Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath again.
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff.
But holding your breath is not a long-term solution.
His cheeks began to turn red, but he couldn't hold it. He let out a long breath with a "poof", but the palpitation still lingered. Then he began to jump in the same place, just like a little flea, moving his limbs while jumping, so that the tension and agitation could be completely relaxed, It's still striking in the crowd.
"Are you getting ready to play now? 100 meters? Two hundred meters? Or ten thousand meters? "
There was a banter nearby, which made Timothy chalamee jump. He covered his heart with his hands. He leaned on the wooden table behind him with a look of fear. His eyes closed and he gasped heavily. His legs and knees could not help softening. It seemed that he might fall to the ground at any time, That "coquettish" look really makes people laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha." McKenzie foy burst out laughing with no face at all.
Timothy, however, closed his eyes tightly and still did not dare to open them, just like the cowards who realized the existence of ghosts in horror movies, "Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ He took a few breaths and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Lan Li, you may really scare people to death. God, I don't think my bladder is going to hold up
McKenzie was so happy that his voice almost disappeared. He was all over the floor and almost fell off his chair.
Standing next to him, Lan Li looks innocent: he just wanted to make a little joke. Looking at Timothy's warm-up and relaxation, he looks like a good athlete. So he used the Olympic Games as a metaphor to make fun of him, but he didn't expect to create such an effect. It's not his fault.
Timothy did not hear the sound, carefully opened his eyes, and then Lan Li's figure came into his eyes. He could not help showing an awkward and astringent expression. He could not help scratching his head, and the big curly hair began to shake fluffy, as if the poodle was shaking its head.
"I... er... I..." Timothy stammered, "I'm just preparing for the first play."
"Good. I thought you were going to the Pan American Games Langley said with a smile, but neither Timothy nor McKenzie laughed. Mackenzie can't catch the laugh, while Timothy doesn't have the energy to worry about other things. Now all his attention is focused on today's first scene.
Yesterday, the "Star Trek" crew officially started shooting a play.
However, Christopher Nolan is an alternative director. The first scene brings all the actors together and then makes a scene. Yes, it's a pure panoramic landscape without actors.
In order to make sure that the first play can get off to a good start, other troupes always choose a relatively simple play as the starting point; In order to ensure the smooth start-up, Christopher simply chose the scenery play. Without the performance of the actors, there is no possibility of mistakes. He just needs the photographer to capture the panorama according to the requirements of the director.
Sure enough, the shooting went smoothly without any mistakes.
For young actors like Timothy and McKenzie, they don't know why, they can't understand what Christopher is doing, they just think it's an alternative director; But for such a senior actor as lanli, he gradually understood the director's perspective and ideas, especially after the end of the "gravity" shooting, the feeling became more profound and more direct.
Christopher is a traditional director. It's not that he refuses new technology, but that his understanding of film is traditional and academic
For example, movies must be in cinemas to feel the greatest charm, which is why movies and TV movies are two different art forms. Audio visual experience and sensory shock are the parts that cinemas cannot erase; For another example, the film texture of the film can not be replaced by digital photography, and the sense of film grain is just one of the charm of the film.
and so on.
It also includes refusing to shoot on the green screen. As long as he can shoot on the spot, Christopher will try his best to do it on the spot.
It's like this "Star Trek.".
In the movie, after Cooper retired, he chose to become a farmer, planting corn, and his door is a vast cornfield; At the same time, corn is also one of the few plants that can survive in the end world in the background of the movie, which makes the number of professional farmers more and more, and become one of the mainstream occupations. In other words, it's part of the story.
In the face of such a situation, it is obviously time-consuming and labor-consuming to plant a large area of corn field. Moreover, the movie lens does not take a few seconds, and it may even be just a background picture that nobody cares about. Most directors will choose computer special effects to produce corn field. From the perspective of production cost, the two methods are almost the same, and the actual planting may be cheaper; But the time consumption and shooting difficulty are not at the same level at all. Computer special effects are much simpler.
But Christopher is something else - he really started planting this vast cornfield a few months in advance, just to create the real texture of the picture.
You can see Christopher's character in such small details.
Therefore, when shooting panoramic images, the importance of light is unparalleled.
In fact, Christopher's requirements for lighting are almost strict. When shooting "Inception", considering the multiple influences of weather, light, dream and reality, the set often takes several hours to adjust the light slowly, hoping to find the most perfect shooting conditions. Therefore, actors may need to idle around for a long time, But Christopher still refused to give up his insistence.
The Lightbox of gravity is the best direct proof of this. The influence of light on the viewing effect is far beyond the imagination of ordinary audiences.
Wally Pfister, Christopher's Royal photographer, is a top veteran in the industry. They have cooperated with Batman Series, fatal magic, inception, memory fragments and chasing after the murderer in the white night. In other words, Wally has participated in the production of all his works except for Christopher's first work "follow", He won four Oscar nominations and best photography through inception.
Christopher and Waley's cooperation is undoubtedly intimate, and they are very intimate.
Later, Warner Brothers prepared to shoot the movie "transcendental hacker" and found the leading role of Johnny Depp. When considering directing, Wally was on the waiting list - there are many cases of changing from photographer or editor to Director in Hollywood. When Warner Brothers asked Christopher for advice, he strongly recommended his good friend.
In the end, Waley successfully took over the guide tube of "transcendental hacker" and began to direct the first work of his career; When Christopher was shooting "Star Trek", he had to face the dilemma of no photographer.
After many twists and turns, Swiss photographer Hoyte van hoytema became the official photographer of Star Trek. The photographer shot to fame with the Swedish horror film "strangers are not allowed to enter", and then held the mirror for "fighters", "cookers, tailors, soldiers, spies", "she" and other works. He is a calm photographer.
"Star Trek" cooperation is undoubtedly happy, and later he also for "007: Ghost party" palm mirror, and with Christopher and cooperation "Dunkirk".
However, now Hoyt and Christopher have to start from scratch. They are both groping for each other's habits. Their creative ideas about light, mirror and track are constantly colliding. Therefore, on the first day when he joined the crew, Christopher did not rashly start shooting the actors' parts, but shot the scenery. His original intention was to train the photographer.
On the first afternoon, the director and photographer were adjusting the light and composition, discussing, overturning and reconstructing over and over again. This is obviously not an easy thing, but for the whole crew, it is a necessary preparation to set the tone. It's also Christopher's shooting habit.
In the eyes of many people, the start-up of some children's games is the most important part of the film cooperation.
Today, the crew will begin filming the first formal play.
In the first scene, four actors will be mobilized, including lenley, Timothy, Mackenzie and John Lithgow, a veteran actor who plays Cooper's father-in-law Donald, to shoot a breakfast scene.
As an actor in the first scene of shooting, the camera scheduling and the difficulty of lines are relatively ordinary, but Timothy is still at a loss.
Looking at Timothy in front of him, lanli recalled the first scene he entered the "Pacific War" crew. He didn't even know where to put his eyes. That kind of embarrassment and tension is still fresh and exciting, and the best portrayal of vigor and vitality.
Lanli didn't say a word to comfort Timothy, because he was a past person, and also because he has accumulated a lot of experience. Those consolations are effective in a short time, but after he really put into shooting, the tension will surge up again, just like the chicken soup of the soul. After all, he can't change the status quo, only relieve anxiety.
Instead, Langley leaned on the table and asked casually, "how was your sleep last night? Should not be too excited to sleep, right
It's like daily conversation.
