1063 Chemical reactions
"Yes, I think so too. Lan Li nodded in agreement, "There is undoubtedly chemistry between Ryan and Alex, but it shouldn't be a collision of hormones, but a communication of wisdom and thoughts. Two people have similar pursuits, similar goals, similar ways of thinking, and truly communicate through their souls. β
Lan Li's eyes lit up slightly, and she began to talk endlessly about her ideas and thoughts about Ryan, and every now and then, Rooney would interject decisively, raise her doubts, and further refine the image of Ryan in her mind.
On the one hand, Rooney is amazed by Lan Li's grand concept, and on the other hand, Lan Li is also amazed by Rooney's keen touch. During the exchange, Rooney asked extremely interesting questions many times, which made Lan Li have to pause, think carefully, and readjust Ryan's setting, and improve the whole character little by little.
You can't stop communicating back and forth, Nathan who was standing next to him had a sad face, at first, he could still understand, but gradually he couldn't keep up. Lan Li and Rooney's words, every word and sentence are simple and easy to understand, but when they enter their minds, they become heavenly books, and they can't understand a single word.
I'm so tired.
"I think Ryan and Alex are two very different personalities. In their daily communication, the two sides even don't like each other, because of different personalities, rhythms and styles, but these two people are so far from each other, but they have the same way of thinking, and they find the same beat on the pursuit of life and the meaning of life. β
"Is this to highlight the differences between the characters and thus enrich the meaning of the play, or is it to emphasize Ryan's self-distress, whose loneliness and loneliness come not from his character, but from his soul?"
"The latter. β
"Hmm...... An interesting idea to enrich the protagonist from the setting of supporting characters. β
"Alfonso's script didn't leave me with a lot of clues and support, and more importantly, even if I wanted to ask for help, there really weren't many people, and you were the only choice. β
"Aha, the famous Lan Li-Hall actually has times when he encounters problems, which is really rare. β
"At the end of the day, I'm just an actor, and even if you repeat my full name, it won't change anything, and my abilities are limited after all. β
There was no hindrance or pause in the conversation, and there was mockery and ridicule between the two people, and then suddenly the two of them laughed at the same time, and the whole exchange flowed smoothly and flowed for thousands of miles. For Nathan, who was watching, it was a torture and torment.
Lan Li and Rooney's eyes both stayed on Nathan, and then laughed at the same time - in a way, Nathan is actually Lan Li's family or younger brother, supporting Ryan wholeheartedly, but after all, he can't fully understand Ryan, let alone keep up with Ryan's way of thinking and rhythm.
Nathan was still confused, his eyes full of confusion, and the laughter of the two men only made the question marks on his head more and more unanswerable.
Rooney retracted his gaze and looked at Lan Li again, "I have an idea, Alex is a humorous personality, and even occasionally makes some jokes and deliberately makes fun of Ryan, while Ryan's personality is relatively rigid, usually an iceberg, hiding all emotions tightly, but in the desperate situation of life, it falls apart little by little. β
"Humor? Are you sure? Why do I think the settings of the two characters are reversed?" Lan Li frowned slightly, Rooney's temperament is even colder, there is a congenital sense of coldness, and the chemistry between the characters is quite interesting during the performance, but now, Rooney wants to challenge a humorous role?
Rooney shrugged her shoulders unsurprisingly, "I've always wanted to try a character with a breakthrough, such as humor, and the kind of mouth full of flowers. This time in 'gravity', you can try it a little, and if it is appropriate, you can further broaden the way of drama in the future. β
"So, you're using our work as an experiment?" Lan Li teased narrowly.
Rooney didn't raise her eyes, and retorted, "Aren't you?"
Referring to all the ideas that Lan Li had just had, the truly bold and adventurous person should be Lan Li, not Rooney.
In Lan Li's conception, Ryan's social attributes are stripped away, in a sense, this is not a "normal character", which is completely different from any of Lan Li's previous performances, but with the advancement of the plot of the movie, the social attributes return to Ryan little by little, just like the "robot" has become a "natural person" again, and the character is plump and three-dimensional again.
Even Ryan Stone after being plump and three-dimensional, this is different from any of the roles Lan Li played before, a cold and lonely genius image. Strangely enough, Lan Li has never played the role of a genius, although his public image has always been such a feeling.
