2168 Peace of mind
So...did something happen just now, or was it okay? What happened between Renly and Oggoth?？
In just a few words, the staff could only capture some fragments. Most of them were observing the changes in the expressions of Renly and Ogoth, and then making up their own minds; but the problem was that they were not very familiar with Ogoth, and they didn't know much about it. I am too familiar with Renly. After all, the crew has just been formed. Now I can only speculate based on the impressions of the short time together, and then conjecture the direction of the story... Unfortunately, the fire of gossip is destined to be in vain..
Renly and Ogos turned around and returned, but they couldn't see much. It was clear that something had happened, but it seemed as if nothing had happened..
After Ogos entered the door, he went straight to the monitor to watch the replay. His face was so focused that it was difficult to tell. Renly smiled and faced the scrutinizing gaze. His frank look attracted all the probing gazes. They all avoided it, feeling guilty as a thief.
Olivia and Rachel's eyes were thoughtful, and small things really made them have to re-evaluate Renly. This rumored super star seemed a little different from what they imagined; Ben Whishaw and John C. Reilly didn't have much reaction, but his silent expression concealed rolling emotions, revealing a look of "not surprised". The expression on the old god's face was much more advanced than those who were secretly exploring..
What is certain is that "The Lobster" is not an ordinary crew.
Different people's different coping strategies gave the crew many possibilities when they encountered problems on the first day of filming; and each actor has a distinct personality, which makes the crew stand out from the crowd. At least, Renly has never experienced a crew with this style..
Bathed in the gazes of many gossips and inquiring eyes, Renly also walked towards the monitor, joined Ogus and began to watch the performance replay..
This is Renly's first challenge to a comedy film since "The Fight" - "Big Bucks" can only be regarded as a voiceover, while "The Lobster" is a European comedy film, not a noisy laugh-producing movie. point, but the irony revealed from the inside out. This is also Renly's first attempt..
Watching the video playback, Renly was also thinking carefully about whether he should keep some or let some go. He himself was not sure, and he still needed to ponder and consider. Judging from the effect of the first scene, Renly was slightly Somewhat uncomfortable：
Compared with other works, the performance given by Renly to the role of David is too calm. It is difficult to detect the emotional waves. If you are not careful, there may be no performance element, but completely reduced to a line. Repeater, it is undoubtedly more difficult for such a restrained and smooth performance to show emotional levels..
But at the same time, compared to Ogoth's other works, Renly revealed too many changes during the performance, especially the improvised lines that time, which disrupted the entire rhythm - not the rhythm of the performance but It’s the rhythm of the play. What really disrupts it is Ogus’s rhythm. No wonder Ogus can’t control his temper..
So, was Renly's performance too turbulent or too calm? These measures must be completed through communication and discussion.
Ogus watched the video playback four times, then stood there and thought quietly: If he followed his habits, this scene would be too "noisy", and those sudden emotional ups and downs would ruin the entire movie. The rhythm is like ripples suddenly appearing on a calm lake; but what Renly said just now also makes sense. He needs to communicate and discuss. Only in this way can his ideas collide with the actors..
Ogus began to think about how he would respond if this was Rachel's show？
Objectively speaking, Rachel has formed her own acting style, and rarely breaks through. Sometimes it is a bad thing, but sometimes it is also a good thing. So, what was his first reaction after Rachel's performance broke the balance? should be：
“Renly, what's the point of your performance? I just want to say that asking questions this time has broken the balance of the whole scene. Wouldn't it be too emotional? "Ogus is changing the way he thinks. It's not easy, but he is willing to try. After all, it was just prejudice before..
“I'm trying to break the rules, which is actually breaking David's life pattern." Renly could feel the change in Ogus, and he also answered seriously that from being married to being single and going to the hotel, David's life pattern was broken. , similarly, David's love pattern has also been broken, and he is trying to make an attempt. This is the part he just communicated with Ogus outside the hotel door, "On the other hand, I am trying to carve out the character, and Separate the roles of Ben and John.”
Just like Wes Anderson's movies, "Moonrise Kingdom", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", etc., almost every character is given a candy-colored weirdness, so the personality differences between characters are also Easy to blur - so his works rarely allow actors to shine.
