Interview with Gosling： Replicators are more humane and like to be called ＂Commander Gao＂ the most.

Ryan Gosling starred in Blade Runner 2049.

Special feature of 1905 film network After thirty years of silence, ridley scott finally wrote a sequel on the big screen. Previously, this film has been enshrined in the temple of science fiction films, and everyone looks up to it. Too many fans and audiences hold awe and admiration for it, and they are crazy about falling into this apocalyptic vision of the future shrouded in gloom and gloom. Many new films and music albums in later generations were deeply influenced by this film, and other films were almost in the same strain. In Cyberpunk culture, blade runner is undoubtedly an insurmountable peak.

Blade runner has always been regarded as a classic.

This film was once praised as "unprecedented and unprecedented", which must have put pressure on the creators of the sequel. However, after a long and difficult creation, the film is easy and determined, and slowly repeats to the audience the sobering question 30 years ago: What is human nature? Is the soul unique to people? Trying to visualize the essence of life, even just walking on the edge, is a thrilling dance step.

Blade Runner 2049 explores the depth of life.

If the original is about the breadth of life, then this sequel will go further and ask the depth of life directly. On the eve of the North American release of Blade Runner 2049, we talked with Commander Gao about shooting those things. As a veteran fan of blade runner, Commander Gao seems to have been immersed in the excitement of participating in the sequel creation. For him, this is an extremely precious and supreme honor.

(The following contents include spoilers)

　

"blade runner" is very different from 30 years ago, and 2049 is more extreme.

　

In Los Angeles, Sony Studio was full of people, and suddenly there was a lot of noise. Commander Gao came in and bowed his head and took some snacks from the buffet bar. He is wearing an eye-catching red sweater, and he is tall and burly. flax gold’s hair color blends with gray-blue eyes, and his facial features are three-dimensional, revealing the breath of wisdom and cunning. It is hard not to attract everyone’s attention. There was a commotion among many fans around me.

　

Hearing the sound, he looked up and greeted everyone with a smile, which really made people dizzy. Seeing this man up close, you can quickly understand why he is called a "girl killer". Although he often interprets some cold characters, it is difficult to capture the sense of alienation in himself when he is not performing.

　

Unlike many superficial people, Commander Gao’s fascination with the original works has definitely reached the level of iron powder. He was in the shooting place with some friends — — Wandering around the unique Bradbury building, pretending to be "blade runner". He also made no secret of his admiration for the original: "I watched blade runner when I was very young. This movie is impressive and will leave an indelible mark on your heart. Participating in telling the story of this series and becoming a’ blade runner’ is really incredible and extremely exciting. "

　

Commander Gao once wandered around Bradbury Building, pretending to be "blade runner".

　

Undoubtedly, the complexity of blade runner itself is the premise that it can be interpreted multiple times, and its rich spiritual connotation is very advanced in many aspects. When asked how the sequel deepens the theme of the original, Commander Gao himself understands it this way: "The original has established the basic system of the world setting of blade runner, so we can swim in it quickly and go straight to the theme after the completion of the existing world. This is of course a luxury and luck. I think this film asks questions similar to the original, but in a completely different way, and the different roles also make the level of the question more rich and delicate. "

　

Originally, I thought that the role setting of Officer K would be exactly the same as that of Harrison Ford’s character Deckert, but in fact, K is not a re-description of the original protagonist. Although he is defined as a clone without soul in the film, this role is unique in both emotional and ideological dimensions.

K and Deckert dash.

The difference between K and Deckert deserves more attention.

　

When talking about the similarities and differences between K and Deckert, Commander Gao also emphasized the differences between the two roles: "Obviously, they are both’ blade runner’. However, I think the difference between this film and the original is that the function of’ blade runner’ has changed in 2049, and the whole world is very different from the previous one, becoming more extreme in all aspects. So although they have something in common, there are more differences. "

　

Shortly after the opening of the whole film, the lieutenant played by robin wright asks K to find the children of Deckert and the clone Rachel and get rid of them. The fluctuation of K is moving. His eyes were confused, and his expression showed his longing for the soul: "I have never killed a natural person … … Are they different, born with souls? " In this scene, Commander Gao’s control of facial expressions is in place, conveying the inner perception of the characters with subtle movements that are not easy to detect, and accurately presenting the ups and downs of the characters under the iceberg appearance, which is his good performance. K has started the process of independent inquiry from obedience to hesitation and fear.

