When people mention Spain, they always think of words such as passion, sunshine, olive oil, matador, flamenco and carnival. It seems that they are enjoying the comfort and beauty of vacation every day; It is also known as the pearl of the Iberian Peninsula, attracting attention from all over the world.
In addition to sunny beaches and seductive beauties, the city has world-renowned football clubs, mesmerizing Mediterranean beach views, and the most whimsical Gaudi in the history of architecture, the "100-year-old unfinished building" "The Sagrada Familia remains one of the most famous architectural wonders in the world.
Compared with the Ramblas, which is full of tourists, Renly has always had a soft spot for the Gothic Quarter, which was originally an ancient Roman fortress village, named after the many ancient Gothic buildings built. Walking in this area, every building seems to be telling its story, every street seems to be carved with traces of historical wind and frost, and the fingertips seem to touch the beating heart of the city.
Everyone can find their own way to feel Barcelona and find a reason to stay.
Night fell slowly, and the heat of midsummer remained in the air for a long time and did not dissipate, but the time for people had just begun. Department stores, clothing stores, etc. have closed, but the crowds on the streets are gradually increasing. The taverns and cafes are very lively, and even the Plaza Catalunya is full of people, laughter and laughter in the streets. The alley was moving, as if the city had finally woken up after a long day of slumber.
Someone once joked that the day in Spain starts at nine o'clock in the evening. Renly agreed.
"The daytime belongs to the tourists, and the night belongs to the Spaniards, right?" Renly looked at the liveliness of the small street in front of him, picked up the sangria in his hand, and tasted the immersion in the sweet and sour. Fun with alcohol.
However, in the alley that allows one car to pass, there are more than a dozen bars, and each bar is full of guests at this time, even the steps at the door are no exception, and some people simply hold a bottle of beer, and Friends stood in front of the store chatting happily, as if they didn't care if they could find a place to stay.
The stars in the sky are reflected in the halo of brilliant and hazy street lights, and the tide is surging.
Rodrigo looked at Renly in front of him, the tapas in his hand could not be put into his mouth for a long time, he hesitated, and finally put it back on the plate, "Yeah, the Spaniards always like night, mysterious but mysterious. Without losing the heat, people can't help but want to take off the mask and reveal their original appearance."
"That's why Spanish beauties are always unique." The smile in Renly's eyes slowly fell on the light arc of the corner of his mouth, and his cheeks were covered with a layer of alcohol red, adding a touch of laziness.
Rodrigo opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened his mouth again, but closed it again. After repeating this a few times, he still couldn't hold back, "Renly, are you serious?"
"About what?" Renly raised his eyes and asked with a smile, "About the beauty? Of course, I couldn't be more serious."
Rodrigo couldn't change it in one breath, "I mean, you are going to lie in the coffin all day, are you serious?"
Just now, Renly asked Rodrigo seriously about how he found the funeral home in Barcelona. He said that before the official shooting of "Buried Alive", he needed to do some fieldwork and planned to discuss with the funeral home to have him in a crucified funeral home. Lie in a coffin overnight. Rodrigo didn't feel it at first, but the more he heard it, the more horrified he became. He only felt that his jaw was about to dislocate, but as the client, Renly was talking about the night in Spain! Rodrigo felt a little breathless.
"Of course." Renly replied lightly, "If I'm still in New York, I'd rather go to the cemetery for a night, you know, bury the coffin in the ground, cover it with a thin layer of soil, On the first floor, no one wants to be suffocated, right?" Renly chuckled to himself, "However, I'm in Barcelona now, my Spanish is only average, and I don't want accidents. So, the cemetery is fine. "
Rodrigo looked at Renly's choked expression, and couldn't help tugging at his neckline, only to find that he was wearing a crew-neck T-shirt tonight and didn't strangle his neck at all, but why did he feel that his head was starting to lack oxygen
"Renly, are you sure?" Rodrigo's brain was messed up, he knew Renly was a good actor, that's why he gave up Ryan Reynolds, but... but he didn't expect Renly was so bold, even crazy.
Renly put the sangria in his hands and asked in a playful tone, "Rodrigo, have you ever had the experience of walking into a narrow space and feeling breathless, like an elevator, for example. , or the bathroom. You know this is a non-hazardous place, but deep down you are screaming and screaming desperately to escape?"
