“"Lobster" is officially launched.
According to the crew's custom, the first scene was shot seven times over and over again - without switching to different lenses for repeated shooting, which meant it was not a good start; but Ogus didn't care, and concentrated on it. After thinking about it, he would chat with Renly for a while after each take..
Renly didn't mind, though, and adjusted his performance over and over again. The same part of the scene and the same lines went back and forth like this, and even the staff became a little bit restless - because the difference between each performance was really limited. When watching from the sidelines, it was difficult to distinguish the differences in detail. If your attention wandered for a moment, you might fall into a cycle of "déjà vu", but Renly still worked diligently to complete all Ogoth's requirements..
In fact, Renly is completely enjoying it. He is also adjusting his performance. On the one hand, he hopes to fit Ogos's style; on the other hand, he also hopes to find his own comedy performance style. This is a necessary process. .What's more, compared with "detachment", this can only be regarded as watering down..
After shooting seven versions, Ogus finally gave the nod, saying that he had found a version he was satisfied with..
If it is a normal scene, the director may not tell the actors which scene he is going to use, because it will be officially decided during post-editing and production. There is a difference between the feeling on the scene and the perception in the later period. They mainly Find a feeling and an angle, and the rest of the work is done through post-editing.
But this scene is slightly different. They are trying to adjust the emotional switches and proportions. Ogus still needs to let Renly understand: which feeling he wants to see, and which kind of performance he can accept, This will have an impact on subsequent shooting. Communication is particularly important..
“For the first time, we will follow the same method as the first time." Ogus said, although he was a little cautious, but Ogus still accepted the fact calmly - Renly's first performance was the best, then The unique style created by this suddenness can also become an integral part of the black humor of the movie. Ogus also realized that his "preconceptions" had been wrong twice, and he really needed to go back and review it..
As for now, putting all the troubles and depression behind for the time being and focusing on film shooting, Ogus has begun to think about how to choose the soundtrack..
Renly also breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the first scene was successfully passed, and his exploration and research on comedy had been initially recognized..
Compared with drama works, comedy movies do have a unique experience. The humor hidden in them is very advanced, making people smile but not laughing out loud. The filming scene of "The Lobster" crew should be very interesting. ——Although comedians may not necessarily be happy all the time, the scenes of comedy movies must be full of relaxation..
Facts also confirmed Renly's guess..
The filming atmosphere of the crew is very special. It is cold on the surface but cheerful in the bones. The absurd and strange sense of humor is always secretly surging. Instead of simply and crudely saying "laughter", it is more suitable to say relaxed and freehand. At least, It's different from the hilarious pranks the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" made all over the place, but more of the sparks created by the friction of wisdom..
For example, Renly accidentally discovered that Olivia was shyly and sweetly talking on the phone with her husband, and the joy between her eyebrows was as vivid as the fluttering wings of a butterfly. "I don't think inviting him to the house is a good idea. I always feel He will defraud you of your entire family fortune. I mean, he does have the potential to become a playboy thief." Then, the eyes of Olivia and Renly collided..
That scene... Although Renly couldn't be sure who "he" was, and Olivia didn't name him, the situation at that time was really weird and hilarious. Even if he ignored the content of the conversation for the time being, Renly couldn't tell the difference. It is clear whether it is more rude to break into another couple's chat, or whether it is more shocking to accidentally discover Olivia's little girl side..
Later, Renly learned that Olivia was very introverted, even a little quiet, but as an actress, she had to force herself to stand up, and then she showed those sharp edges. To a certain extent, those faces when they first met , is also an extension of Olivia's performance - in real life, Olivia has another personality.
After that, whenever Olivia saw Renly talking on the phone, or Renly saw Olivia talking on the phone, the two would look at each other teasingly, without saying anything, but always It was full of joy. That kind of tacit understanding actually narrowed the distance between the two people..
For example, in the first scene, John Reilly kept eating screws during the filming process, and he repeatedly appeared to have a big tongue, which was like a short tongue. The crew on set couldn't help but laugh, and even Ogus looked helpless. ——Actors also have status problems, just like the inspiration of artistic creators. If something is not right, then it will be difficult for the performance to get on track. Ogus thought that John’s performance status that day was just not quite right..
