Renly eloquently explained his understanding of the role, presented his preparations, looked at Tony intently, and communicated with sincerity and dedication.

Tony raised his head, and saw the focused look in those dark brown eyes, faded the calmness just now, and burst out with unimaginable charm. This made Tony involuntarily compare the Renly in front of him with the Henry just now. That kind of calmness without any movement, like a pool of stagnant water, without a bit of light, the image of Henry in his mind gradually became full.
"You mean, this is what you want to show? The effect that looks like stagnant water?" Tony said, finally understanding what Renly meant.
"Accurately, what I want to present is a kind of calm. Not the gloom and despair of stagnant water, just the indifference that refuses to open up. It looks very normal on the outside, but the heart is dead." Renly thought about it seriously. , corrected Tony's statement, and then explained further.
"Henry is the core of the whole film. In my opinion, his emotions are not a straight line, but a constantly fluctuating curve. He thinks he is a straight line, but when he encounters different people and different things, the flaws in him are More and more, exposed little by little. Finally naked/naked in front of the audience, step by step toward the end of the movie. It's a process."
In the last life, Adrien Brody starred in "Transcendence". The development of the whole emotion was a straight line. His explosions and ups and downs did not have an accurate direction, but the despair and sadness rooted in his heart were more vividly displayed. , that's all. But after getting rid of those outbursts, his grief still overflows and becomes a routine, which keeps Henry's image in the sad and gloomy stage throughout the film.
This can be said to be shackled by his image, the melancholy and frail appearance always lingering; it can also be said to be his performance routine, from "pianist" to "detachment", the actor's temperament has always been implemented in it, which also restrains his acting field. Even in comedy films like "Crossing Darjeeling", the performance routine has not been broken.
Of course, there are benefits. Adrian gives the film a relatively stable state: a state of despair and melancholy. This emotion is boundless, and it fully makes the audience feel the creator's intention, and makes those who feel the same feel deeply.
But Renly didn't want that. He hopes that through his own understanding of the characters, in the progress of the performance, he can show the different depths, thicknesses and breadths of the characters, not only to make Henry fuller, but also to make the promotion of the ending smooth. , or to enrich the emotions of the whole film and make the core of the whole film deeper.
Because Renly knew that Tony's original intention for making this film was far more than just telling Henry as a character. His goal was education, society, and the whole blueprint. For this ambition, Renly agrees, he hopes to be a part of it, and more importantly, he hopes that his performance can achieve further breakthroughs.
This time, for the graduation exam of expressive acting, Renly hopes to give it a shot.
Tony's emotions gradually increased, and he could understand Renly's meaning, which made him chew carefully; but it was all too abstract for the language to explain clearly and directly. He is not an actor after all, and has no acting talent. He has only a vague understanding of the details of his acting skills and the aura of the performance. He cannot outline the corresponding specific image in his mind, and he cannot see the context and end point of the entire performance.
It feels a bit like a math problem. The numbers and words in front of him are extremely clear and accurate. He knows that there is a formula that connects all the numbers, and he also knows that there is a law that can point to the correct answer. The problem is that he doesn't know the formula and the law, so the numbers change. It became a meaningless pile of gibberish.
It sucks! Tony rubbed his hair viciously. His hair, which was messy before, was even more messy now, but his brain was still like a weed, unable to sort out a clear idea.
Suddenly, Tony yanked his hair violently, and the extreme action pulled the knotted hair out, making people feel the pain on the scalp clearly, even Renly stood by and looked at it. He couldn't help feeling the pain, and Tony grinned even more, but he didn't care at all, and said eagerly, "Replay, let's watch the replay!"
He actually forgot this most important thing. He is the director, so naturally he can't communicate with Renly as an actor. He needs to re-examine the scene just now from the director's position, and then digest Renly's thoughts. . This is the correct way. "Watch and replay first, then talk about it." After speaking, Tony didn't wait for Renly, and trotted all the way to the location of the monitor.
