Movie Master

Many people have a misunderstanding about action commercial movies, thinking that action actors do not need so-called acting skills, as long as they can fight, this seems to have become a routine. But this is not the case. Action movies do not require acting skills, but more need for an actor's temperament to be consistent. For example, Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford has a professor's elegance and elegance under the western cowboy outfit. Chic. Therefore, most action movies like to be lazy, and it is enough to find actors with suitable temperament and act in their true colors.

The epic masterpiece "Gladiator" can be regarded as an action and adventure drama. The fighting scenes in the movie occupy an important position. Russell Crowe endowed Maximus, a tragic hero, with a sad and benevolent temperament. , and successfully won the actor's statuette trophy for him.

If "Gladiator" is not a pure action commercial movie, then the success of "Bourne Shadow" is even more special. This work not only has a unique style in soundtrack, editing, martial arts design, etc., but Matt Damon also endowed Jason Bourne with the special color of a lonely hero, and later Jeremy Renner also starred in "Bourne Shadow 4", but it is generally believed by the media that it has lost its soul. This detail shows that the performances of action commercial movies are still different.

Matt is not the kind of actor with acting talent, but his performance is sincere, stable and solid, quite a bit like Tom Hanks, but lacks the spirituality and sensitivity of the latter, but this still makes Matt three times. Earned an Academy Award nomination for acting.

"Fury Road" is also such a work. It requires actors to use their performances to bring out the depth of the story. The plot is in-depth, especially the further excavation of the annihilation of human nature, the **** of freedom, and the loss of morality under the background of the apocalyptic wasteland.

In the scene just now, although Max was absolutely passive, he was tirelessly looking for the initiative, not only because of his survival awareness, but also because as a former policeman, his keen observation has almost become In addition, he was able to survive alone in the background of the end of the world, and even helped many people, which also means that he has enough vigilance, enough ability and enough courage.

At the beginning, Max was tied to the rear window of the car, but he was not tied behind like a dead body. Max should be like a poisonous snake, constantly looking around, looking for the possibility of escape and survival, and vigilant about his surroundings All the dangers, after all, this is a sandstorm, there are too many unpredictable situations.

Since Max's face was put on a mask poured with molten iron, and then connected to Nax's body with a chain to supply blood for Nax as a blood bag, Max's first reaction was to be in Nax's car Looking for the key to open the lock.

Max's eyes should be searching sharply and quickly, looking for the key, and thinking about how to get out without the key. In such a situation, the small chariot next to it fought over its own strength, and was completely detonated, and was involved in the tornado. Max smelled the smell of sulfur and danger, so he dodged in time and avoided it. Had a fatal disaster.

It was later discovered that when Nax decided to die together, Max chose the most primitive and direct method to try to solve the problem. After failing, Max began to think about the possibility of getting out at that moment, so Max looked back , This is to investigate the overall situation, this action made Max and Firosa have eye contact for the first time; so Max will be vigilant all over, thinking about how he should jump out of the car to escape after Nax detonated the gasoline, This made Max see the skylight being blown away for the first time, and after avoiding the crisis of being beheaded, he immediately seized the opportunity and flew over to stop Nax.

In other words, in just two minutes, Max did not relax at all. His every move had practical significance, which not only won him a glimmer of life, but also captured his past. In this scene, Nax is the protagonist, and Max is more of a part of the picture, but the emotions conveyed by the eyes and movements are absolutely a lot, and the transition is postponed to the next scene——Max and Fei Rosa's confrontation outlines the image of Max with just a few strokes.

It can be said that although the performance space is narrow, every frame has a special meaning.

But what about Lance's performance just now? He looked like a puppy lost in the fog, looking around in a daze, with no purpose or meaning. When danger approached, he howled in panic and relied on his survival instinct/ability to save himself. This is not Max's instinct/ability, but the animal's instinct/ability. Not only is there no detail in the performance, the eyes lose focus and attention, making the whole character scattered into a ball; there is also no support, and without the core driver, the character becomes an empty skin.

