2201 Carved details
“I can't do it. I really can't do it.”
Rachel seems to be on the verge of collapse.
This is always the case when actors play against each other. The east wind may overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Or they may destroy each other's rhythms and cause complete chaos. Or they may have a chemical reaction that improves the quality of the performance, creating more sparks and bringing about unexpected things. surprise.
everything is possible！
Because everyone is different! The performance rhythm, state, style, etc. are also different between people. Relying on different roles, different scenes, and different directors, more differences will evolve, and countless chemical reactions will naturally occur. development possibilities.
Generally speaking, Rachel and Renly are both actors with extremely rich acting experience, and they are also very experienced actors in stage performances. It is very, very rare for each other's rhythm to be completely destroyed, causing one to completely lose balance. Not even likely to happen.
After all, Rachel is not some unknown vase. There is no doubt about her strength and level..
So, what happened just now?？
To put it simply, Renly is full of energy. From his posture, eyes to lines, Renly has given many details to the performance of the whole scene, which is to add. If placed in a medium shot, these additions would be too subtle. , cannot be fully captured, and can only experience the changes in the overall aura, which is why the staff can feel the surge of emotions; but if placed in a close-up, these emotions will appear too heavy and too powerful. An instant release and an instant hit, which also creates the effect of a magnifying glass, attacking your face without hesitation..
What Ogus and others saw was a medium shot, while what Rachel saw was a close-up..
As a co-star, Rachel faced Renly's performance emotions head-on. She could clearly feel that the intensity of Renly's performance was improving in an all-round way. Those emotions were all vented like a torrential river, leaving Rachel no chance to breathe. space and time.
Then, the performance was off balance.
Rachel is no longer a rookie actor. Her acting experience is very rich, which is enough for her to cope with various scenes. In many cases, she is the one who takes the pressure of the scene. If a young actor is not careful, the rhythm may be out of balance. , this mature and steady performance temperament allowed her to successfully stick to the bottom line and hold on to the scene just now until the end, without losing the rhythm halfway through the filming and causing an interruption..
Despite this, Rachel is still very, very dissatisfied with her performance.
In fact, Rachel could detect that recently, Renly's performance has always been in a state of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with a glacier on the surface and a volcano on the inside. This contradictory emotion perfectly fits the role of David, but instead It gives Ouges’ works more possibilities for development, which is a good thing.
But the difference is that in the previous scenes, the emotions were strong but relatively stable; in today's scene, the emotions were turbulent and exploded instantly, and then Renly's performance was a little too intense, and the whole details If you buckle too hard, your emotions will be like huge waves, one after another, and then the balance will be easily broken..
Rachel didn't know what happened to Renly, and she didn't want to pry into Renly's privacy..
Rachel wasn't sure if Renly's performance was too strong, she was more focused on herself..
But Rachel is certain that she is not satisfied with her performance. The feeling of being suppressed is really too bad, which also makes her performance without any soul; what's worse is that she is directly out of myopia. The woman's performance state allowed her to empathize with David. This is a very fatal performance flaw. It can be said that she did not enter the play at all - it was not that Renly's performance was not good enough, but that her concentration was broken..
Rachel was very, very dissatisfied with her performance.
“I can't do it! i need five minutes！”
Rachel realized that her mood swings were too severe and she was obviously not suitable to continue performing. She took the initiative to take a five-minute break..
With Rachel as the representative, the entire crew can feel Renly's powerful aura, just like a martial arts master finally showing off his full strength, and the sense of oppression burst out in a mighty way, It is easy to form an aura to suppress, no one is an exception.
Rachel didn't sit there in a daze, but got up and came to the back of the monitor and asked to watch the replay..
From the playback of the performance, it can be clearly seen that the entire rhythm and aura are completely concentrated on Renly. Rachel's existence is not even felt in the camera. She is just like a wisp of air, being ignored directly. The serious imbalance is also It ruins the coordination of the whole scene. This is not a normal phenomenon..
Rachel's body language was very stiff, and did not show the calmness of a short-sighted woman at all - she should be the one who had the initiative and control at this time. Even in the face of David's temptation, she had no problem and was calm and collected. to cope with all potential possibilities; but the actual situation is：
“God, this is a disaster." Rachel couldn't believe that the person in the camera was herself..
