1567 Return to simplicity
Jessica immediately understood what Renly meant. Maybe she was not a talented actor, but her diligence and understanding were unquestionable. In just a short conversation, she was able to combine Renly's ideas with her own understanding. , however, this was different from her own understanding. She did not choose to agree blindly because the person who made the remarks was Renly, but thought about it seriously..
“So, why? Jessica frowned slightly, "Why is the bond between Cooper and Murphy so deep?"？”
“Because they are father and daughter." Renly said simply and neatly. Even though he had just explained a lot, Jessica still came back. This is not unusual. It cannot be said to be cutting edge, but everyone has their own point of view. In the process of communication, this closed cycle needs to be broken in order to discover new things..
Jessica shook her head, as if shaking off the flies around her, "I know, I know. You mean, we should delete this part. But... won't the audience feel confused? Why library Must Po come back? Just because he is the father? This reason is too simple and far-fetched..”
“The point is, the movie focuses on Cooper's desire to go home, not why he longs to go home. What he needs to awaken is his inner desire for the warmth of home." Renly answered seamlessly..
Jessica shook her head repeatedly, and even raised her right hand and swung it in sync to further strengthen her meaning..
“You don't understand what I mean. I mean, if you just stop here, there is no problem; but if the reasons can be further explained and the bond between the characters can be further explained and performed, then the quality of the finished product will be further improved. , the sensory experience it brings to the audience is also different. Just like 'Gravity', it was originally just a masterpiece, but it became a masterpiece because of your performance and interpretation..”
“Thank you." During the heated argument, Renly had the time to express his gratitude. Jessica couldn't help but be slightly stunned, while Timothy sitting next to him couldn't help but chuckle. Renly continued without pausing. continued, "But the image styles of 'Gravity' and 'Interstellar' are completely different..”
“First, 'Gravity' focuses all the lenses on Ryan Stone. His performance must reveal more, otherwise the film's connotation will not match the majestic image style, but will It's too thin; but "Interstellar" focuses all its lenses on the long river of time, using the long river of time as the main line to focus on many characters. All the characters are making their debut, and digging too deeply into emotions will become a burden..”
Before Renly finished speaking, Jessica tried to interrupt and cut into her own words - she is also an actor with a strong and exposed personality, and it is absolutely impossible to be easily persuaded. This is also her acting style, "But ...but actors cannot lower their requirements like this……”
Renly was not disturbed at all. He cut off Jessica's words again and continued..
“Secondly, Alfonso Cuarón and Christopher Nolan are two directors with completely different styles. Although Alfonso’s shots are famous for their majestic atmosphere, the shifting of the shots is still focused on characters; while Chris’s shots are The scene is the main one, and the characters are only part of the composition. Have you thought about it? If your performance is too detailed and cumbersome, and digs too deep into emotions, can the camera capture it?？”
Not only is it not possible, but it may become a burden to the picture. It is like a piece of white paper suddenly getting creases or scratches. On the surface, it does not seem to destroy the overall sense, but in the end it still reveals a faint sense of discomfort..
Jessica opened her mouth and tried to refute again, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped, and then she began to think seriously..
It is true that every actor has his or her own style and characteristics, even the vase is no exception; but in the final analysis, the actor is still a part of the movie, and he or she needs to become a pawn in the hands of the director, giving the actors the same care and attention as Alfonso did More room for free play, or cutting off extra branches as much as possible like Christopher did, but no matter what the method is, the result is to make the movie more complete.
Different paths to the same destination.
This is a sign that Renly is gradually maturing. He is still the self-centered actor who is willing to risk his own life for the role and performance; however, if necessary, he can also sacrifice his own light for the sake of the film as a whole and achieve the integrity of the film. .No longer immersed in one's own world in order to study and improve acting skills..
From this perspective, the transformation and progress of "Explosive Drummer" are far more than imagined..
