446 comedy acts

The atmosphere of the entire crew is a little dignified, even if it is really today, even if Lan Li and Seth really stand in the bathroom and begin to listen to the explanation of the drama, even if the camera crew and lighting team have been busy for nearly two hours, doing various tests...... However, everyone still can't believe it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

All of this actually happened.

The Oscar nominee, who was absent from the awards ceremony, stayed in Seattle to shoot a scene with a shaved head, went too deep into the scene, and was in a rock bottom both physically and mentally, gaining the upper hand in the-for-tat with the media, and even triggering a dramatic plot development, and Ranley Hall, who was only 21 years old, and a comedy.

These factors are put together, and any two pieces put together are already magical enough, but now, all the factors are piled up together, and they detonate at the same time, even the unbelievable is not enough to describe the inner shock, which makes people can't help but think of "Pan's labyrinth".

Especially after the bombardment of the stormy waves, imagine that today is the day of the Oscars, and the eyes of the world are focused on the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, while they are in a cramped bathroom, ready to witness Lan Li shave his hair.

It's really calming.

The crew couldn't help but exchange glances with each other, and there seemed to be a look of doubt in their eyes, "Is this true?" However, seeing Lan Li, who was concentrating on communicating with the drama, everyone knew that all this was so real, and it was really heartbreaking.

"Lan Li, are you sure you don't need to think about it again?" Jonathan Levine inexplicably softened his heart a little, and he finally asked.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Lan Li's slightly curly short blond-brown hair, elegant and uninhibited, thick and lush, inadvertently outlining the lines of his face. But then, the hair will be shaved and completely gone.

Lan Li raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Jonathan, "Then what if I regret it?"

Jonathan couldn't help choking, and Seth, who was standing next to him, also had a frightened expression on his face, which made the corners of Lan Li's mouth pull and show a playful smile, "You should finish the filming of this scene before I regret it." Lan Li knew that he would not regret it, he was not nervous at all now, "Are the camera positions set up?"

"Yes, I just experimented. Jonathan nodded, letting out a long, nervous look.

Because this scene was only shot once, there was no room for error, and there was no possibility of restarting, so over the past two hours, they conducted several tests to ensure that they could achieve the director's shooting effect without revealing the camera's position in the lens, and at the same time meet the needs of different angles. To put it simply, they have zero margin for error.

Once wrong. Then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Jonathan turned to Seth and cast an inquiring look. Seth shrugged his shoulders, "Trust me, I don't need to be mentally prepared. Although it was a moment he and Will had experienced, now that he saw Lan Lilai repeat it, and under the influence of reality, Seth felt that his shock would not be reduced at all. He only needs to perform in his true colors and follow the rhythm of Lan Li's performance.

As for the Blue Rite.

Both Jonathan and Seth looked over, and then neither of them spoke. Because they know that Lan Li is trustworthy, they don't need to worry about it at all.

"Lan Li, when you're ready, give me a signal. With that, Jonathan turned around and returned to the back of the monitor, and the official filming of the scene entered the countdown.

Lan Li stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself quietly, frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "I look like a mess now, don't I? You say, people who have just taken over three chemotherapy treatments are in such a bad state? Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Or does it prove that my body is too weak? I need to start going to the gym?"

Seth stood next to him, dumbfounded, not only because Lan Li was having a serious conversation with him, as Adam, but also because the content of Lan Li's speech involved performance, not worried about his physical health, but worried about whether the state was in line with the reality of the performance.

Seth's eyes widened, "Nobody//cares, this movie is just a mess of/, and even though it's worth eight million, it's still not that important." Lanli-hell-Hall, don't make me feel weirder. ”

"Eight million worth of dogs/. Lan Li didn't say much, just pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded meaningfully, but the mocking meaning was self-evident, making Seth roll his eyes.

Lan Li looked back at the mirror, the most important thing in this scene was the sense of humor. Although the jokes of "I am fighting cancer" are basically on Seth, and most of them are brewed by lines, the rhythm of the performance is very special, which is obviously different from the drama movie.

For a dramatist who came from the formal education of the academy, the performance of comedy is not so special.

