The reason why it is difficult to start the first long shot is that it is omni-directional.
One of the reasons is that all the pictures are always placed in the space environment, not only the light angle and space position can not be simulated on the earth, but also put forward strict requirements for computer special effects and related departments; Because actors have to be in a "no support" environment to complete the performance, the references and borrowing points between actors and actors, actors and objects are all wrong, creating more difficulties.
But along with the shooting, the environment in the story began to change, and the background that can provide reference began to increase gradually, which also provided more borrowing points for Alfonso, so the shooting difficulty naturally dropped. Although the effect of space is still a problem, after solving the technical problem of the opening long shot, things became simple.
This is the scene today.
Also in the light box, the change of light is still an important part of the space effect, but the relative position of the camera lens began to be fixed, and the cooperation between iris manipulator and actors became more rough and simple; At the same time, the shooting props in the center have also changed from baskets to escape capsule seats, and the posture and state of the actors have been greatly improved, which is a good thing for the performance.
But as far as lanli is concerned, the difference is not too big. The whole shooting environment has gradually become familiar, comfortable and uncomfortable. In the final analysis, it's still difficult to shoot. It's still a torment to stay in the light box for more than ten hours.
Moreover, compared with the first shot, the shot began to zoom in and out gradually, and the weight of the movie core was all on the actors, which weakened the visual impact brought by technology. Naturally, the difficulty of telling a story by the actors rose in a straight line.
Perhaps, the only difference is that after this period of tempering, lanli has been completely used to the light box shooting environment. Even after more than ten hours of Marathon shooting, sweating, exhausted and exhausted, he has gradually forgotten the physical pain and mental torture, and now he has changed to a more comfortable sitting position, Can further forget these additional interference, can 100% of the attention, dedicated to the performance.
In the words of Rooney Mara, "this is the special power of an actor, but his skill is deeper than mine."
Now, lanli is sitting in the seat of the escape capsule, and the drama and other staff have left to ensure that they leave the capture range of the camera, so that the shooting can proceed smoothly.
Alfonso's voice could be heard. He was confirming the preparations of various departments, but without warning, Langley's voice broke the balance. "I need five minutes." Lan Li raised his voice and said, "give me five minutes."
This is a temporary accident, which has never appeared in the previous shooting. All the staff's eyes fell on Alfonso, waiting for the director's decision.
Alfonso was a little flustered. The first reaction in his mind was to ask, "what's the matter?"
But as soon as the question came out, Alfonso realized that he was in a hurry.
Lanli is a dedicated actor. For a perfect play, he is willing to do his best, even torture himself repeatedly; In the same way, he was the first one to take the initiative if there was an unexpected situation that needed to be adjusted.
Alfonso didn't know anything about the performance. Even if Langley explained, he couldn't understand it, but it was certain that their ultimate goals were the same. Therefore, his question is a little superfluous.
Sure enough, Lan Li didn't explain. He just raised his right hand, opened his five fingers and said again, "it's just... Five minutes."
This time, Alfonso did not continue to speak, but pressed his hands down to signal that everyone should keep quiet, then turned his head to signal, and conveyed the meaning to the other staff behind. If the ripple is general, the whole studio will be quiet slowly.
……
Lanli realized that he was not in the right state. It's not a special situation. It's just a feeling. It's unclear. He needs to calm down and let the whole person recover. That's all.
Close your eyes, open your arms, let the darkness surge in like the tide. All the thoughts in your brain are completely cleared, even the slightest thoughts are cleared out, as if your whole mind is completely immersed in the endless darkness. Gradually, those noises gradually go away and become an echo in the air, In the end, it completely disappeared.
Wandering in the dark and quiet, it is a very wonderful feeling, the ethereal and open touch gently surging on the surface of the skin, and even can feel the gurgling and surging touch of the gurgling stream, gently sliding through the tiny invisible pores, and then cold and cool through the pores, little by little penetrating into the blood, and twisting up and down on the bone.
