285 delicate performances
In this scene just now, Kate's core idea is to "fight back", which is also the trait she showed during the audition process, so when Kate is performing, she is always trying to show her momentum, including the cohesion of lines, including the speed of speaking, including the use of eyes, she has been restoring the rhythm of the performance on the day of the audition.
During the performance, Kate's feelings are not obvious, she is always trying her best to devote herself to her role, she can feel Lance's affection xù involved, under the firm and strong belief, her counterattack seems meticulous and smooth, almost without any thinking, the confrontation has been formed. However, now standing in front of the monitor, Kate gradually felt that she and Lance did not seem to be performing at the same frequency.
It stands to reason that two people are arguing and fighting, so the rhythm of the performance is bound to be on the same level, especially in the 60-second performance just now, you go back and forth, dialogue after sentence, the small space and dense dialogue leave almost no gaps. But here's the problem, the same lines, the same intensity, the same speed, Kate feels that the rhythm of the two people's performances is different.
It's a weird feeling. Kate knew that she wasn't slowing down, instead, she was trying to speed up - the faster the reaction during the argument, the higher the reaction speed, so it could only be that Lance was slowing down.
Raising her head, Kate looked at Lance, only to find that Lance didn't have a superfluous expression, just looked at it calmly, which made her a little unsure. Then I heard Lance say, "Replay it again." ”
Sixty seconds was a short time, and it passed in a blink of an eye, and when the play was over, Lance turned his head to look at the other actors around him, but he realized. There was silence for all. So, Lance said again, "Replay it again." Everyone finally realized that something was wrong at this point, and it was clear that this scene was not as simple as it seemed.
The others were looking back, but Lance was also watching. In this performance just now, the space to play is very limited. But Lance doesn't think so, it is precisely these seemingly simple scenes that show the depth of the performance. Everyone has their own habits of small movements and expressions, which cannot be controlled, and it is also formed according to the person's life, work, friendship and other environments.
For example, the profession of a taxi driver is very special, because every "∧" ∧, he needs to come into contact with a large number of passengers, all kinds of things, he always sits in the driver's seat, motionless. Long hours of driving are not only exhausting, but also boring. Some drivers will choose to turn on the radio station and focus on the airwaves; Some drivers will look at the passenger's face and if it is appropriate, then he will chat with the passenger; Some drivers are very gossipy, quietly observing each passenger and writing all kinds of stories in their heads.
Lance in order to figure out the role of a taxi driver, not long ago. It actually took two weeks to drive a taxi, an eight-hour shift a day. Observing the city from the perspective of a taxi driver, Lance discovered that in the Michael Mann version, Jamie Foxx played Max, obviously the role positioning is not clear enough.
Jamie's version of Max has many qualities, and his dream is to own a haute couture sedan company. Make your customers feel at home so that they don't even want to leave the car. So, when he played Max, many details were from this point of view, such as liking to listen to elegant jazz. For example, when the opportunity is right, we will take the initiative to chat with customers, such as choosing the right route from the customer's point of view......
This is all on the right track, but Lance finds that Max's own personality is missing here. In "Killing with a Knife", Max is a person who has a dream but never dares to realize it; He has a strong sense of justice in his heart, but his courage is drained by a life of inaction; He sat in a taxi every day and fantasized that he was driving a limousine and receiving upper-class customers.
So, Max should be a careful man, who meticulously cares for his taxi - even if it doesn't belong to him, but to the taxi company; Max is supposed to be a person with countless ideas in his heart, maybe every time he sees a different customer, he will have countless compositions in his mind, but he never dares to express it; Max is supposed to be a person who is not very confident all the time, he does not like to argue with others, and he does not even dare to express his position lightly.
This also makes the collision between Max and Vincent more sparkling, all the emotions in Max's heart are like a dead volcano, under Vincent's step by step, in this night full of killing, little by little to break free from the shackles, leading to the final explosion.
So, how should these personalities be reflected through guò's delicate performances?
