Evan Bell and Ellen Page stood in front of the monitor and watched the replay carefully. The shooting just now was just a long shot directly to the end, which clearly showed the interaction between the two people. But Evan Bell stood there and thought.
"Why, I think this shot just now is perfect. There is no problem with all the light and angles, including your appearance." Christopher Nolan asked curiously, although he knew that he was probably in the emotional scene. I don't have any talent, but I should be ashamed to ask.
Evan Bell's eyes still stayed on the monitor screen, but his head was slightly tilted towards Christopher Nolan, "Chris, this scene just now took sixty seconds, right." Christopher Nolan nodded nodded, "A 60-second long shot clearly shows the interaction and emotional changes between Cobb and Ariad, which can not only truly record every change in the scene, but also make the kind of The effect of light and shadow production is maximized, this is my first garden."
Evan Bell found the problem, turned his head and looked at Christopher Nolan, with a smile on his face, "If according to my assumption, there is absolutely no problem with this shot just now, you can continue shooting now It's the next scene." Christopher Nolan smiled, and Ellen Page next to him nodded with a smile. They had rehearsed five times before and after the scene just now, and then they reached Evan without thinking once. -Bell this demanding requirement. However, listening to Evan Bell's tone, it seems that there is a following, and sure enough...
"But", a turn of Evan Bell, brought the topic to another rhythm, "Such a long shot is used in my films without any problems, except that the light is not full." Christopher Nolan's royal use When photographer Valerie Feist heard this, he shouted "Hey" beside him to express his dissatisfaction, causing everyone around to laugh. Evan Bell also smiled and raised his hand at Valle Pfister, apologizing and then said, "It can be placed in the footage you shot before, or more precisely in a film that is so fast-paced overall. In a sci-fi action movie, it looks out of place.”
To put it more in layman's terms, putting such a 60-second long shot into a commercial film would seem too pretentious and deliberate, and it does not match the overall style of the film.
"Then, this shot is considered a failed work." Evan Bell finally came to a conclusion.
This film is a collaboration between him and Christopher Nolan. Both sides have their own strengths, but at the same time there are parts that must be compromised with each other. This is the way to cooperate.
Christopher Nolan also understood what Evan Bell meant, but he showed a pity expression, "Evan, are you serious? This shot is really excellent and classic, this is your characteristic, I guess for a lifetime You can’t learn it, but it would be a pity to give up.”
Evan Bell patted Christopher Nolan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We are good at different things." If Evan Bell was allowed to shoot "Memento" as a work that was built entirely on structure and editing Then he would probably be dumbfounded. This made Christopher Nolan laugh too.
"I can't bear to take this shot. It's rare for both of me and Allen to perform so well. Maybe I can get another statuette." Evan Bell's remarks with a strong sense of ridicule provoked the scene Many staff members began to coax, whistles and applause were everywhere, and some staff members were rolled their eyes by Evan Bell's playful behavior, "I think this scene can be left, but add some close-up shots of talking, will The emotions of the characters are more intuitively realized, but the light and shadow changes need to be adjusted slightly, and then in the later stage, based on long shots, the whole scene is built up through close-ups of expressions.”
"This way, it won't be so literary!" Christopher Nolan took Evan Bell's words and came to a conclusion, "But in this case, wouldn't the obscurity created by the light and shadow effect be enough? I think it's ruining the feel of the scene." Christopher Nolan naturally knew what Evan Bell said, after all, it's a very basic method, but in terms of control, he just doesn't have this kind of sensitivity for emotional scenes. .
Evan Bell shrugged, "Let's try it out" This is not what Christopher Nolan is good at, but it is Evan Bell's forte.
Before shooting again, Evan Bell communicated with Vale-Pfister and Robert Faris, and then discussed it with Ellen Page. At this time, Evan Bell returned to the role of director, which was also a position he was very comfortable with, and quickly mobilized the entire crew.