In the scene, David is gazing intently at the myopic woman. Rachel's back muscles are obviously stiff, and her aura becomes uncertain. This also reveals the myopic woman's inner panic and hesitation.——
But at this time, the precise emotion of the myopic woman should be calm, slightly nervous but still calm, pretending not to notice David's inspection at all, and even showing doubts because of the silence in the atmosphere, raising her chin or slightly raising her chin. Turn your head and ask David, "What's wrong?" with this action. This kind of general style of controlling the overall situation is the correct way to perform..
But what about her?？
“Ogus, please hide all these contents and never let me see them, okay? Rachel blamed herself very much, "I can't believe it's me. I'm as clumsy as an open book. If a short-sighted woman was really like this, she would have been eaten alive in the forest long ago.".”
“Rachel, it’s actually not that bad.” Ogus tried to comfort his beloved general..
Rachel turned her head and looked at Ogus very seriously, "Are you serious?？”
Ogus got stuck—remember that? According to Ogus's original setting, Rachel was the centerpiece of the entire work, but now it has been completely overturned. David's every move, word and deed gives the entire story a deeper and more complex possibility. It is difficult to Imagine that the actor's performance could be so powerful; on the contrary, Rachel's interpretation of the character failed to open up the situation, and she fell behind..
Rachel pursed her lips and nodded slightly, as if she was comforting herself, "I can accept it. I can accept the garbage I just performed. Just do it again. We just need to do it again. Right?" You can have new possibilities if you start over. How about it, Renly, would you like to do it again?？”
Rachel seemed to have suffered a big blow, and her emotions were inevitably a little exposed. This appearance revealed a hint of the coquettishness of a little woman..
Renly was also watching the replay of the performance. After calming down, he also realized that he had exerted too much force..
Although, from a medium shot perspective, those emotions are accurate and not outrageous; but there are still many aspects of performance that need to be considered, such as the opposite actors, the overall picture, the style of the work, and so on, otherwise, otherwise If an actor stands out too much and destroys the wholeness, then the actor is also derelict in his duty - at least he must bear part of the responsibility for the work not being as good as expected..
That's it now.
The style of Ouges' works is still relatively cold and steady, and all performances must be restrained. This is also the reason why Buster Keaton's previous performance style can bring a lot of inspiration. That kind of stiff and dull performance can give the whole This work has a more wonderful and intense chemical reaction.
In Renly's performance just now, you can clearly see the traces of exerting force - those detailed actions indeed increased the emotion, but they seemed too numerous. At this moment, it should be "less is better than more". Stop it and leave it. Yu Yun, this is the most appropriate, he made an obvious mistake.
It is somewhat similar to Matthew McConaughey. After winning the Oscar for "Dallas Buyers Club", Matthew's career trajectory plummeted. At his peak in 2013 and 2014, his performance received countless praises and he was a star in the industry. There have been rave reviews from outsiders, and some even joked that Leonardo DiCaprio should learn from Matthew - the two did indeed play opposite each other in "The Wolf of Wall Street".
But what happened next？
In fact, it is very simple. Matthew learned to carve out details, but not to control. This also made him continue his accustomed performance method in subsequent works, just like a template, using the same performance method to interpret different roles, too much If the complicated details become a burden and destroy the character and the work, then his performance is a "failure".
The same set of performances is the icing on the cake in some works, but it is the black sheep in some works. This is the truth of "your honey, my arsenic".
In this scene, Renly also encountered the same problem - he can indeed act, and he can indeed control the overall situation, but the scene at this moment does not require him to show off his skills, and his showing off skills is ruining it. Integrity and balance, he needs to take back some of his performance.
Ogus was not an expert in acting. He could vaguely notice the difference, just like Rachel, but for a while, he couldn't tell the reason. But after Renly calmed down, his whole train of thought became clear. He also realized that the chaotic thoughts in his mind still made him too tense and too involved. As a result, he fell into the rut of "too much is not enough" and he needed to readjust his rhythm..
Then, Rachel's inquiry came over, and Renly said without any hesitation, "Of course, I'm very happy to！”
