2162 Tacit Trap
Before Lan Li, Ogles had an in-depth conversation with Rachel, which allowed Rachel to have his own interpretation of the character, but then, after several games between Lan Li and Ogels, Ogles changed the script, changed the main line and branch lines, and things were different.
In fact, Rachel's character positioning and meaning have not changed much, and thanks to the gradual clarity of the images of the two characters of David and the woman, this also gives the characters a clearer and more distinct outline framework, which is an important change for the script and performance.
So, what exactly does this mean for Rachel's performance?
One of the important reasons for the communication between Lan Li and Ogles is that Ogels's positioning of the role is relatively vague, which makes the actor's performance only able to capture one feeling, and then extend more possibilities according to his own understanding.
On the positive side, the actor has more initiative and agency, and is free to give the character more possibilities, but on the negative side, the actor needs to be blind and the director doesn't know what he wants, and the final character may not be able to impress the audience.
It can be determined that Rachel has determined his own performance plan according to the concept of Ogels's idea before, but now because of Lan Li's relationship, Rachel must make adjustments, and may even overturn all previous assumptions - now David and woman, the framework of the two roles has become clear; relatively speaking, the performance preparation tasks have naturally increased, Rachel not only needs to complete the role thinking within the framework, but also needs to complete the rehearsal of the opposite scene with Lan Li, which is definitely not as simple as imagined.
This is the reason why Rachel took the initiative to "challenge" Lan Li, and then Lan Li also responded in her own way.
"If you don't want to, you can say no, you can protest. It's not up to me to decide. I think you'll have to hurry now, and if you haven't figured out the situation, it's probably going to be too late. ”
Lan Li not only launched a counterattack, but also complained about Rachel's "slackness" - until now, the situation of the crew has not been clarified, and the unjust debtors and owners have not been clarified, so it is too stupid.
In the face of Lan Li's response, Rachel bowed her head slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, "Are you shirking responsibility now?"
A smile appeared on Lan Li's lips, and he turned his head to look at Olivia—such a scene, déjà vu, just at the door of the hotel, Olivia launched a similar attack, forcing Lan Li into a corner, and now Rachel was repeating a similar attack routine.
Olivia slowly raised her eyes, avoiding Lan Li's gaze, the smile on the corner of her mouth rose slightly, but then she lowered her gaze again, her eyes switching back and forth between Lan Li and Rachel, gloating and watching the excitement.
Lan Li just gave Olivia a look, not expecting any response, and then turned to look at Rachel, and replied without pause, "Can I understand that you are now refusing responsibility?"
Anti-general army.
Rachel complained that Lan Li had increased her work, and Lan Li fought back at Rachel for refusing the responsibility of the actor, "Shouldn't it be the actor's job to perform the role according to the director's needs" - such an attack is very serious.
"Ouch. John Reilly quietly cried out in pain beside him, not only successfully interrupting the argument, so that Lan Li and Rachel did not need to continue arguing, and could borrow the slope to get off the donkey, but also succeeded in changing the atmosphere, the scene instantly became joyful, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and then the atmosphere in the hotel lobby began to slowly heat up.
Is it a coincidence or wisdom that the timing is so clever and so sophisticated?
Lan Li immediately cast his gaze at John, and then noticed that Rachel and Olivia also cast a look, which made Lan Li's eyes appear a smile, and then you can see that Rachel's eyes also showed a smile.
A short confrontation, but able to rub sparks, this means that the next cooperation is definitely worth looking forward to, the two exchanged a look, both have some eager looks, surging in the depths of their eyes.
In addition, there is a meaningful Olivia who is watching and eating melons, without superfluous expressions, but there is deep meaning between the waves of her eyes.
"Wait, wait. Ben Whisshaw took a step forward abruptly, interrupted the chuckle with a puzzled look on his face, looked around and asked suspiciously, "Are we attacking each other now?" or are we now agreed to hate each other, and what's going on here?"
