"What? What the hell happened?"

Seth, with question marks all over his head, watched Renly and Will walk into the room, feeling a little out of step with the rhythm. Renly is really maverick. From the first moment of his debut today, Seth felt that his common sense had been broken many times, and he couldn't understand Renly's every move.

Yes, he can understand Renly's thoughts and ideas that he wants to communicate with the writers, but why are two people communicating alone? Then put the other rival actors aside, what is this? Shouldn't the first thing an actor do when he enters the crew is to develop a tacit understanding with his partner in the opposite play?

Judging from the number of opponents' scenes, he cooperates with Renly the most, and it is not easy for the two to interpret the tacit understanding behind the friendship.

Judging from the chemical reaction of the opponent's play, the cooperation between Anna and Renly is the most difficult. Anna will play the role of a psychiatrist and communicate with Adam, which is a bit embarrassing and warm.

Judging from the gap in the opponent's play, Bryce is the person that Renly needs to communicate with, because she will play Adam's girlfriend who later betrayed Adam, and the two chose to break up. The emotional change between the couple is a very important part of the branch line.

In other words, the whole movie is based on Renly as the core character, and then radiates a circle, every link is closely related to Renly, but now, Renly has left everyone else aside and has a relationship with Will. Communication, and even refusing to let other actors in, it's just so weird!

Seth turned to look at Anna, Bryce and the others, and cast inquiring eyes, but everyone was confused and could not answer. Seth glared at Bryce and seemed to say, "Shouldn't you be his girlfriend? Even if it's a private conversation, it should be your past." This refers to the characters on the show.

Bryce spread her hands and looked at Seth speechlessly: How could she know?

Think about it again, since the time of the phone call, Renly didn't play cards according to common sense - otherwise, how could any reasonable person be willing to be ordered to act in such a low-cost independent work, and also have to shave. Shaved head, with the Oscars just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Seth took a little comfort.

Nathan walked out, then closed the door of the room, blocking everyone's sight, turned around, and found himself the center of attention, which made his liver tremble, "Uh...I Go to the bathroom." Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best policy.

Renly looked at the room. It was simple and elegant. The furniture was made of raw wood, with no extra decoration. It was simple and unadorned. neat.

"Is this the same style as your own home?" Renly asked.

"Well, basically the same." Will nodded affirmatively, but then thought of something and added, "But none of these things are mine, they are all repurchased."

Renly laughed dumbly and sat down at the desk, only to see Will still standing stiffly not far from the entrance. In comparison, Renly is more like the host, and Will is the guest.

From this small detail alone, it can be seen that Will is not a social personality, and he is also relatively slow. Even in the short contact just now, the two had a good conversation, but it was more due to the atmosphere at the scene, and Seth was also there, which was helpful.

"Sit down, please," Renly offered a friendly invitation. "Before the official script, I want to talk to you about the script, or, more precisely, I want to talk to you about yourself."

Will's sitting down paused slightly, showing a puzzled look.

Renly had to explain, "Seth told me that this script is based on your own experience." Will nodded to confirm, "I believe that the details and plot of the script will be very real and true. It shows the whole process of facing cancer. But I'm more curious about what kind of person you were before you knew you had cancer."

The main line and core of the entire script of "Anti-Cancer Me" falls on the theme of "Treatment of Cancer", and all the sidelines and plots revolve around this.

This is the advantage of the script, but also the disadvantage of the script.

The advantage is authenticity and delicacy. From the moment of learning about cancer, to accepting it calmly, to receiving treatment, and a series of mood changes after that, the description of the state of each episode is extremely realistic, without the slightest dramatic treatment, completely reflecting Will's The journey of the mind is presented. It can be said that this is a script that can easily impress the audience and awaken resonance.

The disadvantage is that the role is limited. Because all the focus is on cancer, and the impact of cancer on life is also actively shown, which makes the script not have too much space to shape the characters. Each character in the script is only set up with basic settings, each character extracts a more distinct point in his character, and then develops it. Relatively speaking, the character is relatively simple.

