Hollywood superstar XX history [travel]

Li Ang said: "Lance told me about you and Jack..." Seeing Vogt immediately put himself on guard, Li Ang laughed: "Relax, Vogt, I'm not trying to criticize you."

"Are you sure? You come from the conservative East." Vogt clasped his hands on his knees, his amber eyes stared at him sharply, and lost his obstinacy in front of Lin Jiahui for a moment.

After three months of getting along day and night, Ang Lee has a relatively clear understanding of Vogt's changeable personality.Childish and mature, naughty and stable, cheerful and gloomy, dull and sexy, etc. These conflicting and changeable personalities are one of the important reasons why Vogt can deeply integrate into the role, because no matter how the role changes, there will always be more or less. At least some popular and common characters are needed as the cornerstone of character creation. Vogt's changeability allows him to interpret a part of himself. As long as he refines this part of himself, he can achieve a role.

This talent is precious and unique.Ang Lee finally understands why Vogt's family has repeatedly emphasized that he is an acting genius.Vogt indeed is!

"Voge, I have no intention of interfering in your emotional life. You are an adult, and if you make a choice, you must be responsible for your choice. Besides, no one can make decisions for you." Li An comforted.

"...Even if I'm gay?" Vogt asked cautiously.

"If you really are." Li An frowned, but still said seriously, "As an elder, I don't want you to be, because this road is very difficult. At the same time, as an elder, I will respect you sexual orientation, as long as you can get happiness. Vogt Pfister, are you sure you are gay?"

Vogt was silent, and after a while, he suddenly made a grimace: "Le, you won, I'm not sure yet!"

Ang Lee smiled and said humorously: "Well, although I said I would respect you, but you are not sure, I am really relieved. I am afraid that your aunt and your mother will think that "Brokeback Mountain" is broken You, settle accounts with me together!"

"Then you can tell them that Vogt is already a bad boy without being taught." Vogt spread his hands exaggeratedly.

Li An looked at him: "Are you sure I can escape their blame by saying this, instead of getting worse and being dealt with?" Speak ill of the two mothers who protect the calf?

"Oh, this..." Vogt blinked, "Uncle, you can try it."

Li An nodded at him from the air: "You bad boy!"

Vogt laughs!

"So, what's your point?" Since it's not about interfering with his love life, regardless of whether he's gay or not, what's the matter with Li An's attitude of having a long talk?

"Let's talk about your performance, Vogt." Ang Lee said gently.

"My show?" Vogt looked up.

"As a director, I don't think I'm very bad. Do you agree, Vogel?" Ang Lee asked modestly.

"Without a doubt." Vogt nodded.Although Vogt doesn't have a lot of performance experience, Ang Lee is very kind and patient as far as the directors he has come into contact with.For a film, the role of the director is very important.This is a work that requires creativity and burning inspiration. It visualizes abstract text expressions and schedules all resources that need to be scheduled, such as character modeling, art design, photography, lighting, soundtrack, etc., and controls and integrates them into what the director wants to present. The effect is equivalent to a chief helmsman, which is an extremely test of skills.At least half of the quality of the film is borne by the director.Under such circumstances, many directors will be tempered due to various reasons such as the need to streamline the budget, box office pressure, poor performances by actors, fatigue caused by long hours of work, exhaustion of inspiration, etc., but in Ang Lee, it is very This is rarely seen.He generally does not vent his bad emotions on others, but achieves the effect he wants through a lot of patient, detailed and sharp communication.Jack once said that Ang Lee's way of directing is comfortable.The whole crew respects and obeys Ang Lee because of his good communication and tolerance.

Even Vogt, who was called around by Ang Lee, couldn't find anything wrong with Ang Lee's directorship.Vogt benefited greatly from his guidance in shaping the character.

"I have some simple insights into how actors behave, would you like to hear it, Vogel?" Lee said.

"Hey, don't hesitate, just speak up! I'm listening." Vogt was stunned by Ang Lee's way of talking in circles, and said simply.

Ang Lee considered his choice of words, and said slowly: "Voge, I must admit that you are a very talented actor. The characters you created are very convincing, and you are smart enough to understand the director's intentions, adjust Your state. In you, I see some characteristics of experiential actors. I have to say that you have given me a very big surprise. Only very few actors have this talent. It is foreseeable that there will be many directors in the future I want to work with you on a film..."

"But?" Vogt raised an eyebrow.

