Even as a director, the scene just now really made Rodrigo jaw-dropping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, during the performance, Lan Li tampered with the lines, and many parts were played on the spot, the most obvious being that in the final stage of the performance, Paul was actually shocked in the script, but he still spoke, and he couldn't help but curse foul language, and, after despair, he also said "You brought me here", which triggered the "I'm sorry" on the other end of the phone.

But in the actual performance, Lan Li was completely silent, pinched out all the lines, and just relied on the delicate changes in his eyes and breathing to vividly show the emotion of despair to powerlessness, compared to angry rebuttals, compared to unwilling accusations, this silent disillusionment brought more turbulent shock, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed this mockery and powerlessness to the fullest.

The power of the performance was amplified to the extreme at this moment, and the powerful aura even affected the person who played the other side - Alex Villagraça, he was just a live assistant, and he would re-find a professional actor to record the voice on the other end of the phone in the later stage, but Alex, who was not even an amateur actor, deeply felt the kind of suppressed despair to the extreme, so that his voice performance gave more life.

The emotions after the repression burst out with exponential energy, making every onlooker fall into shock.

Rodrigo had to admit that Lan Li's performance even went beyond the script and reached a higher level. It's not just the last scene, in fact, the whole scene is like this, there is no trace of carving, the whole performance is smooth and done in one go, but the reflection brought to the audience is so turbulent:

Paul's sense of responsibility for his family is the biggest motivation in his heart, even if the audience doesn't understand what went wrong between him and Linda - Linda never answered the phone, and the company still spilled dirty water that Paul and Pamela had an affair, but the audience can deeply feel Paul's dedication and attachment to the family, he may have made some wrong choices, he may not have a very likable personality, but there is no doubt that he is a good family man.

He chose to come to Iraq for the sake of his family, and now he is dying here.

The indifference of large corporations to powerless and powerless employees is chilling, not only do nothing, but also try to shirk responsibility, and the indifference and cruelty of the interests are vividly displayed in this phone call, revealing the evil nature of the supremacy of profit, and every employee is just a tool for them - even the head of human resources on the phone, Aaron, who is as insignificant as an ant in the face of the state apparatus and large institutions.

He came to Iraq believing in the company's asylum, and now he is denied even the right to compensation after his death.

Thinking further, what is the difference between these large companies and the government?

In this scene, Rodrigo clearly felt two layers of performance, as Lan Li said, one is the real emotion, the other is Paul's attributes, the restrained performance contains such a terrifying energy, and the power of acting makes his soul tremble.

The filming of "Buried Alive" has entered the sixth day, he originally thought that he would not be more surprised, he originally thought that he had become accustomed to Lan Li's performance, he originally thought that Lan Li could not be better, but, obviously, he was wrong.

Looking back, the other members of the crew were still stunned, as if their thoughts couldn't turn around, and they seemed to be so shocked that they couldn't be overwhelmed, all of them stood in place with blank eyes, out of their bodies, and at a loss. Alex, in particular, seemed to be unable to come back to his senses, his face was blank and his soul was lost.

Rodrigo looked at Lan Li again, not hiding the worry in his eyes, although the quality of the footage was far beyond expectations, and the ecstasy in his heart had drowned him out, but Lan Li's state was ...... Even if he is a layman in acting, he can see that it is bad, very bad, as if he had personally experienced Paul's torture.

"Lan Li, are you sure you don't need to get some rest?" Rodrigo asked again.

Lan Li lay down again, the tiredness in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all, he shook his head gently, but his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, if a simple action almost consumed the strength of his whole body, the tiredness of running out of oil and lamp made people worried. "Let's keep shooting, finish work early, finish work early, I can have a good vacation, a long vacation. ”

The ridiculous voice was weak, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was like a wisp of smoke, as if it would dissipate at any time.

Rodrigo wanted to say something, but Lan Li had already picked up the script again, lay down in the coffin and began to read it, preparing for the next scene, the words of dissuasion were still stuck in his throat after all, and he turned around and shouted, "Next scene!

