It's perfect.

This is the only thought in Ethan Cohen's mind at this moment.

From Cannes to Venice to the Oscars, in the past year, everyone said that Renly has dedicated a perfect performance in the "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs", truly presenting the present. The highest level of acting is not only the first young actor of the Y generation, but even in the entire Hollywood, it is comparable to the peak strength of Meryl Streep and Daniel Day Lewis.

It is precisely because of such praise that for a twenty-four-year-old actor, the hat is a bit too big. Coupled with the historical moment of EGOT, this has led to too much too much time. During the entire award season, everyone is repelling it. Lan Li, contempt and belittle Lan Li has gradually become the mainstream of the industry. It seems that everyone is "kindly" cooling Lan Li, hoping that he can have a longer-lived career.

In this regard, Ethan is noncommittal.

As a director, Ethan has personally experienced every performance in every scene of "Drunk Country Folk Songs". Although he is not the type of director who is good at tuning acting skills, he can still really feel that Lan Li gives a role in the performance. The exquisite texture and three-dimensional depth are indeed far ahead of peer actors. Even the now accomplished Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence, when compared with Lan Li, are still far behind.

For those cooling remarks, Ethan dismissed it; for those praises, Ethan fully agreed.

To be honest, for this year’s Oscar battle for the actor, Lan Li is the only candidate in Ethan’s mind. In terms of strength, talent and aura, it is difficult for other competitors to compete head-on with Lan Li, but... the Oscar battle has never been the case. In the competition of strength, even if Ethan hopes to witness the second actor of Lan Li, he is still powerless.

In other words, Ethan also believes that "gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" are indeed the pinnacle of Lan Li. He doesn't think that anyone can challenge Lan Li's two performances in the short term-

Yes, even if they are not qualified to challenge, let alone break through or overtake, even Lan Li himself may not be able to replicate such a feat. After all, such a difficult and so wonderful performance is unbelievable for the consumption of energy and physical strength. The actor is also a mortal/flesh/body, and the performance state is like a competitive state, which is bound to fluctuate. In a short period of time, if you want to replicate it again, the difficulty has risen exponentially. Even after some actors have released all their energy for a short time, they immediately regained their mediocrity.

Jamie Fox is such a typical example. In 2004, the "King of Soul Songs" and "Knife to Kill" instantly bloomed; but that year seemed to consume all energy, and then there was no performance worth mentioning. .

But today, Ethan has to overthrow his own ideas——

"Burst Drummer" is the real pinnacle!

The premise is that the film itself explores the process of finding the peak state of art-the game between Fletcher and Andrew, from the start to the uphill and then to the setback, and then the east mountain rises again but suffers a serious blow, and the fall to the bottom destroys hope. Finally break and stand, complete the soul baptism and sublimation with the act of killing/father, achieving perfection.

The whole movie clearly shows the whole process of artistic transformation and sublimation, even more complete than "Black Swan".

Although Damien Chazele’s technical control, including lens scheduling, screen editing, and lighting use, is still slightly inferior to Darren Aronofsky, and even slightly inferior to David Vinci. It is young, but the completeness of the performance complements the director's work and completes the integrity of the film.

This also means that "Burst Drummer" is inherently different from "Drunk Country Folk Songs" and "Gravity". Actors get a role platform that can openly explore acting ceilings and artistic barriers, if they can show their colors. , Then it is bound to shine unstoppable!

That was the case when Natalie Portman starred in "Black Swan".

Among the "Blasting Drummers", Lan Li truly shows the psychological transformation on the road of artistic exploration, from physical torture to psychological collapse, and then to the double baptism of psychological and physical levels, step by step. A true and dazzling self was found in the ocean of art, and reached its peak in the last performance, unreservedly showing the soul of art in front of the audience, bringing a pure and supreme enjoyment.

wonderful! Exciting! People can't help but want to stand up and applaud!

In particular, the contrast and reversal of the momentum between Andrew and Fletcher vividly and truly interpret the plot of "killing/father" on the road of artistic upgrading, and "Black Swan" Linina strangles the superego, releases the self, and breaks through. The self-transformation complements each other, showing the fission and sublimation of the spiritual level in the process of artistic transformation.

