1096 artistic pursuit
“No breaks, keep going, we keep going.”
Alfonso tried hard to suppress his emotions, but the voice he raised still revealed his inner excitement and excitement. There was a slight commotion in the studio, but Alfonso didn't care at all and turned around to return to surveillance. Behind the device, I continued shooting, but as soon as an idea flashed in my mind, I stopped..
Turning around, Alfonso looked at Rooney, then at Renly, and considered his words..
When he chose Renly, Alfonso was full of confidence, but he still didn't expect that Renly would actually pay so much for this movie and give such a wonderful performance; similarly, when he chose Rooney, Alfonso also went through After careful consideration, Rooney’s performance still succeeded in bringing surprises.
More importantly, the chemical reaction between Renly and Rooney overflowed on the big screen, creating different sparks..
It does not come from the plot, nor from the lines, but more from the natural chemical reaction of the two actors during the performance. The air flow slowly flows in the air, making the entire shot more full and full, and even the plot. It becomes more interesting.
This is really an unexpected gain - Alfonso is a complete technical nerd and knows nothing about the friendship between Renly and Rooney. He has never even heard of the scandal between Renly and Jennifer Lawrence. But that's exactly what happened. The objective perspective gave the film lens more space and gave birth to sparks..
Now, Alfonso couldn't help but start to think divergently, "Guys, what do you think if a love line develops between Ryan and Alex?……”
Before the whole question was fully explained, Renly and Rooney said in unison, "No.！”
Then Renly shook his head slightly and showed a ridiculous smile, "Absolutely not, this is a terrible idea..”
Then Rooney nodded in agreement, but ignored Alfonso. Instead, she looked at Renly and said with surprise, "We have said before that this will definitely happen. Haha..”
Alfonso, who stood between the two people, became more and more interested, "Please, guys, you should pay attention. The sparks between each other are so interesting. This is the most special bond between the two characters.".”
“No, on the contrary, the bond between Ryan and Alex comes from the compatibility of souls. They have their own loneliness, insist on their own beliefs, and chase their own dreams." Renly explained..
Rooney then added, "Yes, there was indeed a chemical reaction between the two of them. Later, when Ryan was dying, he almost gave up, but Alex's fantasy appeared. Not only because Alex is Ryan The only comrade-in-arms at the last moment, also because the two of them understood each other. However, this emotion is higher than love and friendship, and is more of an exchange of souls..”
“Indeed." Renly looked at Alfonso seriously, "If love is given between the two characters, this is really a terrible decision. It will not only destroy the core theme of the movie, but also degrade the entire movie. The texture of the work. Do you remember it? We have been working hard to strip away Ryan's social attributes. Family and friendship no longer exist, so love has no meaning. What we are discussing is life, the universe, and time, not the love between two ordinary people..”
Rooney nodded and continued, "If love is mixed between Ryan and Alex, then the movie will become an ordinary commercial movie. I think you don't just want to make a 'Avatar' obviously hopes to be able to discuss more things, isn't it? This is communication from the soul, which takes place in the weightless environment of space, and its meaning is definitely more than that..”
“What's more, the filming we have completed so far has very full plots. Adding plots hastily would be a disaster for rhythm control and character creation." Renly also raised another important question..
With each other, Renly and Rooney's words flowed down like a waterfall. Alfonso stood there, dumbfounded. He couldn't even interrupt, he could only stare at the two people blankly. Sometimes he turns to the right, sometimes he turns to the left, accepting the baptism of this brainstorming..
On the one hand, Alfonso couldn't help but sigh. The tacit understanding between Renly and Rooney was so wonderful, especially the seemingly invisible connection between the eyes, which fully demonstrated the pure soul communication between the two characters. It's definitely a very interesting thing if the camera can capture it..
On the other hand, Alfonso understood what the two people meant. The sudden idea just now was really a bad idea. They were even working on stripping the gender attributes of the two characters and treating them just as living beings; now But returning to the love line, this is not only a regression, but also a serious regression.
