Movie Master

According to Lance's idea, Hard Candy will still feature Hailey as the protagonist and Jeff as the supporting role, presenting a two-player show. But the focus of the performance of the whole movie will be on Jeff's shoulders.

Especially after Jeff changed from being a hunter to a prey, the change of mood will become the development that affects the main line of the story. From the extreme denial at the beginning, Jeff needs to make the audience feel sympathetic to his situation and make everyone believe in his Innocence, thinking that Hailey is just a delusional lunatic; the shame, grandeur, and anger when the secret is discovered, at this time, the audience's anger is required to be pushed to the extreme, and Jeff's reaction stimulates the audience's emotions even more. He had to be on Hailey's side, and even wanted to execute the punishment himself. This part was also the most difficult part. In a short period of time, his emotions had to be detonated, and Jeff's face would determine success or failure.

Then Hailey began to perform castration. Jeff was completely meat on the chopping board and had no ability to resist. This also caused the audience's emotions towards Jeff to become mixed. On the one hand, they were angry because of his identity as a fetishist, Knowing that such a habitual offender must be severely punished; on the one hand, he was frightened by Hailey's cruelty and blood, and even seemed to sympathize with Jeff's situation.

After entering the second half of the story, Jeff began to try to escape the restraint. He once had the opportunity to end the disaster early. The 911 number only needs to press the call button, but he chose to kill Hailey , Cover up the facts, as if he killed Donna in the first place. As a result, he had a physical conflict with Hailey.

During this paragraph, the audience's emotions are always vacillating, sometimes on Hailey's side, and sometimes they can't completely reject Jeff. Until the shock of the ending comes, the situation of Hayley and Jeff will make the audience have their own reflections, and the thinking has just begun after watching the movie. The prey and hunter positions really complete the transformation.

It can be said that Jeff needs to be disgusting and sympathetic, repulsive and terrifying. Such a role is inherently intricate, and the script leaves very limited space for the performance of the character. The actor needs to grasp every shot, every turning point, and every detail to bring out emotions. Not only the acting skills, but also the acting spirit field. Perhaps, just a glance is enough to impress the audience.

In The Silence of the Lambs, Anthony-Hopkins (Anthony-Hopkins) dedicated such a performance. In just 21 minutes of performance, he won the Oscar for Best Actor. This is also the appearance time in film history. The shortest actor winner.

In this work, Anthony has almost no redundant body language, and only uses his eyes and speaking to reflect Hannibal, a wise, elegant, personable psychology professor and man-eating monster, even if he does not say a word, Anthony's performance is also full of charm, making the audience have mixed feelings about him. On the one hand, they hope that something will happen to him and the beautiful heroine, but on the other hand, they are full of fear for him. You can never guess what he will do. What will be done in one step.

This image is also one of the most successful roles in the history of film.

Of course, Jeff and Hannibal are still different. Hannibal is the one who controls the initiative, and the emotions of all the audience are always in his hands; while Jeff is the one who is forced to take the initiative. Moreover, he lost his own initiative in the movie, and the audience's emotions towards him are very complicated.

But it is undeniable that if Lance can write this role as expected, Jeff will undoubtedly be a role that shines on the big screen.

This made Lance involuntarily start thinking: If he were to play this role, how would he perform?

Raising his eyes slightly, he tried to catch Haili's line of sight, but lowered his eyes in a panic, but then he raised his eyes again, looked at Haili calmly, and tried to persuade Haili to turn himself into an adult with a mature tone. untie. But Hai Li didn't intend to give him a chance to defend himself, and forced him step by step, which made him a little flustered, Pedophilia! When Hai Li said this word, his pupils began to vibrate violently Then, the deepest secret in his heart was uncovered in a corner, and that kind of fear almost made him want to go into a hole in the ground and escape quickly.

No, it's too superficial, it's too obvious, and most importantly, it doesn't fit Jeff's psychological trajectory.

When the secret was about to be revealed, Jeff's first reaction was cowardly, wanting to escape from reality, as if he had chosen underage children as a safe haven to avoid the reality that Genelle left him, and his first reaction at this time was also want to escape. At this moment, he should be crazy, reverting to the typical characteristics of sexual/pedophiliacs-impulsive crimes. But it wasn't just madness. After a moment of madness, shame and fear should follow. Underage children were originally his safe haven, but they were discovered at this time. That kind of cowardice almost swallowed him, as if the whole person About to collapse, but have to arm themselves. The last was denial, he subconsciously denied it, as if refusing to admit that Genelle no longer belonged to him, denying reality, but his denial seemed guilty and impetuous, like walking on a high-altitude rope.

