Jessica immediately understood what Lan Li meant, maybe she was not a talented actor, but her diligence and understanding were beyond doubt, in just a short conversation, she was able to combine Lan Li's ideas with her own understanding, however, this was different from her own understanding, she did not choose to blindly agree with Lan Li because the object of her remarks was Lan Li, but thought about it seriously.

"So, why?" Jessica frowned, "Why is Cooper and Murphy's bond so deep?"

"Because they are father and daughter. Lan Li said neatly, although she had just explained a lot, Jessica still went around it, which is not unusual, it can't be said to be a drill, but everyone's point of view has its own shackles, and in the process of communication, it is necessary to break this closed cycle in order to dig out something new.

Jessica shook her head, as if shaking off the flies around her, "I know, I know. You mean, we should remove this part. But...... Doesn't the audience wonder why Cooper had to come back, just because he's a father? ”

"The point is that the film is about Cooper's longing to go home, not why, what he needs to awaken is the inner longing for the warmth of home. Lan Li replied seamlessly.

Jessica shook her head repeatedly, and even raised her right hand, swaying in sync to further strengthen her meaning.

"You don't understand what I mean, I mean, if you just stop there, that's fine, but if you can go a little further and explain the why, and interpret the bonds between the characters, then the quality of the finished product will be further improved, and the sensory experience for the audience will be different. It's like 'Gravity', which was originally just a masterpiece, but it became a masterpiece because of your performance and interpretation. ”

"Thank you. In the midst of the heated argument, Lan Li still had the heart to express his gratitude, Jessica couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and Timothy, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but chuckle, Lan Li continued without a pause, "But the image styles of 'gravity' and 'interstellar' are completely different. ”

"First, 'Gravity' focuses all the shots on Ryan Stone alone, and his performance must dig out more things, otherwise the film will not be able to match the majestic image style, but will be too thin; ”

Before Lan Li's words were finished, Jessica tried to interrupt and cut to her own words - she is also an actor with a tough and outgoing personality, and it is absolutely impossible to be persuaded easily, which is also her acting style, "But...... But actors can't lower their demands like this......"

Lan Li was not disturbed in the slightest, and cut off Jessica's words again, and continued.

"Second, Alfonso Cuarón and Christopher Nolan are two directors with very different styles, although Alfonso's shots are known for their grandeur, but the camera shifts mainly to the characters, while Chris's shots are mainly scene-based, and the characters are only part of the composition. Have you ever thought about it, if your performance is too detailed, too cumbersome, and too emotional, can the camera capture it?"

Not only can it not, but it may become a burden to the picture. It's like a blank piece of paper, suddenly with more creases or scratches, which don't seem to spoil the overall feeling on the surface, but still reveal a faint sense of discomfort after all.

Jessica opened her mouth and tried to retort again, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped, and then began to think seriously.

It is true that every actor has his or her own style and characteristics, even the vase, but at the end of the day, the actor is still part of the film, and he or she needs to be a pawn in the director's hands, giving the actor more room to play as much as Alfonso did, or cutting out as much of the actor's extra branches as Christopher did, but whatever the method, the result is to make the film more complete.

Different means to the same end.

This is a sign that Lan Li is gradually maturing. He is still the actor who is self-centered, willing to sacrifice his life for the role and performance, but if necessary, he can also sacrifice his own light for the sake of the film as a whole, and make the film complete. is no longer immersed in your own world in order to study acting skills and improve acting skills.

From this point of view, the transformation and progress of "Burst Drummer" is far more than imagined.

Timothy, who was sitting next to him, always wanted to join the topic, but after all, he was still a little timid and shy, and he wanted to speak several times, but he still couldn't speak, and now after suddenly falling into silence, Timothy took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and finally spoke, "Lan Li, what do you mean...... Ahem, I mean, do you mean that we only need to show the affection part, and leave the cause and story to the audience to figure out for themselves?"

Jessica was still pondering, but she shook her head lightly and replied in place of Lan Li, "No, Lan Li means that don't even leave those blanks. After a pause, Jessica raised her head to look at Lan Li, and said with some urgency:

"I can understand that the core idea of the film is the relationship between time and emotion. In other words, time is the purest thing, and emotions need to be kept in the most primitive state:

Affection, affection without any strings attached, allows the viewer to focus all their attention on thinking about this one philosophical question without being distracted by other issues, right?"

"Yes. Lan Li gave the answer without hesitation, Jessica is really an excellent actor, and her ability to understand the role and the script is admirable.

For Lan Li, it was the result of his repeated thinking over and over the past two months, but for Jessica, it was the result of a short conversation, and if she hadn't had a deep enough understanding of the script and thought deeply, she wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

Lan Li then added, "What we need to pay attention to is that after the time folding of the wormhole, for Cooper, he still misses Murphy, and he gradually begins to realize that he may not be able to go back, and this sadness and pain come from this, and for Murphy at the same time, she has experienced the vicissitudes of life, from a little girl to a woman, is the miss for her father weakened by the passage of time?"

That alone is enough for the audience to chew on, not to mention that the contrast between Tom and Murphy further deepens this thinking. But if the film further explores the causes of bonding, the rhythm and the picture will lose their original purity. Chris wants to discuss time, not emotion. After going around in circles, Lan Li still returned to the original words, and the similar content now tasted different.

Jessica didn't continue to speak, still pondering.

Lan Li didn't bother Jessica, but turned to look at Timothy and then at McKenzie, "Regarding our performance, I think you can think about how you get along with your father, and those details in the script can give you inspiration for your performance, and build the details of your relationship with your father, and then we can have a good conversation." ”

"It's like Murphy, what you and your father have in common is your love of science, and you want to talk about astronomy and geography a lot, but what else about that? how do you get along with your father? What habits do you have? You can find material in your own life, and you can also find inspiration in scripts. ”

"And Tom, in the rebellious period of formal adolescence at the age of fifteen, what do you think about your father? Like or dislike? You don't need to think too deeply, you can completely interpret it according to the real emotions in real life, and simply construct the mode of getting along and the psychology of teenagers, and that's it. ”

First McKenzie, then Timothy, Lan Li simply expressed his thoughts, his discussion with Jessica was a bit cumbersome, he didn't want the two young people to confuse his own ideas, and after the official start of filming, he became confused.

Timothy nodded in quick realization, "I see what you mean, we just need to express the conventional image of family that people remember, and that's it." This is an ordinary family, they love each other deeply, but they also have their own contradictions. Those contradictions don't matter, the important thing is that at the end of the story, they still love each other's family, right?"

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded in affirmation, "Yes, that's it." ”

Jessica's brows are still slightly locked, she has understood the meaning of Lan Li, but she is not a personality that everyone else has, she still needs to figure it out by herself, if necessary, she also needs to communicate with Christopher, and have a further self-understanding of the role and performance.

Lan Li's idea is Lan Li's idea after all, and Jessica's idea is Jessica's idea, they are two independent individuals, and the way they perform is naturally different.

However, for the time being, the controversy can be put aside, Jessica feels that she does have a different opinion on the script and the story, and at the same time, she also has a new idea of acting and directing, she looked at Lan Li again with a smile, "In this case, are you sure you are not lazy? Why do I feel a little lost? I should strive for more pay!"

If the content and power of the performance are weakened and returned to simplicity, things will become much easier for an actor of Lan Li's level, and it is indeed lazy.

Lan Li didn't argue, but sketched a shallow smile and said calmly, "Isn't the previous effort just for the comfort of the future?"
