2152 Character charm
Ogos watched Renly quietly. He could feel the huge system behind Renly's entire topic. The content itself did not have much unique meaning, but it was able to explain the ins and outs of the entire story in a clear and coherent manner, starting from the root. Then it will grow into a towering tree, which is very rare..
“So have you ever taken a course in screenwriting? Or a directing course?？”
The curiosity in Ogus's mind grew like weeds, and then he couldn't hold it back, and the question popped up suddenly - when the question came out, Ogus could detect the abnormality, but his eyes were still open. Can't help but stare at Renly with sparkling eyes, waiting for Renly's answer.
“……”Renly also opened his mouth slightly in a rare moment: This is not the point, okay? But looking at Ogus's eyes, he knew that this weirdo was serious, so he suppressed his surprise and responded seriously.：
“No, I just started thinking from the role. As you said, this society is very complex. There must be reasons for the formation of each person, and everyone can become a mirror of this society. If we hope If the story is simple, then a bifurcated script is the best choice; but if you want the story to be more complicated, then every character is crucial. I have not studied screenwriting courses, I am just an actor - and a thinking content Some overly diverse actors.”
Ogus pursed his lips slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He did not express his position, but changed the topic, "Then after completing the setting according to your ideas, how will you arrange the role of David?？”
“Depending on the background setting of the entire story, different people may have different reactions. Some people still believe in love, but choose to hide themselves and obey the system; some people refuse to believe in love and plan everything by rules and regulations, and so on, undoubtedly, Human nature is complex.”
“But the more complex the story setting, the simpler the character motivations need to be, so that the complexity can be reflected, just like more colors can appear on a white canvas. Therefore, I think David’s setting should be simplified , allowing viewers to apply more color after watching the movie.”
“David believes in love, he believes in love purely and firmly, even a little stupid, which makes him incompatible with the entire social system - because most people are used to the existing system, his persistence has become a joke, The result is: He can't find anyone more and more.”
“But according to regulations, after the age of eighteen, if you don’t have a partner, you must go to a hotel. So David’s brother found a pretend partner for him. The two got married, but never had children, so they spent time with each other. Many years. One day, his wife chose to leave——”
“As for the reason for leaving, I think it can be set, but since the script cannot reflect it, it may not have much impact. For example, she left for love. She fell in love with someone like a moth to a flame and left the world for him. Wei, but ended up being abandoned and then transformed into an animal.”
“These are negotiable and can be added or not added, but after adding it, I think you can reveal one or two sentences in the script, which will make it more interesting; but if you don’t add it, it will actually have no impact. Anyway, she left David.”
At this point, Ogus interrupted Renly, "Why do you think she left David for love? Not for other reasons.？”
“This is the role setting." Renly showed a big smile, "If she chooses to leave for love, this will be more inspiring for David, an idealist, and it will also make him refuse to compromise. ——Look, even though David’s brother failed to find a partner after the divorce and failed to go to the hotel, and was turned into a dog, he still refused to compromise and was sent to the hotel without finding true love. This Undoubtedly an interesting development. More importantly……”
“More importantly, he later learned that his ex-wife had also been transformed into an animal. This was another reversal. So should he believe in love or not? "The second half of the sentence was picked up by Ogus himself..
In fact, Ogos was still not convinced by Renly - he was a very, very stubborn person, but Renly's sincere discussion still moved him. This is why he took the initiative to invite Renly to tell him about his settings. I wanted to hear Renly's thoughts, but I didn't expect：
With Renly's words, Ogus's thoughts were opened up bit by bit. Now he finally understood the meaning of love, simplified David's role, and then derived different possibilities from this simple starting point. David's Brother and David’s ex-wife, they can all become different reflections of this society, and ultimately become trigger points for the audience to think..
