The tonality of the whole movie of "Lobster" is very cold, and there is a mechanical coldness inside and out, which is consistent with Oggs's usual film style, which also means that the actors' performances should not have too many ups and downs. , It must not be too exposed, and must be consistent with the image style.

Then, the actor must dig more into the character. Only when the internal chemical reaction is generated can the most complete effect be presented in the simplest performance, otherwise... the whole script may be a group of walking corpses strolling-think about it this way , It seems to be very in line with Oggs' needs.

This reminds Lan Li of not long ago the Golden Lion Award winner at the Venice Film Festival, "Holding the Sparrow Quiet". That movie has such an effect, as is the case with Swedish director Roy-Anderson (Roy-Anderson). Style; and the same is true for the Finnish director Aki-Kaurismaki. "The man without the past" is one of the masterpieces——

In the future, if you have the opportunity to challenge such a way of acting, it is bound to be very, very interesting. The actors converge all their personalities and edges, presenting a cold Nordic style. The expressionless face means that there is no emotion in the true sense. The emotions are all pulled away, even colder and stiffer than "The Walking Dead", and the shooting atmosphere on the set is worth recording.

Lan Li couldn't help but cheer up just by brainstorming.

Back to the "lobster", what kind of personality should David be?

A nerd otaku who "wanders outside the mainstream society and still maintains a heart of innocence, so much so that he believes in love but refuses to accept the arrangement and is even willing to do everything for love"

This setting should be very interesting. For example, his favorite movie is "Sixteen Candles"; for example, his favorite is "Pride and Prejudice"; for another example, his favorite poem is Rimbaud... …And so on, showing that kind of romance that is so incurable that some naive stupidity is completely revealed, and injecting an unrealistic idealism into the character, which is incompatible with the setting of Oggs, but can create a contrast for the film. , And then complete the entire circle of mocking metaphors.

According to this setting, many small details can penetrate into the movie.

His handkerchief is pink-if this is too girly, you can replace it with a pencil or a business card or something smaller; his favorite fruit is strawberries-or cherries, and dessert can be strawberry mousse; He has cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, everything must be clean and neatly regulated-this can be learned from Matthew's living habits...

The more you think, the more divergent, and the more excited you are.

Lan Li even sat up altogether, muttered to himself and began to "discuss", and finally stood up again, and began to wander around the study indiscriminately:

Not only thinking about the role of David, but also thinking about "how to give the director the desired role weight within a limited space and limited space, and how to interpret the actor's own understanding of the role, and there will be no robbery or even The danger of breaking the balance". This is an interesting topic.

Oggs is a director who is very stylized and relies heavily on actors. These are two contradictory sides, but they are combined because of Oggs.

How to understand?

In Oggs’s lens images, he needs to maintain that calm to cold texture, composition, light, color and space, etc., there is not much room for the actor to perform freely, such as "detached" the last fixed shot, " The opportunity to schedule the "Zuixiang Folk Song" super long shots simply does not exist. In other words, if the actor's desire/desire to perform is too strong, it will steal the spotlight, even destroy the sense of the picture, and then destroy the overall presentation effect.

The actor is a symbol in Oggs's lens.

But at the same time, Oggs’ stories often have an absurd effect. The three children imprisoned at home in "Dog Tooth", the indifferent to almost evil boy in "Death of the Deer", and the cold and distorted in "Lobster" The hotel manager of, these characters themselves are part of the plot, as weird and coldly embedded in the whole work like a chess piece, he needs the actors to show that absurd effect, and the importance of the quality of the performance is particularly prominent.

Actors are also part of Oggs' overall style.

It can be said that Oggs needs actors to perform but also needs actors to control the performance. Everything must fit perfectly in the correct position, so that the most perfect effect can be presented-a little insufficient, then it may be completely Submerged in Oggs's entire work; it is too exaggerated, then Oggs may directly cut off the lens and refuse to destroy the integrity of the work.

