The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 73 Performance problem

Although Rodriguez remained polite, Lan Li could feel the politeness and perfunctory. He didn’t understand what happened. The two people just met each other, didn’t they?

Is it because Rodriguez thought he was too young? Or is it because Rodriguez has invited Ryan to play?

Of course, Lan Li knows his disadvantages. He is too young, which is actually not a good thing for Hollywood. A large number of teen movies are born in Hollywood every year, but the quality is very rare. The golden age of Hollywood actors is 35 to 45 years old, and more than 80% of movie protagonists are within this range. Most of the young actors play supporting roles. This is also one of the important reasons why it is extremely difficult for young actors to become famous.

The age of the male protagonist in “Buried Alive” is around thirty to thirty-five years old.

However, no matter what the reason is, Renly came to the audition today, hoping to do everything possible to secure the opportunity for this performance. Today’s clothes are carefully selected, and he has no intention of giving up easily.

“Thank you for the compliment. This shows that my first job is still rewarding.” Lan Li showed a thankful smile. The relaxed ridicule made Charles also chuckle, but Rodriguez picked up slightly. Mei-“The Pacific War” is Lan Li’s debut? Not good, really bad.

“I made a special trip to participate in the audition for’Buried Alive’ today.” Lanly’s eyes fell on Rodriguez. “You probably haven’t watched the’Pacific War’. I was really relieved. These are two completely different things. The role is not bound by a fixed impression, and my confidence in today’s audition has risen again.”

Rodriguez didn’t hold back his laughter. This young man was indeed different from the others. The other newcomer actors all want to promote their previous works vigorously, hoping to increase the bargaining chip for the success of the audition, but he has gone the other way. Is this full of confidence? Still lack of experience?

further thought that among the countless list of works, he chose “Buried alive” alone. This is an interesting thing in itself, isn’t it?

“So, can we start the audition now? Or do I have to wait in line?” Lanly stood behind Charles, implying that Charles was an actor who was auditioning. This simple action made Rodrigue and Charles both. Laughed.

Charles waved his hands again and again, “I won’t interrupt your work. Good luck! Good luck!” The first one was to Rodriguez, and the second was to Lan Li.

Rodriguez walked back half a step, then sat down on the sofa again, “Say again, what’s your name?”

“Blue gift.”

“So, are you British?” Rodriguez is Spanish. He is not that sensitive to accent, but the London accent is very distinctive.

Lan Li sat down opposite Rodriguez, “I guess Paul should be an American.” Lan Li switched to a fluent Chicago accent.

Rodrigue couldn’t tell the difference between Chicago and New York, but he could hear the difference between English and American. He couldn’t help but his eyes lit up slightly, “What accent is this?” In the education system of European actors, the accent is One of the most basic courses, but Rodrigue always believes that it is never easy to figure out a truly outstanding accent, “I think this should not be a New York accent.”

“Chicago.” Lanly replied with a smile, “If necessary, I can imitate Spanish accented English.” This is indeed one of the basic compulsory courses in the college. Lanly thought it was very interesting at the beginning and went to Cambridge. In linguistics at the university, I found a professor to exchange and study, and I spent several months trying to figure it out.

Rodriguez couldn’t help but pause for a moment, only to feel full of question marks, “Why Chicago?”

“Oh, it’s just my own guess.” Lan Li shrugged. In fact, the information left in the union is really limited. There is no direct clue to where Paul’s setting is. He has watched “Buried Alive” in the previous life. , The memory is a little fuzzy, and Lanly can’t remember whether this incident was mentioned in the movie, “Construction engineer, Iraqi official, middle class, I guess, Paul should be in the central region, and as a gathering place for construction companies, Chicago It is undoubtedly the most possible.”

After the actor gets the script, preparing a role is a very complicated and cumbersome process. From accent to dress, even to hairstyle and tattoos, these details are part of the role, and the part that the audience can’t see but can feel. This is precisely the part that shows the actor’s inner strength. Of course, if it’s just a popcorn movie or a chick movie, the preparation mode is naturally different.

Rodriguez’s brain seemed to be hit by a heavy fist, and he was a little startled for a while. It was originally just a thread of small talk, but he did not expect that it would involve such a surprise behind the story, and even his lack of understanding of the script. I have to say that he has changed a little bit about Lan Li.

