The atmosphere of the entire crew is a bit solemn, even today, even if Renly and Seth are really standing in the bathroom and beginning to listen to the explanation of the drama, even if the camera crew and lighting crew have been busy for nearly two hours, do After various tests... But everyone still couldn't believe it.

All this actually happened.

The Oscar nominee, absent from the awards ceremony, stayed in Seattle, filming the shaved head scene; entering the scene too deep, both physical and mental conditions fell into the bottom, and the media tit-for-tat the upper hand in the tit-for-tat, even triggered dramatic plot development; Lan Li-Hall, only 21 years old, comedy work.

Putting these factors together, any two pieces together are magical enough, but now, all the factors are piled up together and detonated at the same time. Even the unthinkable is not enough to describe the inner shock, which makes people can't help but Reminiscent of "Pan's Labyrinth".

Especially after experiencing the violent bombardment of the stormy sea, imagine that today is the day of the Oscars. The world's eyes are focused on the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, but they are in a cramped bathroom, ready to witness Lan Li shaved all his hair.

This is really unsettling.

The crew of the crew could not help but exchange their sights with each other, and their eyes seemed to have a suspicious look, "Is this true?" However, seeing Lan Li who was concentrating on communicating with the drama, everyone knew that all this was. It's so real, it's really trembling.

"Len Li, are you sure you don't need to think about it again?" Jonathan Levine felt a little softened inexplicably, and he still asked about the end of his hesitation.

His eyes fell on Lan Li's short, slightly curly golden brown hair, elegant and unruly, thick and lush, inadvertently drawing the lines of his face. But then, these hairs will be shaved and disappear completely.

Lan Li glanced up slightly and glanced at Jonathan, "Then what if I regret it?"

Jonathan choked involuntarily. Seth, who was standing next to him, also had a horrified expression. This made the corners of Lan Li's mouth twitched and revealed a playful smile, "You should finish this scene quickly before I regret it. "The shooting." Lan Li knew that he would not regret it, he was not nervous at all now, "has the camera position been set? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I did the experiment just now." Jonathan nodded and let out a long sigh of nervousness.

Because there is only one shooting opportunity in this scene, there is no room for error, and there is no possibility of repeating it, so in the past two hours, they have conducted multiple tests to ensure that they can achieve the director’s shooting effect, but they will not be on the camera. The location of the camera is exposed inside, and it can also meet the needs of different angles. Simply put, their fault tolerance space is zero.

Once wrong. Then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jonathan turned his head to look at Seth, casting a questioning look. Seth shrugged, "Believe me, I don't need to do any psychological preparation." Although this is a moment he and Will have experienced, now he sees Lan Lilai repeat it, and there is also the influence of reality. , Seth felt that his shock would not diminish at all. He only needs to perform in his true colors and follow the rhythm of Lan Li's performance.

As for Lan Li.

Jonathan and Seth both looked over, and then neither of them spoke. Because they know that Renly is trustworthy, they don't need to worry at all.

"Len Li, you're ready, just give me a signal." After speaking, Jonathan turned around and returned to the back of the monitor. The official shooting of this scene entered the countdown.

Lan Li stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself quietly, her brows couldn't help but she said in confusion, "I look really messed up right now, don't you? You said, people who just took over three chemotherapy will be in such a bad state. Is this a bit too exaggerated? Or does it prove that my body is too weak? I need to start going to the gym?"

Seth stood beside him, stunned, not only because Lan Li was talking seriously with him, as Adam; but also because Lan Li was talking about performances, not because he was worried about his health, but because he was worried about his condition. Acting reality.

Seth's eyes widened, "No one cares. This movie is just a bunch of dog/shit. Even if it is worth eight million, it is still not that important. Lan Li-Hell-Hall, Don't make me feel more weird."

"A dog/shit worth eight million." Lan Li didn't say much, just pursed the corner of his mouth, nodded meaningfully, but the meaning of the mockery was self-evident, making Seth roll his eyes.

Lan Li looked in the mirror again. The most important thing in this scene was the sense of humor. Although the laughter of "anti-cancer me" is basically on Seth, and most of them are brewed by lines, the rhythm of the performance is very special, which is obviously different from the drama.

For theater actors with a formal education background, comedy performances are not so special.

