The Greatest Showman

Four Hundred and Sixteenth Acting Groping

Renly didn't like the performance just now. He wasn't being hypocritical or nitpicking. He didn't like it. To be precise, it was deeply disgusting, and it was almost unbearable to look directly at it.

This performance was obviously overpowered.

After entering the state, he easily crossed the boundary between reality and fantasy, and once again awakened those pictures in Chu Jiashu's memory, which is more real and vivid than "buried alive", because it is not virtual The memories that come out are the life he actually experienced.

The moment the doctor pronounced the test results, all the memory fragments surged out from the depths of his mind, swallowing him in an instant.

During the entire performance, he was on the verge of losing control. The power of memory was really too strong. Countless mixed emotions ran rampant in his mind, bursting bit by bit, and the surging energy injected into the performance. With a deep-rooted infectious force, the difference between Chu Jiashu and Adam has gradually disappeared, and the barriers between movies and reality have been completely shattered.

Even though Renly watched it again, his limbs were still cold involuntarily, as if he had once again experienced the moment that decided the turning point of his life, and the rejection and resistance from the bottom of his heart burst out, so sharp that it stabbed every inch of bone, The muscles of the body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the pain of tearing the soul was unbearable.

This is not acting, this is reality.

But here's the problem. It's real, not show.

Renly was no longer the Chu Jiashu who heard the verdict from the doctor for the first time, he knew what he was going to face, he knew how long the next ten years would be, and he knew what was going on behind this decision. What impact it had on his life, he knew he was trapped there, he knew the pain, the anger, the despair, the struggle. For ten years, the influence of every day was deeply imprinted in his soul.

But Chu Jiashu, who had just learned the diagnosis, didn't know it.

Will too. The current Will is different from the original Will. When I recollected the scene at that time, everything was so clear, but everything was so vague.

Scientists once conducted in-depth research and investigations and concluded that memory can deceive people.

For example, when a couple quarrels, the pictures in the memory of both parties are completely different in the same scene. This is not surprising, because everyone has different thinking positions, but what is interesting is that if you record the scene of the quarrel, let the couple first Explain the quarrel process, and then replay it for the couple to watch, and then it will be found that the facts narrated by both parties deviate from the video.

Because everyone just chooses the pictures they want to see, hear, and remember, and keep them in their memory. Therefore, the same event will present different results in the minds of different people; the same memory will leave different traces at different times.

Many childhood memories are left with only smells, colors and fragments that cannot be pieced together. The same holds true for Renly and Will.

During the filming just now, Renly's sense of substitution was so real and profound that everything he had experienced in the past ten years was magnified. His anger, his frustration, his frustration, his The daze, his pain, as if being placed under the microscope, let him experience it again. It was as if after escaping the torment of hell, he was thrown into the torment of the black lotus fire once again.

Every detail of the pain is so delicate and clear.

This can be said to replicate the performance of "Buried Alive" and even go a step further. Because Renly was not really buried alive, but was actually sentenced to death. However, the same method is feasible in "buried alive", but not in "anti-cancer me".

"Buried alive" in a narrow environment, all emotions are magnified ten times or even a hundred times, and even some are out of reality and enter an ideal illusory environment. Screen,

Pass it on to every audience, and truly involve the idea of ​​watching the movie into the movie, and the feeling of horror and fear will make the spine feel clear for a while.

But in "Anti-Cancer Me", it is rooted in reality. Compared with the ups and downs of ups and downs, the emphasis is on the sense of reality integrated into life.

What's more, Renly knew that his reaction would not be so dramatic or violent when he learned of the diagnosis. He knew this well, and always had.

After the diagnosis was pronounced, the feeling of unreality lasted for a long time. He knew what the result meant. The doctor explained it clearly, but he still didn't understand what it meant and how much it would affect his life. Influence, those results, those terms, those sequelae, everything is just a word left on paper.

It's like being pregnant, you don't really understand what pregnancy means until the moment the morning sickness comes. In fact, high paralysis or cancer is the same.

