"one more time.
"
"No, again."
"one more time."
Evan Bell's expression was very solemn, without much emotion, just frowning slightly, but after watching Natalie Portman's performance, he didn't say anything, just repeated "again" The words made Natalie Portman perform again and again in front of the camera.
In this scene, Natalie Portman's Nina learns that she has been chosen to be the swan queen in "Swan Lake," which will be her first big break in ballet dancer career. In front of other colleagues in the dance company, Nina remained calm, or rather shocked, and did not recover. Then she went to the bathroom, called her mother in the cubicle, and reported the good news.
The scene was only 30 seconds before and after, but Evan Bell had been filming over and over for nearly 20 minutes. Except for Natalie Portman's own NG part, Evan Bell had already overturned and reshot at least six times. Many, every time without any guidance, just let Natalie Portman do it again, invisible, this makes the atmosphere of the scene also become dignified, and with the increase of the number of retakes, everyone's face They are getting stiffer and stiffer. Everyone doesn't know what happened. They only know that Evan Bell's current situation must not be messed with.
For the crew, they are used to Evan Bell's excellence in the filming process. After all, they have also followed Evan Bell to shoot so many works before and after. But for the rest of the cast, the pressure seems to be getting heavier and heavier on their heads, especially Mila Kunis, who just stood by and watched, and her hands were covered in sweat.
Mila Kunis looked at Winona Ryder and Meryl Streep, who were sitting outside watching the shooting. The expressions on their faces were also very serious. Mila Kunis recalled the day before yesterday. When filming Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman's scenes, even veteran actors like Meryl Streep were reprimanded for the harsh demands of Evan Bell twice. It can be seen that in the process of work, Evan Bell's rigorous and serious attitude does not allow anyone to be negligent.
"Again." Evan Bell's voice came over again. He didn't even shout "card", and didn't wait for the recorder to take the record board to record. The camera was running non-stop, and the entire silent set The sound of the film spinning can be clearly heard, and then Evan Bell's voice is like sharp scissors cutting through the silence, and then it's dead silence again.
Someone wanted to try to remind Evan Bell to make a mark, but was stopped by Robert Faris. He could see that Evan Bell was very dissatisfied with these scenes. use. Looking at the non-stop camera, it feels like a documentary, but Robert Faris can only sigh.
But this time, Natalie Portman raised her right hand to signal a pause to interrupt the shooting, and then she looked at Evan Bell sitting next to the monitor, "Is there anything I can correct? "
Evan Bell shook his head, "No." Natalie Portman frowned and wanted to get angry, but Evan Bell went on to say, "Because all the performances just now were a piece of shit!" Although the scene was very quiet, it was even more silent at this time, making people fully feel the cold wind coming from all directions.
Natalie Portman was not angry, but she also planned to fight for it. She felt that even if the shooting of the scene just now was not perfect, it was definitely not that bad, so she walked to the monitor. Behind him, suppressing his inner anger, he said, "Please play it back."
Nina turned on her cell phone and called her mother. She pursed her lips hard to control her excitement, but when she heard her mother's voice, her smile couldn't be restrained. Erica said at the other end, "What's the matter, is there trouble?"
"No, I'm fine." Nina tried her best to suppress her joy, but happiness still overflowed from her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth. She even trembled in her voice, and the shocking happiness was clearly conveyed. Come out, "He chose me, Mom!" After saying this, Nina's emotions collapsed instantly, smiles and tears almost rushed out at the same time, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Jumping in Swan Lake?"
"I'm going to dance the Swan Queen!" Nina laughed, sharing her joy with Erica. But when the joy surged, the years of hard work and hard work, sweat and tears emerged at the same time, making her cry with joy in an instant. Tears broke through the blockade of her smile and were released wildly from her eyes.
In the thirty-second scene, Natalie Portman watched the monitor play it over and over a dozen times, and the only few NGs in the middle were caused by herself due to various reasons. , and none of them came from Evan Bell. But Natalie Portman doesn't know what went wrong. The emotional release of the performance just now is very accurate, very accurate, and very full, and this is a close-up shot, and there is no background, light, walking, etc. It's a bit of a question, so why has Evan Bell been dissatisfied?
