In 1975, legendary actor Lawrence Oliver and up-and-coming actor Dustin Hoffman collaborated on a movie called "Breaking Diamond".

In the play, Dustin Hoffman's character has a scene where he has to show an extremely decadent appearance. He decided to start staying up late, and through this method of not sleeping for a long time, he showed his decadent face more realistically.

You must know that this year's Dustin Hoffman has just been crowned an Oscar winner with "The Biography of Leney"!

This awe-inspiring professionalism was admired by everyone on the set.

However, Lawrence Oliver scoffed, with an unspeakable mockery on his face, and unceremoniously sarcastic: "Can't you just act directly?

At the moment, the atmosphere on the set became very awkward.

Lawrence Oliver is an "experiential" actor who starts from the self, from the inside out. As the so-called relationship is born from the heart, when you truly understand and feel the decadence in your heart, you will naturally start from yourself and become a character.

This kind of performance will be very real, so that the actor's performance can reach a sense of reality that is close to life and close to the subconscious.

And Dustin Hoffman, as an "expressionist" actor, is another mode of acting. Emphasis is placed on starting from the role, from the outside to the inside. The emphasis is on the "character image", through the imitation of appearance, movements, etc., to complete the inner interpretation.

Therefore, when expressing decadence, Dustin Hoffman chose to stay up late to make his appearance objectively show the "decadent" side, so as to drive the character's heart.

To put it bluntly, it is the replacement exchange of emotions!

There is not much difference between the decadence when he is sad and the decadence when he is tired, and the performance can be replaced; the straight man performs the play of falling in love with a man, which can be replaced by the emotion of falling in love with a woman to express his love; and the crying scene of crying with joy may be the tears that he sheds when he is fantasizing about a certain heartbroken grief experience......

Because of the simplicity of the model, the evidence-based and the stylized acting, the methodology became popular in Hollywood.

Especially in "The Godfather", Marlon Brando interprets the image of the godfather vividly and vividly through a series of technical designs such as holding dates in his mouth and holding a cat in his arms, and has become an unsurpassed classic in film history.

The Methodists also relied on the classic image of Marlon Brando's "godfather" to cause a huge sensation in the industry, and they had the qualifications to compete with the experiential school created by the orthodox Stanislavsky performance system.

Several different ways of performing are also the subject of debate in the performing arts to this day, and many art schools have a clear value orientation.

The mainstream film school still teaches the Russian playwright Stanislavsky, relying on "really listening, watching and feeling", to meet the high standards of the experiential school, and there is a supreme textbook, "The Self-cultivation of Actors";

Most of the French art academies advocate the expressionist performance model proposed by the French playwright and philosopher Diderot.

There are also counterculture film models, represented by the New York University School of the Arts, which teach the methodology refined by the American educator Strasberg. And this kind of conceptual non-mainstream is the mainstream of Hollywood's performance methods, which is somewhat ridiculous.

In front of so many people, of course, Don couldn't talk nonsense.

Now Hollywood's experiential circles include Katharine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Al Pacino, Daniel Lewis and other great gods, and the French circles include Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and others.

Each of these forces is incomparably powerful, and as Don En, he must not openly reveal any views that are demeaning to one side.

Faced with such a sharp question, Tang En smiled slightly and said slowly: "In fact, in my opinion, whether it is an experiential school or a method school, as long as you can play the role vividly, you can do it, there is no good or bad method, it all depends on the actor's personal ability." For example, there is no good or evil gun, the key is who is using it. ”

"At the beginning, Mr. Oliver did laugh at Mr. Hoffman, but don't forget, Mr. Oliver is a full thirty years older than Mr. Hoffman! Thirty years of life experience and performance experience, this has gone far beyond the scope of method and experience performance, after going through the world and reading a thousand sails, the method is experience, and experience has become the method. ”

"Of course, I haven't studied acting systematically, it's all a family. In my opinion, in the final analysis, acting is a process of accumulation of experience and hard work. If you work hard and struggle, the achievements that should belong to you will naturally come. I believe that the goddess of fate will favor every sweater, including me, and naturally you!"

After a short silence, Don burst into applause.

……

When Don finally freed himself from the encirclement, he found Cameron still sitting in the director's chair, watching the footage of the shooting site repeatedly.

There was no intention of welcoming Don at all.

