In the short forty-second performance just now, the details of Lan Li's small movements and changes in his eyes were really eye-opening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Fighting Cancer" has no intention of producing post-narration, which means that the inner activities of the characters will not be presented in any way, because the emotional ups and downs of the whole movie are full enough, and there is no need to make the plot more crooked.

But during Lan Li's performance just now, the jerkiness, embarrassment, distraction, and panic were vividly displayed, as if he was reading a comic, and he could clearly see a dialog box popping up on Lan Li's head, telling all his inner thoughts. This kind of scholarly cuteness and restraint is extremely vivid.

The real pinnacle moment is undoubtedly Lan Li's last stroke of genius - the voice recorder.

In the script, there is no voice recorder, and Adam simply interrupts the doctor's statement and asks questions. This was originally nothing, and the whole narrative was very smooth, but Lan Li suddenly added this sentence, and the joy suddenly doubled, but in one sentence, the simplicity and stupidity of the otaku hostage in Adam's personality were outlined.

Andrew-Airlie, the actor who plays the doctor, is not a big hit, but more often a cameo role active on the TV screen, almost all of which have no name. But he has also been rolling in Hollywood for 20 years, and he has run countless tricks, and he is definitely not a rookie who is at a loss.

But just now, Lan Li's sudden on-the-spot performance caught Andrew completely off guard, especially when he saw Lan Li's comfortable performance, all in one go, without any flaws, he couldn't identify whether it was acting or reality, Andrew's brain was stuck for a while, and he couldn't remember a word of his lines.

So, he froze in place.

"I'm sorry. Andrew hurriedly apologized, and Lan Li smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

Today is only the third day of filming for the crew, and the entire crew is still in the run-in period, and Lan Li is also fusing the Adam in his brain with himself little by little. At the same time, Lan Li is also trying some simple comedy performances.

"Me Against Cancer" is indeed a comedy movie, but as Seth said before, the burden of laughter basically falls on him, and the comedy effect of other characters is relatively not so obvious.

However, this is a very special work, and a lot of the laughs come from the wisdom and cleverness of the lines, not the kind that makes people laugh, but a bit of "Saturday Night Live" style of embarrassing jokes, which makes people laugh.

This is the style that Lan Li is good at, just look at his usual interviews. However, there is still a slight difference between the usual humor and the humor of the performance, and the reason in the final analysis is that these are two different personalities, Lan Li is not Adam, and Adam is not Lan Li.

There are many different types of comedians, one of which is like Seth Rogen, their talent is more reflected in words - that is, writing scripts or jokes, so when they perform, they don't have too much deliberate funny, basically they are performing in their true colors, relying on the laughter of lines and plot to entertain the audience.

To put it simply, they are acting on their own. Seth Rogen, Jonah-Hill, Zac Efron, and others are all on the same.

In the story of "Me Fighting Cancer", Kyle played by Seth is basically Seth in real life, and there is no difference.

But Lan Li can't, even if it's funny, he has to be funny in Adam's style, which puts forward higher requirements for performance.

Lan Li knew that the top priority was to play the role of Adam well, and the methodist way of acting required him to devote himself wholeheartedly and not be slack, but this was a comedy movie, and Lan Li didn't want his acting style to be too rigid, too serious, and too powerful, as if he was "buried alive", otherwise it would seem too inconsistent. He's always wanted to try his hand at comedy, and maybe this time he could try some simple ideas.

In the voice recorder lines just now, Lan Li was completely immersed in Adam's state, and as soon as the inspiration came, he said it casually. Lan Li personally thinks that the effect is still good, but he didn't expect that the actor was dumbfounded.

Lan Li turned his head to look at the director, cast an inquiring gaze, and verified the quality of the scene just now.

Jonathan-Levine looked left and right at the staff who couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then gave Lan Li a thumbs up in affirmation, "Good, everything was fine just now." In fact, if you think of some lines, you are welcome to pop them up at any time. We can see how the performance works and then decide. ”

Jonathan is very young, only thirty years old this year, and is completely a rising star for the position of director. He is a comedy director with a unique idea, and has received a lot of recognition in the independent film circle, in addition to "I Fight Cancer", his most widely known work is "Warm Corpse", released in 2013, this alternative zombie romance movie, which has been highly recognized and opened the door to Hollywood for him.