So, it shouldn't be the avoidance of sight in the first place, and it shouldn't be the pupil shaking.

He took a deep breath, as if all the muscles in his body were stiff, he stared at Haili intently, his eyes suddenly lit up, but before he had time to express his emotions, he lowered his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly , the blue veins that slowly emerged on his neck could show his suppressed emotions, but then he lowered his head, twisted his body uncomfortably, trying to untie the rope on his body, his struggle was so powerless, because of the shame in his eyes Cowardice and cowardice are occupying all his mind, he has no intention to get rid of the shackles at all, he just wants to cover up the secret again.

There was a thin layer of mist covering the bottom of his eyes. Fear, panic, timidity, escape, shame, and mixed emotions lingered in the mist. Hai Li's words were like a dagger, stabbing him again and again. , removing his disguise little by little, which made him unable to breathe.

Shaking his head, shaking his head gently and weakly, he tried to adjust his breathing, but found that his chest was stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he couldn't breathe fresh air at all, No, no... He made a meaningless The syllables, the saliva wet the lips, and the lips began to tremble slightly, Look, look! He clenched his teeth, stopped Hai Li's words, blinked, and those misty eyes flickered Looking innocent, I've been lonely recently, okay? He was like a wounded child, complaining aggrievedly, So I did something stupid, but I'm not a pedophile.

Lance gasped, pulling the emotion out of Jeff's world. The performance just now was more about expressive acting, which is something learned from Broadway. It can be freely switched between drama and reality. Even so, Lance still felt that it took a lot of energy and energy. A short 30-second performance , but contains too many emotions.

However, Lance felt that his performance just now was still inaccurate. On the one hand, he withheld too many details, so either his emotions were not in place, or he tended to exert too much force; on the other hand, he still didn't know enough about the characters. Under such circumstances, Jeff's reaction should be more mixed. However, whether it should be more out of control or more controlled still needs to be further slowly figured out.

At the same time, Lance felt that there was still a problem with his way of expression. Jeff's skin was a mature man with a successful career. He was able to hide for so many years without being discovered, which showed that he still had a certain ability to remain calm. The current situation is very special. He is facing an underage girl. Generally speaking, he is very good at handling the relationship with children, which is the part he is most confident in. Secretly, the conflict situation is on the verge of breaking out. At this time, will he collapse?

In the process of thinking about it just now, Lance felt that he was a little too greedy, as if he couldn't wait to interpret the complexity of the character, but instead fell into a routine, and the performance was far from being wonderful.

This is a very interesting thing, although Lance will not call himself a master of acting skills, but the experience he has accumulated over the years, and the fact that he has stood in the position of the director to examine the overall situation all the year round, coupled with the personality of the third generation, all these are enough to make Lance can maintain a calm enough state of mind to look at a brand new character and analyze it rationally, just like when he borrowed a knife to kill; however, today Lance seems a little impatient, because of anticipation, excitement, and jumping, the performance is a little out of control , eagerly like... Emma.

This made Lance chuckle. In the last life, Patrick's performance was indeed wonderful. If Patrick is used again, even if he can't reach the height of classics, he can be sure that he will not disappoint. Now, though, Lance has other ideas: He wants to play the role of Jeff.

Challenging such a difficult role requires not only courage, but also a lot of work, and during the performance, it will be a kind of torture for the actor's energy and physical strength. What's more, Lance is likely to continue to stand behind the camera in charge of the guide tube, and the difficulty of the work will increase exponentially. It is far more difficult than the period of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Even so, Lance still wanted to play the role. This kind of impulse has really been absent for a long time. It seems that the enthusiasm and persistence that once boiled in the blood have begun to burn again.

This reminded Lance of Emma's words that day, What if you love running?

Lance grinned.

Sir, do you know that it is very impolite to suddenly start to lose your mind in front of a beautiful woman, and she is such a beautiful woman. The hoarse voice sounded in front of him, and he could see Seeing Scarlett's graceful figure, she raised her right foot and placed it at the end of the bed, bent slightly, fully showing the proud curve of her breasts, grasping a pair of flesh-colored stockings with both hands, slowly, slowly Wearing it up, you can still hear the sound of sparks bursting out of static electricity in the air, making your mouth dry.

Lance couldn't help but withdraw his attention, admiring the wonderful scenery in front of him.
