Chapter 659： Become a disabled person in the film

"Lights? Where is the light I want?"

There was a crisp sound from behind. When Ryan looked back, Natalie at the back handed the camera to the assistant and walked out of the small canyon. "I don't want to explain, I just want you to finish the work in hand."

"I promise."

The person in charge of the lighting group said immediately, "This is just an accident."

With the sound of footsteps, Natalie walked into the canyon again, picked up the camcorder again, and asked Ryan, "Are you ready?"

Ryan didn't speak, but just raised his hand and made an "ok" gesture.

"ready……"

Natalie's assistant Anna shouted, "Scene fifty-fifth, act twelfth, now begins!"

When the night passed, bright sunlight lit up the cold and dark valley a little bit, and the golden light fell on the brown-red rock, slowly moving towards the trapped Ryan. He looked there, breathing a little bit, and his eyes showed The unstoppable desire is not only a warm taste, but also a feeling of freedom.

Standing above Ryan, Natalie used the lens to capture every change in Ryan's expression. In the cable car above her, the main cameraman was shooting the panorama of the canyon.

The sunlight finally moved here, illuminating Ryan's tired face, but because of the terrain, he stopped beside him, Ryan took off his shoes, and a big bare foot stuck into the sunlight.

Natalie immediately gave this foot a close-up, and then moved the camera to Ryan's face again. In a comfortable sigh, he showed a slightly intoxicated expression. For a person who has been trapped for a long time, the sun is so Fascinating and precious.

He slowly stroked the rock wall warmed by the sun. Although these latex-made ‘rocks’ felt very bad, Ryan still enjoyed this short moment in accordance with the character’s requirements.

Perhaps only those who have lost their freedom can understand what Alan Ruston felt at the time.

When she turned her head back, Ryan realized that Natalie was right in front of her. She carried the camera, and seemed to be taking close-ups of his face from a distance of up to a foot away.

Ryan has more than ten years of experience in acting, and has been filming for more than ten days, and gradually found the feeling of a role. At this time, she is still fully engaged. The girl opposite is now a director and videographer to him. There is no need to consider the rest at work.

"Cut!" Natalie finally stopped, and she gave Ryan a thumbs up. Clicked his chin, "It's a great job!"

Then, she slid down from Ryan and said to the cameraman in the cable car above, "Jarvis, change the angle and shoot again."

Although the position is very awkward, and a bit tired after the long shot just now, Ryan is still fully cooperating with the work of the crew. As he said, he was an actor at the time of filming, and he was responsible for cooperating with the crew to complete his own work.

After Natalie called to stop again, Ryan jumped off the hanging rock. After shaking the somewhat paralyzed right hand between the two prop rocks, after feeling the blood flow was normal, he followed Natalie and walked out of the Blue John Canyon.

"Tired?" Natalie handed the camera to the assistant. Asked back.

"If it takes too long." Ryan pointed to his right hand. "It's very uncomfortable here."

"Go ahead and rest for half an hour." Natalie ordered to the assistant. Back in front of the monitor, after taking the camera, I connected the data cable, and said to Ryan who was sitting next to him, "There is no such super long lens below."

Taking off the hat she was wearing, Ryan took the two cups of coffee from Anna and placed one in front of Natalie, "You should also take a rest, we have plenty of time."

The shots of the film are not complicated. Most of them are Ryan's one-man shows. According to the plan, the shooting in the studio was completed in the first month, and then after the Oscars ceremony, they went to Canyon National Park to complete a small number of location shots .

"What do you think?" Natalie held up the coffee cup and pointed at the screen on the monitor. Ryan took a look, and then said, "You are the director, and these are all your jobs."

Although she occasionally makes a few suggestions, Ryan gave all the rights to Natalie from the shooting to the final editing of the film, and the film will only go according to her ideas.

"The following is the scene of your life diary."

Turning off the monitor, Natalie beckoned to the props group, and someone immediately sent a DVD over. Ryan took it and pointed to the'Sony' logo on it and asked, "Is this an advertising sponsorship? "

"That's right." Natalie showed a narrow smile on her slightly tired face, "Sony paid $3 million in advertising fees. Sorry, we borrowed your reputation when we sponsored."

"It's okay." Ryan said, playing with the dv. "This is good for the film and the crew."

