This kitchen quarrel is the most important scene in "Love is Crazy", not because it connects the ending of the story, but because it exhausts the core of the movie. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, Jacob and Anna are still deeply in love with each other, deeply in love - Jacob keeps flying to London, persevering in his efforts, trying to get closer to Anna in the face of Sam's love, and Anna is still jealous, still upset, still missing, so much so that when the bracelet Jacob gave her is accidentally torn, she almost collapses.
Their love is so hot that it consumes almost all their energy, even though they are separated by the Atlantic, they are still trying to get closer to each other, the physical exhaustion gradually turns into mental exhaustion, they no longer even have the strength to quarrel, and they gradually forget the goal they strive for and the end they yearn for.
So, what the hell are they doing?
If you choose to give up, will things be simpler, Anna and Simon set up their life in London, Jacob and Sam run their furniture studio, laughing at the rivers and lakes, and really draw an end; if you choose to give up, will life be easier, Jacob does not need to constantly travel between the two cities, Anna does not need to beg for a visa; if she chooses to give up, will life be smoother, Anna can sprint her career as a journalist and climb the peak, and Jacob can also concentrate on designing furniture and expanding the businessβ¦β¦
Every ounce of sanity in their minds was screaming and shouting that they should give up. They still love each other deeply, but they have also begun to hate each other.
People always think that love and hate are inseparable opposites, but in a trance, I realized that in fact, they are two sides of the same coin, integrated with each other, indistinguishable, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, the more painful the love, the harder it is to love. When love and hatred have become one, what is it that supports them to keep going?
This is the theme of "Love is Crazy": Anna and Jacob still love each other deeply, but at the same time they have someone to accompany them, so how should they choose? Love or companionship? Or, more specifically, is the essence of love passion or companionship?
The quarrel in this scene requires not only tension and sparks, but also intricate emotional changes, and every line and every look hides too many emotions. And in the performance just now, Lan Li and Felicity obviously failed to do their best.
Lan Li clearly knew the difficulty of this scene.
In the last life, this scene was not filmed well, the two leading actors did not act well, the lines and emotions were not in place, and only superficially showed the contradictions between the two people, but did not show each other's inner hesitation, fetters and confrontations, not to mention showing the contradiction between love and hatred, so as to weaken the power of emotion.
However, this time, Drake has higher expectations for the movie, the previous high-quality shooting, the deep connotation of the script has been excavated, and the emotions have accumulated enough to reach the critical point of qualitative change, so he naturally expects the two actors to perform more excellently, completely detonate all the chemical reactions, and push the whole movie to a new height.
Lan Li's state is not very good, this is unprecedented, the first time in the world.
Lan Li's delicate grasp of emotions is not in place, what kind of mentality Jacob has, whether there is an emotion between him and Sam that surpasses that of his colleagues, whether he is more weak or angry in the face of Anna's questioning, what kind of emotion is he in the face of Anna's suspicion, not to mention the change in his mentality when he finds out that Anna and Simon are tired later.
If Lan Li's own understanding is not complete, how can he deduce it?
In the three works so far - including all the previous filming of "Love Crazy", Lan Li did not feel this way, this seems to be the first time he has encountered a bottleneck in his acting skills? Or is this not a bottleneck, just stuck? After all, the state of every actor will go up and down to a greater or lesser extent.
Lan Li tried to clear his thoughts, but found that this was not an easy task, and his previously well-organized brain seemed to be in chaos;"Or is this kind of emotion Jacob's feelings?" Lan Li thought about it seriously, but found that his thoughts were still blocked, and he couldn't explain it at all, this feeling was really terrible, and Lan Li couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Lan Li, can we communicate?" Felicity called out to Lan Li, who was getting up, "I don't feel good, really bad." β
Felicity said honestly that in this scene just now, if Lan Li's performance was flawed and unsatisfactory, then her performance was terrible. Her lines are like a soul wandering out of the world, her performance is stiff and simply unbelievable, not to mention spirituality, even the basic skills are completely gone, and it is completely impossible for people to look at directly.
Felicity felt that she couldn't sort out such complex emotions, she couldn't understand Anna's emotions, let alone empathize, so she needed to talk to Lan Li. Not only because Lan Li is her partner, but also because Lan Li is a good actor - an actor who is even better than her.
