Chapter 547

The classroom fell into silence.

Sammy covers her mouth tightly and takes a peek at Betty. Then she raises her eyes and looks at Lan Li carefully. However, she finds that Lan Li doesn't raise her head at all, as if she didn't notice the sound in the classroom. Even her appearance is outside the radar and she is still reading the books in front of her.

This made Sami feel a little relieved, but then there was some loss. So far, she hasn't said hello to lanli, but she's still not sure whether it's appropriate for her to speak rashly and disturb lanli's working state. So, Sammy turned to look at Betty and cast a hint of help with her eyes. Unfortunately, Betty kept her head down all the time and her chin was close to her chest. Only the light of her eyes was drifting wildly, and she didn't want to give any more response.

Sammy drooped her shoulders in chagrin and lowered her head heavily. She looked like a broken puppet doll. Her vivid body language fully showed her disappointment at the moment. The small eyes of resentment constantly floated to Betty's body, one would toot, one would squeeze eyebrows, one would sigh, and the rich and varied expressions were really wonderful.

"If it's boring, you can start looking through the script." There is always a rustling sound in the classroom. It can't be said that it is noisy. In fact, there is always a turbulent air flow fluctuating. This kind of sound is more annoying than the noise, as if even the rhythm of breathing has been interrupted.

If he was absorbed in the script reading, then lanli would not notice it at all, but after reading the script for a while, the whole agitation and confusion became more obvious. So, Lan Li just raised his head and looked at the two girls in front of him, but he couldn't help laughing.

Sammy's whole body is full of fresh vitality, which seems to be inconsistent with the keynote of the whole film, but the fact is just the opposite. That kind of ancient spirit is the most special shining point of Erica. Some are mischievous, some are cynical, and even some are naive and romantic. This 15-year-old girl's character forms a strong sense of contradiction with the fall of the prostitute, She is seeking Henry's salvation, but at the same time she also saves Henry.

Betty exudes a special temperament, timid with a trace of curiosity, sad with a trace of vitality, introverted with a trace of urgency. In this role, bearing the main line of gradual change in the film, the children growing up in the filth breed a weak hope, eager to rush out of this quagmire. She finds it in Henry, but this hope is gradually and gradually disappearing. Finally, she chooses a decisive way to say goodbye.

"Detached" script is a typical way of writing stage drama, and the relationship between the characters is profound.

Sarah, who is also a teacher, is a conscientious educator. She tries to save these children, but she can't find a way. The heavy pressure will almost crush her; More importantly, she is also longing for salvation. She hopes to be able to take out this hell. If she can, she will choose to leave, far away. She thought Henry would be the key.

In fact, deep down in Sarah's heart, the fire of hope has gone out. She doesn't hope for these children, but thinks that she can escape from them. In essence, she is dark, desperate and painful. So when she saw Meredith in Henry's arms, her first thought was negative. Maybe, from the beginning, she didn't believe Henry would be the key.

Erica and Meredith are two teenagers. Erica is climbing from the bottom of the dark valley, always looking for a bright exit, and actively moving forward; Meredith is from the abyss of despair down, never really believe that he can be redeemed, holding in the hands of a glimmer of hope, like sand, gradually disappeared. Both of them keep their hopes on Henry, but they go to different ends.

Just from the selection of these three roles, we can see that Tony chose the actors of his own color, expecting their own temperament to bring out the characteristics of the role, rather than trying to perform, leaving more room for the camera language as much as possible.

But the accident happened to lanli. If Tony chooses Adrian Brody according to the track of his last life, it's also a natural performance, although there is no doubt about Adrian's performance skills. There is no blame for this choice, but from the perspective of the finished product, the whole work is immersed in a sad and despairing mood, unable to go further or enrich the level, staying in the same place, which restricts the possibility of a better film.

In a proper performance, lanli is confident that he can reach Tony's standard and offer Adrian style performance again. But lanli is not only satisfied with this. Whether lanli's version of "detachment" can surpass and surpass lanli depends on his performance.

