In the work "Drunk Village Folk Song", Lan Li found true artistic resonance. In the last life, he was yearning, longing and marveling, as if he saw a life he had dreamed of but was afraid of trying; in this life, he was empathetic, as if he could see his own shadow, and even the shadow of the album "Don Quixote".

In fact, "Don Quixote" and "Drunk Village Folk Song" seem to be the two sides of the lake reflected, reflecting each other, and also tell the story of Don Quixote who is always walking alone in the cruel real life.

Obviously, the Coen brothers and Renli held similar ideas. They heard the belief and persistence in the song "Beast", and they also heard the dreams and longings in the album "Don Quixote". So, creative inspiration burst out, and they appeared in front of Renli, eager to try and send an invitation.

Thinking carefully, the "Drunk Village Folk Song" is indeed like a work tailored for Lan Li, and Levien seems to be the projection of Lan Li's art works.

They also came to New York alone, pursuing their dreams; they also played and sang in a small bar, and changed their life because of a folk song; they also faced the intersection of giving up and compromise, but resolutely chose to be stubborn to the end; they also created an album, placed on the bookshelf at home, waiting for the knowledgeable people to explore.

The only difference is that in real life, "Don Quixote" has achieved success, but no one cares about the album "About Levitra" by the protagonist in the movie story.

In other words, Levien Davis is Renli Hall who failed to pursue his dream; to be more precise, after Renli failed to pursue his dream, he struggled for fifteen years, and then became Levien.

This was a bit terrifying. If Ren Li hadn't had any communication with the Coen brothers, it would be impossible for the two brothers to write the scripts realistically based on his experience. He would almost have the illusion of time and space disorder.

Wait, or in other words, there was a Levien Davis in the previous life, but because of Renli's rebirth, he replaced his position, and then his fate trajectory changed? Or, like the "butterfly effect", Renli Hall's real experience was indeed adapted into "Drunk Country Folk Songs", and finally became the version seen by Chu Jiashu in the previous life. So who traveled through time and space and changed history?

After circling around, my thoughts became a little dizzy; after breaking the chaotic guesses and speculations, Lanli's vision on Joel and Ethan suddenly became playful, but the two brothers were confused and waiting for Lanli's following with confusion and expectation. The urgent eyes made Lanli laugh.

There is no doubt that this is the work that Lan Li longs for the most, loves the most, and is greedy for the most, and that kind of feeling of rushing in his chest; not only because this is another form of "Don Quixote", but as if he saw Heather Cross again, but also because the character itself is very challenging.

The character Levien Davis carries the weight of dreams and reality, and also carries the weight of the entire era. On him, the confusion, difficulty, bitterness, irritability, self, arrogance, unruly, mixed and unified, contradiction and harmony are mixed together, outlining a vicissitudes of life under the wave of folk songs.

In fact, this is an extremely difficult character to grasp, just like David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Dave Van Rank, Cott Coburn and others. These artists are always filled with a unique temperament, which transcends the constraints of the skin itself, and are in a unique way of making moves and making unruly moves, but they are uniquely charming.

Maybe, they are all so bastards; but again, they are all so charming.

Levien in the movie is like this.

Levien, who is homeless and has nowhere to stay, has lived with the professor's friend's home for a long time. The professor and his wife regard him as an artist. Not only does he provide sofas, but he also has delicious food, but Levien gets angry at the dinner table and throws away the professor's and his wife's cat.

In Greenwich Village, the couple Jim and Jane are also long-time sofa providers of LeVian, but LeVian secretly secretly goes to Chen Cang with Jane and makes her pregnant.

In addition to friends, Levien also has family. His sister lives in Queens and always takes him in, but he dislikes her. "You people outside the entertainment industry are just 'showing presence'."

...

Undoubtedly, Levien is a bastard, terrible, self-righteous bastard; but many details are hidden in the Coen brothers' script, vividly outlining the softness and fragility of this bastard.

In fact, Levien loved Jane deeply. The only time he said "I love you" was dedicated to Jane; but unfortunately, Jane chose Jim, but the life Jane wanted was something Levien could not afford. Furthermore, Jane and Levien's different attitudes and pursuits towards art and life doomed them to be unable to get together. So Levien silently waited aside.

