1085 Let yourself go
In the midst of all the busyness, Rooney and Renly are each other's only friends. In order to cooperate with the crew's preparations, the wisest thing they can do is to keep their mouths shut, not to disturb anyone's work, and play their role well. The role of a wallflower. However, two people can still have fun with each other..
“It is estimated that in the entire Hollywood, this is the only one who dares to treat Renly Hall's crew like this. There is no other semicolon." Rooney blinked narrowly and said jokingly, "If other film companies know about it, Everyone will beat their chests and fight against you..”
Renly pursed his lips, deliberately showing a thoughtful expression, then shrugged, and said extremely seriously, "Obviously, the remuneration they paid me was very considerable, and for the sake of the number, I tolerated it..”
After saying that, Renly looked at Rooney again, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "What deserves more attention is isn't Rooney Mara, who is currently the hottest in Hollywood? Not only is she willing to play a supporting role, but she has also suffered The reason for such a cold reception deserves a closer look..”
“Well, there's always something to be paid for working with the best actors, right? Rooney looked at Renly calmly and generously. The burning gaze actually made Renly's cheeks slightly hot. She originally wanted to tease Rooney, but was turned against him and ended up laughing..
Before Renly could respond, at this moment, "Renly, Rooney, are you ready?" Emmanuel's voice suddenly sounded, planning to talk..
Then, Emmanuel's slovenly face appeared between the two people, like a gopher, looking left and right. It was really shocking to see him like this. After coming over, he was even more filled with joy, but the situation was resolved invisibly. After noticing the wonderful atmosphere between Renly and Rooney, Emmanuel lowered his jaw meaningfully..
If Emmanuel was joking on purpose, it was just a joke. Whether it was Renly or Rooney, they could make Emmanuel speechless and helpless in minutes..
However, after Emmanuel showed a hesitant expression, he concealed the topic in a subtle way, and his dodged gaze seemed extremely clumsy. Instead, he cleverly created strange sparks, and the atmosphere immediately began to ferment..
“Are you ready? Now let’s actually arrange the shots. Instead of following the shooting process, we will test the control and operation of the IRIS robotic arm, and at the same time find the performance rhythm for you, okay? Or... you still need some time？”
Such an obvious hint, almost without a direct explanation, really makes people complain..
There was no eye contact or signals to each other. Renly and Rooney fell silent at the same time, just letting Emmanuel's teasing ferment in the air. Slowly, slowly, Emmanuel himself became embarrassed. He got up and touched his nose in embarrassment, even a little at a loss, not knowing how to continue..
Ridiculing and pranks are not Emmanuel's strong suit. He started well, but became discouraged in an instant. His helpless look really made people laugh..
“Ahem." Emmanuel cleared his throat exaggeratedly, "Then, let's test it now..”
After saying that, Emmanuel almost ran away..
Then, the smiles in Renly and Rooney's eyes both overflowed, and they couldn't help laughing happily..
In just a short while, the light box was cleared, and the final test began immediately..
In the rehearsal stage before, Rooney and Renly were completely props. They were familiar with every node and every process. Compared with performances and lines, controlling and cooperating with the entire shooting was the key; but The current test shooting is different. It mainly involves getting used to performing under the IRIS robotic arm..
Performance still requires familiarity？
This is a paradox, for both actors, but after actually putting themselves into the test, Renly and Rooney understood that in the work "Gravity", because of the huge innovations in technology, Actors' performance methods must also be adjusted accordingly.
To put it simply, the actor stands motionless, and only the camera moves, simulating the visual illusion that the character in the shot is moving, and also simulating the visual effect of the scenery changing in the shot. This also means that the actor's performance must be " Follow the camera and move yourself”.
At the beginning, the test was relatively simple and easy. It was just horizontal movement, vertical overhead shooting, and 360-degree rotation. Although the robotic arm looked a little weird, the difference from the crane cameras in other crews was not obvious; Then, the IRIS robotic arm began to enter crazy mode.
With Renly as the center of the circle and the longitudinal space as the radius, the IRIS robotic arm began to rotate crazily, like a high-speed windmill. The huffing sound made people dizzy; what was even more exaggerated was that the lights in the entire light box It begins to flicker on and off in a certain pattern, over and over again..
