Chapter 814: The Level of the Ten Evils
"What are the ten evils?" When Liu Shishi heard this strange word, she felt that Nolan was fooling her with concepts......
"The Ten Evils is a classification of villains in our directorial industry, which divides the villainity of the characters into four levels," Nolan said patiently:
"Every time you move up the level, the difficulty of playing is higher, for example, the first layer of "bad guys who want to be good people" is the simplest, which is the character of Matt Damon in "No Simple", a gangster who works undercover in the police force...... In fact, it is the acting method of an ordinary kind protagonist. [Full text reading]
And the second layer of "good and bad guys for children" is also very simple, typical of Crete Eastwood in "Perfect World", a vicious criminal kidnaps a child, but treats the child like a father......"
Although she knew that Nolan was deliberately changing the topic to calm her down, Liu Shishi still felt novel when she heard this concept, and she was no longer impulsive to beat Bell, but wanted to know the specific concept of this "ten evils", so she asked:
"And what else?"
Nolan saw that she had calmed down, and knew that this matter would finally not make a big fuss, so he continued to explain with a smile:
The next third layer of evil is also very old-fashioned, that is, "doing evil for the benefit of the family", you should know Al Pacino in "The Godfather 2", this type is it...... However, the first three layers are actually relatively easy to play, mainly reflecting the bright side of human nature, and when it comes to the fourth layer of 'evil' "For money, relatives can be killed" began to be more difficult to play......
Robert Carlisle in "Trainspotting" is at this level, and his acting is very frenzied, completely beyond the scope of ordinary actors, and the fifth layer of "evil" is called "the evil of pleasure pursuit", which is even more vicious......
Before Nolan finished speaking, Liu Shishi said: "Is it that the evil policeman played by Gary Oldman in "This Killer is Not Too Cold" has reached the fifth level of evil? "This movie is one of Liu Shishi's favorite movies.
"That's right~ Miss Liu is really smart." Nolan smiled approvingly:
"The sixth layer of 'evil' in the next one is similar to the previous one, called 'The Evil of Youth Restlessness', for example, Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange" played by the bad youth, and I think there should be no more than ten male actors in the world to play this role......"
"There are no more than ten 'evil' at the sixth level? Then there are still 4 levels left, aren't there few people who can play them? You directors aren't all in a hurry. Liu Shishi couldn't help laughing when she heard Nolan's exaggeration.
"Aren't you dying?" Nolan sighed, looked at Liu Shishi and said:
"The seventh layer of 'Evil of Chaos' is represented by Javier Bardem in 'No Country for Old Men', the eighth layer of 'Evil of Faith' is Kevin Spacey in 'The Seven Deadly Sins', and the ninth layer of 'Evil Becomes a Physiological Need' is Anthony Hopkins in 'The Silence of the Lambs...... If you look at these characters, do you think other people can play them? ”
Liu Shishi was stunned when she listened, every time Nolan pronounced the names of a work and an actor, her heart couldn't help but chuckle, these roles are too classic, so classic that they can't be surpassed, let alone replaced......
At this time, Liu Shishi couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaofan, and said in surprise, Nolan said that Gu Xiaofan had just reached the tenth layer of evil, that is, Gu Xiaofan had just surpassed Javier Bardem, Kevin Spacey, Anthony Hopkins and other top actors...... This...... Is it possible?
Nolan looked at Gu Xiaofan at this time, his eyes were full of excitement: "The tenth layer of evil ...... 'I am evil'...... It's the first time I've seen someone perform this feeling, and the previous clown 'Oscar King' Jack Nelson was almost meaningless, but I didn't expect Director Gu to really be able to do it. ”
But just when Nolan was ecstatic in his heart, he suddenly heard a voice "No, he can't act like this." ”
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Bell who spoke.
"What do you say? Are you jealous that Gu Xiaofan acted better than you!? Liu Shishi saw that this stinky Batman spoke out again, and suddenly became angry.
Bell looked at Gu Xiaofan at this time: "He should understand what I'm talking about." ”
At this time, Nolan and Liu Shishi both looked at Gu Xiaofan in unison, but found that he was bowing his head and pondering, as if he hadn't listened to the conversation between them just now, he was taking advantage of this time to review the performance just now......
Good concentration...... He was still capturing the state of the performance just now, and Nolan secretly praised in his heart.
"Don't waste your strength, you can't keep the state you were in just now, it's just a flash of inspiration......" Bell snapped his fingers in front of Gu Xiaofan, awakening his mind.
"You interrupted him!" Liu Shishi glared at him angrily.
"Oh...... Sister Shi, don't be impulsive...... Bell was right. Gu Xiaofan came to his senses, and also waved his hand to stop Liu Shishi, and said in a low voice:
"I just clearly felt that my heart was too excited, as if it was burning my soul, my heart was beating faster, and I was completely in a state of loss of control, which I could keep in this state at first, but after a long time, I was afraid that if I took a few shots, this state of loss of control would calm down and become proficient, smooth and ......"
"Isn't it smooth or not?" Liu Shishi was a little puzzled.
"Fluidity means calmness, and now it needs to be his boiling and out of control." Nolan understood what Gu Xiaofan was saying.
It's like a character who can occasionally perform a wonderful and heart-rending crying scene, but it is absolutely impossible for him to let the character say lines and act in this kind of crumbling crying scene at any time.
But the clown is such an extreme character, he burns the world with evil thoughts all the time......
"Nolan, you give me a week, can I find the state?" Gu Xiaofan thought for a while, if he could reach this state, there should be no problem with the Oscars, the problem was how to keep it.
As long as he can find a way to maintain his state, he will achieve this immortal role, just thinking about it, Gu Xiaofan is already a little impatient.
"Okay, you don't have to rehearse for a week." Nolan thought about it and agreed to Gu Xiaofan's request, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take your time, don't worry, I can wait for you ......"
When Bell heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he stopped talking.
After the rehearsal ended in the afternoon, Gu Xiaofan stayed directly in a room in Warner's studio, he asked the makeup artist to put on clown makeup for him, except for eating and going to the toilet, he was ready to stay alone in a dark claustrophobic room to experience the pure evil character of the clown.
At night, Gu Xiaofan had just put on the clown's makeup and was about to enter the room, but he saw Bell at the door