In the drama industry, Shakespeare’s four major comedies are undoubtedly the most widely known, including "Everybody's Joy", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Merchant of Venice" and "Twelve Nights", but they are classified as comedies. It's not because of how humorous or funny, but because the theme and writing contain pure happiness, and the joy of joy makes people rejoice.

Therefore, in the process of stage drama performance, the performance framework of comedy and tragedy is actually the same. The difference is that comedy requires actors to use more details such as body language and voice intonation to complete the rendering of the cheerful atmosphere. But as for the performance itself, the actors do not need to make too many adjustments.

Relatively speaking, Italian comedy is the most special. Generally speaking, it is recognized that Italian comedy is the most profound, strongest, and quality. In Italian comedy works, scripts and characters are often endowed with exaggerated, funny and absurd temperament, which gives actors more room to play and forms their own unique performance style, which is very different from tragedy.

However, this kind of performance is very special, only suitable for stage, put it on a movie or TV screen, it will appear too deliberate and impetuous.

The way of comedy performance on the theater stage seems out of place for movies. Strictly speaking, comedy performance is not about control or release, but about interpretation, interpreting the humorous temperament, but everyone interprets humor in different ways.

Now, the reference object Lan Li imagined in his mind is the black humor of the "Saturday Night Live" style.

Leaving aside the jokes of imitation, weirdness, and makeup, what "Saturday Night Live" is best at is actually a serious cold humor. The irony, ridicule, and ridicule revealed between the lines create a huge gap in the jokes. . This is actually somewhat similar to the style of British comedy movies, except that the UK is sharper, more remote, and blacker.

This kind of performance has strict requirements for such small details as expressions, intonations, and eyes. It seems to be serious, but the details are absurd and unrestrained, and the involuntary sense of gap can often bring unexpected smiles.

It's not Charlie Chaplin's use of rich body language to make jokes, nor is it Jin Carey's use of exaggerated facial expressions to make jokes. It is more an inward expression, which not only requires the audience to calm down. A detailed experience, but also requires the performer to have enough talent.

Especially the latter. People who lack such talents often appear jerky and embarrassing to perform this kind of humor. It is incompatible with the style of the script and the characteristics of the movie. It is like a dog skin plaster, which is especially dazzling. But it can't be torn off, which makes it unable to meet the specifications of comedy.

The 2007 Wes-Anderson work "Crossing Darjeeling", and the British film "The Smart Men" released in 2009, both of these works gave Lan Li's performance a lot of inspiration, including the rhythm, tone, and tone of the lines. Tones and other details.

He needs to settle down well.

The lines, flow, camera position, dialogue, style, etc. of the next whole show were passed through in his mind. This allowed him to have an overall structure for his performance rhythm and style, and at the same time clarify the whole scene. The development direction of the play to ensure that it can be passed at one time.

But in the eyes of the rest of the crew, it means something else: He must be preparing for a shaved head, this is a shaved head! Don't talk about actors, even ordinary people need great courage! How could it be that simple!

Seth stood by, looking at the motionless Lan Li. There was no sound. He became more nervous and his head was full of random thoughts. For a while, he thought of the grand occasion of the Kodak Theater at this time, and for a while, he thought of the reporters chasing and blocking him. I think of Lan Li's bald head, and then think of the trend of awards at the awards ceremony...

Turning his head, Seth and Will exchanged a glance, and said with his mouth, "Are we crazy?"

Why did they think of this idea in the first place? I thought it was good before ~www.novelhall.com~ but now it feels terrible. But what happened to the blue gift who agreed to this bad attention?

Without waiting for Will to respond, Lan Li's voice came over. "Okay. I'm ready."

In the whole scene, Lan Li should have been the least burdensome person, but he calmed down completely and declared cleanly.

They have been preparing for this scene over and over for several days, hoping to complete it smoothly without any mistakes. Every line and every detail are in their minds, like a mirror. Now, all he needs to do is to substitute it and get rid of all distractions.

Hearing Lan Li’s words, Jonathan felt that his palms were a little slippery, and his breathing stopped for a moment. He was even more nervous than the person involved, but he took two deep breaths and nodded towards Chang Ji who was standing by. , And then let out a long sigh, waited for the end of the scoreboard, and said, "Start shooting!"

Extending the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. Clenching your teeth and starting straightforwardly, this is the right answer.

However, in case the performance is interrupted. This……