Commander Gao’s control of facial expressions is in place.

　

Copying people is more humanized than human beings, which is the feeling of Commander Gao after playing K. In fact, "more like human beings than human beings" is also the motto of tyrael, the "father of replicators" in blade runner. Taking this opportunity, I put the century problem that has been debated endlessly — — "Is Deckert a natural person or a clone?" Thrown to the high commander. But he has been through many battles and is very cunning: "Ridley thinks he is a clone, but Harrison thinks he is a human." When the great gods discuss the results, we will naturally know. "

　

How to describe and understand K’s behavior and psychology? "All the moments will disappear in the passage of time, just like the tears in the drowned rain" — — This role will remind people of the exquisite poems in the original.

　

The construction of real scene helps to shape the role. Commander Gao is the director. Muse not only performs, but also writes.

　

Although the world of Blade Runner 2049 is not the first, the overall tone of the film is immersed in the personal aesthetics of the director denis villeneuve, from the misty ruins of the yellow sand to the vast giant waterfall, as well as the holographic girlfriend bathed in the rainbow-like light, and so on. The screen picture he weaves is deeply fascinated and lingering.

Denis villeneuve’s personal aesthetic style is impressive.

In the interview, Commander Gao mentioned the director many times, and thought that the other party’s unique determination in creation and the choice of production details had a profound impact on the actor’s performance texture, which was very helpful for shaping the role: "After arriving in Budapest, it was very helpful to discuss with the director and explore the situation of the studio. My role is the reflection and projection of the world in which he lives. The actual investigation of the studio has helped me a lot in shaping my role. "

　

"They built these studios in a real-life way, and most of them are real venues with traces to follow, and the scale is extremely spectacular. I thought I would use CGI and green screen, but Dennis decided to present the whole picture of his future in an entity, which is undoubtedly a very bold and risky decision, and it also benefits all of us. "

Director denis villeneuve decided to present the idea of reality.

　

Commander Gao, who personally played the piano in the film and inspired Mia’s interview, was not satisfied with being an actor in Blade Runner 2049, but also wrote a play for his role. When shooting, in addition to the "benchmark test" scene inherent in the script, the crew filmed an 8-minute version written by Commander Gao, which was longer than that in the script. But at the moment of filming, everyone on the set felt that they had witnessed a dramatic performance with great appeal.

Commander Gao wrote a play for his role.

　The "benchmark test" is somewhat similar to the "human nature test" in the original work of that year, but the former is obviously more pioneering in technology and significance. In view of the fact that "blade runner" in 2049 often killed the same kind of people when performing their duties, their mental state should be tested and evaluated accordingly. The director spoke highly of the play: "When you start making a movie, there will always be a scene where people feel that they have touched the core of the story." He once praised Commander Gao and Ford, calling them his muses: "They contributed a lot of great ideas."

Commander Gao is talking with the director on the set.

The creation of this film was extremely difficult. At that time, the director was greatly shocked after seeing the script. He said that the only condition for his consent to direct was the approval of Master ridley scott himself. The old man allowed the young talent to splash ink freely. He said that whenever he needed help, he would provide support. So what’s the challenge of filming Blade Runner 2049? Commander Gao said frankly: "The most challenging part is to make a sequel to a’ master masterpiece’. To a certain extent, we shoulder the responsibility of paying tribute to the original, and part of the core spirit of the original is courage and fearlessness. Dennis should not only be loyal to the original design, but also dare to make bold self-innovation, and the two need to be compatible and symbiotic, giving people the feeling of natural transition in connection. "

The atmosphere of the four people’s discussion was warm.

At the end of the interview, I mentioned the nickname "Commander in Gao". I was interviewed for one day. Originally, he looked a little tired and his eyes began to wander. He immediately stood upright and jumped for joy, revealing a proud smile like a child: "I love it! That’s the best name I’ve ever had. (I love it! This is my best name! ）”

　

After Blade Runner 2049, will Commander Gao, the "heartthrob", step out of the comfort zone of independent films and participate more in large-scale production? His eyes have always been sharp, and perhaps the selection of new films in the future will mainly depend on the quality of the script. At present, Commander Gao has reunited with the director of la la land, and is filming a biography of astronaut Armstrong who landed on the moon. On the long road of shaping a difficult role, it seems that he is never satisfied with the status quo. He always sets off quickly and throws himself into a new journey.