Whisshaw's serious expression is even a little silly, and the soft tone creates a contrast, and the mild and comfortable black humor makes people feel more comfortable - not only John, but the inconspicuous Whisshaw is also a master, but the straightforward Leia is slightly behind.
In this way, the casting of Ogles is very interesting, each actor corresponds to each role, and has Owels's own unique interpretation-
In the end, all eyes fell on Lan Li.
Obviously, Lan Li should be the only actor on the scene who does not conform to the "Ogles style", including Jessica Bardem, everyone noticed the subtle difference, and between the words and conversations, everyone gradually noticed such a difference, so the eyes of the scrutiny locked on the prey.
Interesting!
Very interesting!
Could it be...... When Lan Li and Olivia were fighting at the door of the hotel, these actors in the hotel lobby were teaming up to conceive a trap for Lan Li?
If so, then the shoot must be very interesting, and if not, it will be even more interesting – because it's a natural understanding, and there are already sparks between each other before filming has started and the script is not read, which is too rare for acting work.
Whether it is an intention or a coincidence, but now that Lan Li is already standing in the trap, how will Lan Li respond?
"I guess," Lan Li looked at Whisshaw, "and now people are trying to find the killer, like Agatha Christie's murder in the closed room." "Implying that he was the murderer," but I think the situation may be a little different now, because the killer doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. ”
“……”
The audience was silent, and then Olivia's voice rang out again, "What about Ogles? I'm curious, how did he find a hotel that created Agatha's sense of déjà vu?
He opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he managed to change the subject - pretending that nothing had happened just now, but there was a smile between the eye exchanges.
Lan Li had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, not trying to pierce Olivia's intentions, and then Jessica Bardem lowered her voice and looked around, "According to the suspense or thriller movie routine, the director should appear, as if the detective always shows up at the end of the matter." ”
It's a pity that the routine didn't appear, and Ochlets didn't show up directly - as for the staff staying in the hotel lobby, they were already scared stupid at this time:
They didn't understand what was going on, and then they saw the actors talking to each other like a bunch of crazy people, and they couldn't figure out how to smile. They could only feel the strange and wonderful atmosphere, but they didn't know the specific reason, and they couldn't help but get goosebumps on their spines.
After being reminded, the staff came to their senses, and they guided the actors to their rooms.
The Paknasilla Hotel has a total of five floors, the first and second floors will be used as filming locations, and the third floor will be all housing for the crew, including the props room, dressing room, meeting room, etc., and of course, the cast and crew rooms.
The production cost of "Lobster" was only 4 million euros, which doomed the crew to not be too large - in the end, the crew gathered a team of less than 100 people, of which 30 were actors, 12 core actors, and all the rest were behind-the-scenes staff.
Without a doubt, this is the smallest crew since "Detachment".
However, even such a small crew is incomparably "huge" compared to the Paknasira Hotel, there are only thirty-five rooms in the entire hotel, and there is no way to stuff the entire crew; fortunately, a small village can be found less than fifteen minutes by car next to the hotel, and some of the peripheral staff are arranged in the village, which solves the accommodation problem.
If it's a large crew, they can use a variety of solutions, even set up a temporary camp directly next to the hotel, and if it's a top actor, there are also many options, they can go to a five-star hotel or private apartment in a nearby city, and then go to the station every day to shoot, although it takes time to travel every day, but the focus is on protecting personal privacy and having a private space.
Originally, the crew thought that Lan Li would choose this way, after all, Lan Li's attention to privacy is not a secret in the industry, not to mention that he is still a noble young master, but he did not expect that Lan Li accepted the crew's arrangement and stayed at the Parknasila Hotel, and the only special need was only to arrange a room for Nathan and Roy, such an approachable posture made Ogs slightly surprised.
In the same way, the best way to debunk rumors is not to justify them, but to speak with facts – because those who hate, no matter what, will not believe it, and those who are sensible, they will respect the facts.
In this way, the "Lobster" crew officially settled down.
