Chapter 794 Cutting into details
In a love movie, it would be unbalanced to only show the emotional context and state changes of one party. After all, an emotional relationship requires the cooperation of two people to create sparks. Otherwise, it is unrequited love or secret love.
What's more, the narrative focus of "Warmth and Light Within" is originally on Joel.
So.
Anson believes that Joel, like Clementine, can feel subtle changes at different times.
Of course, in terms of personality, Clementine is changeable. Her mood changes like the weather in London. She can experience different changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day, so Clementine's changes are vivid and colorful; but Joel is not. Joel is conservative, rigid and unchangeable. If Joel changes significantly, it will not fit the character.
Anson also knows this.
Changes should be more at the level of details——
In this way, the movie can still guarantee the "brain-burning" option, because when the audience watches it for the first time, they often focus on The most important thing is the story itself. If you don’t pay attention to these details, the timeline will be easily confused. You can only calm down, concentrate on the story, and discover these objective but not obvious details, like a puzzle, to piece together the complete picture of the story.
This is a problem.
Secondly, Anson noticed a detail, Kate's hairstyle.
Different from Clementine’s distinctive hair color in the previous life, Kate’s hairstyle shows off her rebellion and individuality, but it does not easily help the audience to identify the character.
Judging from Kate’s performance so far, can Anson understand that:
Because Charlie has not completed the creation of the script for the time being, Charlie has not organized his thoughts clearly, and the script has not been able to give stylists and hairstylists More instructions; Kate also failed to fully understand the character, relying on her own intuition and perception and was in the exploratory stage, so the styling was naturally not clear enough.
Now, Kate has given Anson an inspiration——
Maybe both problems can be solved together.
Anson looked at Kate, "Have you seen 'The Devil'?"
"The Devil", directed by David-Cronenberg, directed by Jeremy- Starring Jermey-Irons.
The movie was released in 1988. The camera focuses on a pair of twin brothers. Although they are two independent individuals, they remain one in spirit.
Until they met a female movie star, they both had a marriage with her, and the younger brother fell deeply in love with her. This led to the separation of the twins from the body to the soul level, but both began to Weakened and withered; finally they found each other again and were reborn amidst destruction.
In this work, Jeremy Irons plays two roles, playing the role of twin brothers.
In order for the audience to distinguish the two brothers, the stylists and hairstylists spent a lot of effort to highlight their different character charms in the same suits; and then through Jeremy's superb, delicate and rich performance, the two brothers were established. Completely different characters bring a new experience to the audience.
After the movie was released, a friend of David Cronenberg asked him, "Oh, Jeremy Irons's performance is wonderful, where did you find the other actor? ”
This is the best affirmation for Jeremy.
In the movie, the elder brother’s suit is often clean and tidy, with more cool colors and no unnecessary decoration. It is also paired with a standard three-piece suit on formal occasions; the younger brother’s suit is often paired with a sweater. The cold tones are slightly closer to the warm tones, and all details such as ties, cufflinks and so on are removed to highlight the nerdy characteristics.
The same traditional suit that has continued stereotypes for many years can also show completely different colors.
As soon as Anson said this, a picture immediately appeared in Kate's mind.
Then.
Kate looked at Anson, "You mean, you are going to use the changes in suit styling to locate Joel's changes in different periods."
Anson nodded, "I still need to work with the styling. The teacher will discuss it in depth, but I think ties and sweaters are a good entry point, including color, style, matching, etc. ”
These details may seem inconspicuous, but they always exist objectively.
“Interesting.” Kate pursed her lips and showed a hint of admiration in her eyes. “Since you positioned yourself through the details of the clothing, I can’t repeat it. Otherwise, the audience will have visual fatigue and it will be difficult to understand the character. "It's better to..."
Pause slightly.
“Hair color, what do you think?”
Kate didn't need Anson's guidance, Kate already had the inspiration herself.
“You see, Clementine has a free-spirited soul and her hair color is her mood.”
“Did you know? According to statistics, more than 60% of women I will choose to change my hairstyle when I want to change my mood, and feel the change in my mood by how much it changes.”
“If it’s just trimming the ends of the hair and trimming the bangs, it’s a daily mood change; if it changes. Color, that is, the desire to find some changes; if you simply change the entire hairstyle, from long hair to short hair, or short hair to short hair, you know, it may be that your life has experienced a huge change. "
This is indeed true. A fresh piece of information.
Anson couldn't help but wonder, "What about those who own hundreds of wigs?"
Kate smiled, "Then she is trying to hide her true emotions and doesn't want others to see her vulnerability and helplessness. Help."
Anson, "Wow."
Kate, "I know, you guys think we are from Venus, but in fact, we are not that difficult to decipher." Kate said to Anson. Blinking, the expression clearly said:
This is a big secret, I can only help you so far. I hope you can perform well when you pursue women by yourself in the future.
The smile had just crept onto Anson's lips, and before he had time to respond, Kate had already moved on to the next topic.
“Since we met three times, let’s count it as three periods.”
“Actually, it is impossible for Clementine not to change her hair color during a long-term relationship. After all, The mood changes every day, but in order to prevent the audience from getting into more confusion, we have to sacrifice for the movie. It is a pity that the hair color cannot be changed during that period, but there is no way."
Anson's thoughts were also distracted. When I came back, I thought about it carefully and said, "Not necessarily."
Kate looked over.
Anson, “During the relationship between two people, Clementine can keep her hair red, but the difference is that you can choose different levels of red on different days and stages, such as light red, orange, bright red, etc. When the relationship is strong, it will be brighter. Some are bleaker when they encounter setbacks. ”
It’s like a barometer.
Kate, "Do you think of me as a neon sign? Just change it. Do you know how painful it is to dye your hair? And how damaging it is to your hair? Do you want me to be bald after the filming of this movie?" "
Anson: ...
I will fall out when I say it, and I will get angry when I say I am angry. There is no warning and I am caught off guard.
Even Anson couldn't keep up.
Wait, is this a joke?
"...Sorry?" Anson hesitated slightly.
Kate did not respond and stared at Anson quietly for a while, watching the air freeze and the hot atmosphere freeze into ice again and break into countless pieces, "But I like it."
"Clementine is such an elusive woman. I think you captured the essence of the character. Look, the lesson we just learned worked."