Putting aside Ogoth's prejudice against Renly, what is certain is that Renly is indeed a very good actor.——
As he just said, the ability to analyze a character from an actor's perspective, and then extend the branches from this character to the entire story background and social framework to construct an entire blueprint is enough to surprise the director; of course , Renly's idea is not necessarily accurate, nor is it necessarily perfect. This is why Renly proposed the idea and then discussed it with the director. He threw out inspiration and let the director think about it together. This has been the problem for countless actors. A height that he will never be able to reach in his lifetime..
However, there is one thing that Oggoth still doesn’t quite understand: how Renly plans to use David to connect the hotel and the forest, and finally reflect it on society.？
This is a framework issue, not just a character issue. So, how can Renly get a glimpse of the whole situation from the perspective of the character?？
Just now, Ogus couldn't help but take over Renly's topic and expressed his own opinions. The storm of inspiration in his mind couldn't stop at all..
“Or maybe she left David for money, because family is a product of the system, so the combination of interests is normal. However, she found that being with David was more restrictive, so she began to rethink the definition of love. ? Even returned to look for David to get back together？”
“No, no, no, this is too simple and cliched, and the core of the entire theme is based on love, which shouldn't be like this. Do you think we should set up the role of David's ex-wife? Let his ex-wife come to the hotel and try to get back together with David? Or maybe look for love here again？”
These were all what Ogus was saying to himself. In the last sentence, he raised his eyes and looked at Renly, casting a questioning look; Renly responded accordingly..
“I don’t think this is a good idea. I think it’s best for the ex-wife to still be hidden in the dialogue and leave it to the audience to think. But I think it can be set because the entire system and society does not exclude third parties, whether they are Marriage or divorce, as long as it can be maintained in a relatively stable state, is allowed and even encouraged. This is also a very important addition to the background of the entire story. Therefore, it is natural that David's ex-wife leaves. , which can trigger more thinking.”
Renly's words once again cast a spark in Ogoth's mind, and he couldn't hold back his excitement..
But this time, Ogus controlled himself and waved his hands repeatedly, "The ex-wife can wait a little longer. The background extending from here is really too huge. Where did we just talk? About David？”
“"Divorce." Renly connected immediately, "As for the time when David's brother failed and was transformed into a dog, as well as the time of divorce, these settings can be further detailed and deepened. The impact of these events on David is objective. exists, but now let’s focus on David’s main plot.”
“This goes back to the words we originally discussed: David is a man who has the ability to find a partner, but why doesn’t he find one? Is it an active intention or a passive situation? According to my conception, David refuses to settle because he hopes to find love and he believes in love..”
“But unfortunately, he is an outlier, so he was not able to find one. He was sent to the hotel. In the first part, David actively searched for a partner in different blind dates, but he failed to succeed..”
“etc! Ogus interrupted Renly, "This is not in line with the setting of the hotel. According to our conception, David's behavior in the hotel is more often pretending to be part of the group. He Even found a mate, remember? It’s just that he failed to successfully pass the identification period, and then it was discovered that he was pretending..”
“Yes, that's the point." Renly nodded, "All the things we discussed earlier will not appear in the movie, so when David first appeared on the scene, he was cold and distant, and then he sensed the threat of death. , he began to take the initiative, even disguising himself. After being discovered, he chose to escape from the hotel and enter the forest. So, what is the reason for all this? This is what we want the audience to take away.”
because of love.
Ogos did not speak, but gently raised his chin. Now he finally had a glimpse of Renly's entire grand plan.：
David's setting is relatively simple: struggling for love - from the beginning to the end, and then using David as a mirror to reflect different levels of society through his struggle, including the hotel and the forest, different institutional projections Different results evolved for David. This is also the beginning and end of the story. Through David's reaction in the story, the huge content set by the screenwriter is revealed bit by bit..
This is the charm of the character！
“So, David fled into the forest," continued Ogus..
“So, David came to the forest." Renly also went on to say that this is the first part of the script; and the reason for Renly's previous objection was that the first and second parts of the script peeled off, resulting in In the end, the core idea failed to be condensed, so how should the second part be developed now?？