But then, Levien unexpectedly discovered that even the dark and utilitarian cafe owner had a relationship with Jane. He was just one of Jane's list, which made Levien, who had always been careless, lose control of his emotions.

He is a bastard, but an irresistible bastard. Just like those great artists, only by completely disgusting him can we avoid falling in love with him.

How to show Levien's badness without making the audience hate him; how to grasp the detailed characteristics of Levien's image without making too much effort; how to present Levien's level and depth of personal charm in a restrained performance without falling into the stalemate of exaggeration... All of this is a severe test.

Playing LeVian is a difficult problem; and it is even more difficult to perform LeVian well.

In his previous life, Levien Davis was starring Oscar Isaac. His performance can only be said to be just average and did not cause too much response. He only received a nomination for the Best Actor in Music Comedy in the Golden Globe Awards, and all nominations for other performance categories were lost. Compared with performance, his singing skills in the movie were more appreciated.

Under the lens of the Coen brothers, Oscar Isaac's performance is relatively restrained, minimizing the changes and ostentatiousness of expressions as much as possible. He accidentally falls into the crisis of facial paralysis, and more of Levien's depression, loss and depression, presenting the wandering vicissitudes of the folk poet who has nowhere to rest.

But in comparison, the lack of details has led to the audience making a wrong judgment on the "stolen/love" relationship between Levien and Jane, and then making a wrong judgment on Levien's artist image.

The audience simply and roughly thought that Levien had betrayed his friend Jim, but in fact, Jane was always restless, and Levien was just one of them; more importantly, Levien was really deeply involved in it, but Jane watched coldly. Even if it was pregnancy and abortion, Jane just threw the burden of guilt and guilt to Levien and stayed out of the matter.

Similar details are lost, but they are fatal negligence in character creation.

So, unfortunately, Oscar Isaac failed to get more performance recognition and missed a role such a profound and full of Levien Davis.

But in fact, for Renley personally, he likes Oscar Isaac's performance very much.

In his performance, there is always a kind of natural sadness and vicissitudes. This temperament is very charming. It perfectly matches the wave of folk songs, poets and folk songs, giving the whole movie a addictive texture, which makes the viewing process very comfortable and comfortable, and also leaves a deep impression on the actor.

Sure enough, I often saw Oscars in other works, "Mechanical Girl", "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakening", "X-Men: Apocalypse", etc., which also proves that Hollywood insiders and Ren Li adhere to the same idea.

Performance skills can be learned thoroughly, but performance temperament is natural and innate. At this point, the Oscar version of "Drunk Country Songs" really makes Renli love it.

However, if Renli Lilly performed Levien Davis, he would definitely not be able to use the Oscar Isaac method, not because of the original performance, but because Renli had already broken away from the rut of imitation and embarked on his own performance path, and because Renli and Oscar's temperament and style are completely different, the roles are naturally different.

So, how should Renly perform?

Now that just thinking about it in my mind, Lan Li couldn't help but become excited. "Drunk Village Folk Song" is completely the work I dreamed of, just like the "love crazy" that was the first time. Lan Li couldn't wait to join the crew, start discussing the role and script, and start studying performance and shooting.

Strictly speaking, it is even more immersive than "Love is crazy", because it tells the story of Renli's own story, the difficulties and confusion in the previous life, the struggle and persistence in this life, and everything is mixed with the role of Levien Davis.

Closed his eyes, Levien's every move and smile were deeply imprinted in Lan Li's mind. There was no need to think or describe, nor do you need to conceive or grop. The familiarity deep in the soul naturally burst out, filling his entire chest, and crowded to the point of overflowing.

Perhaps, this is the most important challenge in Lanley's career and the most difficult challenge.

But the problem is that he can't, he can't nod and agree, he can't star in this work. When he realized this, Lan Li began to lose uncontrollably, sitting in place blankly, with a hint of regret and helplessness in his eyes, and a heavy mood began to fall slowly.