Renly and Tony were standing on the playground of the school. There was no one around. The nearest staff were also separated by more than fifteen meters. They couldn't hear the conversation between the two at all. They could only judge from their expressions and try to guess. As a result, Tony ran back without warning, and the crew members who were standing there watching, suddenly frowned.
Hurala, the crew of the crew didn't know why, so they hurriedly dodged, and there was chaos on the set, leaving all the onlookers full of question marks. Just now Tony and Renly were still at a stalemate, and Tony fled all the way in a blink of an eye? How is this going
Tony still doesn't know the people's slander. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care. He ran all the way to the monitor, bit the dead skin on his lip, gestured with his chin, and said eagerly, "Replay, replay. ." His request was not answered immediately, obviously everyone beside him was at a loss, but Tony didn't have a chance to explain, and said again, "Play it back!"
This time, Tony's request was finally fulfilled, and the playback began.
While Tony was watching the replay, Roy quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Renly waved nonchalantly, "Where's the script?"
Roy was stunned for a while, but didn't react; Nathan, who arrived later, handed over the script immediately. Then Roy saw Renly standing there and started to read the script directly, which made Roy full of question marks: Still reading the script? This script has been ripped up by Renly—
Literally, it's really rotten. The front and back covers were replaced by Nathan, but the pages inside were frayed and torn in some places, leaving a lot of notes in the blanks. Roy thought that Renly had memorized the entire script over and over again, and there was no line in the first and second scenes, so why continue to read the script
Renly knew exactly what was filming today, including all the plot twists and lines. Not all scripts are worth re-reading like this. For example, the script of "Fast and Furious 5" is more important than the script, and the communication with the martial arts instructor and stunt instructor is more important, but the script of "Transcendence" is more important. , Every line and every scene has a stage-like imagery, but it is definitely worthy of careful study.
However, Renly is now just a habitual move. When I was on the set, reading the script was actually a kind of thinking, not really reciting the lines. Renly was also mulling over Tony's opinion just now.
Whether it's the "detached" finished product of the last life or the simple exchange just now, it can be seen that Tony is a director who is extremely dependent on the lens, but this lens is not Paul Thomas Anderson or Darren Arono Like Fsky, who captures the details of the performance through the changes of light and shadow and the setting of angles, Tony's lens has a raw and rough feeling, opening and closing, close to the documentary, or it can be said to be close to the audience's perspective of the stage play. , record the original ecology of the performance, and then present the emotions naked in front of the audience.
This also means that in the process of cooperating with Tony, the performance needs to be released a little more. This kind of outburst does not refer to emotional outbursts, but emotional pauses. At each node of the performance, he needs to leave a momentary pause of one millisecond or two milliseconds.
This kind of pause is actually not reflected on the entire timeline, and it has disappeared before even blinking an eye. However, during the performance, the direction of the eyes, the pauses in the eyes, and the fine-tuning of the expression, enlarge the time of this millisecond, give more space to fill the emotions, and make the performance fuller.
Intuitively, that's how Meryl Streep's performance in "The Covered Bridge's Last Dreams" is. This is a soft and silent movie, the gentle emotions are like silent thunder, echoing in the depths of the soul.
Meryl gave a seemingly ordinary but vivid performance. Her small expression acting skills are undoubtedly a highlight, a moment when her eyes stop, when she loses her focus; The life-like but dramatic performance details have created a unique screen image.
However, Meryl is a representative of method acting. Her performance is full of spirituality and randomness, and she brings her acting talent to the fullest.
For the Academy's expressive acting, it's the study and control of emotional depths. Renly needs to watch the replay and gain a better understanding of Tony's footage before he can deduce his own performance scale. Then, Renly strode forward, walking towards the monitor as well.
Roy stared blankly at Renly like this, feeling that the rhythm of his thoughts couldn't keep up. First Tony, then Renly, the two men's behaviors are completely confusing and jaw-dropping. One second, the two were still arguing with red faces, and the next second, the two watched the replay side by side and exchanged opinions in a low voice from time to time.
This, what the hell is going on here? One lunatic, the other lunatic, so, this is the story of two lunatics meeting