The whole person seems to have become heavier, but it seems to have become lighter. The whole person is immersed in such a contradictory feeling. Slowly, slowly, the body begins to float. It's really indescribable. It's like... It's like the darkness has turned into a substantial tide and is overflowing.
But, instead of swallowing, it floats. The body floats on the surface of the black tide, becoming lighter, softer and more delicate, as if the fingertips can depict the shape and pattern of the water. Finally, it is completely integrated with it; At the same time, the pull of gravity is slowly disappearing, and the heaviness is gradually melting into the tide, creating a feeling similar to floating on the surface of the dead sea.
Subtle, but complex.
All of a sudden, all the tides disappeared completely, but the dark fog still existed. The whole person floated in the boundless darkness. His body began to swing unconsciously, and his arms and thighs lost control. He just floated casually and irregularly, as if he were in the space, completely cutting off the connection of gravity, I can't get down.
The feeling of duckweed staying in the middle of the sky brought a kind of panic and fear from the bottom of his heart. He could not help but began to flutter his hands, trying to grasp some borrowing points, and began to kick his feet, trying to find a landing point, but in vain. The harder he tried, the more helpless he was, the more panic he was.
That kind of panic, after experiencing fear, anger, chagrin, irritability and helplessness, eventually evolved into despair and powerlessness. It tied its wrists, ankles, waist and neck tightly, controlled every part and every movement of resistance, and even killed the last trace of resistance.
So, he regained his peace, and his heart was as calm as death.
That boundless darkness, all evolved into endless loneliness and sadness.
Lan Li opened his eyes again, turned his head slightly, looked not far away, as if he was looking into the distance, beyond the crowd, through the studio, and even beyond the earth, peeping into the vastness and mystery of the universe. The distant and deep eyes suddenly became empty, as if they could fill the whole sky.
But the strange thing is that the seemingly empty eyes annotate too many emotions. The vicissitudes of life and the changes of the world are so complex that people can't describe them. They can't find an accurate word at all. They begin to feel sad inexplicably. They can feel the sadness in their soul.
Suddenly, Alfonso thought of the "tree of life" movie in his mind. I don't know why, he did.
This time, without any hint from lanli, Alfonso knew that lanli was ready, so he quickly called on the crew to complete the preparation, and then officially announced the start of shooting.
"Shoot!"
Alfonso's voice was followed by a clear clapping sound, and then everyone held their breath, for fear that a little bit of movement would disturb the shooting of the play. But unexpectedly, lanli didn't respond, and the studio was still quiet, as if everyone was playing "one two three wooden people" game.
Waiting, everyone began to look at each other, exchanging eyes secretly, and began to worry: is Lan Li not ready? Or, didn't lenley hear the sound of shooting? What should we do now?
Once again, the sight fell on Alfonso.
This time, Alfonso took a deep breath, didn't speak in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to the expectant sight. He just kept his eyes on Lan Li, waiting for the next change and reaction. Involuntarily, he gradually slowed down his breathing, and even began to hold his breath. Even he didn't realize it.
Emmanuel was even more absorbed. His eyes were always firmly focused on lanli. The profoundness and vastness conveyed in the lens stirred and collided in his mind, creating a steady stream of inspiration, as if he could peep into the mystery of the universe and the magnificence of life through lanli's eyes, which made Emmanuel's adrenaline burst out in an all-round way, The whole world seems to be brightening up.
Emmanuel likes such moments. There are no lines, no actions, even no embellishments. Only the sparks between the actors and the camera, the actors and the pictures, simply and clearly present everything to the audience, and leave the space for thinking and aftertaste to the audience.
This is the real artistic level of communication, not one-sided dumping and indoctrination, but a kind of back and forth and exchange with each other.
Just when everyone was about to give up and thought that lanli didn't hear the signal to start shooting, a small voice sounded at the scene. If it wasn't completely quiet in the studio, it would be almost inaudible. Still, the ears have to be raised to catch the subtle sound.
"Houston... Houston?"
