In his previous life, Adrien Brody played the role of "detached" Henry.
Adrian is indeed an excellent actor, and he has a natural fit with Henry's temperament. He vividly displayed the melancholy, thin, and confused state, leaving a deep impression on people..
But Adrian came from the American acting system, and he drew more from the method school when performing. Moreover, he is a true actor, and he has never been able to get rid of the shackles of his own appearance. His "detached" performance has never been better than that of "piano". "Home". The difference lies in the detailed changes in emotions. Adrian's sadness and gloom always stay in one dimension, with no change, no depth, and no layers..
For laymen, there is no explanation for this kind of detail, and the audience cannot see the specific difference; but the movie-watching experience it brings will be very different, just like the sea, it looks calm on the surface, But the ups and downs of the waves are very different. The effects of standing on the shore and watching them are very different from being in them..
Only a true academic can appreciate the depth and skill involved.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the ultimate challenge of expressionistic acting.！
At least for the current Renly, it is the ultimate challenge. Perhaps, in the future, Renly will encounter more difficult roles and more severe challenges, but at this moment, the difficulty of the role of Henry Bachet is beyond imagination. The limit that can be reached, even if Renly tries his best, may not be able to achieve the ideal state of perfection.
The difficulty of the performance far exceeds the oppression and tension brought by "Buried Alive", let alone other works; moreover, this time it is not the ignorant exploration and pursuit of the Methodists, but the Expressionists, completely Expressive acting is, without a doubt, the ultimate test of Renly's previous studies at the academy..
This is the professional field that Renly is best at, but it is also a height and depth that has never been explored. Even a play in London's West End or Broadway may not be so difficult..
Because the characteristic of movies is that they use the advantage of the lens to enlarge all the details. Compared with the theater stage, it can almost be said to be under a microscope. Therefore, the actors will have nowhere to escape, and any subtle changes in the peripheral parts will be ignored. will be presented calmly in front of the audience.
If you use too much force, it will lead to too much craftsmanship, but it will break away from the reality of the movie and stick to the dramatic effect of the stage, which will affect the audience's viewing effect. For example, this is the case with the movie "Fences".
If the force is not enough, it will lead to deviating from the director's creative intention, unable to give the character more soul, and naturally unable to trigger more thinking. The "detachment" of the previous life more or less had this problem..
In other words, one point more is not too much, one point less is not enough, coupled with the control of details, the level, change and depth of emotions, every link brings out the essence of control to the fullest, it is completely expressionistic. The ultimate in acting.
This...this is so exciting! Even just thinking about it in his mind made all the cells in Renly's body excited..
Sure enough, as an actor and as an audience, the perspectives are completely different..
“‘"Detachment." Tony said the name of the movie, with an unconcealable look on his face, "To be more precise, what I want to present is not a state of struggle, but a state of detachment. It's like, the soul is separated. Outside the body, looking at the inaction of this world, but the body can still feel the pain and torture.”
“Like a psycho." Woody, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hold it back and complained loudly..
Tony didn't mind, nodded vigorously, and laughed heartily, "Yes, just like a psycho.”
Renly's thoughts came back. In just a few seconds, his mind was filled with vicissitudes of life. "I have never felt so deeply that I am beyond my body, yet my existence is so real.".”
Renly said this sentence in French..
In the field of philosophy, France and Germany do have research levels leading the world. Even in the UK, the philosophy department at Cambridge is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Of course, Renly can translate it into English, but the French In terms of classical literature and philosophical speculation, there are detailed differences between the wording and German. If you want to taste the original flavor, it is best to use the original language..
Tony was stunned, not understanding the meaning of this sentence, and then looked at Woody for help. Woody rolled his eyes angrily, "I didn't say that. You should ask the person involved." But after complaining, Woody still opened his mouth to translate, and his eyes finally fell on Renly, "Albert Camus）？”
Renly nodded in approval..
Albert Camus was the winner of the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature and one of the most famous representatives of existentialism and absurd philosophy in France..
In his previous life, Renly would not have known about these contents at all, because in the domestic education system, philosophy is obviously not something everyone loves; but in this life, philosophy courses are what every noble must learn. , Renly didn’t understand the reason before, but now he finally understands.