The close-up shot started very quickly, and this time the lighting was slightly adjusted. The light shrouded in Ellen Page is brighter than that of Cobb, but it is not the kind of light that is directly illuminated, but makes Ellen Page stand in the light, in all directions. The incoming light will make Ellen Page's expression look more vivid.
During the filming, Ellen Page's acting skills were used to show her aggressive aura, and at the same time, Ariad's current situation was fully presented. Ariad is a fledgling college student who is in the season of youth, so she has bold ideas, dares to act, and is not lacking in the delicacy and keenness of girls; but at the same time, she is also the first time to come into contact with the so-called dream builder. It is a whole new world for her, so she is a rookie, things in the dream are unknown to her, and any possible errors will make her fearful.
In the process of Cobb showing the dream construction to Ariad, Ariad was killed by Mo Jiu who suddenly appeared in Cobb's dream. No one likes the feeling of being killed, even in a dream, not to mention this is such a real dream, which makes Ariad more sensitive to the existence of Moer, and at the same time, the sense of security in the dream has dropped a lot. .
When she learned that Moer was Cobb's wife, and that it might have a fatal impact on the mission, Ariad's mood was dominated by worry, but this worry was more mixed, including worries about the mission, and concerns about Cobb. There are also fears of death and fear of accidents. This makes her words have a more direct effect.
For Cobb standing on the other side, the light and shadow effects are still the main focus in the close-up shots, but the surrounding lighting will be slightly enhanced, so that Evan Bell's expression will not be so hazy and slightly clearer, which is very important for showing Cobb. The inner struggles and contradictions of this character are very necessary. Then mainly rely on Evan Bell's delicate performance to present this repression.
This time, his performance was different from "One Day" Riedxter. In 'One Day', Dexter's personality is actually flamboyant, and Evan Bell's introverted performance is more to show the texture of the entire personality, and to put it more directly, it is to show the character's aristocratic texture. , rather than showing off like a nouveau riche, so the restraint of "one day" is more reflected in the carving of personality.
But "Pirates of Dreams" is more about the excavation of the psychological level, overflowing the inner pain of Cobb's character, to make a simple summary, Cobb is a widower who blamed himself for killing his wife, but at the same time because of This misunderstanding forced him to leave his home and his beloved child. What such a character needs is depth and complexity. Almost from the beginning of the film, the character is suppressing himself, and conflicts are constantly erupting between Cobb's brows. In addition to the various mixed emotions in his heart, Cobb must always be vigilant whether he is in a dream or in reality. On the one hand, he blames himself for Mo'er's suicide, but on the other hand, he must avoid the existence of Mo'er against him. Life brings more influence, and the blurred line between dream and reality makes him feel like he is walking on a tightrope in the sky all the time, frightened.
So, don't underestimate "Inception" is a science fiction movie, or a commercial movie, but the interpretation of the role of Cobb is not inferior to Evan Bell's previous role, although intuitively speaking, UU reading wwwwww .uukanshu.com Cobb is definitely not as shocking as the clown in "The Dark Knight", but in terms of difficulty of interpretation and performance completion, it is no easier than the clown.
Evan Bell and Ellen Page are both very good actors, and they have already entered the play just now. After shooting the close-up shots, they did not spend too much effort, and it took only twenty minutes before and after. All shots of the scene were shot.
Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan briefly discussed the effect of the edited picture, and they decided that the scene was officially over, and the next scene could be filmed.
Now it seems that the filming of "Inception" has gradually been on track, and the cooperation between Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan in the director positions has become more and more tacit. The sparks that come out are getting brighter and brighter on the set, making the whole work stride towards a more perfect quality.
While the "Inception" crew is busy leaving footprints all over the world, the reporters need to devote most of their energy to always pay attention to the latest news of the crew, hoping to get the exclusive news of the crew, which will attract countless audiences. Eyes: At the same time, we must divide our energy and lock it in the bustling summer season of the North American film market in 2000. This is the most lively time in the film circle every year. No one wants to miss it, even if you are in The same goes for journalists in the entertainment industry.
