1687 Calm and relaxed
There was no politeness or pleasantries, Renly sat on the red sofa, and the opening words were easily used to attract people, and the symposium immediately got to the point..
“When I was in Venice, I once said that the success of the work "Gravity" came from Alfonso Cuaron. Personally, this is a very special performance experience, and it is also I would never want to go through another performance experience again. You can imagine the pain of being put under a microscope..”
The relaxed and humorous words made the scene burst into laughter again..
“But more importantly, Alfonso presents a unique movie-watching experience through the lens. His lens itself tells the story and connotation. This is an interpretation that is beyond the scope of the actor's performance, just like Michelangelo. Chiro is painting, the compositions and colors have meaning in themselves, and the specific characters and scenes are further supplements to the ideas..”
“In this case, the performance is different.”
Before Renly could further elaborate on his point of view, someone raised his hand again. He didn't mind and nodded directly in agreement. He waited for the staff to hand over the microphone and listened to the other person's questions, "You just said , Alfonso is different from the directors you just mentioned, so what’s the difference?？”
“That's an interesting question. David Lowe, Kelly Reichardt, Alex Ross-Perry, putting aside their own directorial styles, just talking about their collaborative relationships with actors, I Thinks he is somewhat similar to Tony Kaye.”
“What they capture is the emotions of the actors. Although the director has the absolute initiative in their works, their ideas and concepts still need to be expressed by the actors. This also makes the actors have to be deeply involved in the performance process. In that mood, every detail of the emotional transition is presented. This is different from Alfonso.”
“From my personal understanding, Tony Kaye and others need actors to step forward and highlight the weight and temperature of the lens language according to their ideas; while Alfonso Cuaron needs actors to step back and become part of the lens. , and then he will complete the creation of the entire lens language.”
“This also means that actors’ understanding and presentation of performances will inevitably need to change..”
Renly liked this kind of conversation, and it was the same with Rooney Mara, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jessica Chastain. In those collisions and running-in, more ideas were unearthed, Then in the process of their own performances, they confirm each other and make progress. Each work is an opportunity for growth, which also makes the self in each period inevitably different..
The content and angle of Renly's conversations are bound to be different from those before "Gravity", before "The Ballad of Drunkenness", and even before "Interstellar"..
The participants at today’s symposium are all professionals. Even if they are not directly related to the film industry such as directors, screenwriters, actors or producers, they are at least senior film lovers who have their own understanding and reading of movies. , which also caused Renly's conversation to stir up ripples, and one could clearly detect the rising enthusiasm in the audience..
With a crash, a large number of arms were raised throughout the venue, like a vast forest..
Renly made a gesture of wiping his sweat and joked to himself, "Why do I have a bad feeling?" But the movement in his hand did not stop, and he named a questioner among the crowd..
“Renly, what I want to say is that it can be seen from your works that you have different understandings and different presentations of performance. I am still deeply impressed by the 'detached' performance..”
“I always think that 'Detachment' is your best performance. It has a different impact than 'Crazy Love', but it can leave more aftertaste and reflection. Just like what you said, Tony -Kaye is a director who pays more attention to capturing emotions, leaving more space for the audience to respond. On the contrary, it is 'gravity'. I personally feel that the space for subsequent reflection is limited..”
“So, how do you feel about it?？”
“I mean, what's your personal favorite performance? Also, which work do you feel the most regretful about? If you could do it over again, how would you perform it? Also, what are the reasons for liking and regretting?？”
There was no self-introduction or social politeness. The other party went straight to the topic as soon as he came up, which once again demonstrated the professional attitude of today's symposium..
“Wow, this is a very specific and huge question." Renly adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "When I usually read those interviews, the actors always say, we love every one of ourselves. role, and the best performance is always the next time. Although this is a polite way of saying it, it is also true. Because acting is never an easy task, actors are more inferior and more uneasy than they appear on the surface. We need More confidence and more expectations for the future.”