Lanli has read the script over and over again, but today's reading has a new perspective, and gradually he begins to conceive the performance in his mind - not the role, but the performance. This is a typical difference between Expressionists and Methodists. Of course, it's not that Expressionists don't think about the role. The basis of performance is always the role. It's just that the interpretation and analysis after going deep are quite different.

Maybe, he should start practicing the script, not alone. So he stopped reading, noticed the trivial sound in his ear, and saw two young girls.

"What?" Sammy's eyes widened and didn't seem to understand Lan Li's words. Sitting next to Betty is a face at a loss, the line of sight flustered in blue and Sammy back and forth between moving.

Lan Li did not speak, but put up the script in his hand and motioned.

Sammy got up to the desk and squinted at it carefully. She realized that it was not a book, but a script. She suddenly nodded, but did not take the next step. Then lanli gently shakes the script. Sammy nods again, just like a shaking head doll. He takes out the script from his schoolbag in a panic. Then, like a good student, he straightens his waist, stares at his eyes, and at the same time, he is waiting for lanli's instructions with a bright smile.

Betty's action was a little slower, but then she took out the script. Her eyes were full of uneasiness and panic, and she didn't know what to do.

But lanli didn't mind. He explained in a friendly way, "script practice. Open the script, choose your own lines, engage with the actors in the opposite play, and find the right rhythm and emotion. At the same time, find the way of each other's performance, and guess the more accurate rhythm before the official shooting. "

Script practice is a very academic basic training, and it is a very important preparation before the stage performance. Of course, the main reason is that there is no room for fault tolerance in the live stage performance. Practice, practice and re practice are the only way to polish the performance.

But in actual shooting, let alone Hollywood, even in Europe, script practice is getting less and less. Most of the time, the actor or their own research, and then through the formal rehearsal before shooting to complete the run in. However, for new actors without any acting experience, script practice is the best way to find the rhythm of the performance.

Sammy suddenly nodded, bowed his head, opened the script and looked for it carefully. Then he stopped and looked at Lan Li again. "Er, how do you start? Can I just start reading my lines? "

Lanli nodded, gave a look of encouragement, and then Sammy spoke directly, without any timidity or hesitation. The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

"Why are you following me? Clam Sammy's first line doesn't appear to be undulating, not to mention performing. She can even hear the smile in her voice. The voice line trembles slightly, unable to hide her excitement and tension. After reading, Sammy raised her head and looked at Lan Li with uncertain hesitation in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, lanli didn't pick on the prick. He naturally continued, "I didn't. It's late. You should go home. Let's go, ma'am. " The gentle voice was slightly suppressed, as if it was suppressing some emotion. There was a faint shiver in the ending, but under the calm surface, there was a surge of undercurrent.

Sammy was stunned, and her lines were cut off. She didn't expect that Lan Li was so smooth that she didn't even read the script and said the exact lines without any hesitation; She did not expect that lanli's performance was so special. By contrast, her mood just now was wrong. It was obvious that the two people were at different levels and could not form a dialogue.

Vaguely, Sammy understood the meaning of the script practice. "What's the trick?"

"Read it, read it out loud." "You need to know what you're talking about. Lines, it's meaningful, even if it's a greeting chat, in a movie script - I mean, in a good script, it's all hidden meaning. Actors are not rereaders of lines. These lines must come from the heart. So you need to know exactly what you say, why you say it, and what it's like when you say it. "

Apart from everything else, the basic quality of an actor is his lines. Unfortunately, most of the actors in Hollywood do not have this quality. In other words, they disdain such literacy, and the script does not provide the corresponding soil.

Sammy nodded thoughtfully, and the vague expression could not tell whether he understood or not. Then you can hear it. Betty, sitting next to her, began to read it in a low voice, but her voice was so vague that she couldn't hear it clearly.

If you're going to read it yourself, open your voice and read it over and over again; If you're going to get involved in the collaboration, you definitely need me to be able to hear the lines. " There was a slight smile in her indifferent tone, which made Betty smile.