“Interesting, very interesting.” Rodriguez couldn’t help but close his jaw slightly, his eyes revealed an expression of interest, “So, what kind of interpretation do you have for the role of Paul? If you haven’t noticed, I Just to remind you, Paul is thirty-five years old, he is married, has two children, and has a stable job.”

Rodrigue deliberately posed a problem for Lan Li, and moved out the mountain that lay in front of Lan Li. He was a little curious as to how Lan Li would respond. Before he knew it, Rodriguez didn’t even notice, his thoughts on Renly had quietly begun to change.

Lan Li spread his legs, supported his hands on his knees, and leaned his upper body slightly forward, facing Rodriguez with the Da Ma Jindao, with strength in his ruggedness, and the street atmosphere of a construction contractor naturally revealed, “I I personally feel that we should divide the role of Paul into two parts.” Or to be more precise, the performance is divided into two levels.

“Buried alive” is described in the recruitment information left by the American Screen Actors Guild: An American construction contractor, working in Iraq, was hit by a bomb one day, was in a coma and lost consciousness, and only found out after he woke up. He was trapped in a coffin and buried alive in the desert. He didn’t understand what was going on, and he didn’t know what to do. He only had a knife, a mobile phone and a lighter by his side.

“First, normal response in critical situations.” Lan Li’s eyes gradually became focused. He knew how difficult his situation was. Not only did he have to overcome the shackles of age to get this role, but also to defeat Ryan Renault. Now, he must go all out, “Any normal person who wakes up and finds himself buried alive in a coffin, panic, fright, fear, struggle, anger, survival, these emotions are common.”

Rodriguez raised his right hand and supported his chin, his eyes gradually deepened, and he savored Lan Li’s words carefully.

“From the confusion after waking up, to the survival instinct/struggle, to the calmness of seeking opportunities, and finally to the confusion of the trapped beasts, the emotional development curve is undoubtedly the core of the entire script, and it is also the motivation to attract the audience to continue watching. “Len Li’s thoughts are very clear, and the discourse advances to express his views. “But as I said, this is the common response of all ordinary people in a crisis situation. If only this is the case, it is’buried alive’. It’s just an ordinary thriller and suspense movie.”

Lan Li is different from Ryan, not only is the performance method and content different, but he also has his own understanding of “buried alive”, which also means that their exploration and expansion of roles are also different. If the audition is successful, he will interpret it in his own way and deduce his “buried alive”.

The “Buried alive” of the previous life is actually a normal thriller movie, and Ryan explains all the emotions trapped in the coffin very well. But as Lanly said, this is a process and reaction that any ordinary person will experience. Not only does it lack the personal characteristics of “Paul”, it also lacks the part of Alan’s role in “127 Hours”; it also doesn’t. The personal characteristic of “buried alive” has been reduced to an ordinary work—above the standard, but it is difficult to break the siege.

Rodriguez knew that Lan Li hadn’t finished speaking, and there was a “second” behind him, and his brows wrinkled slightly. So far, the “first” mentioned by Lan Li is in line with his expectations and settings. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can basically be said to be his understanding of the work “buried alive”. But obviously, Lan Li’s opinion is not over yet, he has developed another level of character and script.

Things are getting more and more interesting, and Rodriguez couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

“Second, Paul’s reaction in a crisis situation.” Lanly only paused for a moment, and then went on. “Here we can divide it into different parts to discuss, for example, Paul’s personal Attribution, when he encountered a crisis situation, he thought of his family, his wife, whether he was experiencing a mid-life crisis, whether he encountered any difficulties in his work, and what was the relationship between him and other colleagues and friends. These unique attributes will give Paul different definitions in the case of extreme crisis, which is what distinguishes Paul from ordinary people.”

“For another example, Paul’s social attributes. How is his relationship with the company? How is his communication with the government/government? In Paul’s incident, what is the difference in the performance of the company, government/government, and the media. Paul is A billionaire or an ordinary contractor, does this make a difference? Is Paul a man or a woman? Does it make a difference? Is Paul stuck in Iraq or the United States? Does it make a difference? difference?”

Lan Li’s words made Rodriguez’s eyebrows deeply entangled together, his thoughts became more and more chaotic, and a storm was set off in his mind.

“These parts are not only defining Paul’s specialness, but also the key to defining the attributes of the whole movie’buried alive’.” Lan Li made a final summary, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and said confidently and calmly “So I think that age is actually the least important part. What do you think?”
