1158 Confuse the real with the fake
It's a bit ridiculous to state it like this, but it's also true..
On the one hand, Ethan believes that Renly is Llewyn, and the whole performance is natural, with no flaws at all, and the aura and texture of his movements are impeccable; on the other hand, Ethan is worried that Lan Li is Llewyn, there is no performance element, but Llewyn is interpreted as Renly himself, which is bad news for "Drunken Country Ballad".
After realizing his random thoughts, Ethan himself burst into laughter. They originally insisted on using Renly because Renly and Llewyn had similar temperaments, but now they are worried that Renly will interpret Llewyn. It's too contradictory to become oneself, not to mention that they have personally confirmed Renly's talent and talent as an actor, haven't they?？
Sure enough, such an idea is indeed extremely ridiculous.
But from the side, this also proves that Renly's performance has achieved unimaginable success. Even the director has blurred the boundary between reality and illusion, creating an illusion. This idea is indeed a bit bold, but at least from the first Judging from the effect of the scene, this is a good thing. As for the subsequent effects, we need to slowly observe.
To be honest, Ethan is also a little curious, what is the difference between Renly and Lewyne? How will Renly's performance quality be presented? In other words, Renly really gradually transformed Llewyn into himself.？
In the first scene, my thoughts were a little overwhelming.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Ethan must first focus on the audience in front of him. Now there are more urgent things to deal with, "I mean, LeVine is a down-and-out singer. In that era, the most The worthless and most inconspicuous singer, they are just part of the pastime in the bar. He is not Renly, he should not win so much applause.”
There was a burst of laughter in the bar, and someone even whistled.
Ethan himself also smiled again, "The filming of this scene was very simple. Everyone just treated it as enjoying a performance in a tavern. There were no important people on the stage. But when the performers finished singing, they applauded politely to show support. For a moment, that's enough. I know that many people like Renly's performance, but I need you to show some restraint..”
“So can we laugh? "There was a voice from someone in the audience..
“Okay, absolutely okay." Ethan nodded repeatedly, "It's just……”
He paused, raised his hands and pressed them down, and said with a wry smile, "Just calm down, everyone, calm down. This is just an ordinary night, an ordinary singer, and an ordinary performance. If you like it, play it Two whistles are also allowed; if you don’t like it, talking in a low voice with your friends or drinking a glass of beer is also allowed. However, be sure to exercise restraint..”
The situation of thunderous applause just now must never happen again..
The Coen brothers had the right idea to use real folk fans to enhance the atmosphere of the Gaslight Bar, to outline the atmosphere of the sixties with the most ordinary and authentic touch; and to present an authentic performance, starting from Levy It's like this from when I'm on stage to when I'm off stage..
But there was a slight deviation during the actual operation. Obviously, they underestimated Renly's popularity and also underestimated Renly's skill..
In the first scene, everyone was worried about making mistakes and tried to stay focused as much as possible; but no one expected that in the end, an error occurred because the audience reacted too enthusiastically, and they had to reshoot. This is also dumbfounding..
After the explanation, Ethan turned around and looked at Renly, "Are you okay?？”
In the performance of this piece just now, Ethan could feel that the full and abundant emotions were stirring and conveyed through the singing; and whether it is a singer or an actor, entering the performance state requires rhythm to brew. Now, it is done in one go. The performance had to be filmed again, and he was still a little worried.
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, outlining a hint of nonchalance and casualness. "It's just a show." A gleam of light slipped through his dark brown eyes, a little irritated, a little bitter, a little bit. Indulgent, a little arrogant, mixed emotions are fleeting, but they can't be described. I just feel the unruly hidden deep in my bones, "So I guess, I don't have time to smoke a cigarette."？”
“Sorry, no, we need to catch up." Ethan blurted out reflexively..
Renly didn't care, he patted Ethan's left arm gently with his right hand, walked towards the other side of the stage with the guitar, and then got ready to perform again..
Ethan always felt that something was wrong, so he turned around subconsciously, and then saw Renly's back. He raised his hand casually and scratched his head. His slightly curly hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and his hair was slightly damp. It exploded stubbornly and flamboyantly in the halo, revealing a sense of raunchy casualness..
This isn't Renly, it's Llewyn.
