2273 Help each other
Today is the first scene since the launch of "Rogue One". Everyone is figuring out the rhythm and finding the state, including Renly and Gareth..
Therefore, it is inevitable and completely understandable that there will be some bumps in the shooting. Starting from scratch requires a process..
Even Renly is in the pondering stage now. He can vaguely capture a context and roughly understands the dissonance of rhythm changes, but he also needs time to adjust and get used to it - the main actors are all from independent movies or The theater stage is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. It is also a double-edged sword..
Renly was even more interested in why his feelings were not so direct and clear when filming "Edge of Tomorrow".？
Because the cast members have a better understanding of each other? Or is it because the actors and cast are stronger? Or is the director's style more approachable? But Renly personally prefers another possibility: back then, he was not mature enough, and his understanding of performance was more limited to his own one-third-acre field; but now, after growing up, he views the problem more comprehensively and thoroughly. , things that I couldn’t feel before are now beginning to emerge..
No wonder people always say: there is no end to learning.
After the filming stopped again, Renly thought about it carefully. The problem now is that he knows the crux of the problem, but he is not sure whether the solution is correct..
Since the whole picture is a whole, then adjusting the performance method and rhythm requires starting from different angles, making adjustments according to the light and angle of each character's position, finding a performance method that suits you, and finally forming a perfect composition with other actors. a complete whole.
As an actor, the content and range that Renly can see is still relatively limited - from the side, you can also intuitively feel the difficulty of the director's position. While controlling the overall situation, you also need to pay attention to details, and find a balance point, and still be able to Convey the director's own inspiration and point of view...etc., not just anyone can become a good director.
Now Renly is thinking about whether his performance should be a little bolder: sometimes, knowing how to restrain can release more information. What's more, in this scene, Garris only left Renly with a light. Illuminating the left side of the face, the whole person is in a state of semi-light and semi-darkness. If the emotions are too complicated, it will appear superfluous. It is better to streamline and condense the power, which will have more impact..
Renly couldn't help but think of Alan Eckhart's performance in "The Dark Knight".
At that time, Heath Ledger's Joker stole the show and won all the praises, so Allen's performance did not trigger much discussion; but in fact, Allen gave Two-Face an evil air. The violence of this character vividly demonstrates the struggle and transformation of this character..
So, can he use the power of light to show both good and evil similar to Two-Face, giving Captain Cassian Andor more possibilities?？
In the original script, Cassian's image is relatively weak. He is righteous, hot-blooded, bold, tough, brave, and risking his own life for the cause of the resistance. On the one hand, this is a traditional heroic image, and he reflects the entire The image of the rebels is also a compromise among the many characters, and it does not give the actors much room to play; but on the other hand, it is also boring, and there are no surprises in the routine..
In his previous life, Diego Luna, the Mexican actor who played Cassido, was actually an actor with a very unique personal temperament. His aura of both good and evil was hidden behind his bookish style, and his superb and delicate acting skills It's even better. But unfortunately, the script didn't give much room for development, and Diego's performance was submerged in the huge cast and magnificent scenes of "Rogue One".
At this time, due to repeated filming, Renly gradually developed a special idea: could he inject a touch of darkness into Cassido?——
It’s not the kind of darkness that is cruel, evil or obsessed, but the kind of darkness that is almost paranoid in order to resist the empire and save his hometown. This also makes Cassido often face Jyn Erso with a An eagerness and stubbornness, even a little unreasonable, exerted pressure on Qin Erso invisibly; but in the process of getting along later, they gradually understood each other, and then gradually restrained the sharp points and supported each other. Each other, without hesitation, strutted towards the beliefs they insisted on, burning their lives like moths to a flame..
In this way, Cassido Andor's image suddenly became fuller, but not too complicated and deep, showing a reasonable development curve within the framework of the movie script..
From a performance perspective, how should it be presented?？
The performance can be divided into two parts, the appearance and the interior. The appearance, the whole performance context is relatively rough, using a kind of paranoia to guide the eagerness bursting out of the heart, exerting pressure step by step, the presentation method can be simple and direct; the interior, the eyes There are more complicated thoughts hidden in it, but they are hidden in the boundary between half-light and half-darkness. Don't reveal it to the camera easily, just leak it inadvertently. Click to stop..
