In the story segment of "Drunk Town Ballad", LeVinn Davis's living conditions did not change in any way, and it seemed that after turning a circle, he returned to the same place. But, after careful analysis, is this really the case?
In just one week, LeVine learned that he was about to become a father, but had to raise money to dispose of the child because he was pregnant with his best friend's wife and because he had no energy or ability to raise it. this kid.
Le Vern met a group of young people who entered the folk music circle with dreams. They chose to compromise with the market, and they were younger and more commercial. They achieved success, but he still did not. He envied, but refused to be them.
LeVine made a desperate trip to Chicago, hoping to find his Bole, but failed. After returning, he chose to become a crew member and gave up his dream, but had to give up because his sister lost his crew card, and after losing a lot of cash, he returned to the Gaslight Bar.
He is spinning, he has been spinning in place, struggling to survive, persevering, struggling, but he can't find an exit. So, after a circle, he returned to the ballads again.
Why are Le Verne's ballads always bitter? Because this is his life.
Understanding and entering Le Verne's dilemma is not easy for actors, but it is not the core problem. The real difficulty lies in the conflicts and waves brought about by these dramatic turns, which change Le Verne little by little. mentality.
If there is no change, the characters will become numb and stupid, there will be no waves or ups and downs, just a flat straight line, all the drama of the story disappears in the performance, and the audience will naturally not be able to calm down and savor . Especially when the Coen brothers intercepted a segment of the era that went around in place, it was easy to lose the patience of the audience after the lack of performance changes.
When the end came, it seemed that nothing had changed, but Le Verne was different after all.
Renly couldn't help but start to think about whether Oscar-Isaac's performance lacked layers and changes in his last life, so he lost more delicate texture, but the memory in his mind was a little blurry, and now I think back again Up, "Drunk Town Folk" still left some superficial fragments and concepts, but the details were completely lost.
In a sense, this also explains part of the problem. Oscar Isaac's performance is undoubtedly excellent, and Renly personally likes it very much; but it lacks aftertaste and depth, and the tail is insufficient, which affects the extension of the character and the aftertaste of the story.
In the absence of crutches, how exactly should the role of Le Verne be presented? To be more precise, how should the struggle of Le Verne, who is under the wave of folk songs, be presented in just seven days? Although a week is not enough for LeVine's personal state and mentality to undergo earth-shaking changes, how should those sporadic ripples be presented and how to dig out?
Renly needs time and space to get out of the Ryan Stone story and into the world of Le Verne Davis, but unfortunately, that's exactly what he's missing the most right now.
It's an interesting script, no doubt, and an interesting character.
On the surface, the performance does not seem to be too challenging. After all, the story does not discuss any human nature, nor does it discuss any philosophy, at least compared to the profoundness of "Gravity", "Drunken Country Ballad" seems to be a refreshing vanilla ice cream , there is not much difficulty; but after calming down and thinking deeply, you can see the difficulties clearly.
far more difficult than imagined.
Because of the lack of time, Renly chose an extreme method. In the past few days, he has been listening to the original soundtrack of "Drunken Country Ballads" over and over again.
There is no time to think about the script, and no time to explore the characters, but to relax little by little, use the music as a bridge, really listen to the soul and life behind those melodies, and really spy on the era and history behind those musical symbols, enter The world of folk music in the 1960s, into the world reshaped by the Coen brothers.
If there is enough time, Renly is willing to find real old people and experts, ordinary people who have experienced the wave of that era, sit down and have a long talk, and deeply understand the ballad wave of the 1960s, from history to anecdote, from hearsay to fact; And learn more about those folk singers in the 1960s, those famous and unknown singers, who found their presence in the whole trend of the times.
Unfortunately, Renly didn't have the time.
So Renly took a more direct approach and asked a series of questions, asking the Coen brothers as directors and producers, asking the co-stars in the same work, and asking himself, and then Waiting for answers, waiting for brainstorming, waiting for the collision of ideas, giving him more inspiration for performances.
