It is really difficult to describe David's footsteps with a simple adjective. His indomitable persuasion is clumsy and cute, and he is a little bit paranoid and flustered. If you must find an accurate answer, then "children" are undoubtedly the best choice-especially children who are learning to walk but have not yet fully established themselves.

why?

It's as if the child saw the parents who were arguing, tried to stop it, but didn't know how to stop it, so he exhausted his breastfeeding effort, babbled and blocked his parents, and then he couldn't stand at all, so he stumbled. When I got up, even the silly cry, "Friend", was exactly like a child; coupled with the childish fighting posture of a lame man and a man with a big tongue, the image became more vivid.

All of them revealed a kind of naive arrogance. With a blank face, you can imagine the child pouting in protest. Those seemingly clumsy and childish behaviors are uncontrollable, but they give rise to a whole scene. This kind of absurdity makes the atmosphere of the whole scene different in an instant.

But this is not over yet.

The man with the big tongue has returned to the bench and sat down, angrily expressing vividly: He is very dissatisfied now.

David's footsteps were a little slower, moving in a step-by-step manner: stepped out of his left foot, right foot merged with his left foot, stood together, then stepped out of his left foot again, raised his right foot and moved together again... Walk normally in cross and change steps, but move up step by step, as if you are studying your own footsteps.

After his steps came to the bench, his movements were slightly more natural, and he sat down, but his hands were still placed on his knees with his fingers together, he sat upright and straightened his waist, then slightly adjusted his shoulders and smoothed his suit. And the folds of the shirt, as if preparing for a meeting.

However, his gaze glanced at the man with the big tongue secretly, and then returned to normal; then secretly glanced at the lame man, the state of wandering gaze again exposed his nervousness and anxiety. Unknowingly, he held his breath like this, lest his breathing might break the existing calm.

Because of his suffocation, David's face began to swell slightly-his sight was still moving quietly, but he refused to start breathing again, and then his cheeks became rosy little by little, visible to the naked eye.

The entire shooting scene remained completely silent, and the silent atmosphere was slowly spreading. Oggs did not interrupt the shooting, and the performance did not stop.

"card!"

When the sound of Ougs stopping shooting finally sounded, the first action of everyone on the set was to breathe. The gasp sound was particularly obvious. Some people even choked on their saliva and coughed violently because they were too anxious. Get up, the behavior without exception made everyone look at each other:

It turned out that I was not the only one who started to hold his breath because of Lan Li's performance. The tacit understanding that spread, made everyone gradually react, and then couldn't help it anymore, and the audience burst into laughter.

The more I think about it, the more funny!

The performances of John and Westshaw were very brilliant, showing the childish struggle of spirit, and complementing the absurdity presented by the whole story background; but the performances of the two are far inferior to Lanli, all the plays All eyes and bright spots fell on Lan Li's body.

Although Lan Li has only one line, "Friends", the grievance and helplessness in the voice are fully displayed through body language. Whether it is steps or actions, the black humor conveyed by those details not only shows the tone of the whole story. Only, it also extends the innocence and dullness of the role of David——

It was exactly the same as the previous performances, bit by bit to piece together the appearance of David's inexperienced and childish heart, which became the only light in the entire black comedy.

Amidst the laughter, even Oggs couldn't help but laugh.

John and Whisshaw, who had lifted the performance seal, also laughed, "God, you are really going to kill me! I almost laughed." John complained speechlessly, still can't believe Lan Li's performance just now is so successful and so unique, "You are a born comedian."

"No, the real comedy genius is Buster Keaton." Lan Li shook his head and said sincerely.

"Keeton?" Whisshaw was surprised.

Lan Li nodded and expressed his affirmation, "I got some inspiration from watching the movie last night. In fact, Buster Keaton's seemingly expressionless performances showed a changeable emotional level through body language, and the pace of his steps , The posture of the body, the pause of the rhythm, etc., these are all direct signals. I think maybe we can try in the performance to give the character more emotions, and then there will be today’s performance."

There was a soft sigh around: It turned out to be the inspiration brought by Buster Keaton.

