Filming "The Man on the Moon", Xiaobai's main idea is to steal teachers!

He wanted to learn how Jim Carrey acted.

Therefore, he is very serious, and after each performance, he will discuss it with Jim Carrey, and then record it in a notebook that he thinks is useful.

After half a month, the harvest is great!

In fact, every actor has his own acting philosophy.

Now that we are talking about acting, it is inevitable to compare the actors from the peak era of Hollywood actors and the golden age of Hong Kong films!

1967 to 1976 is the most abundant era in the history of Hollywood films.

The times create heroes, and the New Film Movement and the "Four Genius Directors and Actors" have achieved each other

Of course, Jack Nicholson, who is also one of the four talented actors, has now embarked on the road of no return to prostitution...

Hey, old Jack...

During this period, the rise of American film professional academies, mainly New York University, the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles, before the mainstream American directors had almost no academic schools, and did not pay attention to this aspect of training!

Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Alan Akin, Dennis Hopper, and many more are created around the historical background of "Vietnam War and Watergate"!

Europe, especially British directors, moved to the United States in large numbers, and American films of that era were very personal, like European films, and the drama model became nonsense, which can be said to be a very creative era, but the flaw is comedy, and the four little Hollywood geniuses, including Martin, basically finished playing comedy when they touched it...

In the 70s, the Four Heavenly Kings jumped from their fledgling to the top.

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman are all methodists!

The way they performed has an impact to this day!

Of course, if you talk about methodism, the most awesome is of course Marlon Brando!

It is rumored that Brando lay in a hospital bed for a month in order to get into the psychology of a paraplegic patient.

And Daniel Day Lewis...

The most important thing in methodology is that the actor really thinks on stage, and the emotion explodes by triggering his own experience, rather than trying to align his thoughts with the character.

The actors of the golden age of Hong Kong films, compared with these people, may not have such a long preparation time for a scene, which is often referred to as desk work, too, Fa Ge has six movies a year, where does the time come from to prepare, and Hong Kong films are used to on-site creation, for example, Adu, he often shoots for one day, waits for a month, and shoots for two more days...

But, I, why don't we think they have bad acting skills?

The most important reason, explosiveness!

The so-called explosive power simply means that emotions come when they are spoken. If an actor's acting lacks explosiveness, then the whole scene will be as bland and tasteless as boiled water.

Almost all the acclaimed performances in film history are often inseparable from the explosiveness of the actors. For example, the crying scene of Man Shen's recognition of the corpse in "Sweet Honey", and the laughter that he accidentally met with Li Ming at the end, the two scenes, one crying and laughing, one happy and one sad, all showed strong explosiveness.

Not to mention such an awesome character as Man Shen, just talking about the recognized vase, people also have explosive performances, such as a paragraph in "Make the Head"...

Explosive power can be divided into two types, dynamic burst and static burst.

Dynamic bursts with external flamboyance, which is not difficult;

All the male protagonists of Qiong Yao are very explosive!

The difficult thing is the static explosion, there is no external action, it is not externalized, but the explosive power of the inner emotion.

For example, in the scene where the heroine Ida is cut off by her husband in "The Piano Lesson", Ida is mute, she can't speak after her fingers are cut off, there are no exaggerated movements, and there is no exaggerated expression, but the audience can really feel the anger and injustice in her heart through her eyes, this is the charm of static outbursts, and the power that comes out from the heart.

"The Man on the Moon", Xiaobai personally felt Jim Carrey's skills in dealing with these static explosive performances.

His desk work embarrassed Xiaobai...

Listening to him, in half a year, he watched all of Andy Kaufman's performance records in "Saturday Night Live", and even asked the producer of the year to his home for a good chat for a few weeks.

Of course, he has this condition, and Jim Carrey himself is a comedian who came out of "Saturday Night Live"...

Don't think that Hollywood actors don't pay attention to desk work, Danny Day Lewis studied Lincoln's autograph, biography and contemporary interpretation of him in order to play "Lincoln" well, and finally came up with that amazing role. Similarly, before Bell acted in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Bell spent two months researching the materials of the Nanjing Massacre. So much so that when Zhang Yimou met him halfway, Zhang Yimou couldn't answer many questions about this character that Bell asked!