Many times, that knowledge is integrated into the blood, changing a person's thinking and changing a person's temperament. Even if the knowledge has disappeared from the mind, their influence is still everywhere. It gives a person the ability to see things Different perspectives. This is the essence of learning.
Now that Renly is watching the movie "Transcendence" again, his feelings will be completely different from those in his last life..
“Albert Camus? Tony repeated, chewed carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that I need to do some homework when I go back.".”
Tony did not pretend to understand, but maintained an attitude of learning with an open mind. He seriously took out a pen and wrote it down in his notebook. His focused look was a bit funny, but no one would laugh at him..
After finishing, he raised his head and looked at Renly with stern eyes again, "How about it, are you willing to star in this work?"？”
Tony's impatient look left no time for Renly to think. He was like an ignorant child, with an innocent heart that he never concealed..
For some people, this is actually a very offensive move, and they don't understand social etiquette at all; but Renly naturally feels a sense of admiration, just like Woody, the only thing they care about is the movie, nothing more..
Looking at the childish Tony, Renly suddenly wanted to play a prank, so he leaned back and looked like he was waiting for a price, "We still have many issues that have not been discussed, such as the salary..”
Renly originally thought that his arrogant and provocative behavior would anger Tony; or perhaps Woody.
After all, in front of two senior people, Woody and Tony, Renly was not ranked at all. He was still picking and choosing here. It was completely overestimating his abilities..
But unexpectedly, Tony laughed brightly, patted the table happily, and smiled very happily, "You can do whatever you want. As long as you are willing to star.".”
Renly was slightly surprised, but the surprise only stayed in the depths of his eyes for a moment, and then turned into a helpless smile, flickering faintly, mocking himself, "Are you sure?？”
Tony nodded directly without any hesitation, "Yes, I'm sure.”
Although he only had contact with Renly for a short time, details are everything. He knew that Renly could not be the kind of actor who opened his mouth. Renly was just making normal demands as an actor..
Putting aside his previous acting experience in two consecutive independent films, judging from today's contact alone, Renly has won the respect of Karl, Renly listened to his explanation, and Renly even knew Albert Camus-accurately. Unmistakably captures the essence of the film.
Such an actor is hard to come by, and cannot be found in the "Twenty Million Club". He has shown enough professionalism, not to mention that he is only 21 years old, even those who are wallowing in Hollywood Actors who have been working for more than ten or twenty years may not have this level of focus..
What's more, Tony believes in Woody's vision. The pioneer village, resident performances, waiters...these details are enough to piece together the vivid character in Woody's eyes, which is also the beginning of their appearance here today..
“Let's do this, three hundred thousand dollars, then 5% of the movie's box office and 5% of the DVD sales. What do you think? "Tony knocked on the table lightly and said crisply. In those understatement words, the generosity of the offer was really shocking..
Renly didn't know what the budget for "Transcendence" was, but he estimated it wouldn't be more than "Buried Alive". It might even be that like Drake, Tony paid for it out of his own pocket, so the funds would be even more stretched..
Now, Tony waved his hand and directly offered a salary of 300,000 yuan..
This price is not high compared to Renly's current salary and net worth of one million to three million, but it is Renly's highest-paid work so far - Renly can already imagine Andy I’m really complaining, it’s another work with such a low pay.！
But that's not all.
Five percent of the box office dividend. Such treatment has elevated Renly to the level of a film producer. It can be seen that Tony attaches great importance to it; and Tony also knows that the box office of "Transcendence" is expected to be very bad, so he Taking 5% of the sales of DVDs is incredible..
There are indeed many top actors in Hollywood who have the ability to profit from box office dividends, but there are very few who have the ability to profit from dividend sales of DVDs..
Because peripheral sales are the real core of a production company's profitability. It is a link that no one is allowed to touch, even a big boss like Steven Spielberg, unless DreamWorks cooperates with other production companies. works, otherwise he would not be able to share the surrounding profits.
However, Tony just threw it out in such an understatement. Such a price was so generous that even Renly was a little shocked..
