Movie Master

Lance didn't speak, and there was only the sound of the video playback on the big screen in the room, but no one dared to destroy this extremely depressing atmosphere, for fear that even the slightest noise would make Lance aim the gun at himself. After the first play, it played the second time. When there was still no other sound in the room, until the third time, the huge pressure made the air almost condense. People couldn't help but secretly exchanged glances, guessing that Lance emotions and states.

At this moment, Lance walked into the house without saying a word, and then slammed the door, the loud bang echoed continuously, startling everyone, even without any words , Such a simple action also revealed that Lance's anger had reached its limit.

Lance left without leaving any words. Everyone in the room looked at each other, at a loss. No one dared to move or speak. Even Albert, Hayden, Percy and the others didn't know what to do. In the end, Percy walked to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and called out hesitantly, Lance? But there was no one in the room. The response was dead silence.

Percy turned around, looked at Albert, Hayden, Emma and the others, and spread his hands, Maybe Lance needs to calm down, or he might really explode. The 10-minute clip was almost completely criticized by Lance, and the leaders of each group couldn't help but blush.

Photography team, team meeting! Immediately! Hayden turned around and shouted, his voice was also full of anger. Obviously, Lance is not satisfied, and the whole crew is in trouble.

Just as the various groups started their meetings, Lance sat in the room but got angry at himself. The anger that could not be vented rampaged in his chest, which made Lance feel a deep sense of frustration.

It is true that the content of the two minutes just now has many shortcomings. Even if they successfully completed the shooting, this one must not be used. There are still many deviations between the rehearsal practice and the actual shooting. They must learn from the failure experience. It is also the reason why Lance watched the replay repeatedly and criticized bit by bit.

However, Lance found that he always adjusted the overall situation from the height of the director, especially the harsh shooting environment and special shooting methods posed more challenges, which almost occupied all of his attention, so that he actually ignored it. The details of character creation and performance.

In the brief performance just now, Michael was the core, and both he and Charlize could only be regarded as soy sauce. However, Lance realized that his performance was unbearable, not only rough and simple, but also a little absent-minded, which completely ruined the role of Max and dragged down Michael's performance rhythm. The content is appalling, and it is basically the level of an amateur actor.

The cruel fact gave Lance a slap in the face, and he began to question himself, whether he was really too arrogant, thinking that the role of Max was not difficult, so he didn't care; Too arrogant, making such a difficult shooting plan, and at the same time taking care of multiple responsibilities such as director, actor, and producer, so that he cares about one thing and loses another; is he really too urgent, the reason why he can't eat more than he can chew? He is completely ignored, he is challenging a difficult problem beyond his ability...

Indeed, every part of the crew had problems, but Lance couldn't deny that he was part of the problem.

In the previous Fury Road, Tom Hardy played the role of Max. Tom's own tough guy temperament gave Max a unique style, but objectively speaking, George Miller put a lot of pen and ink on the visual effects, thus ignoring the outline of the characters. Not only Max, but even the unique style of Nax and the expensive core of Firoza, George did not dig deep. It can be said that Fury Road and Lord of the Rings are the same type of work-the director's style overrides the work.

But Lance is more ambitious. He hopes that Fury Road can be closer to works like Titanic.

Although James Cameron has never been a director who is good at directing skills, and his works have always been dominated by directors, but in Titanic, James has shown the beauty and harmony of human nature. The sincerity of love, which made Gloria-Stuart (Gloria-Stuart) and Kate-Winslet were nominated for Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress respectively-of course, they did not win in the end. From this detail It can be seen that James is really not good at digging the depth of characters, and he is not good at presenting actors' performances.

In Lance's script, without destroying the structure of the script itself, he not only gave Firoza and Nax more characteristics, but also gave Max more depth.

Before the end of the world, Max used to be a policeman/cop, but after entering the end of the world, the world is in chaos, and his identity can't help anything, but why did Max become a cold, ruthless, uncompromising lone ranger in the end? In Fury Road, Lance does not intend to tell too much about Max's history, which will slow down the rhythm of the whole movie, which means how to create Max's image, how to make Max Combined with the storyline, all the heavy lifting rests on Lance's performance.

