Understatement but lifted the weight lightly.

The cloud is light and the wind is light but the aftertaste is profound.

Once again, Lan Li completed a wonderful performance, only the slight changes in the eyebrows and shoulder lines, but in a fleeting time it showed a delicate and complex emotional evolution, not only with context, but also with levels. It has both deep and shallow, and both power, which really raises the concept and connotation of the whole character by several grades. The outstanding and wonderful performance makes the character and the story free from the shackles of the script and the real.

Is this possible?

Is this real?

The answer is yes.

In addition to Lan Li, many actors have had such bright moments: Anthony Hopkins in "The Silent Lambs", Heath Ledger in "Batman: The Dark Knight" Performances, Matthew McConaughey's performance in the "Dallas Buyers Club" and so on, they all had such "highlight moments."

There is no doubt that these actors are excellent and outstanding, but "excellent" and "perfect" are two different things. For most of their careers, they can only be outstanding but cannot go further. When the right time is right, they meet the right role. , And then burst out sparks that made the soul trembling, and truly touched perfection.

Of course, perhaps such a "highlight moment" is only once in the entire career, but it must be known that most actors cannot reach such a high level in their entire life, and Leonardo DiCaprio lacks this. He is very good at the highlight moments, but he is far from perfect.

So, why can actors such as Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Catherine Hepburn, etc. be called "hall-class" actors?

Because they have had more than one "highlight moment" in their careers. It is true that not every work of them can be praised and recorded in the annals of history; but looking back over the long river of time, their highlight moments are as many as two, three, or even more, which has achieved greatness.

Lan Li, the same is true.

Why can Renly have such a strong and profound influence in the film industry? Just because of EGOT? Just because of the undefeated halo? Just because of market appeal? Maybe they are all, but not only that, the real key reason is that the young Lan Li has his own "highlight moment".

The first time was the ninth episode of the "Pacific War".

The second time was the last scene of "Love Is Crazy".

The third time was the performance of "Drunk Country Folk Songs".

Even now, the Hollywood industry still firmly believes that the performance of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Lan Li-but this performance has not even been nominated for an Oscar, which once again proves that the awards season has countless influencing factors and the most powerful. Being strong may not necessarily be able to win, and ultimately winning may not be the best.

So, can this scene of "Lobster" become the fourth highlight of Lan Li's career?

Who would have thought that Lanly's acting skills would once again usher in a breakthrough, but he would be in a black comedy?

The entire film industry has always maintained a negative attitude towards comedy performance, just as the attitude of the entire art history towards comedy has always been inferior to the formal drama. So far, the only thing that can break the blockade of fixed concepts is the first historical winner of the "Actor Grand Slam" Jack Lay. Mongolian.

The actor who starred in comedy movies such as "Passionate" and "Peach/Color/Apartment", Venice, Cannes, Berlin, British Academy, Oscars and Golden Globes, all swept the title of actor, and turned twice- Every award ceremony has at least two trophies, and Jack Lemon's first Oscar trophy for best supporting actor comes from the comedy, "Mr. Roberts."

But overall, the significance and weight of comedy performances are far underestimated.

Just as Lanly got inspiration from Buster Keaton’s performance, comedy is actually more difficult than drama. It takes more effort for actors to grasp the scales than drama-otherwise it may become simple and crude. "Shit/Urine/Fart" is a comedy, and it loses the irony of the work.

Strictly speaking, "Lobster" is an absurd comedy. The coldness on the surface echoes the deep formation of the inner core. If the actor satisfies the performance according to the requirements of Ogus, the work can also achieve the original purpose, because Ogus only needs actors. Facial paralysis is enough, all the black humor comes from the setting of the plot; but Renly has endowed the character with soul based on Oggs' request. The vitality of trying to break free is just a brightening. The core meaning of this work is the ultimate pursuit of comedy movies.

It is not easy for Bo Jun to laugh; but to reflect on it after laughing, it is difficult to reach the sky.

Lan Li condensed the rhythm and strength of the performance, but interpreted more aftertaste, and the shock of the aftertaste spread exponentially, three times, or even ten times.