The same is true for Ogles. The director's cold style often tends to prevail. But "The Lobster" is slightly different because the characters must avoid homogeneity in order to give the story diversity and complexity..
The three characters of Renly, Whishaw, and John are all singles who were sent here, and then each could not find a partner for different reasons; of course, the ways to solve the problem are also different. In addition to his appearance, Renly is also a Looking for differences in the character’s edges and personality traits.
“If you think it's too abrupt, I can try to tone it down more restrainedly." Renly then added, "Is it just a matter of improvising the lines? Or are there too many emotions in other parts? "In the first scene, Renly, who is eager to try, is likely to exert too much force in his excitement. This is normal..
Ogus didn't answer immediately, but thought about Whishaw's role carefully, "What's the difference you mentioned?" He needed to understand it concretely..
“John is dull and silent, while I am jerky." These are slightly similar or even similar adjectives, but if you think about them carefully, you can figure out the differences. Combined with the subsequent story clues, the character becomes obviously more vivid - according to In the previous conception, David might have been a combination of dullness and silence, but now he has a unique personality. The clear lines and edges make the character image vivid on the paper..
“Hey, don't take my job. I can also complete the performance." John Reilly put in a sentence at the right time. It seemed that he was complaining about Renly, but it was actually a joke, and then the atmosphere on the set became cheerful - before It's also slightly depressing because of the subtle atmosphere between Renly and Ogos..
Ogus ignored John, but thought deeply for a moment, "Let's shoot it again, calm down our emotions, and let's see the effect.".”
Ogos is still used to taking the initiative by himself. In the past when filming in Greece, he was able to create independently and make adjustments according to needs; now that he has left Greece, many things are different, not to mention that the partner is still Renly, Ou Gusi. Gus inevitably felt constrained.
But now Ogus is trying to calm down: "Lobster" is the first step, and there may be a second and third step in the future. At least that's what he expects. After dealing with Renly, he can also do it in the future. Gaining experience should be a good thing.
Renly didn't refute, and simply nodded in agreement, as if the exchange between the two of them alone at the door of the hotel had never happened..
The entire crew secretly exchanged glances, but they were a little disappointed with Renly and Oggoth's "respect for each other". It seemed that conflicts were about to break out, but in the end they still coexisted peacefully, and the two even started a friendly friendship calmly. Negotiation, this is really... boring.
The staff who were looking forward to watching the show were inevitably a little disappointed..
Seeing Renly back in front of her, Nancy-Onu was a little nervous and couldn't help but adjust her sitting posture slightly, "Sorry." She lowered her voice and said with an uncomfortable look, "Sorry for destroying it. Your show.I...I'm so sorry.”
Nancy is the one who plays the front desk staff. She is a black man about thirty years old. She does not have many characteristics and is easily ignored in the performance industry. Obviously, she is worried that the frightened performance she just received will lead to The conflict between Renly and Ogos is a little uneasy..
“No, no, no." Renly waved his hands with a smile, "We need to cooperate with each other. I'm ready for a surprise attack, and naturally I understand the possible consequences. Don't worry, we can just continue to find a proper rhythm for the performance..”
Nancy laughed heartily, her expression obviously relaxed. Although she didn't have stage fright, it didn't mean that she didn't know what Renly meant. "So...are you still going to follow the performance just now? Or is it the script? I what response is needed？”
Although Nancy is a little cautious, her communication is a necessary part of the opponent's play. Renly also responded seriously, "Don't worry, you can just react naturally. If I don't specifically discuss it and act on the spot, that means Yes, we don't need to cooperate. You can react or not react, it doesn't matter..”
Hotel front desk staff do not have "character personalities". Although Nancy must have her own ideas during the performance, they will not be mentioned in the script and have no influence on the plot, so Nancy can express herself freely - premise Yes, she won't add her own drama like the extra in "The King of Comedy".
Nancy felt a little relieved..
The first scene was re-entered into filming, more than once.
Ogos repeatedly communicated and adjusted with Renly, exploring more possibilities in terms of the scale of the character's emotions, trying to find a suitable rhythm; but the result was that Nancy, who was not nervous, became nervous and made two mistakes. , causing the filming to be restarted, and in the end seven versions were filmed one after another, and Ogus ended the filming..
It’s not smooth but it’s not bad either. No matter what, “Lobster” is officially launched..
