Someone once asked, how is the atmosphere of the crew decided?

Other crews may not be sure, but the crew that Lan Li is waiting for is certain: full of enthusiasm for acting, but also full of artistic madness, everything is about performance, not only the protagonists and supporting actors, but also extras, stuntmen, actors, etc.

Of course, it is not possible for everyone's ideas to be adopted. In the final analysis, all ideas and all ideas still need to be condensed under the director's style, appropriately increased and appropriately reduced, and the most suitable performance and presentation methods should be found in the appropriate selection and measurement. But what is certain is that the inspiration for performance is always the best soil, and the joy of artistic creation is found in the brainstorming again and again.

This is the attribute characteristic of the Lanli crew.

Is this a good thing? I can't be sure, maybe it's a good thing for the actors, but it's not necessarily a positive factor for the director or for other departments, and the actors are only part of the process of making a film from production to finished product, but the atmosphere of the crew has always been cheerful and engaged, which is a good thing.

This is true of the four stuntmen who play the velociraptor and Omar who plays Barry, whose roles have all undergone subtle changes in the discussion, not necessarily because the scenes are aggravated, but it definitely gives the performance more room to explore, which is indeed a rare opportunity for the actors.

Performance, it should be immersive, enjoyable, and thought-provoking, and definitely not just an ordinary job, like all artistic creations.

"Lanli, I'm Vincent. While Lan Li and Omar were talking, a middle-aged actor standing next to him had been waiting for a long time, and grabbed the gap where Lan Li was about to turn around and said quickly.

"Shhhh

Vincent D'Onofrio (Vincent-D'Onofrio), this is a veteran actor who has been in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, his reputation is not great, but he is a typical blue-collar actor, "Full Metal Shell" is his famous work as a supporting role, "Assassination of Kennedy", "Behind the Scenes", "Ed Wood", "Men in Black" and other works can be seen in his figure, and this year, he also joined the word-of-mouth TV series "Daredevil Man".

Such actors may not be familiar to the general public, but they are crucial to industry insiders. Especially for fellow actors, Lan Li is particularly respectful, because in them, you can always learn many acting skills or comprehensions, which are rare communication opportunities.

At this time, without too many words, with a look, Lan Li and Vincent completed the exchange, and then both shifted their eyes and plunged into the exchange scene in front of them.

Obviously, the four stuntmen led by Samuel did not expect that their small selfish behavior of just wanting to add drama to the "velociraptor dragon" is now evolving into a storm, and simple communication gradually evolves into a concrete performance, and then forms a relatively simple but complete personality, giving each velociraptor a specific image, and they must show the characteristics of the velociraptor and the special effects team will also cooperate with the relevant production in post-production.

Samuel swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously, and secretly asked Lan Li, "Is this ...... Is there really no problem? I always feel like we're in trouble. ”

What is a simple scene is now becoming more and more complicated, and more importantly, the core focus of this scene should be Owen's, but now the focus seems to be slightly blurred, and something is not quite right.

Commercial movies all have a fixed routine, there is always an introduction at the beginning, with a relatively simple routine to formally introduce the male protagonist or heroine, and the concise and rich bridge often pays more attention to showing the unique charm of the protagonist, including the most prominent characteristics and attributes of the character, which will also become the epitome of the characteristics of the protagonist of the whole movie.

Basically, the mature works in the Hollywood film industry are like this, not only limited to commercial films, most films are used to such a perspective routine. Only independent art films that are anti-conventional narratives are a different story.

Even the "Gravity" and "Burst Drummer" not so long ago were the same.

At the beginning of "Jurassic World", the scene of taming the beast was chosen to show the charm of Owen - this scene is actually more advanced, the crew only took the lead in filming the reunion of Owen and Claire; Colin is ready to use this scene to show Owen's personality traits and set the tone of the whole character, but now because of the "increased role" of the four velociraptors, the situation has changed slightly.

Looking at Samuel's worried eyes, Lan Li still looked at ease, "Even if this is a disaster, it is a beautiful accident." Then Lan Li raised his chin and gestured to Pete and the others who were standing next to him eager to try, "It's always fun to try something different, or is it because you lack confidence in the way you perform with motion capture technology?"

