Robert Downey Jr. in "Gravity."

This is indeed something that Renly never imagined, the Sandra Bullock version of "Gravity" in the previous life, to a certain extent, limited Renly's imagination, and all thoughts and thoughts were taken for granted by the actress But he ignored that, in the preparatory stage of the film, everything is possible, and the essence of artistic creation lies in breaking the limit and frame.

A simple example, "Agent Short", the original protagonist was Tom Cruise, but he later resigned. After negotiating and negotiating, the crew chose Angelina Jolie, which completely changed the role; another example, the American drama In "Basic Deduction", the role of Dr. Watson is directly played by Lucy Liu, the male becomes female, and the white person becomes Asian.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in Hollywood.

More importantly, just thirty seconds ago, when he learned that Sandra Bullock joined "The Big Dreamer", he just realized that the butterfly effect has begun to affect the reality and future of Hollywood in all aspects. The fixed cognition of I must learn to be flexible. However, he still made the mistake of empiricism just now, and some took it for granted.

Now that he opened his mind, Renly couldn't help thinking seriously, if Robert Downey Jr. played "Gravity"... In "Iron Man 3", Tony Stark was once trapped in the armor , Survival in a desperate situation, will "Gravity" become an extended version of that segment?

Just imagining it in his head made Renly laugh. This isn't an offense or contempt for Robert Downey Jr., but the finished style of "Gravity" is indeed a far cry from Robert's.

In 2008, after making a comeback with "Iron Man", Robert replaced Johnny Depp and became the first person in Hollywood. After that, his film contracts continued, and he also made many different attempts, such as "Tropical". Thunder" and "Solo" for example, these are all breakthroughs and challenges worthy of recognition.

However, after that, Robert gradually began to become lazy.

After an image or a character succeeds, they naturally begin to follow the same routine and give up more exploration and pursuit. This can be said to be Robert's choice or the agent's advice. Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp in their prime.

After 2011, Robert starred in a total of six works, five of which were Iron Man Tony Stark.

The only exception is "Daddy Judge" in 2014. But unfortunately, the word of mouth was a mess, the media comprehensive review was only 48 points, and the box office performance was terrible. After that, Robert became more "focused". Apart from Iron Man, there are hardly any other characters on the big screen. .

So, think about it, the image of Tony Stark overlaps with Ryan Stone of "Gravity", and the strong sense of disobedience really makes people smile.

"If it's a male character, how are you going to tell the story?" When you realize your mistake, you need to correct it. Renly straightened his posture and humbly asked for advice.

Faced with such a problem, Alfonso not only did not get nervous, but instead became more concentrated. He supported his hands on the round table, matched his words with gestures, and explained incessantly, "In traditional religion and philosophy, women often represent the Tenderness, and newness; and men tend to represent strength, and originality."

Renly put down the knife and fork temporarily, and in his mind the "gravity" of the previous life, completely eliminated his brain, emptied his mind, and re-understood the work "Gravity" bit by bit from scratch.

This is not easy, because the "Gravity" of the last life was a work that Renly liked very much, but now it needs to be completely overturned and even pulled out of the core idea of ​​the story. It's changed more than anything Renly has done so far.

"If we tell this story from a female perspective, the focus is on the hope of nurturing life and breaking out of the ground; but if we interpret the whole story from a male perspective, our narrative focus is on survival of the fittest and the strong prey on the weak."

Philosophy and reflection are always illusory, and Alfonso's words are too abstract to be concreted, let alone associated with a character. Instead of rushing to start thinking, Renly listened carefully, absorbing and digesting bit by bit. As of now, it's still cloudy.

"Under the desperate situation of the existential crisis, men also fell into a situation where their lives were on the line, and the tough protective shell was finally defeated. In despair, he thought of his wife, his children, and even his parents, and he felt deeply in his heart. The fear in the world is magnified little by little, especially in the lonely environment of outer space, the softness and fragility, which are diametrically opposed to traditional concepts, have become a shadow that swallows vitality.”

Alfonso's explanation is still abstract, but Renly has vaguely captured some inspiration, "Either you choose to kill yourself and die completely, or you can resist and seize the silver lining. Even if there is no hope of survival in outer space, you can rely on your own Hands create a way of life."

In a real desperate situation, in fact, men and women are the same, and the desire to survive is everyone's instinct.

