546 script practice
The classroom fell into silence.
Sammy covered his mouth firmly and glanced at Betty, then raised his eyes and looked at Renly carefully, only to find that Renly didn't raise his head at all, as if he didn't notice the sound in the classroom at all. Even her appearance was beyond the radar, and she was still concentrating on reading the books in front of her..
This made Sami feel a little relieved, but then she felt a little disappointed. She had not said hello to Renly so far, but she was still not sure. At this time, she spoke rashly and disturbed Renly's working status. Is it appropriate? So, Sammy turned to look at Betty, casting a hint of help with his eyes. Unfortunately, Betty kept her head lowered, her chin pressed tightly to her chest, and only the corner of her vision was wandering around. Floating, I don’t want to give any other reactions..
Sammy slumped her shoulders in annoyance and lowered her head heavily, looking like a puppet with broken strings. Her vivid body language fully demonstrated her disappointment at the moment. Her resentful eyes kept drifting towards Betty, Sometimes she pouts, sometimes she frowns, and sometimes she sighs. The rich and diverse expressions are truly wonderful..
“If you're bored, you can start reading the script." There is always a whistling sound in the classroom. It can't be said to be noisy. In fact, there is always a turbulent air flow undulating. This kind of sound is actually more annoying than the noise, as if even the breathing is The rhythm is interrupted.
If he was immersed in the script, Renly would not notice it at all, but after the script reached a paragraph, the restlessness and confusion became particularly obvious. So Renly simply raised his head and looked at The two girls in front of them couldn't help but laugh..
Sammy's whole body is full of vitality, which seems inconsistent with the tone of the entire movie, but in fact it is just the opposite. That kind of weirdness is the most special shining point of Erica, and she is a bit naughty. , a little cynical, even a little naive and romantic. This characteristic of a fifteen-year-old girl forms a strong sense of contradiction with the depravity of a young prostitute, and then brings impact. She is seeking Henry's redemption, but at the same time she also saves Henry..
Betty exudes a special temperament, timid yet with a hint of curiosity, sad yet with a hint of vitality, restrained yet with a hint of urgency. This character carries the film’s gradually changing main line. , a child who grew up in filth, gave birth to a faint hope, eager to break out of this quagmire. She found it in Henry, but this ray of hope gradually disappeared, and finally fell off the cliff. I chose a decisive way to say goodbye..
“The script of "Detachment" is a typical way of writing stage dramas, and the relationship between the characters is full of meaning..
Sarah, who is also a teacher, is a conscientious educator. She tried to save these children, but she couldn't find a way. The heavy pressure almost crushed her; more importantly, she She is also longing for redemption. She hopes to be able to get out of this hell. If she can, she will choose to leave, far away. She thinks Henry will be the key..
In fact, deep in Sarah's heart, the fire of hope has been extinguished. She has no hope for these children. She thinks more about being able to escape and escape far away. In essence, she is dark and desperate. It was also painful. So, when she saw Meredith throwing herself in Henry's arms, her first thought was negative. Maybe, from the beginning, she didn't believe that Henry would be the key..
Erica and Meredith are two teenagers. Erica is climbing up from the bottom of darkness, always looking for the exit of light, and moving forward proactively; Meredith is falling from the abyss of despair. , never truly believed that they could be redeemed, and the glimmer of hope in their hands gradually disappeared like fine sand. Both of them maintained their hopes on Henry, but they ended up in different endings..
Just from the selection of these three roles, it can be seen that Tony chose actors with their true qualities, hoping that their own temperament can bring out the characteristics of the characters, rather than exerting all their energy to perform and retain as much as possible. Give lens language more room to express itself.
But an accident happened to Renly. If Tony chose Adrian Brody according to the trajectory of his previous life, this was also his true performance. Although there is no doubt about Adrian's acting skills. Such a choice is blameless, but Judging from the finished product, the entire work is immersed in a sad and desperate mood. It fails to go further or enrich the layers. It stays in place and restricts the possibility of the film becoming better..
A decent performance, Renly is confident that he can meet Tony's standards and once again give an Adrian-style performance, but Renly is not just satisfied with this. Whether Renly's version of "transcendence" can be better than his predecessor, this is It will depend on his performance.
