"Renly, some people think that in 'The Lobster', your performance has not really been excavated, and your cooperation with Oggs doesn't seem to have enough chemistry, what do you think about that? "
"Oggs, what do you think of Renly's performance?"
"Renly, it wasn't long ago that we enjoyed your terrific performance in 'The Popping Drummer', do you think 'The Lobster' is relatively easy?"
"Renly, what was your most impressive performance in the whole movie, and why?"
"Renly, the solo dance in the woods is definitely out of balance. How does this affect the structure of the entire film?"
"Renly, you've played a frustrated middle-aged man four times in a row from 'Drunken Country Ballad' - although Andrew is a young man, the overall tone is very dark, grey at least, doesn't that mean , Has the tone of your performance been fixed?"
"Rachel, what was it like filming opposite Renly?"
"Oggs, how would you rate the performance of the entire movie? Are you satisfied?"
"Renly, how do you interpret the ending of the whole movie?"
"Renly, the film has caused a lot of controversy at Cannes, and the reviews seem to have fallen short of expectations. How do you feel?"
"Renly, many people criticize 'lobster' for form over content, bypassing the void, what is your opinion on this?"
"Renly, do you think you've brought something new to your performance this time?"
…
Renly, Renly, Renly, it can be clearly noticed that the absolute core of the "Lobster" post-screening press conference is Renly, and more than two-thirds of the questions revolve around Renly; but this is also to be expected, The entire crew is ready to face the frenzy with a relaxed attitude.
To be sure, Cannes still showed the style of the three major European film festivals. Gossip and rumors did not steal attention. Most of the problems still revolved around the film, especially Renly's performance - can't blame the reporters, after all, Lan Li has just reached the Oscar for the second time, and "Lobster" almost appeared on the cusp of the storm. These problems can also be said to be expected, and then they happened naturally.
Renly also showed his general demeanor, calm, comfortable, chatty, and from time to time leading the conversation to his fellow crew members to ensure that the entire press conference was maintained in a cheerful and relaxed state, and the other actors could also Join the discussion thread.
"Renly, who is the director you would most like to collaborate with for all the works exhibited at this year's Cannes Film Festival? So, from a global perspective, who is the director you have not yet collaborated with and are eager to get a chance to?"
Although it is still a standard question, it is obviously much more interesting than gossip rumors.
Even though he was constantly dealing with reporters all morning and should have been exhausted by the afternoon, Renly showed his professional attitude and remained highly focused throughout.
"George Miller and Xiaoxian Hou." Renly gave his answer, which was far beyond the expectations of the reporters at the scene. Renly also did not retain his attitude, and once again emphasized his concern for "Mad Max" ", and then talked about his expectations for "Assassin Nie Yinniang".
Like the position of the jury, questions like this can always reveal one's artistic taste. No doubt, Renly had another surprise.
"Steven Spielberg and David Fincher." This is the answer to the second question, "Actually, there are really, many directors worth choosing. Not long ago, I was talking with Wes Anderson. Started shooting plans for his next work; Richard Linklater also talked to me about shooting 'Boyhood', which is fascinating; and of course, Alejandro Gonzalo Reis Inaritu is one of them."
"But I'm still looking forward to the opportunity to work with Steven and David." Renly explained his views objectively, "They can always incorporate their own thoughts on shots, on editing, on composition, actors and actresses. Having to be a part of it too, it's definitely a special performance experience."
While "War in the Pacific" was produced by Steven Spielberg, he never actually helmed the cameras, which means Renly hasn't worked with the big-time director yet.
At the end of the press conference, nearly a hundred people were crowded in front of the stage, and the crowd was so impassable that the crew couldn't leave. The main purpose of the reporters was to take photos with Renly and ask for Renly's autograph.
This is also a unique sight, because Cannes is now open to more and more self-media, and emerging media other than traditional media have joined this grand party. Difficulties, of course, must seize the opportunity.
