.,

The small town of Snim is like a paradise isolated from the world. There is no noise of vehicles, no noise of human voices, and even people are not common, so far away from the modern civilization of the city, wandering in the green ocean, Let the tense mind relax little by little.

Even more peaceful than the original "Gravity" shooting base. After all, it is the shooting base of Warner Bros. Although it is located in a remote area, you can occasionally see vehicles and villagers coming and going, and occasionally you can see movie fans who make a special pilgrimage. It is not noisy but also lively.

But now the small town of Sneem is a pure town, not widely known for the time being. It is like a paradise. It is so quiet that the time has settled down. No wonder people often say that there is no time in the mountains, and the impetus of the torrent of time cannot be detected at all. , everything slowed down.

After arriving on the set, the actors started script practice, but this time the practice was a little different than before.

By convention, the actors are familiar with the characters by reading the script aloud, and can be familiar with each other; at the same time, the director modifies the performance according to his own needs and understanding, so that the actors have a relatively clear understanding of the performance style and the context of the performance before officially entering the shooting. frame, which saves not only time, but also film. For small-budget independent film crews, this is a very necessary link.

But the problem now is that Ogus’s script is still not finished, especially the part after entering the forest, which needs to be created while shooting, which also creates a lot of difficulties for script practice.

From the creative point of view, in fact, the main line of the plot has not changed much, the story is still the same story, and the parts that Oggs need major surgery to modify have been completed; but from the performance point of view, the real change is precisely the lines, Emotions, situations, etc. performance details.

For example, when facing the same scene, in the original script, David may have responded like this, but now the character setting has changed, so the lines need to be adjusted, or the mood is not the same- - In the future, Oggs needs to complete the creation while filming. That's it. This is the reason why the movie can be started when the script has not been completely created. It can be played on the spot.

However, there is no way for the script exercise to proceed smoothly: because the emotions and states of the characters cannot be determined.

In the end, the script exercise also evolved into another form, the discussion meeting.

In fact, just like the discussion between Renly and Oggs at the beginning, everyone expressed their own opinions on the plot and characters, and then explored the other's opinions from the mouths of the opposing actors, interpreting the story and the core from different perspectives——

In the context of Oggs, he hopes to maintain the diversity and complexity of the whole story, and has the possibility of extending in different directions, then, relying only on the wisdom of Oggs or Renly, this must exist Because everyone's thinking has its own limitations and blind spots, only by brainstorming can we truly present a colorful social level. So Renly came up with the idea.

Ogles reserved his attitude. He felt that such a blossoming discussion method could easily get out of the frame, which might eventually deviate from his original intention, and then the style of the whole film would become complicated, which would not be worth the harm; but Ogles had no objection. , he still opened up the possibility.

It wasn't long before Orgus understood Renly's intentions:

The entire cast was formed after Oggs nodded, and each actor was selected for a special reason. The fit between them and the characters was what Oggs valued most. There are similarities with the characters, which enables them to derive their own ideas on the basis of conforming to the style of Oggs, filling the characters little by little, and enriching the story layers.

Here, Ogus must face a serious challenge - how to control the proportions.

Just like the original script of "Jurassic World", the greed of biological and chemical weapons, the ambition of human beings to claim to be God, the importance of humanistic respect for life and family belonging, the moral of the whole story is extremely huge and extremely greedy, but nothing can Well told, it weakened the deep meaning of the story; later, the script was revised to condense the core, and the fluency and focus were also guaranteed.

Ogus is also facing the same problem, but compared with "Jurassic World", the pattern and attributes of "Lobster" have inherent advantages, because the depth of thought itself is hidden in the background of the whole story, and it is not necessary to Excavation or elevation does not require the route and carving of the plot.

What Oggs needs to do now is not to add content greedily and constantly, but to give the actors enough room to play on the basis of the original story, and then modify some lines so that the performance can fit within the framework of the story background and derive the character himself The ultimate goal is to make the setting of this "Utopia" more slender and more emotional, which is enough to achieve a strong reflection effect.

