Movie Master

There are many methods of performance teaching, one of which is to go into battle in person, show the way, posture and essence of performance, and then let students comprehend it. Many directors are also keen to use this method in the directing process, telling the actors the specific effects they want most directly and effectively, and then the actors present them according to their own understanding.

The advantages and disadvantages of this method are very obvious. The advantage is that the actors can clearly tell their own requirements, and they can meet the shooting requirements as long as the actors follow suit; Limit the actor's understanding of the script.

As far as Lance personally is concerned, he doesn't like this method very much, because his consistent experience tells him that the reason why actors are unique is that each actor has his own way of understanding the role, the script, and the performance, so Different actors playing the same role can burst out with different sparks, and different actors and the same director can also produce different chemical reactions.

Now, though, Tom was clearly hitting a wall, and Lance had to try a different approach.

Tom folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the back of Lance walking towards the taxi in some surprise. "Murder with a Borrowing Knife" has been filming for five days. Lance has shown his deep understanding of acting skills, and after putting into the performance, he has shown sufficient skills. The solid basic skills and outstanding comprehension are impressive; but objectively speaking He said that the previous scenes were not very difficult, and the actors of the entire crew did not encounter too many challenges. Therefore, Tom still has doubts about Lance's acting ability.

It is not an easy task to convincingly believe an unknown actor who jumped out of nowhere.

Now, Lance wants to demonstrate? Tom thinks this is a very interesting thing, because Vincent and Max are two completely different roles, and Lance's ability to play Max's role does not mean that he can digest Vincent's role. As for the previous explanations - it's one thing to say it, but another to do it.

Lance got into the taxi and waved to Hayden who was standing behind the trailer. Hayden, Percy and Albert were watching the situation nervously. Seeing Lance's gesture, he quickly ran over. Lance whispered a few words to Hayden, and Hayden walked to the back of the camera, picked up the light controller, and began to fine-tune the light.

Lance took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to settle his thoughts.

If method acting is adopted at this time, Lance needs to fully enter Vincent's world and savor the establishment of the entire character. Obviously, time is not enough, and Lance has been building Max's life recently, and suddenly he is replaced by another character. A role, this will definitely disrupt his performance rhythm-method acting requires time to prepare and brew, and it is definitely not that easy; but at this time Lance is going to use an expressionist way to present, mainly to show Tom It is not difficult for Lance to express the emotion and connotation accurately in the context of a performance.

In the movie "Becoming Julia", the dialogue between the protagonists once depicted such a scene: the heroine Julia performed on the stage in a state of grief, tears streaming down her face to the point of suffocation, the realistic performance was amazing; With the gap between positions, she walked to the edge of the side stage, and then with tears still shining in her eyes, she turned her head and reprimanded the stage staff, "What the hell is that damn light!" After the reprimand, Julia turned her head, Entering a state of sadness and despair again, the performance continued, but the audience did not feel the difference at all.

This is expressive acting.

In the orthodox British academic acting classes, they always emphasize that acting is a state, an actor can enter or leave this state at any time, and can perform countless different roles in the same way. An actor must Performing hundreds of roles is called an actor. Like method acting, if you are not crazy, you will not survive. After entering the role, you can't extricate yourself, and even cause a mental breakdown. In the eyes of the British academic school, you can't be called an actor because they only played one or a few roles.

Although Lance can't reach the state of the protagonist in "Becoming Julia", it is not difficult to perform at his fingertips, which is a basic skill that goes deep into the blood. It was like the audition that came out of nowhere in the Paramount offices.

Tom saw Lance open his eyes and raised his hand to make an "OK" gesture. He thought he was speaking to himself, but when he subconsciously looked back, he saw Hayden standing up with the script in his hand , He turned his head again immediately, and then saw Lance's state began to change bit by bit-the whole process seemed very long, but everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

Lance's head was slightly tilted to the right, his jaw was raised slightly, his face was hidden in a very delicate position, two-thirds of his face was hidden in the dark part, and only one-third of his cheeks were visible from the co-pilot. He leaned out from the back of the seat, and even his left eye could only see half of it. The whole face didn't seem to have much expression, but the changes in light and shadow made people feel that his inner thoughts were quietly surging.

