1573 accept things as they come
Jessica's expression is a little weird.
Renly's performance just now cannot be said to be perfect, and there is still room for improvement in the control of details, but the entire performance was completed in one go, perfectly integrating the emotions and plot, and the characters and foreshadowing also resonated inadvertently. This is definitely a show A rare performance, but Christopher asked to do it again? This isn't quite right.
No, to be precise, Christopher's request is normal, because directors always try to find a more perfect existence in repeated filming. For them, there is no best, only better, not to mention Christopher He is a director who values the picture more than the performance. It is normal to sacrifice some details for the sake of the picture..
But Renly's reaction was not normal..
According to Jessica's understanding, Renly is not this kind of obedient baby. Even if the director is correct, Renly will put forward his own opinions and find the most suitable model during the discussion; however, Renly just did this Simply nodded and agreed? This is really weird！
“What's wrong? "Annie's whispering words of inquiry came to my ears..
Jessica hid her doubts, shook her head, raised her chin and pointed to the front. Because the filming started again, the studio became quiet again..
Renly once again finished filming the next scene：
Donald stopped Cooper who was about to leave and mentioned the parent-teacher meeting. Cooper's footsteps stopped, then he slowly turned around and faced Donald sideways..
The slightly hesitant expression showed a touch of loss. He seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and seemed to be deeply involved in his own emotions. The blank and lost loneliness seemed to disappear into the vast expanse of space before he had time to do so. In the sunshine, only a blurry outline of the face remained.
“Card！”
Christopher called a timeout, but the studio fell into a brief silence. No one spoke, everyone was waiting for Christopher's order..
Jessica tasted it carefully again. To be honest, Renly's expression was still wonderful, but it had a long lingering aftertaste. The flash of his eyes quietly merged with the sunlight behind the door, and the picture outlined a thrilling scene. If the photographer can adjust the angle and present it with perfect composition, this is definitely a picture worthy of being made into a poster. Even a still picture cannot hide the loneliness in the eyes..
But... there is always a but, I always feel that something is missing, or that there is something extra..
“There are too many emotions." After thinking carefully, the answer came to Jessica's mind.
After realizing the answer, Jessica was so excited that she almost wanted to cheer and scream. However, because the filming on the set was still in progress, Jessica endured it and couldn't help clenching her hands into fists. , suppress your excitement and excitement.
The second version is very good, everything is fine, but the overall mood is a little too much, and it seems to be presented to the audience frankly: there is still a lot to value in the relationship between Cooper and his children, and the story between Cooper and his wife. This leaves room for imagination. If Jessica’s original idea is followed, this performance method is undoubtedly the best choice..
However, now Jessica somewhat understands what Renly means: This kind of performance will indeed make the audience think, but will it distract the audience's attention and affect the clean and concise main line of the entire movie? This is open to question and may even affect the viewing effect..
Of course, the premise is that Christopher's creative ideas are consistent with Renly's understanding and expression. If Christopher's ideas are consistent with Jessica's, then Renly's performance will be insufficient; but the other way around……
Involuntarily, Jessica also began to think deeply, weighing the two performance methods and the different viewing experiences they brought. This is really an interesting thing - the detail control of the performance can reach such a level, it is really amazing, even It has an impact on the entire picture and story..
“Renly's performance control is really outstanding." Anne's muttered exclamations came from her ears. Seeing is better than hearing. Only by experiencing it on the spot can you understand. It is really difficult to express it accurately in words..
Jessica leaned slightly and whispered in her ear, "'Exploding Drummer' is even more amazing.”
Anne's eyes widened, "Really?" Then she covered her mouth, lowered her voice again, and whispered, "I was really looking forward to that work before, and Renly would never pick it casually. works. So you’re saying, really?？”
Jessica nodded excitedly, but did not continue to say more, but gave a look: We will talk during the break..
During this short period of time, Christopher thought carefully and finally made a decision, "Renly, very good, very good, but can you do it again? At a slightly different angle..”
“No problem! "Renly agreed without any complaints or protests..
