The rhythm is out of balance.

When a person is always walking at the pace of a walk, and suddenly bursts out at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, this imbalance that breaks the shackles of the rhythm will bring about a very prominent shocking effect. Even though this is a sixty-year-old man, his 100-meter sprint speed may be similar to that of others jogging, but the visual effect is still very obvious.

This is the case with Lance's performance just now. He has always maintained a kind of calmness and calmness, even seriousness. The sudden acceleration caused the rhythm to be out of balance, and the psychological impact it brought was naturally thunderous. But in fact, if you observe carefully, you can find that Lance only drove the speed at the moment when he sat upright. In addition, he still maintained the previous performance rhythm, even the sentence Have you heard of Rwanda? Is it? He lowered his volume again, the guttural voice from the depths appeared hoarse and rough, and the vicissitudes and forbearance between the honings contrasted with the suppressed monstrous anger.

Vincent was finally irritated by Max's bewilderment and reluctance. His impatient irritability was like a bomb detonated in the deep sea. There was no sign on the surface, but the whole city was shaken. stand up.

Hayden was completely stunned at this time, with the script in his hand, at a loss, he squirmed his mouth, but found that no sound came out. Lance rolled his eyes in his heart. This is exactly the point of confrontation between Vincent and Max. Vincent's sudden outburst also angered Max, so Max will hit back with a wall-to-wall and head-to-head confrontation. , pushing the atmosphere in the taxi to the extreme in an instant. Then, Vincent needs to be silent for about half a second to push this tension to the extreme. It is best to have a sports car engine roaring past outside the window, which can contrast this atmosphere more vividly.

However, Hayden didn't respond, and Lance couldn't open his mouth, so he could only continue walking at his own pace.

Lance's hands under the chair clenched into fists. Although the camera couldn't see it, the muscles all over his body tightened suddenly—at this time Lance was wearing Max's scene, loose and fat, and he couldn't see any Muscular lines, but Tom is wearing a tailor-made handmade suit, so any slight change can be captured by the camera.

The moment he clenched his fist, the air froze, Lance's voice retracted, and calmness was restored again, but this time, the faint impatience was always leaking out in the words, and the slightly frowned brows changed in the darkness of the light. There was a trace of violence in between, Tens of millions of people die there every day before sunset. Since Nagasaki and Hiroshima, there have not been so many deaths. Do you care about those deaths?

The plain words were full of cynicism, and they were slammed like a whip, crisp and sharp, with a long aftertaste, Have you participated in Oxfam organized by Amnesty International? Save the whales? Save the forest? The rhythm of the words began to speed up, As if even breathing had stopped completely, he finally asked and answered himself with a thunderous No, drew a period, then adjusted his breathing, and slowed down the rhythm again, I killed a fat Boy, are you going to lose your temper?

The ending sound rose slightly, the sharpness of sarcasm, the bitterness of indifference, and the shudder of indifference slowly seeped out between the lines, and then I saw Lance leaning back slowly in the chair again, that handsome face in the light and shadow flow Unpredictable, as if every frame of the picture showed the delicate changes of emotions, and finally calmed down slowly, re-precipitating in the shadows.

At the end of this point, Lance let out a long breath, then raised his hand and waved it, indicating that this scene is over, because the next step is to cooperate with the scene, and just now at the final stage, Hayden has no voice , Without cooperation, it is difficult to show the effect of the following scenes.

Next, Max still insisted on saying Dude, I don't know any Rwandans. This sentence has turned Vincent's monstrous anger into helplessness. He didn't want to deal with Max anymore, so he said perfunctorily The corpse in the carriage is a bad guy, and he is killing harm for the people. But the absurd theory sparked further backlash from Max, who couldn't help but say, So, that means I can kill you, right?

Because according to Vincent's theory, people die every day in this world, and Max doesn't need to make a fuss at all. What he killed was just a stranger, and he had nothing to do with Max. What's more, it is legal to kill a bad guy for God's sake; from Max's point of view, he is facing a murderer—a bad guy without a doubt, so he can also kill Vincent If he is killed, he does not have to bear any responsibility or moral condemnation.

This is the basic tone of the Rashomon story, and it was cited for the first time in the movie.

The next paragraph requires the cooperation of two people. The rhythm of question and answer is kept on a horizontal line, but the emotional changes are always fluctuating violently like an electrocardiogram. Without Hayden's cooperation, he can't do anything alone.

