Adriana raised her hand almost reflexively to cover her mouth. The next second, the scream was snuffed out in her palm. She widened her eyes and looked at the darkness in front of her. The fire went out again, and the whole warehouse fell into darkness again. She could not even see the outline of the coffin, but... But the tears quickly piled up in her eyes. The surging emotion completely drowned her and almost retched.
It's hard to imagine. It's still hard to imagine even after experiencing it.
Just with the rhythm of breathing, just with the sound of physical collision, just with the sound of deep throat, the struggling in the desperate situation has been fully displayed, deeply moved the soul of every onlooker. Before he realized it, he had already entered the world personally - as if he was trapped in a coffin, It's like you're in danger. Everything was so lifelike that emotions began to derail and get out of control.
The hot tears wet the back of her hand, which scared Adriana. She didn't even remember when she last shed tears, but just now, she really couldn't control it. Before she realized it, the tears had already fallen down.
"Card!"
Rodriguez's voice slowed for half a beat and finally began to ring. It reverberated in the open warehouse, like rootless duckweed, some seeping, but it finally made everyone react.
The light turned on half a step later, the light yellow halo slowly dispelled the darkness, and the warehouse gradually brightened up, dragging everyone slowly from the movie story to the real world. The confusion and uneasiness of returning from the fantasy to the reality made everyone in a commotion. They avoided their eyes one after another, covered their confusion and inner fear——
The despair just after the lighter was on, cruelly and bloodily killed the hope that had not yet sprouted. All the shock was hidden in the lost focus of the pupil, deeply imprinted on everyone's body, so that when I saw the light, I wanted to run away instead.
Adriana turned abruptly, wiped the tears on her cheek to hide her embarrassment, and then walked quickly to the side to escape.
Edward opened his mouth wide, wanted to say something, but found that all the words were stuck in his throat, so pale, so powerless, so poor - the reality of that moment was like a blade across the skin, making all the hairs stand up, and he wanted to turn and run away immediately, but his body was trapped in the same place, just like trapped in the coffin, The suffocating panic and the fear of death hold their throats firmly and open their teeth and claws.
It suddenly occurred to him that before shooting, he just sat quietly and looked at a page of the script. He didn't turn the page for nearly an hour.
What's the content of the script on page one? His memory was a little blurred because there was almost nothing on the first page. His heart suddenly contracted. Edward quickly turned around, looking for his own script, but he was a little stumbling. He almost fell down. His muscles were out of control because of the surge of blood.
eureka!
Edward flipped through the script and saw the first page.
(in the dark, Paul gradually wakes up, finds the lighter in his hand and lights it up.)
(Paul pulls the cloth from his mouth and looks at the coffin.)
Paul: help! help!
……
That's all. That's all. Just two sentences, just two sentences - more accurately, what they just shot was just the first sentence, but the real effect... Was so shocking!
There is no lens scheduling, no lighting assistance, no director's editing, it is completely a mirror in the dark, all the weight is on the shoulder of the actor. However, lanli, a young man who didn't look as good as Mao, gave a wonderful performance; Step by step, delicate and complete, clear structure, less than two minutes of performance, but brought a tsunami like effect.
When he closed his eyes, Edward could not help shivering, just like the withered leaves in the autumn wind. He could deeply feel Paul's every emotion in the desperate situation, deep into the bone marrow, so that when the darkness came, he began to fall into fear reflexively.
Now, Edward finally understood what Langley was doing before shooting. With repeated reading, repeated speculation and repeated thinking, Lan Li turned Gong Gong's whole sentence into a gorgeous and dazzling reality, which is really turning corruption into magic!
Looking up, Edward's vision was a bit at a loss. He was just an ordinary photographer. Before that, he had shot two works without much influence, and his partners were all local Spanish actors. He never really felt the power of the film, nor did he really witness the power of the performance, so that he was at a loss now.
Finally, Edward's eyes fell on Rodriguez. He tried to speak, only to find that his throat was very dry. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and called out, "Rodriguez."