After gradually understanding, Alfonso also knew that even if he was unwilling to let go, as Renly and Rooney said, the two characters maintained a sympathetic and confidant relationship, communicating and confirming each other at the soul level. This is best way to express.
Furthermore, Alfonso also realized that he had made an impulsive mistake.
From the beginning, we have weakened the deliberate plot, redundant performances, and cumbersome descriptions, and only recorded all the chemical reactions and performance content through the camera, leaving space for the audience to think. This is the creative basis of the entire film. , from the script to the lines to the characters, everything is like this. Through the gradual foreshadowing of clues, all the work of reflection is left to the audience.——
Audiences who like popcorn can enjoy a disaster blockbuster about survival in space. This is fine. Audiences who like sublimation and refinement of themes can interpret the plot, characters, and ideas based on their own senses. Those who like philosophy and art , critical audiences can also savor it carefully after watching the movie..
In this way, all they need to capture the deeper meaning derived from the chemical reaction between the two characters is to record it on camera. That is enough, and the rest is left to the audience..
Alfonso's proposal just now is superfluous..
Amidst the sharp words of Renly and Rooney, Alfonso not only did not get angry, but also showed a bright smile..
As a director, his creative intentions and thoughts have been fully understood by the actors, and even extended more connotative tentacles in the performance, giving the movie a richer heritage, which is worth chewing over and over again. This is definitely a thing The extremely happy thing is like finding a like-minded soulmate on the level of art..
Looking back now, Alfonso finally understood how the unique quality in Renly and Rooney's performances came from. Obviously, the two actors had reached a consensus during the preparation stage..
Such performance is not only genius, but also extremely diligent. For any director, this is something to be thankful for..
Alfonso showed a big smile, nodded in affirmation, and then said sincerely, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being off topic. Just ignore the suggestion I just made.".”
Renly exhaled a long breath, "Huh, Alfonso, you were really scared to death just now. I thought your soul was out of body.".”
Rooney also exaggeratedly wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead and echoed, "It simply overturned all the characters, and even the core theme of the movie became vulgar..”
“God, Alfonso, you know? This is always the case in Hollywood movies. As long as a man and a woman stand together, they must fall in love, and there must be a spark. Even in a moment of life and death, two people must be affectionate. This is simply a cliché. ." Renly complained unabashedly..
Then Rooney showed a meaningful smile, "Are you complaining about your own work?"？”
“"Edge of Tomorrow", in the original novel, the hero and heroine are more like comrades; but in the Hollywood adaptation, sparks of love still burst out. However, after enough foreshadowing and brewing, Renly and Jennifer's interpretations Interpretation, in fact, love is persuasive. Compared with the mechanical interpretation of most popcorn, the level and quality are not on the same level..
but……
Renly nodded in affirmation without hesitation and responded with a helpless smile, "Didn't you see the box office of the movie? That's why.”
I unintentionally complained again: Hollywood's best-selling popcorn has its own traces. Therefore, all major production companies follow the same routine, like an assembly line, to create one similar movie after another. Until this routine no longer sells for money.
Renly's generosity and frankness made Rooney nod his head in affirmation..
At this time, Alfonso finally found his voice. However, he was not a good talker to begin with. He tried to joke, but was unable to start. In the end, he could only say in a normal tone, "Then, for the sake of box office, I am Shouldn't we just stick to that terrible theme?？”
If you change the tone and remove the "bad" adjective, the effect should be pretty good; but the problem is that Alfonso's sincere expression and step-by-step voice really destroy all possibilities. So, the topic I'm just so embarrassed..
Renly lowered his chin sincerely, "Alfonso, you should stick to yourself." After saying that, his eyes were deliberately pressed heavily, as if he put all his trust on Alfonso's shoulders. It simulated the tragedy of the king entrusting the orphan, and the atmosphere suddenly became funny again..
Alfonso himself rubbed his hands shyly, "Then...then that's it, we will continue to complete the subsequent filming according to the original plan..”
As for the chemical reaction between Renly and Rooney, this is considered an easter egg and is left to the audience to savor. Thinking of this, Alfonso's mood became lighter, he turned around and walked towards the monitor with satisfaction. passed.