Whether it is a "robot" or a cold genius, this is a bold attempt, even a crazy attempt. As Lan Li himself said, "gravity" seems to be an experimental field, specially used to explore acting skills.
For a moment, Lan Li and Rooney's conversation was interrupted for a moment, and the two of them stared straight at each other, catching the glittering halo in the depths of their eyes. In the communication just now, that natural sense of freedom not only makes people relaxed and happy, but also involuntarily gradually indulges in it, slowly, slowly sinking, immersed in such an atmosphere, unable to extricate themselves.
Carefully searching the light and shadow between the other party's eyes, as if he could touch a faint current, and then in those clear eyes, he saw his own face and eyes, and the tacit understanding was quietly surging;
In the midst of the chuckle, the two of them looked away, and a warm smile surged in their chests.
In the end, it was Lan Li who took the lead in breaking the short silence, and pretended to be calm, "The director didn't leave us much space in the script, nor did he leave us too many choices. So, I had no choice but to be brave enough to break the shackles. However, are you sure you want to choose a humorous image, what if it doesn't work?"
"That proves I'm not a good actor. Rooney also returned to normal, and her answer was even more crisp and neat, and she was unrelenting, "So, I specially chose this work, the opportunity to cooperate with Lan Li-Hall, don't you know that how many actors are envying me now, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." β
Looking at the narrowness in Rooney's eyes, Lan Li said seriously, "I really don't know, why don't you talk to me about it?"
The anti-general army, which made Rooney slightly stunned, and then saw the smile emerging from the depths of Lan Li's eyes, Rooney couldn't help biting her lower lip lightly, the smile still didn't hold back after all, climbed up the corner of her mouth, and responded unhurriedly, "Why don't we find a place now, ask for two beers, sit down and communicate slowly?"
"Beer? That's a good idea. Another unfamiliar voice intervened, interrupting the conversation between Lan Li and Rooney, and both of them turned their heads before seeing Alfonso CuarΓ³n.
Instantly the center of attention, Alfonso didn't seem to be very comfortable, scratched his head shyly and awkwardly, lowered his eyes, and avoided Lan Li and Rooney's gaze, "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. β
Alfonso had been there for a short time, and Nathan noticed Alfonso's presence, but he made a muted gesture that didn't interrupt the communication between Lan Li and Rooney.
He likes the communication between these two people, and before he officially enters the crew, he can already feel the chemistry between the actors, and the two of them are stepping on the same rhythm on top of the concept of the role and performance, which is a good thing.
During the audition process, Alfonso decided on Rooney, because he particularly liked the delicate and tenacious texture of Rooney's performance, and he always felt that the rivalry between Rooney and Lan Li might burst out with different sparks. Now it seems that he made the right decision.
The only regret is that Alfonso himself was not able to join it.
As a director and as a screenwriter, Alfonso's mouth was itching, eager to be part of their conversation, eager to express his opinion, eager to come up with ideas for the characters as a director, but it was frustrating that he never found the right opportunity. Now, finally seeing an opportunity, Alfonso impulsively opened his mouth to cut to the topic.
"Why don't we find a place to sit down, prepare a few beers, and have a good conversation?" Alfonso's eyes widened, first at Rooney on the left and then at Lan Li on the right, asking for their consent, but the nervous, deer-rubbing hand movements revealed the tension in his heart.
Rooney was stunned, a trace of surprise slipped through her eyes, obviously she didn't expect Alfonso to be such a shy personality, raised her head to look at Lan Li, and then saw the corners of Lan Li's mouth raised, her eyes flashed lightly, expressing affirmation, which made Rooney also laugh.
"No problem. Lan Li replied, ending Alfonso's pain, and then saw Alfonso clench his fist heavily, and his expression couldn't help but laugh, "What, you want to drink beer?" Lan Li deliberately blurred the focus.
Alfonso froze, then honestly said, "No, it's not. I've read your last email and made changes to the script, and now I'd like to talk a little bit more, but the details still need to be improved. Have you now settled on the framework for the way and the rhythm of the performance?"
Lan Li didn't answer immediately, but made an inviting gesture, "We've been here for thirty minutes, and the townspeople probably think we have bad intentions. Let's find a place to sit. β
In the midst of a low laugh, Lan Li politely patted Alfonso's arm, "Regarding the performance, I also need to take a look at the equipment, didn't you say before that this time the shooting equipment is different......
