Two young actors in A Quiet Place, Milicant Simmons and Noah Yuppe.
Matt Damon: He has an innate ability to figure things out, he has a natural skill that I don't have, and I'm almost thirty (Matt Damon is actually 48 years old), and he's still a little boy.
——Collaborated on "Lost Town Murder"
Julianne Moore: He's a very smart kid, and you can feel his real emotions when you shoot. I've worked with a lot of kids, some of whom are interested in the technical aspect, but Noah loves the emotional part of the performance.
"Lost Town Murder"
A Quiet Place
The thriller "A Quiet Place" that is being released in China has brought child star Noah Yupe into the audience's field of vision again, and he has made people shine with his outstanding performances in the two films "Lost Town Murder" and "Miracle Boy" released as early as the beginning of this year. In "A Quiet Place", Yu Pei plays his son Marcus, who has been struggling to survive in a silent world with his parents, and in the face of the ferocity of alien monsters, he chooses to take risks for his family.
And Yu Pei in life, although only 13 years old this year, is a "little warm man" in the eyes of everyone, before filming "A Quiet Place", after learning that the actor Simmons who played his sister in the play was deaf and mute, he learned sign language in advance and served as the sign language interpreter of "sister" throughout the filming process.
A Influenced by his parents, he acted in British drama at the age of 10
Noah Yuppe was born in London, England in 2005 with a younger brother and a younger sister. Yupe's father, Chris Yuppe, was a filmmaker; his mother, Katie Kavanagh, was an actress. Influenced by his parents from an early age, he developed a great interest in acting. At the age of 10, Noah Yuppe made a cameo role in the British drama "Downton Abbey", although the role was not much, but this little boy with a pair of big eyes and a cute appearance left a deep impression on the audience. Later, he starred in the mini-series "Night Manager" starring Tom Hiddleston, in which he played hugh Laurie's son, and had a large number of rival scenes with both predecessors.
B Clooney introduced the role of "A Quiet Place"
Therefore, before entering Hollywood, Yupe was already a little famous. In 2017, more and more film contracts approached him, not only in Cedric Gimenez's film The Assassination of the Gestapo, but also in Miracle Boy as Jack Will, the best friend of Auggie (Jacob Tremblay), and in George Clooney's "Mystery Murder". It was George Clooney who recommended him to John Krasinski, the director of the film A Quiet Place.
New Fresh Q&A
Q: In "A Quiet Place", it actually needs to use a lot of sign language, is it complicated to learn? What does it feel like?
Noah Yuppe: Learning sign language was probably the most amazing experience of my life, it was a new and wonderful language for me, and it had both commonalities and differences with English. And learning very quickly with Simmons (playing the sister) and being friends with her is also a great experience.
Q: How do you evaluate this collaboration with other members?
Noah Yuppe: We were like a family on a magical adventure. They're great people, and it's perfect to be able to be with them and make a movie together.
Q: Does that feel scary when shooting?
Noah Yuppei: It's not so scary when you shoot it, but it can scare people when you watch it (laughs).
One out of a hundred, with a unique understanding of the relationship between father and son
In George Clooney's view, casting the role of Nikki, the boy in "Murder in Lost Town," was the hardest thing in the world, "If the audience doesn't agree with the little boy's performance, the film is basically lost." After flipping through the resumes of more than a hundred young actors, Clooney finalized Yupe from the UK. In the end, Yupe did not live up to Clooney's hopes, and successfully played the boy in the film who lost his mother and lived in suspicion and fear. "I've never seen a kid like Noah, and he's definitely a good fit to be an actor."
In fact, this is also based on Yu pei's self-interpretation of the father-son relationship in the film, "The father here is not the kind in the conventional definition, he does not give the child a lot of hugs, nor does he tell bedtime stories, Nikki is always observing and thinking, he feels that no one can believe it." "The acting problem in front of Yupy is not easy, he has to learn how to deal with what happened to him," Nicky is a brave boy, but he doesn't want others to know what he's thinking. The final presentation was also thanks to the guidance of Clooney, who had been an actor and could understand my ideas. ”
In order to communicate with the "sister", learn sign language in advance
Anyone familiar with Noah Yupe knows that he is a well-known actor on the set who is willing to take care of and experience the emotions of others - Milisont Simmons, who played Yupe's sister in "A Quiet Place", is a deaf and mute person herself, and Yupe interacts with Simmons by email before filming, and memorizes the other party's preferences. When Simmons first met Yupe on the set, he learned sign language as early as a week before the meeting, and when the two met, Yupe had already mastered the basic English alphabet sign language, and then slowly progressed from words and sentences to being able to use sign language to chat. After filming began, whenever Yupe communicated with director Krasinski, he would listen intimately to sign language, just so that Simmons could know what the director was saying, and the staff on the set said that he was an extremely caring brother.
Krasinski recalled, "On the last day of filming, when the two were about to say goodbye, they were really clinging to each other, and I was in tears. ”
