Chapter 742

It sounds like green screen acting is not difficult, but it is not. In short, the actor must construct the corresponding picture in his mind and make blind gestures to the air, just like dancing without accompaniment. It's really a bit crazy.

In a way, this is also one of the reasons why the performances of the actors in the super commercial blockbusters are relatively stiff. On the one hand, it is the deviation between the imagination of the brain and the pictures made by the computer; On the other hand, it is the gap brought by the imaginary gap, which is inevitable.

All the films made by Christopher Nolan always insist on live action shooting in order to avoid such a pattern. Paul Greengrass insisted that the whole scene was built in the studio out of the same considerations.

If it's just to perform in the air, it's not difficult for Langley. In stage performance, one-man play is a compulsory subject, and many classic plays are one-man play. It's not just monologues. Actors need to be alone on the open stage to experience the characters' various emotions and experiences, even nightmares, fantasies, conversations with God, and so on.

The real difficulty of this play is that the green screen acting skills are mostly fighting with the air, or fantasizing that they are comic characters, and their hands can produce Qigong and so on. As children, they always like to play like this; But when you grow up, it's embarrassing to repeat it.

What's more, today's play is not only about green screen acting, but also about hanging Weiya, explosion, impact, rolling and frontal fire. At the end, cage and Rita have the only tender moment of the whole movie: a kiss before parting. It can be said that this play is definitely a problem among the problems.

After entering the studio, a lifelike ruins seem to be completely barren after the war. But true to life, it will be discovered that stones are not stones but bubbles. Glass is not glass, but a special material; In fact, steel is not steel, but high-tech synthetic heat resistant materials.

A crane is parked on the left, and the huge lifting manipulator looks spectacular; A track is laid on the ground in the center, the front end is equipped with a camera stand, and the rear is a trailer, on which is placed the helicopter frame outline made of special materials; In the front corner, the special effects engineer is making smoke, testing the effect of smoke release, making the ruins look more realistic.

The staff of the whole crew are in full swing for final confirmation, including the running track of the machinery, the running position of the lens, the expected effect of the picture, and so on. Even if the late computer effects can complete most of the screen requirements, but the scene still needs to be perfect, more importantly, the security issue must not be careless.

With no hesitation, lanli walked straight towards the crane, stopped between the crane and the helicopter model, looked at the staff who were confirming the binding of the equipment, and yelled, "Hey, Jordan, how are you going?"

Jordan-o'neil, a 25-year-old stuntman, specializes in action and drag racing. Young, but in the industry has been rolling for two years; However, for a stand in actor, the similarity of appearance is an important advantage, and his height is relatively high, and his figure is relatively not so strong. Now the group of action actors in the front line can't use him as a stand in actor, so he mainly rolls around in TV dramas.

This time, "tomorrow's edge" became Jordan's first movie stand in. His overall figure is very close to lanli's, and his height is only one inch shorter. Even his hair is similar in bright brown. Coupled with his agility and sophisticated experience, all these make him the perfect choice for lanli's double.

Before shooting "speed and passion 5", lenley's Hobbes didn't have a drag racing scene and only had three fight scenes, so he didn't use a stand in at all. So do van diesel and Paul Walker, who have professional drag racing doubles, but fight scenes themselves.

But "tomorrow's edge" is different. There are a few extreme actions in the movie. For example, in the next scene, cage falls out of the helicopter, but grabs a fixed rope and hangs it outside. When Rita speeds up to the Louvre, cage is like a kite flying outside. In the storm, cage keeps hitting the ground and getting involved in the wind and waves. Finally, when the helicopter stops, cage flies out.

This series of movements are not only very difficult, but also require special skills, so professional stunt actors must be used. Even if Lan Li wanted to fight in person, he was powerless.

Raised his head, Jordan showed a big smile to blue Li and made an "OK" gesture. "Rehearsal has been done several times, no problem. What, are you going to follow the process again? "

"Well. I'm going to be equipped later to prepare for the connection, so come back and have a look. " This is obviously not the first time, Langley skillfully went to the side, watching Jordan's preparations.

Hanging outside the helicopter, the kite flying part will be completed by Jordan. The mechanical arm of the crane will hang Wyatt and let Jordan bump in mid air. In front of him are four large blowers to ensure the fierce effect of firepower suppression. At that time, Jordan will use his own professional skills to perform the effect required by the director.