As a result, the press conference site was like a fan meeting, and the close contact between the photo and the autograph was very lively.
As you can see from the questions in the press conference, Renly's performance is still the most popular topic of discussion.
Undoubtedly, the light-heavy and wise-ass performance in "The Lobster" attracted a full house, and the continuous laughter at the premiere was the best proof; but compared to previous works, "The Lobster" did not give Renly a "highlight moment". "The spotlight, as it is necessary to sigh that Renly has made another breakthrough, it seems a little difficult.
Especially after the second Oscar, it seems that the expectations have not been met. Compared with the past, the "best career" praise is indeed a bit dull.
Or are journalists really running out of words to know how to praise Renly
To this end, the French professional film magazine "Features" wrote an article, commenting on Renly's performance in detail.
"Stiff. Stiff. Cold. Stiff. Jerky.
Yorgos-Lanthimos's unique film language defines a performance framework for each actor, relying on rhythm and atmosphere to create a dark humor effect, which does not leave much room for the actors to play - a little force Fierce, the actor may break the balance of the film, but it is too much.
But Renly Hall did it anyway.
The expressionless and calm performance style gives the characters a sense of 'marionette' rigidity, bursting out enough energy in the absurd and bizarre story background, not only to amuse the audience, but also to let everyone see a different story. Renly, it's already worth the price.
However, the reason why Renly is Renly is that his interpretation and understanding can always give more vitality to the characters. The three scenes in the whole film succinctly and powerfully deepen the theme of the film and make this work more powerful. many possibilities.
Check in hotel, forest solo dance, ending restaurant.
In these three scenes, Renly continued the performance of the whole movie, with stiff and clumsy body language, all emotions were hidden under the cold and rigid frame of the camera, but Renly changed the rhythm of the performance, Incorporate the character's psychological emotions into every detail:
Eyes, fingers, shoulders. It is these subtle body language, or introverted, or paused, or outburst, short but powerfully injected into the soul.
Just from the last opposing scene at the end, you can feel Renly's strong acting skills. The ups and downs of emotions, emotional changes and mental advancement are just between a pause and an eye lift. It seems that there is no carving, but it is clearly presented. With that kind of power, it blows:
Hesitation, hesitation, fear, panic, withdrawal, fear… then it all morphs into love. Driven by love, he became firm and persistent; but the brief flash of confusion in Renly's eyes gave the character a deeper meaning: Is this true love? Or is this just what he thinks is love
The fleeting emotional pause further elevates the core idea of the entire film to a whole new level. In the end, the open ending left by Oggs is not just about love, marriage or social relations, but also a kind of thinking and rumination about the society by the two characters themselves. It can even go a step further and make their confusion become a mirror of society, in contrast to the two situations of hotels and forests.
That makes the movie so much more possible, which is what makes Renly so good as an actor.
Renly-Hall's performance skills and abilities have entered a new stage. Emotional processing at his fingertips does not require too much detailing, but can change the foothold of emotions through internal adjustments such as changes in rhythm and strength, and transform the story. The intricacies of the kernel are presented.
With this ability alone, Renly has already entered the master level, which is indeed not in line with age.
The more valuable part of the work 'The Lobster' is that it shows Renly's ability to control comedy, constantly restraining its own brilliance and edges, which fits in with the performance rhythm of the whole movie, and the bizarre and absurd plot is flawless. It fits the character and creates a comedic effect.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"
Renly has a golden age mime effect, like Buster Keaton, seemingly expressionless but actually emotional, this is undoubtedly a high-level comedy. "
The entire film review revolves entirely around Renly, and praised him in an unquestionable tone. Following the two Oscars at the beginning of the year, Renly once again rectified his name. This actor who has created countless miracles at a young age is still a French media actor. Beloved. The "feature film" is only a part of the praise. From the perspective and attitude of the mainstream media in Europe, Renly's performance still received unanimous praise.
