British drama master

 　　When he was young, he had light blond hair and deep amber eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned. When he closed his mouth and was silent, he looked arrogant and sexy; he had a frown between his brows, which appeared when he was not smiling. Very serious, yet calm and gentle when he laughs. He is a gem of British theatre, a mentor to young actors, his pronunciation is a "proper noun" in British theatre, his name in Hollywood stands for a character of a certain kind, and he is often eye-popping. Turned down important TV and movie roles simply because the schedule conflicted with his stage play. Now in his 60s, he is often a little confused by the teenage faces at fan meetings, and he probably has a hard time believing that his charisma has such a wide-ranging lethality.

　　He is the master of British drama - Alan Rickman.

　　Alan Rickman was born in 1946 to a working-class family in Hammersmith, London. He is currently the Deputy Dean of the Royal Academy of Arts and Drama, a famous stage actor, director and voice actor.

Having won two Tony nominations for Best Actor in a Play for his two stage plays, "Dangerous Relationships" and "Private Life," it seems like the Tonys won't be able to turn down Alan Rickman once he's on Broadway. For most TV viewers in the UK, Mr Slopp in the 1980s BBC's "Bachester" was his most memorable early TV role, although Mr Slopp was a villain.

　　He won a Golden Globe and an Emmy in 1996 for his performance in "Rasputin," and again for his role as Dr. Alfred Blalock in the 2004 film "Miracle." Nominated for an Emmy. In 1996, he cooperated with Ang Lee and starred in "Sense and Sensibility" as Colonel Brandon, and won the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination.

　　In 1995, Rickman was selected by Empire magazine as one of the 100 sexiest movie stars in movie history, and ranked 59th on its "100 Greatest Movie Stars of All Time" in October 1997. In 2003, he was named the 19th greatest living movie star over the age of 50 by Empire magazine.

　　

　　Velvety voice

　　

　　Many people who know Alan Rickman think that he is the role of Professor Snape in "Harry Potter", because no one but Rickman can have a A "velvety voice" like Professor Snape in the book?

　　In real life, people are very sensitive to sound. As an excellent actor, in addition to his superb acting skills, Alan Rickman has captured the hearts of a large number of fans with his unique "AR cavity", and has made himself irreplaceable in the drama and film industry. status. Alan Rickman's voice is low, and he speaks calmly, often with a little special ending, and always sounds lazy, elegant, and sexy. When roaring, the thickness of the voice from the chest and the way of biting words in the English accent make his role naturally intimidating - and therefore, Rickman has never played a "little person" in the true sense, Because of his unique voice, he always makes his character a little "tempered".

　　Rickman has a new title, "The Vocie," after playing "The Rage." It is said that since the voice of God cannot be heard directly by mortals, any admonitions and instructions that God has for human beings are conveyed by the Archangel Metarot played by Rickman in the film, becoming a veritable "spokesperson of God". Rickman's performance is indeed very good. Metaro's majesty, bad temper and cleanliness are undoubtedly revealed in his sometimes serious and sometimes impatient tone of voice, and his mesmerizing voice also makes many audiences sigh, "It's really A precious gift from God to Rickman".

　　In fact, Alan Rickman was born with tight jaw muscles, and even had dysphonia when he was young. The "lazy" of AR's accent now probably stems from this physical defect. However, Rickman is well aware of his own shortcomings, so he also pays great attention to his voice training, which makes his voice not only unique to him, but also varied and expressive. In "Die Hard" Rickman realistically imitates an American accent that is completely different from his original voice: the terrorist leader Hans (Alan Rickman) and the lone hero New York police detective McCain The scene where Len (Bruce Willis) meets each other is heart-pounding...

　　

　　CO-STAR and the villain The

　　

　　so-called "CO-STAR" is usually translated as a co-star, but it is actually the main supporting role. Alan Rickman can be said to be a late bloomer in film and television performances, and mainly participates in the "CO-STAR" way. Such as interviews with Hans in Die Hard, Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility, Professor Snape in Harry Potter, True Love The editor-in-chief in Supreme", etc., and due to Alan Rickman's superb acting skills and unique temperament, the light often overshadows the protagonist, so the director had to subtract a large number of his shots to maintain the protagonist's position in the film. But Rickman has always seemed to care less about whether he can play the leading role in the movie, because for him, he is still most obsessed with stage performances. CO-STAR's participation method is more flexible and will not affect his stage. rehearsal of the play. The director of "Doctor Who" once urged Rickman to play Doctor Who, but Rickman refused to be bound by such a lengthy TV series.

