The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

On the streets in the middle of the night, the world was quiet, and the noise that remained in the night became more and more obvious. I could vaguely hear the sound of dogs barking and beer bottles colliding, and the sense of hearing and smell seemed to be more acute. Renly can I can clearly smell the faint tobacco smell under the nose, mixed with the dampness and coldness of the early morning, lingering on my fingertips.

The train of thought finally became clear, and Renly finally understood what the missing piece of the puzzle was. But Renly didn't settle for that, but thought further: Why was this puzzle piece missing?

Obviously, the thinking just now is not expressive acting. If you follow the way of thinking and context of the academy's acting school, then Renly's performance just now is a success, the details can be slowly sculpted, but the portrayal and interpretation of emotions are correct and accurate. , enough for a movie.

But the biggest difference between film and play is that...

The depth and connotation of a drama are more reflected in the script itself, such as Shakespeare's plays, lines and plots. A large number of cumbersome and gorgeous sentences reveal all the historical, philosophical, cultural and other details hidden between the lines. This is mainly due to the limitations of the theater stage and the distance between the stage and the audience, so that the details of the actors' performances are easily drowned in the entire space.

The depth and connotation of the film are very complicated. The director's shot, the text of the script, the actor's performance, etc. are all components. In the final analysis, it is the director's shot composition, how to make full use of the actor's performance, the structure of the picture, the projection of light and the lines. The depth of the story shows the core depth of the plot. There is no doubt that the director is the absolute helm of the whole work.

Renly's performance just now is enough for the play, and the details of those expressions cannot be captured, but during the filming, especially Tony's shots, every delicate change of expressions is recorded with super close-ups. Down, then following the previous performance, the core idea of ​​the script text will become blurred.

As a result, Renly groped and pursued along the lines of the characters, explored the characters' living conditions, and then constructed the resonance between the characters and the story, and even the connection between the characters and the whole script idea. It's not expressionism, it's more methodism.

Of course, after re-entering the show, the performance is still expressive - the point is not whether Renly can resonate with Henry's experience in a methodical way, but that Tony's camera needs Renly to stay in this state, in the The desperate line of life and death is struggling, from numbness to shock, sadness, despair, pain, avoidance, dodge, and then back to numbness, and finally shock again, and then change.

Tony's focus is to record the delicate changes of the entire emotion. After recording it in a microscope, it reflects the ideological depth and height of the whole work.

Therefore, expressionism is still Renly's first choice, but the emotional starting point has to be adjusted slightly: emotions that break down because of sadness, emotions that break down because of despair, these are two very different performance styles, eyes, expressions and movements. The changes will give the character a different touch.

If you just follow the emotional drive of the method school, then the emotions that erupt are strong and fierce enough, and at the same time on the right track, but the subtle differences cannot be distinguished, not to mention the level and depth, even the succession and transformation will appear. Fuzzy, the three-stage structure of the whole scene, the two turning points, will not show at all. Under Tony's microscope, such a performance would be a little rough and deliberate, losing that pseudo-documentary realism.

Only expressive acting can meet Renly's requirements and withstand Tony's test.

But, interestingly, Renly once again combined the two performances in a way that was completely different from any of the previous works. Does this work?

From the standpoint of a third party, whether it is a method school or an expressive school, including the experience school, in the final analysis, performance is still a performance, and the core meaning is still in the role. Serve.

The advantages of Expressionism lie in precision, layering and control, the advantages of Methodism lie in self-absorption, drama and vividness, and the advantages of Experientialism in integration, authenticity and freshness. Each performance has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as its own characteristics. So, can Renly learn from each other's strengths and devote themselves to the performance with their own understanding? Rather than deliberately distinguishing different performance styles.

This is a bold guess. But Renly also knows that he can't be greedy for more than he can chew. He is far from being a master in any single performance style. He can only be said to be on the right track. If you want to fly, the ending can only be shattered. He can embrace the dream of flying, and then polish his walking and running skills down-to-earth, and one day, he can spread his wings and soar.

He took a deep breath, temporarily gathered his scattered thoughts, and began to think about the scene just now.

