In the trilogy of sin, there is actually a philosophical question involved: at the beginning of human beings, is nature inherently good, or is nature inherently evil?

For example, the little overlord in the "City of God", his dream since childhood is to be a villain, wanting to rule the entire City of God; For example, Vincent in "Killing with a Knife", he has no moral concept and no benchmark of justice, and profit is the only driving force for his actions; Another example is the yellow bastard in "Sin City", pure and extremely evil, and will not compromise the means to achieve the end.

So, is the evil of these people in nature, or is it caused by society? And is the depravity of society the result of the evil nature of human greed?

This is a huge proposition, and if it is really explored in depth, it is obviously not something that can be controlled by the current level of Reims. Therefore, Lance did not intend to go further into this level, he just passed by and substituted his views into it, "Human nature is inherently good, and the influence of evil comes from the edification and corrosion of society", Lance deliberately avoided this philosophical proposition when setting up the role, and directly set the essence of each character to be good.

In "City of God", Lance did not condemn the little overlord who did all kinds of evil, but told his story in a reincarnated way with a trace of pity, and the audience not only did not hate this character after watching the movie, but on the contrary, many people would like this character; In "Killing with a Knife", Lance did not let Vincent end up desolate, but used Max's values to shake Vincent's world, so that Vincent had a flaw and led to a different ending.

Similarly, in Sin City, Lance is not going to discuss this issue. For other roles, Lance gave the actor the right to construct the background, but on the big screen, those past will not be shown, just like "borrowing a knife to kill", but helping the actor to enter the bridge of the role; But Nancy's character is different. She appears twice, once as a teenager and once as an adult, and the change in character is obvious, so her growth curve will be the vehicle that runs through the core idea of "Sin City".

In Lance's conception, Nancy was a canary imprisoned in a cage as a child, but the dark dealings of her parents permeated her life everywhere, and the so-called "canary" was not ignorant of the world, but she took these sins for granted. She doesn't think those dark deals are wrong. The rebellion in her bones made her run away from her home, but she was kidnapped, and what was even more terrifying was that the kidnappers wanted not a ransom, but her, so she fell into an isolated situation where no one could save her.

In such a situation, Hardigan saved her. became her hero, which also became a bond between the two people. But after that, Nancy's world began to fall apart, and little by little she was dragged into the dark abyss. Eight years later. When Nancy meets Hardigan again, her soul has begun to rot and she lives like a walking corpse, just a little push. She will be completely depraved - and the straw that breaks the camel's back is the reappearance of Roger, who has metamorphosed into a yellow mongrel, and Nancy, who has finally lost control, is overwhelmed by anger. killed the yellow mongrel with his own hands and died in the world; Hardigan volunteered to be a scapegoat and chose to commit suicide, cutting off the last trace of conscience and kindness in Nancy's heart.

Sin City has never been seen ever since.

Nancy's main line is the most mainstream, from good to evil, from purity to filth, from victim to perpetrator, and it is also the carrier for Lance to completely elaborate the condemnation of the social status quo in the crime trilogy from a mainstream perspective. It can be said that this is a very simple, but very complex, and more important role.

Emma had only attended a brief audition today, and had read the script outline at most, but was able to get her mind on the right track so quickly, though still not entirely correct, was another surprise to Lance.

Lance wasn't in a hurry to correct the error in Emma's words, and he wasn't going to correct it - it was homework for Emma, "Oh? Why are you so sure? Doesn't it depend on the director's intentions? There was a hint of doubt and provocation in Lance's voice, masking his inner curiosity, as if he had created a new problem for Emma.

Emma smiled confidently, "Because I could smell the director's thoughts during the audition just now." ”

Lance's eyebrows twitched slightly, suppressing the ridiculousness of crying and laughing, and spoke again, "So, what do you think now?" ”

It's the same question, Lance asked it once just now, so why ask it a second time? Emma couldn't help but be stunned, but after being stunned for a while, Emma reacted, "You mean, my own thoughts?" "It's not Nancy's idea for the character, it's her own idea, and Lance means that interpreting Nancy according to her own age will not only be more realistic, but it will also make the performance more convincing.

Emma stood there in amazement, unable to believe her ears.

