Renly divided "Buried Alive" actor Paul Conroy into two performance levels,

The first part is the expression of emotions. Fear when you are afraid, panic when you panic, and despair when you are desperate. This is a typical expressive acting. Further, the same fear is expressed in different ways at different stages. , when Paul just found out that he was buried alive, when Paul failed to call for help on his mobile phone, when Paul realized that death was coming... These delicate and complicated treatments were a severe test of basic skills.

The real expressive acting is very particular about control. From the muscles to the corners of the mouth to the eyes, the whole person is a whole, and the emotions conveyed by the changes in every detail will be different. Maybe the audience can't describe it in words for a while, but the role After being combined with the plot, the empathy will be accurately expressed, making watching the performance a pleasure.

Alfred Hitchcock (alfred-hithcock) once made it clear that all his works require the use of expressionist acting skills and refuse to use methodological acting skills. The reason is simple, for horror, thriller, comedy and the like, emotional accuracy is the first element.

Although this is a field that Renly is familiar with, it is not a simple matter, because Paul's emotions in "Buried Alive" are under chaotic fluctuations, and the turmoil in a narrow space will become more and more with the advancement of time. Intense and increasingly depressing, like a powder keg being continuously compressed, it is no easy task to perform.

What's more, although Renly has been a human being, most of the time when it comes to acting, it's just on paper, and the actual combat experience is still not enough.

The second part is character mining, which tests the actor's understanding of the character and the interpretation of the script. This is no longer limited to the character, but also the relationship between the character and society, the background of the story creation, and the source of the theme core. And so on, which requires actors to get rid of the technique of performance itself, truly understand the character image, the background of the times, and the social meaning, and then give the performance its own understanding.

In "Buried Alive", the Iraq war is a big background, and the financial crisis brought about by the real estate bubble in the United States is a dark background. Paul chose to accept the work of Iraqi contractors. This decision itself is not only related to him, but also related to society. .

For example, when Paul contacted the FBI, they asked Paul not to tell the media, ostensibly because of fears that malicious media hype would reduce Paul's hopes of escape, but in fact because of the unrest in Iraq. Civilians in the United States have been killed one after another there. The United States has always condemned the government/government because of the quagmire in Iraq, and the poor situation of the financial crisis has made the people complain. At this moment, the last thing they need is” A civilian has been killed" news.

Therefore, the attitude of the FBI, Paul's anger, anxiety, and helplessness, the content presented is different. As Renly said, whether Paul is a commoner or a rich man, whether he is a man or a woman, whether he is in the United States or in Iraq will lead to different results. Paul himself knows this, and his reactions are naturally different. The details and methods of performance are different. and content will be biased.

If the expressionism is about control, then the method school is about letting go, truly letting go of yourself, letting yourself devote yourself to the role, blurring the boundaries between yourself and the role, between reality and fantasy , put yourself in the shoes to feel and show. For the audience, the connection between them and the characters will be closer, and the shock will blow.

This is completely new territory for Renly. In his last life, he spent ten years of his life lying in a hospital bed/on a hospital bed. Before that, he lived a completely step-by-step life, boring and boring. It can be said that all his life Experiences all come from movie stories, but everyone knows that movies are always an art, more or less exaggerated or deductive, and ultimately different from reality.

So, in terms of experience, Renly really is only "twenty years old". To try method acting, Renly would have to start from scratch, starting from scratch with every performance.

Now, Renly is trying to combine the two performances to find a new way of acting, giving the characters a new touch. If anyone knew what Renly was thinking, they would either yell at him for being a lunatic, or despise his self-control.

Leaving aside Renly's age, "Buried Alive" is only his second work and first movie. Now, even his expressive acting skills are far from perfect, and he actually wants to combine the two acting styles. It's simply a fantasy. Even veteran actors like Meryl Streep and daniel-day-lewis dare not say they can do it, let alone Renly?

But Renly has no such worries at all. Since he has been reborn once, since he has decided to constantly challenge the limits of performance, and since he has chosen this path, why not go crazy? What's more, the so-called innovation is to jump out of the box and imagine boldly. If you just follow the methods of the predecessors, then he will never be able to walk out of his own path, right?