John waved his hand again and again, "Wait, don't be fooled by this guy. Ben and I also watched the movie yesterday. Of course, we also got the inspiration, but we couldn't integrate into the performance like him. What is really important is that Lan Li Still a genius, otherwise everyone will watch Keaton and become a comedy legend?"

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized that, in the final analysis, Lan Li was still good.

This time, Lan Li didn't refuse any more, but spread his hands, "Yes, I am a genius." With that unlovable appearance, combined with the action of spreading his hands, the comic effect came out again.

"Lan Li, how did you finish your performance just now?" After hesitating for a while, Wei Shisha asked sincerely, "I mean, hand movements and footsteps, I always feel that the expression is not adequate, you know, this It should have been my crutches."

"Your performance is very good." Lan Li also said sincerely, "Your use of the lame is very correct, I don't think you need any guidance. However, we can communicate and see, my movements are actually very simple, that is Make all movements rigid and trivial."

Although there is no such classification in performances—at least professional performances are not classified as such, performances can indeed be divided into facial expressions and body language.

The body language of British theater actors is very rich, because these actions are all supplements to the lines; but American actors are relatively weak in this regard. The most representative is Meryl Streep. As a top actor in history, her expressions and lines are undoubtedly unquestionable. Even if she doesn't like it, one must admire her handling of details that gives the role too many possibilities, but her body language is very clumsy.

Looking closely at Meryl’s film works, her hands and feet are often lack of vitality, and most of her movements appear stiff and awkward, especially at the moment of emotional outburst, the body movements become dull and clumsy, unable to extend further. Characters’ emotions, actions and expressions are often easily separated, at least the actions cannot give expressions more emotional support.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Meryl. On the one hand, some people are naturally good at physical movements. On the other hand, it is the shackles caused by media such as movies and television. Unlike the theater stage, movies and television tend to be more inclined. Use close-ups or close-ups to show clearer expression changes to complete communication with the audience. Over time, the body language outside the camera is not taken seriously.

It can be said that this is related to the development of the times.

This is also the reason why British actors must regularly return to the theater stage. Those physical performance training play an important role in the overall performance.

As a British, Whisshaw's body language is also of sufficient level, but he is still working hard and learning, because he, like Lan Li, firmly believes that body movements are also an integral part of the entire performance.

This is the case at this time.

Physical performance is skillful, such as deliberately hitting the knees, which can make the walking posture awkward, and the steps presented by bending and not bending will have subtle changes; for example, adjusting the stride, the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe. The pace of the person is different from the pace of the panic all day long. The size of the steps combined with the changes in the eyes can often show a completely different mentality.

In the performance, Lan Li consciously restrained his actions, even his thumb was stuck to his palm, and then the entire shoulder line was exerted force, creating a kind of hunchback effect-but not timid or fear, but It's clumsy, like an ostrich, dodges the danger while having to face the danger, and then can only stuff his head into the sand; finally with the penguin footsteps, the simple and awkwardness becomes complete~www .novelhall.com~ Of course, the finishing touch is the look in the eyes, the kind of eyes staring at the ground, which completes the whole performance. In the process of persuading, David can even blink quickly because of fear, and his facial features can be distorted because of fright. These details may not be seen in the chaos, and the audience will still be taken away by body language. The two people fighting, but the details are the best way to make the performance complete.

It is these details that Westshaw lacks. He makes full use of the cumbersome feeling created by the character's lame leg, but fails to find the correct chemical reaction in the details of the upper body movement and the expressiveness of the hands. This is the character being robbed. The reason for the shining light-maybe because he lacks a little inspiration for the comprehension of body movements, or it may be because he lacks a little in-depth study of the character's personality.

A truly advanced performance can tell the audience: why he walks like this, why he sits like this... you can find the context in every move, and the director's lens can keenly capture these details and present them without a trace; at the same time, the actor It is perfect to be able to blend into it naturally, without any clues to be carved and polished.

But such a performance is too difficult and difficult. So far, even Lan Li himself is still exploring, which is why he needs to study tirelessly.
