The Greatest Showman

One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Seven Return to Simplicity

Jessica immediately understood what Renly meant. Maybe she was not a talented actor, but her diligence and understanding were unquestionable. In a short conversation, she was able to combine Renly's ideas with her own insights. , However, this is different from her own understanding. She did not choose to agree blindly because the object of her remarks was Renly, but thought about it seriously.

"Then why?" Jessica frowned. "Why is the bond between Cooper and Murphy so deep?"

"Because they're father and daughter," Renly said succinctly. Although she just explained a lot, Jessica still came back. In the process of communication, it is necessary to break this closed cycle in order to dig out new things.

Jessica shook her head, as if she was throwing flies away, "I know, I know. You mean, we should delete this part. But...wouldn't the audience be puzzled? Why? Po must come back? Just because he's a father? This reason is too simple and crude, and too far-fetched."

"The point is, the movie is about Cooper's longing to come home, not why he wants to go home. What he needs to awaken is the longing for the warmth of home," Renly responds seamlessly.

Jessica shook her head again and again, even raised her right hand and swayed synchronously to further strengthen her meaning.

"You don't understand what I mean, I mean, if you just stop there, there is no problem; but if you can further explain the reason, and further explain and interpret the fetters between the characters, then the quality of the finished product will be better. Furthermore, the sensory experience for the audience is also different. Like 'Gravity', it was originally a masterpiece, but it became a masterpiece because of your performance and interpretation."

"Thank you." During the heated debate, Renly still had the heart to express his gratitude. Jessica couldn't help but froze for a moment, while Timothy, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but chuckle, Renly continued without a pause. Going on, "But 'Gravity' and 'Interstellar' have very different image styles."

"First, 'Gravity' puts all the shots on Ryan Stone alone, and his performance has to unearth more, otherwise the film's connotation can't match the majestic image style, but instead It would be too thin; but 'Interstellar' focuses all the cameras on the long river of time, focusing on the long river of time to pay attention to many characters, all the characters are shining on the stage, and the emotions will become cumbersome if you dig too deeply."

Before Renly's words were finished, Jessica tried to interrupt and cut into her own words - she is also a strong and outgoing actor, and it is absolutely impossible to be persuaded easily, which is also her acting style, "but . . . but actors can't lower their demands like this..."

Renly was not disturbed at all,

After cutting off Jessica's words again, she continued.

"Secondly, Alfonso Cuaron and Christopher Nolan are two directors with very different styles. Although Alfonso's shots are famous for their majesty, the transfer of shots is still dominated by characters; while Chris's shots are It’s based on the scene, and the characters are only part of the composition. Have you thought about it? If your performance is too detailed, too cumbersome, and too emotionally excavated, can the camera capture it?”

Not only can it not, but it may also become a burden to the picture. It's like there are creases or scratches on a piece of white paper. The surface doesn't seem to destroy the overall feeling, but it will still reveal a faint sense of discomfort after all.

Jessica opened her mouth and tried to refute again, but when the words came to her mouth, she stopped, and then began to think seriously.

It is true that every actor has his own style and characteristics, even the vase is no exception; but in the final analysis, the actor is still a part of the film, he or she needs to be a pawn in the director's hand, giving the actor like Alfonso. More wiggle room, or, like Christopher, cut as much extra as possible from the actors, but whatever the approach, the result is a more complete film.

Same way.

That's a sign of Renly's growing maturity. He is still the self-centered actor who is willing to sacrifice his life for the role and the performance; however, if necessary, he can sacrifice his own light for the film as a whole and make the film complete. It is no longer to immerse yourself in your own world in order to study and improve your acting skills.

From this point of view, the transformation and progress of "Boom Drummer" is far more than imagined.

Timothy, who was sitting next to him, always wanted to join the topic, but he was still a little timid and shy. Finally, he said, "Renly, what do you mean...cough, I mean, you mean that we only need to show the part of family affection, as for the reason and the story, let the audience think for themselves?"

Jessica was still brooding, but she shook her head slightly and replied in place of Renly, "No, Renly means, don't even leave those blanks." After a moment's pause, Jess Ka raised his head and looked at Renly, and said with some urgency:

"Can I understand that the core idea of ​​film is the relationship between time and emotion. In other words, time is the purest thing, and emotion also needs to maintain the most primitive state:

Family affection, affection without any strings attached, allows the audience to focus all their attention on this one philosophical question without being distracted by other issues, right? "

"Yes." Renly gave the answer without any hesitation. Jessica is indeed an excellent actor, with an admirable comprehension of roles and scripts.

For Renly, it was the result of his back and forth over the past two months; for Jessica, it was the result of a short conversation, if not profound enough for the script It is impossible for her to react so quickly.

Renly added, "What we need to focus on is that, through the wormhole, time folds, for Cooper, he still misses Murphy, and he gradually starts to realize that he may not be able to go back, this sadness And pain comes from this; but for Murphy at the same time, she has experienced vicissitudes, growing from a little girl to a woman, is the miss for her father weakened by the passage of time?"

"This alone is enough for the audience to chew on it, not to mention, the contrast between Tom and Murphy further deepens such thinking. But if the film further explores the reasons for the fetters, the rhythm and picture will lose their originality. Chris wants to talk about time, not emotion." After going around in circles, Renly returned to what he said at the beginning, similar content now tastes different.

Jessica didn't speak any further, still brooding.

Renly didn't bother Jessica, but turned to look at Timothy and then at Mackenzie, "I think you can think about how you and your father get along with our acting part. Yes, those details in the script can give you inspiration for your performance, build the details of your relationship with your father, and then we can have a good conversation."

"Just like Murphy, what you and your father have in common is your love for science. You are willing to discuss astronomy and geography often, but what about that? How do you get along with your father? What are your own habits? You can learn from Look for material in your own life, and you can also look for inspiration from the script.”

"And Tom, what do you think about your father during the rebellious period of fifteen-year-old formal adolescence? Like it or dislike it? You don't need to ponder too much, you can interpret it according to the real emotions in real life, and simply construct a relationship model and teenagers. mentally, that's fine."

First Mackenzie, then Timothy, Renly expressed his thoughts briefly. The discussion between him and Jessica was a bit tedious. He didn't want the two young people to confuse his thoughts. After the official start of filming , became at a loss.

Timothy nodded immediately, "I understand what you mean, we just need to express the normal image of family in people's impressions, and that's it. This is an ordinary family, they love each other deeply, But they also have their own contradictions. Those contradictions are not important, the important thing is that at the end of the story, they still love each other's family deeply, right?"

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, that's it."

Jessica's brows are still slightly furrowed. She already understands what Renly means, but she is not a personality that follows others. She still needs to figure it out on her own. If necessary, she also needs to communicate with Christopher. And the performance has a further self-experience.

After all, Renly's ideas are Renly's ideas, and Jessica's ideas are Jessica's ideas. They are two separate individuals, and their performances are naturally different.

However, the controversy can be put aside for now. Jessica feels that she does have a different opinion on the script and story, and at the same time, she also has a new idea of ​​​​acting and directing, and she looks back at Renly with a smile. , "In this case, are you sure you're not trying to be lazy? Why do I feel like I'm losing money? I should get more pay!"

If the content and power of the performance are weakened, and the performance is returned to simplicity, things will become much easier for an actor of Renly's level, and it is indeed laziness.

Renly didn't argue, but drew a shallow smile and said calmly, "Isn't the effort in the past just for the comfort of the future?"
