1468 congeniality
“What? Paramecium? Damn it! "Christopher was also furious at Renly's accusation. In a panic, he blurted out rude words like this, "You are the first one to accuse my movie of being Paramecium! Damn it! Are you sure you are watching my movie? my script？”
Facing the furious Christopher in front of him, Renly still looked unhurried. During the quarrel, such a posture and expression really made the other party more and more angry - he had already jumped, but the other party was still like that He looks so calm and collected, it's really annoying！
“If I haven't watched your movie or read your script, but now I can understand all your core ideas clearly, then if this is not Paramecium, what is it? "If there was a course in college that said, "You're not going to pay for your life," Renly's GPA would have been outstanding..
At this time, Renly was still sitting calmly on the chair, with his right leg on his left knee, neat clothes, mellow coffee, and a smiling expression. There was not even a trace of sweat on his forehead..
But Christopher looked embarrassed and emotional. His slicked back hair was messy and hung down. He was sweating so much that his tennis shirt was soaked through. There were large patches of dark hair under his armpits and back..
“You...you are using strong words to make sense! "Christopher is also a little short of words. He is not a person who is good at debating. This can be seen from the debut film "Following". What's more, there are not many actors in Hollywood who dare to say so to Christopher..
But Christopher still did not give up, "I am not saying to give up philosophical speculation, but I think there is no need to deepen it! It is just too cumbersome.！”
“Too cumbersome or just not possible? "Renly's retort hit Christopher hard like an arrow, "Stanley Kubrick did not cram a lot of lines into '2001: A Space Odyssey'. On the contrary, he deliberately streamlined his lines. Rather, the philosophical thinking is conveyed through the editing and connection of the pictures. It will not be too cumbersome and does not need to be too cumbersome, because the construction process of these pictures is the process of philosophical thinking.！”
“How? "Christopher replied straight away. When he is extremely excited and impulsive, his thinking ability will also be affected..
“I don't know." Renly's answer was crisp and clear, "I'm not the director, how do I know?？”
“But you are not a screenwriter, so why was the discussion so heated just now? "Christopher also showed his perseverance and pursuit..
Renly shrugged, "Why not through flashbacks? For example, Cooper's mind repeatedly replayed the image of Murphy running in front, or the image of Murphy wearing red rain boots treading water, and then Otherwise, it’s the scene of Murphy holding a pencil and drawing seriously. I mean, it’s just a small detail, but it becomes the most important concern..”
“For Murphy, she can take another approach. Encounter a book, or see a certain behavior of a middle-aged man, or encounter a familiar scene at work. , or it could be that the small movements created by Cooper in the five-dimensional space were really imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't help but think of her father again. And so on..”
“Murphy is different from Cooper. Cooper is trapped in space. He can only rely on memory flashbacks, but Murphy is still on the earth, and her life can still be full of hints and associations. Even Cooper is in the fifth dimension. What you do in space can also cause the butterfly effect.”
“Through these two different montage connection methods, the maintenance and bonds of family love are presented. More importantly, the dislocation of time is emphasized - Cooper's memory is always the scene of Murphy's childhood, but Murphy has grown up. Big, in Murphy's eyes, what she saw was the image of her father sent back from space..”
“What I mean is that, without affecting the rhythm of the plot, without affecting the commercial properties of the film, after amplifying the power of time to the extreme, it deepens the emotional connection through the performances of the two actors. As for how to compose the picture, how to Speculation, what kind of spiritual reflection those pictures reveal, this is the director's job.”
Renly's speech was not fast, and he always maintained a special rhythm and rhythm, which was clear and layered..
This time, Christopher did not interrupt, but listened carefully, carefully considered the feasibility, and then further considered the composition of the picture..
Objectively speaking, picture composition is not Christopher's strong point. Strong imagination, spatial deconstruction and time linearity are. In this aspect, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve has the potential to become one of the greats..
