Hollywood Domination Chapter 434: Life Journey (Chinese)

Although theoretically speaking, it is easier for an actor to act young than to act old, because at least the physical and psychological state of the actor himself has experienced it personally, while the state of the elderly can only be imagined out of thin air. Imitation, but the fact is that with the help of old-age makeup and acting skills, good actors can still play decent old people, but most actors can't play roles that are more than 10 years younger than themselves-especially for Bai For this kind of people, their tenderness period is very short, deep facial features mean easy to wrinkle, and prone to freckles after sun exposure. Generally speaking, this is a dilemma. Their natural skin color is too pale. Proper exposure to the sun will reveal the legendary wheat-colored skin. Without makeup, the pale complexion will be hard to see. But once exposed to the sun, the degree of skin aging will be terrible. In any case, 30 generations will act as 20 generations. In other words, the reliance of the actors is not 'maintaining younger than their actual age', but 'many 20-year-old ordinary people look like they are 30 years old because they like sun exposure and improper maintenance'.

Even so, for actresses of the 30s, or even the 20s, the limit of being young lies in 17-, 15-, and 16-year-old girls. The feeling of growing those thin arms and legs is completely inimitable by the elderly. Maybe you can reproduce the mental state of the year, and even, for some actresses with strong control ability, you can reproduce it. To return to the physical state of the year—but to regain that temperament, that inimitable temperament, this is an almost impossible task. In all British and American dramas, the teenage characters are all child actors, and there is absolutely no older age pretending to be younger, which also proves the authority of this common sense, and Jennifer - if she is not a familiar face to everyone, it is impossible In the case of misidentification, many people wonder if they are dazzled. In fact, this is a young actor who was hired to act... She really looks like a girl in her teens. The feeling of tenderness, the youthful vitality that bursts from the bottom of my heart-it's just crazy, how is this possible?

"Is it due to PS? Special effects? Could it be some kind of face-changing technique?" Alan rubbed his chin, already lost in thought, "Well, but Jennifer has always been thin, which is her advantage... ...maybe she's wearing a bra that cuts down on the cup..."

For Caucasians, the slenderness of a girlhood is an important symbol. The slender hands and feet are easily replaced by plump lines in adulthood, especially the arms. There is no one in a million—that is, it is difficult for models to maintain such arms, but having said that, many child-faced supermodels can continue to play girls in their mid-20s, and they will not give people too much sense of disobedience. For example, " In Magic and Fantasy Show, the 21-year-old Lily Cole is quite comfortable playing a teenage girl, but in the 30-year-old age group, playing a girl with non-childlike hardware? Even if Jennifer does have advantages in some details, this nature is scary enough-of course anyone can try to act, but it can convince everyone that she is a girl in one meeting, and even make people She had the feeling of "whether to change actors or use special effects". This kind of skill is worthy of her honor as an Oscar queen. This kind of power that calmed down the audience just after she appeared on the stage, that kind of feeling full of legends and miracles. It took away Heath's demeanor, and made people feel emotional ups and downs, as if they couldn't vent their emotions if they didn't share their shock with others.

Heath managed to find the hostess in the hotel with pounds sterling. Early the next morning, he got up and went downstairs to have breakfast, and met Jennifer again... Of course, the movie was still very good. During the conversation, Heath found himself a teenager too: he was well-maintained, not the thin, wrinkled type, so with the help of makeup and hair, he looked like an old-looking 18-year-old , this is still convincing, and Heath also performed the unique sense of recklessness of teenagers, but it still can't compare with Jennifer's teenage girl. In the generous morning light, she looks real, like Rewinded by the time machine to 14 years ago, the projected 16-year-old girl——Bright eyes, somewhat suspicious, excited, shy, yearning expressions, and a little fragile, it seems that the voice change period has not been over for a long time, but still It clearly belongs to Jennifer's voice——

"Is this helped by special effects?" Hearing the whispers of the audience around him, Alan couldn't help but look at Jennifer more seriously, "The light must have helped, and the cheeks may have shrunk a little? She looks really small, and she doesn't seem to have grown up—how ​​did she do it? But, anyway, this kind of girlish expression must be acted... I have to say, she really puts the girl Thanks to the acting! ——I just praised Heath's acting skills, and now I have to admire Jennifer. Like Heath, if I didn't know her a long time ago, I would definitely think that this is a sixteen-year-old girl Acting in true colors... After "Monroe", there have been no important literary films for three years. The supporting role in "Nine" has more meaning. She has been acting in commercial films for the past 3 years. I thought her acting skills might become worse. Greasy, regressive, I didn't expect to have the same reborn feeling as Heath, and most importantly, her and Heath's acting styles are very harmonious, without any conflict... God, this film may be more than I thought Interesting!"