Timothy, who was sitting next to him, always wanted to join the conversation, but after all, he was still a little timid and shy. He hesitated several times, but still couldn't speak. After suddenly falling into silence, Timothy took a deep breath and mustered up his courage. Finally spoke, "Renly, what do you mean... ahem, I mean, do you mean that we only need to show the family affection part, and leave the reasons and stories to the audience to think for themselves?？”
Jessica was still deep in thought, but she still shook her head slightly and answered on Renly's behalf, "No, Renly means, don't even leave those blank spaces." After a moment, Jesse then answered. Ka then raised his head and looked at Renly, and said with some urgency.：
“Can I understand that the core idea of the movie is the relationship between time and emotion. In other words, time is the purest thing, and emotion correspondingly needs to remain in its most original state.：
Family love, family love without any strings attached, allows the audience to focus all their attention on thinking about this philosophical issue without being distracted by other issues, right?？”
“Yes." Renly gave the answer without any hesitation. Jessica is indeed an excellent actor, and her ability to understand the characters and the script is admirable..
For Renly, this is the result of his repeated thinking over the past two months; while for Jessica, it is the result extracted from a short conversation. If he does not have a deep enough understanding of the script, understanding and thinking deeply, it is impossible for her to react so quickly.
Renly then added, "What we need to pay attention to is that after the time folding of the wormhole, for Cooper, he still misses Murphy, and he gradually begins to realize that he may not be able to go back. This sadness and pain stem from this; but for Murphy at the same time, she has experienced vicissitudes of life, growing from a little girl to a woman, has her longing for her father faded because of the passage of time?？”
“This alone is enough for the audience to chew on, not to mention, the contrast between Tom and Murphy further deepens this thinking. But if the movie further explores the reasons for the bond, the rhythm and picture will lose their original meaning. It's pure. Chris hopes that the discussion is about time, not emotion." After going around in circles, Renly returned to the original words, but the similar content now had a different flavor..
Jessica did not continue to speak, still thinking deeply.
Renly did not disturb Jessica, but turned to look at Timothy, and then at MacKenzie, "As for our performance, I think you can think about it for yourself, how do you get along with your father? Yes, those details in the script can give you inspiration for your performance, and you can construct the details of your relationship with your father, and then we can have a good conversation..”
“Just like Murphy, what you and your father have in common is your love of science. You are willing to often discuss astronomy and geography, but other than that? How do you get along with your father? What are your own habits? You can find material from your own life, or you can find inspiration from scripts..”
“And Tom, at the age of fifteen, he is officially in the rebellious period of adolescence. What do you think of your father? Like it or hate it? You don’t need to think too deeply. You can completely interpret the real emotions in real life and simply construct the relationship model and the psychology of teenagers. That’s it..”
First it was Mackenzie, and then Timothy. Renly simply expressed his thoughts. His discussion with Jessica was a bit cumbersome. He didn't want the two young people to confuse his thoughts. After the filming officially started , became at a loss what to do.
Timothy immediately understood and nodded, "I understand what you mean, we just need to express the conventional image of family in people's minds, and that's it. This is an ordinary family, they love each other deeply, But they also have their own contradictions. Those contradictions are not important. What is important is that at the end of the story, they are still a family that loves each other deeply, right?？”
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, that's it..”
Jessica's brows were still slightly furrowed. She already understood what Renly meant, but she was not the type to follow what others said. She still needed to figure it out on her own. If necessary, she also needed to communicate with Christopher about the role. And performance has further self-understanding.
Renly's thoughts are ultimately Renly's thoughts, and Jessica's thoughts are Jessica's thoughts. They are two independent individuals, and their performance methods are naturally different..
However, the controversy can be put aside for the time being. Jessica felt that she did have different opinions on the script and story. At the same time, she also had new ideas about acting and directing. She looked at Renly again with a smile. , "In this case, are you sure you're not just being lazy? Why do I feel like I'm losing money? I should strive for more pay.！”
If the content and power of the performance are weakened and returned to simplicity, things will become much easier for an actor of Renly's level. It is indeed lazy..
Renly did not argue, but smiled lightly and said calmly, "Aren't all the efforts we made in the past just for the comfort of the future?？”
