Chapter 594 Headache Problem
Auditions have many, many different ways of expression. In the final analysis, they are just trying to discover a certain trait in the actor, collide with the character, and explore potential possibilities. As for the method, there is no limit. , so there are many possibilities for actors to participate in auditions.
What Anson and Rachel just completed was an impromptu, casual audition full of uncertainty.
To be precise, Anson just extracted some of the characteristics of the character and threw them to Rachel to see what kind of reaction Rachel would give. It was an instinct.
Both Rachel and Anson themselves are not experienced senior actors. Many of their performances are based on their own life experiences, so the sparks produced by their on-the-spot reactions are the most real. .
In fact, the script itself of "Butterfly Effect" is the same. The powerful plot tension swallows up the details of the actors' performances. The emotional display of ups and downs is completely in line with the style of a soap opera. But if the actors really present it in a soap opera way, the movie The texture will become cheap again -
greasy and exaggerated.
So, emotional interpretation and state presentation based on intuitive reactions are the most suitable for the script.
Sometimes, they need to peel themselves off and enter a completely different role; but sometimes, they need to return to their original nature and return to their own role.
Some people think that some directors spend their whole lives shooting the same movie, even if the stories are different and the styles are different, in the end they are repeating themselves.
In fact, many actors are the same and cannot get rid of themselves after all.
So.
Anson did not follow the script. He picked out some plots and fragments and threw them out to test, looking for the emotional memories hidden deep in his soul.
At least, from the current point of view, Rachel has completed a high-scoring answer sheet.
Different from the sweet smile on the outside, Rachel also has her own experiences and stories, which unexpectedly provides another possibility for interpreting Keller.
However, Marcia was not overjoyed. She had her own worries, "...Anson, what are the styles of the two directors?"
Anson didn't understand.
Marcia explained again, "Rachel's performance is not the kind of performance that is naturally revealed. She needs the director's lens to capture and explore."
"In other words, , if the director treats her as a vase, what appears is a vase; if the director treats her as the muse of art, what appears is a goddess.”
Some performances are exposed. It appears naturally in front of the camera.
Some performances are restrained and need to be captured on camera.
So, what are the styles of the two directors?
Anson thought about it carefully. In his previous life, the male protagonist of "Butterfly Effect" was Ashton Kutcher, and the female protagonist was Amy-Smart.
Amy Smart, more active on the small screen, can be seen in "Shameless", "The Wire", "The Anatomy" and other series , strictly speaking, she is more of a TV drama actress than a movie actor.
Before streaming media breaks the shackles of TV and movies in the future, the difference between TV actors and movie actors is still very obvious. The simplest and most intuitive thing is that TV actors tend to exert too much force.
There are two reasons.
First, the director will not calm down and capture the actor's performance carefully like in a movie, so the actor needs to be more direct and more obvious.
Secondly, the focus of the drama is the screenwriting. The tension of the plot and the fate of the characters are the focus, and the actors' performance is a platform for display.
It is precisely because of this that for a long time, there has been an obvious barrier between movies and television. Film actors disdain to appear on television, while television actors dream of appearing on the big screen but have always been unable to do so. As expected, not only the actors' own performance methods, but also the differences in the entire production system make it difficult for actors to adapt to the performance methods of different types of works.
For a long time, Anson himself did not realize this, because he started from scratch and slowly researched and explored, and he did not encounter any obstacles from the television field to the film field, especially "Friends" and "Friends" There are almost no genre barriers between the two works of "Princess Diaries", and the changes in performance methods are not obvious.
But now that Marcia mentions it, there’s brand new content from a professional’s perspective.
Anson remembers a movie called "The Whale," in which Samantha-Morton had an important role. This actor who became famous at a young age has been active in countless movies, such as "Sweet and Lowly", "Go to Heaven", "Minority Report", "Her", etc. She is considered by many to be a talented actor, and has won twice Oscar nomination for acting.
However, she later became mainly active in the field of television and had not appeared in movies for many years. When she appeared on the big screen again in "Whale", her performance seemed exaggerated, stiff, greasy and weird, and The other actors are completely off the same page, which is a disaster.
Such differences, whether acknowledged or not, exist objectively.
In their previous lives, Ashton and Amy also had this problem.
To put it simply, just like the Qiong Yao drama, both actors performed exaggerated and exaggerated performances in the same way as idol dramas, resulting in the performance appearing slightly exaggerated and childish.
Obviously, Eric and McGee, two screenwriter-turned-directors, also face this problem.
As screenwriters, they focus on the plot and are used to using words to show the story, but movies need to use pictures and sounds to show the story, so they don’t know what to do. Naturally, they use screenwriting and TV to show the story. To complete the shooting, it is inevitable for the actors to be exaggerated.
What's more, the two actors, Ashton and Amy, are already accustomed to the performance method of TV series.
Sure enough, Marcia was still professional and grasped the key points immediately.
If Rachel is used to play the heroine Keller, then the interaction between the actor and the director will be a problem, which is something the producer needs to consider.
The point is, Anson has no directing experience, so how should he direct the other two newcomers?
Tom Hanks said that he respects and believes in professionalism, but now it seems that neither the director nor the producer is professional. Who should they believe?
Anson had a headache.
However, a smile appeared on her lips and she lightly shrugged, "It seems that we are in trouble now."
Marcia was choked directly and looked at Anson with a speechless face.
Nicholas sat aside and snickered.
Knock knock.
Just in time, the room door was opened again, and the Chinese takeaway arrived.
Anson made a joke, "Fortunately, I didn't interrupt the audition this time."
Marcia:...
The helplessness reached the extreme, and she couldn't hold it back, and burst into laughter.
Thinking about it, Marcia also found it ridiculous, "It's a problem to work with producers who are too tight and too tough, and it's also a problem to work with producers who are too casual and too free."
Anson looked serious, "Have you ever thought that maybe you yourself are the problem."
Marcia:? ? ?
Anson ignored Marcia and stood up with a calm face, "Lunch, lunch time."
As soon as he turned his head, Marcia saw Nicholas's expression of struggling to hold back his laughter. Nicholas noticed the sight and stretched exaggeratedly, "Eat, eat."
Marcia stared at Nicholas, "Haha, with your acting skills, you should be glad that you are sitting on this side of the table. ”
