Lan Li gushed about his understanding of the role, presented his preparations, looked at Tony intently, and communicated sincerely and devotedly.

Tony looked up, and saw a focused look in those dark brown eyes, which faded away from the waves just now, and burst out with unimaginable charm. This made Tony can't help but compare the Lan Li in front of him with Henry just now, the kind of gentleness without any movement, like a pool of stagnant water, without any light, the image of Henry in his mind gradually became full.

"That's what you want to do, what you want to do, it looks like stagnant water?" Tony said, finally understanding what Lan Li meant.

"To be precise, I want to present a sense of calm. It's not the gloom and despair of backwater, it's just the indifference of refusing to open up. On the outside, it looks very normal, but on the inside, there is a dead silence. Lan Li thought about it carefully, corrected Tony's statement, and then explained further.

"Henry is at the heart of the whole film. In my opinion, his emotions are not a straight line, but a constantly fluctuating curve. He thought he was in a straight line, but when he encountered different people and different things, more and more flaws in his body were exposed, little by little. In the end, it is presented naked/naked in front of the audience, step by step towards the ending of the movie. It's a process. ”

In the previous life, Adrian Brody starred in "Detachment", the development of the whole emotion is a straight line, and his outbursts and ups and downs do not have an accurate direction, but the despair and sadness rooted in his heart are more vividly displayed, nothing more. But after getting rid of those outbursts, his grief still overflows and becomes a daily routine, which makes the image of Henry always stay in the sad and gloomy stage throughout the film.

It can be said that his image is shackled, and the melancholy and thinness of his appearance always lingers, and it can also be said that his performance routine, from "pianist" to "detachment", the actor's temperament has always been implemented in it, which also restricts his performance field. Even in comedy movies like "Crossing Darjeeling", the acting routine has not been broken.

Of course, there are benefits to this. Adrian gives the film a state of relative stability: a state of despair and melancholy. This emotion is boundless, fully allowing the audience to feel the creator's intentions and those who empathize with it deeply to understand.

But Lan Li didn't want that. He hopes that through his understanding of the character, in the process of advancing the performance, he can show the different depths, thicknesses and breadth of the characters, not only to make Henry full, not only to make the promotion of the ending smoother, but also to enrich the emotions of the whole film and the core of the whole movie to become profound.

Because Lan Li knows that Tony's original intention to shoot this movie is far more than just about Henry's character, his goal is education, society, and the whole blueprint. Lan Li agrees with this ambition, he wants to be a part of it, and more importantly, he hopes that his performance can make further breakthroughs.

This time for the graduation exam of expressive acting, Lan Li hopes to give it a go.

Tony's emotions grew up, and he could understand what Lan Li meant, which made him chew on it, but it was all too abstract for words to explain clearly and directly. He is not an actor after all, he has no acting talent, he only has a vague understanding of the details of acting skills and the aura of the performance, and he can't sketch the corresponding specific image in his mind, let alone get a glimpse of the context and end point of the entire performance.

It feels a bit like a math problem. The numbers and words in front of him were incredibly clear and accurate, he knew that there was a formula that could connect all the numbers, and he knew that there was a law that could point to the correct answer, but the problem was that he didn't know the formula and the law, so the numbers became a meaningless bunch of gibberish.

Tony rubbed his hair viciously, his hair was already a mess, but his brain was still a mess of water, unable to sort out a clear idea.

Suddenly, Tony pulled his hair violently, and the excessive action pulled the knotted hair out, making people clearly feel the pain of the scalp, even Lan Li stood by and watched and couldn't help but feel pain, Tony himself grinned even more, but he didn't care at all, and said eagerly, "Replay, let's go watch the replay!"

He actually forgot this most important thing, he is the director, naturally he can't communicate with Lan Li in the position of an actor, he needs to stand in the position of the director to re-examine the scene just now, and then digest Lan Li's thoughts. That's the right way to do it. "Watch the replay first, then talk about it. After saying that, Tony didn't wait for Lan Li, and trotted all the way to the location of the monitor.

