Edward Grau, standing in front of the viewfinder, gave an absent-minded glance and said perfunctorily, "no problem."
Alex villagrasa has been busy for 45 minutes for this kind of lighting effect. Seeing Edward's perfunctory reply, he immediately smashed the microphone sponge in his hand and said, "stupid pig, if you continue to be distracted, I'll kick your ass! After the lighter is lit, can you see the facial expression clearly? "
According to the design, when Paul woke up in the coffin, the first light source he used was a lighter. Generally speaking, the lighting space of lighter is very limited, especially in absolute darkness; But this is shooting a movie. If the light is not bright enough, it will not only affect the viewing effect, but also affect the performance of the actors. "Burying alive" is not a work like "Witch Black" trying to create a sense of reality. It needs enough light to present the details of the performance.
Therefore, as a visual effects player, Alex is in charge of sound and lighting. He is adjusting the flame size of the lighter, testing the brightness of the light source, and achieving the effect of gathering light through the hidden reflector; Edward as a photographer, he must test the effect from the perspective of photography.
Edward took his eyes back, focused on the viewfinder, and then switched two different angles to show his specialty. "No problem. However, in the close-up, the angle of the reflector needs to be readjusted. Take a picture from the side, and the lens can see the reflector. "
Alex also went to the viewfinder to change the angle to confirm it, which was in his mind. Standing up straight, Alex saw that Edward's eyes began to float to the side again. He was also helpless, "why do you bother? We're just temporary mercenaries. We're just working on a project. He's an Englishman and he won't come to Spain to film in the future. We won't meet in the future. "
Not far away, Langley sat quietly on a pile of wood, looking down to read the script. His habit of reading plays is very strange. He doesn't recite lines or browse the plot. His vision always stays on one page of plays. He thinks that he is distracted at first glance, and he is not reading the script at all. If you look at it carefully, you can see that he is repeatedly reading the same paragraph, and then he is deep in thought, as if he is engaged in a war between himself and himself.
The good news is devotion, and the bad news is nerves.
"You say, is he putting on airs or has real talent“ After all, Edward didn't hold back. He lowered his voice and discussed with Alex. But before Alex could answer, Edward said, "I think it must be putting on airs. He seems to graduate from high school at most. How can he have any strength? I don't know what happened to Rodriguez. How did he choose such an actor? Did he sleep with Rodriguez? "
In the face of Edward's provocation, Alex knows that he is still worrying about the embarrassment just now - Edward is the big boy with curly hair just now.
In fact, Edward's joke itself is nothing, if it is the kind of face-to-face banter between men, there are countless more ugly, not only will not damage their feelings, but will become their conversation; But if you say bad things behind your back, but you are exposed on the spot, that kind of ugly and humiliating, it's really embarrassing.
No one expected that Lan Li's Spanish was so good. It was like swearing in Chinese abroad. Suddenly, he found that the other person's Chinese was as good as his own. That would be really embarrassing.
Edward was a little annoyed, but Alex didn't want to get involved.
”"Buried alive" there are only eight people in the whole crew, including a photographer, a special effects engineer, a director assistant, a make-up artist, a drama administrator, and then a director, a screenwriter and an actor. In addition to the three core creators, Alex and Edward are just mercenaries. They are not famous professionals, they are just marginal people who have studied by themselves.
As he said, they were hired to shoot the "buried alive" work, and after shooting, they went their separate ways. There was no need to haggle.
”We're going to shoot soon, and we'll know the result, won't we? Is he an embroidered pillow or a rare antique“ Alex shrugged and said indifferently.
To be honest, despite Edward's personal grudges, in fact, Alex is also a little curious about the origin of this Langley hall.
Objectively speaking, lanli doesn't look like a high school student at all. At this time, he has a beard, and his trimmed beard adds a touch of vicissitudes and maturity. His golden brown curly hair, which is not taken care of deliberately, is a little messy. It seems that he hasn't washed his hair for one or two days, and his hair is greasy, sloppy and embarrassed. The only disharmony is his eyes, bright as the stars, shining with vigor and vitality. The flash of brilliance is definitely not 30 years old, but if he is 25 or 6 years old, Alex is willing to believe it.