What a benefit!

……

A biopic, if not a legend, can be changed a little to adapt it to the rhythm of a commercial film.

The original version of "The Man on the Moon" is not top-notch at the box office or word of mouth, and the only good thing is probably that Jim Carrey won another Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and he didn't even get an Oscar nomination!

It was probably Warner Bros. that year that pushed all the PR resources to "Miracle in the Green Mile", and as for "The Man on the Moon", the box office was too unsuccessful!

At that time, Jim Carrey was in the 20 million club, and the total box office of "The Man on the Moon" was 36 million, which was almost not enough to pay the salary...

And that year's "American Beauty" was too unbelievable, Sam Mendes won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture for his debut film with this movie...

But times are different!

According to the information that Xiaobai understands, this year's film market is very... is very general, except for American comics that continue to sweep the box office, there are almost no commendable film works.

It all started with Hollywood.

In fact, the Hollywood we know should have started in the 80s!

Nowadays, when these words are mentioned, most people no longer associate them with art. Over time, it has spread to the entire United States - American movies have also become assembly line commodities with N styles lower than European movies, and the cards are not as bright as Asian, African and Latin Americans!

In fact, American films were born different from the European Union, European movies were originally things that only the elite could play, and the Soviet Union has always been controlled by the government, which can be said to have taken up all high-quality resources, and the spring breeze is as proud as our model play, but American movies are too democratic.

The dominant force in the United States is the people at the bottom who overthrew colonial rule, so the new art of film has become popular culture across the ocean, based on the taste of the working masses.

- At that time, there was no Hollywood, and American films were despised by European filmmakers!

Because during the First and Second World Wars, Europe was exhausted, and the artworks reflected were also full of pessimism and appeared to be a little more artistic, while the bejeweled and windfall of the United States exported much more entertaining things, in fact, there were also highly educated intellectuals who shot these works, but people were also quite conscious, never calling themselves artists, but called professional entertainers.

Before that, American films were in short supply, and there was an urgent need to use a standardized system to improve efficiency - efficiency is money.

The ensuing standardization and predictability are inevitable, but at the beginning, the producers, who knew that if the box office wanted to be a sensation, it would still focus on style, originality and courage, and always had the spare power to open up a middle way, giving rare talents the right to be autonomous...

In the 80s, there was a very far-reaching movie called "Jaws", how far-reaching? It is a series of phenomena caused by it that have made the film market very shallow, and it has been shallow until now...

In the 90s, it was even more exaggerated, American films have dominated the world, but at the same time, science and technology are developing, and the cost of special effects, advertising and star manpower has increased several times, and the film industry basically can't get back the money invested in the set, so the most important task of studio Hollywood is to make money!

Localized things are not easy to make money because of the cultural generation gap, and things that emphasize special effects, scenes, and weaken characters and themes can be understood by the whole world - movies have become McDonald's. There are fewer and fewer movies that have both the function of making money and washing the soul, and the little golden man is just a false name in comparison, and the reputation of the Oscar can be eaten!

At that time, Hollywood's screenwriters had the lowest status and the least power, and they were reduced to high-energy writing machines. People are always divided between greed and ambition, and one screenwriter said, "They ruined your story, slaughtered your ideas, sold your art, trampled on your self-esteem, and what did you gain?" A lot of wealth. ”

It has been influencing to this day!

With the Marvel series making a lot of money, a group of studios began to blush, so comic movies became the mainstream, and there are only a few movies with depth in the real sense every year, for the award season!

Judging from what is known so far, it seems that only "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "A Man Named Ove Decided to Die" and "World News" are a bit competitive, but Jim Carrey has never won an Oscar!

And he now has a positive image - he has overcome depression and is back on the screen.

Lionsgate has already formulated a plan for some categories, and the Oscar winner is almost a certainty!

At the end of August, the filming of "The Man on the Moon" was over, and Xiaobai returned to China...