"So, what's your name?" Heath and Jennifer quickly chatted, and Jennifer looked at him curiously from above her water glass, "I saw you last night—you look It looks like a newcomer."

"My name is..." Heath's eyes hovered over the entire hotel. He has already noticed a lot of things wrong. Waiting for people's clothes are also very similar to the style of the 1920s, of course, including his own magical age reduction, which makes Heath quite wary and unwilling to reveal his real name. ——And this is why his role interpretation is less difficult than Jennifer's, at least Alan thinks so, Heath's eyes are allowed to have a sense of age, but Jennifer's is not allowed, this is also the biggest difficulty of the whole performance, the eyes With the purity of pupils.

The eyes fell on the Mentos candy exposed from a man's bag. The strange thing is that although it looks like the 1920s, the Mentos candy packaging is still bright and new, without a sense of the times. "My name is Mantos."

"Did Mentos even exist in that era?" Alan wondered with interest. And Jennifer, who has not yet given a name, is obviously also considering the credibility of Mentos. In the end, she sneered, "OK, then I will be called Coke. Nice to meet you, Mentos."

Seeing her cute way of stretching out her hand pretendingly, wanting to shake Heath's hand, Alan almost laughed out loud: This is a little girl pretending to be mature, Jennifer's performance is absolutely amazing!

"Nice to meet you, Coke." Mantos's eyes are also gradually changing, he seems to be a bit of a teenager, no longer the eyes of an adult. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Coke, why are you here? Hurry up, we're going to be late!"

"Hmm... is this a dream?" Alan adjusted his posture, wrapped his fingers around his beard, and pulled it unconsciously, "It feels like a dream, which is naturally absurd, isn't it? In this case, the meaning of the dream Everything has a metaphorical meaning... Interesting, film critics and hard-core fans will go crazy for this, he gave too much material, but what will the general audience think?"

"Is it a dream?" Charles also moved, and communicated with Zade who was sitting beside him in a low voice. "I feel that the elements of the dream are very strong, and it may be Mantos' delusion in the end?"

"Pay attention to some details," Zade said in a low voice and quickly, "See, Coke's clothes are much more shabby than Mentos's. It seems that her family is not very good, and it is impossible to support her daily life. Having breakfast in the hotel, you see, there is only a glass of water on her table, did she wait for Mentos on purpose? She is very curious about Mentos, because he is a newcomer, and Coke is actually very restless Yes, isn't it?"

He took a breath, "Also, remember that in the opening narration just now, the characters of Coke and Mentos are called, she is narrating the story of Mantos, and the town's dream elements are very strong, Maybe you can think that Coke is the projection of Mentos's self, and what you see is actually the real situation of Mentos in his teenage years, poor, restless, wanting to change, longing for love..."

He's always been the wiser one, and Charles can't help but nod frequently in his comments, he finds it very interesting-although this movie is not as clear-cut as "Monroe", Jennifer is amazing , but this form of expression is very new to Charles, and, unlike ordinary art films, he just understands the clues given by the director in this film, which is as interesting as an intellectual game, "then This love is the perfect love that Mentos failed to enjoy when he was a teenager?"

"There's too little information at the moment." Zade stared at the screen intently, "I'll have to watch it a little longer to find out—it's just, **** it, her acting skills have gotten better again..."

"Yes, yes!" Charles also became excited, "This makes people don't know what to say, do you think "Monroe" is her peak? Here she really feels that she has improved a level , but unlike Monroe, where you can't even pinpoint what's good about it, you just totally get into the character with her...*! j.j is amazing!"