Rodriguez's face was full of bright light, his eyes were shining, full of sunny excitement and excitement.
"Is that why you chose him as the leading actor?" Edward knew the answer in his heart, but he couldn't help asking. Members of the cast have read the script and naturally know the key role of the hero in the work.
Rodriguez grinned. "No, in fact, his performance today is far beyond my expectation." Rodriguez savored it carefully. Compared with the last time in New York, today's lenley's performance has an indescribable flavor. He has no way to describe it, and is not sure whether it is because of the previous closed experience, but he can be sure that the next shooting will be more worth looking forward to, "you know? He asked me to audition. "
Rodriguez himself could not say where this pride and pride came from, but his mood just couldn't help flying.
"Rodriguez?" A stuffy voice came from the wooden box and interrupted the conversation between Rodriguez and Edward. All of a sudden, everyone in the warehouse cast their eyes.
Rodriguez walked quickly, because the first scene needs to make full use of the echo of breath and the narrow space, so the lid of the wooden box is covered, but the bottom is completely open; In addition, in order to facilitate the capture of the camera, the wooden box tilted slightly, so a mound of earth was piled under it, so that Lan Li's feet could step on it to help.
Rodriguez came to the end of the wooden box, squatted and asked, "lenley?"
"How was the shooting?" Lanli asked if he could, in fact, lanli wanted to go to the back of the monitor in person to have a look, but it was too troublesome for him to go in and out of the box, and he needed to keep this tight state, so he gave up his plan to toss.
Rodriguez was stunned, which reflected that he didn't look back at the shooting. "Wait, I need to confirm it again." Rodriguez was in a bit of a mess, patronizing, shocked and amazed, even forgetting his job as a director.
Standing up quickly, Rodriguez came to the back of the monitor and began to look back. I didn't expect that other people came up one after another, watching every move on the screen.
Two minutes, 120 seconds. It's too long and boring for a long shot; However, this is not the case. The whole performance starts and changes in one go, without any waste and redundancy. The performance fills the story full without exaggeration, and introduces the audience into the story appropriately without losing tension.
It's impeccable.
Rodriguez is also the first time to know that the so-called performance, not only lines, not only expressions, not only actions, every detail about people can become a performance. Especially in the last shot of the opening performance, the spreading pupil contains incredible power, which directly cuts off the hope that the bud has not yet been completed. It is so cruel that it makes people despair and even can't rise the emotion of resistance.
But a look, but has changed.
Such a difficult part of the play, Lan Li is not only a mirror through, but also gives more meaning. Rodriguez can imagine that in the next part of the play, when Paul starts to survive, the audience's mind will undoubtedly follow his every move, and the ups and downs of the turning point and tension have already laid the groundwork here. it is beyond logic and above reason! It's incredible!
"Perfect!" Rodrigo raised his voice and said that he searched all the words in his mind, but still could not describe his inner excitement. Finally, he could only say again, "perfect!"
Lanli's voice came stiffly from the wooden box. "Good. I'm ready to continue shooting."
"Oh, yes, yes." Rodriguez nodded and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Second scene, now let's start the second scene."
Everyone began to be busy again, but Edward was still in the same place. Rodriguez had to step forward and pat him on the shoulder to refresh Edward. Edward seemed a little out of his mind. However, after adjusting his breath, he was full of energy and immediately put into his work. His state had changed dramatically, and the whole person became active.
Edward went to the wooden box and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... Please forgive me for being rude." "Pause." anyway, I'm sorry. " With that, Edward quickly turned away.
When he was ready, Rodriguez turned his head and was about to tell everyone to be quiet. However, he found that everyone consciously stepped back ten steps away, for fear that his breathing would disturb the effect of the shooting; At the same time, everyone closed his mouth tightly, looking forward to the quiet wooden box.
"On July 15, the second scene of the first act of 'buried alive', the first attempt," Rodriguez said
