In April, Evan-Bell ended the shooting of "One Day" in Paris, and then the crew of "Inception" arrived in Paris for filming. Evan-Bell is very familiar with the streets and alleys of Huadu.
After "Inception" arrived in Paris, the filming work this time encountered great challenges. It was not that the crew's own requirements were too high, but that Jill-Jacob was hampering it. Not long ago, Jill Jacob suffered a humiliation that was rarely seen in his life with Bell, how could he give up.
So when he learned that Evan-Bell was back in Paris to shoot a new film, Jill-Jacob made use of his extensive contacts to let the Paris city government create obstacles for the "Inception" crew. With the influence of Jill Jacobs in the French film circle, the possibility of doing this is naturally rising. After all, strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes. But this time Jill-Jacob fell into trouble again. The Paris city government delayed for three days and did not approve the application for the closed street shooting of "Inception", and Warner Bros. could no longer bear it.
You know, this time "Inception" is the highlight of Warner Bros. for next year's summer program. Last year, "The Dark Knight" dominated the summer program. This summer, Warner Bros. hopes "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Next year's summer program "Inception" will be the main force. As for whether the film has enough box office competitiveness, Warner Bros. pinned all their hopes on the collaboration between Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan.
Under such busy conditions, all filming hindering Warner Bros. is not allowed. Seeing that they approved "Inception" to start shooting on the spot in many cities around the world, I know that Barry-Meyer is cruel this time. All bets are placed on this powerful alliance:
Therefore, the delay of the Paris city government immediately made Barry-Mayer anxious, and even before the two producers, Bell and Emma-Thomas, the two producers, called for help, Warner Bros. Ouhon branch began to act. And Eleven Studio's network in Ou Hong should not be underestimated. The two companies joined forces and solved the problem in less than 12 hours.
After Jill-Jacob found out, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but there was nothing he could do with the "Inception" crew. Because Warner Bros. and Eleven Studio assured the Paris city government, this time the filming of "Inception" in Paris will present the best side of the city, which will have an immeasurable impact on the tourism industry in the midst of the financial crisis. However, the Li city government has no reason to refuse.
Of course, this is just a small episode after "Inception" arrived in Paris, and neither Evan-Bell nor Christopher-Nolan paid much attention to Jill-Jacob." Irrelevant" characters were quickly thrown into the filming of the film.
Since the scenes on the streets of Paris finally decided to change the shooting plan and postponed it temporarily, the indoor scenes such as the Paris studio were first put on the schedule for shooting.
Christopher Nolan sat behind the monitor, watching the entire studio start to operate under the command of Aegis Bell, and the sighs in his heart came out one after another. Christopher Nolan knew that Evan Bell was an excellent actor, and the wonderful performances in "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight" are still vivid in his mind. At the same time, Christopher Nolan also knew that Evan Bell was an excellent actor. The director, but I know it, it's just a rumor, it's just a literal meaning, only after watching it on the spot, Christopher Nolan knew how well Evan-Bell's integration of the lens and light was.
The scene they are currently filming is part of the Paris studio. Cobb, played by Evan Bell, is teaching architecture student Yafiyad how to construct a dream. During the teaching process, Yu'er accidentally broke into the dream. She is the phantom in Cobb's head, disrupting the whole dream, and Assassinate Yajian Yade, let her wake up directly from the dream. Yajian Yade noticed that Cobb's subconscious was ill, mentally ill:
Arthur knew about this, but Cobb was unwilling to face it. Yajian Yade realized that if they didn't solve this problem, Chong'er might become the biggest uncertainty factor for them to complete the task, so she forced Cobb to face this psychological problem, and accidentally spied about Cobb. The tangled emotional bond with Moer.
In such emotional scenes, Christopher Nolan's shots have always been straightforward, and even a bit drastic. He just edited the pictures presented by the actors directly, without special skills. Christopher Nolan really What he is good at is the nonlinear change of narrative structure. Even if emotional entanglements are added to stories like "The Dark Knight", the shots he presents are relatively simple, and there is not much connotation worth exploring.
