revealed and even burst, Claire lowered her eyes and lowered her head to hide her emotions, because Owen knew her too well, and her eyes and movements could easily reveal herself, so she needed to avoid but not be too obvious. ”
To put it simply, emotions are all real, but they need to be hidden. In this way, Blythe and Lan Li's performances can fit on the same track: delicate and detailed, deep and complex, but not too straightforward and too rough, but adjusted according to the characters' personalities and the relationships between the characters, further arousing the audience's curiosity about the relationship between Owen and Claire.
Acting is such a process: a change in action that may seem like nothing can connect all the interactions of the whole scene, and even bring the characters and the plot to life, but everything has a premise: a clear and accurate understanding of the characters, the plot and the theme, only in this way can the performance be adjusted between gestures and actions, and then inject more life into the story.
This is a height that is difficult to achieve in methodist acting, but it is what expressist acting is good at.
Blythe was born in a stage play, and naturally a member of the traditional academic expressionist school, so she immediately understood Lan Li's carving and control of the whole scene.
After suddenly realizing it, when you look back again, you will realize that your predicament and confusion are really too stupid, and even make your cheeks burn slightly, but this is the performance work, constantly looking for breakthroughs and progress in collision and cooperation, if you can't find it, then you will never do anything.
Talent, that's pretty much it.
Bryce raised her head again and looked at Lan Li, there was still some embarrassment in her eyes, but she didn't run away, but met Lan Li's gaze generously, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
No matter what happened in the scandal, Bryce would not deny that Lan Li's professional level was indeed awe-inspiring, and it would undoubtedly be foolish for her to refuse Lan Li's help because of her dignity;
Lan Li was not polite, and nodded with a smile to show acceptance.
