014 meet the challenge
Standing under the shower head in the bathroom, the warm hot water washes away the tired muscles. The long day is finally over, and it also means that a new day is about to begin..
“"Pacific War", this work is a sibling of "Band of Brothers", but the focus is slightly different..
“"Band of Brothers" focuses on describing the cruelty of war, and uses the experience of a company of soldiers to show the revolutionary friendship between soldiers and the ups and downs of the entire World War II. Among them, the reality of the Normandy landing has become the masterpiece of the entire work, and is praised as exceeding "Saving Private Ryan" is shocking. The theme of "I am not a hero, I fight side by side with heroes" is even more exciting..
"Pacific War" focuses on describing the impact of the war. The series is connected by three characters, Eugene-B-Slegde and John-Basilone. and Robert-Leckie, these three are real people in real life. The entire series is adapted from the memoirs of Eugene and Robert. The main line of the war revolves around the three people, showing all aspects The impact on all aspects of their lives aims to show the profound impact of World War II on every independent individual, every single family, and even the entire social state..
Renly is about to play Eugene, who carries the core soul and sublimated ideas of the entire series..
In his previous life, Renly had watched "War in the Pacific" and was deeply impressed by Eugene. This is a very interesting and complex character..
He was originally a helpless young man who could not even exercise strenuously because of heart disease. However, on the battlefield, he gradually grew into a soldier with blood-stained hands and even some violent tempers. When he first stepped onto the battlefield, he When he saw corpses, he would vomit until he was full of bile, but then he watched his comrades die one after another. The struggle and difficulty of survival began to distort his beliefs, and his humanity was disappearing little by little - even if he saw howling The first reaction of a crying baby is people/meat/bombs instead of protecting the weak..
He had unswervingly believed that this war was the only way to protect his homeland from infringement, but on the battlefield he realized that even the enemies were living beings and they also had their own Family and the beliefs they want to protect. Their fight is not to protect their homeland, but to kill each other. So how did all this happen? This made him question his own faith - if God loves every one of his people, why does he allow war? If God is willing to bear the punishment of sin on everyone's behalf, then why does He have blood on his hands and does it against his will?？
The annihilation of humanity and the collapse of faith turned Eugene's world upside down. He was lucky to survive, but he hated himself because his comrades who were braver and stronger than him were forever buried on the battlefield. He was timid and cowardly, but he survived. He didn't even know how he returned to his hometown. The confusion, the pain, and the struggle were rooted in Eugene's blood..
He returned to his hometown. He persisted until the end of the war with all his limbs intact, but he did not know how to continue living. Eugene was no longer Eugene..
Among the entire series of dramas, Eugene is the most complete, full and rich character. It can almost be said that he embodies all the ambitions of the "Pacific War". In just ten episodes, he shows the fullness of life. Even compared to "Band of Brothers", the depth and height of the role of Eugene are far ahead and can be made into a movie.
Of course, this also means that the performance is more difficult than imagined..
Joseph Mazzello, a former child actor, played Eugene in the previous life. He has a fragile temperament like Bambi, which gives Eugene a special touch, and the confusion, hesitation and despair in his eyes. It is very consistent with the style of the entire series. However, Joseph's performance is a bit monotonous, without layers or depth. He was not able to show the kind of delicate changes, which invisibly weakened the core idea of the series; especially In the second half, the transition from disintegrating grandeur to heart-wrenching silence was almost completely absent. This was a major blow to the hard work of the creative team..
“After the broadcast of "Pacific War", its professional reputation was still highly praised, but the audience response was not as good as that of "Band of Brothers"”.
There are many reasons. The first is the extremely high expectations of Zhuyu. The audience's standards have been raised to a new level, and it is inevitable to compare them in all aspects. The second is the shift in the intention of the series, which has led to a change in focus. War The chemical reaction of the scene has been weakened; thirdly, the issue of the reference objects of the adaptation must also be taken into consideration. "Band of Brothers" is adapted from one book, while "Pacific War" is adapted from two different memoirs, so there is a certain degree of coherence. The impact is particularly obvious in the first half of.
Finally and most importantly, Joseph failed to interpret enough depth and failed to allow Eugene to support the soul of the entire series, which caused the sublimation of the second half of the series to come to an abrupt end, lacking the summary of "Band of Brothers" baptism.