After the helicopter hit the glass pyramid, Jordan will finish the broken line part of the kite, but at the same time, blue Lee also needs to finish, because after rolling down, there is a close-up of the middle. The director has prepared two sets of shooting plans. One is the fixed medium shot, which captures the scene that cage enters the state of preparation immediately after landing; One is to use his best hand-held photography to follow cage's steps and gradually open the prelude to the climax of the showdown.

Paul Greengrass is more inclined to the second scheme, but the actual shooting effect still needs to be confirmed. However, it is certain that both of the two schemes require lanli to show his face, so lanli needs to fight in person; Paul will use the alternative scheme only when the presentation effect fails to meet the expectation. That is, Jordan will complete the part of the broken line and roll of the kite, and then quickly switch the lens to connect with the picture after the landing of the lanli.

There are many different ways to make a movie, and the effects are various. If the actor can not achieve the effect in the director's mind, the quality of the finished product is bound to be discounted, which is one of the reasons why it is very important to choose the cast.

On the "edge of tomorrow" of the last life, Tom Cruise's performance is a little stiff, not only in the literary drama, but also in the martial arts drama. To some extent, age and physical condition still affect the quality of finished products.

In order to achieve the perfect effect of Paul's idea, Langley has been fighting side by side with Jordan, rehearsing the whole scene repeatedly, making the whole scene as smooth and seamless as possible under the condition of ensuring safety. Not only that, in the case of green screen shooting, lanli also needs more immersive feeling, and walking with Jordan, which is undoubtedly of great help.

"It's suggested that you get the lazy ass rolling well, then there's no problem." Jordan joked with a smile.

It's fun to work with Langley. He is not the kind of person who often talks about thanks, nor the type who doesn't see people during the shooting period, and who deliberately comes to hiss after the shooting - in the eyes of most actors, the stand in actor is not an actor, just a member of the staff behind the scenes; He's a matter of fact, dedicated type. They get together to discuss the shooting of the whole play. He also asks about the shooting skills of some special effects. He will also appear on the set with the stand in to work

There is no special treatment, but the stand in as a peer actor, conscientiously into the work. It's called respect. In addition, Paul Walker and Lamy Marek, who are always happy to get together with them, and Donald Glover and Jennifer Lawrence, who occasionally come to talk, are always happy and relaxed.

The lazy donkey rolls. This is the Chinese martial arts term that Jordan learned from Lan Li. At that time, Lan Li also demonstrated it, which successfully made everyone laugh.

Instead of speaking, Lan Li squatted down, turned two bodies and simulated the action of a lazy donkey rolling. Then he deliberately straightened up his chest and gently shook his head. His eyes were sharp and resolute, his shoulders were straight and strong, and he stood up slowly and slowly, with the momentum of "I'm the hero, I'm a hero, I'm a handsome guy, I'm full of charm", At last he said, "what's up? Is my Hollywood pose hot enough now? "

An action, not only Jordan, around other staff have burst into laughter.

This is the laughing point of their live special effects group -- Langley ridicules the heroes in the American main melody action movies, "tiger", "mission impossible", "Raider", "007" and so on. Even if they are in a mess, the hero has to be handsome. With the director's slow motion feature, he exudes the smell of hormones all over his body.

Lanli said with self mockery that he should also cooperate with such an action, otherwise the whole film will be in a mess, which is too subdued. It doesn't look like the hero of a super commercial blockbuster at all.

"Lan Li! Blue Jordan pinched his voice and began to scream like a little girl. He cheered and yelled and responded to Lan Li, which made the laughter around him even more boisterous.

At this time, Abby mills, who came by, didn't know, so he looked at the audience with fog and water and asked, "what's the matter?" She thought she had a problem, looked down and said, "is there something wrong with my shape?" The expression of the question mark made everyone laugh more happily.

Lan Li shook his head with a smile. "What can I do for you

"Yes, you need to go to the venue now. We have a final rehearsal, and then we will shoot. Other departments are ready." Abby did not continue to pursue, but insisted on his post of drama, "do I need to explain the seats and movements of the whole play again?"

"No. Let's get started