Lance opened the door of the taxi and walked down. Looking at the two people who were completely stunned, he snapped his fingers a few times in a row to bring them back to their thoughts. Lance adjusted his breathing and prepared to He opened his mouth to ask Tom what he was thinking, but Tom opened his eyes wide and said incredulously, Damn Jesus, where did you come from?

Lance pursed his lips and tilted his head, It's the same as you, in mother's stomach. One sentence made Tom straight up, and he shook his head with a speechless smile, God, God! You really are a Damn bastard! Lance shrugged, as if Tom was talking about praise, and he accepted it, and then said directly, Do you feel a little bit now? Or do you need me to guide you?

In a blink of an eye, Lance returned to normal and returned to the discussion, which really made Tom not used to it. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't turn his mind. Whether it was the huge information and shocking experience brought by the performance just now, or the powerful strength shown by Lance as an unknown person, Tom couldn't react for a while.

In fact, the only thought in Tom's mind now is: Is Lance really acting in a movie for the first time?

Yes, this is the standard answer; but in the last life, Lance spent 13 years of polishing and precipitation, as well as basic studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and the vicissitudes of life in the third life... So, things have never been so Simple, if there is an effect, there must be a cause, and if you want to harvest, you must have harvest.

Lance suppressed the slight bitterness in his heart, ignored the inquiry in Tom's eyes, and then said, Have you noticed? In the scene just now, you need to suppress, and then suppress, to suppress all emotions , because Vincent is a professional killer, before this scene, he was invulnerable and flawless, but facing a tricky character like Max, he almost wanted to kill him directly, and it would be a one-and-done killer. I can tell you that you must calm down, it is very easy to kill Max, but two accidents in a row will only increase the difficulty of the task...

Everything is related to the task! Tom suddenly realized.

Lance nodded, So, you are suppressing, you have been suppressing, you can't let your emotions leak out. Then it explodes at the right time. The impact brought by the strong contrast is the core of the scene. If according to the way Tom just acted, the irritability is continuously accumulated and always manifested, which is completely inconsistent with Vincent's professional identity.

Michael Mann's version of Killing with a Borrowed Knife won Tom a lot of praise, but he didn't win an Oscar nomination for Tom. This is the reason: the character creation is not perfect, and the main line of the character's emotional changes is not connected with the main context of the story. It makes Tom's performance explosive, but lacks the details that link the preceding and the following.

In the next part that I didn't demonstrate, Max's persistence has already annoyed Vincent, but Vincent can't kill him. As time goes by, Max's resistance will become more and more intense. Sente's irritability will also become more and more obvious... In the end, the transformation of Vincent and Max's strong positions was completed, returning to the core content that Lance said before, Vincent is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, while Mike Si is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, Vincent relied on force to gain the upper hand in the first half, and Max relied on spirit to reverse the situation in the second half. At the same time, the seeds about Rashomon also began to take root in Vincent's mind, and finally successfully germinated in the ending.

After Max hinted at the beginning of Rashomon, they would be interrupted by the traffic police, which brought the first confrontation to an abrupt end.

After listening to Lance's commentary, Tom was dumbfounded. He has worked with many big-name directors in his career, including masters like Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick. Everyone Each has its own strengths. But Tom has to admit that Lance's interpretation of the script and the characters has once again opened a new door for him, not to mention the quality of the finished film, but Tom can believe that in terms of performance, Lance has indeed injected the character Powerful strength - from the core within the script, from the story outside the script.

Crack, crack! Lance snapped his fingers twice in a row, waking Tom up, Wake up, this is not the time to be in a daze. Pay attention, the scene just now is my way of acting, you can use your way Come to interpret and perform, but the context should not deviate from this thought track, the most important thing is...

Restrain. Tom took the conversation, Lang paused, and then nodded, That's what I said. Thanks to the use of lighting and cameras, the details of the performance will be infinitely magnified, so actors need to use To fill in the blanks in my own performance, let these details contain more profound meaning, but it can't be too deliberate or too cumbersome, otherwise it will appear very hypocritical and false. This is the biggest test of acting skills.

Tom, pay attention. Lance pulled Tom's attention back again, Forget your previous acting style, forget your idol baggage, forget your comfort zone, follow the train of thought just now, follow Vincent's The context of the character shows the thickness of the performance. There is an old saying in China that goes, If you don't break, you can't stand. If you break, you can stand. Now, it's time for you to break the frame!