After the whole idea of ​​the performance is clear, things become relatively simple. This is what Renly is best at. The origin, development, transformation, and settlement of emotions, and even the turbulence and boiling of emotions, instantly start to become noisy in the mind. Renly didn't rush back to the crew, but went around in circles, rehearsing again and again, pondering every turn over and over, and his brain gradually became brighter.

However, talk on paper is just empty air after all, and the specifics need to be demonstrated in practice.

Renly hurried back to the crew, and did not notice the depressed low pressure of the crew at all, but went straight to find Tony, and briefly exchanged a few words, Renly said that he would put in the performance first.

At a glance, not only Tony needs to savor it, but Renly himself needs to reconsider. He must examine his performance through the lens, and only in this way can he have a more three-dimensional thinking space for the entire performance.

Tony nodded in agreement.

Sammy's eyes always followed Renly, and she was uneasy. Seeing Renly, she returned to the bus. She quickly ran over, but after only two steps, the makeup artist's shout came. "Stop, stop, you have to touch up your makeup!"

Unlike Renly, Sammy had to wear makeup, and for the role, she had to wear a lot of makeup. Sammy was crying so hard just now that all her makeup had been spent. She completely forgot about it and just wanted to appear in the mirror. The makeup artist would naturally not make such a mistake.

In fact, Renly needs touch-ups too. Instead of putting on makeup, I wiped away all the remaining tears on my cheeks to ensure that I could go into a new round of shooting with a fresh face. The makeup artist belonging to Renly also trotted into the bus and started to get busy.

Sammy's eyes kept rolling, looking at the surrounding crew. Everyone exudes an air of extreme exhaustion and irritability, but they have to suppress it. It is like a volcano that is about to erupt, but it is suppressed to death. If the wind is calm, it may be suppressed silently. Go down, but with a little bit of trouble, the volcano will explode with unimaginable power.

This made Sammy even more nervous, his throat was horribly dry, and even his swallowing movements were a little incoherent. "Calm down, the protagonist of this scene is Renly, just follow him, don't worry." The makeup artist could detect Sammy's body trembling slightly, and the uncontrollable tension was revealed in the violently shaking pupils , In order to successfully complete the shooting, he had to advise.

Sammy nodded understandingly, not sure if she was listening.

Staring blankly at the restless and depressed crew, the turbulence and turmoil that the mountains and rains are about to blow over the building are everywhere, and there is a trace of irritable impatience and contempt between everyone's eyebrows, Sammy's The mood couldn't help but tighten. Even after seeing Betty's encouraging eyes, Sammy still didn't laugh. I was able to summon up the courage and silently walked to the end of the bus, ready to start shooting.

Soon, the crew was back into filming again.

For the first time, Sammy made a mistake and appeared in a close-up shot of Renly, and the performance was interrupted before it even started.

The second time, Sammy made another mistake and grabbed the beat ahead of time. Renly's first performance had just begun, and she had already started to perform. As a result, the director's content was all misplaced.

The third time, Renly made a mistake, the makeup artist was too hard, and put powder next to Renly's nose, which caused the camera to look very weird.

The fourth time, Sammy made another mistake. The previous filming was very smooth, and it was already in the second half, but Sammy forgot his lines and got stuck, causing Renly's first half of the performance to fall short.

...

After re-entering the shooting, it was a disaster. Not only did things not go smoothly, but it became more difficult. Stumblingly, a scene was repeated so many times that not even a single full shot was completed. The atmosphere of the crew could not help but become more impetuous - why continue to shoot? Isn't that enough to use the full scene from the previous one? In the blink of an eye, forty minutes have passed, and they are still spinning in place. What is this? Ghost hit the wall?

"Sami, calm down. We have been shooting this scene for four days. We should know the process better than anyone. After the brain is cleared, it is enough to follow the inertia of intuition."

Renly also noticed Sammy's strangeness, and couldn't help but comfort him, which seemed to calm Sammy a little. The next filming went wrong again, and then it went through without a hitch. The whole performance was smooth and seamless, and it looked so good that there was no reason to ask for more.

But that's just what the staff think, what about Tony? What about Renly?