But even so, it's not easy to play the role of Paul Conroy.
He didn't look... He didn't look aggressive, not bad, but he didn't have the unstoppable spirit of some actors - of course, the understatement of the moment when Edward was in the army was an exception.
After saying hello, he didn't continue to chase after Edward to find out his fault; However, instead of using the momentum to resolve their embarrassment and get together with them, they sat by themselves to study the script. One hour later, he sat there for an hour without being disturbed by the surrounding atmosphere or moving his position. Are you sure it's not autism?
Edward can't predict what will happen after lenley's shooting, or what the performance will look like. Deep in his heart, he also has some expectations.
"Well, wait and see." Edward turned his mouth, wanted to say something more, put a hard word, finally shut up, turned his head, murmured and busy.
Adriana Guerra stood in front of him, waved her hand politely and tried to attract his attention, but failed. Lan Li was still absorbed in looking at the script in her hand, as if she didn't realize that there was a person in front of her. She had to shout, "Sir, sir?"
Lanli just raised his head, his eyes swept blankly, and some slowly focused on Adriana, and his eyes showed a puzzled confusion. Adriana held up her make-up bag. "I came to make up for you. We need to cover up your handsome cheek She made a joke in a teasing tone.
Lanli raised his hand in the script, "I'll pay attention to it when I read the script. It doesn't affect your work." Then, Lan Li sat up straight, lifted the script a little bit and pulled it away, so that he could not only show his face, but also continue to read the script.
Adriana was stunned, her jokes were lost, which made her a little chatty. She could only pick up her mood. She also began to be busy and devoted to the work of making up.
Paul Conroy's make-up is actually not difficult, because it is not beauty, but as close to real life as possible, which truly shows the original appearance of Langley; Or, to be more precise, it's dirty make-up, which shows Paul's embarrassed, sweaty and even oily make-up after being kidnapped.
Adriana quickly finished her work, and she said kindly, "it's done, you can be on camera now“
Lenley lifted the script's hand down, nodded, made an "OK" gesture, and gave Adriana a shallow smile. "Thank you for your hard work“
That touch with a faint warm smile, let Adriana heart a warm, can not help but reply to a brilliant smile, "this is my job. I'm really looking forward to your next performance“ Adriana said positively, but she didn't expect that lanli's attention turned to the script again, and she didn't seem to have the idea to continue the dialogue, which made her embarrassed and her smile stiff in the corner of her mouth.
Staying in the same place for a few seconds, Adriana found that lanli didn't mean to talk at all, and her enthusiasm ran into a big iceberg - she stood here for a long time, not to mention the appreciation of the eyes, lanli didn't even have the idea to look up, embarrassment suddenly surged, "so good luck." Adriana dropped a word, then turned and strode away.
After walking out for some distance, Adriana can't help but stop. She turns around again and finds that lanli still has no response. She is completely immersed in the script. She can't help stamping her feet and strides away indignantly.
Compared with the "Pacific War" production group, the "buried alive" production group is not only smaller in scale, but also disordered in the order of the set, unfamiliar with the business, low in efficiency, and ordinary in organization and discipline of the mercenaries. Fortunately, this is a small production group with few staff and work, otherwise it would be even more difficult to imagine.
Lanli didn't realize that in just an hour, he had become the target of the crew, and he offended inadvertently. Even if he knows, he doesn't have time to pay attention to it, because he has to devote himself to the role wholeheartedly. He is not one of those great performers now. He can enter the performing state anytime and anywhere. He needs to be well prepared before he gets into the show.
"Lan Li? Blue Rodriguez stepped forward, called three times in a row, but still didn't get a response. Finally, he had to shake his hand between lanli's sight and the script. Only then did he get a response, "we can start shooting."