“However, even the fingers have different lengths, and we naturally have preferences. Those who say that all characters love each other are all lies to themselves and others." Renly's honesty made the audience burst into laughter, and even more echoes were heard on the Internet. a positive response：
“Well done, young master！”
“Well done, young master！”
“Well done, young master！”
There was a collective swipe in the YouTube live channel, and there was even more applause on Twitter..
Renly was not aware of the uproar he had caused, and continued, "Personally, the most regrettable work is 'I Fight Cancer'’.”
“This is a light comedy work. In the story, the pain and torture of cancer are indeed shown, even scary, but the focus of the script is the ups and downs of mentality and changes in life. The whole work is relatively relaxed and humorous. , hoping to show Adam's positivity and optimism after his hard work, and to show an attitude towards life..”
“Seth Rogen is an excellent comedian and he did his job well; but unfortunately, my performance was still too serious and too devoted, so that the whole tone was too deep and there were many scenes. The presentation of both destroys the overall lightness of the work, and the final effect is disappointing..”
“Of course, if you look at the style of my performance and work separately, there is no problem, but when combined together, it seems contradictory and somewhat out of place. Either look at the accident of cancer in a relaxed manner; Face the impact of life with a serious and solemn attitude. Obviously, my self-assertion destroyed the integrity of the work..”
“I have always emphasized that I hope to try comedy works. From a certain point of view, this is one of the reasons why I was not able to relax and immerse myself in it..”
When he starred in "I'm Fighting Cancer", Renly was still too immature and inexperienced to completely get rid of Chu Jiashu's past. The sense of substitution of Method acting made him fall into a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself. Looking back now It seems that there is nothing wrong with his performance, but it is not suitable for this work. On the contrary, it is not as good as the original version of the previous Joseph Gordon-Levitt..
As he just said, the cooperation between actors and directors is also an important factor in the success of the work..
Ethan and Robert, who were sitting in the audience, exchanged glances, with a mixture of surprise and surprise in their eyes..
Although Renly always emphasized that he was unprepared for anything - and the actual situation seemed to be the same; Renly always had a calm and calm attitude, and was able to face all problems and all situations with ease. On the one hand, Because of the broad mind, and on the other hand because of the calm atmosphere, the demeanor and grace displayed by every gesture truly reveal the style of everyone..
This is really rare！
Before this, Robert was more or less worried. It wasn't that he didn't believe Renly - Renly's acting talent and talent were absolutely undoubted, but after all, Renly was still too young. He knew how to perform, but he didn't necessarily know how. Teaching and discussion are very fatal shortcomings for symposiums.
But now it seems that their worries are unfounded..
Joel, who was sitting in the middle, noticed the gazes on the left and right, and lowered his voice and said, "I told you." He had already said that there was no need to worry about Renly. Renly's pride and confidence were not castles in the air, his heritage was , his strength, his understanding, these can withstand the test.
The corners of Robert's and Ethan's mouths both turned upward, and they retracted their gazes and looked at the stage again..
“And so far, my personal favorite performance is undoubtedly the 'Drunken Country Ballad'." As soon as Renly finished speaking, there was a roar of boos on the scene, and Renly himself chuckled, "Okay, I must admit. , that’s why I chose this work because the director was there.”
The booing immediately turned into roars of belly laughter. Joel clapped his hands and started laughing, while Ethan shook his head in confusion..
“‘"The Ballad of Drunken Country" is a special work. It presents a kind of life state of LeVine Davis, and it is also the life state of countless dream chasers. Not only in the 1960s, but even now, There are still countless Le'Veon Davis living around us, even here in front of us.”
“When playing Le'Veon Davis, the resonance and empathy are irreplaceable. I must admit that during the performance, many times I thought that was me, and that depressed album was ' "Don Quixote". Joel and Ethan captured the real details of my life, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, which also made the performance full of more personal things..”
“To this day, I can still recall the light and noise in the kerosene lamp bar. They are there and have never and will not disappear. My love for this work is personal. The entire performance is unforgettable. I guess I have to marvel at the vibe that Joel and Ethan captured that still lingers in Greenwich Village.”
