In the past year, it has not been easy for Lan Li.

From Berlin to Heather Cross, from "Hypegate" to the Grammys, from the Oscars to London's West End, and from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity", the ups and downs of life fragments occupy all Lan Li's thoughts, and only when he is on the stage of the West End and Broadway, he can forget all his worries and sorrows for a while and devote himself wholeheartedly to his work.

Day after day, there is not even breathing room.

He needs to rest, he needs a long vacation, to completely relax, to empty his mind, to give up thinking about all the chores, or to calm down and think about these memories, always, he needs to slow down for a while.

After the performance of "Les Miserables", he will completely stay away from the stage, away from the camera, away from the spotlight, which was the original plan, but ...... "gravity" appeared.

To be honest, Lan Li clearly knows what an important performance opportunity this is, and what a rare classic masterpiece this is. When the film promised Alfonso Cuarón, he was sincere, without the slightest reluctance, and the enthusiasm in his bones couldn't wait and was excited, and he wanted to plunge into the world of acting.

But deep down, Lan Li always had a trace of uncertainty. Not about "gravity", but about his own.

He wasn't sure if he should just keep running like a workaholic, he wasn't sure if he was in the best shape to influence the next shoot, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to continue to put on a great show after a long period of intense work.

Until now.

All uncertainty is gone, without a trace.

This is the right choice, this is the source of enthusiasm, and this is the motivation for hard work.

He can choose to rest, anytime, anywhere, but a work like "Gravity" and a character like Ryan Stone are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss it, you miss it; physical and mental exhaustion, but still can't withstand the joy and enthusiasm in the depths of the soul, it is swept away in an instant, and even trembling with excitement, and completely enjoying it.

At this time, my mind once again savored everything that happened in the light box, and my blood couldn't help but start boiling. This is him, this is the most real him, the name is just a symbol, whether it is Lan Li or Chu Jiashu, he is an actor, crazy for the performance, cheering for the performance, and intoxicated for the performance.

If he could, Lan Li would now like to devote himself to the shooting of "gravity", put all his ideas and interpretations into actual combat, polish and sculpt little by little, and present a more profound and vivid Ryan Stone, his own version of Ryan Stone.

"So, has Ryan Stone found the purpose of life and the meaning of life?"

This seemingly plain and simple sentence saw through layers of fog and all kinds of illusions, and truly understood Lan Li's pursuit and persistence, and also truly understood everything that Lan Li insisted on in the light box, belonging to the tacit understanding between actors and the madness between dreamers, which overlapped in an instant.

Then, reality came like a tidal wave, and the long dream finally disappeared, and everything became real, more real than ever.

Again, he felt gravity.

Rooney, standing in front of her, smiling and her eyes burning, stared at Lan Li intently and devotedly.

That cold face revealed a trace of warmth under the pale yellow sweater, and the flying look and bright light between the eyebrows could not hide the true emotions in the depths of the heart, even if the two people were separated by seven or eight meters, but in a trance, it seemed that they could see each other's projections in each other's eyes, shining.

Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and Lan Li nodded slightly, expressing affirmation, "Yes, I found it." ”

Rooney looked at Lan Li quietly, did not speak, did not move, the smile paused for a moment, and bloomed wantonly, not asking about Lan Li's experience, but opened another topic, "You say, if Alex is at the moment of cutting the rope, in addition to the chance of survival, she herself chooses to give up, is it possible?"

Lan Li's movements paused in place and chewed carefully, "So, you mean, two people who have lost their lives to the extreme, working together on the space station, and then encountering a devastating disaster together?"

This answer is really not according to common sense, Rooney reminisced, and then reacted to the ridicule and ridicule hidden in it, and laughed out loud directly, and couldn't stop at all, she nodded solemnly, and said very seriously, "I guess, maybe geniuses have some self-destructive tendencies." ”

After the joke, Lan Li returned to the topic, "What do you mean is that it is precisely because of the resemblance in the depths of Ryan's soul that they became friends, so when he was dying, Ryan resurfaced Alex's image, so Alex successfully awakened Ryan's survival/desire/hope." ”

Just a face, just a word, Rooney and Lan Li understood each other.

