"To be able to express a superhero in a very small space, as far as I know, there is only one way, and that is the internal and external differences to compare the personality method." Li Xiaole looked at the confused Tom Cruise and Stallone and said slowly:

"The spatial performance of lines and plot is not enough, so you use the limited space, and use each shot to show a personality with strong contrast between internal and external differences, so that the two personalities who are completely different from each other on the surface and inside can be expressed anytime and anywhere, so that the characters are not only limited to the limitations of the plot and lines."

"Differences between inside and outside vs. personality? Are you saying that I directly express the characters with completely different qualities from the inside and outside, the contrast they show? Tom Cruise seemed to understand something, but at the same time he felt very embarrassed.

The so-called internal and external differences contrast personality is a very advanced form of performance, which requires the actor to have a completely opposite quality in his heart that is completely opposite to the character itself.

This contrast will greatly enhance the vividness of the characters, such as a college teacher who is sanctimonious but thinks about how to trick a female student into bed, or a kind cleaner who thinks about how to kill his boss at night.

In movies, usually this difference between internal and external contrasts between personality and personality is created into classic villains, the most famous is the classic movie "The Silence of the Lambs" released in 1991, actor Anthony Hopkins played the role of "the most terrifying psychopathic killer in history" by countless film critics.

In the whole movie, Anthony Hopkins only has 21 minutes of footage, and there is no body language, the only action he does is to stand or sit, but he compares his personality through the difference between inside and outside, just relying on his eyes and speaking demeanor to reflect Hannibal, a cannibal, but the intelligent and personable psychology professor, his internal and external different two-sided personality is vividly expressed.

In "The Dark Knight" released in 08, Heath Ledger created the eternal villain "Joker", whose funny appearance and inner dark temperament are also a classic case of internal and external differences in personality.

The biggest problem is that this is extremely demanding for the actors themselves, actors are equivalent to integrating two completely different qualities into a role at the same time, and ordinary actors are basically only used to showing one character trait, and there are very few who can play haode with a single trait, not to mention those who can express both qualities into three points, so this way, only those actors with a wide range of talents and excellent talent can grasp it.

Can Tom Cruise have this ability? This is still an unknown.

And the more important one is that although the contrast between inside and outside contrasts with personality is a very classic and effective way to shape characters, what makes Tom Cruise and Stallone wonder is that there has never been a precedent in film history for an actor who plays a superhero to use this method? How does this manifest? You can't be sanctimonious on the surface, but you're actually full of evil inside...... (This is the route that Spider-Man 3 took later)

"How do you show the inside and outside gap of Tony Stark?" Tom Cruise thought about it for a long time, but still had no answer, so he could only ask Li Xiaole directly with some discouragement.

"It's actually quite simple." Li Xiaole looked at the two and explained: "Tony Stark is a playboy and an omnipotent superhero on the surface, but in fact he is a complete loser on the inside......"

"Loser?" Tom Cruise and Stallone were stunned when they heard this, and they glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

These two superstar actors have played countless "hero" roles since they entered the industry, whether it is a boxer in "Rocky", a special forces in "First Blood", a pilot in "Top Gun", and a series of agents in "Mission Impossible" will be the ultimate victor, which is also the definition of "hero".

Superheroes are even more so, how can they perform from the perspective of a "loser"?

"Tom you've always played a victor, a character who thinks he's right and extremely righteous, so it's easy for you to play as Tony Stark's internal and external contrasts with the 'outside' of his personality." Li Xiaole looked at Tom Cruise's eyes and said:

"But all superheroes should be a loser at heart, and you have to play Tony Stark from the perspective of a loser. I don't think you can express the 'inward' level contrast at the moment. ”

Seeing that Tom Cruise and Stallone were at a loss, Li Xiaole sighed in his heart, although these two worked hard, their performance realm was still a little worse, thinking of this, he could only use his index finger and thumb to pinch together and make a "very small" gesture to lure Tom Cruise and say:

"Tom, I know you don't understand now, as long as I ask you to do a little training, I can make you understand, are you willing to accept this training?"

"Of course...... Willing. Tom Cruise obviously hesitated, he still didn't quite believe in Li Xiaole's "loser" theory.

