214 offense and defense transition
Quiet, there was silence in the booth. Paul secretly raised his eyes from behind the menu and took a look. Renly, Andy and Neal were all looking down at the menu, looking attentive as if they were deciding an important choice of life or death. , there is a sense of comfort in the quiet atmosphere.
Fan was the only one, browsing the menu pages impatiently. The sound of swiping and swiping spread in the peaceful air, and his frowning eyebrows showed his dissatisfaction and irritability without any concealment..
Paul was thinking about how to lighten the atmosphere, and then he heard Renly's voice ringing in his ear, "Fan, when will the sequel of 'XXX' be filmed? Can't you come back?"？”
This not only broke the silence, but also broke the awkwardness. In an instant, the attention of Paul, Andy and Neil all rushed towards Renly, and of course, Fan.
The corners of Fan's mouth were itchy, and he wanted to answer, but had to suppress it. The face in front of him was still so disgusting, and the mouth was chattering endlessly, "I watched 'Xxx2' before, My only thought is, why was this movie made? To be honest, the extreme sports in the first movie really opened my eyes. Did you do the scene of jumping off the bridge yourself?？”
“Yes." Before the brain could control it, the voice had already answered first. The emotions that were about to stir in the body broke the blockade of reason and began to introduce endlessly, "The situation at that time was like this.……”
Andy lowered his head with confidence and continued to browse the menu, thinking carefully about what he should have for dinner. He was not worried about Renly's condition. Vaguely, Andy noticed the burning eyes falling on the top of his head. He raised his head and saw Neil's inquiring eyes made Andy smile and raise the menu in his hand, seeming to ask: Have you finished ordering?？
Niall also raised the menu to indicate, then lowered his eyes, pretending to be browsing the menu, but in fact his ears were listening to the conversation. Fan's enthusiastic voice made the atmosphere lively, and Renly could occasionally be heard. Or the voice of Paul answering, but mainly it was Fan alone who spoke..
This doesn't look like a role audition at all. It looks like a gathering of friends..
Neal couldn't help but recall Renly's personal information. He had only appeared in two works so far. He would not turn twenty-one in two months, but in just a few months, he had quickly risen to prominence. , first the Emmy Awards, and then Toronto, the upward trend is really unexpected. But other than that, his data is lackluster..
Thinking back on what I saw in Telluride over the past two days, "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network" are unrivaled in the limelight, but "Buried Alive" and "127 Hours" are also far ahead in the number of discussions. However, there are some differences between the two. Danny Ball in "127 Hours" is mentioned more and more often, while "Buried Alive" is Renly's word of mouth that is getting more and more intensive..
And tonight, tonight's performance was outstanding. Judging from Andy's reaction, he was not worried at all; however, if Neil has an actor like Renly, there is really no need to worry——
He is calm and wise, advances and retreats appropriately, and is elegant and calm. Not only does he not have the greenness and immaturity of a new actor, but he also does not have the nervousness and panic during the audition. From the beginning to the end, he always showed a rare general style, even throughout the conversation. , vaguely gaining the upper hand.
“Renly, you don't seem to have anything to do with action movies, so if you became an action actor, what would be your strengths? "After ordering, Neil took the initiative to start the topic and took over the initiative. Compared with Fan just now, Neil's casual words were calmer, but there was a decisiveness that could not be quibbled with..
“Well, my 100-meter time can go into twelve seconds? "Renly pondered for a moment and gave an incorrect answer, but then everyone heard the subtext.：
What strengths does an action actor need? Being able to fight, run, and being agile is all there is to it. After all, it is now impossible for Hollywood to find a pure martial arts actor like Li Xiaolong, and these requirements all require physical practice. At this time, Renly You can't show it with your mouth. So, this is such an absurd and uninhibited answer, which at least proves that Renly's motor nerves are very developed..
After realizing it, Paul was the first to burst into laughter, and then the others couldn't help but smile..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on Fan opposite him - he and Neil were sitting on the same side, and the shifting of his eyes was always a bit strange, "I thought appearance was one of my advantages." Lan. Li's follow-up words once again exceeded everyone's expectations..
It's still 2010, and in 2014, even an old British gentleman like Colin Firth starred in "Kingsman: The Secret Service", and it was well received. Appearance has never been a shackle for action movies. It's a pity. Yes, Renly couldn't bring up Qhorin's example right now..
