The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2188
[2151 Perspective Transformation]
“Or, to revise the settings in the second half of the forest, should those people support love? Or should they support freedom? I don’t have any more ideas on how to change it.”
Renly’s words revealed too much. There is too much information, just like the big bang of the universe, all the thoughts are released in a single “bang”, and then the countless information in the mind begins to tumble, and the thoughts are connected with the thoughts, and the processing speed is somewhat slow. Not up –
as if the computer was running out of memory.
But Oggs shook his head gently, “No…no no…it shouldn’t be like this…” It sounds rough, Renly’s words seem to be very reasonable, but after careful reflection, Oggs Having
a different idea, he refused to be led by Renly’s nose, “Your whole idea is wrong.”
Oggs didn’t raise his eyes to look at Renly, but immersed himself in his own world, “Your design Decision and Doubt are trying to simplify the story and present a single-line and single-level thinking in a simple and rude way. Therefore, you hope to simplify and clarify those settings. This is not the original intention of the entire play. , I hope to present an intricate world view, how complex the entire social structure should be, but when the framework system cuts off those branches in an unreasonable way, then the society will face the danger of collapse.”
Gradually, Oggs’s thoughts became clear again, he slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Renly brightly, “I need to maintain those complexities, and I also need to maintain those uncertainties. After the film is over, we generate our own ideas and trigger the collision of different thinking. This is also our conscious behavior in the stage of writing the script. The situations you mentioned are exactly the effects we hope to present.”
“I don’t think you understand my point of view. Meaning.” Renly shook his head slightly, he knew Oggs was prejudiced – always thought he was aggressively trying to “pull” him into submission, but in fact Renly was serious about the script and the characters.
Does he want to be in “The Lobster”?
Yes; does he want “The Lobster” to be a great work?
Yes.
So, if Colin Farrell was the premise of “The Lobster” being a great work, would he?
The answer is also yes.
He will try his best to get a chance to perform, but he will not stalk.
Now, he needs Oggs to sort out his thoughts.
“You mean, I hope that through this story, people will think differently about social systems, about love, about family, etc.” Renly slowed down and said calmly, giving Oggs enough to think about. time.
But Oggs showed a puzzled look, staring at Renly with flickering eyes, his whole body full of vigilance.
This made Renly a little amused and a little helpless,
“Oggs, if you regard me as a bad guy and are robbing you of your works, then there is no way for us to continue the conversation.”
Oggs’ expression was a little embarrassed, but there was no affirmation or denial, and he just stared at the blue Li – Since you are not good at words, then don’t say more.
Renly could only continue to say, “Let’s calm down, you want the audience to think about this system, and different possibilities burst out in the intricate relationship, no doubt, this is a very grand idea, but do you realize that, Doesn’t his ability match his ambition?”
He bluntly stung Oggs – Oggs is best at seeing a side of society in a small pattern, and when he leaves the small pattern, he will It’s easy to get overwhelmed.
“Lobster” is like this, the whole concept is very delicate, but the window presented is vague.
Ogus raised his eyebrows, “I don’t think it’s necessary. You can evaluate my work, but you shouldn’t attack my literacy and ability. I don’t think your behavior is laudable.”
“Then, you should also Show a corresponding attitude. If you can’t get your attitude right, then our conversation will never end, and I don’t think it’s necessary to continue. You can find other actors in this work, I Very disappointed, but I will not interfere.” Renly also corrected his attitude rarely, and said solemnly and sternly.
“You really don’t mind?” Ogus seized the opportunity and mumbled, but he couldn’t hold back after all, but he regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, because of his impulsiveness and because of his unbearable thoughts.” That’s not what I meant.”
But Renly waved his hand indifferently, “There’s no need to apologize. Cooperation requires the will of both parties. If there is any coercion, then things are not interesting.” Then Renly Yang Raised eyebrows.
