The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2312

[2275 Proactive]

“Renly, do we need to be a little… a little bit shorter?” Felicity asked a question.

“How?” Renly didn’t answer or justify directly, but then asked Felicity to continue.

Felicity paused and sorted her thoughts, “Can I understand that in this scene, the expression of the whole emotion needs to be more direct and concise, and those delicate emotional changes will settle down to be more efficient. Is this what you mean by expressing the expressions and movements of the man, simplifying the complexity?”

Renly still did not speak, just nodded lightly, waiting for Felicity’s follow-up.

Felicity could sense the affirmation in Renly’s eyes, which encouraged her, and her words were obviously lighter, “In this scene just now, your performance was very unique, making full use of the changes in light, half of your face Hidden in the darkness, even the half of the face facing the light does not have much emotion, and the eyes are all hidden in the shadows, but the change of tone and tone is more direct, just like pencil drawing, every turn and pause You can feel it, but the wonderful thing is that, with your overall performance, including eyes and body, the concise lines will not appear too monotonous and clumsy, but can enrich the character. This is the performance effect you hope to achieve. , right?”

Compared to the “Crazy Love” period, Felicity has also grown a lot, perhaps not as fast as Renly’s progress, but she can see obvious changes in her role and her mastery of skills. The most important thing is What’s more, the understanding of performance has a new concept, and then generates its own style.

Immediately afterwards, Felicity raised her head and looked into Renly’s eyes, “But, why? Why are you acting like this?”

At this point Renly finally said, “This is a commercial movie. It’s that simple.” Noticing the puzzled look in Felicity’s eyes, Renly explained, “Look, in a commercial movie, rhythm is very important. Even more important than the story, the special effects, the performance, that’s why popcorn is called popcorn, because the audience needs constant highs/climbs to stay focused, which also means that our performances can’t It’s too cumbersome and trivial, and the whole still needs to be concise, so that the emotions can be conveyed quickly and accurately, so as to ensure that the director’s rhythm will not be dragged down by the actors.”

Felicity vaguely understood, but more questions arose: Obviously blue Li’s performance doesn’t stop there.

Renly went on to explain, “But that doesn’t mean the characters are thin. Film critics always like to say that the characters in commercial films are all functional paper people, and the characters themselves don’t have any depth or breadth. On the one hand, This is caused by the script; on the other hand, it is caused by the performance.”

“It is also anger, in fact, during the performance, the actor does not need to express the level of anger,

but can leave a space for reverie, let The audience realizes that there is a reason behind the anger. This is enough. As for the reason, commercial movies do not need to be deeply explored, because every audience can have their own understanding. But this reason can be Make the characters three-dimensional and full.”

Renly poured out all his thoughts in one go, and Felicity fell into contemplation, more complicated and complicated thoughts than confusion, like a big explosion. .

Just right, impartial?

Proper advance and retreat, precise and ingenious!

These are undoubtedly the most difficult and most difficult parts, not just the performance, but everything is like this, how to find a clever balance on the scale, and maintain a perfect balance, any time and everything is no exception , and now Renly and Felicity are facing the same problem.

Objectively speaking, they don’t have to.

“Rogue One” is just a commercial movie, and the performance is not the focus of the audience’s appreciation. Felicity just needs to realize the difference between the shots, cut down the branches of her performance, and make the whole performance more concise and clear, then No problem, everything else is asking for trouble: the

director won’t ask for it, and the audience won’t ask for it, the “depth” of a popcorn movie is like winking at a blind man, it’s not necessary at all, it’s just It’s just the actor’s self-cultivation.

Many times, even a move that was rejected by directors and producers.

But obviously, Renly has a different view of character mining and performance sculpting. The reason why it has become an unnecessary burden on commercial films is that the actors and the director’s creations do not fit on the same track; once they can fit together, then commercial films will It will be away from the pure and simple “popcorn”, and have more aftertaste value, such as “Titanic”, such as “Batman: The Dark Knight” and so on.

Renly’s dexterity is obvious, so he’s chasing how higher levels of performance and perfection can be integrated into the character’s self-consciousness in an entertaining performance; but Felicity is not necessary, not necessary at all, just Just embarrassing yourself.

Despite this, Felicity was still lost in thought.

