"Renly, this role belongs to you!"

Looking at Drake in front of him, those black bean-like eyes dotted on his chubby cheeks, with unshakable determination, Renly couldn't help laughing, he could really feel Drake's determination and sincerity, as if he could. Seeing the red heart beating, this affirmation and praise moved Renly. .しw0.

"Crazy in Love" is that kind of movie. It doesn't seem to have too much performance difficulty, but after the actual performance, it is extremely difficult to give an amazing performance; it seems to be just an art piece, just a Ordinary romantic comedies are more literary and profound, but after careful excavation, the depth and breadth of the works are like treasures buried in the depths of Atlantis, full of infinite possibilities.

If you are careless, you will miss it; but if you pay attention, you will get a huge surprise.

Therefore, this also puts forward high requirements for actors.

Last life, "Love Crazy" starred Anton Eugene (anton-ye1) and Felicity Jones (fe1ies). The two actors can be said to have given good performances, at least above the horizontal line, Felicity initially showed her acting talent - she later won an Oscar nomination for "The Theory of Everything"; but Anton's performance But it's hard to say, it's just normal.

In fact, Anton, who was born as a child star, has a very good sense of the camera, and his eyes are quite spiritual, but his performance lacks depth and thickness, just more delicate based on the performance of the idol vase.

If "Love Crazy" is just a romantic comedy, then Anton will be very good, far better than those vases, giving the film a special literary and artistic temperament; but the requirements of "Love Crazy" are not only that, Anton The interpretation of Jacob lacks mixed emotions, lacks the torment of struggle, and lacks the dazedness of wandering, which makes the emotional transformation of the film lack the promotion of full force, which in turn affects the quality of the finished film.

While "Crazy in Love" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Felicity also won the Special Award, but Anton got nothing. Although it is said that Hollywood's requirements for male actors are more stringent, and actresses are more positioned as "visual enjoyment", so once they dedicate the same level of performance, actresses tend to receive more praise, while it is difficult for male actors. But it's also true that Anton's performance is not as good as Felicity's.

The role of Jacob is actually the most typical example of academy's acting skills: it relies entirely on the basic skills of the actors to perform, with happy, sad, happy eyes and expressions, ups and downs of emotions and lines, and when the character's own edges and corners are lacking, the method is used. The brightening of the characters is very limited. On the contrary, the expressionist interpretation can show the emotions of the characters vividly and vividly. More importantly, there are no special breaking points for the characters, such as alcoholism, illness, neuroticism, etc., which requires actors to find leverage points for performance in the trivialities of daily life, which is more difficult and is undoubtedly the most favorite of the academy. roles.

Take the simplest plot in "Crazy in Love". After Anna was forced to return to England, both of them suffered from lovesickness. In the end, Jacob couldn't bear it anymore and flew to London to meet Anna again. But when Jacob returned to Los Angeles, he moved in with another woman, Sam.

Many viewers were all confused when they saw this plot, shouting that Jacob was a "scumbag" and betraying Anna in this way, which tilted the emotional balance and destroyed the integrity of the story.

But in fact, during Jacob's time in London, he has always been like an outsider, outside of Anna's life - just a few months, Anna has a life in London that he doesn't know, as if He has been excluded from Anna's world.

At the same time, Anna's parents are also putting pressure on Jacob. It seems that everyone is persuading him that Jacob should leave Los Angeles and live in London, so that the two can reunite, but no one comes forward and says, In fact, Jacob also has his own life in Los Angeles, his own family, and his own fledgling career.

Outsider, this is how Jacob feels in London. It was as if the two were still on the same track, maintaining the same pace, and suddenly, Anna had moved forward, leaving him personally in place. In Jacob's heart, he was lonely, fearful, and even more dazed, and he didn't know what had happened in just a few months.

After returning to Los Angeles, the two broke up.

Yes, in fact, the two broke up. Although there is no direct statement in the script, it can be seen from the details of the next two scenes that the two did break up, and then Jacob started another relationship, trying to fill the hole in his heart.

In fact, this is the same as Anna's exhibition trajectory later. The physical distance brought about the psychological distance. Anna also had a partner in London. After Jacob went through everything, she also felt that she needed someone by her side to share her joy and sorrow. . So, this returns to the theme of the movie: true love is just a burst of passion, or is it a romance that lasts for a long time?