Ang Lee continued: "However, Vogel, I am very worried about you. As far as I know, you have not received formal and systematic acting education. I am curious where your skilled acting methods come from? On the level of acting, you Like a newcomer who has just set foot in the film industry, it seems that he has been tempered. Of course, this may be your genius side..." Li Ang turned into a mutter after speaking, "Instinct, inspiration, without embellishment!"

Vogt thought he was thick-skinned enough, but under Ang Lee's praise, he rarely blushed with embarrassment: "Hey, uncle, you are too flattering..." It's hard to say that his proficiency in acting came from his previous life Ten years of hard training, right?

"I know you didn't get into the show that deeply at the beginning, but you still know you are Vogt's, right?" Ang Lee said firmly, "Jack inspired you? I have seen his previous performance materials, and he is also A very talented actor, but with Brokeback Mountain, he was beyond normal."

Vogt smirked.Ang Lee's guess is very accurate. As for how he and Jack stimulated each other, there is no need to elaborate, right?

"Voge, in the end, both you and Jack performed with an open mind. This is what I have always hoped that you can do, although the process is not what I expected." Ang Lee's voice lowered, "But it is obvious that the filming is over. Finally, Jack knows how to adjust his on-screen and off-screen state better than you, and Vogel, you haven’t fully come out of the role. Am I right?”

Vogt opened his mouth, and under Ang Lee's understanding and insightful gaze, he touched his nose with a wry smile and nodded.

"I've always been like this, uncle, whether it's the Phantom or Ennis, I've always been like this." Vogt tried to describe this feeling, "I know I've returned to reality, but my body, my emotions ..." He stretched out his hand and twirled his cheek, "You know..."

"I don't think you're in love with Hayley Atwell, Christine of the Phantom." Ang Lee said, "I guess Ennis is in worse condition than the Phantom, what do you think?"

Vogt was speechless, he thought for a while, and said seriously: "Drama is different from film, uncle. Let me put it another way, Hayley's 'Christine' didn't touch my 'Phantom', my 'Phantom''s 'love' for Hayley's 'Christine' is blind and fierce, like a blazing flame, but after burning, only ashes are left, shallow and ridiculous. Moreover, opera can be completed in one go, the way of expression Exaggerated, deviates from the behavior pattern of normal people, the beginning and end of the relationship are very complete, not as real as filming, it takes a long time to adapt and a highly unified performance state... well, what am I saying? You understand me Do you mean, uncle?" He looked at Li An begging for help.He couldn't analyze how he acted at all, and he acted naturally anyway.

Ang Lee said: "Not necessarily, Vogel, acting theater and film have a lot in common. What I worry about is your mental state. 'Playing different people' and 'becoming different people' are expressionistic and methodological. The difference, the situation of the experiential school is a little more serious. People who reach that level will more or less have mental problems. But if the problem becomes an obstacle or collapse, it is a disaster. Vogue, the speed of your drama is worrying Ang Lee felt something bad about Vogt's "love" for Jack when he saw the news of Jack's death.If acting profoundly affects normal life, it is definitely not a small thing.As a director, of course he wants the actors to have shocking acting skills. As for how the actors recover in private is their problem, it has nothing to do with the director.But Vogt was still a child in the family to Ang Lee, so he was particularly worried.If Vogt has no effective way to adjust his state, Li An would rather he not join this business.

In fact, Vogt also felt that his mood was really not very good. Lance lived with him, and he had already secretly asked him if he needed to arrange a psychiatrist.Vogt replied angrily and rudely, "I'm not crazy yet," and Lance didn't mention it again.But obviously, he found Li An.

"Also, Vogel, do you usually watch a lot of Chinese movies?" Ang Lee asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"Your performance gives me an oriental feeling, delicate and restrained, not like Hollywood style. There is no problem playing Ennis, he needs this delicate and restrained acting style, but if you plan to get involved in fast-paced commercial films, it will It will drag down your acting status." Ang Lee was confused and worried.If a film only requires 20.00% of acting skills—most commercial blockbusters only require this much, but Vogt uses [-]% or more every time, his spirit and psychology will definitely not be able to stand it in the long run.

"What do I do?" Vogt's inability to act was out of his control, and he couldn't help it.

Ang Lee said solemnly: "My suggestion is, take acting classes, Vogel, first broaden your horizons in the field of actors, and continue to hone your acting skills. You are still young and have great plasticity. Then, Hollywood has such example, learn from them, set a cutting point for yourself, and control your performance. I know it's difficult, but no matter what, you have to work hard..."