　　If CO-STAR is Rickman's own choice, then the positioning of the villain makes Rickman somewhat helpless. The earliest play in which Rickman was almost buried alive by a fan's letter was the Royal Shakespeare Company's "Dangerous Relations", in which he played the protagonist Walmont, an emotional liar and a ruthless conspirator who first made the BBC's Audiences remember him as the ambitious priest in "Bachester"; as Rickman's first Hollywood film "Die Hard", the elegant and darkly humorous terrorist leader Hans The wonderful performance of the role made him an instant hit in the United States, but it also made him have to bear the titles such as "the best villain" and "the most elegant terrorist" for a long time; "Robin Hood" The line "Cancel Christmas" by the Sheriff of Nottingham in the movie is a classic, but it was also forced by the director to cut the scene aggressively because the audience in the screening was overwhelmingly supportive of the "evil" Sheriff instead of the protagonist Robin Hood. In an interview, Rickman also showed a trace of unwillingness, saying that he didn't want to play such a "villain" at first, but the director agreed that he could make the role more flesh-and-blood. The finished product left a lot of his efforts behind the scenes. He also showed two very different kinds of affectionate feelings in "One House, One Ghost and One Lover" and "Sense and Sensibility" respectively, which were equally touching: in "Guests of the Galaxy", he let the audience see that he was "seriously serious" funny" side; in "Miracles" he became the first pioneer of successful cardiac surgery in medical history... Some of these characters are close to his nature, some are diametrically opposed, but Rickman shows Gotta be at ease. He could have failed the driver's license test in his life because he was "too slow and too cautious at the green light", while galloping along on a motorcycle in "Big Adventure". Even the most demanding drama critics would have to be convinced by his acting skills.

　　In the minds of Hollywood directors, though, if a character has dark humor, surly, and a touch of villainy, it's an "Alan Rickman" type of character. Although, the name has become like this

The "signature" may not be what Rickman wanted.

　　

　　Alan Rickman Out of the Spotlight

　　

　　Alan Rickman is very low-key in life, but that doesn't mean he's an introvert. Maureen Patton once said in his biography of Rickman: "He rarely gave interviews, but once he did, the interviews were more like a military conflict."

　　Rickman was not used to things Often outspoken, his erudition is reflected in both his witty humor and poignant irony. Of all the characters, the one he rarely mentions and doesn't want to talk about is "Professor Snape". He believes that letting children discover that this character in their fairy tale world is related to someone in real life , is a confusing, even cruel thing to them.

　　Alan Rickman considers himself a pessimist, but his attitude towards life is extremely serious. He is a trusted and enthusiastic friend in the eyes of many people, and a respectable mentor to some juniors. But this serious attitude also gave him a reputation as "difficult to get along with". Jason Mews, one of the main cast members of "Rage", memorized the entire line before rehearsal, just because he didn't want to piss off Alan Rickman. In fact, Rickman is only stubborn when he creates characters, because he really thinks about each character as a living individual. Arguing the plausibility of the character's behavior. He is extremely assertive, which some directors find unruly. Playwright Stephen Davis once said of Alan: "He speaks casually and sometimes arbitrarily. He does have a formidable side to the character he plays. Say something to someone who is nervous, don't try to talk nonsense in front of him."

　　Although Rickman has played some impressively ruthless characters, in reality he is very sensitive. He doesn't read drama reviews because he feels vulnerable. The most horrific memory for him is the criticism he received for the way he pronounced Antony and Cleopatra at the National Theatre premiere in 1998, when he nearly lost the courage to return to the stage. In general, Alan Rickman's drama road has been bumpy. He did script reading in some small theaters in the early days... Fortunately, he survived.

　　Rickman's classic characters always have an aristocratic elegance from the bottom of their hearts. Because of his perfect performance as Colonel Brandon in "Sense and Sensibility", it is amazing: "This is the last gentleman in England!". He has the same temperament in life, but Rickman has always considered himself a working class. He is a member of the UK Labour Party, supports socialism and often has some politically considered radical rhetoric. On weekdays, Rickman never deliberately pursues simplicity, but also maintains a simple style. It is his political ideals that allow him to maintain a noble character in this scandal-ridden entertainment industry, and thus gain the respect and trust of others, living up to the name of his "mentor".