In the second life, Renly didn't come to be conservative.

In Renly's view, the basic skills of the Expressionists are undoubtedly their advantages. They are like the foundation of a tall building, solid, stable, and precise, but overall, the Expressionists' control is too strong, too crafty, and lacking in spiritual energy. eddie-redmayne is a typical representative, it's not that his performance is not good enough, it's just a routine

Too obvious, the frame is also obvious.

On the other hand, the method school is too casual, not only is it easy to exert too much force, but also the situation of misunderstanding will lead to the collapse of the whole character; from another perspective, the actor can follow his own way without restraint. The style and own understanding of the interpretation, the kind of madness that wanders on the edge of madness will give the character an uncertain sense of mystery, and Leonardo Dicaprio (leonardo-dicaprio) is a representative, in fact, his The performances are often overpowering and overkill, but the movie-watching experience brought to the audience is vivid and lifelike.

It can be simply understood in this way that all performances of Expressionism are rehearsed in advance, and the actors know what they are doing, and then give the right performance at the right time, at the right position, and in the right way. This kind of enjoyment, constantly polishing the skills, the craftsman spirit is enough to move every audience.

And all the performances of the Method School are unpredictable. After the actors have truly integrated themselves into the characters, they put aside all constraints and put themselves into the performance, but what effect is shown, no one can know before watching the monitor, and they easily lose control. , and even lost. Once the actor enters the role, it is difficult to control, not necessarily completely accurate, it may be too exaggerated, and it may be slightly insufficient, but the fusion of reality and fantasy can bring a soul-shaking movie viewing experience.

Therefore, it is Renly's goal to combine the two performances, learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and develop a performance that belongs to him.

Rodrigo is a director, and his research on performance is naturally not that deep and thorough, but he also knows that it is not an easy task to show both levels as Renly said - more To be precise, this is an extremely difficult task, even those first-line actors who are famous for their acting skills would not dare to boast such a high profile; however, once successful, not only the depth and thickness of the characters will undergo qualitative changes , and the entire work of "Buried Alive" will also be reborn.

It's a good thing to have lofty goals, but only if you keep your feet on the ground; too much ambition can only end in broken bones.

Rodrigo looked at Renly who was confident and calm in front of him, his eyes swayed slightly for a moment, and then he stood up abruptly, "Give me a minute." In the crowd, after a short while, Rodrigo reappeared in sight, sprinted back with excitement, and sat down in front of Renly again, "Here."

Rodrigo handed Renly a small book, but before Renly could take it, Rodrigo took it back again, "Wait." He lowered his head and started to flip through the book, flipping through the book while flipping it. While thinking deeply, after hesitating and pausing for two times, he nodded in affirmation to himself, and then showed the book in front of Renly, "You read the script, and then let's try it out."

What was in front of Renly's eyes was the script "Buried Alive".

Renly took over the script and smiled, "So, is the audition finally going to get to the point now?" That calm demeanor made Rodrigo even more curious.

During the formal audition, the casting director will test the actors in different ways, it may be just a small talk, it may be a performance prepared in advance, or it may be a conversation on a specific topic... However, the most It is generally a scene where a script is selected on the spot, which tests the actor's on-the-spot reaction ability, the actor's ability to read the script, and of course the actor's line skills.

Rodrigo is doing just that now.

He watched Renly's movements intently, feeling a little apprehensive, expectant, curious, and excited. No matter what kind of medicine is sold in Renly's gourd, for him, a live performance is the best way to test it, to see how much Renly has, whether it is a mule or a horse, take it out and yo.

I saw that Renly was not in a hurry to start reading the lines immediately, but first glanced at the two pages of the script to get a general understanding of the cause and effect; then determined a scene and read it carefully; the third time it was low. The voice read all the lines. The whole process is very fast, but the rhythm is not rushed, the control is very good, and the professional attitude is immediately apparent.

Suddenly, Rodrigo remembered the incident that Renly mentioned when they just met, and he was thankful that he didn't watch "The Pacific War", so he didn't have a fixed impression, which is a good thing.

Is it really?