"Le Verne Davis is not a symbol. In the tide of the times, he is just a drop of water, insignificant, and may be a symbol of a loser, but in Le Verne Davis' life, he is just a drop of water. Not only that, he is the whole world. So, how did the changes and turmoil in this world happen and how did they appear?”
"Through the music? Or through the performance? Or, through the capture of the camera and the foreshadowing of the plot? Especially the beginning and the end, LeVern performed the same piece, is there any difference between these two performances? The arrangement is also different. Or is there a difference in the way of interpretation?"
Entering the performance world, Renly is still the same Renly, but no longer the same Renly,
The focused gaze was even mixed with a hint of aggressive sharpness, and the steady voice revealed more profound meaning in the simple words, which easily triggered a series of chain thoughts.
Slowly, those intricate and meaningful eyes gradually closed, and they fell on Renly and the Coen brothers with concentration and enthusiasm. In the world of "Drunken Town Folk Ballads", the noise subsided without knowing it.
Facing Renly's question, Joel fell into his own thoughts and did not answer immediately, but Ethan cut into the topic, "Oh, how do you say it? I thought that performance and music were integrated into one, each other. are inseparable."
"Ha, I'm sorry." Renly chuckled, "It's true, I think, I didn't express my meaning clearly." He thought about it seriously, and further explained, "In my opinion, every sound in the soundtrack is Every song can find the corresponding archetypal characters in the long history, and they are closely integrated with the creator.”
"In other words, what kind of environment, what kind of background, what kind of person created this song, what kind of wave of the times it represents, and what kind of development direction, this is complementary to the whole story. , they are no longer some simple songs, but a microcosm of the background of the entire era, and a portrayal of each character."
Renly still sat in the chair calmly, but there was a look of concentration in those eyes, completely ignoring all the sights and glances around him, and the whole world was only left with him and the director to start a brainstorming, also. Only he has a soul dialogue with the script and the characters.
"It also means that each song is given a different narrative meaning, it tells a story, but also a character, and further, the singer is definitely not just singing in the process of interpreting the song. So, my question Yes, does this mean that the re-creation and re-arrangement of the song, as well as the singer's re-interpretation, should be adjusted accordingly? Even the understanding of the characters is incorporated into it."
"If that's the case, then the way the songs are arranged and the way they're going to be performed will be very different; furthermore, during the live performance, the way will be different. I remember, you mentioned earlier, that all the tracks will be Doing the show on set, not the studio dub, right?"
In the end, Renly's eyes fell on Joel, and he officially responded to Joel's question just now.
Everyone fell silent and fell into their own thoughts. This is a very abstract concept. It can be seen that Renly is not talking nonsense, but has seriously thought about it; and, more profound, more mysterious, and more comprehensive than most people think.
Industry rumors can't help but come to mind. Renly is an actor, Renly is a singer, and Renly is a music creator. Before the name "Renly-Hall", many more can be added. Titles, that's what Vanity Fair does best, but at the end of the day, Renly is an artist. At least, he is exploring as an artist.
For music, performance, and creation, Renly has his own interpretation and interpretation, and opens up different possibilities to discuss with directors, screenwriters, and co-actors, hoping to inject more energy into the performance process, all of which All made him collide with the stories and characters of "Drunken Country Ballads" with endless sparks.
People thought that Renly was distracted and did not listen carefully to the director's narration; but in fact, those who listened carefully were not using their brains at all, just passively accepting information, while Renly seemed to be distracted, but he was carefully listening. Taste the director's words, and extend more possibilities.
So, who is the dedicated one?
Ironically, at this time, no one cared about the restless and restless figures beside them at all - only they were still distracted, while the others had followed Renly's words fully into their thinking and exploration. Even more so with the Coen brothers.
In just a few days, just through the mastering of the original soundtrack, Renly has already constructed the entire ballad world of the 1960s in his mind, and the role of LeVern Davis, but the time is still too short. However, his concepts and ideas are not comprehensive enough, he needs to communicate with the Coen brothers, and also needs the understanding and opinions of other actors.
Joel and Ethan exchanged glances with excited expressions, and they had to be thankful that they had found Renly.
