"So, Owen himself has no way of determining whether he wants Claire back?" Bryce asked hesitantly.

"No, Owen wants Claire to come back, he just can't be sure if he won't hurt Claire again." Renly shook his head and explained clearly, "So you see, in fact, Owen has been deliberately teasing Claire, he Really wanted them to be together, but when Claire really looked straight into the problem, he buried his head in the sand like an ostrich."

"He needs a breakthrough." Bryce suddenly realized.

Renly snapped his fingers, "Yes, he needs a breakthrough, and the moment of life and death created by this dinosaur accident is such a breakthrough, not just adrenaline like 'speed of life', but both sides: On the one hand, Irving realizes that his withdrawal will not solve the problem, and his feelings for Claire will not lie; It's only now that I realize how difficult it is to get rid of those hurts, Irving has been working on it, and she should work even harder."

"Look, this is the key breakthrough, and it's a baptism of thought for both sides," Renly concluded.

In fact, for emotions in real life, such a setting is too routine and too simple to touch the deep and complicated emotions of "crazy in love"; but for commercial movies, at the routine level It is enough to extend and develop a little content. In the case of avoiding dragging down the overall narrative rhythm of the film, giving the story more core can not only lay the groundwork for the grand blueprint of the sequel, but also allow the characters and audience to have more Bonding resonance.

More importantly, these sequel foreshadowings are much more advanced than the obvious "foreshadowing for the sake of the sequel" of the Marvel movie series.

This is not an easy task, but because of the existence of Renly and Bryce, it has a certain degree of operability, and then it depends on whether Colin can execute it properly.

Bryce nodded lightly again. In this way, Owen's conflict at the first meeting was logical, and she couldn't help but start to chew it carefully: In just one scene, Renly's performance still has a lot to pay attention to. place for research.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Colin's voice came from a long way, and the annoyance on his face could not be concealed, "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me, I ruined everything at the last moment, God, I ruined an almost perfect scene."

Renly said with a smile on his face, "Why do you think it's perfect? ​​I think there is still room for improvement, director, you won't look down on me like that, will you?"

Colin was dumbfounded, looking at Renly, not knowing what to do.

But looking at Renly carefully, he gradually found the mischievous smile in the extension of Renly. Colin may not be sure, so he could only cast a look at Bryce for help, and then saw Blythe Si laughed happily, "He's joking." Colin then confirmed his thoughts and let out a long sigh of relief.

Renly's expression softened again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Colin, I'm serious, are you sure there's nothing wrong with the performance of the scene just now? Will my rhythm be too heavy? Would that silent two-shot be too much of an art film performance and need to be played out? Or is it more direct?"

Renly is serious, he needs to ask for advice humbly, looking forward to learning more performance methods.

But Colin thought Renly was joking, waved his hands in denial, and said two polite words. Only then did he confirm Renly's true thoughts from Renly's focused and determined eyes, and he temporarily put his guard aside. Come down, "Renly, I'm serious, in this scene, I used the medium shot to leave you two seconds to fill in the blanks, used silence to show the delicacy of the performance, and tried to dig out the emotional chemistry between the characters as much as possible. Response, it couldn't have been better!"

"Similarly, in the end, you watched the back of Claire leaving. This empty shot is also very, very good. I need to rethink the angle of the scene and the frame of the composition, but there is no problem with the content of your performance." Colin is also starting to enter the state now. , the words became a lot more cheerful, "Honolulu's sunshine is very good, I am thinking about whether to use the warm tones created by the sunshine to reflect the state of separation between the characters, both light and composition need to be It's been a really interesting attempt to make some changes, and we're trying to flesh out the characters without compromising the overall narrative rhythm as much as possible."

The story of Owen and Claire will not be fully revealed in the entire first part, but will be left to the second part to tell. In the first story, only the reason why the two broke up is revealed. This is a trade-off made to avoid affecting the rhythm of the main storyline and the climax of the movie. Of course, if the first one is successful and there is a sequel, then the second story will be much fuller.

