For Lan Li, the father figure is unfamiliar.

In two lives, he has always lacked a father template worthy of reference, and even the majestic and stereotyped, distant and wooden impressions in his memory are slightly blurred, but the image of Mr. Dunlop or Mr. Hamilton is more vivid and vivid, but it only leaves some fragments in his mind, which cannot be pieced together.

Now, in "Interstellar", Lan Li must play a father, a kind and warm father, and the bond between father and child is still the core thread of the whole movie, which is definitely a special challenge for Lan Li's career as an actor.

Since the "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", Lan Li has experienced a variety of characters, although many stories and scenes have not been experienced in person, such as war, such as being buried alive...... And so on, but the emotions hidden behind those characters and experiences are real and clear, all of which can be truly felt, at least simulated, not to mention works such as "Me Against Cancer" and "Drunken Country Folk", those experiences are almost a true portrayal of Lan Li's personal memories, and the texture and touch of the interpretation process are unique.

It is precisely because of this that Lan Li's research and exploration at the level of methodological acting skills, he truly experienced the madness and wanton life of the mad demon, and then completed the transformation and progress of the performance, which made the current "Lan Li-Hall".

But the story and characters of "Interstellar" are completely new, not only because Lan Li is still not a father, but also because Lan Li can't find the corresponding father in his own experience, and even the corresponding emotions and emotions have become blurred, which undoubtedly creates more difficulties and frustrations for the performance.

It's like building a mirage, even if it looks beautiful on the outside, it's still a foundationless castle in the air, and the final performance lacks a little sincerity.

However, the current Lan Li is no longer the newcomer who just started acting back then, even compared to the "Burst Drummer", he has been truly reborn. From the expressionist to the methodological school and back to the expressive school, the transformation and precipitation of acting skills are no longer the same, and the understanding and perception of performance are also completely different.

Lan Li will no longer be simply limited to his own experience, but from a purely emotional point of view, through what he sees and hears to construct the entire world system, the books he reads, the movies he watches, the stories he listens to, the experience of feeling, the news he browses, etc., can all become a source, extending from himself to others, and finally forming a universe, drawing inspiration from his own performance.

Thus, this brings us back to one of the fundamental differences between methodism and expressionism:

The methodists emphasized that they were in the role, and even did not hesitate to experience it in order to fit into the role, just like Lan Li lay in a coffin for eight hours during the filming of "buried alive". Therefore, every performance consumes countless energy of the actor, who is immersed in a role and cannot extricate himself, and even loses himself in the end.

Expressionism emphasizes the interpretation of one's own role, distinguishing the stage from life, presenting the same actor's interpretation of different roles, different experiences and different emotions. Naturally, an actor can truly reach the pinnacle of a thousand faces, switching between different roles with ease.

In other words, even without an immersive character experience, Lan Li is still able to complete the performance, and he can go one step further than when he was a fledgling in London's West End, using methodological interpretations to interpret expressionist emotions and improve the quality of his performance.

Therefore, the corner of Cooper in "Interstellar" is not a problem for Lan Li at all.

Even if there is no reference object, but quietly, he still grasped the family atmosphere and parent-child relationship, interpreted it in his own way, and lightly controlled the overall situation firmly in the palm of his hand, this ability is absolutely extraordinary, and it can be seen from the side that Lan Li's performance ability has made a qualitative leap.

Just now, the whole shooting looked relaxed and natural, and there was no trace of performance, and it was completely the morning routine of an ordinary family. This is what Lan Li is doing now.

Because of his nervousness and apprehension, Timothy accidentally made eye contact with the camera during the smooth shooting, just like Lan Li filmed the first shot of the "Pacific War". Generally speaking, unless it is a special work such as "The Big Short" and "Deadpool" that breaks the dimensional wall and directly dialogues with the audience, looking directly at the camera is a game-breaker, and you have to start all over again.

If it were other crews or other characters, Lan Li would inevitably talk to Timothy about his original experience to ease the atmosphere and relieve pressure, but now Lan Li is Timothy's "father", even if father and son get along like friends, some words and things are still different after all, so Lan Li did not take the initiative to mention this matter, but handled it in a different way.