The only difference is that women symbolize the birth of life and emerge from the cocoon in a gentle and tenacious way, so in the previous life's "Gravity", there was a picture composition in which Sandra curled up into a baby, floating. In the space station, the state of the womb/uterus is simulated.

The male symbolizes the creation of the world, in a strong and decisive way,

After being tempered by fire, Nirvana is reborn. Correspondingly, it is also possible to simulate the state of the womb/palace in the movie, but it requires the actor to be tougher and stronger, just like Pangu, splitting the chaos and giving birth to the world.

The same implication, under the difference of gender, the actors endow the film with different philosophical meanings with subtle and delicate performance differences, but in the final analysis, the core idea reflected is still the same——

"Yes, that's what it means!" Alfonso nodded in affirmation, and the words continued.

"Under the situation without any hope, Ryan calmed down and tore apart all the problems with his bare hands, overcame the impossible, overcame nature, and overcame the laws of the universe, and forcibly opened up a new life. Self-redemption, it also means that human beings have recaptured gravity, and a new life has been quietly born in the cruel living environment of the universe."

Gradually, Renly drew a vague outline in his mind, still not very clear, just a few fragments of inspiration, but free from the influence of Sandra Bullock's version of "gravity", and scribbled out the male version of the character. "Gravity". He needs more embodied symbols.

"Have you watched this year's Best Picture Oscar nominee 'The Tree of Life'?" Renly's question caused Alfonso to be stunned for a while, and his thoughts seemed to have not kept up, so Renly went on to explain, "In this film In the film, the first third of the scene is very thought-provoking. The director juxtaposes life on earth and human life.”

"On one side is the birth of the earth. From the Big Bang to the Cambrian and Jurassic periods, life grew from nothing, from single cells to complex human beings, as well as natural changes and changes in the earth, until the demise of the dinosaurs. There is the birth of human beings; on the other side is the gestation of human beings, the cells, bacteria and embryos placed under the microscope. In fact, the origin of the earth and the birth of human beings are connected.”

"The Tree of Life" is a very esoteric movie. Before watching the movie, the audience must have a certain understanding of science, philosophy, religion, biology, astronomy and other related fields. Otherwise, the metaphors and hints of those pictures cannot be truly felt.

As far as Renly is concerned, he does not like this kind of work, because it is more like an American conservative Catholic self-interpretation of faith, religion, and life, and lacks a true tolerance and tolerance; but from an artistic point of view , the picture, composition, photography and plot setting are indeed worth studying.

"It is where the branches of the tree of life stretch out, and we see unexplored rays of light, vast nebulae, moving stars, planets before they take shape, sun and moon blocked by black storms, life-giving streaks of lightning , throbbing pristine lakes, prehistoric plants and animals, slowly dancing jellyfish, hammerhead sharks, dinosaurs living on the riverbank, the eyes of a fetus, and most importantly, a newborn child."

These are not Renly's own words, but the opening chapter of "The Tree of Life," a poetic prose that, in a few strokes, outlines the origin of the earth and the birth of life, as well as the changes of nature.

"I mean, we stand on the surface of the earth, look up at the tree of life, and see the vastness of the universe; then, if we are in outer space and look down at the earth and life, then what we see should be What's wrong? The flow of the river of life, the eruption of the volcano of life, or the nothingness of the vicissitudes of life and the passing of time, we are like a drop in the ocean, small but great."

Undoubtedly, Renly went a step further than Alfonso, standing at a higher, wider and deeper angle, giving "gravity" a deeper meaning. It even got rid of the shackles of gender and blurred the difference between living bodies, only referring to "life".

Alfonso tasted some mystery carefully, "So, how should we present it?"

"If it is an actress, the picture may present a womb/palace, implying the birth of life; while for an actor, the picture presented is nothingness or chaos, and then it is like the one at the beginning of the universe. Big bang, bang, life begins, and time begins. There was no chance at first, but he slashed and opened up a ray of hope." Renly gradually visualized his thoughts, the image of the character. The contours and the way in which the performance is performed, slowly begin to become clear.

"Aha! Yes!" Alfonso suddenly realized, snapped his fingers, but then fell into deep thought again, "No, this composition is still too simple. We should go deeper, wait, the script needs to be done. Adjustment……"

Thinking about it, Alfonso ignored Renly's existence and fell into his own thoughts.