Natalie Portman turned her head and looked firmly at Evan Bell. She doesn't care how famous Evan Bell is now, and she doesn't care how strong Evan Bell's directing ability is, as long as the director can Given the right guidance and requirements, she will naturally follow; but on the contrary, she will fight for it without fear.
"So, where is the problem?" Natalie Portman asked directly.
At this time, everyone on the set watched over, paying attention to how the situation would develop. Usually, Evan Bell is more accustomed to using the guiding method to let the actors play freely during the filming process, but this method is very different for what Natalie Portman or Meryl Streep do to themselves. Clear actors are obviously not suitable, because they all know exactly which direction they want to perform, so if the director is not satisfied, it must be targeted, and direct communication with the role is required.
Evan Bell and Natalie Portman are both very strong personalities, and the similarities between them are not the slightest bit, so when the two people compete face-to-face, the atmosphere is naturally very tense. The day before yesterday, Meryl Streep and Evan Bell had a profound discussion about the performance of a play. Unexpectedly, Meryl Streep was persuaded by Evan Bell, of course. , It is natural for the actors to obey the director on the set, but Meryl Streep can be regarded as the first important teacher of Evan Bell's performance, and finally obeyed, which is worth thinking about.
"You didn't see it?" Evan Bell's aura was not weaker than Natalie Portman. He just sat in the position and threw a rhetorical question with contempt, and immediately let Natalie- Portman could feel his temples jumping violently.
Without giving Natalie Portman time to refute, Evan Bell said directly, "Eyes! Didn't you realize that your eyes were not white swans, but Natalie?" Evan Bell's The words are too pretentious and hypocritical to the ears of the layman, but they are very meaningful to the ears of the layman, such as Meryl Streep.
In fact, in the process of performance, actors rely on these things over and over again, lines, shapes, movements, language, expressions... These contents are all part of the performance, but they have a decisive role in the role, which must include eyes. Here The eyes of a person do not mean that the eyes are the window to the soul, but a person's temperament, which is the soul of a character in terms of art. What kind of character this character is, what kind of state he is in this scene, what kind of communication he is with the actors of the opposite play and the audience, the eyes all play a decisive role.
Going back to the scene just now, the background setting of Nina's character is a pure white swan. She has been controlled by her mother for a long time, so that she has no personality of her own. She is like a good old person. A rag doll at the mercy of others, this kind of personality similar to a kind angel is actually a bit like the heroine of a fairy tale. This is Nina's main character, and it is this main character who controls Nina for most of the story.
In Nina's body, there are two other personalities, one is her mother Erica, this is a controlling personality, and it is the control of Nina's main personality; the other is the inspired black swan~ www.mtlnovel.com~ This is a dark personality, which can be regarded as the opposite of Nina's White Swan personality.
So how should these three personalities be distinguished? Although Evan Bell asked Meryl Streep to play Erica and stripped this controlling personality from Nina's body, the contrast between the two extreme personalities of the white swan and the black swan has to be done by Nina. Tully Portman shows it alone, and the most important thing is actually the eyes.
During the performance of the scene just now, Natalie Portman's performance was really wonderful, perfectly showing Nina's emotional transformation from forced calm to burst of joy to ecstasy and tears of joy. If There is no need to deduct the details, because Natalie Portman's performance is full and complete.
But the problem is that in Natalie Portman's scene just now, there was a crucial emotion missing in her eyes: naivety. To be precise, it was innocent. She didn't understand why Thomas, the head of the dance troupe, originally told her that Veronica had been chosen, but it was her name when the list was finally announced. She didn't understand how it all came about, so In the mad joy, Nina was still a little confused, and then she chose to believe that she had won this role by relying on absolute strength, and the emotion of hard work and joy was released.
And Natalie Portman didn't have this innocence in her eyes and body just now.