The entire crew set was plunged into thinking--

Of course, it’s mainly because they know the script and the story so well that they can easily capture the information released by Renly through the performance; as for the audience, it depends on the director’s scheduling and editing, and whether the director can convey this thought to the audience. How much can be conveyed, this is the final hurdle that determines the quality of the finished product. Otherwise, how could the outstanding performances of those many outstanding actors be overwhelmed?

So, what is Oggs thinking now:

Big Bang!

Oggs was about to explode his whole brain now. He noticed Renly's performance as well as Rachel's performance.

Just as David turned and left, in the corner of the lens, the back of the short-sighted woman was slightly stiff.

It's just a flash, such small details, and still static details, without careful observation, the high probability event is not noticed; even in the process of watching the movie, it is difficult for the audience to capture every detail in the picture, and it is often impossible. Capture all the information given by the director's lens.

But Oggs is a director, he must pay attention to the overall situation, he must take care of every corner. So he noticed the details of Rachel's performance.

Then, brainstorming is here! He is now bursting with infinite inspiration, and he is colliding fiercely and violently, especially the emotional detail processing of the last three shots of Renly, contacting Rachel’s performance processing, triggering many associations in his mind——

Should he lock the camera on Rachel, and further ask Rachel’s back to make some emotions, and then form a contrast? Let the bond between David and the near-sighted woman form, and show the last moments of struggle and pain of the near-sighted woman?

Or is it true that this approach is too much, and the intention to form a contrast is too obvious, but it is inferior? Could it even destroy the settings of myopic women?

Because no matter what, the next shot will be divided into two lines, focusing on David and the woman respectively, creating an emotional collision with the different actions of the two people, but according to the original setting, the myopic woman is hard-hearted. She stood at the top of the food chain, and those struggles and hesitations were insignificant-Rachel gave her a little softness, but at the same time, Rachel also cut off these softness, which was a fluctuation.

If Oggs did not specifically show this change, then it may be the psychological change of a myopic woman. Maybe she has been moved by love but chose to survive after all; but if Oggs shows it through the lens, it means The audience must receive this information, which is too rigid and rigid, but there is a feeling of forcing the audience-this is obviously a very low-end film expression method.

The question now is, should the director throw out more clues? Or is it enough to rely on the performance of the actors? No need to superfluous?

But Oggs was a little bit reluctant: because Lan Li went from staring at the steak knives to walking away, the content presented by this series of performances was really too complicated and too interesting. If you just give up like this, you always feel a little violent— —What if the audience can't taste it? According to Oggs’s style, he is more accustomed to doing subtraction rather than addition. The camera is best to stop here. Renly’s performance is enough, and there is no need for the director to use the camera to inject more information.

The source of such a contradiction is that Lan Li's performance is really too good!

The filming of "Lobster" is coming to an end, but Ogus can't help but exclaim again and again. Lan Li's performance is indeed infinitely possible-even in the cold and restrained footage of Ogus, Lan Li It is still possible to interpret the "facial paralysis" with countless possibilities.

With this skill, the whole movie began to shine.

After thinking about it, Oggs did not hold back after all, "Rachel, finally we add another lens, the camera is pointed at your back, and the line of your shoulders tightens slightly-because you noticed David’s Emotions, you understand David’s plan. That kind of firmness affects you, and you hesitate a little. A little bit, just a little bit of emotion is enough."

Now it’s the shooting process, Ougs can make more requests, shoot all the ideas in advance~www.novelhall.com~ and then slowly decide during post-production, for example, he can edit two versions , And then see which version is more suitable, then which version to use, maybe leave it, maybe delete it, maybe switch the lens to bury clues.

But if this possibility is ignored during the shooting process, there will be no room for maneuver in the post-editing process.

This is how Oggs convinced himself. In fact, deep down, Oggs also understood that his compromise was finally moved by Lan Li's performance——

But how should the finished movie be made? Oggs didn’t have a clear idea, so he could only take one step. But at least, Lan Li’s performance really made the movie more advanced. Ougs began to rejoice. Fortunately, he chose Lan Li at the beginning. This is definitely a The right choice couldn't be better.

Oggs also began to be unable to restrain his excitement.
