Although Rodrigo still maintained his politeness, Lan Li could feel the politeness and perfunctory, he didn't understand what was happening, the two of them just looked at each other, didn't they?

Is it because Rodrigo thinks he's too young? Or is it because Rodrigo has invited Ryan to play the role?

Of course, Lan Li knows his disadvantages, he is too young, which is actually not a good thing for Hollywood. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEvery year, a large number of teen movies are born in Hollywood, but the quality is rare, the golden age of Hollywood actors is thirty-five to forty-five years old, more than eighty percent of the age of movie protagonists are controlled within this range, and most of the young actors play supporting roles. This is also one of the important reasons why it is extremely difficult for young actors to break into fame.

The age of the male protagonist in "Buried Alive" is set to be about thirty to thirty-five years old.

However, no matter what the reason is, Lan Li came to the audition today in the hope of doing her best to fight for this performance opportunity. Today's outfit was also carefully chosen, and he had no intention of giving up easily.

"Thank you for the compliment, it shows that my first job paid off. Lan Li showed a grateful smile, and the easy teasing made Charles chuckle too, but Rodrigo raised his eyebrows slightly - "Pacific War" is Lan Li's debut novel?

"I came here today to participate in the 'bury alive' audition. Lan Li's gaze fell on Rodrigo, "You shouldn't have watched 'Pacific War', I'm really relieved, these are two completely different characters, there is no fixed impression of the constraints, my confidence in today's audition has risen a little." ”

Rodrigo couldn't hold back his laughter, this young man was indeed on the edge of the sword and different. Other rookie actors are eager to promote their previous work, hoping to increase the stakes for successful auditions, but he has gone the other way, is this full of confidence? or inexperienced?

Thinking about it further, among the countless lists of works, he chose to "bury him alive", which is an interesting thing in itself, isn't it?

"So, can we start the audition now? Or do I need to wait in line?" Lan Li stood behind Charles, implying that Charles was the actor who was auditioning, and this simple gesture made both Rodrigo and Charles laugh.

Charles waved his hand repeatedly, "I won't disturb your work." Good luck!!!" The first tone was to Rodrigo, and the second was to Lan Li.

Rodrigo took half a step back and sat back on the couch, "Again, what's your name?"

"Lan Li. ”

"So, you're British?" said Rodrigo, a Spaniard, who wasn't that sensitive to accents, but the tone of his London accent was still very distinctive.

Lan Li sat down across from Rodrigo, "I guess Paul should be an American. Lan Li switched to a fluent Chicago accent.

Rodrigo couldn't tell the difference between Chicago and New York, but he could hear the difference between English and American, and his eyes lit up slightly, "What kind of accent is this?" In the European actor's education system, accent is one of the most basic courses, but Rodrigo always believes that it is never easy to figure out the accent really well, "I don't think this should be New York." ”

"Chicago. Lan Li replied with a smile, "If necessary, I can also imitate English with a Spanish accent." This is indeed one of the basic compulsory courses in the college, and Lan Li found it very interesting at first, and went to Cambridge University to exchange with professors in linguistics and study for a few months.

Rodrigo couldn't help but pause for a moment, only to feel full of question marks, "Why Chicago?"

"Heh, just a little speculation of my own. Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, in fact, the information left in the union is really limited, there is no direct clue to see where Paul's setting is from, I watched "buried alive" in the previous life, and the memory is a little blurred, and Lan Li can't remember whether it was mentioned in the movie, "Construction engineers, Iraqi business trips, middle class, I guess, Paul should be in the central region, and as a gathering place for construction companies, Chicago is undoubtedly the most likely." ”

After the actor gets the script, preparing a role is a very complicated and tedious process, from the accent to the dress, and even to the hairstyle and tattoos, these details are part of the role, and they are the part that the audience can't see but can feel, which is also the part that shows the actor's internal skills. Of course, if it's just a popcorn movie, or a chick movie, then the preparation mode is naturally different.

Rodrigo's brain seemed to be directly hit by a heavy punch, and he was a little stunned for a while, it was originally just a topic of small talk, but he didn't expect it, but it involved such a surprising back story, and even the lack of his understanding of the script. I have to say that he has changed his opinion of Lan Li a little.