“I don’t think the small size is a disadvantage, Woody Allen spent his life talking about the little things about the middle class in New York, but it didn’t stop him from being a great director; Alfred Hitchcock spent his life He is discussing love and suspense, but there is no doubt about his excellence. I just think that only when you can clearly understand your own abilities and talents, and determine where your strengths lie, and develop them, can you be called a genius, and those whose ambitions are greater than their abilities can be called geniuses. , often capsizes in the end.”
Rarely, Renly showed his sharpness—not against reporters or enemies, but against another talented director.
If it is a director with a hot personality, I am afraid that the table would have been turned over at this moment; but Oggs did not directly explode, but quietly watched Renly, as if savoring the meaning behind these words:
He does not Comfortable – it is certain that no one likes to listen to those harsh criticisms, and he is no exception. At this moment, Ogus’s heart is very uncomfortable, but he did not burst out, but calmed down and began to think.
He and Renly were indeed on opposite sides, but at the same time he was in the same situation as Renly: a concerted effort to get the “lobster” story right.
Although he can’t be sure whether Renly is sincere, or is calculating himself; but he can’t deny that he is full of curiosity about Renly’s ideas and concepts – even if Renly criticizes himself “capacity is not worthy of ambition” , he was still curious about Renly’s idea of the story and characters.
Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath again, secretly taking a deep breath, Oggs quietly hid all his thoughts and reactions, “Then, according to what you said, within a small scale, it reflects the whole society’s thoughts and feelings. Different aspects, then what should we do?”
After all, Oggs calmed down, lowered his stance, truly stood on an equal footing with Renly, and cut to the point smoothly – at this moment, the discussion about “lobster” is not enough. Really came to the key position.
“Works that present various social conditions rely on the appearance of all beings under one concept. In simple terms, when faced with a murder case, different people have different reactions, and these different reactions reflect different personalities, different families, and different education. , different classes, and finally piece together the whole society.”
Renly said here, paused, and stared at Oggs, although he did not get approval but did not inspire opposition, it can be seen that Oggs has Once he got his mind right and really opened his heart to listen to his thoughts, things finally crossed the first threshold before Renly went on.
“Then there is only one concept of ‘lobster’ now, which is the murder, but there are no characters. Or, there is no way that these characters can be linked to the whole concept. I’m talking about the role of David, but At the same time, they are two different characters from the hotel and the forest, and they are the woman that David fell in love with at the end.”
“Let’s look at it this way: the system supported by the hotel, the idea supported by the forest, the people represented by David and the woman, All are derivatives of this social system, and their different personalities and attitudes present different aspects of the whole society. But now, all those differences are invisible.”
“First of all, hotels and forests The opposing systems are actually the same system, only one supports the family, so that no matter what form of family is supported; the other supports independence, and then no matter what form of union is destroyed, these two extremes form a whole distortion There is no problem in itself. As you said, different people in the same background can derive different characters and states, which is what the film needs to explore.”
“But now, the script is very important to David .
The setting with women is ambiguous, they cannot support the setting of this ‘society’, they seem to support the hotel but also seem to be against it, seem to support the forest but seem not satisfied, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com The ambiguous setting cannot be connected with society at all, let alone criticize or reflect.”
“Do you want to present a diverse reflection? No problem, then you must start with the male and female protagonists. How much social influence is reflected in them, then how much the audience can accept. That’s why I said , or change the setting of the forest and put it on the opposite side of society, just like the ‘Hunger Games’, set up two opposites and conflict, then the reflection that the creator expects becomes extremely clear; or change the two The setting of each character reflects the results produced under the social framework through their choices and decisions-those deformed results.” The
eloquent words really dissect the core ideas of the whole story, and then In the end, it’s back to square one: that’s why Renly came up with the role for sure—not to make it easier for him to play himself, but to establish the core idea of the whole story.
Oggs never interrupted, but listened carefully and carefully, and said without warning, “So have you taken screenwriting courses? Or directing courses?”
“…” Renly is also rare. Insightfully opened his mouth slightly: This is not the point, okay?