Such a good cooperative attitude made the crew look at each other: Could it be that Renly has heard about the recent negative news in the industry and is now ready to restore his image?？
But this was still not the end. Christopher repeatedly switched angles and took five shots before and after. Finally he stood there, raised his left hand, supported his chin, and said doubtfully, "I think the first time is the best." ." After saying that, he looked at Renly helplessly and strangely, as if he was exploring what was going on..
Jessica immediately stretched out her hands, sat upright, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is what I said! Look, I said it!" After shouting, Jessica realized that her Excited, he nodded and apologized to everyone, leaned back on the chair again, turned to Anne and whispered, "The first time is obviously the best choice, Renly's control and performance are so outstanding..”
Annie showed a playful smile, "Oh? Personally, I prefer it the second time..”
Jessica couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Anne had not participated in the discussion between her and Renly just now. Her original thoughts were the same as Anne's, but when did it change? Wasn't she still skeptical just now? Why did you suddenly change your mind?？
As her thoughts turned over and over again, Jessica suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood: It turned out that this was Renly's plan.！
Christopher is not a director with a deep understanding of performance. He can capture and adjust the performance based on his own intuition, but he may not be able to issue instructions clearly and accurately. If Renly just throws out all his ideas like this, he will not be professional. With guidance from an academic perspective, Christopher may not be able to understand immediately, and may even become more and more confused. Instead, he may fall into a vicious cycle of talking about chickens and ducks..
So, Renly adopted a simpler and more efficient method: present it directly, and then let Christopher choose. On the one hand, Renly can interpret what he wants; on the other hand, Christopher can also choose what he wants. , this exchange improves communication efficiency and lays the foundation for subsequent shooting..
More importantly, Renly presents the gap between several other performance methods, thereby highlighting the first performance method, completing the guidance quietly, implying that Christopher makes a choice that is in line with Renly's ideas..
cunning guy！
Jessica finally understood it now. No wonder Renly was so well-behaved today. It turned out that the real plan was hidden here, which unknowingly led everyone into the ditch - even she now truly understood it for the first time. After hearing the theory Renly mentioned before, he blurted out, "The first time is best."”.
This guy... Jessica shook her head helplessly, and then she saw Anne next to her, with a confused but interested expression on her face. She seemed to be waiting for an answer. She let out a long breath, Jessica Just start explaining.
At the same time, Renly was explaining the ins and outs to Christopher, including his understanding of the core of the script, the main line of the story, the sublimation of ideas, and his conception of the character's interpretation..
Christopher was always listening carefully, and then frowned slightly, "To put it simply, you want to keep the performance in, right?？”
It's really... a simple and crude interpretation, but objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this understanding..
“Yes! "Renly gave the answer straightforwardly..
Christopher understood everything Renly said, but when it came to the specific details of the performance, his concept became blurred: What kind of performance is prone to being too sensational? What kind of performance is likely to mislead the audience? What performances might drag? All of this does not have an accurate concept.
However, the performance Renly just presented is the best example, showing the difference intuitively. This is a new experience for Christopher. There is a difference when there is a comparison. The superiority and inferiority are clear at a glance, and the context in his mind changes. Gotta get clearer.
“Personally, I feel that the first version is the best. If you think this is the performance style that is most suitable for the movie, then do it this way." Christopher made the decision without any psychological burden..
Renly didn't explain too much, just nodded and agreed. Working with Christopher is different from Alfonso Cuaron, Damien Chazelle and others. Now he is also adjusting and adjusting. Of course, Overall, there are obvious differences between commercial film performances and artistic works..
Now, Christopher can accept Renly's acting style. Regardless of the means, the two have indeed found a tacit understanding. Renly's small trial has achieved good results, which is a good thing. At least it shows that Christopher has no objection to this method of cooperation..
Christopher didn't want to get too involved in the details of the performance, he just wanted to get a result suitable for the movie; Renly also agreed with this, and from a certain perspective, they could be considered to have reached a consensus..