As we all know, the glamorous actors under the spotlight are always just a chess piece in the hands of the director in the crew, and they are also a money-making tool in the hands of the producer. Unless they can reach heights like Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, it is almost difficult for actors to have independent rights, let alone newcomers like Emma who have no acting experience.

But now, Lance has made it clear that he wants Emma to integrate his ideas into the character, how can Emma not be shocked, she froze in place, and she couldn't react for a while.

Seeing Emma's reaction, the smile in Lance's eyes swelled slightly. Truth be told, Emma's savvy far exceeded Lance's expectations, which led Lance to the idea that if Emma could be his royal actor, just like Michael Fassbender, it would seem like a good choice.

In the distant future, among the new generation of actresses, especially young actresses under the age of 25, Jennifer-Lawrence (Jennifer-Lawrence) is unrivaled, she won the Oscar before the age of 23, becoming the second youngest actress in film history, and she relied on the "X-Men" series and the "Hunger Games" series to become a box office guarantee, almost arguably the first young actress.

Of course, in addition to her, actresses such as Emma Watson (Emma-Watson), Kristin-Stewart (Kristin-Stewart) and Shailene-Woodley (Shailene-Woodley) have also achieved many good achievements, but among actresses of similar age, Emma Stone is the first to be comparable to Jennifer.

In terms of box office, Emma has good performances such as the "Amazing Spider-Man" series and "Crazy Stupid Love"; In terms of performance, works such as "Help" and "Gossip Project" have won a lot of recognition, and "Birdman" won her first Oscar nomination for acting. It can be said that she is an extremely malleable actress.

Emma's acting skills are quite solid, especially the talent of comedy performance is eye-catching, the details of the performance and the conveyance of the plot are very good, but the most regrettable thing is that there is a lack of spirituality. However, "performing spirituality" is inherently unattainable, and Jennifer is known as the most spiritual actress of the younger generation, but since "Winter's Bone", her spirituality is gradually disappearing.

In Lance's view, the biggest problem with Emma's performance is the lack of diversity, in fact, Jennifer also faced a similar problem after winning the Oscar, constantly repeating her own performance and repeating her own model, which is a problem that every actor must face, and it is a bottleneck that young actors cannot ignore. Emma's performances in works such as "Help", "Birdman", and "Magic Moonlight" are quite similar, explosive and delicate, but lack depth and variety.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is a question of the richness and diversity of performance skills.

If you can effectively guide you step by step in the early stage of learning performance, integrate your own characteristics, and constantly learn from the characteristics of other actors, and precipitate and transform them into your own things in the process of accumulating experience, then the thickness and power of the performance can often burst out between gestures.

Of course, this is not an easy task, Lance did not have such a talent, but after three lifetimes of experience, ten years of precipitation on Broadway, and thousands of movies, he now has such a possibility, but the real performance still needs to be honed in practice.

Lance wasn't sure if Emma had such a gift, at least the perception she had shown today was a possibility. So, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

"A good actor must have his own ideas, not only his own understanding of the character, but also his own understanding of the script. If I'm not mistaken, this is someone's dream. Lance said a lot of rare words, and the sudden contrast made Emma directly stunned.

At this moment, the parking boy drove the car over, and Lance closed his jaw with a smile, "I hope you can become a good actor, maybe this is a good start." With that, Lance walked straight to the driver's seat and walked away without stopping.

Emma stood there for a long time, watching the car go away, for a long time, "He remembered my dreams." She didn't forget that conversation about dreams, and neither did he, "He remembered my dreams." Emma couldn't help muttering to herself, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly rose, taller and bigger, and finally completely brilliantly released.

Regarding her dream of being an actress, she has never given up and she does not intend to give up, to become a good actor, to be an actor who shocks the audience with her acting skills, this is always her goal. And now, she finally ushered in the opportunity to start this dream, if "Sin City" can be the www.biquge.info of this journey, if he can be the guide of his dreams, if ......

The excitement in my heart is surging, making the smile brighter and brighter, and the eyes more and more determined. Gently clenching her fists, Emma looked at the remnants of the car that had gone away, and unconsciously, her mood slowly settled. (To be continued.) )
