2172 Dilemma
Ben Whishaw feels that he is very innocent. John Reilly and Renly are two old foxes. They go back and forth and put him in a difficult situation alone. He suppresses his smile and avoids laughing. This is definitely a life experience. Great torture! Whishaw classmate expressed strong condemnation to the two guys with righteous words..
Black humor can create such a comedic effect. The relaxed joy of the "Lobster" crew is definitely something that could not have been expected before the filming started, but... maybe this is a chemical reaction? This also means that Ogus has a ruthless vision in casting and has gathered a group of outstanding actors..
In the jubilant atmosphere of the audience, Ogles should be the only exception: Although Whishaw's laughter problem cannot be ignored, through the splicing of shots from different camera positions, this is not a fatal problem. Even if there is no reshooting, post-editing will be difficult. The production can be completed without worrying about the secret being revealed; what is more important now is Renly's magical strokes, which disrupted the original plan of the entire scene, but at the same time gave the character more possibilities.
Judging from the effect of the whole scene, the tone of black and cold humor actually meets the requirements of Ogus's ideas, but countless emotions emerged in Ogus's mind, and the whole story began to spread out, as if it was messed up by a cat. Like a ball of wool, a lot of clues appeared after pulling the slag, which seemed dazzling, but he needed to find the thread among them..
“Renly？”
Ogus ignored the cheerful atmosphere and took the initiative to come to the actors, motioning for John and Whishaw to stay where they were. He then came to Renly and looked Renly in the eyes, "Actually, I have a question. I've been there since the first day of filming, but I never found a chance to ask; the scene just now reminded me again, so... why did you slow down your speaking pace?？”
After a moment of pause, Ogus then explained, "I mean, your entire rhythm is slowing down, not slow motion, but slowing down the rhythm... Is that right?？”
At the end, Ogus also added a question to make sure that his judgment was not wrong..
“Yes." Renly replied in the affirmative..
Ogus gently nodded to show understanding, and then there was a silence. He had to ask again, "Then what? Why did you do this?"？”
“…… Oh." Renly paused for a moment before reacting, then his eyes fell on Ogus, and he paused quietly for a breath, "You mean this, right? "The slightly slowed-down speech once again reproduced David's feelings, which made Ogus nod his head in agreement, but the next words made Ogus a little stunned.——
“No reason. It just feels right." Renly said..
What？
Ogus looked at Renly with question marks on his head. He originally thought that Renly would analyze more details about David from a personality perspective and a psychological perspective, as before, and then explain the reasons for his performance. , for example, David is introverted, usually staying at home, and is not good at socializing; another example is that David's thinking speed is a little slow, and his speaking rhythm is also slowed down; another example is that David has a gentle personality and is used to walking at his own pace Life is incompatible with the surroundings, which is why he was arranged to get married... and so on, and so on. He also hopes that such reasons can find more inspiration for the three-person dialogue scene just now..
But...what? No reason? What answer is this? Aren't the liars joking? What kind of ignorant garbage answer is this?？
Because Ogus's blank expression was so shocked, it made both John and Whishaw chuckle - the scene was indeed a bit funny..
The corners of Renly's mouth also turned up, and he explained patiently, "There is no special reason. On the one hand, I am indeed thinking about David's character and characteristics, but those details have no essential roots and cannot be regarded as a character framework. His speech is slow and... Being easily distracted is just a small detail; on the other hand, I am also studying comedy performance, hoping to find a performance method that suits me and add brilliance to the character..”
Bala Bala.
Bala Bala.
Renly's speaking speed has returned to normal. He switched from David state to Renly mode, and spoke a lot of words eloquently. Ogus savored it carefully, and then finally came back to his senses, "What do you mean? , you just think it’s humorous to perform like this, so you perform it like this？”
“Yes." Renly nodded in affirmation matter-of-factly..
Ogus's face was full of lovelessness.
A smile appeared in Renly's eyes, "Why, doesn't such a performance have much humorous effect? I thought you liked such a performance..”
Ogus opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say yes or no, "...I just," Are you sure this isn't a lie? "I just thought you had more thoughts and deeper meanings, just like before." Unknowingly, Ogus revealed his true thoughts deep in his heart..