2010In 2018's "Scorched Earth", Dennis' camera temperament has already been revealed. This year, he collaborated with Jake Gyllenhaal in two works, "Enemy" and "Prisoners", which has reached a higher level; after this , the three works of "Sicario", "Arrival" and "Blade Runner 2049" are step by step, moving quickly towards the path of the master..
However, Dennis's shortcomings are also very obvious: rhythm control. For the sake of the poetry and core elaboration of the picture, he often has to sacrifice his own narrative rhythm. This point runs through all his works, and it has also become his greater success in business. The shackles of many achievements. And this is precisely Christopher's advantage..
As people say, it is already very difficult just to explore the limits at the commercial level or the artistic level. Not every director can find the key to creation; let alone the balance between business and art. Finding balance is an eternal problem.
Renly is an actor. He is responsible for expressing his understanding and opinions, but all of this is limited to talking on paper. In the actual combat stage, he is a complete rookie. The director's job is definitely not as simple as imagined; now watching Christopher fall into As he was thinking about it, Renly didn't bother him..
Christopher's expressions are very exciting, sometimes he is excited and sometimes depressed, sometimes excited and sometimes confused, and he seems to have endless fun even in a one-man show by himself..
But in the end, Christopher let out a long breath, "No, this won't work. Do you know how difficult it is to construct a shot? It's not just as simple as depth of field and composition, every character, every accessory, and every detail exists. The meaning of.”
“When we were filming "Inception", we spent countless efforts to conceive the totem of each person after entering the dream, as well as all the scenes in the dream. In fact, Jonathan and I originally hoped to be able to make the dream The scene is also set up to be more meaningful, but this requires taking into account psychology, philosophy, history, culture, etc., and it is not that easy..”
“I remember that after the movie came out, some critics said that the entire movie of 'Inception' was based on a fantastic idea, but as a director, he still relied too much on the text and failed to draw out the deep meaning of the shots. I At that time, I scolded the film critic in front of Emma. I was making a commercial film, not Shakespeare..”
“But... now I understand a little bit. What you mean is that through the setting of some screen content, there is no need to change the script or too much cumbersomeness, and the director's thoughts can be conveyed through the lens, is this what you mean, right?？”
As he spoke, Christopher looked up at Renly and cast a questioning look..
Renly deliberately made a "sudden realization" look, "Oh, you are talking to me? Because you looked like you were talking to yourself just now..." Christopher rolled his eyes speechlessly, Lan Li did not continue joking, "Yes, that's what I mean. I know that this is a very difficult, complex and profound subject, but... Mr. Nolan.”
“chris.”
“……"Kris," Renly paused, then nodded casually and changed his title..
“I always think that the reason why you took on the project of "Interstellar" is that you hope to explore more in the film, and at the same time, you also pursue more on the artistic level of the director..
I always believe that the reason why movies are called the director's art does not lie in the script or the actors. Even the story must take a back seat. Pictures and lenses are the most important, including scheduling, composition, editing, and setting. Wait, this is the most artistic directorial work.”
Faced with Renly's words, Christopher neither criticized nor affirmed, but chuckled, "According to what you mean, Michael Bay is also an excellent director.？”
“Personally, I still like 'The Island' and 'Transformers' very much." Renly replied in the affirmative..
Christopher thought about it seriously, but found that he had no way to refute it. People can complain that Michael Bay is still a three-dimensional person, but they cannot deny that he is still the best in the industry in terms of camera scheduling and explosion scenes..
As a result, Christopher burst into laughter and nodded in agreement. Now he finally understood why people in the industry always emphasized, "Renly is an actor with ideas."”.
Renly's interpretation of performances, characters, core, etc. is indeed unique; more importantly, Renly has his own profound analysis of the correlation between characters and plot, which is crucial to the integrity of the film. , is irreplaceable. In the process of cooperation between directors and actors, different sparks can often be produced..
Christopher even believes that even if Renly works with a director like James Cameron who emphasizes visual effects and deemphasizes actors, he can still interpret his own characteristics..
Just like "Fast and Furious 5".
“Do you have any special ideas if you were cast as Cooper? "Christopher mentioned it for the first time today..