She hopes to be able to play the role of commercial films, but she also hopes to retain her own characteristics. Otherwise, in the fiercely competitive Hollywood industry, how can she stand on the ground?

Is this greed?

Or ambition?

Among the iron triangles that were once “crazy in love”, Jennifer Lawrence and Renly Hall have both reached the pinnacle of their careers, while Felicity Jones, who has been acclaimed for her solid and delicate performances, has fallen behind. Behind her, gradually forgotten by people, and now to meet Renly again, she has carried too many burdens to prove herself, is that so?

Unwilling?

envy?

desire?

Are these emotions turning upside down?

No, she doesn’t think so.

For performance, she also has her own obsession, and her obsession that she can’t give up and can’t calm down is like the eyes of Captain Cassian Andor.

Not for comparison, not for jealousy, but for a yearning, a burning yearning, she yearns to be an actor like Renly, she yearns to be able to complete the role according to her own ideas and ideas, she yearns to be able to. Interpret your own taste.

Although it is very difficult!

In the past two years, Jennifer seems to be gradually losing the aura of acting because of her high praise and attention. It seems that she is gradually satisfied with the status quo and does not want to explore and refuse to change; but the actors themselves understand that the noise of being in the spotlight The chaos is as suffocating as an invisible cage. It’s not that Jennifer doesn’t want to change, but that she doesn’t have enough energy to change

the academy’s public relations, for example, during the awards season. She has to participate in various parties and entertainment every day, even three a day. In the four games, for two months, I constantly faced the social interaction between the virtual and the snake, and even a quiet and stable sleep was very difficult, not to mention the exploration performance.

And that’s just a very small part of Jennifer’s day-to-day life throughout the year.

This is why many actors turn to alcohol or drugs for help.

Similarly, Renly faced a similar predicament, even more so than Jennifer; but Renly handled it in a very different way, choosing to continue to stick to his acting profession, leaving the hustle and bustle of awards season with one mind He devoted himself to the performance, constantly exploring his own field, trying to go further in the performance level and touch the threshold of the highest hall.

To have some, you have to give up some, as Renly and Jennifer are.

Perhaps, the difference between Renly and Jennifer is that Renly is a man and can always have a slight advantage in the film industry. Even if he does not participate in the academy’s public relations, he can still open up a world; but this is not the core and the most important. The difference, every actor is well aware of this, in the final analysis it is a matter of choice, and Felicity also clearly knows this.

Of course, no one needs and no one should blame Jennifer, because every actor has to make their own choices, and most people can’t even do Jennifer’s degree. Every footprint of her records her career. Trajectory, an irreplaceable journey.

The “crazy in love” triangle has all made their own choices, and now Felicity is facing another fork in the road, and she needs to make further choices.

Say goodbye to the “Theory of Everything” awards season Academy PR, and concentrate on the performance of “Rogue One”, this is Felicity’s last choice.

So, she doesn’t want “insurance clearance”, she doesn’t want “average”.

So, Felicity followed Renly’s words, crawling forward step by step, pushing through the fog layer by layer, looking for her own performance rhythm and scale in the chaos.

It wasn’t easy, but she immersed herself in it and enjoyed it.

Felicity didn’t speak, and Renly fell into deep thought. After a short high-frequency conversation, the scene was quiet again. Angus Wright and May Bell were slightly stunned, not sure what to do.

On the one hand, the frequency of the conversation between Renly and Felicity maintained a high speed, and there was no room for interjection, and it was over in an instant; on the other hand, Renly and Felicity Lixiti didn’t seem to intend to include other people, and the world of two did not allow outsiders to intervene.

Both Angus and May Bell were a little helpless. They exchanged glances with each other’s joking eyes, and seemed to be saying, “Ignored by big names”; however, for them, this has long been accustomed to it. Thought Renly might be different, apparently disappointed now.

The reason why they didn’t turn around and leave was mainly because they also knew their acting tasks: they needed to cooperate with the director and two leading actors to complete the entire scene.

Now, the actors who are in it can feel the abnormality more or less, and the rhythm of the performance obviously does not fit on the track. So, what should they do next? They also need to follow the director’s command or, in other words, follow Renly’s command.

“Uh…Renly?”

At this moment, a voice broke the noise that was not noisy at the scene, and one after another, some lines of sight were projected towards the source of the sound, which was actually director Gareth Edwards.