"No, it's not...... Samuel immediately straightened his chest and said confidently.

Lan Li nodded, "Then it couldn't be better." ”

Samuel looked at the understatement Lan Li, and there was no worry at all, he could only temporarily suppress his thoughts and concentrate on his acting work, but soon, Samuel would know that his worries were indeed unnecessary.

It is true that the so-called scene-stealing does exist in movie works, and it is very frequent, funny scenes steal the style of the main play, easter eggs steal the attention of the main play, etc., such situations appear for a long time.

But the core reason for stealing the show is that the latter is not good enough, which gives the former the opportunity to win more attention and applause within the effective time. The supporting characters steal the halo of the protagonist, and the same is true.

But there are some "dramas", but it is not said that you can grab it. For Lan Li, the rivalry has never been a part to worry about, but a scene that is gearing up and looking forward to. And now too.

The lively discussion lasted for nearly fifteen minutes, and it was not more about changing the script or adjusting the plan, but about confirming the tone of the performance of the four velociraptors-

It is equivalent to saying that the entire shooting frame is still the same, but the filling content needs to be slightly adjusted, and the main changes are still on the actors themselves, with the help of Colin and Lan Li, the four actors have successively determined their core tone. Then, the filming can begin in earnest.

Lan Li stood in front of the blue screen, jumping slightly, while also activating his limbs and head, keeping his body muscles in a state of vitality, and then raised his voice to the four actors standing in front of him, "You need to treat me like a monkey, understand? In short, food, hey, hey! I'm not kidding." ”

A monkey.

Pete couldn't help but laugh, "Lan Li, I'm not kidding, looking at the famous Lan Li-Hall, but treating you like a monkey? ”

"But that's what actors can do. Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, and then saw that the four stuntmen in front of him were all distracted to varying degrees, so Lan Li added, "Or is this the reason why I can get a high salary?"

Sure enough, it's Lan Li, so ...... Is it really good to complain about the black belly?

"And if I can do it too, is there a bonus?" Samuel was the first to raise his right hand in the air, his eyes shining brightly expressing his strong desire.

"Why not?" Lan Li snapped his fingers and said neatly, "I can apply for a separate list of your names in the opening or closing credits, provided that ...... The premise is that "Lan Li simply can't finish the rest of the sentence, and the four actors are already excited—for a stuntman, it's a dream to have a name on the movie screen," provided that you can fulfill your role. ”

The four actors all stared at Lan Li with bright eyes, and their attention was highly concentrated.

Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle and got back to business, "This scene needs to have a transformation process, at the beginning, you just treat me as food, understand? Show your attack power to the fullest, you can make the atmosphere more tense, you can put some into it, no problem, but in the second half, you need to focus on me, we will explore the specific process, and gradually we will understand." ”

The content of this scene is that a staff member who has just joined Jurassic Park, in order to catch the piglets running around in the cage and avoid the chaos of the velociraptor order, but he didn't expect that the long beast trap bar was not able to lasso the piglet in time, but was hit head-on by the velociraptor The long pole was hit head-on by the velociraptor and even the whole person fell into the cage, and the velociraptor took the staff as prey and prepared to hunt, while Owen took the initiative to enter the cage in order to save the novice rookie.

"Let's ignore the fact that he fell from three floors, and as a result, his spine was not broken, and he was able to climb out alive. It's really inconsistent. But this is a Hollywood movie, what else can we complain about?" Lan Li stood in place and complained mercilessly, "It's like I can control the dinosaurs, and in comparison, falling from the third floor and still being able to run and jump doesn't seem to be a big deal." ”

The little joke made all four actors laugh.

Lan Li rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of the blue screen, retracting his smile, "Guys, look at my eyes, the point of your performance is very simple, when you treat me as a prey, see my head, and when you change the rhythm, look at my eyes, make changes according to the change in the focus of your gaze, and pay attention to your own character characteristics, I will improvise." ”

"How's it going, are you ready? Let's do some of the actors' work!"