"James, the schedule is tight, but you also need to pay attention to rest. ”

Hearing Donne's voice, Cameron raised his head, casually said "um", suddenly thought of something, waved his hand, and drove everyone around him away, before lowering his voice and asking vigilantly: "Have you messed with Disney again?"

Don smiled: "It's just a small thing, it's Disney's new movie, and the box office has been crushed by "Spider-Man" again." ”

Cameron frowned and said in a deep voice, "No! there must be something going on, I heard...... Disney is very angry and has issued the most severe ban order on you!"

"What?

Tang En was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard.

He's not an actor, ban a fart!

And with Donne's current achievements, in addition to making movies for his own family, can other film companies invite him?

Seeing that Don En didn't think so, and even looked sarcastic, Cameron said with a straight face: "Don En, now the matter is very serious, I have been notified!"

"What?"

Don was confused, and he really didn't know what he was talking about.

Cameron said in a solemn tone: "I have been notified, if I continue to choose to cooperate with you, then there will be no chance of cooperating with Disney in the future!"

Don frowned, realizing the gravity of the matter.

James Cameron received such a notice, doesn't that mean that many others have also received such threatening warnings?

It's like you and me!

Disney is releasing a killer feature!

"When?" Donn's voice was much more solemn.

Cameron's face is not very good-looking, after all, he and Don are grasshoppers on the same line now, "I just received a notice from the brokerage company in the morning, listen to my agent's tone, this matter is ...... It seems to be quite a big fuss. ”

Don didn't hesitate, and immediately made a phone call to the company, asking Bill McNick, "What the hell is going on?"

Bill McNick's voice was extremely serious, "Michael Eisner did it!" He issued the strongest ban order to Disney, ordering all Disney's properties not to report or distribute any films, TV series and related products produced by Down Pictures. ”

Tang En snorted coldly, "It's just an old trick, Disney can't dominate the American media system!"

Bill McNick said: "But there's another thing, it's very serious. Disney has issued notices to all five major brokerage companies that from today onwards, all actors, directors, and producers who have cooperated with Down Pictures in the film will not become Disney's partners. ”

Even though Donn was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Michael Eisner's cold, aggressive methods.

Disney...... It's a magnifying move!

Cooperating with Don Pictures means losing the possibility of cooperating with Disney.

This is no longer a matter of tearing the skin, but a complete upright flipping of the table!

Either/or, with you without me!

Disney, ruthless!

Michael Eisner, iron-fisted, strong, and ruthless!

This move really has a bit of the domineering and majesty of the ancient kings.

"How's the company doing?"

"Everything is normal, this news has not spread, and only a small number of people in the circle know about it. This is a clear bullying of the small, and in order to take care of the reputation, Disney should not make a big splash. ”

Don muttered, "Is there a countermeasure?"

Bill McNick said: "The PR department is in talks with Disney, and I'm going to meet with the CEOs of Warner, Universal, and Columbia to talk about it, Disney...... This is destroying the current good situation in the film market. ”

Disney's move not only breaks the rules of Hollywood, but also breaks the concept of fair competition in the market.

In recent years, Hollywood's market growth has been very healthy, and major film companies are definitely not willing to sit back and watch Disney fool around and destroy the current good situation.

The corners of Tang En's mouth crossed a little indifference, and a resolute look flashed on his face, "Cancel all measures and wait and see what happens!"

Bill McNick exclaimed, "Donne!"

"Bill, listen to me!"

Don immediately interrupted him, and in his decisive tone, there was also a bit of mockery, "Michael Eisner has been emperor for too long, thinking that everyone will get used to him and dream!

"Don, this matter is not trivial, once it is a big ...... It's not good for anyone, and I think it's better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible. "Bill McNick had worked under Michael Eisner and knew the means and energy of the Disney monarch well.

Tang En said without doubt: "I have already decided that Tang En Pictures will not take any defensive measures against this matter! Everything will be dealt with after I go back!"

Hanging up the phone, James Cameron looked at Don in a daze, his eyes were full of stars, and he was a little confused, "Don, what did you do? No, you must have done a lot of things to annoy Michael Eisner!"

Don was in a bad mood, and waved his hand angrily, "I've never done anything excessive!" Oh yes, at most, he called me twice, I pretended not to know, and hung up as a harassing call. ”

"Huh?"

Cameron lost his voice and shouted, stunned!
