Not only to enrich the role of Alex, but also to build a bridge between Alex and Ryan, to prepare for the follow-up story, but also to accumulate advantages bit by bit on the stage of theme sublimation, so as to complete the arduous narrative task through the two characters in the limited script space.
Therefore, at the critical moment, lanli and Rooney still decided to inject more chemical reaction into the communication between the two roles; At the same time, it can't disturb Alfonso's control of the whole lens, the angle of view and the rhythm.
It's more difficult than ever!
This means that the performances of the two actors need to be more focused, more involved and more delicate; It also means that minor changes need to be made to the script, and the camera scheduling of Emmanuel and the theme construction of Alfonso must be adjusted accordingly.
It also means that before the two actors perform, they must have a clearer and more detailed idea of the relationship between the roles and the establishment of the roles themselves.
At the same time, all this content must take place in a short time of several seconds, maybe three to five seconds at most, and even need to be further shortened.
In short, this is a thankless scene.
However, it is no exaggeration to say that it plays an irreplaceable role in the further improvement and promotion of the quality and core of the whole film. After lenley and Rooney put forward their ideas, they immediately got Alfonso's response. In the past, after the end of the day's shooting work, they have been discussing and discussing intensively, hoping to show the best results.
Now, at last, it's time for actual combat.
Before the shooting, everyone was very relaxed, as if it was just a simple scene, and didn't realize the importance of this scene to the film. But on the other hand, compared with the 18 minute long shot at the beginning, other scenes are not really inspiring.
At least, the real difficulty of the play falls on the two actors, and the rest of the Department is light. Now, the two actors are in a relaxed state. Naturally, the atmosphere of the whole crew is relaxed.
Once again, Langley and Rooney put on their spacesuits; Once again, Langley and Rooney are in the basket; Once again, the iris manipulator adjusts the direction and angle.
It's all very familiar, but this time it's a little different. Lanli's basket is adjusted to the limit angle of 45 degrees.
Because in the lens of the play, Ryan presents an upside down angle, and then forms a 180 degree parallel up and down angle with Alex. The center of gravity of the body and the entry point of the angle of view must be adjusted accordingly. Only relying on the actor's own simulation, the details are inevitably lacking.
Therefore, the cast will assist the performance of the actors through technical means.
At first, the 45 degree tilt was not obvious, but with the passage of time, the blood and brain gradually began to tilt, and the balance of the whole body was inevitably affected.
The most obvious is that the left foot, as the support point, immediately began to be congested, numb, and lose consciousness little by little; At the same time, the body's center of gravity is inclined, which may lead to loss of balance. Therefore, in the actual shooting, in order to ensure safety, lanli's feet are allowed to move. In the post production, the lower part of the body will all be completed by computer special effects.
Standing in the basket, Langley is slowly adjusting his breath, and the whole crew including Rooney is waiting for him.
Because the next scene starts from Ryan's perspective, comes to Alex's perspective, and finally comes back to Ryan's perspective. Lenley's role is as important as Rooney's; It's also because this scene needs to be connected with the previous one. The connection is Ryan.
Lanli didn't worry. He slowly calmed down his breathing. After his mood and brain entered the state, he made his breathing fast again, simulating the crisis state after turbulence. Although he was still standing on the edge of the cliff, he still stopped in time, didn't fall off the cliff and completely lost control.
Breathing rhythm is faster and faster, more and more fierce, suddenly, the brain came a whine, "hum..." seems to fall into a fragmented state in a thousandth of a second, and then, lanli nodded in the direction of the camera lens, there is no redundant language, and then entered the performance state.
"Shoot!" The voice of the drama and the sound of dressing came. Instead of directly entering the performance of the play, lanli started to perform from the part before the end of the last play in order to continue the play.
"He, he... He, he..."
Gasping for breath, at the end of the rapid fall, you can vaguely feel something wrapped around your left thigh, and finally stop the fall. However, the beating heart and the rapid consumption of oxygen still make your brain fall into a blank.