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you in advance, this training is a bit hard, if you really want to, we can sign a waiver agreement first, I'm afraid that Wagner will trouble me then." Although Li Xiaole's words seemed like a joke, his expression was indeed very serious.

"Lee, little Tommy won't be afraid of any little training." Stallone smiled and put his arm around Tom Cruise's shoulder, and touched his head unscrupulously: "You say yes, little Tommy." ”

"Of course, as long as it's for the sake of the movie." Tom Cruise nodded resolutely after thinking about it for a few seconds, although he didn't know what Li Xiaole was going to do, but after so many things, he had no reason to question Li Xiaole's decision, Li Xiaole as a director and producer, he was the real king in the crew.

Li Xiaole took out his iPhone, pulled up the "Voluntary Waiver Agreement" that had been prepared by Haode from it, and then asked Tom Cruise to put his thumb on the "Home" button to scan the fingerprint and sign the contract.

"Does the iPhone have this feature? How did I not know? Stallone looked at this kind of high-tech scene that only appears in movies, and took out his iPhone in surprise.

"No, I'm an engineering machine, and this kind of jishu can't be mass-produced in a short period of time." Li Xiaole shrugged his shoulders, Apple has not bought this kind of fingerprint recognition jishu's patent, and now the cost of mass production is too high, he just installed it on his engineering machine for testing, and it is useless for other purposes, but it is very convenient for signing contracts and the like.

"Lee, what kind of training is it, you can start now." Tom Cruise said a little impatiently, he wanted to see what kind of medicine Li Xiaole was selling in the gourd.

"It's not that hard to train." Li Xiaole looked at him and said calmly: "I will simulate the real encounter of Tony Stark, and I only need you to stay alone for a week in the cave prison we filmed." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Tom Cruise was surprised when he heard it, but it was just a simulated character...... He usually does too much.

"Of course, it's not just that, in that little room, we'll turn off the lights and keep it dark, and we'll show some videos from time to time, and in there I'll prepare a place for you to go to the bathroom, and there's food, and you won't be able to come out for seven days, and you won't come into contact with anyone outside." After Li Xiaole finished speaking, he still blinked and added: "Of course, if you can't stand it, you can come out at any time, but I'm afraid that this training will be in vain." ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, although a waiver agreement has been signed, everything still depends on the actor's consciousness, and the director is not illegally imprisoning any actor.

"Understood, as long as I don't miss the opportunity to shoot, I will complete this training." Tom Cruise nodded resolutely, although it sounds a little perverted, but in order to play Tony Stark well, he is definitely willing to try, as an actor of his level, the difference between inside and outside compared with personality, this kind of top acting skills, is a huge temptation in itself.

"Okay, let's get started now." Li Xiaole arranged it, cleaned up the prop room, left only a remote control computer screen, and the necessities of 7 days of life, and after simply preparing everything, he let Tom Cruise live in.

"Keep all your belongings out there and don't leave anything behind." Li Xiaole instructed, Tom Cruise also shrugged his shoulders indifferently, not afraid of this kind of "prisoner" treatment, he is not an ordinary actor, but a real performance maniac who can give everything for the role, as long as it is for the good of the role, he can do all crazy things.

Li Xiaole asked the staff to bring a spring bed, spread the futon, and turned to Stallone and instructed: "Silvestre, from now on, your task is to rest at the door, don't talk to Tom, and don't let anyone approach him." ”

During Tom Cruise's 7 days here, Li Xiaole was just in time to shoot the action scenes of Tony Stark wearing Mark1 and fighting the terrorists who imprisoned him, and these shots could also allow the stuntman to wear Mark1 to act.

"I understand, you're afraid that little Tommy's fans will feel sorry for him." Stallone smiled and nodded, in the crew, Tom Cruise is notoriously kind, has a good attitude towards the extras and the staff, even if the shooting is lucky, he will give them time to take a photo and sign autographs, so everyone likes this handsome guy very much.

If someone else is here, I'm afraid that there will be "kind" staff members who secretly send Tom Cruise mobile phones, books and other things to relieve boredom......