Renly has gone through the script countless times, but today he has a new perspective, and he gradually begins to conceive of performances in his mind - not conceiving of characters, but conceiving of performances. This is expressionism and method. Typical differences, of course, does not mean that expressionists should not consider roles. The basis of performance is always the role, but the interpretation and analysis after in-depth analysis are completely different..
Maybe, he should start practicing the script instead of working alone behind closed doors. So, he interrupted, noticed the trivial sounds in his ears, and saw two young girls.
“What? "Sammy's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand Renly's words. Betty, who was sitting next to him, looked even more confused, her eyes moving back and forth between Renly and Sammy in a panic..
Renly did not speak, but raised the script in his hand and gestured.
Sammy leaned over to the desk, squinted her eyes and looked at it seriously. Only then did she realize that it was not a book, but a script. She nodded in realization, but made no next move. Then Renly gently Shaking the script, Sami nodded vigorously again, like a bobblehead, and hurriedly took out the script from his schoolbag. Then like a good student, he straightened his back, widened his eyes, and at the same time Still wearing a bright smile, waiting for Renly's instructions.
Betty's movements were a little slower, but then she took out the script. Her eyes were full of uneasiness and panic, and she had no idea what she should do..
Renly didn't mind, and explained in a friendly manner, "Script practice. Open the script, choose your own lines, interact with your opponent's actors, engage in performance, find the right rhythm and emotion, and at the same time find the right rhythm and emotions." Each other's performance methods, before the official shooting, we can guess a more accurate rhythm..”
Script practice is a very academic basic training. It is a very important preparation before performing on the theater stage. Of course, the main reason is because there is no room for error in live stage performances. Practice, practice, and practice again. This is The only way to polish your performance.
But in actual shooting, let alone Hollywood, even in Europe, there are fewer and fewer script exercises. More often, actors still study on their own and then complete the run-in through formal rehearsals before shooting. However, for no performance For experienced new actors, script practice is the best way to find the rhythm of performance..
Sami nodded in enlightenment, lowered his head and opened the script, searched carefully, then stopped and looked at Renly again, "Uh, how do I start? Can I start reading the lines directly?？”
Renly nodded and gave an encouraging look, and then Sammy spoke directly without any timidity or hesitation. His attitude of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers was eye-catching..
“Why are you following me? Clam? "Sammy's first line seemed to have no ups and downs. Let alone the performance, you could even hear the smile in her voice. Her voice was trembling slightly, unable to hide her excitement and nervousness. After reading it, Sammy raised her head. He started and looked at Renly, with an uncertain hesitation in his eyes..
Unexpectedly, Renly did not find fault. He continued naturally, "I didn't. It's very late. You should go home. Let's go, ma'am." The gentle voice was slightly suppressed, as if he was suppressing some emotion. , there is a faint tremor in the ending, but underneath the calm surface there is a turbulent undercurrent..
Sammy couldn't help but froze, the lines were cut off like this. She didn't expect that Renly took it so smoothly. He didn't even read the script and spoke the exact lines without any hesitation; she also didn't expect that Renly's performance So special. In comparison, her emotion just now was wrong. It was obvious that the two people were on different levels and could not form a dialogue..
Vaguely, Sami understood the meaning of script practice, "Is there any trick to this?"？”
“"Read it, read it out loud." Renly said without any secret. "You need to know what you're talking about. Lines, it's meaningful, even if it's just small talk about hello, in a movie script - I mean, excellent In the script, these all have hidden meanings. Actors are not repeaters of lines. These lines must come from the heart. Therefore, you need to clearly know what you say, why you say it, and how you feel when you say it. situation.”
Putting aside everything else, the ability to speak lines is the basic quality of an actor, but unfortunately, most actors in Hollywood now do not have this quality. In other words, they disdain such quality, and the script does not provide the relevant quality. Corresponding soil.
Sammy nodded thoughtfully, and it was unclear from his vague expression whether he understood it or not. Then he could hear Betty sitting next to him begin to read in a low voice, but the voice was real It's too vague, I can't hear it clearly at all.
Renly said, "If you plan to read aloud by yourself, then relax your voice and read aloud repeatedly; if you plan to participate in cooperation, you definitely need me to be able to hear the lines." In that indifferent tone. With a faint smile, Betty couldn't help but chuckle..