"Don't worry about the camera, you need to look at your sister. It's okay to stay focused, remember? You're making a fuss right now, naughty one. Lan Li's tone was reproachful but not harsh, and the gentle tone made a small joke, "Naughty Ghost" was actually McKenzie's next line, and now Lan Li had inserted the line on Timothy, and the staff all chuckled in understanding.

Following the atmosphere of the scene, Lan Li refocused his attention, "Or is it that you haven't fully woken up yet, and you need to go out for a run and wake up?"

Although Lan Li and Jessica mentioned in their discussion that this performance needs to be subtracted, the basic character construction and background concept still need to be in place.

Cooper is a former pilot with professional and systematic military training. After an accidental flight accident, Cooper voluntarily applied for retirement and became a professional farmer because he blamed himself too much, and that nightmare still haunts Cooper to this day, and he still wakes up easily in the dead of night - he is still too affectionate after all, and the accident caused the death of his teammates, and he has never been able to let go.

Because of this, Cooper and his children get along more militarized. Although Cooper did not carry over the management of the barracks to his family life, he still retained the warmth and ease of belonging to the family, but he always maintained strict requirements in the details of life, hoping that things would be in order, and maintaining the habit of training every day, and also asking Tom and Murphy to participate.

During the rebellious period, Tom showed strong resistance, and in order to express his dissatisfaction and protest, he often deliberately addressed his father as "Sir" - which can also be understood as "sir", in order to emphasize the emotions of teenagers.

Lan Li's words continued, consciously or unconsciously, this habit was perpetuated, and the real situation of the Cooper family was quietly created. The boundaries between drama and life are truly blurred, which is an important help for the two young actors to enter the play.

Timothy was annoyed, and then he felt the color in Lan Li's words, he coughed lightly twice, and then straightened his waist and re-put it on, "I'm ready! I'm awake! I'm ready now! I'm sorry, I just made a mistake, let's do it all over again, I promise not to do it again." ”

It's hard to tell whether it's Timothy or Tom at this moment. But what is certain is that young actors are more often acting in their true colors, and it is difficult for them themselves to accurately distinguish the difference between the role and themselves, but in the process of acting, they can often naturally integrate into the emotions and make the whole performance complete, and now Timothy is gradually entering the state.

Very few people on the whole set can perceive, Jessica and Annie are just a handful, as for Christopher, he just needs a feeling, in line with the feeling of the scene and the whole movie, and that's enough, without casually pointing fingers at the actors' performances, after all, this is not his forte.

At this time, Christopher saw this, and simply waved his hand to the scene reporter, and then put himself into shooting again.

……

"Daddy, can you fix it?" Murphy shifted his gaze from his grandfather to his father, slightly confused.

Cooper paused what he was doing, turned around and walked over with a cup of coffee, his eyes showing a touch of helplessness, and said with a slight surprise, "What did you do to my landing module?"

"It's not me!" Murphy immediately defended urgently.

Tom, who was sitting across from him, immediately complained mischievously, "Let me guess, it's your ghost?"

Murphy didn't mean to joke at all, frowned, and explained earnestly, "It shook it off the shelf, and so did a number of books. ”

"There's no such thing as a ghost!" Tom leaned his upper body against the table, lifted his chin slightly, and made a sinister grimace to complain.

"Hey!" Cooper stopped Tom with a loud voice: foul language was not allowed, and it was such a nasty foul language.

Murphy was immersed in arguing with Tom, "I looked up the dictionary, and it should be called a mischievous." ”

Tom shook his head slightly, lowered his head to eat his breakfast, and said helplessly and speechlessly, "Dad, tell her." ”

Cooper was carefully examining the broken landing module, and instead of speaking immediately, he wondered: it really didn't look like Murphy had broken it himself, but was it really broken?

After a half-beat pause, Cooper did Tom's request and said to his daughter, "That's not very scientific. Murphy. ”

But Murphy was unwilling to compromise, "You said that science is about acknowledging that there are unknowns. ”

Donald, who was busy, raised his eyebrows, "She's stumped you." ”

After Cooper checked the landing module, he finally chose to give up, without further thought, and simply said, "Hey, don't toss our stuff anymore." "Obviously, it's not the first time Murphy has broken things.

With that, Cooper turned around, picked up his coffee again, and prepared to leave.

But Donald called out to his son-in-law, "Cooper." He shook his head slightly, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