However, as Renly said, the "Fast and Furious" series is a classic action movie, but it is too clichéd and has continued the route of bigger scenes, bigger explosions, and more fierce racing. Now even This is how casting is done. This is how Dwayne Johnson came into the crew's sight, but Dwayne has already been chosen for the fifth film, so what about the sixth one?？
In fact, a truly outstanding action actor should not be too big, because the movements will appear slow, and a light body will gain some advantages. When Harrison Ford starred in "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", his movements were not traditional. actor style.
“Or is it that your character setting is far different from mine? Then, I can't see where today's conversation will go." In just two sentences, Renly calmly took the initiative and threw the question back..
Fan obviously didn't expect it, and was stunned for a moment - since when did a rookie who had only acted in one movie start asking questions during the audition process? Since when did an unknown little guy dare to ask questions to the producers? How dare he！
There are really too many actors in Hollywood, even third- and fourth-tier actors who have appeared in one or two films. Independent films are everywhere, and you can throw a brick at an unknown actor who has appeared on the Sundance stage. .In most auditions, actors don’t even have time to introduce themselves. They are eliminated in just ten seconds. Audition directors have to see hundreds of fresh faces a day, not to mention accepting questions. Not even bothering to have a greeting conversation.
Although it is said that thanks to the excellence of the two productions "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", as well as the two stages in Toronto and Telluride, Renly was able to audition face to face, but in essence, He is still a complete newcomer. It was only today that Niall and Van heard the name "Renly Hall" for the first time..
Renly asked back this time, which really caught Van off guard. Poor Vin Diesel was sitting face to face with Renly. If it were Neil, the situation would be much better..
Neil took over the conversation calmly, "Then what is your setting for the character?" Fan immediately turned to look at Neil, avoiding Renly's sight, but after reacting, he felt in his heart The anger deep inside began to surge again - what kind of newcomer is this? Arrogant, ignorant, rude, self-righteous, eliminated! No doubt, eliminated directly！
“Have you watched the 'Fast and Furious' series? If you inserted a character into it, how would you set it up? "Ginger is still old and hot. Neil followed Renly's words and asked further questions. Paul and Fan also looked at Renly at the same time. At this moment, the audition really began..
Renly thought about it carefully, and without evading the question, he gave the answer directly, "Jake-Bauer." The male protagonist of the classic American TV series "24", Jack, who is known as the "Immortal Strong" - Ball.
As an anti-terrorist expert, Jack is a very classic character. He is both wise and brave, decisive in killing, calm and wise, clear in thinking, and not sloppy. Kiefer-Suthernd, who plays this role, starred in the second episode. In the first season, he was not a typical action actor. He was not physically strong, but his skills were strong and his fierce and vicissitudes of temperament made Jack Bauer a classic..
If we talk about character depth and ideological connotation in an adrenaline-filled action movie like "The Fast and the Furious", it will inevitably drag down the overall rhythm of the movie, just like the later reboot of the "Bourne Supremacy" series. Parts 4 and 5 were inferior. Renly would not make such a mistake..
Therefore, it is most important to choose a clear character concept, complete the positioning and shaping of the character style before shooting, and then implement it into the movie and integrate it with the movie style. This is the most important thing. Impossible, "007", and "Die Hard" are all such classic action movie series..
Renly's example was very accurate and clear, and Neil instantly understood what he meant. The styles of Jack Bauer and Dwayne Johnson are completely different, but they unexpectedly fit Renly's temperament. To be more precise, Said that Neil thought it would be very interesting if Renly played a Jack Bauer-style character - his mind couldn't help but think of Keanu Reeves, thinking of Keanu in " Performances in "Speed" and "The Matrix". Keanu is not a typical action actor either.
I have to admit that Neil's curiosity was aroused, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then we can definitely use Kiefer Sutherland. Compared with him, what do you have?" What are the advantages?？”
“Ha." Renly chuckled lightly, without any panic. He pursed his lips, and the faint smile was hidden on his lips, like the buds blooming proudly on the treetops in spring, "Why don't you tell me about me? Disadvantage, you all know Kiefer, but you don’t know me... Wait, this seems to be my advantage as well." Renly turned his head, looked past Paul, and looked at Neil, "Isn't it?？”
