After watching Alan leave, Lance turned his head to look at the monitor, originally planning to watch the replay again, but found that he was still in the "Jeff state" - his hands were tied to the armrests, and he could only look back at Michael, who was standing next to him, "One more replay." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After "Hard Candy" was re-revised by him, the focus of the script began to shift, and more actors were needed to support the whole work, and all the burden fell on him and Allen.

As a director, he has to think about the big picture, so he has to revisit Allen's performance, and if necessary, he has to do a certain directing.

Although in the previous life, Allen won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress with her performance in "Juno", but Allen's performance was not the kind of explosive, she needed to integrate her own style and present the role through the accumulation of lines and action details. However, in "Hard Fruit Candy", he needs Alan to dedicate this explosive power in certain scenes, just like the energy that bursts out of the last line during the audition.

Watching the replay repeatedly, Lance realized that Alan still hadn't fully entered the role, she was always in control, still groping, but relatively speaking, his performance was completely released because of the guidance of the methodology, and in contrast, Allen's performance became more and more insufficient. He'd try to go back to the expressionist way and take it away, but at the same time Ellen needed to make some changes, and there wasn't much emotion in her eyes that she needed to let go.

Emma and Michael stood behind, looking at Lance in deep thought, both exchanging glances, as if encouraging the other to speak, but neither was willing to speak first - anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lance was now concentrating on his work, and it was definitely not a wise move to plan his creative ideas. However, the two of them had countless questions about the performance just now and wanted to consult, and their mouths were itching.

"If you have something to say, say it." Lance's voice came suddenly, startling both Emma and Michael, who both shook their heads quickly in denial. Lance turned his head to look at the two of them for a moment, then turned back, "Since there isn't, forget it." ”

"Lance." Emma couldn't bear it after all, and shouted, and Michael, who was standing next to him, secretly clenched his fists, but before he could finish rejoicing, Emma's voice came, "Michael's has a problem." ”

Michael gritted his teeth, but knew that if he denied it at this time, he would miss the opportunity, so he could only stubbornly ask, "Lance, shouldn't Jeff's personality be cowardly?" He is unable to deal with normal social relationships, so he is very nostalgic for childhood memories, so his personality is relatively gentle. But why did your performance seem so violent in the last scene? This doesn't seem to match the character. ”

In fact, this is one of the differences between the expressionists and the methodists, the expressionists are based on rational analysis, and then present accurate performances; The method school is to go with the flow, let the emotions and the characters merge into one, and release naturally.

Lance actually noticed this detail, he was also thinking repeatedly just now, whether the last scene should be closed or released, and now Michael has also brought it up, which shows that Michael is on the same thinking track as him, and he is indeed a European actor, "I think this is more like a desperate struggle." At this time, Jeff has not really been disarmed, he is still energetic and has the ability to resist, and when facing Hayley's aggressiveness before, he tried to quibble, but did not really resist, which is a manifestation of his cowardly personality. However, when he realizes that Hayley starts rummaging through the safe, he is finally cornered by a cliff, and if he doesn't resist, his secret will be revealed. So, Jeff first started to break free of the ropes - he made a quarter of a success, and then he was brewing a Jedi counterattack. ”

"So, you're saying that Jeff is going to start fighting back next?" Michael asked curiously.

Lance nodded, "To be precise, Jeff will fight back by all means, he has already had the idea of killing Hayley at this time, whether it is the process of being castrated, or the moment when he is forced to hang himself, Jeff's grudge and hatred for Hayley occupy the main position, and every emotional change is the advancement of tension, until ......" Lance said this, leaving a blank and did not continue.

Emma took over the conversation, "Until Hayley played the hole card of Ginel, and then all the courage that Jeff mustered was like dominoes, and began to collapse, and finally was completely defeated and agreed to commit suicide." Emma's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and at this point she finally understood Lance's construction process for the whole character, and at the same time the emotional direction that supported the whole script.

On the surface, Hayley is the one who controls the rhythm of the whole movie, but in fact, the real burden falls on Jeff.

Lance didn't affirm, but he didn't deny either. Because he was thinking about it himself, and before that, these thoughts were a little vague, just a concept, but now they are extremely clear and complete. This also means that after Lance really understood Jeff with methodological acting, all reactions came naturally, and he didn't even need to think, and what the conditioned reflex presented was the most correct.