After that, as the filming progresses, it is released bit by bit, maintaining the rhythm of the performance, so that this character can step into the hearts of the audience..
However, propriety is very important, and we must try to avoid falling into the performance state of an independent film, otherwise the predicament of the scene will only get worse. If the original problem has not been solved, and even his rhythm and state are off, then Garris’s creative intentions may never come back.
Renly was thinking carefully, considering the control of scale and proportion, and trying to avoid too many details in his performance. He was thinking about how to use light skillfully to supplement the details of the performance, so as to make it intuitive and effective. way to pass the entire state to the audience.
Then, Renly noticed the gaze of a scorching eye, which temporarily pulled him out of his thoughts. He stared again with focus and focus, and met Felicity's eyes head-on..
helpless.
There were too many emotions in Felicity's eyes, including panic, nervousness, fear, worry, withdrawal, and so on. Those intricate emotions were all intertwined and mixed together, and in the end they were firmly occupied by a helpless sadness. It's like falling into a fishing net, and you can't get out even if you struggle hard.
“what should I do？”
Felicity didn't speak, but the message conveyed by her eyes couldn't be more simple and straightforward. This was the first time Renly had seen Felicity..
When filming "Crazy Love", they also had times when they were at a loss and in a hurry, but Felicity never showed her helpless vulnerability; and now, Renly can even see it in Felicity's eyes The fear of running away is like...it's like not knowing how to perform..
How should I help?？
Renly was more than happy to help, but the specificity of the scene in "Rogue One" and the independence of Felicity's character left Renly a little confused. He wasn't even 100% sure whether his performance fit the director's vision. Setting - This requires standing behind a monitor to watch, and there is still no special effects version of the picture, which means that the actors and the director need a lot of communication. Now these contents are lacking, and Renly naturally has no way of knowing..
Gareth Edwards is really a very boring... otaku.
Before Renly could continue to think, "Are you ready? Let's do it again." Garris's voice came from the side, slightly reserved and slightly tense. You can feel that Garris is also in confusion now. He is also trying to find a correct way of expression.
This means that they all need help, and the only thing that can help them is each other and themselves.
Renly gave up on interrupting Garris and instead cast a glance at Felicity. He gently nodded, telling her to calm down and calm down. Then he followed his feelings and said, "Let's interact with each other." help each other.”
Felicity's head was a little mushy, and she couldn't decipher so many details from one look, but she could feel the power conveyed by Renly, and her mood settled down slightly, as if she was holding a hand with both hands. Hot towel, although the heat disappears in an instant, the tense mood is still slightly relaxed.
She knew that Renly could always find a way. Wasn't that the case when filming "Crazy Love"?？
Closing her eyes, Felicity took a few deep breaths to calm down her panic; but her blank brain was still unsure of how she should perform, as if... it was as if she didn't know how to perform at all. Even the most basic acting skills have been forgotten. However, Renly is right next to him.
“Renly is nearby.”
Felicity told herself again, forcing herself to calm down, and then she opened her eyes again..
“Start filming！”
The filming started again, and the first half was still a disaster. The three actors could never get on the same track in their respective performance rhythms. This made the whole scene look chaotic and alienated, even the most basic emotions The expressions are all inaccurate. It can be seen that everyone is struggling a bit..
“……This is Captain Cassian Andor, Rebel Intelligence Agent.”
Everyone's attention followed the camera lens and shifted to Renly..
Previously, Cassian had been standing in the shadow next to him, with blue-green neon fluorescence faintly reflecting his face. The face hidden behind the stubble looked a bit gloomy, and the eyes under the shadow of his eyelashes were never revealed. Until this moment, as his footsteps moved forward slowly, the light and shadow flowed bit by bit, revealing the appearance of his eyes: calm, deep, but undercurrent..
step.
two steps.
three steps.
He came to the conference table and looked at Qin Erso condescendingly, but did not speak immediately. He just stared at her quietly. There was a sense of oppression in his eyes..
