Chapter 265 Inspiration
Light, yet rich.
Delicate and complex.
Simple and three-dimensional.
The excitement of this scene was completely unexpected.
Strictly speaking, it is not "completely" because the crew all know the importance of this scene. In action movies, action and special effects scenes determine the lower limit of the work, while literary drama determines the upper limit of the work. This scene is in "Spider-Man" Everyone remains tense as they play a vital role.
The filming itself was not very difficult, and all the weight fell on the two actors.
However, the point is that this is a commercial movie, and the performance does not need to be too complicated. If you focus too much on the performance and try to dig out the depth, it may not only destroy the rhythm of the movie, but also be incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the movie. The actors How to exercise discretion is particularly important -
Especially Anson.
Leaving aside the stereotype of a vase for the time being, this is the first time in Anson's career that he has been the protagonist in a movie. The protagonist and the supporting role are absolutely different. Standing under the spotlight, whether Anson can show the charm of the character.
result?
What surprised me was not the brilliance of the scene, but the brilliance of the performance.
Anson really completed a wonderful performance.
Logically speaking, the focus of this scene should fall on Uncle Ben, because he will say the classic line; but Anson expanded the interpretation of the entire scene with a layered and vivid performance space.
No one thought that the real magic touch was the silences without lines, the confrontation in the silence, the struggle and hesitation shown by the body language, which overflowed with emotions and revealed the beauty of blank space.
and!
The most worthy thing to savor is the blank space left after Peter got off the car.
His hesitation, his pulling, his contradictions, his stubbornness, etc., fully demonstrate the confusion of adolescence and pave the way for the subsequent plot -
It is precisely because of consciousness I realized that my stubbornness and blindness made mistakes, and it was precisely because I realized that my rebellion in adolescence led to disaster, that I grew up overnight.
Standing behind the monitor, watching the figure standing in front of the traffic repeatedly, the hearts of the audience could not help but beat high, because they knew what happened next, and they hoped more than ever Change history and hope Peter catches up to Uncle Ben's car to apologize.
This series of actions immediately enriches the context of the plot.
Obviously, Anson not only understood the characters, but also completely understood the plot. In a limited space, he used the characters' actions to show their psychology, and then completed the foreshadowing quietly, making the characters and plot full.
No wonder!
No wonder this scene went NG several times in a row, including the one where Cliff NGed because Anson’s performance didn’t feel right, which affected the opposite actor.
Now, the answer is finally revealed——
I see.
Anson is thinking about how to make a scene like this. If it is overacted, it will appear cumbersome, adding unnecessary drama and ruining the perception; if it is underacted, there will be no level, and the idolized performance will be superficial and completely waste the scene. Interpretation space, proportion and scale are particularly important.
Obviously, Anson knows what he is doing and how he should do it, but he needs some time, so he keeps adjusting.
On the one hand, the youthfulness of the new actors is fully revealed.
On the other hand, looking at it from another perspective, the new actors have such interpretation and interpretation skills. There is no other explanation except talent.
Involuntarily, it makes people look forward to it.
Give Anson enough time and space to grow slowly, to what height will he grow? What kind of actor will he transform into in the end?
In a daze, people temporarily forgot about that handsome face.
This is indeed a surprise.
"Stuck!" In an instant, everyone was breathing heavily, exchanging glances excitedly and excitedly, and then it took a moment to realize that their palms were sweating crazily, and they were even more nervous than Anson. Involuntarily, all eyes were focused on Sam.
Including James Franco and Kristen Dunst.
James has always had a question, why was Anson able to beat him to win the role of Peter Parker?
It’s not to look down on Anson or slander Anson, it’s just a sense of confidence.
James still believes that he is the most suitable actor for Peter Parker. Even if it is not Anson, James will still have the same confusion if any other actor wins the role.
Today, James' question finally has an answer.
This one is light and just right. Obviously, Anson is more than just a skin.
Confidence is self-confidence, but James does not think he can complete such a performance now. Confidence does not mean stupidity; however, it does not matter. If it cannot be completed now, it does not mean that it cannot be completed in the future. James believes that he can also Shine on the big screen.
So, here comes the question:
How should he explore the character in "Spider-Man"?
On the side, Kristen was also flooded with thoughts.
Unlike James, Kristen believes that Anson has such abilities. She has watched Anson's performance in "Friends" and she knows that this actor is more than just a skin. This is why she is willing to work for "Spider-Man" The reason for the audition, and sure enough, Anson did not disappoint her.
Now, Kristen is thinking about how the scene between her and Anson should unfold?
How did Mary Jane "see" Peter Parker?
Obviously they were next-door neighbors but never noticed, and later fell deeply in love; moreover, Mary Jane fell in love not with Spider-Man, but with Peter Parker.
As an actor, she needs to show such changes so that the story and plot can become complete. Otherwise, Mary Jane will be no different from the vase in other commercial movies, and the growth story of "Spider-Man" will lack a crucial part. Ring, after all, is the same Mary-Jane and Uncle Ben character who team up to facilitate Peter Parker's transformation.
Looking at Anson's performance in front of her, Kristen also began to think, and inspiration burst out.
Both James and Kristen, they needed guidance and confirmation. Like the crew, they all looked at the director——
Sam Raimi, without even realizing it.
His face was serious, with no expression at all, and he still looked like the sloth lightning emoticon.
One second he yelled "Card", and the next second he ignored everyone's attention, looked at the monitor again, played it back again, and entered the world of Spider-Man.
To be more precise, enter the story of Peter Parker.
Sam has not forgotten his original intention. He is not preparing to shoot the story of Spider-Man, but the story of Peter Parker.
There is an essential difference between the two. The former is a superhero movie, while the latter is a youth growth movie.
This is also the reason why Sam chose Anson. He believes that Anson can bring a different temperament to Peter Parker——
Sure enough, he was right.
Quietly and attentively, Sam looked back at it again. His eyes like an eagle's eyes could not find anyone who was not awake again. He inadvertently showed a touch of satisfaction. The emotional context and dramatic tension of this scene. , perfectly fits my own conception of the movie, and even goes a step further to show off the layers.
He really couldn't ask for more.
Cowing his head gently, he raised his right hand.
"OK".
Sam made a gesture——
Wow!
The whole audience cheered.