If this is "Die Hard", then Lance's performance just now is enough. The tough guy temperament and animal instinct/instinct will create an image of an iron-blooded hero. But the problem is that Max is not a hero. This is not just a problem with the character image of Max, but also involves Lance's setting of the tone and framework of the entire story, such as the annihilation of humanity under the end of the wasteland, and Max and Ferro Sha's comrade-in-arms friendship, as well as the cult temperament between Max and Nax who are both antagonistic and integrated, all of these contents will lose the possibility of further exploration because of the rigid and perfunctory performance. At that time, "Fury Road" will be nothing more than an ordinary visual effects blockbuster.

Therefore, it is not without reason that the director has requirements for actors.

As angry as Lance was with the crew, he was disappointed with himself. He clearly knew that after waiting for three days, the content they filmed was of no value, it was a pile of waste, and his own dereliction of duty was an important part of it.

If things go on like this, not to mention dedicating a classic, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to maintain the level of "the day after tomorrow"—at least, the shooting environment and conditions of "the day after tomorrow" are helping, and all the shooting is easily completed; moreover Don't say that relying on this work to make Chaos Pictures rise, defeat Warner Bros., and occupy a place in Hollywood, that is simply a dream.

After all, Lance couldn't hold it back, he clenched his fists and thumped down **** the wall, one after another, the pain piercing into the bone gradually calmed his brain down, and after a dozen times in a row, Lance finally spit out Taking a deep breath, he picked up a towel and wrapped it around his **** right hand, slumped on the recliner, and closed his eyes.

At this moment, Lance finally realized that he still had an obsession after all. Hope to defeat Warner Bros., hope to take the initiative, hope to kill a **** road, hope to never compromise, hope to insist on himself... There is nothing wrong with such an idea itself, because this is the motivation for him to establish himself in Hollywood and move forward bravely.

But recently, the ubiquitous pressure of Hollywood has blinded his obsession and caused his reason to lose control. He only wants to defeat his opponent, crush his opponent, and regain victory, so that he ignores the work itself. In this way, he is no different from those big film companies that are eager for quick success and blinded by interests. Everything is just based on the results-making money, that is a good thing; losing money, that is a bad thing, and the same goes for awards and nominations , the quality of the work itself is no longer important.

The problem is that if Lance becomes like this, Chaos Films does not have the ability to kill large companies decisively. They cannot afford a loss of 150 million, and they cannot spend 50 million for publicity at will. This is a terrible work, they have no way out, if the quality of the work cannot meet the expected standards, any mistake will bring disaster.

It's like Diorama Films.

In other words, the root and magic power of Lance's success in five consecutive works no longer exists.

Lance is not a dreamer, he also clearly knows that if a work cannot make money or win awards, then it is meaningless, he is not a film artist, he is a film maker; but Lance also clearly knows I know, for Chaos Pictures, for him, the quality of the work itself is the key to the success of the film, whether it is making money or winning awards.

This is also the reason why he chose "Fury Road" at the end of ~www.wuxiax.com~.

But now, the obsession with victory, profit, and counterattack blinded his eyes, causing him to lose the touch of an actor and the control of a director. And it has been more than a month since the "Fury Road" started. In the past three months, he has been like a lunatic, constantly working hard and moving forward, and now he discovered his mistake. It's not too late.

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help showing a wry smile. So far, due to the desert weather, the progress of "Fury Road" has seriously lagged behind. So far, less than a quarter of the content has been filmed. Opportunity. This helpless and bitter emotion swirled on the tip of his tongue, and finally turned into a smile.

Letting out a long breath, Lance put aside all the negative emotions of regret, annoyance, and anger. Now he needs to calm down and be quiet, first to sort out the thinking of the role of Max, find a suitable performance rhythm; and then rethink the blueprint for shooting.

Lance knew it was a daunting task, a daunting challenge beyond his reach, and the more he needed to focus on himself, the only way to get it done. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