It's no wonder that Hollywood has such a high regard for methodist acting, and it's no wonder that methodist acting always wins the Oscar. It is undeniable that the kind of shock that comes to the face, the methodology is more dramatic. But when it comes to character carving and personality building, the methodology is far inferior to the expressionist school.

Lance is discovering more and more the fun of Jeff's character.

"I'm ready." Allen's voice came from behind, and fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Lance looked up at Allen, his thin body straightened up, as if full of confidence. Lance doesn't plan to start directing Allen right now, preferring to let the actors play on their own, and then make adjustments and modifications, so as to retain the actors' own characteristics as much as possible.

Of course, for a self-contained work as limited in budget as "Hard Fruit Candy," such an approach is undoubtedly a luxury—a waste of film. However, the investment cost of "Fruit Hard Candy" is not really 600,000, and within 1 million is within the control of Lance, so for the sake of performance, extravagance and extravagance are also acceptable.

So, Lance looked back at Michael, "Push me back into the room." "It's hard work to be a director in a "Jeff" state. Limbs are tied up for more than half of the film, and every movement requires a lot of work.

After re-entering the shoot, Lance changed the way he acted, and Alan could clearly feel his rhythm being carried away. The so-called "rhythm imbalance" means that Alan feels that he is acting like this, but after the performance is over, standing in front of the monitor, and seeing the performance on the big screen is like that, he feels that the whole person is involuntarily, and all the performances are developing according to the rhythm and style of the opponent actors.

This made Alan a little discouraged, she felt that she had found the right way, but in the actual battle, she found that this was not the case at all.

"Lance." Alan hesitated a little, biting her lower lip, not knowing how to speak, but Lance didn't respond immediately, but quietly cast his gaze, the deep eyes seemed to have countless emotions, but she couldn't interpret it, "In this scene just now, how did my performance feel wrong, is there something wrong?" She doesn't need the director's veto, she can see the obvious difference herself, which just shows the seriousness of the problem, but she doesn't know how to start.

Lance pondered for a moment, "I don't think you're in the right frame of mind. "Whether it's a method school or an expression school, it's very important to figure out the role, but Allen's understanding of this scene is still not enough, so no matter how he performs, he feels that he hasn't stepped on the point," You should think like this, it's like playing hide and seek, you have seen someone else's tail exposed, but the person concerned doesn't know it, and thinks you're hiding well." You lighten your steps and get closer to ...... step by step."

A little joy, a little self-satisfaction, a little teasing, like a Persian cat playing with mice, but at the same time she has to be careful not to startle herself, she has to catch her prey slowly and gradually, and enjoy the whole process.

Allen's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. In the scene just now, Hayley's central goal is to defeat Jeff and find substantial evidence to confirm her hypothesis, as if playing hide and seek. So, she cautiously pressed forward, and Jeff's resistance and arguments seemed to her to be all futile, which she found interesting. It's like God's perspective. Then, when she started with the /erotic/erotic/film, and told the secret of Jeff's heart, she clearly saw the dodge and fear in Jeff's pupils, which also proved all her conjectures, and she should be a little proud - after all, Hayley is only fourteen years old.

After understanding this, Alan suddenly realized that her emotional expression just now was too flat and straightforward, not only lacking change, but also lacking this psychological delicacy, as if in the process of hiding and seeking step by step, she lacked the catwalk on tiptoe, just looking for the target at an ordinary pace, this lack of detail seems to be ordinary, but it leads to the loss of the core soul of the whole performance, so she can hardly see much in her eyes. Compared to Lance's eyes that controlled the audience, it could even be said to be empty and boring.

In this scene just now, Lance used the shooting technique of close-up shots in the middle shot, and finally locked the camera on the eyes, only the eyes, so the actor's understanding and accurate grasp of the emotions will determine the tone of the whole scene.

Alan finally understood, but the weight on her shoulders did not lighten, she stood in place, thinking carefully, chewing on the inspiration just now, and constantly figuring out the changes in her inner emotions, just like this, in front of Lance, fell into Hayley's world.

Emma stood aside and looked at Alan with some envy, because at this time her mind was also turning over and overturned, and she had her own understanding and opinion, but she couldn't perform with real guns. However, envy was only a matter of moments, and then Emma quietly thought: if she was to perform, how should she perform? (To be continued.) )