However, Bell's choice was different. Originally, Christopher Nolan's plan was to simply integrate the actors' lines and scenes, and rely on the actors' performances to highlight the emotional conflict. In other words, all rely on the actors' performances. . But Evan Bell chose a similar long shot, taking the change from medium shot to close shot and then close-up, showing Cobb in Yafiyad's eyes and Yajian Yade in Cobb's eyes, supplemented by The brilliance changes, and even before the lines are spoken, the structure of the whole picture has already presented that kind of cryptic emotion.
"Each layer of dreams is connected to the subconscious of the target we are trying to invade, so the last layer is designed to be a hospital." Yajian Yad, played by Ellen and Page, is stating his own design of the maze." So Fisher would arrange for his father to live in, you know, I actually have some questions about the layout..."
The entire camera at this time is a close-up view of Yajian Yade, you can see her upper body, expression, and the labyrinth diorama in front of her. The model is placed on the table, the light of the table lamp is shrouded, slightly bright, it is a bright yellow light close to white, and the surrounding is the slightly dim sunlight on the top of the head for projection, which makes the table appear as a kind of light around the light. The grey effect.
Cobb, played by Evan Bell, is standing behind Yajian Yade, leaning on the desk, with his head half bowed. There are bright incandescent lamps above the desk behind him, but Bell, the dog, has his back to the light, so the light spreads out from his shoulders, and most of his half-low head is hidden in the shadows, making it easy to see. It's not clear, but he can only vaguely see his right hand, which is supported on his left wrist, gently fiddling with his lips.
But in the flickering brilliance, Cobb's eyes were moving restlessly. All around him were the plane drawings that Yafiyad drew to design the labyrinth. He seemed to want to Going to look at these drawings, but suppressing my emotions. This kind of contradictory psychology became more and more oppressive in the brilliance, and Cobb's unconscious and erratic eyes showed the hesitation, contradiction, and even some panic in his heart.
It is such a picture, the focus is on Ellen Page, the audience's attention will be focused on Ellen Page's explanation, and will be guided by the light to see the labyrinth model. Bell was reduced to the background at this time. However, such a picture composition simply uses the brilliance effect to slowly brew the mood.
This method seems simple, but it is necessary to perfectly integrate light adjustment, space arrangement and plot understanding. In short, the director has a clear idea in his head, and then presents it directly through the lens. The conception process is not the finished picture. It seems so simple.
After Ellen-Pegzhou said, "Actually, I still have some doubts about this layout." She also tried to pick up the model of the maze: the focus of the camera did not shift to the model, but while maintaining this close-up view, Offset a little, and then the focus shifts directly to Evan-Bell: in this way, Evan-Bell becomes the heart of the picture, while Ellen-Page becomes the background standing in front.
I saw Cobb's half-downed head raised for a moment, but then quickly lowered again, and he even raised his right hand that was on his lips to block his eyes, "No, no, no, don't tell me clearly. The details." Cobb raised his head, put his right hand down, but his eyes shifted to the other side, Yajian Yade couldn't help turning his head to look at Cobb, "Only dream builders need to know this. layout."
Yajian Yade walked in the direction of Cobb, and the camera moved forward, still locking the two people in the picture presented as a close-up:
Yajian Yade obviously didn't understand Cobb's words very well. She frowned, "Is that important?" At this time, she was facing the camera sideways, but facing Cobb. Therefore, the light behind Cobb showed Yajian Yade's expression clearly. Due to the strong incandescent lamp, every time Yali Yade's expression dinged, the subtle changes were very clear, and even some were too clear. , but in contrast, Cobb turned his back to the light, and the expression hidden in the shadows became more and more blurred.
"In case someone of us brings our own projected characters into the ride. We can't let them know the details:" Cobb looked at Yajian in front of his left, but his line of sight was still a little erratic, and the direction he looked at seemed to be different. Sure, but viewers who follow his line of sight can see that most of the time his line of sight is in the direction of the maze model.
Christopher Nolan didn't know if the audience could find these details, but he found that, for Evan Bell's directing skills, he really couldn't help clapping his hands. From the beginning of the shooting of this scene to now, it is completely one shot to the end. This is a long shot, but it is not as boring as a long shot. On the contrary, the whole change of brilliance and the change of the position of the characters are completely presented, and then the expression is hidden in the expression. The turbulence below is revealed in a subtle way, not to directly tell the audience what the situation is, but to create a psychological feeling. This method is amazing!
