Chapter 257 A Higher Level Clown

Zhou Le's departure was not silent. He already had a formal actor contract in front of him. There was already a song and dance drama that wanted to hire him as a performer for one of the roles, and he was just waiting for his signature.

When his peers felt that this young man from China had finally succeeded, he left, leaving the place where he had struggled for several months for a movie role whose chances of getting a chance might be less than [-]% or even lower.

A lunatic with ideals, all we can do is bless him, and hope that one day we can see his success in the cinema.

This kind of evaluation reminds many people that when they first met Zhou Le, he told everyone that he was a movie actor.

Seeing the script of this clown character for the first time, Zhou Le thought he was crazy.

Looking at it again, this cognition is all shattered, and a lunatic has no such attractive charm.

When he savored the role carefully for the third time, Zhou Le told himself, I want to act, even though my understanding of this role is not yet in place.

For three days, Zhou Le didn't even enter the simulation scene, and only slept for four hours a day. The rest of the time was spent understanding, analyzing, and entering this role.For the first time, he felt that being a simulated scene would not help him very much, because he had already had a different definition of the clown in the script for the nth time.

The clown is not a lunatic, he has his own ideals.

This film is not to show humanity through the Joker and Batman.

The Joker and Batman are two sides of the same coin.

Joker is an extreme idealist.

What the clown has to do, from another perspective, is to redefine human instinct.

Zhou Le didn't know if he was thinking right, or if he was on the edge of a corner. Maybe the screenwriter and author didn't think so much, but he just wanted to interpret the clown he understood.

"You can audition today. I think you can try it with makeup. Many people will try this way. After all, the clown in this movie needs to wear makeup for the whole movie. The feeling after makeup is more important than your own feeling. " Dong Fengyu was taken aback when she saw Zhou Le, what's wrong with this guy, I've never seen him in such a state, it's inaccurate to say he's decadent, but he doesn't think it's responsible enough to say that he is a demon, somewhere in between .

"Sister, I want seven days."

"This is impossible. The first round of auditions will start immediately. We don't have any capital to make people wait for us or give us a few days."

"I need time." Zhou Le closed his eyes and thought for a while, insisting on his thoughts.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Even if you don't even have the chance to audition for this, you still want to try?"

"If you can't beat all your opponents, so what if you go."

It's not the first time Dong Fengyu has dealt with Zhou Le's "self-willedness" that popped up sometimes. She chooses to believe in this man. Yes, compared to a year ago, he is now a year older than he was a year ago. The ladder from a big boy to a man is the change and growth of his mentality this year.

"What do you need me to do?"

"The swimming pool is drained. I have calculated that a small container can be placed in it. I will live in it for a week."

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I am certain."

"That doesn't have to be a container, you just need to stay in the room."

"That's different."

A few hours later, Jason Smith looked at Zhou Le who walked into the container, completely unable to understand his madness, and asked Dong Fengyu next to him: "What is he going to do?"

"He's experiencing the role."

Jason shook his head, unable to understand.

"Help me watch him. He has an alarm inside and monitoring. I want to fight for him for seven days."

Jason looked at Dong Fengyu's haggard face, sighed, and suddenly stretched out his hand in front of her eyes. Dong Fengyu subconsciously wanted to hide, but finally chose not to move, and let Jason smooth out his messy hair.

"Let me go. You know that Charles and I have a good relationship. He once owed me a favor." The Charles that Jason was talking about was Charles Rowan, the producer of the new movie.

Before Dong Fengyu could say his refusal, Jason walked up to her, very close, and looked at her solemnly: "As long as you promise me to sleep well these few days, I will help you look after him."

No matter how strong a woman is, she also has her own "soft" side. When she is willing to show her weak state in front of a man one day, at least half of her heart has accepted the man in front of her.

"En." Dong Fengyu nodded.

A bright smile appeared on Jason's face, and he walked out, taking out his mobile phone to make a call while walking: "Hi, Charles, I have a very good box of cigars, are you interested in tasting them?"

........................

Inside the container, during the short period of preparation, there was a camera, an alarm that was placed on the ground at the door without time to fix it, an incandescent lamp, a portable toilet bought in a supermarket, a foldable single bed and a small Desk, enough food, water and simple daily necessities for a person to live for seven days.

It took less than ten hours for these things to be shipped from the container and ready. One can imagine how rough the whole environment is.

Zhou Le has no requirements for these. He just wants to let himself truly enter a state of meditation in an absolutely quiet or even claustrophobic place. How to enter the world of clowns and how to understand this role, he feels that if you rely on the front There is no need to audition for the clown at several levels, and it is almost impossible for him to pass. He feels that this role should not appear in superhero movies. There has never been a superhero blockbuster that would need one like this. a complex role,

He thought about whether he was overthinking it, maybe the clown in the script only needs to perform the destruction and -evil-evil- that the villain should have.He couldn't pass his own level. The character script described in detail what the clown did, including all his lines, not completely in the overall script, and integrated all the actions of the clown into the timeline of script events. His Understand, this role completely crushes all the roles he has played before.

If he saw this character a year ago, he would think it was just a very interesting villain, a neurotic lunatic, whose behavior style could not be measured by normal people's standards, and he could feel that he had depth. What Xia said, we are all monsters, but they need you now, when they don't need you, they will exclude you, you will be the same as me.

Today, a year later, he got the role, and within two days he rejected a clown of this realm, that was too superficial.

If you want it, you have to act it out.

Going to the audition is not to tell the interviewer your own understanding of the clown, then the screenwriter who can 'play' the role best in the world will be the screenwriter, and there is no need for actors.

The whole process is full of clown makeup, without showing his face. This is a disadvantage, and perhaps it is also one of the few advantages of being a Chinese actor in this role. The performance is based on the eyes, the expression that matches the clown makeup, the performance must also be on the body, and on the body. lines.

In a few months on Broadway, what he learned the most was the lines. For the same line, you listen to it with your ears instead of watching the actor’s performance with your eyes. Let the lines become the most central point. He found that using lines to show the characters can be It was wonderful.

If the performance can show the character [-]%, adding the embellishment of the lines can make this [-]% into [-]%.

Besides clown makeup, what kind of look do I need, from hair to clothes?

What kind of eyes should I use to perform?
What kind of body movements do I need to match the character?

What kind of tone and tone belong to the clown's voice?
Thinking of the claustrophobic container, Zhou Le felt that this was the best experience scene, living in an environment that could drive him crazy for seven days, he didn't need to be a clown, he just wanted to be a good clown.

Thinking of this method, Zhou Le set the tone for his performance this time. If this role is substituted into it, it will definitely not work. In that case, he will definitely be greatly affected in reality, and even leave hidden dangers in his psychological state. To act, to present this role with the best acting skills by understanding, it is necessary to overcome the psychological ups and downs that may be brought about by playing this role.

Whether I can be a clown or not is my madness about acting.

Being able to endure seven days of constantly figuring out roles and performing roles in this environment, Zhou Le will still be Zhou Le when he comes out. When the director says action, he is a clown, and when he says cut, Zhou Le is standing there.