Will is no exception. After learning that he had cancer, he was in a trance. He knew what cancer meant. He searched the Internet for information, and found that his chance of survival was 50%. The first thought in his mind was, "100%. Fifty out of ten is not bad, it's a half chance, compared to those ten percent diseases, this is already a lucky thing, isn't it?"

So, he began to face it positively and optimistically, accepted chemotherapy, accepted psychological counseling, and worked hard to survive.

Until a certain moment of a certain day, he suddenly realized that fifty percent, which means that he has a half chance of continuing to survive, but a half chance of dying, and his life has come to an end. Death, this moment has never been clearer, cancer, this moment has never been more real.

This is the case for everyone, even if it is a 99% success rate, but when faced with the real face, an idea will inevitably pop up in the heart, if that 1% happens, what should I do? Just like an air crash, there is no struggle, no resistance, no chance, and the entire army is wiped out.

cancer. How powerful and destructive this word really is, only those who have actually experienced it can understand; for most people, it is just a ranking of diseases.

Therefore, when the doctor informed the diagnosis result, the dazedness, the chaos, and the confusion were actually chaotic. He knew that he was in trouble, but he didn't know what changes this trouble would bring.

All of this, Renly had already figured out all of this before the official start of filming; but after he started filming, the emotions were too turbulent and too hot, and the rhythm of the performance was destroyed.

This is one of the characteristics of method acting. It is often difficult to control, and dazzling sparks burst out in an unreasonable way. The strong chemical reaction is hard to ignore, and the madness survives.

If it fits the role, it will be wonderful. For example, the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood" is really chilling; but if it deviates from the role, it exerts too much force, or it deviates. The script, overwhelming, is a disaster, and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in "Hoover" is a typical example.

Renly did the same just now.

The whole performance not only deviated from the track, but also was seriously out of balance, causing the whole scene to be full of a sense of violence.

The so-called method acting skills need to be out of control, but not completely out of control. To be precise, what they need is to integrate into the role and truly understand the role. It is correct for a character to show the corresponding emotions at the corresponding point in time. If he is out of control all the time, he is a lunatic, not a normal person.

The Joker played by Heath Ledger in "Batman: The Dark Knight" is hailed as a representative of Methodist performances, as mad as a devil, because he treats the joker, disdain, playfulness and ridicule of the Joker. The style is revealed, and the indifference and arrogance rooted in the soul are the core of the performance.

The Joker is a no-government/governmentist who ignores social rules, moral constraints, and right and wrong. In Heath's performance, the Joker is not an indulgent lunatic, but a calm, wise bead in his hands. The individual plays with the applause, with the kind of comic and sarcasm that is unique to the clown, even if it is just a sentence of "why is so serious", the understatement creates a chilling villain effect.

Later, in the work of "Suicide Squad", the overall quality of the clown played by Jared Leto dropped a grade.

Of course, the factors that the producers cut a lot of scenes must be taken into account, but objectively speaking, Jared's version of the clown pays too much attention to the help of external forces, and the image and shape repeatedly break the rules, showing that wild and uninhibited attitude. , but the clown's own style of behavior, including eyes, lines, movements, etc., the traces of the performance are too obvious, too deliberate, but lost the clown's random, flamboyant characteristics. Empty shape, no soul.

Renly thought he was acting like a lunatic.

Completely substandard and disappointing, Renly was dissatisfied with himself, very dissatisfied. What he needs is explosive power after losing control, not losing understanding and control of the character.

This kind of performance is really amateurish. Although Renly clearly knew that he still needed to explore slowly on the road of acting; and he also realized that he had to go back to the starting point and polish his basic skills. "Anti-cancer me" and "detachment" are the best It was a great opportunity, but today's sap really made Renly realize that he was a little complacent.

The success of three consecutive works, and they are all praised, everyone said that he is an acting genius, and he is really complacent - even if it doesn't look like it on the surface, it is inevitable that he is a little high in the heart.

Under the circumstances that George and Elizabeth were not optimistic, he finally broke through the sky; after the dullness and depression of the previous life, he finally regained his new life.

But with the performance just now, it was enough to wake Renly up. It's terrible!