However, how to effectively present the relationship between characters in the concise composition of the picture is the job responsibility of the director.

"If there is a place that can be improved, it's only a very small place... I mean, it's really a very small place..." When the conversation changed, Colin hesitated half-hesitantly. speak up.

Renly and Bryce both cast their gazes towards Colin and noticed Colin's pause. Renly thought that his performance was not enough, but because of his status and identity, Colin did not dare to say it easily. So he kept smiling and looked at him earnestly.

Looking at Colin, sending a friendly signal, hope the director will be outspoken.

In fact, as far as Renly is concerned, he is very keen to communicate with the director. He mentioned it at the Sundance Film Festival before. The director's opinion is not necessarily 100% correct - after all, the director's understanding and interpretation of the performance It's all different, but the director's opinion can put the actors back on the right track and become part of the movie.

In addition, it also plays an important role in the improvement and progress of actors.

Now Renly is humbly adjusting to the rhythm of commercial film performances, and he is very happy to listen to the director's opinions.

Colin could detect Renly's gaze, his expression was slightly restrained, and finally turned to look at Bryce - the object of improvement was not Renly.

Bryce always kept a low profile, she immediately said generously, "Tell me, what parts need to be revised, we can discuss it carefully." Bryce is also a delicate thinker, she can detect Colin's hesitation , so he added, "Trust me, I know Renly is a very good actor, and I'm trying to catch up with him. I can accept criticism and correction. Only in this way can I improve, isn't it?"

Although it was a little too serious, it made the atmosphere serious, but Bryce's modesty could still be seen.

Colin scratched his head, "It's the emotional outburst scene, you start blaming Owen, but it's actually Owen's unwillingness to establish a relationship and pushing you away. In this scene, your performance is too stage drama, and the whole emotion is a little too fierce It's too dramatic, which makes the whole scene a little uncoordinated. I think it may be better to be more restrained. I'm not sure, I just feel that the weight of the whole scene is a little out of balance. "

"Then, should I slow down my tone?" Bryce also discussed it seriously.

But this question made Colin stuck, "Uh...I'm not too sure...I just...uh, I just feel a little too emotional."

Because Colin couldn't give a clear idea, Bryce fell into the rut of thinking, and the communication between the two was not smooth.

Renly stood beside him and pondered for a while, "Director, see if my understanding is correct." Colin and Bryce both cast their gazes at Renly, "Throughout the whole scene, Owen's tone is It's easier, he's been flirting with Claire; and Claire's response is a little more serious, which makes the rhythm of the two a little out of balance, which creates a light comedy effect."

"Then, when the dark past between Owen and Claire is told, it is too sharp and too heavy, it will cause the atmosphere of the whole scene to be out of balance, and then it will become ... jerky and weird, just like It's like you've painted a patch of yellow, or even red, on a white wall; but you want to see off-white, to be able to distinguish it from white, without completely distracting."

Colin and Bryce can vaguely catch some outlines, because Renly's metaphors and explanations are very vivid, and they are not difficult to understand; but how should they be in practice?

Renly continued, "Bryce, I think the director meant that when Claire complained about being angry, she should be more lighthearted, she's not a grudge, she's not a victim, so she's at this moment. Not blaming Owen, but stating a fact that hurts both of them. So, Claire should be complaining, or fighting back, which is a way of teasing against teasing."

With this explanation, things became clear immediately.

Bryce's eyes suddenly lit up: In fact, it is the difference in the emotional starting point. If it is an accusation or a complaint, then the presentation of the entire sentence must be more sharp and more fierce, which is incompatible with the overall atmosphere, and then Colin appeared. But if it’s a rant or bickering, it throws out that dark past lightly, just like in “The Cancer-fighting Me”, Adam sees his cancer in a positive and optimistic way, Claire and Owen also The relatively light-hearted approach to dealing with the pain can make all the difference.

Performances are colored, and different styles of performances can often create different viewing effects. Bryce immediately understood.