In the following plot, the color of fantasy becomes more intense, and all of this is more like a dream—especially the point of "making it up and using it now, whatever comes from it", which has a strong dream feature, and also Therefore, Alan has no resistance to the appearance of elements such as unicorns and elves. He does not think it is fake, but finds it very interesting, "It's so fun-no wonder you want to shoot 3D, Salvi is so capricious, he actually used such a luxurious He is so lucky to be able to find someone to throw money at him and let him do this..."

Because it is in a dream, so all kinds of absurd visual effects are possible, the principle of physics is broken, and the appearance of fantasy beasts? These are all the elements of a dream, and such a story full of metaphors, without a clear main line, is more like an exploratory art film. Generally speaking, this kind of film does not get much budget and can't make much. Gorgeous picture, so this scene on the silver screen has more meaning, it makes people feel more refreshed and absurd, and it really feels like spending money on luxury—seeing a unicorn running Passing through the forest, he stopped in front of Coke, and lingered with her. The one-horn pointed at the audience, forming an excellent off-screen effect. Alan couldn't help but smiled lowly while covering his forehead. "The existence of this movie itself is simply a magical masterpiece..."

After that, the attack of the crow, Coke's indifferent attitude towards the crow, and Mantos' shock by this all had more symbolic meaning in Alan's eyes, "The special effects of the crow are really good. Well, 3d seems to be necessary - a vivid dream, isn't it? The feather is so real, it looks like it must have cost a lot of money, but what does the crow symbolize here, death? Coke is for The attitude of death is so habitual, because she is still too ignorant mentally, so she can't understand the meaning of death? It's like a baby, she is too ignorant, so she doesn't know to be afraid... And what about Mantos, he Already half intoxicated in a dream, but in the final analysis, he is still an adult with a strong attachment to him, and he handles it with a rational attitude-oh wrestling, ah, well done this part , the special effects are awesome, the angle is also good, the cause and effect of the fight, the actions of the characters are clearly explained...Salvi's shots are really amazing..."

Seeing the scene where Mantos was taken away by the crow because of Coke, and Coke cried, Alan couldn't help but trembled slightly again, "Coke's expression--it's great, a complete girl... so What was their love story explaining just now? Damn, I didn’t see it clearly just now... But this is for sure. The story of Coke and Mentos has a strong general meaning. The ignorant Coke is exploring the world around him, sex, Love, of course, and pain, the crow may not necessarily be death, but a negative event in life. For her, these things do not exist, so she has no sense of resistance, but the departure of Mantos represents the world of Coke Invaded by crows, she also began to grow..."

Being carried into the sky by a crow, under the trend of survival awareness, Mantos' fight became even more frenzied. After a thrilling fight, he was thrown into the river and went down the river which was obviously not normal. After floating for a while, he finally struggled onto the river bank and began to trek in the dense forest. At this time, the dense forest has completely turned into a fantasy, with all kinds of bizarre and beautiful animals and plants haunting the forest. The picture is so visually shocking, and this beauty made Alan smack his tongue constantly, and Harry yelled, "So beautiful——I want the original painting—" while Manto Si also began to analyze the uniqueness of this world to himself, while looking for a way back to the town. He made up his mind that he must not be confused by the atmosphere in the town after returning, but to ask for a way out of this illusion. .

After a rather thrilling and ornamental journey, in which every animal seems to be a metaphor for a certain phenomenon in real life, Mantos finally found the way to the town. He couldn't wait to stagger into that dense forest, and at the same time kept chanting 'keep yourself, keep yourself, keep yourself'——

After a shaky running shot, a figure appeared among the leaves in the distance, and Mantos's speed increased, and the camera moved forward faster and faster, and the person in the shot became more and more clear—— Suddenly, Mantos's footsteps slowed down, and he stood there blankly, looking at the blurred figures in the distance——His ecstatic expression made people have no doubt about his current thoughts—" I fell in love with her... This time I really fell in love... That girl is Coke, um, judging by the trailer, she should have grown up?"

Although he was mentally prepared, when Coke in his 20s appeared on the screen, Alan was shocked: "That sense of growth... oh my god, that sense of growth... she—or Sa How did Ervi do it! With similar makeup and costumes...why can the distinction be so obvious? This—how can actors who play multiple age groups be mixed up in the future?"