"Interesting, very interesting. Rodrigo couldn't help but gently retract his chin, and his eyes showed a look full of interest, "So, what other interpretation do you have of Paul's character? If you haven't noticed, let me remind you that Paul is thirty-five years old, he is married, has two children, and has a stable job." ”

Rodrigo deliberately gave Lan Li a problem, and moved a big mountain in front of Lan Li straight to the point, he was a little curious about how Lan Li would respond. Unknowingly, Rodrigo himself didn't notice that his thoughts about Lan Li had quietly begun to change.

Lan Li spread his legs, supported his hands on his knees, leaned his upper body forward slightly, and faced Rodrigo with a golden knife, rugged and strong, the street atmosphere of the construction contractor was naturally revealed, "I personally think that we should divide the role of Paul into two parts. Or, to be more precise, there are two levels of performance.

"Buried alive" in the job posting left by the Screen Actors Guild of America, it is depicted as follows: an American construction contractor, working in Iraq, was hit by a bomb one day, fell unconscious, and woke up to find that he was trapped in a coffin and buried alive in the desert. He didn't understand what was going on and didn't know what to do, all he had was a knife, a cell phone and a lighter by his side.

"First, the normal reaction in a critical situation. Lan Li's eyes gradually became focused, he knew how difficult his situation was, he not only had to overcome the shackles of age to get this role, but also to defeat Ryan Reynolds, he had to do his best, "Any normal person, after waking up, found himself buried alive in a coffin, panic, fright, fear, struggle, anger, survival, these emotions are all the same." ”

Rodrigo raised his right hand to support his chin, his eyes gradually deepened, savoring Lan Li's words.

From the confusion after waking up, to the struggle of survival instincts/abilities, to the calmness of seeking opportunities, and finally to the intricacies of the trapped beasts, the emotional development curve is undoubtedly the core of the entire script, and it is also the driving force that attracts the audience to continue reading. Lan Li's thinking is very clear, and the words are advancing layer by layer to express his opinion, "But as I said, this is the common reaction of all ordinary people in crisis situations, if it is just that, 'buried alive' is just an ordinary thriller and suspense movie." ”

Lan Li is different from Ryan, not only the way of acting and the content of the performance are different, but he also has his own understanding of "buried alive", which also means that their excavation and expansion of the role are also different. If the audition is successful, he will interpret it in his own way and deduce his own "buried alive".

The "buried alive" in the previous life is actually a normal thriller movie, and Ryan interprets all the emotions trapped in the coffin very well. But as Lan Li said, this is the process and reaction that any ordinary person will go through, not only does it not have the personal characteristics of "Paul", and the part of Arun's character creation in "127 Hours" is missing, but it also does not have the personal characteristics of "buried alive", and it is reduced to an ordinary work - above the level, but it is difficult to break out of the encirclement.

Rodrigo knew that Lan Li's words were not finished, and there was a "second" behind him, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly. So far, Lan Li's "first" is in line with his expectations and settings, which can basically be said to be his understanding of the work "buried alive". But obviously, Lan Li's opinion is not over, and he has developed the characters and the script on another level.

Things are getting more and more interesting, and Rodrigo can't help but be a little curious.

Second, Paul's reaction to a crisis situation. Lan Li only paused for a moment, and then continued, "Here we can divide it into different parts to discuss, for example, Paul's personal attributes, when he is in a crisis situation, he thinks of his family, His wife, whether he is experiencing a midlife crisis, whether he is having any difficulties at work, how he relates with other colleagues and friends, these unique attributes will give Paul a different definition in a situation of extreme crisis, and this is the part that distinguishes Paul from ordinary people. ”

Another example is Paul's social attributes. What is his relationship with the company? What is his communication with the government? What is the difference between the company, the government, and the media in Paul's case, and whether Paul is a billionaire or an ordinary contractor? Is it a difference between Paul being a man or a woman? Is it a difference whether Paul is trapped in Iraq or in the United States?"

Lan Li's words made Rodrigo's eyebrows deeply entangled, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic, and a storm was set off in his mind.

"These sections are not only special to define Paul, but also key to defining the attributes of the whole film that is 'buried alive'. Lan Li made a final summary, and then, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he said confidently and calmly, "So I think age is actually the least important part. What do you think?"
