Chapter 263 Performance Level
When people watch movies or plays, they often like the "explosion" moment, because it can be seen, because it is revealed.
But real professionals know that those "invisible" parts are the real test of acting skills, because they are concentrated inwards.
A simple and straightforward concept. Audiences often feel shocked and impacted by crying scenes, but the real difficulty is when they want to cry but cannot.
After all, tears may be eye drops, but sadness has no props to disguise it.
The same is true in front of me.
Cliff has been thinking, what is Anson’s struggle?
Having been on the set for half a month, Anson's performance went smoothly without any difficulties. He and Anson filmed several scenes with each other with ease; and the scene being filmed now was not emotionally complicated. Reeve couldn't understand Anson's pressure, and his whole state was slightly stiff.
This is not normal.
Cliff doesn't think Anson is an acting genius - he didn't see it in the previous scenes anyway, but he doesn't think Anson is just a vase either.
Until now.
Some pride and pride, some depression and trouble, and at the same time some impetuousness that I can’t explain, finally evolved into a kind of stubbornness and alienation, subconsciously closing my own world and ignoring others. He rejected all the concerns, which is a typical adolescent boy.
When we are in adolescence, those who are stubborn, rebellious and rampant are often not because of our own nature, but more because of a kind of confusion——
From children to adults, Not only do they need to face the physiological effects of hormones, but the way they view the world, life, and others has also undergone tremendous changes. For teenagers, their brains begin to become impetuous, with lots of question marks popping up, and they need to re-understand the world.
In other words, they need guidance and help.
The problem is that they don’t know how to express it. The problem is clearly in their mind, but they can’t find a way to express it. That kind of frustration and depression can easily turn into a kind of anger, confused anger, powerless anger, confused anger, and even... There is the anger of refusing to admit that you know nothing.
So, they chose to close the door to the atrium.
If you can get the correct guidance from your parents, friends, and teachers at this time, things will be completely different.
And Peter Parker is even more special.
He had an additional superpower in his adolescence. On the one hand, he was eager to test his superpower, just like a child who got a new toy; on the other hand, he was uneasy about the changes in life and had previously suppressed emotions. Everything begins to stir up, including a crush on Mary Jane and anger at the bully.
This conflicting emotion was tugging at Peter's mind.
Imagine that Peter's world is being turned upside down. There are too many things happening at the same time, and naturally he has no energy to pay attention to other people.
Also includes uncle’s nagging.
At this moment, Anson showed such stubbornness and alienation——
Just from the expression, it is naturally impossible to interpret those complex emotions, and Anson’s eyes are not prompters. machine display; but Anson was right and just right.
The wandering eyes, the subtlety of expressions, and the resistance of the body.
It’s just a state, but it leaves room for interpretation. The audience who already knew the truth can understand it, and Uncle Ben who doesn’t know why can also detect it.
Ingenious. fine.
So, is this the state Anson has been trying to find?
Unknowingly, Cliff was also involved in the role, looking at Anson like Uncle Ben. The boundary between the inside and outside of the play was broken, which was a little unexpected, but also a little gratifying, and at the same time Some helplessness——
Helpless because he and Uncle Ben were once again rejected by the stubbornness of adolescence.
He has experienced it, experienced it, and witnessed it.
Involuntarily, he was stunned.
Deeply, deeply into a sense of powerlessness.
He didn't speak immediately, but it wasn't because he forgot his lines or because he was mentally running away, but because he truly felt the powerlessness of trying to help Peter but being unable to do so.
Quietly, he was not in a hurry, but allowed the brief silence to spread in the car. In just such a short moment, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed a little older, and when he spoke again, his voice became lower.
A touch of sadness and helplessness linger on the tip of the tongue.
Exhaling gently, Uncle Ben spoke again, speaking with sincerity.
"Peter, your changes in the past few years will determine what kind of person you are in the future, be careful not to go astray."
The vicissitudes of life are revealed inadvertently, with a little fatigue, and the existence of annual rings can be vaguely detected.
Huh.
Behind the monitor, he let out a breath and relaxed his tense emotions.
Sam is an exception.
Sam stared at the monitor screen intently. He noticed Cliff's pause, and more importantly, he noticed Cliff's gaze falling on Anson.
On the screen, Anson's clear blue eyes showed a bit of confusion and struggle. His first reaction was to turn his head and look out the window, avoiding sight.
However, I looked back immediately and found that although I was still stubborn and alienated, my irritability was slowly calming down.
In the final analysis, Peter Parker is still a shy and kind-hearted child.
Peter glanced at his uncle, hesitated to speak, and then lowered his eyes, seeming to be in a trance, his vision lost focus, staring at the car radio in a daze -
A typical adolescent child, even if He didn't talk back and resist, and he still kept distance in his own way. No one could shake the stubbornness in his heart.
Uncle Ben noticed, and his tone softened, "The person who fought with you, Lightning Thompson, maybe he deserves the retribution he deserves."
"But."
"Don't Because you can beat him, you think you have the right to beat him."
Peter was stunned.
Although Peter did not raise his head or look at Uncle Ben, he became quiet——
His eyes, his head, his shoulders, all small movements pressed the pause button and stood frozen in place.
In this scene, Anson did not choose to look up at Cliff, did not choose a "revealing" performance, did not show shock through his eyes, nor showed contemplation through his expression, because these emotions seemed too strong It's too direct and too superficial, just like the way idol movies are expressed.
Instead, Anson chose to avoid looking and used body language to show the detailed changes in psychology.
On the one hand, he heard, really heard Uncle Ben's teachings.
On the one hand, he refused to admit that the teenager's self-esteem and pride refused to admit his own mistakes, refused to admit that his parents were right, and refused to admit that he was obedient.
Between the stubbornness of adolescence and the kindness of his nature, he was frozen in place -
Not straightforward, not superficial, but showing the layers of the character.
And, 100% true.
Many times, it doesn’t have to be “seen” to mean a successful performance. Observing, feeling and immersing is the most wonderful thing about movies.
And Anson just completed a stunning performance.
There was a trace of satisfaction in Sam Remy's eyes. The noise and bustle around him all settled down. He held his breath unconsciously and was completely immersed in the screen.
This is the charm of performance.