The most direct proof is Oggs’s work:

In all previous works, including "Dog's Tooth", "Alps", "Lobster", "Death of the Deer", etc., none of the performances won any awards or even nominations; but "Favorite" has become It is a masterpiece, and there are many reasons for it:

Partly because of the absurd comedy effect of the whole work, Oggs allowed the actors to perform a sense of clown banter—not a prank but a banter, which gave the actors more performance space; partly because the work was loved. And even the actors have received a series of incidental votes; but the most important reason is that the four words are just right.

Three heroines, Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.

Emma closed the performance, converging all the previous sharpness, faintly revealing a hint of playfulness and cunning, but it perfectly fits the character and the overall style of the work. In Lan Li’s view, this is the best career of Emma. It even surpassed the "City of Philharmonic", which won the Oscar for Emma, ​​and truly achieved the perfection.

Rachel pressured the performance, completely in line with the style of Oggs's works, cold and strong, the whole momentum burst from the inside out, seemingly unsettled but secretly thundering, the perfect state is comparable to her 2005 Relying on the "immortal gardener" to win the Oscar for best supporting actress peak level, very pleasing.

Olivia plays the performance, and the freely retractable performance will seem out of place in Ogus’ usual works, but it becomes the finishing touch in the overall absurd work of "The Beloved", from the role setting to the work. In style, Olivia's slightly released performance completely combines comical and ridicule, and finally becomes a playful eye.

Although the three heroines of "Favorite" Qi Qi won a series of nominations during the awards season, the reason is not that simple; but what is certain is that the right performance is indeed a perfect fit with Oggs. This It also proves that in Oggs's works, actors do have room to play, but it is definitely not so easy for actors to seize the opportunity.

Does this mean...challenge?

Thinking of this, Lan Li couldn't bear his excitement and excitement.

So far, the director has given him enough space for all the works that Lan Li has participated in. Even the "detached" Tony Kaye only made countless demands. In the process of discussing with each other, Lan Li gradually Finding a way to perform; and now whether the director is willing to give him space, it’s still uncertain for the time being — it’s not even sure whether Lan Li will play, but even if Ogus is willing to give Lan Li free space, Lan Li can’t do whatever he wants Want to play:

His performance style must be agreed with the director, and at the same time, he must find his own style and characteristics within a limited framework, and must not break the balance of the overall performance.

This is very, very, very worth looking forward to.

In the past few works, Lan Li’s performances have received countless praises, including the praise of "freely retractable"; now is the time to truly test whether this evaluation is up to standard. In the previous life, Colin Farrell did not Can give David this role more impressive highlights-there are many reasons, not entirely Colin's performance; then, in this life, can Lan Li complete this difficult task?

Lan Li's footsteps couldn't be stopped just because of his brain replenishment.

In the study room, Lan Li began to search for psychology-related books on the shelf-although he had read some psychology books before, this time was different.

Oggs has psychological implications for the story and the metaphors of the characters. Furthermore, the actor's understanding of the role must also be integrated into the psychological understanding, especially the setting and conception of the role of David, from the past to the present In the future, how the whole character's context is formed will help the performance, the script of Oggs, and the overall quality of the work.

Although Lan Li's memories of the script and the characters are rather vague, this does not prevent Lan Li from opening his mind and conceiving the whole world based on his divergent thinking.

Then, Lan Li started to get busy again~www.novelhall.com~ In this room, Lan Li was plunged into the world of performances. Even during the holidays, he couldn’t help but start swimming; then, Oggs. The discussion with Andy faced many problems.

As Lan Li thought, the ideal candidate for Oggs is not Lan Li. Although he is the hottest actor in the world, not every director buys it. More precisely, not every role is suitable. Compared to David, Lan Li is too young, too handsome, and too...famous, which makes Ougs inevitably hesitate, worrying that Lan Li is too big and he can’t control Lan Li in the crew. .

The fact is, he really has no way to control Lan Li; but Lan Li is a dedicated actor, and Lan Li also showed his dedication to Oggs.

Renly met with Oggs in London and discussed the script and characters. This also confirmed that Oggs's story setting did have a deviation-he did not remain single with David at all. The reason was set, which also caused the whole story to be unable to gain a foothold, and after Lan Li expounded his understanding and inspiration to Oggs... things changed for the better.