If only this is the case, the performance of "Burst Drummer" and the performance of "Black Swan" can only be regarded as comparable. To some extent, Nina played by Natalie Portman is even slightly better, mainly It’s also because director Darren Aronofsky’s shots give the character and the movie a horrifying temperament, which complements the struggle between the superego, the id, and the self, making the performance unbelievably powerful. charm.

But the reason why Lan Li is Lan Li is because he can always bring surprises continuously!

In the performance process, when the tension and courage were fully gushing out, Lan Li cleverly restrained his emotions, pressing all the emotional changes outside, and more to use his eyes to try to figure out the intricate psychological change texture— —

The so-called metamorphosis of artistic inspiration, no matter which way it is described, is too jerky and too awkward. Even if it is illustrated by the drums of a drum set, it appears pale and weak, and it is far from showing the subtle changes of the artist's inspiration; and Lan Li Through the eyes, it tells all the ups and downs, combined with the essential transformation of drum performance, presents this kind of artistic upgrade feeling, and finally leaves the space for thinking and recalling to the audience.

The eyes, the simplest but also the most difficult part of the performance, Lan Li has given infinite possibilities: the eyes of Andrew and Nicole on the second call, the eyes of Andrew talking with Fletcher in the bar, the eyes of Andrew hugging his father backstage, Andrew The look in the eyes at the last performance...

In the close-up shots, the psychological changes at every key turning point are all filled in the eyes. Compared with the publicity and release of the drum performance, the performances of artistic understanding and thought transformation are all restrained and low-key, converged and converged. , Which also makes the performance of the whole work truly relaxed and flexible.

The most amazing thing is that the mixed emotional changes presented by those delicate performances can be reflected in the plots that follow. The combination of the two helps the audience to complete the understanding and substitution, and at the same time, they are also completed step by step. Sublimation, the shock is gushing out from the depths of my heart.

This control, this interpretive power, this expressive power, and the most important thing is this spirituality. Natalie is easily thrown away in the "black swan" with a gesture and a smile. His performance, the natural and flowing emotional interpretation, is really too exciting and too terrifying, and even makes Natalie clumsy-obviously too much force, and lack of hierarchy, more of a single line all the way Walk to the end.

Of course, Natalie's performance in "Black Swan" is already top-notch, and among all Gen Y actors in the industry, this is still top-notch, and her strength is beyond doubt.

It's just that Lan Li is too bad.

Before today, Ethan never knew what a "perfect performance" is, even the old actors did not make him feel it-not that they were not good enough, but Ethan lacked the ability to perform. And understanding, it's as if some people can never appreciate the pros and cons of spirits or food.

But starting today, Ethan has truly felt the weight of the word "perfect", not only a drumbeat of blood bursting, not only a breakthrough in mental torture, not only a personal/killing/father overthrow, not only The coldness of breaking the fetters, at the same time the paranoia and madness exuding from the inside out, even the eyes and the soul have completely changed.

When Andrew broke through Fletcher's suppression, he truly achieved perfect drumming; at the same time, Lan Li also broke through the shackles of performance and truly achieved perfection in acting. The double breakthrough in and out of the play broke the barriers of the big screen and brought a hearty and shocking movie-watching experience.

It transcended "gravity", transcended the "Drunk Country Folk Songs", and most importantly, transcended Lan Li himself and touched a whole new world of performance.

Inexplicably, Ethan recalled a brief interview with Renly during the Venice Film Festival. He mentioned at the time, "I now hope to try more different styles and types of roles and explore more possibilities for acting."

The words themselves seem official and polite. Almost every actor responds in every movie promotion period, "I want to challenge some new characters and try something different." But everyone knows ~www.novelhall. com~ This is just a slogan. Most actors in Hollywood repeat themselves throughout their careers. No one tries new things because they know that even if they try, nothing will change.

But now, Ethan has come to understand that Lanly hopes to challenge different character types such as comedy, action, horror, and even commercial film performance-this is not only to relax oneself, but more importantly because, in the plot At the level of the character, he has already seen the mountains and small mountains. Even the works of "Nightcrawler" with a sword and slanting front can not give Lan Li more sense of challenge.

Although this is a little weird, Lan Li is only twenty-four years old; but after watching "Burst Drummer", this is what Ethan really feels!

The art is perfect!

Yes, Lan Li has touched the perfection of art.