Of course, it is easy on paper, but difficult in practice. Ogus still has a lot of work to do.

The script practice lasted for two weeks, which was far beyond expectations-according to the original plan, it took five days to practice at most, and then it was time to go straight to shooting, but the development of things gradually gave rise to infinite possibilities, just like David and The role of a woman has its own attributes, and other roles also have their own single-line veins.

It must be emphasized that the original setting of the supporting characters in the Oggs script was correct and did not require extensive changes like David and the woman; but now, script practice gives

A clearer and more accurate definition of these contexts has given the performance a clearer direction, which is a good thing for actors.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters. The extended script practice provides a solid foundation for actual shooting, just like the repeated rehearsal before the official performance of a stage play.

This subtle change can be felt from the very first scene when the film finally officially begins.

"He thinks the brown shoes are the most suitable choice. He has some pain in his back, but it is not the unbearable pain in the past."

"He thought to himself, his wife chose to leave for love, so why did he continue to insist on it? He didn't cry for it, nor did he think that when other people face separation, their first reaction is to cry. Can't say he was hopeful, but at least not bitter."

Rachel sat on an old dark brown dark-patterned sofa, reciting in a steady and icy tone, the tone fluctuated slightly, but she couldn't find too many hidden emotions, just like a god who watched from the sidelines Normal viewing angle.

Although the "myopia woman" played by Rachel will not appear until the second half of the forest, at the same time, the narrative perspective of the whole story is also dominated by David, which deserves to be the absolute core; but at the end of the story, it can be found , it is the short-sighted woman who really grasps the development trend of the story line-

From the first act of the story, she appeared as a narrator, but not from the perspective of the storyteller, but from God's perspective of watching all beings, which also means that from the very beginning, she was calculating everything, and then At his own pace, it attracted David to take the bait step by step.

This kind of upper-level perspective that controls the overall situation is also the reason why Oggs put the core role above the role of "myopia" in the first place.

Now, Rachel is trying to interpret the narration in her own way - in fact, at this time she has entered the performance mode of myopic women.

Calm, restrained, objective, not too emotional, but not cold, more of a rational.

The first scene has not yet officially started. Rachel's narration will be recorded separately in the later stage. Her current demonstration is more to help the actors and the atmosphere of the audience get into shape.

After the narration ended, Rachel paused and cast her eyes at Oggs, "Director, are you sure you must add the last sentence? I always feel that this is suspected of being a spoiler. The story is too clear. , does it spoil the surprise instead? It doesn't match the tone of the movie, doesn't it?"

Oggs took off the headset on his ear and shook his head at Rachel, "No, we need some spoilers. We won't mention the part about the ex-wife later, so the relationship between David and his ex-wife will not be mentioned. relationship, we need to bury clues for the audience to speculate. Now the spoiler information is still too little for the audience, they will find it strange, and then slowly dig more things from the follow-up story. In order to avoid direct White speaking, we need to cram clues in different places."

Rachel fell silent and thought about it for a moment, "You mean, we all know the big picture now, so it's especially sensitive to see these clues; but if it's the audience, they'll just be confused?"

Ogus showed a smile at Rachel, expressing affirmation.

Oggs retracted his gaze and was about to announce the start of filming, but noticed that Rachel showed more doubts, interrupting Oggs' rhythm again; Oggs did not speak in a hurry, but cast Glancing his gaze, he patiently asked, "Is there any question?"

"Yes." Rachel gave a positive answer, "Why did his wife leave him?" Rachel pointed to Renly, "I know the truth, even a handsome guy can be abandoned, but This has no sense of substitution for the audience. How does he convince the audience that his wife is leaving? He has no beer belly, he does not look sloppy, and he does not have the image of a greasy middle-aged man, this is not right, he is too much …”

"Scholar?" Renly took over the topic with a smile.

Rachel nodded, "Yes, scholar! He looks like a harmless...big boy, I can't see why my wife left him."