Lan Li couldn't help but rub her temples, "Yes, but ...... I need to talk to Drake first, and if you want, you can come along. Lan Li showed a wry smile, "My head is a little unclear now, and the conversation may solve some problems." β
"Huh. It's the same here. Felicity couldn't help but laugh, "Then I'll go with you to Drake." β
The two men came to the monitor, and Drake was revisiting the scene. It must be admitted that this scene is still of an average level, which can be used by Drake's previous standards, and there is no problem with putting it on the big screen, but after this period of high-level edification and training, Drake's vision has also risen, and naturally he can no longer continue to meet such a level of performance, he needs more things.
"Drake. Lan Li interrupted Drake's re-watching and directly threw out the question, "Nothing happened between Jacob and Sam during this time, right?"
If it was before, Lan Li's words were full of categorical affirmation, but today they have become interrogative sentences. Derek could also sense Lan Li's absence, but he didn't ask too much, and nodded directly in affirmation, "Yes, nothing happened between him and Sam since Jacob and Anna got married. "Is this Jacob's story, or is it Drake's story?
Lan Li nodded meaningfully, which is why Jacob was so angry and so irritable. But what is even more terrifying is that Jacob realizes that the bond of trust between him and Anna has been severed, and they begin to suspect and question each other, and behind the quarrel lies an even more cruel reality.
Jacob knew that even if he had convinced Anna, so what? It would only be temporary, and that a phone call, a look, a small thing might have re-ignited pent-up doubts in the future.
"So what really happened between Anna and Simon, right?" Felicity wasn't sure either, and after receiving Drake's affirmative answer, Felicity fell silent, she now understood Anna's inner uneasiness and apprehension. Not only because of Jacob and Sam, but also because of her betrayal, she began to question herself, began to feel sorry for herself, and even began to hate herself, but she did not know what to do.
It reminded her of the conversation between Jacob and the two of them before he first came to London. Jacob told her that he was like an outsider. This time, she becomes an outsider in Jacob's life.
Felicity fell silent suddenly, and she could feel the despair and pain in Anna's heart. But when did things start to go wrong? She tried to recall those clues, what were Jacob's emotional threads like in the first place, and how did Lan Li interpret them?
Felicity raised her head and looked at Lan Li, "You say, are we still in love?" This question is extremely strange, it is clear that Felicity is one of the people involved, why do you ask "us"?
But Lan Li understood at once, and Felicity was asking Jacob and Anna, "Yes, we are still in love, deeply in love with each other. Lan Li rubbed his temples again, he wanted to hold a cigarette in his mouth now, and searched his pocket, only to find that he was wearing a costume, and Jacob was not in the habit of carrying cigarettes, "But sometimes, love can't solve all problems." β
"So, is it distance?" asked Felicity.
"Nope. It's just life. Lan Li replied again, and the faint sadness and helplessness were revealed, is Jacob also in this mood? I feel that I am slowly suffocating, but I don't know what is suppressing.
There's no way he'll be in this anymore, it's horribly dull, "Drake, I need five minutes." β
After saying that, Lan Li ignored the stunned gaze of everyone, quickly left the small apartment, sprinted all the way downstairs, trotted briskly along the street, walked out of a street, finally found a coffee shop, bought a cigarette in it, stuffed one into his mouth, and calmed down a little, of course, the cold fresh air of London also helped a lot.
He needed some fresh air.
Lowering your head, emptying all thoughts in your mind for a while, intermittently, Jacob's images and memories will still come flooding back, but that suffocating feeling is disappearing, which is a good thing.
Along the street, Lan Li walked slowly, what he needed now was to calm down first, and then to think. Take a deep breath, the crisp and cold air of early autumn makes the whole person feel much more comfortable.
Two figures appeared in his sight, standing at the bottom of the apartment building, looking left and right, as if looking for a trace of the door number, and then they saw Lan Li, and Lan Li also saw them, his footsteps stopped, far away, more than twenty steps away, he stood in place.
But the two people didn't mind, the petite and well-proportioned woman raised her right hand and waved it gently, with a gentle and bright smile on her face, "Long time no see, Lan Li." β
