Penguin. Ant. Tumbler. Drunken. Crab.

It's really hard to describe David's footsteps in a simple adjective, and his indomitable persuasion is clumsy and cute, as well as a little paranoid and flustered. If you have to find an accurate answer, then "children" are the best choice – especially those who are learning to walk but are not yet fully on their feet.

Why?

It's as if a child sees his parents arguing, tries to stop it but doesn't know how to stop it, so he uses all his strength to feed, and stops between his parents, and then he can't stand on his feet at all, so he stumbles, and even the stupid shout, "friend", is exactly the same as a child;

All of them reveal a kind of naïve and cute gamble, obviously expressionless but can imagine the appearance of a child pouting in protest, those seemingly clumsy and childish actions, people can't help but laugh, but in the whole scene derives a kind of absurdity, instantly makes the atmosphere of the whole scene different.

But, that's not the end of it.

The man with the big tongue had returned to the bench and sat down, and his puffing appearance vividly showed that he was very dissatisfied now.

David's steps were a little slower, moving unhurriedly and in a step-by-step manner: step out with his left foot, join his right foot with his left foot, stand together, then step out with his left foot again, and bring his right foot together again...... Instead of walking in a normal cross-step manner, you move step by step, as if you are studying your own steps.

When he reached the bench, he sat down a little more naturally, but his hands were still on his knees, and he straightened his waist, and then adjusted his shoulders slightly, smoothing the folds of his suit and shirt as if he were preparing for a meeting.

However, his eyes stole a glance at the big-tongued man, and then returned to normal, and then at the lame man, and that wandering state of scrutiny once again revealed his nervousness and uneasiness, and unconsciously held his breath, lest his breath might break the existing peace.

David's face began to blush slightly because of the breath holding—his gaze was still quietly moving, but he refused to start breathing again, and then his cheeks became rosy little by little, visible to the naked eye.

The whole shooting set remained completely silent, and the atmosphere of silence was slowly spreading, and the shooting was not interrupted by Owels, and the performance did not stop.

"Cards!"

When the sound of Ogles stopping filming finally sounded, the first action of everyone on the set was to take a big breath, the sound of wheezing was particularly obvious, and some people even choked on their saliva and coughed violently because they were too anxious.

It turned out that he was not the only one who began to hold his breath because of Lan Li's performance, and the kind of tacit understanding that diffused made everyone gradually react, and then they couldn't help it anymore, and the audience burst into laughter.

The more you think about it, the funnier it gets!

John and Whisshaw's performances are very brilliant, showing the childish battle of wills, which complements the absurdity presented by the whole story, but the performances of both of them are far inferior to Lan Li, and all the scenes and highlights fall on Lan Li.

Although Lan Li only has one line, "friend", the grievances and helplessness in the voice are fully shown through body language, whether it is footsteps or movements, the black humor conveyed by those details not only shows the tone of the whole story, but also extends the innocence and woodenness of the character of David-

is the same as the previous performances, little by little, it pieced together the appearance of David who is ignorant of the world and has a childish heart, which has also become the only light in the entire black comedy.

In the midst of the laughter of the audience, even Ogles couldn't help but laugh.

John and Whishaw, who had lifted the seal on the show, also laughed, "God, you're going to kill me!" John grumbled speechlessly, still unable to believe that Lan Li's performance was so successful and so unique, "You're a natural comedian." ”

"No, the real comedic genius is Buster Keaton. Lan Li shook his head and said sincerely.

"Keaton?" Whisshaw was surprised.

Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "I got some inspiration from watching the movie last night, in fact, Buster Keaton's seemingly expressionless performances show a variety of emotional levels through body language, the speed of footsteps, body posture, rhythm pauses, etc., these are all direct signals, I think, maybe you can try to give the characters more emotions in the performance, and then, there is today's performance." ”

There was a soft sigh all around: it turned out to be Buster Keaton's inspiration.

John waved his hand repeatedly, "Wait, don't be deceived by this guy." Ben and I also watched the movie yesterday, and of course, we were also inspired, but we couldn't fit into the performance like he did. What really matters is that Lan Li is still a genius, otherwise wouldn't everyone watching Keaton become a comedy legend?"

"Oh!" everyone suddenly realized, in the final analysis, it was still Lan Li who was powerful.

This time, Lan Li didn't refuse, just spread his hands, "Yes, I'm a genius." "The appearance of lovelessness, with the action of spreading hands, the comedic effect comes out again.

"Lan Li, how did you accomplish your performance just now?" After a moment's hesitation, Whishaw asked sincerely, "I mean, hand movements and foot movements, I always feel that the expression is not in place, you know, this should have been my crutch. ”

"Your performance was outstanding. Lan Li also said sincerely, "You are very correct in the use of lameness, I don't think you need any guidance." However, we can communicate that my movements are actually very simple, which is to make all the movements stiff and trivial at a glance. ”

While there is no such categorization in performance – at least not in professional performances – it does exist as a classification of facial expressions and body language.

British theater actors have a lot of body language, because all of these movements are complementary to their lines, but American actors are relatively weak in this area, the most representative is Meryl Streep, the top actor in history, her expressions and lines are unquestionable, even if you don't like it, you have to admire her handling of details to give the role too many possibilities, but her body language is very clumsy.

Looking closely at Meryl's film works, her hands and feet are often lifeless, and most of her movements seem stiff and awkward, especially at the moment of emotional outburst, her body movements become wooden and clumsy, unable to further extend the emotions of the characters, and her movements and expressions are often easily separated, at least the movements cannot give more emotional support to the expressions.

Of course, Meryl can't be blamed for this, on the one hand, because of her talent, some people are naturally good at body movements, and on the other hand, because of the shackles caused by media such as film and television, unlike the theater stage, film and television tend to use close-ups or close-ups to show clearer changes in expression in order to complete the communication with the audience, and over time, body language outside the camera is not taken seriously.

It can be said that this is related to the development of the times.

This is why British actors have to return to the theatre stage on a regular basis, and those physical performance training plays an important role in the whole performance.

As an Englishman, Whishaw's body language is also of sufficient level, but he is still trying to keep learning, because he, like Lan Li, believes that body movement is also an integral part of the whole performance.

That's what happened at this point.

Physical performance is skillful, such as deliberately straightening the knee, which can make the walking posture become clumsy, and the pace presented by bending and not bending will change subtly;

In the performance, Lan Li consciously restrained his movements, even his thumb was firmly attached to the palm of his hand, and then the whole shoulder line was exerted, creating a hunchback effect - but not timid or fearful, but clumsy, like an ostrich, dodging danger, and having to face danger at the same time, and then he had to stuff his head into the sand;

Of course, the finishing touch is the eyes, the kind of eyes that stare at the ground, complete the whole show. In the process of persuasion, David can even blink quickly because he is scared, and his facial features are distorted by fright - these details may not be visible in the chaos, the audience will still be robbed of all eyes by body language, and there are two people who are scuffling, but the details are the best way to make the performance complete.

Whishaw is missing these details, taking full advantage of the bulkiness created by the character's lameness, but failing to find the right chemistry in the details of upper body movements and the expressiveness of his hands, which is why the character is robbed of his light - perhaps because he lacks a little inspiration for his understanding of body movements, or because he lacks a little depth of study of the character's character context.

A truly advanced performance can tell the audience why he walks so much, why he sits so much...... Every move can be found in the context, and the director's lens can keenly capture these details, and present them without a trace, and at the same time, the actor can also be seamlessly integrated into it, without the slightest clue to the carving, that is, perfect-

But it is really too difficult and difficult to perform like this, and even Lan Li himself is still exploring, which is why he needs to study tirelessly.
