"They won't fund the prototype, even if you have a pair of blue eyes." Alex said so, the calm tone creates a subtle atmosphere, but people can't say why. Especially speaking to men as women, it's more interesting.
Ryan, who has just finished his work, seems to feel a little uncomfortable. His brow is slightly frowning and he is adjusting his breathing. Then he hears this sentence, pauses for a moment, and then raises his eyebrow tail gently to cast his eyes.
Ryan didn't speak, but looked at Alex with a serious squint. The embarrassment spread slowly in the dimension of time, and gradually became thorny. The pause was a little long, one second, two seconds, three seconds... And it seemed to continue.
Just when everyone thought that Ryan was unprepared and didn't know how to respond, so that he created a conversation accident. The awkward silence was slowly spreading, creating a disaster scene. Then, Ryan spoke.
"I think if it's as deep and blue as your eyes, then there's a chance." Ryan's words didn't have many ups and downs, and even had some rigidity, but the soft light between the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth revealed a moment of ridicule, and the absurd joy burst out bit by bit.
First of all, lanli's eyes are not blue; Secondly, Rooney's eyes are not blue. As a result, the dialogue between Ryan and Alex becomes a different one
It seems that Alex intends to flirt, deliberately flirt with Ryan, in the case of weak light in space, and separated from the helmet, can not see clearly, but she still so solemnly expressed praise; But Ryan was not at all grateful, and responded by Tucao. The two men make complaints about their eyes.
A little change, but between the two actors' eyebrows and eyes, flowing out a wonderful chemical reaction, let the corners of the mouth not from gently up.
What's important is that it's a high-level humor. Only the audience who carefully watch the movie can understand that the eye color of lanli and Rooney is not blue; Otherwise, if one is not careful, the audience will miss the key points of the information, and then they will be full of question marks, and they will not know the meaning of the dialogue between the two people.
In other words, for those ordinary viewers, these details will inevitably be lost, so that the effect of watching the film will be affected. In fact, it's very unfriendly for commercial movies. High level humor often affects people's evaluation of movies.
However, this is exactly what Alfonso's script hopes to achieve, to give the film more details worthy of in-depth taste, and then to appreciate the harvest of advanced wisdom.
Sure enough, really good actors can always inadvertently inject their own characteristics in the performance process, quietly making the role and script more full and mellow.
For the layman, they are not aware at all; But for professionals, it's a pleasure.
Alfonso can't perform, but he can appreciate it. He likes the change of the script and is even excited about it.
Such humor ends perfectly in the final response of Rooney.
"Maybe, after your eyes turn blood red, there's a chance. It's like you're in the right state. " "It's a reaffirmation of the previous conversation," said Alex——
Ryan's physical condition is not very comfortable. He has been working in space for a long time, which has affected his condition. Now his eyes are congested. Just before the conversation, Ryan frowned slightly and felt uncomfortable again. This is also the opportunity for Alex to notice Ryan's eyes. Everything is traceable.
After that, Alex winked playfully. It's just that it's not smart at all, but it's a bit clumsy. It's like the feeling of not being able to do it at all, but it's hard to break it. The raw and stiff action falls into Ryan's eyes.
Speechless, Ryan had no more words and expressions, but his eyes widened, and the eyebrows gently lifted. Then the eyeballs turned slightly upward, and the helpless Tucao and speechless make complaints about the eyebrows.
The two people do not seem to have any interaction. But the confrontation between the eyebrows and the words is full of wisdom, the wisdom of introverted and low key, and make complaints about each other virtually, which makes the corners of the mouth rise.
It's just a little bit of an 18 minute shot.
The whole set is silent for fear of interrupting the shooting rhythm and process. No one seems to respond to such a performance at all. However, after the shooting, the two characters of Alex and Ryan suddenly become lifelike, almost without words. Everyone can feel the difference between the two characters. In the discussion, The smile rose involuntarily.
In particular, in the opening stage, Alex, who has shouldered the responsibility of active atmosphere and laughing point, has successfully created a garrulous and wordy image, which is in sharp contrast to his cool and arrogant appearance. The strong contrast is really beyond people's control. Teasing men as women magnifies this personality charm.
This is the charm of performance!
There is no doubt that Rooney has taken away the grace of Langley, and in the first 18 minute long lens, she has become the core focus of the whole light box. This is not an unexpected harvest, people can not help but have more confidence and greater expectations for the follow-up shooting.
For Rooney and Langley, they're getting better.
In fact, the content of the performance itself is not difficult. What is rare is the performance state of the two actors. In addition to Alfonso Caron's requirements and expectations, they have injected more unique colors into the role and the plot. It has to be said that this has also achieved the essence of a performance.
It can be seen that the two actors are in good condition now, and the quality and texture of the whole performance are dazzling. For long shot hard shooting, they become the most stable part; Those technical links, however, breed more uncertain variables.
After digitization and computerization, we thought that everything would be completed in accordance with the procedures and there would be no mistakes. Now we have to make more adjustments to present the real space effect. The crew must constantly modify the parameters and adjust the details.
The actor's state, which was supposed to be full of uncertainty, may affect the shooting process, but now it's going with the wind and the water. The best performance state is always stable in the repeated shooting, and has never made any mistakes. On the contrary, because of the long repetition, it gradually becomes familiar.
Because of this, the "gravity" crew has a really rare situation:
The first long shot took 11 days, during which 191 errors or interruptions occurred, which not only consumed a lot of film and time, but also consumed a lot of money. So that the producers came to Surrey photography base in person to ask why the cost was far beyond the expectation, and expressed their deep concern.
However, in this, the number of errors of the two actors added up to less than five times, only three times, and the fingers of one hand do not need to be all used.
In other words, the rest of the errors are from the technical group, either the lights, or the iris manipulator, or the orbit calculation error, or the space distance calculation error, and so on. The technical parameters really make the whole crew suffer.
This is not only the price for the first long shot, but also the price for the crew to adapt to the new shooting method. They could only cross the river by feeling the stones.
In fact, the most important thing is that the first long shot can be successfully shot, which means that all technical problems have been overcome, and the next shooting will be simpler and smoother; Also, it saves more money and time. The fast consumption in the early stage is to pave the way for the fast shooting in the later stage.
But on the whole, the whole shooting is smooth, at least, the mistakes can be controlled; The uncontrollable links are well controlled.
The difficulty of the first 18 minute long shot is self-evident. It's repeated, and the crew has deeply felt this. After all, this is a challenge to break the technical bottleneck of the industry. It can even be said to be an earth shaking innovation, which is of great significance.
Compared with the difficulty of shooting, the first long shot was completed in 11 days, and the efficiency and speed were higher than expected. The whole team headed by director Alfonso Caron expressed great satisfaction.
In this regard, as the leader of visual effects, Timothy Weber constantly emphasizes that the end of the first shot means that the whole film is half finished. For Warner Brothers and producers, there is no need to worry about their current work progress and state.
This is not a boast.
After the tenth day of shooting, the whole crew can feel the smooth feeling of flowing water. All the operations, all the applications and all the details become simple and clear. If there is no accident beyond control, they can complete the whole long shot shooting on the same day.
It's not only the familiar road that has been repeated for nearly 200 times, but also the flexible use of all technical links. The control of light box, iris manipulator, track, spatial orientation and so on has reached a fine maturity. It has passed the stage of maturity and gradually entered the professional level.
Although the shooting time was extended by one day due to a small accident, the shooting on the eleventh day was very smooth. All the work was completed without any mistakes. Then, with the director's affirmation, the first scene was officially completed.