The eyebrow on the left frowned slightly, forming a beautiful arc, just like the rolling hills in the ink painting, the impatience rippled like a dragonfly on the water, and then he leaned on the back of the chair slightly Sitting up straighter, his face slowly came out of the shadows, revealing two-thirds of it. The light like running water was gurgling on that handsome face, and the irritability hidden between the brows was like ripples. Slowly dizzy under the water surface.

What's even more amazing is that after taking off the glasses, Lance's face was not covered in any way, and his handsome facial features were completely exposed, but at this time Tom didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, all his eyes were half covered by the pair of glasses Attracted by her closed eyes, her breathing stopped quietly.

It is unimaginable that so many vivid performance details are outlined in just one appearance. More importantly, even though no lines are spoken, the rhythm of the performance slows down unconsciously, as if every movement It's like being magnified.

"Okay, listen." Lance said calmly, his thin lips opened and closed, and his deep voice seemed to float quietly from the shadows on the right, like a ghost, "You originally decided to carry I went to other places, but..." Lance's voice paused slightly, his eyelids drooped, and the hazy light fell through the eyelashes like wings, hiding the thoughts in his eyes, but In an instant, there was a hint of impatience and determination, like a blade hidden behind him, and there was only a pause of less than a millisecond, and then Lance continued, "The fat boy walked to the window and performed his high-altitude Diving, we are going to start plan B now." There was no emotion in the calm words, but the rhythm of the speech was slightly slowed down, but it created a gradually tense atmosphere, the cold-blooded understatement, Chilling.

Lance moved forward a little bit, and leaned his brows slightly, "Are you still breathing?" The voice rose slightly, with a trace of inquiry.

It's a pity that Lance didn't get a response. He raised the tail of his eyebrows slightly, and the emotions under his eyelids began to surge slowly, and then the eyelids drooped down again, covering up all the emotions, and he pursed his lips. The lips and the corners of the mouth were slightly hooked, and the arc of the half-smile inexplicably revealed a bit of sarcasm, which was clear under the light, "Now, we must do our best, strain, survival of the fittest, Darwin, bad things It happens all the time, I Ching." The fragmented words appeared compact and powerful, one after another phrases popped out in a strange rhythm, like a dagger piercing through a sack, showing the sharp edge bit by bit. Then, he raised his eyes again and looked at the driver's seat obliquely in front of him, and his voice suddenly softened, "No matter what, go with the situation!"

"Book of Changes? What are you talking about! You threw a person out of the window!" Hayden's slightly stiff voice came from behind.

Lance pulled the corners of his mouth down, and the impatience in his eyes flashed again, which was particularly conspicuous against the background of the hazy halo, which was shocking, "I didn't do that, he fell by himself." Simple But his words seemed rigid, with firmness that could not be refuted.

"Then what did he do to you?"

"What?" Lance's voice raised slightly and stopped abruptly, but it was short and sharp like a dagger.

"What did he do to you?"

"No, I saw him for the first time tonight." Lance frowned impatiently, as if he didn't want to continue entangled in this issue at all, and then leaned back in the chair again. This time, the whole face They were all slowly submerged in the shadows, like a submarine gradually disappearing on the surface of the water.

"You met him for the first time, and then you killed him?"

An inaudible sneer came from the shadows, and Lance's expression could not be seen clearly in his sight, only a hint of sarcasm in his contemptuous voice, "What? Can I only kill those people I know?" ?”

The unreasonable counterattack made Hayden stunned, but subconsciously said "no", and then Lance lowered his head - not only did not raise his head, but lowered his head, all expressions were even more unclear "Max, there are six billion people on the earth. If a fat man dies, you will be in chaos?" Those light words are so heavy, they have irrefutable power.

"Then... who is he?"

"None of your business!" Lance raised his head again, his hard words showed fierceness for the first time, impatience burst out between the collision of teeth, "Have you heard of Rwanda?" Si sat up straight all of a sudden, and rushed out of the shadows like a cheetah. The extremely suppressed emotions broke free from all restraints in an instant, and suddenly magnified to the extreme in the pupils.

The heart stopped beating for an instant.
