Say goodbye to 2013 and embrace 2014.

After the "Dream Back to the Kerosene Lamp Bar" concert, Lan Li left the cold and windy New York City and plunged headlong into the warm winter sun of California, ready to start the filming of the last stage of "Interstellar" again.

There is no doubt that "Interstellar" is the largest and most cumbersome work that Lan Li has ever filmed, just the shooting base has been switched to three places, the shooting cycle lasted for two months but still failed to complete half of the shooting, and the next part of the shooting in Los Angeles was the most difficult.

But objectively speaking, the workload of "Interstellar" for two months is still not as good as the workload of "Burst Drummer" for one week. It's not just because of the difference between an independent crew and a huge crew, but also because of the difference in performance tasks - art films require actors to delve into, while commercial films require actors to relax. Different pursuits are also destined for different workloads.

For Lan Li now, the filming of "Interstellar" is more of a pleasure, and he really enjoys it. At the same time, Lan Li also has more time to study the relationship between the director's work and the actors' performances, including lighting, composition, movement and perspective.

In fact, this is a basic skill of a drama actor. When an actor stands on the stage of the drama, facing the audience from different angles from different sides, he must take into account the details such as the perspective and lighting to present his performance, but on the whole, this is not the most important part of the drama stage, but the line skills and body language are.

Film and theater are very different arts.

The reason why film is called the art of the director is because the director captures and presents the characters, stories and scenes according to the story line of the script, using the lens as his own eyes and perspective, which is a crucial link, and the same plot can be recorded in different ways to present different feelings.

The simplest, top-down or bottom-up view, this is a completely different viewing experience. The impact of lens and perspective on a film is multifaceted. Naturally, the actors' performances also need to be adjusted.

Of course, Lan Li understands this. When filming "Pacific War", this was the reason why the first part made mistakes, and then gradually found out his own way, but Lan Li never studied it seriously, and more often he was immersed in the role, bringing out the performance with his own feelings and presenting it in front of the director, as for how the director recorded, there was no time to care.

Christopher Nolan is a director with very characteristic camera movements and editing, and his requirements for actors are relatively relaxed, which gives Lan Li more performance space to slowly ponder - how to present the performance according to the director's lens, and what role do these performance details play for the role?

This will not change the way Lan Li performs, but it will allow Lan Li to have a more comprehensive understanding of the characters and the movie.

This can be considered a learning process.

After returning from the short Christmas holiday, Lan Li still maintained a positive and vigorous vitality, and couldn't wait to return to the crew to start filming again.

"Oh my God...... God, please don't smile so brightly, okay? I always think you did it on purpose. God, Lan Li, you're such a nasty guy!" spoke to the crew's third assistant playwit, Megan Shanke, who was in charge of receiving Meadow Ryan and other visiting groups when she was in Canada.

After two months of getting along, the atmosphere of the crew is gradually getting along, and Megan has become much more comfortable, and occasionally jokes with Lan Li, just like now.

Megan raised her hands, covered her cheeks with the script, and let out a complaining voice in annoyance, but she couldn't hide her shyness, "I need sweets now, I need sweets now!" I want to go on strike right now just in front of the set. ”

For 9-to-5 office workers, Monday is bad news.

And for Hollywood crews whose working hours are uncertain, the resumption of work is bad news.

has just experienced a ten-day vacation and returned to the crew, everyone is complaining happily, and as a result, you can see that Lan Li is gearing up and eager to try, which is simply angry!

"Do you need me to join in?" Lan Li still didn't hide his good mood, and laughed happily, "I think it's better to go into battle collectively for such a protest, which means that the entire crew is united, and the director and producer may take it seriously, isn't it?"

It's obviously just a joke and a complaint, but because of Lan Li's seriousness, he has become in a dilemma.

Megan put the script down heavily, glaring viciously at Lan Li, "You did it on purpose, right?" But she looked like a corgi, not the slightest threat.