After the mechanical arm swung, Renly immediately understood the content of the scene.：
After the explosion and impact, Ryan Stone's tower buckle was still connected to a robotic arm. Unexpectedly, the robotic arm broke during the impact. Compared with the weight of the entire robotic arm, Ryan was just an ant. As a result, the robotic arm began to rotate rapidly along the longitudinal axis, and Ryan was also suspended at the tail end, throwing out a 360-degree loop, one after another..
In this scene, the camera will be shot from far to close, cutting from panorama to close-up, and then from close-up back to panorama, showing Ryan's state in an immersive way, as well as the high-speed operation in space, thorough Out of control visual effects.
In the movie screen, it was Ryan and the robotic arm rotating together; in the actual shooting, Renly and the basket were motionless, and the rotation was completely completed by the IRIS robotic arm, forming a physical relative displacement..
So, the above scene appeared.
For an actor, he must simulate his constant rotation and swing his hands vigorously - this is a conditioned reflex of the body's instinct; his eyes and head must also follow the curve and direction of the rotation due to the constant ups and downs. Moves, looking like a hamster running fast in a cage.
This is a unique performance method. The actor must simulate the real state, and then stand in place, like a madman, directing and acting by himself, just like the situation in the script. The actor must also show the madness and bumps of the world. , which means that Renly must completely let himself go, and at the same time, he must be lifelike and realistic..
Wobbly, wobbly, the speed of the IRIS robotic arm is getting faster and faster, it is really difficult to keep up with the rhythm..
During the test, Renly looked like he was mentally ill. He stood in the basket and waved his hands desperately. At the same time, his head kept swinging up and down, and his vision swayed rapidly along the longitudinal axis like a screen. ; What’s even more exaggerated is that he must have panicked and let out instinctive exclamations and fears..
This is the real letting go of oneself.
To onlookers at the scene, it doesn't look like a profound and delicate acting, but more like a farce with blood spilled on the floor. There is no acting skills and no performance control. It's just a simple and rough mess. , the straightforward performance looks so ridiculous that even a high school drama club's performance wouldn't look like this.……
The ridiculous tone is jaw-dropping, and the absurd and uninhibited effect is like a blowout.
Especially the person involved is Renly, the Renly who is always gentlemanly and elegant, the Renly who is always serious, the Renly who became a blockbuster after joining the crew, the Renly who was the youngest in history to win the Oscar for Best Actor, this... It’s getting weirder and weirder. Such a primitive performance method, which can even be said to be amateur. Are you sure there is no problem?？
Not to mention the staff, even Rooney was completely stunned, with mixed emotions and it was hard to express for a while..
The IRIS robotic arm finally stopped, and everyone was not sure whether this was the effect they expected. Their eyes couldn't help but turn to Alfonso, and they were so dumbfounded that they didn't know how to express it..
But before Alfonso could speak, Renly, who was standing in the basket, adjusted his breathing and laughed happily, because the laughter was so joyful that the breath caused him to cough, and his whole body began to cough violently. , the laughter still couldn’t stop.
Obviously, Renly himself was aware of the problem with the performance, but he was not worried at all. He appeared relaxed and engaged, and he burst into laughter at the first moment. Although people cannot be sure of the specific reason why Renly burst into laughter, at least … Renly has already shown his attitude without the need for criticism from others..
This is a good thing...？
Seeing Renly laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself, the atmosphere at the scene finally found an outlet. After everyone looked at each other, the sense of absurdity burst out, and they couldn't help laughing. After the laughter opened the gate, they couldn't control it anymore. In their minds, Let's once again think back to Renly who let himself go. Such images and scenes are rare, if not once-in-a-lifetime, then definitely rare..
So, all the staff clapped their hands and laughed. Even Alfonso burst into laughter and laughed happily. Then, the entire light box turned into a sea of laughter..
Amidst all this joy, there is one exception.
Emmanuel stood beside him, his face confused, his eyes full of confusion, and endless confusion: things should not be like this, what is going on? So, what exactly happened? Why did they suddenly start laughing collectively? Where's the punchline? Wait, did he miss something?？
Looking around, Emmanuel tried to keep up with the rhythm and twitched his lips, but instead of getting answers to his doubts, there were more and more question marks. Sincerely, can someone explain what exactly happened? who I am? Where is this? What the hell is going on?？
