Although Rodrigo remained polite, Renly could feel the courtesy and perfunctory. He didn't understand what was going on. The two just had a face-to-face, didn't they
Was it because Rodrigo thought he was too young? Or is it because Rodrigo has already invited Ryan to play
Renly certainly knew his weaknesses, and he was too young, which wasn't really a good thing for Hollywood. Every year, a large number of teen movies are born in Hollywood, but the quality is very rare. The golden age of Hollywood actors is 35 to 45 years old, and more than 80% of the movie protagonists are within this range. , Most of the young actors played supporting roles. This is also one of the important reasons why it is extremely difficult for teenage actors to make a name for themselves.
The age of the male protagonist in "Buried Alive" is about thirty to thirty-five years old.
However, whatever the reason, Renly came to audition today to do everything in his power to get the chance to perform. Today's outfit is also carefully selected, and he has no plans to give up easily.
"Thank you for the compliment, it shows that my first job is still rewarding." Renly showed a grateful smile, and the relaxed teasing made Charles chuckle, but Rodrigo was slightly picky. Mei - "The Pacific War" is Renly's debut? Not good, really bad.
"I made a special trip today to participate in the 'Buried Alive' audition." Renly's eyes fell on Rodriguez, "You shouldn't have watched 'The Pacific War', I'm really relieved, these are two completely different The role, without the constraints of a fixed impression, my confidence in today's audition has risen a little bit."
Rodrigo couldn't help laughing out loud, this young man is indeed a slanted sword and different. Other rookie actors can't wait to vigorously promote their previous works, hoping to increase the bargaining chip of audition success, but he just does the opposite. Is this full of confidence? Still inexperienced
Thinking about it further, among the countless lists of works, he chose to be "buried alive", which is an interesting thing in itself, isn't it
"So, can we start the audition now? Or do I need to wait in line?" Renly stood behind Charles, implying that Charles was the actor who was auditioning. This simple action made Rodrigo and Charles both laughed.
Charles waved his hands again and again, "I won't interrupt your work. Good luck! Good luck!" The first was to Rodrigo, the second to Renly.
Rodrigo took a half step back and sat on the sofa again, "Again, what's your name?"
"Renly."
"So, you're British?" Rodrigo is Spanish, he is not so sensitive to accents, but the London accent is still very distinctive.
Renly sat down across from Rodrigo. "Paul is an American, I guess." Renly switched to a fluent Chicago voice.
Rodrigue couldn't tell the difference between Chicago and New York, but he could hear the difference between British and American. He couldn't help but light up, "What kind of accent is this?" One of the most basic lessons, but Rodrigo has always believed that trying to figure out a really good accent is never easy, "I don't think it should be New York."
"Chicago." Renly replied with a smile, "I can imitate English with a Spanish accent if necessary." This is indeed one of the basic compulsory courses in the college. Renly thought it was very interesting and even went to Cambridge specifically In the linguistics of the university, I found a professor to communicate and study, and I concentrated on trying to figure it out for several months.
Rodrigo couldn't help but pause for a moment, only to feel full of question marks, "Why Chicago?"
"Oh, it's just my own guess." Renly shrugged. In fact, the information left in the union is really limited. There is no direct clue to where Paul's setting is. He watched "Buried Alive" in the last life. , the memory is a little fuzzy, and Renly can't remember whether it was mentioned in the movie, "Construction engineer, Iraqi businessman, middle class, I guess, Paul should be from the central area, and as a gathering place for construction companies, Chicago Undoubtedly the most likely."
After an actor gets the script, preparing a role is a very complicated and tedious process. From accents to clothing, even to hairstyles and tattoos, these details are part of the role, and they are the parts that the audience can't see but feel. This is precisely the part that shows the inner strength of the actor. Of course, if it's just a popcorn movie, or a chick movie, then the preparation mode is naturally different.
Rodrigo's brain seemed to be hit directly by a heavy punch, and he was a little dazed for a while. It was originally just a topic of small talk, but he didn't expect it to involve such a surprising back story, and even his lack of understanding of the script. It has to be said that he has changed somewhat towards Renly.