The same pride, the same aloofness, the same restraint, the same concentration; but, more uninhibited, more casual, more bold, more arrogant, more public, more relaxed. Most importantly, more businesslike——
This is a complimentary term, not a derogatory term.
Renly has always been able to capture a faint temperament, belonging to the upper class, the elite, or the arrogance of the intellectuals, which resulted in a vague sense of alienation; but now, this temperament has disappeared, and it can be It can be said that it is more vulgar, more popular, and it can also be said that it is more down-to-earth. It seems that he really is like a homeless person sleeping on the street..
That kind of roughness permeates every gesture, and there is no trace of performance, but it brings a completely different texture..
Is this the power of acting?？
But this feeling was fleeting. Before Ethan could savor it carefully, Renly's figure had disappeared into the darkness, and his inspiration also disappeared. It was impossible to judge whether it was an illusion of his own. , it seems that we can only wait for the follow-up and then slowly confirm it..
After so many years in the industry, Ethan became curious about acting for the first time..
……
Different, after all, still different.
Although Renly is not yet an experienced actor, his rich experience and exploration have given him more insights into acting. In the past year, he has performed from "Transcendence" to "Les Misérables" to "Gravity". ”, Renly is truly integrating Method and Expressionist performances bit by bit..
Renly and Llewyn are different after all.
Because Renly has no way out, he has no family to turn to, no friends to rely on to lend a helping hand, and no emotional fetters; more importantly, the experience of two lives has made him like a moth to a flame. Generally, people work hard without caring about their own safety. After arriving in New York, they run towards their dreams without any distractions..
Renly, like Lewin, once questioned himself, worried about the future, and feared the present. However, Renly continued to move forward without hesitation; while Lewin was tied up and trapped in place. , at a loss.
LeVine's life is full of trivial matters, hesitating and hesitating; LeVine's dream is full of the bitterness of reality, there are too many uncertain things, hesitation and hesitation in every step Hesitating, his pride was crushed bit by bit. Only music was his only relief and his only respite..
But this difference is only known to Renly himself.
It was precisely this difference that prompted Renly to think more about life, the times, destiny, and life..
How did Llewyn come to choose ballads? What had he experienced before the story of the movie? What’s the story behind the recording process of the album “About Le’Veon Davis”? The ballad entrusts LeVine's dream, and it is also LeVine's life. What is hidden under the torrent of the entire era?？
In the end, after going around and around, LeVine finally returned to where he was. Is this fate? Or is it due to personality? Or maybe his life was destined to end from the beginning, so can he get rid of this shackles of fate? Or why Bob Dylan got rid of it, but LeVine was annihilated？
For the first time, Renly didn't construct a character from a script, but instead sketched the image of Dave Van Ronk from song to song, and then outlined the character of Le'Veon Davis. The outline was finally projected on Renly himself, and the boundaries between the character and himself began to blur bit by bit, and finally, he entered an unprecedented performance state.——
Similar to "Gravity", but easier and more comfortable.
Everyone prefers the performance crutch because it can exert or borrow strength; but Renly enjoys this state without the performance crutch even more, throwing off all constraints and performing with his own understanding and interpretation..
Even though he knew that this was a performance, his most private and vulnerable side was still involuntarily exposed and carefully hidden in the character. The boundaries between Methodism and Expressionism also gradually disappeared, with Methodism It starts with expressionism and ends with method. The whole performance is done in one go. All the skills are as masterful as arms and fingers..
So wanton, so indulgent, so uninhibited, so free.
This kind of performance state allows people to fully enjoy and wander through it, and truly appreciate the charm and conveyance of art..
What's more important is that when acting and singing are combined, the gurgling emotional release becomes even more natural and logical. It hardly requires any effort or skill to outline and carve out, and the whole performance is both spiritual and physical. It's like... it's like it's easy to pick up..
It is a step further than the performance state of "Gravity", and it is more relaxed and relaxed..
As a result, Renly no longer cared about his acting skills, nor did he care about the boundaries between reality and illusion. He naturally revealed in front of the camera, true and false, false and true, everything was no longer important, and everything became unprecedented. to be precise.
The mouth is full of bitterness and the body is tired, and the fake is mistaken for the real, but he doesn't care, forgets about it, and enjoys it..
It wasn't until today that Renly truly realized the higher level of performance.