From a writer's and director's point of view, it doesn't matter. Because the dramatic tension of the work is enough, and this is still a comedy work, with some humorous jokes added, there is not much room left for a 100-minute movie. Completion is a bonus.

This is the case with the "cancer-fighting me" in my previous life. The overall quality of the work is not bad, but for the actors, this is not good news, because it is left to the actors

The play space is very limited.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance was really good, and several explosive scenes showed tension, which also earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy. But those scenes were not about the characters themselves, but about cancer.

To put it simply, what the audience sees is a person's emotional ups and downs when facing cancer, and even out of control, but they can't see Adam himself. This "one person" can be replaced by anyone.

This also means that when actors are performing, they lack a foothold. The performance can be wonderful, but in the end, it is just a mirage, a castle in the sky, and the role cannot stand scrutiny.

Joseph's performance in "Anti-Cancer Me" has many commendable highlights, but from the standpoint of performance, in fact, his performance is not much different from the previous "500 Days with Summer" , it can almost be said that two similar characters are copied and pasted into different works, the only difference is that the things that the two characters encounter are different——

Or it can be said that it was the same person who experienced the story of breaking up and became "500 Days with Summer"; then he suffered from cancer and became "Anti-Cancer Me".

But Renly is not Joseph, and the way he performs and interprets it is completely different from Joseph. Renly didn't plan to copy Joseph's performance, much less "500 Days with Summer".

Renly knew very well that different people and different personalities deal with cancer differently, so the difference in performance in emergencies is precisely the reflection of the character's edges and corners.

Whether it is method performance or expressive performance, in-depth understanding of the role is a very important part.

However, relatively speaking, the method school will pay more attention to it. Because the expressionists focus more on the accuracy of acting skills, while the methodists focus more on the character's experience, it can be understood that the former focuses on themselves, and the latter focuses on the role - such descriptions are somewhat general, but in general terms, There is indeed such a tendency.

While Will didn't write much about it in the script, he used himself as a model when he wrote it. Therefore, if he wants to dig further into the role and make the entire gorgeous castle in the sky have a stable foundation, he must have a deeper understanding of Will.

It was Adam who had cancer, not Chu Jiashu, nor Renly. Adam from Will Riesel.

"Me?" Will couldn't help laughing, the question was a bit unexpected and made him a little flustered, "I'm just a very ordinary person, I don't have any special features. I'm standing in front of you now, you should see it very well. clear."

Renly chuckled, "Will, relax, I'm not a psychiatrist, and I'm not your date, I just want to talk to you about the script." This teasing remark made Will relax a little." I mean, if it's a character that doesn't have any features, then he can't be the main character of the script, can't he? So, I need to dig into the character."

Will froze for a moment. He could understand what Renly meant, but when he thought about it, he didn't think about the character when he wrote the script for "Me Against Cancer." Because, all the plots come from personal experience, after the second creation of the brain, if the writing is like a god, it will be written naturally...and so on.

Thinking of this, Will realized what Renly really meant at this time. But what is he going to say? He doesn't know what's special about him? As the protagonist of a movie, is there anything about him that deserves attention? Also, what are the characteristics of Adam in his writings?

Will was suddenly at a loss, because the script didn't write too much about these things. Overall, Adam is a person with a peaceful personality, but he insisted on not giving up in difficult situations, and always remained positive and optimistic...

Will suddenly realized that Adam is indeed a character without edges and corners. With such an ordinary character as the male protagonist, would anyone want to go into the cinema to watch it?

This made Will stunned - although he was a screenwriter and has always insisted on writing scripts, he has been active in the field of TV dramas and radio, and "Me Against Cancer" is only his first movie script. Will's confidence begins to plummet.

Renly didn't know that in just a few seconds, Will's mind was full of vicissitudes, and he further explained, "I mean, what do you like to do, other than writing."