John and Whishaw both laughed, and Whishaw couldn't help but complain, "See, I'm not the only one."！”
Renly looked innocent, "I was just trying to be a comedian..”
“……”Ogus couldn't refute.
Renly was serious about presenting the role of David in a comedic way. There were obviously many ways to perform. He carefully analyzed David's character and the subsequent plot, and finally chose a "turtle" style performance. , to show the innocence and restraint in David's character.
But if we say that all innocent and kind-hearted characters speak and act this way, that is not necessarily the case. There must be many different performance methods and interpretation methods. It is just that Renly chose this method, hoping to create a This kind of contrasting cold humor infiltrates the comedy effect invisibly.
Regarding comedy performance, Renly is still thinking about it. "The Lobster" is obviously different from "Power Rangers". He needs to interpret his own style within the framework of Ogoth's style, which means that he needs to inject more Efforts, especially those blank spaces without lines, are very important for comedy effect..
Seeing Ogus's depressed expression at this time, Renly asked seriously, "What, don't you like it? Or is it not suitable? Do you want to adjust all the previous parts?？”
“No, no no." Ogus waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just curious..." After a pause, Ogus raised the topic of discussion with a little urgency, "I'm just worried that David's performance during the conversation was... Not too radical? On the contrary, there is no need to forcefully guide the audience, as if forcefully telling the audience how to think about this scene. This seems too low-level..”
“Oh." Renly drawled out, as if he was thinking, "Then do you need me to modify my performance? Or should all those lines that were improvised be deleted? Or suppress the entire emotion and bury those emotional clues as deeply as possible？”
Renly is participating in the discussion attentively, without any cynicism. In fact, not all of the on-the-spot performances are positive, but more of a burst of inspiration based on a thorough understanding of the original performance. Naturally, there are good and bad. The final choice still requires a decision. So, he threw the question to the director to see what the director really wanted..
Ogos hesitated instead. If it was before, he might have suspected that Renly was joking; but now he knew that Renly was sincere. This was definitely not a retreat or cynicism. Renly treated the performance Always extra focused, which also means that Ogus needs to rethink this scene.
To change or not to change, that is a difficult question.
“No, I mean, I like some parts, but I also don’t like some parts." Ogus was a little conflicted, but after pondering for a moment, he decided to follow the "old rules.”：
Shoot several times, and then during the post-production process, select the clips you are most satisfied with and edit them into the final product..
This decision made Whishaw groan in pain and cover his cheeks with his hands in annoyance, "God, please forgive my poor soul.".”
The depressed look made John chuckle, "Ben, don't you know that the more you act like this, the more you can stimulate us?？”
Whishaw quietly put down his palm and looked at John with some confusion and confusion, as if he didn't quite understand..
Then Whishaw turned to look at Renly and cast a questioning look, but Renly shook his head repeatedly, "No, it's just him, it has nothing to do with me. I have no prejudice against those special hobbies, but equally, I He doesn’t have any special hobbies. I think we should treat John with a normal heart..”
What special hobby? Abuse? Or abused? something like that？
Renly's meaningful hint shocked the surrounding staff, and all those curious looking eyes were cast towards John..
Renly also said to John, "Right, John?"？”
John blinked and turned to look at Whishaw, "Did anyone remind you that you must be careful with Renly? Now I finally understand what that means..”
In a happy and relaxed atmosphere, the filming started again.
Not only Renly, but John and Whishaw also began to make slight adjustments, trying to create different sparks in the performance. The entire filming process was filled with a lot of laughter.：
Sometimes, Renly can still come up with new inspirations and interpret the character with different feelings; sometimes, Renly needs to change the rhythm and content to explore the character of David; and sometimes, Renly has more to do with John and Whistle. Xiao cooperated, creating sparks in the chemical reaction of the three people; at other times, he completed the performance in a regular and step-by-step manner to see if it met Ouges' needs..
This was originally a relatively long scene, and three different lenses had to be adjusted before and after to complete the shooting; moreover, a large number of lines also needed to be kept in a stable state, which invisibly added variables to the shooting, which also caused the three people to go back and forth. After filming seventeen times, I finally got Ogus’s nod, finally ending this long night of torture..
Poor little kitten Whishaw was finally liberated.
