A second ago, everyone was laughing because of lanli's rough and pompous performance; A second later, two actors, lanli and Rooney, were arguing about the chance to make a fool of themselves.
The staff standing next to them were a little stunned. Did they miss something? The only two young actors on the set seem to be a little bit... Abnormal. Wait, are all the actors so abnormal?
When they think about it, they find that they can't remember it, because the two actors have occupied all the thoughts in their minds, just like psychosis. So, this is... The nerve hospital? There seems to be something wrong with the painting style!
The strange vision beside them has no influence on lanli and Rooney. They are completely immersed in their own world, just like every actor, a real actor.
"Emmanuel, can I have a try? Performing under the high-speed iris manipulator
"I haven't finished the test yet. I want to do it again."
As soon as she went back and forth, she did not give in. She immediately widened her eyes, filled with an incredible expression, and argued, "you've just tried once, and now it's my turn, don't you remember? I also have related performance content! Order, in order, will you
"But my performance just now was really bad. I need to find my form again!" Lanli argued without showing weakness.
Rooney still refused to give in. "What if my performance was just as bad? I have to try to know the result. "
Emmanuel was stunned when he stood beside him. He didn't know how to control and deal with such a chaotic scene for a moment. He could only say in a panic, "er... Two, two! You don't have to. Maybe your performances are excellent
"Not necessarily!"
Lanli and Rooney said in unison. The sound of thunder shocked Emmanuel, first shocked and then wronged. Why did they suddenly join hands against him?
Having been wallowing in Hollywood for so many years, Emmanuel, as a top photographer, has seen countless actors. They are always used to praising each other, even flattering each other, because the actors are narcissistic, even proud, and even refuse to accept any criticism; But for the first time, like Langley and Rooney, they have been rushing to belittle themselves.
He always felt something was wrong.
However, the two actors who had been quarreling so much just now joined hands to deal with him in a flash. Emmanuel didn't know what was going on. He opened his mouth slightly for a moment and was in a daze. He couldn't say a word.
In the end, Timothy Webb came up and said, "don't worry, no matter before or after, you need to test again until you adapt to the environment and atmosphere of such performance. With 18 minutes of long opening shot, our fault tolerance rate is very low, and it is much better to find problems in the rehearsal stage than in the official shooting. "
As they discussed before, in the 18 minute long shot at the beginning of the film, the protagonist is Alfonso Caron, not the two actors - they are just a part of the jigsaw puzzle, they finish their work conscientiously, form the whole image, avoid their own mistakes and delay the whole composition.
Now, the two actors are trying to eliminate their "sense of being" and become part of the whole; Similarly, Timothy and Emmanuel agreed.
So, Langley and Rooney took turns to fight.
Originally thought that the rehearsal was over, but before the shooting, the two actors obviously need to adapt again. After all, they are real people with flesh and blood and ideas, not machines and computers made up of a series of numbers. In the actual shooting process, there are still many things to deal with.
First it's Rooney, then it's Lanley, then it's Rooney, and then it's Lanley's turn. It's like... They're in the ride of the pirate ship roller coaster. They're having a lot of fun and laughter.
The two actors are trying to peel off their performance traces, return to the original heart, and show the conditioned reflex of human beings in extreme cases in a more primitive and purer way of performance, showing a more real viewing effect.
After the two actors tried to perform one after another, they quickly communicated and exchanged opinions on each other's performance. Just like the previous staff in the process of arranging technical equipment, no one else could intervene. Only two actors were present in the whole cast. This time, they became onlookers and quietly watched the two professionals finish their work.
From quarrel to communication, from communication to quarrel, the two actors' mode of getting along with each other, in the view of Emmanuel and other staff members, is actually no different from madman. They talk about things they can't understand; But the amazing thing is that they can always find more inspiration.
So Emmanuel understood that maybe actors and photographers are the same, they work in their own way, and then they collide with each other. It's just that the channels of actors and photographers are different, just like those of radio stations. They are two different channels, but they share the same radio wave.
After everything was ready, the filming of gravity really began.
It is obviously impossible for the super difficult long shot to be shot in one go. The whole crew has foreseen the difficulty of shooting; But after the real start, the difficulty is far beyond imagination, and it puts forward a severe test for every department of the crew.
It took two weeks for the crew's cameras to actually work for the first time.
The 18 minute long shot at the beginning is a very difficult task. The real difficulty lies in the perfect combination of various departments like gears, the meticulous completion of splicing in the way of "German craft" to form a delicate whole, and the integration of the vast universe and the grand narrative.
Among them, the specific work of each link, photography, lighting and special effects departments are undoubtedly the most important tasks, taking on the most onerous responsibilities; As for the performance work of the two actors, it is relatively simple and easy. For both lanli and Rooney, there are not too many difficulties. They go to the stage lightly and finish it easily.
The most complex part of performance is not the performance itself, but to adapt to the performance environment.
Just like performing in front of the green screen, the details of eyes, lines, tone and body must be adjusted, because most of the time they are acting in the air; Similarly, when you are in the light box, you must also sit in the basket, and the iris manipulator completes all the movements. The actors themselves interpret the moving scenes in a static state, and they also need to adjust.
As they got used to it, Langley and Rooney began to swim like fish in water.
First of all, Lan Li relaxed and relieved all the burden. Under the absolutely relaxed performance state, he seemed to return to the novice state when he just learned to perform. The exuberant enthusiasm injected a pure, flexible look and changeable lines into the performance, which really made people clap and applaud. The inspiration that he picked up easily made the performance full of a special temperament.
Under the guidance and drive of lanli, Rooney slowly digs out the humor cells under her cool appearance, and tells her farce in a expressionless way. Her light tone gives the story a kind of absurd and uninhibited banter, creating an incredible comic effect.
In the process of shooting, there is such a small plot, Alex and Ryan are maintaining the Hubble telescope, Ryan is the main technician, and Alex is here to help.
In the middle of boredom, Alex began to chat with the correspondent at Houston base, "so, what's the scanning system for?"
"Nothing, Alex, just a new eye for the edge of the universe."
"It's supposed to be medical supplies, but it's a prototype."
In the simple conversation, Ryan always completes his work in silence, while Alex walks around a big circle and comes to the opposite of Ryan. He looks at Ryan curiously, who is dedicated to his work. The Houston base sends a confirmation of his work, "waiting for the lock." This means that Ryan has finished his work while Alex is chatting.
But as if he didn't realize it at all, Alex still stood beside him, swaying gently, taking a space walk, and most importantly, his face was expressionless. It didn't look like a fool at all, but a bit of wandering spirit. Then he slightly tilted his head and said, "they won't fund the prototype, even if you have a pair of blue eyes."
When Rooney said the line, the whole crew was in a daze.
The original script line is: they won't fund the prototype, even for medical purposes.
But during the performance, Rooney just looked at lanli. Through the glass cover of her helmet, the basket was gently shaking, but her eyes were always between lanli's eyebrows. It's an intuition, a performance intuition.
Alex had a little curiosity, but she didn't plan to say it, because she knew that she didn't want others to explore her privacy and story. But that didn't stop her from watching Ryan quietly.
Alex is waiting for Ryan's reaction, and is watched for a long time by a colleague. What will Ryan say? Or what expression?
Quietly, quietly, that line just blurted out.
What's important is that Alex's words are very calm, not like teasing or ambiguity, not like chatting up or testing, but more like a girl with a lack of muscle, who inadvertently tells the truth, and then kills the other party unprepared.
That kind of wonderful gap, people do not know whether to cry or laugh, always feel strange, but can not say why. But then, Ryan's reply and manner made everything perfect.