Lan Li nodded earnestly in agreement, "Yes. ”

"......" Mei Gan was almost choked to death by his own breath, facing Lan Li's calm expression, and finally surrendered and lost the battle, gritting his teeth and complaining, "Lan Li, do you know? You are really, really annoying sometimes, and I finally know why so many people in Hollywood don't like you!"

"Just sometimes?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought it had always been like this." Looks like I need to keep trying. ”

"Lan Li-Hale!" Megan shouted, but he still had no power at all, about the same as a little sheep, and then Megan saw his savior, "Jessica, hey, Jessica, long time no see! God, you're finally here, you say, Lan Li isn't a very, very annoying guy?"

Jessica Chastain had just arrived at Burbank's studio, coming in a golf cart with a relaxed and bright smile on her face, and before she had even left the golf cart, she heard Megan's complaint, she looked Lan Li up and down, and then nodded in affirmation, "Of course, he's the most hated guy in the world." ”

Megan immediately burst into a smug smile.

Jessica continued, "But he's also a once-in-a-century actor, I mean, maybe he's a little bit worse than Marlon Brando, but it's pretty much the same." So, I don't really mind if he's annoying or not, I just need to be able to put on a good show on the screen, and that's enough. ”

"Poof. The other staff members standing not far from the side couldn't help but want to burst into laughter, but they were still forced to laugh because of Megan's / obscene / power / / did not dare to laugh.

Jessica's words weren't finished, and she added another shot at the end, "Unless you have a crush on him, that's a different story." ”

"Jessica!" Megan couldn't believe her ears.

Then all the staff began to shout, "Lan Li and Mei Gan sit on the tree! Lan Li and Mei Gan sit on the tree!"

Lan Li raised his right hand in the air, and after Jessica got out of the car, the two of them came to high-five each other - obviously, the two of them were in a group.

Megan looked at Jessica speechlessly, her mouth full of mouths and she couldn't explain clearly.

Jessica couldn't help but start looking forward to it, "How about it, are you ready? ”

"Miss, this beautiful lady, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have much of a role in Los Angeles, and I'm the one who should really be excited, okay?" Lan Li reminded with a serious face.

Jessica waved her hand nonchalantly, "Have you heard about it before? They built a model of a space-time black hole in the studio, and they explained it to me, but the professional vocabulary of physics and astronomy is really too profound, and I am more looking forward to seeing the model on the set, is this true?"

"Chris had mentioned it to me before, and he emailed me the proposal, and my good friend accidentally saw it and studied it seriously for a long time, and he said it was very interesting. "Matthew's freak is obviously a lawyer, but his interest in the natural sciences has never waned," I was more curious about how Chris created the texture of space. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm curious, too!" Jessica nodded in agreement, "How did you do it when you filmed 'Gravity' before?"

Ignoring Megan at all, Lan Li and Jessica walked towards the studio with a smile and a smile. Apparently, Jessica is also a workaholic, even crazier than Lan Li.

Megan stood behind, shoulders drooping, and stood there with a sad expression.

Then you can see Timothée Chalamet jumping up and down and saying cheerfully, "Happy New Year, Megan, why do you look so sad?"

Megan blinked, looked up to the sky and sighed, "What kind of crew is this?" "Why is everyone a workaholic?"

Timothy didn't know why, and his head was full of question marks, "Huh?"

Megan also gave up and pointed in the direction of the studio, "Let's go inside, Lan Li and Jessica have arrived, and they are ready to study the shooting model to see how to shoot next." ”

"Really, that's great!" Timothy cheered, took two steps, and then turned to give Megan a hug, "All the best for the new year!" and rushed towards the studio.

Meghan was left alone: she wanted to be quiet.

Timothy walked into the studio, and before he could speak, the exclamation was already stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even make the sound of "Wow", but he looked at the grand scene in front of him with a surprised face, couldn't believe his eyes, and walked to Lan Li and Jessica lightly and cautiously, even he didn't know why, and asked in a soft voice, "Next, will we finish shooting here?"