He constantly looked around at the scene, but in addition to black, it was still black. In the vast dim light, the depth and vastness of the universe devoured all colors and lights, and he could not judge his position or his situation. This confusion made him fall into the absolute time of the moment - as if the world had stopped working.
A figure is captured in the residual light of the line of sight. The figure is falling rapidly and falling rapidly. The helpless figure has lost all the support points, just like a free falling body.
In space, a strong driving force will bring a constant speed of movement, without the control of blocking or friction, then the driving force will continue forever. Now Alex is like this, huge impact let her body out of control.
Ryan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands, but his heavy spacesuit made his arms look very slow, and everything seemed to be in slow motion.
"I'll catch you. I'll get you. I'll catch you. " Ryan kept talking, the vague voice could not be heard clearly, and the confused eyes gradually disappeared in the continuous exhalation.
From a distance, Ryan saw that Alex was rapidly approaching and expanding in his pupils.
In the process of losing control, Alex reluctantly stretched out his right hand, but his balance and center of gravity could not be controlled at all, and then quickly slid past Ryan's eyes.
"Here, right here! Here Ryan whispered unconsciously, and then began to do his best, trying to grasp Alex's right hand. His whole strength seemed to be bound in a cage, but he could not achieve one-third of the expected effect.
"Ah! Ah, ah The struggling gibberish burst out unintentionally. The fingers have stretched to the extreme, but they can only hook the fingertips of Alex's right hand. The fingers of the two people are firmly contracted, trying to fit the forces together and prevent the speed and thrust exerted on Alex by the powerful collision force just now.
In a flash, time seemed to be quiet. Through the hazy helmet, Ryan and Alex's eyes met for a moment. But in those eyes, apart from confusion or confusion, even the charm and brilliance had completely disappeared at the critical moment of life and death, leaving only the survival instinct and physiological reaction.
"Hold on. Hold on Ryan didn't realize he was talking at all. He was just talking nonsense subconsciously. Then he caught a fear deep in Alex's eyes, which burst open in an instant. Then, his fingers closed, but it was just a void, and he didn't catch anything.
Then Ryan realized that the powerful force still dragged Alex into the abyss. The weak power just now only eased the power attached to Alex a little, but it didn't stop. Then, Alex went away like this, and the fingertips of the two people stretched out and closed again. If there were seemingly no fetters, they would be cut off like this.
……
At this moment, Alfonso, standing behind the monitor, is in a daze. This scene depicts a magnificent and moving picture in his mind: Michelangelo's dome mural for the Sistine Chapel, "Genesis", the most famous one of which is "creating Adam".
In the mural, the Lord, who came from heaven, extended his finger to Adam and was ready to pass on his soul to Adam like an electric current, giving him fresh life. This dramatic moment is sacred and full of vitality, profound and full of details.
Now, between Langley and Rooney, Alfonso has captured such a moment. The only difference is that God is about to give Adam a soul; At this point, Ryan is losing Alex. Life and death, fate and fortune, God and human beings are intertwined between straightening and closing.
be struck with fright!
"Damn it Alex frowned and swore.
"No, no, no, No." Ryan was just repeating the same word, stretching his arms and fingers as straight as he could, as if he could reach Alex just a little longer.
But in between, Alex is still drifting away.
Ryan refused to give up his arms, even more refused to give up hope. His hands began to beat wildly, trying to grasp the rope that had just been held between the two people - now the rope is still hanging on Alex.
The first time, the second time, and the third time, we finally grasped it. But before we had time to celebrate, there was a huge drag force from the rope, which could not stop the downward trend of Alex. The rope quickly slid through Ryan's palm, gradually moving away, and seemed to be ready to break free at any time.
"No, no, no, no!" Ryan almost fell into despair and roared wildly. He clenched his hands and grasped the rope. At last, the buckle at the end of the rope was stuck outside the palm of the fist. Finally, he firmly controlled the rope and grasped the lifeline in his hand.
However, Alex is still on the slide, and this time, along with Ryan, he is also on the slide.
