Say goodbye to 2013 and embrace 2014.
After the "dream back to the kerosene lamp bar" concert, Langley left the cold and windy New York and plunged into the warm winter sun of California, ready to start the last stage of "Star Trek" shooting again.
There is no doubt that "Star Trek" is the largest and most tedious work that Lanley has ever shot. Only the shooting base switched three places. The shooting cycle lasted for two months, but still failed to complete half of the shooting. Moreover, the next shooting in Los Angeles is the most difficult part.
But objectively speaking, the workload of "Star Trek" in two months is still less than that of "pop drummer" in one week. It's not only because of the differences between independent and large groups, but also because of the differences in performance tasks - art films need actors to study, while commercial films need actors to relax. Different pursuits lead to different workload.
For today's lenley, the shooting of "Star Trek" is more of an enjoyment, and he really enjoys it. At the same time, lanli also has more time to study the relationship between the director's work and the actor's performance, including light, composition, position and perspective.
In fact, this is a basic skill of a dramatic actor. When an actor stands on the stage and faces the audience from different angles with different sides, he must consider the details such as the angle of view and the lighting to present his performance; But on the whole, it's not the most important part of the stage. It's the basic skills of lines and body language.
Film and drama are very different arts.
The reason why the film is called the art of director is that the director takes the lens as his own eyes and perspective to capture and present the characters, stories and scenes according to the story context of the script. This is a crucial link. The same plot can be recorded in different ways and present different feelings.
The simplest way is to look down from top to bottom or look up from bottom to top. This is a totally different experience of watching movies. The influence of lens and perspective on the film is in all aspects. Naturally, the actor's performance also needs to be adjusted.
Of course, Langley understood that. When shooting "the Pacific War", the first film made mistakes for this reason. Later, it gradually found its own way; However, lanli has never studied it seriously. Most of the time, he is still immersed in the role and presents the performance in front of the director with his own feelings. As for how the director records, he has no time to care.
Christopher Nolan is a director with special features in both lens operation and editing. Moreover, he has relatively loose requirements for actors, which gives Langley more space to slowly ponder over how to present the performance according to the director's lens, and what role do these performance details have for the role?
This will not change the way of lanli's performance, but will enable him to have a more comprehensive understanding of the role and the film.
It's a learning process.
After a short Christmas holiday, lanli is still active and energetic. He can't wait to return to the crew and start shooting again.
"God! Oh... God! Please don't show such a bright smile, OK? I always think you did it on purpose. God, lenley, you are such a nuisance It's Megan shanko, the third assistant of the crew, who was responsible for the reception of maido Ryan and other visiting groups when she was in Canada.
After two months of getting along with each other, the atmosphere of the cast has gradually become harmonious, and Megan has become a lot more comfortable. Occasionally, she can joke with lanli, just like now.
Megan raised her hands, covered her cheek with the script, and made a voice of complaint, but could not hide her shame, "I need sweets now, I need sweets now! Otherwise, I don't know how to stick to it on the first day of returning to work. I want to go on strike at the gate of the set right now. "
For nine to five office workers, Monday is bad news.
For the Hollywood crew with uncertain working hours, returning to work is bad news.
Just after a ten day holiday, when he came back to the production group, everyone complained and complained. As a result, he could see that Lan Li was rubbing his hands and was eager to try. He was just making people angry!
"Do you want me to join you?" Lanli still didn't hide his good mood and laughed happily. "I think it's better to take part in such a protest. It means that the whole crew is united and the directors and producers may take it seriously, isn't it?"
Poker faced in a nice hobble make complaints about the seriousness of blue rites.
Megan heavily put down the script and glared at Lan Li fiercely. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" But she looks like kirky, without any sense of threat.
Lan Li seriously agreed, "yes."
"..." Megan was almost choked to death by her breath. Facing Lan Li's calm expression, she finally gave up her arms and lost the battle, gritting her teeth and complaining, "Lan Li, do you know? You can be really, really annoying sometimes. Now I finally know why so many people in Hollywood don't like you! "
"Just sometimes?" Blue Li gently picked eyebrow tail, "I thought it was always like this. It seems that I need to keep working hard. "
"Langley hall!" Megan raised her voice and cried out, but she still had no power, similar to the little sheep. Then Megan saw her savior, "Jessica, hey, Jessica, long time no see! God, you're here at last. You said, "is lenley a very, very annoying guy?"
Jessica chastan has just arrived at the scene of Burbank's studio. She comes over in a golf cart with a relaxed and bright smile on her face. Before leaving the golf cart, she hears Megan's complaint. She looks up and down at lenley, and then nods in affirmation. "Of course, he's the most annoying guy in the world."
Megan immediately burst into a proud smile.
Jessica went on, "but he's also a great actor once in a century. I mean, maybe he's a little bit worse than Marlon Brando, but it's about the same. So, I don't care if he's annoying. Just being able to give a wonderful performance on the screen is enough. "
"Poof." The other staff members standing nearby could not help laughing, but they did not dare to laugh because of Megan's power.
Jessica's words are not finished, and finally added a shot, "unless you secretly love him, that's another matter."
"Jessica!" Megan can't believe her ears.
Then all the staff began to shout, "lanli and Megan are sitting in the tree! Langley and Megan are sitting in the tree
Lanli raised his right hand high. After Jessica got out of the car, the two of them clapped high fives. Obviously, they were in the same group.
Megan looked at Jessica speechless, full of mouth, and could not explain clearly.
Jessica couldn't help but start to look forward to it. "How are you, are you ready? Hoo, I can't wait to start the final stage of shooting. "
"Miss, this beautiful lady, if I remember correctly, you don't have many scenes in Los Angeles. I'm the one who should be excited, OK?" Lanli reminded me solemnly.
Jessica waved her hand indifferently. "Did you hear that before? They built a model of black hole in space-time in the studio. They explained it to me, but the professional vocabulary of physics and astronomy is too profound. I'm more looking forward to seeing the model in the studio. Is it true? "
"Chris mentioned it to me before. He sent me the plan by email. My good friend saw it by accident and studied it seriously for a long time. He said it was very interesting." Matthew, the freak, is clearly a lawyer, but his interest in natural science has never weakened. "What I am more curious about is how Chris creates the texture of space."
"Yes! Yes, yes! I'm curious, too! " Jessica nodded in agreement. "How did you do it when you shot gravity before?"
Ignoring Megan at all, Langley and Jessica walked towards the studio. Obviously, Jessica is also a workaholic, even crazier than Langley.
Megan stood in the back with her shoulders down and a sad face.
Then you can see Timothy chalames come bouncing up to you and say, "happy new year, Megan! Why do you look so sad? " Before Megan could answer, Timothy said, "we're finally going into the final phase of filming. Isn't that exciting?"
Megan blinked, looked up at the sky and sighed, "what kind of crew is this?" Why is everyone a workaholic?
Timothy didn't know, so his head was full of question marks
Megan also announced to give up, pointing to the direction of the studio, "go in, Langley and Jessica have arrived, they are ready to study the shooting model, to see how to shoot next."
"Yes? That's great Timothy also cheered up, walked two steps, and then turned to give Megan a hug, "New Year's work, everything goes well!" Then he jumped towards the studio.
Megan was left standing alone: she wanted to be quiet.
Timothy walked into the studio. Before he had time to speak, his exclamation was stuck in his throat. He couldn't even make a "Whoa" sound. He just looked at the grand occasion in front of him in amazement. He couldn't believe his eyes. He walked to lanli and Jessica gently. He didn't even know why. He lowered his voice and asked, "Next, shall we finish shooting here?"
