794 Sweating profusely
“Director, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge to choose an actor as young as Renly Hall to play such a heavy and profound role. How did you choose Renly in the first place?？”
“Renly, welcome to Berlin, thank you for bringing such a work. I would like to ask, before taking on "Transcendence", you have achieved considerable success in the commercial aspect, so you chose such a strong artistic style and experimental nature. Rich works definitely require courage. What did you think at first?？”
“I want to ask about Renly. The two scenes that impressed me the most, no, three scenes, one was the bus scene, one was the farewell scene for Erica, and the other one was the final reading scene. How did you figure out the character in these three scenes? The emotions and emotions in each scene are very strong and delicate, and the transition from beginning to end is clear and accurate. I am very curious about how you perform it..”
“Tony, my question is: In this work, you used a lot of close-ups and restored the grain of the film. What inspired you to make this choice? Also, how did you capture the details of Renly's performance?？”
“Renly, can you tell us about your co-stars? It is the first time for these two young actors to appear on the big screen, but their performances are really outstanding. Can you talk about your interaction during the performance?？”
“Renly, I have a curiosity, why Henry's emotions were so calm when he first appeared and when he finally ended. He was even cold and alienated. There was no sadness and pain as imagined, nor the loneliness and loneliness as imagined. , how did you figure out this role?？”
“Tony, I'd like to ask about the Adolf-Hit/ler allusion, does it have any profound meaning?？”
“Renly, how did Henry deal with his relationship with his grandfather and mother? How did Henry become a teacher without family guidance? And why? Can you share with us your speculation and understanding during the performance?？”
……
According to the convention of the film festival, after the screening, there will be a question-and-answer session for the audience. The audience at the scene was extremely proactive and asked questions one after another, with almost no breathing space..
As the top priority, Renly took on two-thirds or even more of the questions. The microphone was like a hot potato, stuck in his palm. He kept trying to deflect it, but never succeeded. Even though Renly was trying to pull the strings. Direct the question to Sammy, Betty, and even Carl, Marcia, Tony and other people, but after going around in a circle, the question will come back to him again.
Not only that, every question is so professional and profound. The average quality of the questions far exceeds that of Sundance and Telluride, which really makes Renly a little overwhelmed - but, this is the purpose of the audience. They I hope to share my opinions with the creative staff, and also hope to argue with the crew on certain points, either in agreement or criticism..
The meaning of art is that it can trigger a variety of different ideas. If after watching a movie, all viewers have the same idea, with no change, no diversity, and no levels, then at least from an artistic perspective , this work is a failure. As for popcorn, what it pursues is pleasure, not art, so that’s another matter.
The thirty-minute audience question session was packed to the brim, and when the last question was asked, it had already timed out, but Renly still answered it in a friendly manner; followed closely by the reporter's question session, unlike the audience, The reporters left their seats, surrounded the crew members with flowers, and rushed to ask questions..
The person with the smallest crowd was not the two new actors, but the screenwriter Carl Lund - a member of the crew who lives behind the scenes and always gets a little less attention, but even Carl was surrounded by seven or eight people Reporters are overwhelmed with questions one after another. As for the focus of attention, let alone talk about it..
Renly was surrounded by people on three levels inside and outside. The bustling scene was staggering, comparable to the popular booth at San Diego Comic-Con..
But even so, there was still an endless stream of reporters milling around, and even Tony, Marcia and others all added insult to injury. "You can ask Renly these questions," "Why not ask Renly," "I think Renly More suitable to answer”……
The boiling crowd was like a sea wave, sweeping in one after another, tightly surrounded from all directions, with absolutely nowhere to escape, almost equivalent to a secret room - unless Renly could spread his wings. Among the dense crowd, the air It began to become thick and hot, and gradually, Renly's back began to sweat..
This is absolutely incredible.
In this life, growing up, one of the important etiquettes of nobles is to avoid sweating profusely in public as much as possible, especially in summer. After sweating under the armpits, the shirt is soaked. That is a very rude behavior. Or you should do it immediately. Change clothes, or wear a tight coat to cover up.
What's more, people start to control the amount of sweating and truly sweat as they wish, which completely goes against the physical phenomenon; as for those who can't do it, some people choose to use surgery to block the sweat glands under their armpits..
