Chapter 612 Clearing the Fog
A little, then a little, Scarlett’s dull and depressed mood brightened; but the problem that troubled her was still not solved, the difference was:
She thought, maybe Anson does have the answer to the question.
Lowering her head, Scarlett looked at Anson again, "How on earth did you do that? I mean, even if it is nonsense, it cannot be nonsense."
"Imagination." Anson pointed to his head.
Scarlett didn't believe it, "Please, I'm not a screenwriter. If I had such a rich imagination, I would have sat in front of the typewriter and recorded it."
Anson laughed heartily, "I said that It's the truth."
Scarlett blinked, noticing the sincerity in Anson's eyes, and fell into deep thought again.
Anson continued to explain, "The imagination mentioned here is to construct a character based on one's own understanding of the character and the story. As mentioned before, no matter how ordinary, boring or mediocre a person is, there are His life. What he has experienced is the key to shaping his character. "What kind of character will he do, what kind of experience will leave his traces." , every reaction that appears naturally on the camera can also fall on the ground.”
"Actually, the characters who appear in movies or TV are often not ordinary people, even in supporting roles. This is because the screenwriters try to extract some drama or uniqueness when creating the characters."
"Some kind of To a certain extent, the screenwriter has secretly left creative space for the actors.”
“I think this is a tacit consensus between good screenwriters and good actors that does not need to be said, although it is not always the case. So."
Scarlett seemed to understand a little, but didn't seem to fully understand, "So, what is the difference between screenwriters and actors?"
Scarlett said it immediately. Realizing that her description of the problem was not clear enough and complete, what she wanted to say was, what is the difference between a screenwriter shaping a character and an actor shaping a character, if both people are trying to tell a story?
But no explanation is needed, Anson already understands it.
“The focus. Or the starting point.”
“The screenwriter’s starting point is the story, and the character should serve the entire story.”
“The actor’s starting point is the role. The story is the result of the character's actions. "
"From another perspective, the screenwriter sees the overall situation, while the actor sees the partial aspect. This difference determines the difference between the two. Very far apart.”
"So, the screenwriter creates the story and creates the character, while the actor injects flesh and soul into the character."
"Analyzing the character, constructing the character, and telling the story are one thing but completely different things. Things. Actors rely on daily observation, daily accumulation, and rich imagination."
The last one is performance and interpretation.
But this was not what they were discussing now, so Anson did not speak.
Because of this, some actors delve into their characters and build up the character's life bit by bit in the form of diaries or autobiographies to create a sense of reality; or they experience the character's life personally and use their bodies to feel, Use your five senses to experience it, let the details fill in the fiction bit by bit, and finally land on the ground, giving the character a down-to-earth sense of reality.
Everything is based on this principle.
Of course, this is just talk on paper, and Anson himself has not yet reached this level:
First of all, I have not encountered such a character, and I need to dig deeper, build a history, and establish layers, even if The "cat and mouse game" doesn't count either.
Secondly, his performance ability has not reached such a level. If he really wants to move from theory to practice, Anson probably needs to explore it carefully.
However, even so, a kind of discussion, exploration and sharing still benefited a lot. Not only Scarlett fell into the ocean of thoughts, but Anson himself couldn't help but chew it carefully and put his own Throw your understanding and gains to your colleagues, and wait for feedback to explore and think about your own performance.
Scarlett thought deeply for a moment, turned her head slightly and looked at Anson, trying to say something. The words were already on her lips, but she couldn't help but swallow them again. Then she looked up at the woman in a white shirt across the road. Everything, just as Anson said -
After calming down, you can find that there are logical loopholes behind Anson's words just now. Things are not perfect and self-consistent. At this time, looking back, you can It was confirmed that Anson should not know that woman.
However, the head is filled with rich and real details, which are still lifelike even after calming down, and it is easy to depict the image of that woman.
Awesome, it is indeed awesome. No wonder Anson has received so much praise from the industry. Forget about Sam Raimi, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are not new to the world. Country bumpkin.
However, these are not important now, which makes Scarlett think about a question:
What is reality?
Is fictional reality also a kind of reality? At least in movies, the actor completes the shaping of the character with his own understanding and structure. The actor's understanding may be different from the director, screenwriter, and producer, but as long as the details are enough, the actor can complete his unique interpretation of the character. Shape and interpret.
This is the charm of performance.
When my thoughts reached this point, the world suddenly became brighter.
Although Scarlett's questions still have not been answered, she has found the direction. She knows that the next thing is her task -
She is full of confidence.
After the brief trough and confusion, Scarlett was actually a little excited and excited, gearing up to perform in front of the camera again.
She knows her strengths and weaknesses, as well as her goals and dreams.
Now, she can’t wait to return to her battlefield.
Looking up, Scarlett looked at Anson.
That face is not unfamiliar. To be precise, it is more than unfamiliar. From summer to autumn, Anson has become the top spot in the new generation, and the heated discussion cannot stop at all; however, this Looking at Anson again at this moment, Scarlett felt strange, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
On the show. to the movie. to the role. To the character's psychology.
Obviously, Anson has his own ideas, and they are not random rubbish ideas. If you think Anson is a vase because of his skin, then he may end up becoming a joke.
Scarlett couldn't help but think of the first time the two met.
It was a small accident, but Anson has already shown her ability to tell lies with open eyes, helping her find a short breathing space in the boring and cumbersome daily life.
Thinking about it this way, the Anson in front of me doesn’t seem so strange anymore.
Perhaps, from beginning to end, Anson was Anson, and it was herself who was trapped and deceived, so she didn't see it clearly.
However, every time I meet Anson, there seems to be unexpected gains. Under the seemingly same skin, different colors can always be unearthed.
Then.
Anson raised his eyes, and the two people's eyes collided in the air inadvertently. Scarlett's thoughts were surging in her mind. She was caught on the spot and shifted her gaze in a panic. Her ears caught the laughter deep in Anson's throat. Realizing that his actions were trying to conceal his identity, he couldn't help but look over again and looked into Anson's eyes calmly.
Clear and bright, as if she could see through her disguise.