"Interesting, very interesting." Rodrigo couldn't help but gently closed his jaw, his eyes showed a look of interest, "So, what is your interpretation of the role of Paul? If you haven't noticed, I Mind you, Paul is thirty-five years old, married, has two children, and has a steady job."
Rodrigo deliberately gave Renly a problem, and straight to the point, he moved out a big mountain in front of Renly. He was a little curious how Renly would respond. Before he knew it, Rodrigo himself had not noticed that his thoughts on Renly had quietly begun to change.
Renly spread his legs, put his hands on his knees, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and faced Rodrigo with a golden knife. He was strong in his roughness, and the street atmosphere of a construction contractor came out naturally, "I Personally, I think we should look at the role of Paul in two parts." Or to be more precise, the performance is divided into two levels.
"Buried Alive" is described in the recruitment information left by the Actors Guild of America: An American construction contractor, working in Iraq, was hit by a bomb one day, fell into a coma and lost consciousness, only to find out when he woke up, He was trapped in a coffin and buried alive in the desert. He didn't understand what was going on or what he should do, with only a knife, a cell phone and a lighter beside him.
"First, the normal response in a critical situation." Renly's eyes gradually became focused. He knew how difficult his situation was. He not only had to overcome the shackles of age to get this role, but also beat Ryan Leno. Here, he must go all out. "Any normal person who wakes up and finds himself buried in a coffin, panic, fright, fear, struggle, anger, survival, these emotions are all in common."
Rodrigo raised his right hand and supported his chin, his eyes gradually deepened, savoring Renly's words carefully.
"From the confusion after waking up, to the struggle of survival instinct/ability, to the calmness of seeking opportunities, and finally to the confusion of trapped beasts and struggles, the emotional development curve is undoubtedly the core of the entire script, and it is also the driving force that attracts the audience to continue watching. ." Renly's thinking is very clear, and the words are advanced to express their views, "But as I said, this is the common response of all ordinary people in crisis situations, if only so, 'buried alive' It's just a normal thriller and suspense movie."
Renly and Ryan are different, not only in the way and content of performances, but also in his own understanding of "buried alive", which also means that they have different ways of excavating and expanding their roles. If the audition is successful, he will interpret it in his own way, interpreting his "Buried Alive".
The "Buried Alive" in the last life was actually a normal thriller movie, and Ryan explained all the emotions trapped in the coffin very well. But as Renly said, this is a process and reaction that any ordinary person will experience. Not only does it lack the personal characteristics of "Paul", it also lacks the part of "127 Hours" that shaped the role of Alan; The personal characteristics of "Buried Alive" are reduced to an ordinary work-above the standard, but it is difficult to break out of the siege.
Rodrigo knew that Renly's words were not finished, and there was a "second" behind him, and his brows could not help but wrinkle slightly. So far, the "first" mentioned by Renly has been in line with his expectations and settings, which can basically be said to be his understanding of the work "Buried Alive". But obviously, Renly's opinion is not over, he has developed another level of character and script.
Things were getting more and more interesting, and Rodrigo couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Second, Paul's response to a crisis situation." Renly just paused for a moment, then continued, "Here we can divide the discussion into different parts, for example, Paul's personal attributes, when he encountered a crisis situation, he thought of his family, his wife, whether he was experiencing a mid-life crisis, whether he encountered any difficulties in his work, and how his relationship with other colleagues and friends was. These unique attributes will give Paul a different definition in a situation of extreme crisis, which is also the part that distinguishes Paul from ordinary people."
"For example, Paul's social attributes. How is his relationship with the company? How is his communication with the government/government? In Paul's incident, what are the differences in the performance of the company, government/government, and media? Paul is Does it make a difference whether he is a billionaire or an ordinary contractor? Does it make a difference whether Paul is a man or a woman? Does it make a difference whether Paul is deep in Iraq or deep in America difference?"
Renly's words entangled Rodrigo's brows deeply, his thoughts became more and more chaotic, and a storm broke out in his mind.
"These parts are not only what defines Paul's speciality, but also the key to defining the attributes of the entire movie 'Buried Alive'." Renly made the final conclusion, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, saying confidently and calmly , "So I guess, age is actually the least important part. What do you think?"