Rodrigo felt his mouth dry, Renly's lips stained with red wine shone with a coquettish red luster, as if a vampire had just finished his meal. The dangerous dark atmosphere made him swallow a mouthful of saliva, his heart racing fast. The ground jumped up, hitting the eardrum hard, and thumping. "..." He had no way to answer, he could only shake his head in denial.
"Neither do I." Renly's lips curved into an elegant arc, "Look, when we talk about military affairs, we can understand this phenomenon, which is called claustrophobia. From a psychological point of view, it seems that all the reasons It's right. But when it comes to this kind of fear, all theories don't work because the person has no way of controlling himself. The same is true for Paul in Buried Alive."
As analyzed by Renly, Paul's role is divided into two levels. If it's just up to Ryan's standards, Renly can put in the show now, and he has absolute confidence that he can do better than Ryan; but if he wants to further enhance the quality of the performance, he has to feel that Despair, the feeling of death's hands slowly tightening on his throat, the feeling of being trapped in a square inch no matter how hard he struggles.
In fact, it is difficult to express this kind of subtle distinction in simple language. Even professional film critics and acting teachers may not be able to express it in words. , the viewing experience brought to the audience is completely different, it can even be said to be worlds apart.
Expressionism and Methodism actually represent people's two understandings of performance. The former represents the traditional academy's point of view. They firmly believe that the so-called actors must be able to perform different roles. With different roles and different connotations, the boundaries between reality and drama are distinct. They can enter and play at any time. Performance and personal life are two independent parts. Performance is a skill that is constantly tempered, and the real power should be "one person with thousands of faces".
The latter represents the new trend of the new era. They believe that to play a role is to integrate into it, blur the boundaries between reality and drama, or even go crazy, give up all technical constraints, and really let the power of the soul burst out the true meaning of performance. . Generally speaking, as long as an actor plays a role well, this is success. It is very likely that once he enters the play, he will never be able to play again. After a peak, there will be no more wonderful performances, but this does not matter, because he gives Take the life of that character, even if it is the only one.
Renly is now trying to combine the two performances, taking the Expressionists a little off track and adding more punch, while at the same time imposing some restraints on the Methodists, making sure that the emotional expressions can accurately delineate the characters.
Renly is not the first to try such an attempt. Al-Pao also began to try after the end of his acting career. However, the effect is unsatisfactory, because the core idea of the two performance methods is that Contradictory, one is about control, the other is about getting out of control, the other is about sobriety and the other is about getting lost. Even Al's performance was unsatisfactory, and the way he was stagnant and restrained made him lose his previous sharpness and texture, which was disappointing.
In addition to Al, there are many actors who have tried, hoping that they can break the shackles and become the first person to make history, but unfortunately, until the rebirth of Renly, this is still a theoretical perfection .
"Sword Comes"
Renly is not a genius, and making history is too far away. He is not even sure whether his acting talent really exists. He just wants to explore a style of his own on the road of acting.
During the "Pacific War", he mostly performed with expressive acting skills. There was only one scene, that is, in the ninth episode, when he witnessed the cry of a baby and hugged the death of a woman, he really felt for the first time. Jin's inner struggle, pain, confusion and grief were the collapse of his beliefs. The heart has been shattered, but the outside is calm as water.
If he had the chance, he was very willing to talk to the real Eugene Sledge, and he was more curious about how Eugene came out of this later, how to return to the normal track of life, or whether Eugene never really Come out too.
In that scene, the combination of Expressionism and Methodism was very vague, as if a flash of inspiration was fleeting. The only thing that is certain is that Renly did feel the difference in performance, and the balance between out of control and control is real. So, this also strengthened his determination to keep trying!
"Buried alive" is such an opportunity; to truly appreciate the emotion of Paul's impending burial is the first step.
Rodrigo felt like his brain was a little overwhelmed, "Renly, I know you want to put on a great show, and that's what I want. But... but it's just a movie for less than three million dollars, you It's only $100,000, God, it's not worth that much."
Renly laughed heartily, "Man, so, are you implying you're giving me a raise?"
