the independent film prince talked about "Blue Valentine's Day" to Nicole Laporte "The shooting situation; how to walk in and out of love with Michelle Williams; and his days in the Mickey Mouse Club.
Although it is difficult to see through for a while, the pensive expression and sleepy look of the prince Ryan Gosling of the independent film kingdom inevitably aroused people's associations with James Dean. The comparison between the two was opened. He started his acting career at the Mickey Mouse Club.
This matter has already belonged to the past, but not long ago. In any case, Gosling has just entered his first years. A video on the YouTube website can testify, where he and Justin Timberlake, who has not yet grown up, hummed softly. The clothes he wears in the style of the 90s and the clothes of No. 8 appear to be too generous. At the high pitch, his emotional eyes squinted, and at the same time a group of sexually active teenagers screamed. Yes, this is the same Ryan Gosling. Twenty years later, he introduced a cult with a weird character in "Russ and the Real Girl"; because "Half Nelson" won the Oscar for Best Male Nominated for the Actor Award; now he has received more praise for his performances in the two new films "All the Beautiful Things" and "Blue Valentine's Day". "Blue Valentine's Day" will be screened this Wednesday and has already been screened for awards. Gosling and his collaborator Michelle Williams were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance in Drama and Film.
How about going back to the Mickey Mouse Club? Why? Huh?
On a recent morning, sitting in a luxurious hotel in Beverly Hills, Gosling was wrapped in tight jeans, a beige zippered sweatshirt, and a small tattoo on his wrist. He did not evade the question, nor did he show defensiveness, in fact he laughed.
"I was 11 years old at the time," he replied in a hoarse voice with an uncoordinated Brooklyn accent (Gosling is Canadian). "I belong to a dance company, and all the people in it went to the interview, and I went too. I had never auditioned before. I was admitted inexplicably, and then moved to Florida to work for that show. . in
talking about Mickey Mouse club in cooperation with him to become a big star Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Gosling said: "these people are so memorable places, Not only are their geniuses, they are also able to concentrate on their work at that age. What they got was what they were destined to get, they worked hard for it, and then they got it. "When
asked if he was related to that kind of concentration, Gosling said, "No. "When
I got there, I knew that it wasn't my fixed number... I didn't want those things. I want something else, there it motivates me to figure out what it is. "
Now it seems safe to say that he has figured it out. Among his large group of young chasers, he is best known for the male protagonist in the sad movie "Notebook". But with his generation. The other male actors are not the same-James Franco, Jack Gyllenhaal and Toby Maguire can regularly split into low-cost independent films and high-gross commercial films, while Gosling is consistent. Focus on more personal films, choosing difficult and emotional roles; this kind of film is only about performance, not money, or even not eye-catching. Although Gosling’s performance in "All the Beautiful Things" has won In the early 1980s, his role was based on the story of Robert Durst, the heir to Manhattan's real estate, who was suspected of killing his young wife in the early 1980s. (Rex Reid Said Gosling "played a man in madness, showing an unforgettable sample of self-destructive insanity"), this film has different reviews in the film industry, and it has not entered the scope of awards, partly because no one has been able to The funding issuer is willing to fund it to participate in the competition.
Ryan Gosling: "I think'Michelle Williams is trying to kill me'."
Needless to say, "Blue Valentine's Day" shows Gosling's acting genius to a greater extent, considering that it is just focusing on A young couple played by Gosling and Williams has a deteriorating relationship life, and they themselves did not endure such pain. The movie tycoon Harvey Weinstein’s Weinstein Company bought the film. After the preview, the audience complained that the film was too long. The Weinstein host decided to strictly edit the film. It's been a year. This is a typical feature of Harvey. He and the American Film Institute fought for the initial rating of "Blue Valentine's Day" as NC-17 (due to an oral sex scene), and the gambling with profit has caused more publicity. (This rating has recently been changed.)
"Blue Valentine's Day" carries the reputation of an independent film, shaky shots, broken structures, and focuses on mundane suffering and disappointing daily life. It also has some rare performances this year, with the personal characteristics of director Derek Sianfrans. He has worked hard for the production of this film for twelve years and insisted that his actors do not discuss before the filming. .
"When Michelle and I were shooting the first half of the film"-the focus was on Dean and Cindy's love birdie relationship-"We really don't know each other, even though we work together because of this film In a few years, we only had dinner together once. We never rehearsed in advance, nor discussed the character features with each other. So we only met on the shooting set and showed each other in every scene. The director didn’t want us to talk about the movie, he I just want to capture that kind of scene."
Then, Sian France stopped filming for a month to allow the actors to switch to the next stage of their role relationships-when the hope was not fulfilled, they fell into isolation, separation, and began to fall apart. Hair, familiar with each other and feel dull.
In the month of the shutdown, Sian France hopes to "smash the freshness," Gosling said. "Michelle and I try to find time together as much as possible. He also arranges for us to fight. It is an all-weather fight. We will do whatever he wants us to fight."
Williams and Gosling lived in a small claustrophobic house where they used to film the movie (although Williams went home every night with her young daughter), "We burned all the wedding photos, we We are always fighting. We just try to put aside all the sense of humor as much as possible, invade the other’s territory more, and want to drive the other out.”
In order to amplify the realism of the documentary style of the film, Gosling and Williams often Perform impromptu performances and enter extremely attractive lengths in some scenes to convey the desperate feelings of their characters. In one of the scenes, filmed on the Brooklyn Bridge, Cindy has a secret, but she refuses to tell Dean. Gosling said that before the filming, Sian Frances instructed Williams like this: "'Whatever you do, just don't tell Ryan your secret.'" Then he said to me:'I don't care what you are going to do. , But you have to find a way to let her tell you her secret. '"
"Then we filmed for a few hours, and the sun was about to go down-we actually did it secretly without a permit to shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge. If we don't get it that night, we will Won't get it. The sun was gradually setting, she just didn't tell me. So the only thing I can think of to do is to climb over the bridge (with fences on the side). I never thought she would take me so hard, and I got to the other side of the bridge. I looked down, there was only water, so high, all I thought was:'Michelle Williams is trying to kill me. ''
This is hopeless. The pair of children in "Blue Valentine," the face of the press appeared very comfortable, when it comes to rumors about dating, they are denied very sheepishly.
Talking about Sri Lanka Ann France created the unique working atmosphere of playing rivals with Williams. Gosling said: "This is something that is difficult to express, but you are supporting them"-that is, Williams-"because She has reached this emotional realm, and you are trying to destroy her and prevent her from achieving it, because it is contrary to your purpose, so this is an incredible atmosphere. It lures you into this crazy state, but that is what (Sian France) wants, because love makes you crazy. "
That's all he said. He smiled sweetly, waiting for the next question. It is not clear if he has been doing this since he was 11 years old.