However, it was obvious that Lance's performance just now failed.

After the end of the world, Max's blood is still full of the elements of eliminating violence and bringing justice, so he bravely stood up and began to help the weak and fight against those who have evil intentions—such as the lunatics led by Undead Joe. However, under such a background, not many people are willing to trust Max. On the contrary, internal struggles are becoming more and more fierce. The bond of trust is like a castle built of sand, too fragile to withstand any weather. Max tries to help each other, Instead, he was bitten back by others, or even worsened. But under the blow of faith, Max still tries to help more people, hoping to unite more people and survive in the last days.

Until one day, people began to take Max's help for granted, began to think that Max did not work hard enough, began to ask for more, and began to question Max's reservations. All the conflicts broke out completely after the death of a mother and daughter. Max tried to protect the mother and daughter. Unfortunately, they were like ants in front of the huge army of Undead Joe. Let alone resist, Max almost It is about to die in Huangquan. The death of both mother and daughter brought a heavy blow to Max, but when they returned to the survivor base, they accused Max of betraying the mother and daughter to Undead Joe in exchange for their own survival. Chances are, those so-called weak people are united and began to condemn Max and even start a trial.

Under tremendous pressure, the last ounce of faith in Max finally shattered.

Therefore, this has made the current Max. When Max meets Firoza, he still refuses to trust anyone and refuses to help anyone. Max's every move is just to survive. He has no chariot or weapon of his own. Using Filosa's chariot and weapons is the best chance of survival, so he and Filo Sha stood on the same front against Undead Old Joe.

The bridge of trust has been built in fighting side by side, but it is still very fragile and may collapse at any time. Until Max saw Felosa's despair, Filosa found her hometown with all hope, but found that the water source of her hometown had also been destroyed and turned into an endless desert. That kind of despair made Max feel the same, so he decided to help Fei Luosha. Rosa, return to Undead Joe's base again.

In Fury Road, Max's emotional transformation is hardly represented by any specific plot, mainly because Max is a reticent character, and it is difficult for him to express emotions, let alone open up. Therefore, this requires Lance to use changes in eyes, expressions, and body language to show the turning point of inner emotions during the performance, which is not only delicate, but also accurate and profound. challenge.

It can be said that Max is even more difficult to perform than Vincent in Borrowing Knife.

Many people have a misunderstanding about performance, thinking that the most difficult performance is the open and closed performance. But the fact is on the contrary. Those explosive moments seem hearty, but the performance process is not difficult; the real difficulty is the emotion that is restrained and delicate enough to make the audience feel emotional. Laymen watch the excitement, and experts look at the doorway. This is what I mean. Laymen want to see the ups and downs of the performance, such as grief, but experts want to see the truth.

Among Lance's current roles, although Jeff in Hard Candy is challenging, it is actually not that difficult to perform. Max in Fury Road is the most difficult, especially in the movie In such a narrow performance space.

For example, in the scene just completed, Lance completely lost his sense of touch and didn't show any acting skills at all.

If Lance's request is only Die Hard, then his performance just now is enough, Max is a tough guy; but obviously Max's role should not be so superficial and rigid. In the performance just now, Max is like a muscle machine that has lost its soul. At best, it is just the T-800 in the Terminator series. There is no performance level, no performance depth, and even the performance has no strength. It's unbearable to look at.

Even Lance himself felt ashamed, the shame burned from the soles of his feet to his forehead, as if standing naked in front of the public.

Now that Lance has finally realized his serious mistake, if the work Fury Road wants to succeed, it is not enough to push the visual effects to the extreme-otherwise the box office of the last film will not be It was far below expectations, he had to reorganize his thinking, and he had to cheer up again. Otherwise... the outcome of failure is already foreseeable, and this is the real source of Lance's anger at himself.