The placement of advertising has long been an integral part of Hollywood movies. If you look closely, you will see the shadow of advertising in many movies. Ryan and Disney have never rejected this. On the contrary, people are welcome to pay for the cost of the movie. He himself once solemnly warned the various production companies of his subordinates to pay attention to the methods and methods of advertising placement, and not to get frantic.

Having said that, if this is not the movie he starred in, it must be difficult for the crew to get this advertising fee.

Later, Ryan listened to Natalie's introduction again, and then realized that the implanted advertisements were more than this. All the outdoor sports equipment on his body was basically a brand, and this brand also paid 3 million US dollars.

"This is Ryan's influence. The production cost of 10 million US dollars has been recovered in half."

This is what the associate director said to Natalie, which is quite appropriate. After these advertisers confirmed that Ryan was the lead actor, they almost confirmed the sponsorship contract in the fastest way.

"At least part of the money has been recovered."

After filming Alan Ruston’s self-portrait life diary, Natalie took the dv back, "This way my pressure is much less."

"Nate, you are about to become a qualified crew leader." Ryan teased her.

However, this is a good phenomenon. Not all directors are James Cameron. They have such a terrible budget when filming. If a director wants Hollywood to pay attention, he must let the producers see that it can create value. Even the most basic commercial value is not there. In this era, such directors are destined to only pass by Hollywood.

After lunch, the crew left the Disney Studios and moved to Harvey Weinstein’s private club in Malibu. Next, they will borrow the swimming area here to film Alan Ruston who still loves sports after his amputation. And many other life scenes.

There is not much description of this scene in the script, but Natalie wants to take a multi-faceted shot, through a quick editing method, to show the real life of the brave man after his recovery.

How to turn a person into a disabled person in the film? Too simple for Hollywood.

The makeup artist wrapped Ryan's right hand from below the elbow joint into a thin green screen, so that it would not affect his next diving in the pool, and he could easily erase this arm during post-production. .

"The effect of your weight loss does not seem to be obvious."

When she walked to stand by the pool, Natalie looked up and down at Ryan, who was wearing only big swimming trunks. "How heavy are you now?"

"Dear."

Poke his chest, Ryan said helplessly, "I now only have less than 180 pounds. Am I going to reduce it to 130 pounds like I did when I filmed "The Pianist"?"

"I just suggest you do better." Natalie couldn't help but think of 130-pound Ryan. It was skinny and terrifying. "Alright, get ready, we're going to start shooting. "

After speaking, she walked back behind the monitor.

The three underwater cameras had already been prepared. After Natalie called to start, Ryan jumped into the pool and swam to the opposite side in a normal posture.

While swimming, he had to control his expression and speed, and the camera in front slowly backed away at a steady speed.

With the sound of water, Ryan swam out of the water, leaned on the edge of the pool, and looked at a group of people on the opposite side. This group of extras are guest stars of various types of work in the crew, and they don’t need anything. Acting, just stand there as naturally as possible.

The camera flickered, and Natalie called to stop again.

"This shot has passed, ready for the next one!"

Although many extras were added to the shots here, it is still Ryan's one-man show. Today, he is in a particularly good state. Most of the shots have been done at once, and the efficiency of the crew has also improved a lot. Originally, it was planned to finish shooting in a day and a half All of the scenes were completed in just one afternoon.

When he got out of the clothes, Ryan found that the crew was about to return to the Disney studio. Natalie confessed a few words to the assistant director and came over Alison just called. "She turned the phone in her hand, "She is waiting for us in North Hollywood." "

"She came back from the sea?" Ryan asked, pulling Natalie to follow the crew to the parking lot, "Is something wrong with her?"

"I want to have dinner with us." Natalie said as she walked. "It seems that Emma Watson, who went to sea together, is also here."

Ryan knew that the crew of "Harry Potter" had come to Los Angeles a long time ago and was preparing to participate in the upcoming Oscars. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" could not get the heavyweight award, but Still won a lot of technical award nominations such as the best visual effects.

Besides, the appearance of the crew on the Oscar red carpet is also one of the best publicity methods for the next film.

In the next few years, basically a Harry Potter movie will be released every year.

After arriving in North Hollywood, Ryan and the two went directly to Mr. Zhou's restaurant and met Tyler and Miss Hermione who was sitting with her and chatting closely. (To be continued...) ()