In the theatre industry, Shakespeare's four great comedies are undoubtedly the most well-known, including "All Are Happy", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Merchant of Venice" and "Twelve Nights", but they are classified as comedies not because of how humorous or funny, but because the themes and lines contain pure joy, and that joyful joy makes people rejoice.

Therefore, in the process of theatrical performance on the stage, the performance framework of comedy and tragedy is actually the same, the difference is that comedy requires actors to complete the rendering of the cheerful atmosphere through details such as body language and voice intonation. But as far as the performance itself is concerned, the actor doesn't need to make too many adjustments.

Relatively speaking, Italian comedy is the most special. Generally speaking, Italian comedy is considered to be the deepest, the most culturally strong, and the most high-quality. In Italian comedy works, the script and characters are often given some exaggerated and funny, absurd and funny temperament, which gives the actors more room to play and form their own unique performance style, which is very different from tragedy.

However, this kind of performance is very special, only suitable for the stage, on the film or TV screen, it will seem too deliberate and impetuous.

The way comedy is performed on the theatrical stage is out of place for the movie. Strictly speaking, comedy is not about control, nor about release, but about interpretation, interpreting the temperament of humor, it's just that everyone interprets humor differently.

Now, the reference object in Lan Li's mind is the black humor of "Saturday Night Live".

Putting aside those imitation, funny, and makeup jokes, what "Saturday Night Live" is best at is actually a serious dry humor, and the irony, ridicule, and ridicule revealed between the lines create a huge gap in laughter. It's actually somewhat similar to the style of British comedy films, except that Britain is sharper, more cold, and more black.

This kind of performance has strict requirements for small details such as expressions, intonation, and eyes, which seems to be serious, but the details are absurd and uninhibited, and the involuntary sense of disparity can often bring unexpected laughs.

It's not Charlie Chaplin's use of rich body language to make jokes, nor is it Jim Carrey's use of exaggerated facial expressions to make jokes, it's more of an introverted way of expression, which not only requires the audience to be able to calm down and savor it, but also requires the performer to have enough talent.

Especially the latter. People who lack such talent often seem jerky and awkward when they interpret this kind of humor, which is incompatible with the style of the script and the characteristics of the film, like a dog skin plaster, pasted on the whole work, which is particularly dazzling, but it cannot be torn off, resulting in it not being able to meet the specifications of comedy.

Wes Anderson's 2007 work "Crossing Darjeeling" and the 2009 British film "The Informed Man" both inspired Lan Li's performance, including the rhythm, tone, pitch and other details of the lines.

He needs to settle down well.

Next, the lines, flow, camera position, dialogue, style, etc. of the whole scene went through in his mind, which allowed him to have an overall structure for his performance rhythm and style, and also clarified the development direction of the whole scene to ensure that it could be passed at one time.

But in the eyes of the rest of the crew, it means something else: he must be mentally preparing for a shaved head, this is a shaved head! Not to mention actors, even ordinary people need great courage! How can it be so simple!

Seth stood next to him, looking at Lan Li motionless, without making a sound at all, his mood became more and more nervous, and his head was full of crankiness, thinking of the grand occasion of the Kodak Theater at this time, the encirclement and interception of reporters, the appearance of Lan Li's bald head, and the award trend of the award ceremony......

Turning his head, Seth exchanged glances with Will and said with his lips, "Are we crazy?"

Why did they come up with this idea in the first place? It was a good idea, but now it feels terrible. But what about Lan Li, who promised this terrible attention?

Before Will could respond, Lan Li's voice came. "Alright. I'm done. ”

In the whole scene, Lan Li should be the most unburdened person, but his mood completely calmed down, and he announced it neatly.

For this scene, they have been preparing for several days, just hoping to complete it smoothly without any mistakes, every line, every detail in their minds, like a mirror. Now, what he needs to do is to take part in it and get rid of all distractions.

Hearing Lan Li's words, Jonathan felt that his palm was slightly slippery, and his breathing couldn't help but stop for a moment, he was even more nervous than the person concerned, but he still took two deep breaths, nodded to the field reporter standing next to him, and then let out a long breath, waiting for the scene record to finish, and then raised his voice and said, "Start shooting!"

Stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, grit your teeth, and start neatly, this is the correct solution.

However, in case the performance is interrupted. This......