The only thing he can do now is to speed up the filming schedule and finish it as soon as possible. After all the work, Lan Li can have a good rest.

Lan Li knew that his current state was not right, the poor quality of sleep had been overdrawing his physical strength, and the trance state of not being able to distinguish between illusion and reality was extremely dangerous. He knew that he was a little out of control now-

Originally, he thought that he could control the situation, after all, he was born in expressionist acting, even if he tried the method, there would not be too many surprises, and it was more likely that he couldn't break his framework, and he returned to expressive acting again while performing, because this is the way he is most familiar with acting, so his intention to try to integrate the two performances was frustrated.

But in fact, after figuring out the character in a methodological way, things began to get a little out of control, and my mind always involuntarily thought of the experience of the previous closed experience, and the eight hours of time seemed like a century, but it was short like a moment, deeply imprinted in the depths of my mind, walking in every cell of the body, there seemed to be an invisible thread in the performance process, faintly involving him on a rampage, and all the performances seemed to come naturally. Before the brain has time to think, the body's instincts/abilities have already reacted, and even the well-cooked lines have become a part of the body and blurted out.

It's like a wild horse that has no control in any way, but what's worse is that now even the idea of control is gone, everything is so natural, and the extra control can affect the direction, let the show go off the rails, let go of the brakes, and let yourself enjoy the bumpy ride, which is easier and more realistic. The so-called control sounds like a big joke.

Things are becoming more and more unpredictable. He should have stopped, he should have stopped trying, he should have rested for a while, as Rodrigo said.

But, he didn't want to.

In the last moment of the scene just now, there was a force deep in his subconscious that suppressed his urge to speak, and fell into a silence, he didn't know why, but he just followed the guidance of reason, cut off all the words, and then let his emotions slowly ferment in the silence.

This state of affairs is wonderful, the exact opposite of the "war in the Pacific". At that time, he was controlling the rhythm of the performance, but the moment he saw the dying woman, his emotions were a little out of control, as if he had really entered Eugene's world; just now, he was in a chaos, a confusion, and a loss of control, he grabbed the last string of reason, took back his emotions, and the control of the moment made all the chaos and order clear.

Now that I think about it, I actually felt when I read the script before, and he thinks that silence should be better than sound here.

If according to the guidance of the script, Paul's scolding and inability to accuse are indeed very appropriate to the situation, in line with the screenwriter's setting for Paul, and the main idea of the whole plot is clear, but he thinks that this is inferior, and the really good script is not "didactic" preaching, but using the power of the plot itself to bring reflection, leaving the thinking part to the audience themselves, rather than telling the audience how to think. Therefore, silence is more powerful, and it can also sublimate the core of the whole movie.

In the course of the performance, the last moment of the precipice, the runaway reins returned to the palm of the hand, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping instantly became orderly, even if it was just an instant, the new world presented in front of you was amazing and incredible. This made Lan Li realize that that kind of ethereal attempt was real, and that he could do it!

So, even if he still can't determine the difference between reality and dreams, it's very likely that all of this is still Paul's dream, he's still trapped in a coffin, or Lan Li's dream in his hotel room, he dreamed that he had done a great job, even if he still can't define his identity, the line between Paul and Lan Li seems to have disappeared, the chaos of memory fragments exhausts him, even though he has reached the extreme of his strength and energy, and seems to be on the verge of collapse at any moment......

But he still didn't want to give up, he wanted to firmly grasp the fleeting inspiration just now, continue to explore on this path, push open the door to that new world, and get a glimpse of the mysterious and profound and wonderful scene. If you don't go crazy, you can't live, do you?

Closing his eyes again, Lan Li fell into the pain of struggling, as if his soul had been torn in half, half Paul and half Lan Li, half movie and half reality, the piercing pain seemed to directly smash the brain, and it was broken open, and the surging pain swept over, the muscles up and down the body began to tremble slightly, and the sweat on the forehead faintly seeped out.

Standing in the dark doorway, he was not sure whether the other side was a nightmare or reality, despair or hope, but he still gritted his teeth and took another step, resolutely.