Lan Li and Tony stood on the playground of the school, there was no one in front of them, left and right, and the nearest staff member was also about fifteen meters apart, so they couldn't hear the conversation between the two people clearly, so they could only judge from their expressions and try to speculate. As a result, Tony ran back without warning, and the crew members who were originally standing on the spot and watching suddenly exploded.

Hulala, the crew didn't know why, and dodged in a panic, and there was a sudden chaos on the set, so that all the onlookers were full of question marks, and they didn't know why. Just now, Tony and Lan Li were still tense and deadlocked, and in the blink of an eye, Tony fled all the way?

Tony didn't know everyone's belly slander yet, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, ran all the way to the monitor, bit the dead skin on his lip, gestured with his chin, and said eagerly, "Replay, replay." His request was not responded to immediately, obviously everyone next to him was confused, but Tony did not have the space to explain, and raised his voice again, "Playback!"

This time, Tony's request was finally carried out, and the replay began.

While Tony was watching the replay, Roy stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Lan Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "What about the script?"

Roy was stunned and didn't react, but Nathan, who followed, handed over the script as soon as possible. Then Roy saw Lan Li standing in place, and directly began to read the script, which made Roy have question marks all over his head: Still reading the script? This script has been rotten by Lan Li-

Literally, it's really rotten, the front and back covers are replaced by Nathan, but the pages inside are turned up with raw edges, and some places are torn, and a lot of notes are left in the blank space. Roy thought that Lan Li had memorized the entire script over and over again, and there was not a single line in the first and second scenes, so why did he continue to read the script?

Lan Li knows everything about the scenes filmed today, including all the plot directions and line foreshadowing. Not all scripts are worth reading repeatedly, for example, the script of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", compared to the script, the communication with the martial arts instructor and stunt instructor is more important, but the script of "detachment", every line and every scene has a stage play-style imagery, but it is definitely worth studying carefully.

However, Lan Li is just a habitual action now. When I was on the set, reading the script was actually a kind of thinking, not really reciting the lines. Tony's opinion just now, Lan Li was also thinking about it repeatedly.

Whether it is the "detachment" of the previous life The finished product, or the simple communication just now, can be seen that Tony is a director who relies on the camera incomparably, but this kind of lens is not Paul Thomas Anderson or Darren Aronofsky, through the change of light and shadow and the setting of angles to capture the details of the performance, Tony's lens has a primitive roughness, wide opening and closing, close to the documentary, can also be said to be close to the audience perspective of a stage play, recording the original ecology of the performance, and then presenting the emotions naked in front of the audience.

This also means that in the process of working with Tony, the performance needs to be released a little more. This kind of outburst does not refer to an emotional outburst, but an emotional pause, and at each point of the performance, he needs to leave a momentary pause of one or two milliseconds.

Such a pause is placed on the entire timeline, in fact, it is not reflected, and it disappears before even blinking. However, in the process of performance, the pointing of the gaze, the pause of the eyes, and the fine-tuning of the expression magnify the time of this millisecond, giving more space for filling the emotions and making the performance full.

Intuitively, Meryl Streep's performance in "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" is like this. This is a moisturizing and silent film, and the gentle emotions echo in the depths of the soul like silent thunder.

Meryl gave a seemingly ordinary but vivid performance, her small expression acting skills are undoubtedly a highlight, a look of the stay, the moment of distraction, a shift of the eyes, the moment of panic to melancholy, such a life-like but dramatic performance details, the achievement of a unique screen image.

However, Meryl is a representative of methodist acting, and her performance is full of spirituality and casualness, giving full play to her acting talent.

For the performance acting of the academy, this is the study and control of the depth of emotions. Lan Li needs to watch the replay and have a better understanding of Tony's footage before he can deduce the scale of his performance. Then, Lan Li strode away and walked towards the monitor.

Roy looked at Lan Li in a daze, feeling that the rhythm of his thoughts was a little out of track. First Tony, then Lan Li, these two people's style of acting is completely confusing, which is jaw-dropping. One second, the two of them were arguing with red faces, and the next second, the two of them stood side by side to watch the replay, and exchanged opinions in a low voice from time to time.

What's going on, what's going on? One madman, the other madman, so, this is the story of two madmen meeting?