Does that mean that Alex regretted it after cutting the rope? No, regret is not the right word, it should be ...... Well, wake up. Lan Li further expressed her opinion, "After choosing to give up, Alex began to drift in space, and one step ahead, she had already completed the transformation and sublimation of her spirit. ”

In the movie, Alex and Ryan are both in a desperate situation, but Ryan has a better chance of survival, so Alex cuts his rope to prevent both of them from losing the possibility of survival. Alex then begins to float endlessly in space, quietly waiting for the oxygen to run out, then suffocates to death, turning into a mass of space junk.

Rooney immediately understood the meaning of Lan Li's words, but she shook her head, "No, Alex appeared in Ryan's consciousness, it was just an imaginary image from him, and they resonated with each other, but in fact, Alex had lost communication at that time, and according to the remaining oxygen content, she was also dead. Therefore, Alex has no time or opportunity to complete the sublimation of his thoughts, and those perceptions and experiences are all from Ryan's own vision. ”

"I know, I'm not talking about Ryan's vision, but the source of the resonance. Lan Li instantly cut into the node of Rooney's idea:

Everything comes from the similarities and echoes between Ryan and Alex, but as Lan Li said, if Alex and Ryan are careful to hide themselves and never really open their hearts and communicate, they can have a tacit understanding and can rub sparks, but it is difficult to truly resonate.

Lan Li continued, "So, I'm talking about Ryan and Alex's exchange after the rope was cut. ”

Before Alex completely lost contact, there was still some communication between the two people, and Alex continued to encourage Ryan and support Ryan, becoming an important companion and supporter of Ryan to break through the predicament. But alas, when Ryan returned to the space station, it was still too late to save Alex.

It's a very short time frame, but Lan Li gives Ryan and Alex a bridge of resonance.

In other words, as Lan Li said, after cutting the rope, Alex realized his fate, and in the process of moving away from the space station little by little, death began to approach little by little, and the realization happened in the process.

In the script, this section is not framed, but is presented only through Alex's communication with Ryan in the voiceover, showing that Alex is drifting away.

But now, Lan Li has given this scene with no picture and no content, more "connotation", that is, Alex's personal perception and sublimation of thoughts, and through limited conversations, he and Ryan have completed the communication above the soul, and then form a resonance.

Difference?

The difference is that Alex's tone, content and expression, these details can reflect the fullness and richness of emotions, and even the level, which is not only the carving of Alex's character, but also the relationship between Alex and Ryan, as well as the subsequent storyline.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a serious test for the actors. In the part that cannot be seen by the camera, the transformation of ideas is conveyed and interpreted only through lines, and even the interlacing of two souls is completed in just a few words, and the details and power of the performance will become crucial.

Lan Li didn't explain too much, but in a word, Rooney had already completed all the homework in her mind, her eyes suddenly brightened, she thought carefully, and jumped into the next stage, "Well, my idea of Alex is still incomplete enough, my current thoughts are ......"

As she spoke, Rooney couldn't wait to start pacing around the room, chatting about her understanding and setting of Alex, and exchanging different opinions with Lan Li, and the conversation between the two began to be heated again.

"Blue ......" Nathan's call was stuck in his throat, and his footsteps stopped at the door, braking suddenly, not entering the door, looking at Lan Li and Rooney, who were gushing and foaming, the hot and impassioned atmosphere made people yearn for it, but it also made people daunted, as if here, they couldn't find their place, so they could only turn around and leave in embarrassment, leaving the whole space to them.

Nathan was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, slowed his steps, and left the room backwards, quietly turning to leave.

"How's Lan Li?" Roy, who was standing outside, cast a concerned look.

Nathan thought about it seriously and said with a smile, "Very good, Lan Li is fine now." After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "I think it seems to be in better shape than at any time before this year." ”
