The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 265 Inspiration

Light, yet rich.

Delicate and complex.

Simple and three-dimensional.

The excitement of this scene was completely unexpected.

Strictly speaking, it is not "completely" because the crew all know the importance of this scene. In action movies, action and special effects scenes determine the lower limit of the work, while literary drama determines the upper limit of the work. This scene is in "Spider-Man" Everyone remains tense as they play a vital role.

The filming itself was not difficult, and all the weight fell on the two actors.

However, the key point is that this is a commercial movie, and the performance does not need to be too complicated. If you focus too much on the performance and try to dig out the depth, it may not only destroy the rhythm of the movie, but also be incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the movie. It will be difficult for the actors to control the proportion. Extraordinarily important——

Especially Anson.

Putting aside the stereotype of a vase for the time being, this is the first time in Anson's career that he has played the leading role in a movie. The protagonist and the supporting role are absolutely different. Standing under the spotlight, whether Anson can show the charm of the character.

result?

What surprised me was not the brilliance of the scenes, but the brilliance of the performances.

Anson really delivered a wonderful performance.

Logically speaking, the focus of this scene should fall on Uncle Ben, because he will say that classic line; but Anson's layered and vivid performance expands the interpretation space of the entire scene.

No one thought that the real magic touch was the silences without lines. The confrontation in the silence, the struggle and hesitation shown by the body language, made the emotion overflow and the beauty of blank space was fully revealed.

and!

The most worthy thing to savor is the blank space after Peter got off the car.

His hesitation, his pulling, his contradictions, his stubbornness, etc., etc., fully demonstrate the confusion of adolescence and pave the way for the subsequent plot——

It was precisely because he realized that his stubbornness and blindness made mistakes, and it was precisely because he understood that his rebellion in adolescence led to disaster, that he grew up overnight.

Standing behind the monitor, watching the figure standing in front of the traffic repeatedly, the hearts of the audience could not help but beat high, because they knew what happened next, and they hoped more than ever to change history and hope that Peter could Catch up with Uncle Ben's car and apologize.

This series of actions immediately enriches the context of the plot.

Obviously, Anson not only understood the characters, but also completely understood the plot. In a limited space, he used the characters' actions to show their psychology, and then quietly completed the foreshadowing, making the characters and plot full.

No wonder!
No wonder this scene went NG several times in a row, including the one where Cliff NGed, because Anson's performance felt wrong and the opposite actor was hurt.

Now, the answer is finally revealed——

It turned out to be the case.

Anson is pondering over how to handle such a scene. If it is over-acted, it will appear cumbersome, adding unnecessary drama and ruining the perception; if it is under-acted, there will be no level, and the idolized performance will be superficial and completely waste the interpretation space, sense and proportion of the scene. Scale is extremely important.

Clearly, Anson knew what he was doing and how to do it, it just took him some time, so he kept adjusting.

On the one hand, the youthfulness of the new actors is fully exposed.

On the other hand, looking at it from another perspective, the new actors have such interpretive and interpretive abilities, and there is no other explanation other than talent.

Involuntarily, it makes people look forward to it.

If Anson is given enough time and space to grow slowly, to what height will he grow? What kind of actor will he transform into in the end?
In a daze, people temporarily forgot about that handsome face.

This is indeed a surprise.

"Stuck!" In an instant, everyone was breathing heavily, exchanging glances excitedly and excitedly, and then it took a moment to realize that their palms were sweating crazily, and they were even more nervous than Anson. Involuntarily, all their gazes were directed towards Gathered around Sam.

Including James Franco and Kristen Dunst.

James has always had a question: why was Anson able to beat him to win the role of Peter Parker?

It’s not that I look down on Anson or slander Anson, it’s just a sense of confidence.

James still believes that he is the most suitable actor for Peter Parker. Even if it is not Anson, James will still have the same confusion if any other actor wins the role.

Today, James' question finally has an answer.

This one is light and just right. Obviously, Anson is more than just a skin.

Confidence is self-confidence, but James does not think he can complete such a performance now. Confidence does not mean stupidity; however, it does not matter. If it cannot be completed now, it does not mean that it cannot be completed in the future. James believes that he can also shine on the big screen. .

So, here comes the question:
In "Spider-Man", how should he develop the character?
On the side, Kristen was also flooded with thoughts.

Unlike James, Kristen believed that Anson had such abilities. She had watched Anson's performance in "Friends" and she knew that the actor was more than just skin. This was why she was willing to audition for "Spider-Man". Sure enough, Anson did not disappoint her.

Now, Kristen is thinking about how the scene between her and Anson should unfold.

How did Mary Jane "see" Peter Parker?
Although they were next-door neighbors, they never noticed it, and later fell deeply in love; moreover, Mary Jane fell in love not with Spider-Man, but with Peter Parker.

As an actor, she needs to show such changes so that the story and plot can become complete. Otherwise, Mary Jane will be no different from the vase in other commercial movies, and the growth story of "Spider-Man" will be missing a crucial part. Ring, after all, is the same Mary-Jane and Uncle Ben character who team up to facilitate Peter Parker's transformation.

In front of her, watching Anson's performance, Kristen also began to think, and inspiration burst out.

Be it James or Kristen, they needed guidance and confirmation. Like the crew, they all looked towards the director——

Sam Raimi was unaware.

His face was serious, with no expression visible, and he still looked like the sloth lightning emoticon.

One second he shouted "Card", and the next second he ignored everyone's attention, looked at the monitor again, played it back again, and entered the world of Spider-Man.

To be more precise, enter the story of Peter Parker.

Sam has not forgotten his original intention. He is not preparing to shoot the story of Spider-Man, but the story of Peter Parker.

There is an essential difference between the two. The former is a superhero movie, while the latter is a youth coming-of-age movie.

This is also the reason why Sam chose Anson. He believes that Anson can bring a different temperament to Peter Parker——

Sure enough, he was right.

Quietly and attentively, Sam watched it back again. His eyes like an eagle's eyes could not find anyone who was not awake again, and he inadvertently showed a touch of satisfaction. The emotional context and dramatic tension of this scene perfectly fit his own expectations of the movie. The concept even goes further to show the level.

He really couldn't ask for more.

He nodded slightly and then raised his right hand.

"OK".

Sam made a gesture——

Wow!
The whole crowd cheered.