Audiences are subjective, and the gap between the two works is enough to make them dissatisfied; film critics are objective, and have given sufficient affirmation in terms of the drama's frame, scene quality, and ideological core..
Now that the role of Eugene has been taken over by Renly, what will happen to his performance? Can he live up to expectations? Can he surpass Joseph's performance? Can he rely on the power of performance to present the ideas of the creative team? Can he light up the soul of the entire "Pacific War"?？
The overall quality of the work cannot be changed by an actor, not to mention that Renly is still a new actor without any acting experience, but the quality and intensity of the performance are the actor's responsibility, full responsibility. This is not an easy task, Strictly speaking, this is a difficult task.
Renly's blood rushed rapidly, and the excitement and excitement brought by adrenaline penetrated into his muscles, and he could not contain his excitement..
Becoming an actor has been his biggest dream and persistence since his rebirth, but everything before that was just talk on paper. Even after experiencing fragmentary performances in London's West End and Off-Broadway, he didn't know if he had enough. To become an excellent actor with talent, does he have enough ability to constantly challenge his acting skills? Not to mention the huge pressure from his family, which is so heavy that he can't breathe..
Now, the opportunity has finally come! And it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity！
Not only did Renly not feel embarrassed by the difficulty of the challenge, but he was extremely excited by the difficulty of the task. Although this was only his first official performance, he was already gearing up and eager to try..
To live his life again, he did not come here just to look forward and backward, and to be timid. He wanted to truly let go of his hands and feet, and continue to sprint to the limit without hesitation to see how much light his life could bloom. Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is like autumn. Ye Zhijingmei, he wants to follow Tagore’s footsteps to explore this journey.
After the excitement surged, Renly gradually calmed down. If he wanted to complete the challenge, it was not enough to just talk on paper. It was precisely because of the seriousness of the challenge that he needed to pay more attention. Maybe, he should go to the New York Public Library tomorrow. Let’s start with the background information from World War II.
For most actors, acting is just acting. Relying on instinct and skills is enough. But the ten years of movie-watching experience in the previous life, as well as studying at Cambridge University and the Royal Drama Theater in this life Renly's study experience at the Art Academy made him understand that performance is based on the character. Only by fully understanding the background knowledge and life experience can the performance temperament emanating from the inside out give the character a vivid reality..
This is just like the British aristocrats insisting on learning elegant art and insisting on paper books. The inner temperament is difficult to describe in words, but it is often the key to determining the essential difference..
I originally thought that I would be too excited to toss and turn, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep quickly after my head touched the pillow. Because Renly knew better than anyone else that he had been waiting for this day for his whole life, and he had already waited for this day. He has already made preparations. The only thing he needs to do now is to recharge his batteries and get ready to go..
Early mornings in New York are always extremely noisy. The roar of noisy car engines is deafening, and the noisy voices fill the entire building. At the same time, it is also accompanied by the wail of struggling and moaning water pipes. There is a trace of vitality in it. Impatient.
He slept comfortably until half past ten. If it weren't for the fact that he had plans today, he would have stayed in bed and slept until the end of the world. Today, Renly planned to go to the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild to inquire. Check out the next itinerary of "Pacific War" to understand the specific situation, and then go to the library to check the information. Renly doesn't know how the TV series crew and movie crew operate, and how the actors' preparations are carried out. As a As a newbie, he can only rely on his own understanding and be as prepared as possible before entering the crew.
After washing and cleaning up, he opened the refrigerator and browsed up and down, but didn't find much food. Then he remembered that he hadn't been to the supermarket for a while, and now it seemed that Chris had forgotten about it. After rummaging around, I picked up an apple, stuffed it into my mouth, closed the refrigerator door and prepared to leave..
“Wait." Chris opened the door, holding a T-shirt in his hand and hurriedly putting on his shoes, "Wait, are you going to the Screen Actors Guild now? Me too.”
Renly raised his eyebrows, showing a puzzled look. Chris explained casually, "I'll go over and see what's going on.".”
Renly didn't think much about it. It seemed that Chris had been bored at home for two months. He probably couldn't wait any longer. He waved and said neatly, "Follow me.".”
Chris put on his shoes and stalked after him. Then he saw the apple in Renly's hand, "...This is the apple I bought, right? I'll get one too..”
“This is the last one." Renly said calmly, and by the way, he took a big bite of the red apple, and the crisp sound was particularly crisp..
Chris stood nearby, his head covered with black lines.