Jonathan's talent is epitomized in capturing the details, using tones and light to create the atmosphere, and the choice of soundtrack is often stunning, and then through the accurate control of the camera, the details of the actors' performances are brought to life to achieve the effect he wants. To put it simply, he is a director who knows how to make the most of all resources.

Comedians have a wide variety of acting styles, but few of them use nuanced performances to drive laughter - after all, there is a big difference between comedy and drama genre.

After two days of short running-in, Jonathan found that Lan Li's line skills were really good.

I've only heard of it before, and some people will praise a certain actor for "good lines", especially an actor from a British stage play, but Jonathan never understood what this meant, until Lan Li appeared. A simple line can taste many details, especially subtle changes in tone, which can often bring unexpected comedic effect.

For example, the line of the voice recorder just now, with a strong interest in the tone, as if a technical otaku met at a new product launch conference of a technology product, with a little inquisitive mentality in curiosity, and the endless words almost stopped the car, and the excitement and excitement hidden in it can even be heard to be eager to try.

But after noticing the doctor's astonishment, he suddenly braked urgently, and then his tone precipitated, some panicked, some embarrassed, some jerky, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had not completely disappeared, with a hint of exploration doubt. Yes, there is no fear, no worry, no timidity, more confusion and curiosity.

The disparity between the two tones creates an absurd ironic effect, and even if you close your eyes, you can taste the subtle changes in them, which is really hard to help but laugh at - just look at the reaction of the staff on the spot.

Not only Jonathan, but Anna, Bryce and others who were watching the shooting on the side all showed stunned looks, and there was surprise in their eyes that could not be concealed.

From the beginning of Lan Li's debut, until he was put into filming, his performance has always been very strange, and his unreasonable behavior makes people completely confused. It's not that it's rude, or how rude, but the rhythm and frequency are always incompatible, and this feeling of stumbling is really powerless.

Everyone is a little worried: what about the rivalry?

Under such worries, it is inevitable that I have no bottom in my heart, and I can't help but start to speculate:

Could it be that all the previous fame was just touted? He was just an embroidered pillow under the halo of glory? In the final analysis, it was not because of how good Lan Li's acting skills were, but because his backstage background was really tough, and he created such a situation? Even if it was an Oscar nomination, it was just a public relations ploy during the awards season, otherwise how could Lan Li beat James Franco?

The shooting in the previous two days was decent, and I couldn't see a reason, but today, everyone really realized: Lan Li is definitely not an embroidered pillow.

The most shocking was definitely Seth.

Looking at Lan Li in front of him, he didn't even know what words to use to express it, this was not Lan Li, nor Will, but a stranger that Seth didn't recognize - he could feel that there was a little bit of Will's shadow, but it was a little different from Will, that kind of sudden cold humor was much stronger than Will.

Seth suddenly became excited, and he dug up the treasure!

Compared with the excitement of the filming scene, Lan Li is much calmer. In this film, he focuses more on style, on character, and on devotion, rather than on lines or emotions – issues that only need to be considered when shooting "detached", and he is now focusing exclusively on methodological research.

The lines blurted out just now prove that Lan Li's sense of substitution is on the right track. It was Adam speaking, not Lan Li as an actor.

Now, what Lan Li needs to do is to keep it that way, and take the black humor of comedy a step further - this is not an absurd comedy of/pee/fart.

"Andrew, are you okay?" Jonathan asked, Andrew nodded repeatedly in confirmation, and then Jonathan looked back at the set, "Then let's start filming again, starting from scratch." ”

Because Lan Li's performance had changed, Jonathan decided that the angle of the camera also needed to be changed to capture the details of the performance.

After filming started again, this time, the whole performance was very smooth, and the burden was still very good, and then the doctor took the opportunity to pick up the words, "Yes, come and see your MRI." The doctor turned the computer screen to Adam.

Adam's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Oh, Lenovo." Is it a relative?" The absurd thought flashed, and he pursed his lips, his eyes a little more meaningful, but then he listened intently to the doctor's explanation.

However, those unfamiliar words were really unfriendly to him, he lowered his eyes slightly, leaned forward slightly, cleared his throat, and had a polite smile on his face, but his eyes revealed his true emotions, and he looked confused, "Uh, what?"
