1067 Repeating old tricks
“Wow.”
Involuntarily, Renly's exclamations came out of his mouth. Matt-Kasmir, who was helping Renly secure his position, couldn't help but stop what he was doing. "What? It's too tight? You feel it?" Feeling the pain？”
“There is no pain, but now I can feel the pressure after the bones contract. Is this normal? "Renly said his thoughts honestly. Now Matt is fixing Renly in the basket. The strap on his chest is pulled a little tight, and you can feel a chest tightness..
“Yes, this is normal." Matt nodded in affirmation, "Is your breathing still smooth? If I feel further pressure, I will stop..”
Carefully, Matt adjusted the contraction belt again, and did not stop until Renly shouted stop, "We need to completely fix your limbs. On the one hand, we need to make sure that you don't move when the basket is rotating. It will become loose and will not cause accidents; on the other hand, it is the only way to ensure that the entire shooting angle will not cause errors..”
“So, what about the body movements during the performance? "Now, Renly is no longer a rookie. He has enough understanding of the filming process and immediately raised the corresponding doubts..
Matt nodded in realization, "Oh, in some specific shots, it's too dangerous, and injuries may occur due to excessive twisting of the arms or thighs. Therefore, in the performance, we still focus on actors. You complete the performance, and the rest is done by CGI.”
Renly thought of the movie "Children of Men". The baby in it was completely created using computer special effects..
“You mean, my body may be all made of computer special effects.？”
“Yes. In some pictures, it may be just a leg; in other pictures, only your head is real, and the other parts are all completed by computer post-production special effects..”
Renly nodded slightly in realization, but the action of nodding was not too easy..
Now, Renly really felt the actual experience of being tied up. His hands, feet, chest, waist, ankles, every position was fixed, completely unable to move; not only that, Renly was also wearing a space suit. , a real space suit, bulky and stuffy.
The whole person seemed to be imprisoned in a box, and then thrown into another box. The heavy feeling came up layer by layer, and an inexplicable dullness made people faintly start to feel irritable. The breathing was still the same. It's smooth, and my chest is still relaxed, but I just feel out of breath..
Even the act of nodding has become cumbersome..
“How does it feel? Rooney stood next to the basket, raised her head, with a curious look on her face, "Under such circumstances, will the rhythm of the performance be affected?" "Even as a bystander, Rooney can feel the heaviness of the restraint and confinement, as if a performer's touch is imprisoned..
“Now I'm pretty sure that I'm still not interested in binding or anything like that." In his dull mood, Renly answered easily and creatively..
The light box was stunned for a moment, and then all the staff couldn't help but chuckle. Rooney was even more stunned, and then laughed and shook her head helplessly, "It seems that the impact is not as expected. medium so big.”
Renly looked around, but did not see Alfonso - it was not convenient to turn around now, and his field of vision was very limited, "Director, is every scene shot like this?"？”
“During the filming of "Buried Alive", the activity space was only the size of a coffin, but at least you could struggle and resist, and your limbs could move. But now the whole person is tied up and unable to move at all. The state and situation of the performance are instantly different..
“No, there are only a few scenes like this. At other times, the chest, waist and hips are fixed, but your limbs can move." Alfonso came around and stood in front of Renly, "Why? So, now why don’t you run the camera lens and get a feel for it?？”
“Okay." Renly agreed simply..
On-site shooting test begins.
The IRIS robotic arm began to move quickly, looking like a Transformer; in addition, the two fixed-view cameras on the left and right sides of the basket also began to operate, and the green lights both lit up; you can also notice from the corner of your vision that in different directions They all set up cameras and started taking pictures at the same time..
This feeling is very strange, just like being in a large-scale reality show like "The Truman Show". The ubiquitous cameras record all aspects of the actors, and there is nowhere to escape; what's more, Renly is now completely trapped. Imprisoned in the basket, unable to move, thus becoming unable to escape.
For a moment, Renly felt uncomfortable and began to panic..
However, he could not determine the source of the emotion: maybe it was because all the cameras started running at the same time, so that the performance had no focus or object, distracting attention; maybe it was because the body could not move, causing the performance to be confined in a frame, He tried to struggle reflexively; maybe it was for other reasons that were unclear.……
This sense of uncertainty makes the panic become more and more intense..