Unexpectedly, Whishaw and Renly teased John one by one, asking him to try to add a little color to the character. Why not evolve the original character of "chubby man" into "big-tongued man"? It actually doesn’t do any harm to the script or the characters, and doesn’t change the core things, but it became a running gag for the crew during the performance..
John accepted the proposal straightforwardly, and then... the script added a "man with a big tongue"”.
Later, many staff members of the crew followed John and learned to speak loudly. Even the "Good morning" they met every day evolved into the "toddler version" - the baby version of babbling. This also became a smile that can only be understood within the crew. meaning.
For example, because the entire crew stayed together day and night, after filming every day, except for Oggs who occasionally summoned Renly to discuss script creation, the actors and staff had to kill time - in In this rural place, the network speed is limited, and even the mobile phone signal may be affected by rain. After nightfall, they must find their own fun..
The result is a group of people getting together to play... Scrabble.
Instead of playing poker or drinking beer, it was Scrabble, and it even evolved into a Spelling Bee! Everyone is eager to show off their skills every day, so that when they are free during the day, the topics of discussion become, "How did you spell 'thrilling' yesterday?" and "If I spell red-crowned crane. It’s a comeback,” and so on..
When Ogus realized this for the first time, he was slightly shocked and said a classic line, "Why are you all Sheldonized?" The whole audience burst into laughter, and this line has become famous. The crew's secret code - "Rachel became Sheldon last night, and Jessica was just ten points behind."！”
Even these daily sesame seeds and mung bean-sized items, taken individually, don’t seem to be anything special, but they make the entire crew feel relaxed..
Even the performance has become cheerful - John C. Reilly is a genuine comedian, his every move reveals a sense of joy, and from time to time he can come up with something on the spot; Renly is the type who reacts quickly and adapts to changes, and his performance In the process, a steady stream of inspiration can often be generated, and then different attempts can be made. The two actors collide, which also gives Ouges a headache..
But compared to Ogus standing behind the monitor, Whishaw is the one who is really suffering..
Whishaw's performance is relatively regular, and his style is more of a delicate and layered type. In this work of Ogles, Whishaw appears more in a gloomy and silent image. Through the character's Absurd to create a black humor effect, but Whishaw met John and Renly. He really worked hard in front of two actors who did not act according to common sense..
Just like the scene being filmed now.
“Once you enter that room, they will wash you thoroughly first," the lame man said..
“How do you know? "The man with the big tongue asked.
David sat next to him, looking left and right with a deer-like gaze. His eyes were full of innocence and confusion, revealing a kind of confusion of "What are you talking about?", and his slightly raised eyebrows forced some of his head to rise. lines, but the eyes are still a little hazy as if they haven’t woken up. The appearance outside the situation is incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene, and then the joy collides..
First look at the lame man, then look at the big-tongued man, and then look at the lame man... David is a bit busy.
“My uncle once knew a waiter here." The lame man replied.
The big-tongued man frowned, "How could the waiter know the process?" Then he cast his gaze at David, "They are not allowed to enter that room..”
David raised his chin and looked at the big-tongued man with great concentration and seriousness, as if he was participating in a discussion, but his confused gaze revealed the details. Then David looked at the lame man and turned his big-tongued man. The man's gaze was also drawn to the past..
Tolerate.
Tolerate！
Tolerate！
After all, Whishaw couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. He raised his hand towards Ogus and said, "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry!" Whishaw lowered his head and raised his hands with both hands. He covered his cheeks, but he still couldn't control his laughter..
“God! You two..." Whishaw was funny and helpless, but he still didn't dare to raise his eyes..
“Ben, what's wrong? "Ogus didn't know why and tried to help..
Whishaw just raised his head and saw John and Renly, and then he couldn't help laughing again. Ogus, who didn't know why, walked over and cast a questioning look at Renly, but Renly still had an innocent face. , which left Ogus helpless and could only look at Whishaw, "This？”
“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Whishaw was still apologizing, raising his hand and rubbing his eyes, because he was smiling so happily that his eyes were moist..