Lance tried to show in the performance just now, Max always looked in the rearview mirror frequently, this is not only communicating with Annie, in fact, he is also constantly looking at Annie, while looking, Max's mind is turbulent with countless emotions, so his eyes should always be moving, from the rearview mirror to the road in front of him, from the road directly in front of him to other vehicles on the side, to the fingerprints on the steering wheel, dust on the glass windows and other details, that restless fantasy picture has always been active.
In addition, Max always seems to have a breath in his mouth when he speaks, and that breath is his instinctive habit, and he hesitates before each speak. In fact, this hesitation is difficult for others to feel, and it is possible to mistake him for just breathing - each breath is relatively loud, but in fact it is the boiling of Max's own thoughts. Even when it comes to his own expertise, he knows every road in Los Angeles and can figure out the timing of traffic lights, but he still seems hesitant when it comes to confronting Anne. On the one hand, it is due to Anne's status as a customer, but on the other hand, it is also a factor of Max's personality.
Also, Max has some unconscious small movements, such as tilting his head, touching his eyebrows, exhaling, and pursing his lips...... Small actions such as these give away Max's inner uncertainty and active thoughts.
These are so delicate that they are almost negligible, and it is likely that they are just people's subconscious actions in life, but they are enough to make the whole character three-dimensional, truly get rid of the appearance of "Lancelot-Strello", and substitute the soul of "Max" into the body.
However, Lance also found out in the process of repeated reviews that his performance was still not accurate enough, and the most direct manifestation was his eyes. His eyes are too bright to fit Max's character setting, he should lower his eyelids a little and hide more of the changes in his feelings, as the plot develops - for example, when he realizes that Vincent has killed someone, the panicked love will slowly make his eyes gradually light up, and later, during his argument with Vincent, the changes in his eyes should be linked to his inner struggle.
Sure enough, I haven't performed for too long, and if I put it in the previous life, the role of Max is not very challenging for Lance, because Max is not a character with a distinct personality and a mixed heart, and his whole image is relatively single-lined. This is also a setting that is consistent with the overall business style of "killing people with a knife", so Lance always said that Vincent was the real challenge.
However, there has been no performance for two years, and there is still a lack of grasp of details.
The reason why Lance watched this scene over and over again was not because of himself, and not just because of Kate. Objectively speaking, Kate's performance reached the passing line, but the details still lacked variety. In fact, Kate only needs to adjust the rhythm of her breathing, add some performance details between the sentences she speaks—such as looking up in the rearview mirror, fiddling with her phone, such as looking back and forth between the window and the briefcase on her lap, showing Anne's anxiety and tension at the moment, and then keep the previous way of acting, and there will be no problem.
In addition to correcting Kate, Lance's real purpose is Tom and the other actors, and he needs everyone to understand what the rhythm of the performance is like in this play, and the details of the performance must be very fine.
However, this scene has been watched at least five times repeatedly, and everyone can detect that something is wrong, but they can't say why. Lance looked around and looked around, his gaze lingering on Tom's body for an extra half second, but Tom still didn't say anything, and everyone else stood there with an obscure expression.
Lance couldn't help but exhale softly, although the scene was only sixty seconds, but Lance thought that the actors he selected were all trained in acting, and their skills were very solid, at least they should see a reason. Moreover, Lance can't be counted now, but what about the result? It's still quiet, which is disappointing.
Lance looked at Percy and retracted his jaw slightly, ready to let him play it back again, but a hesitant voice suddenly came from the side, "Lancelot......" In an instant, everyone's eyes turned away, Michael Fassbender raised his right hand, only feeling that his whole body was full of arrows, he retracted his arm a little timidly, and said uncertainly, "Mr. Strello?" ”
Michael's gaze paused on everyone around him before finally landing on Lance's. Michael only felt his scalp tingle at this time, he was estimated to be the most unqualified nobody on the scene, and he could feel the pressure everywhere at this time. However, meeting Lance's calm blue eyes, Michael couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, and then said, "Sir, in this scene just now, you not only slowed down the pace of the performance, but also added a lot of details to the performance. So, you can feel that you and Miss Beckinsale's performance are not on the same rhythm. ”
Speaking of the back, Michael became more and more weak, and he simply stopped and looked at Lance at a loss. (To be continued.) )