Renly is not that crazy, but in a quiet state, he does not sweat easily. What's more, now that he is in Berlin in the cold winter of February, his back is actually starting to sweat..
Finally, the reporters gradually dispersed, but Renly no longer knew how much time had passed and how many questions he had answered. He just felt that his throat was on fire, dry and painful, which was really embarrassing..
A bottle of mineral water was handed to him, and a restrained and polite voice rang out, "I'll be prepared next time." Turning around, Renly saw Jake Gyllenhaal.——
Jack stood far away, about two steps away, clearly dividing the separation line; then he raised his right hand straight up, holding the bottle of mineral water, because the distance was so far that he had to tilt his upper body slightly Lean forward, but still refuse to get closer, as if there is a bottomless ravine between the two people; with a warm smile on his face, his eyes are calm and natural, but still a little stiff and reserved, with tight shoulders and dry eyes His lips reveal his caution.
Such an appearance really makes people laugh..
Renly refused politely, took the mineral water, raised his hand in salute, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured two small sips of water down his throat. After his dry throat was moisturized, he finally came back to life, slightly. The frowned eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he looked at Jack, "The difference between novices and veterans can still be seen in the details..”
This self-complaint made Jack laugh shyly, "After the first time, the second time is much better. Although, for many people, the first time is left aside..”
“Are you complaining about your first trip to the Berlin Film Festival? "Renly asked with a smile..
Unexpectedly, Jack shrugged and curled his lips, "I have never participated in the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival." Then he saw Renly's surprised eyes and shrugged again, "What I said is the truth. .Honestly, I don’t know why the main committee would choose an actor who has never participated in the main competition unit to serve as a judge..”
“They also invited an Algerian writer." Renly's answer made Jack stunned, and then nodded seriously, "It seems that I am quite competent..”
This is always the case at the three major European film festivals. The composition of the jury every year is puzzling. They include writers, photographers, models, painters, and even actors who have never heard of them. As the saying goes, art is universal. However, the chairmen of the jury are often more reliable. They are the ones who control the overall direction..
For example, at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, the jury president was Quentin Tarantino. He greatly praised the documentary "Fahrenheit 911". After intense discussions and deliberations, the Palme d'Or was finally awarded to "Fahrenheit 9/11". If it weren't for Quentin, this would be almost impossible.
This year’s Berlin Film Festival jury president is Mike Lee.
Jack noticed Renly's gaze and added, "Back then, 'Brokeback Mountain' applied for Berlin and Cannes, but was rejected. So, I have been to Cannes and Venice, but Berlin? This is the first times." Renly suddenly realized and gently lowered his jaw..
After a pause, Jack continued, "Congratulations, your work just now is very exciting." Then you can see Jack's upper body leaning forward slightly again, always keeping a distance, but unable to suppress his excitement, "Honestly, your The lines are really wonderful. Do you have any tricks? You know, you know, you can hide all the emotions between the lines without using too much effort and without too many embellishments. That kind of power naturally fits the plot. How do you do it? of？”
This was only the first time Renly and Jack met. They only said hello for the first time on the red carpet. The two of them didn't even have a formal self-introduction. However, at this moment, Jack showed incredible enthusiasm and persistence. , after Renly understood it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing..
“Jack, you are an excellent actor..." Before Renly could finish his words, Jack interrupted directly, "But not outstanding, let alone great." Jack did not hide his disappointment and said sharply. He complained, "When I was performing 'Brokeback Mountain' before, Lee kept emphasizing that he asked me to feel those emotions and feel those lines, but I couldn't do it. I really couldn't do it. This is really frustrating." By the way, I think if you cooperate with Li, it will be very exciting. You can definitely meet Li's requirements..”
“In "Brokeback Mountain", Jack's performance is wonderful, even when facing Heath Ledger. But Jack commented like this, which shows that he has strict requirements on himself..
So, Renly stopped being polite and modest, and said frankly, "Jack, have you ever tried to study formal academy acting in England? If you accept a similar course, reading lines will be a basic skill at the very beginning. The point is, what we read aloud is not a script, but a newspaper……”