However, based on past experience, Renly did not let himself continue to panic. Instead, he closed his eyes, slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then raised his voice and asked, "Under what circumstances will all the camera lenses be turned on? What?" In this case, only a specific camera will be turned on？”
Alfonso immediately began to explain, and guided Renly step by step into the weightless world he had constructed, presenting all the shooting principles and picture concepts..
Gradually, instead of Alfonso's unilateral explanation, Renly also began to put forward opinions and questions, and occasionally Rooney's questions could be heard. Then, the communication began. The shooting mode gradually formed a model in his mind..
What is certain is that the performance of "Gravity" is a serious challenge. The actors need to adjust their performance methods and content according to the different shooting methods; and, compared with "Buried Alive", the lighting changes and the shooting trajectory are different. Differences put forward more and more complex requirements.
But in the final analysis, performance is still performance, and all weight falls on the actor’s own understanding and perception..
The voice of Rooney and Alfonso's conversation was still echoing in her ears. At a certain moment, it suddenly stopped. "Renly?" interrupted Renly's thoughts, "Renly? Are you okay? Why are you You didn't speak just now, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Rooney asked with concern..
Suddenly, Renly's voice disappeared. Rooney was still not used to it, so she immediately noticed Renly's silence. After being reminded, Alfonso also noticed the abnormality and cast his gaze..
“It's okay." Renly showed a smile, "I was just thinking about what the emotions brought about by the space environment feel like.？”
Loneliness, fear, magnificence, and despair. How do different emotions appear in space? And how did Ryan Stone’s trials and tribulations evolve?？
Without personal experience, Renly had no way of knowing, but what was certain was that this was obviously completely different from a coffin "buried alive".
Back then, in order to star in "Buried Alive", Renly locked himself in a coffin for a full eight hours. It was a painful and dark memory, but if it happened again, Renly would choose to experience it for himself without hesitation; now , Renly wanted to experience the feeling of space, but he had no way to really be in space.——
NASA's Vomit Comet can create a weightless effect, but obviously this requires an application in advance. Time is too tight now and it may be too late..
After Renly raised the question, the noise in the entire studio gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and no one could answer. There was a sense of joy in the scene, which made Renly chuckle..
“Obviously, your question goes beyond the scope of professional knowledge. We can watch documentaries, watch interviews with astronauts, and even talk on the phone with real astronauts, but we have never been into space, nor have we truly experienced the state of weightlessness for a long time. So..." Alfonso spread his hands and expressed his helplessness..
Renly didn't mind, "Then, this is the job of an actor." A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and after taking a deep breath, Renly said bluntly, "There shouldn't be any other uses for this instrument today, right? I can i stay here？”
“……”Alfonso didn't quite understand and turned to look at Timothy, but Timothy couldn't give an answer, "What does it mean to stay here?"？”
“Just staying in this position, I don't mean an hour, two hours, but...well, I don't know, ten hours? Or twelve hours? "Renly was not sure, but he explained further, "I want to really feel the feeling of being in a space environment for a long time. You know, there is no one talking to you, so you start talking to yourself; or Yes, talk some boring nonsense with other colleagues.”
Midway through his words, Renly paused again and fell into his own thoughts. Alfonso, Timothy and others just stood aside, at a loss..
Looking around, Rooney hesitated for a moment, and then said aloud, "What Renly means is that he is in the entire empty and vast environment, but his body is trapped in the spacesuit and the narrow space. Understand the changes in psychology and mentality as time passes.”
All eyes were focused on Rooney, and she looked at Renly, "So, Renly hopes to stay here for a long time and feel all the details of the changes firsthand.".”
“Yes, that's what I thought." Renly finally came to his senses and said aloud, his eyes fell on Rooney, and he chuckled and teased, "Sorry, I guess you won't be able to get your number in the queue today..”
Rooney shrugged lightly, "Don't worry about me. Anyway, you will come out sooner or later, and then it will be my turn.".”
His eyes moved back and forth between Renly and Rooney. Alfonso's face was full of anxiety. How long had it been before these two people actually had the intention to joke around? "Renly, are you sure? This is not good."？”
“Yes, I'm sure, I'm absolutely sure." Renly replied..