In the movie, the director did not give the character time for an inner monologue, nor did he directly state it. He completely relied on the actor's eyes, expressions, and even body movements to show. Such delicate and trivial emotional details are precisely the most severe to the acting skills. But unfortunately, Anton failed to show Jacob's inner alienation and loneliness, as well as his sadness and helplessness after breaking up. The incompatible anxiety and fear were almost lost in the chapters of the plot.

So, what the audience sees

It was as if the dominoes suddenly lost a few large pieces in the middle, and were cut off abruptly. They shouted with question marks all over their heads: Weren't you still in London last second? How can I go back to Los Angeles and live with other people in the next second?

In a limited space, in trivial details, the power of performance is maximized. British college parties love such characters; but Hollywood, who is accustomed to commercial operation, is not too cold - in comparison, they are still I want to see the actors show off their acting skills.

The most direct case is Colin Firth. In last year's "Single Man", Colin gave an actor-level performance, interpreting a single man who lost his partner vividly, sad but depressed, painful but calm, suffering but indifferent , The power of the performance suppressed in the depths of his eyes is shocking, but Oscar doesn't like it.

In this year's "The King's Speech", Colin played a different role. In addition to the inherent disadvantage of stuttering that needs to be overcome, there is also the pressure and anxiety of a king. There are several scenes in the movie that can make Colin wantonly. It ushered in the Hollywood movie applause.

To put it simply, the role of Jacob is thankless. If the performance is not good, the work may not meet expectations, but depending on the thickness of the script, it can still be above the standard, and people will only regret that the actor's performance fails to dig out The essence; if you perform well, this is not the type of awards season that you like. The positive point is to be taken away by Felicity, and the bad point is to be completely ignored. To make matters worse, the challenges of the characters themselves are not easy.

That's what happened to "Crazy Love" in the past, returning empty-handed during awards season -- or, more accurately, not even mentioned much. Just a year ago, the British literary sketch "Growing Up Education", which also tells a love story, won three Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. In comparison, "Crazy Love" is really a Heaven and earth.

However, the greater the difficulty and the greater the challenge, the more excited Renly was. Although it is said that "Crazy in Love" is different from "Buried Alive", it is more of a test of expressive acting skills; but Renly is just an introduction to acting. Such a daunting challenge itself is a kind of polishing for himself, which can definitely be called It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In fact, when Renly confirmed that Drake's invited work was "crazy in love", he had already made a decision in his heart: he was going to take this work! Not only because "Crazy" is his favorite work, but also because Jacob is such a challenging character, and because of Drake's sincerity.

However, Drake just now was really too urgent, and there was no room for Renly to respond, which really made people laugh and cry.

"Okay," Renly replied.

Drake frowned and said eagerly, "Renly, I'm serious, you are really the only candidate, no, the best candidate, I can't find a more suitable candidate besides you. The candidate has been chosen. To be honest, I think I couldn’t find a suitable actor before because I was waiting for you to join us.”

The corners of Renly's mouth rose slightly, and he repeated, "I said, alright."

"I know..." Derek said subconsciously when he opened his mouth, but after speaking, the words got stuck in his throat, he was stunned for a while, and then his eyes were rounded, and those small eyes suddenly became big buns , couldn't help swallowing saliva, didn't make a sound, just asked with his eyes, "Really?"

Renly also nodded earnestly and gave confirmation.

Derek felt that the surprise came too quickly, he was caught off guard, and his heart couldn't stand it. Haha raised his head and laughed happily, but he stopped immediately, worried that it was his own illusion, and looked down at Renly, confirming again, " You mean, you nodded yes? Are you willing to work with me? You decided to star in this work?"

Looking at the childlike Drake, Renly's mood also jumped up, and he could really feel the craze for movies, "Yes."

"Yeah!" Drake clenched his fists and waved it fiercely in the air to cheer himself up - he was just an unknown independent film director, and neither of his previous works had caused any repercussions; and "Buried Alive" starring Renly has already appeared on the stage in Toronto and Telluride. He knew that Renly could have many choices, but Renly nodded and agreed. In the absence of a script, he agreed to perform. invitation.

Drake was ecstatic at this time.

But joy was stuck in his throat, he suddenly realized something, a very important thing, his expression suddenly became cautious again, he said falteringly, "But... Renly... In terms of salary, I may be more cautious. Difficulty...because, the investment this time is...uh, ahem. $250,000."
