1087 Smooth sailing
One second, everyone was laughing because of Renly's crude and exaggerated performance; the next second, the two actors Renly and Rooney were arguing over the opportunity to "make a fool of themselves".
The staff standing nearby were a little stunned. Did they miss something? The only two young actors in the crew seem to be a little... not normal. Wait, are all actors so abnormal?？
When they thought about it seriously, they found that they couldn't remember it, because the two actors in front of them had occupied all the thoughts in their minds, as if they were mentally ill. So, this is... a mental hospital? This style of painting doesn’t seem right！
The strange looks from the side had no impact on Renly and Rooney. They were completely immersed in their own world, just like every actor, a real actor..
“Emmanuel, can I try this? Perform under the high-speed moving IRIS robotic arm？”
“I haven't finished the test yet, I want to do it again.”
After this back and forth without giving in, Rooney's eyes immediately widened with an expression full of disbelief, and she argued, "You have already tried once before, and now it is my turn. Have you forgotten? I There are also related performances, please follow the order, okay?？”
“However, my performance just now was really terrible, I need to find my form again! "Renly argued without any sign of weakness..
Rooney still refused to give in, "What if my performance is equally bad? I have to give it a try to know the result.".”
Emmanuel stood beside him and was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to control and respond to such a chaotic scene. He could only say in panic, "Uh... two You two! You don't have to be like this. Maybe your performances are excellent.？”
“not necessarily！”
Renly and Rooney said in unison, and the sound like thunder made Emmanuel stunned. First he was shocked, and then he felt aggrieved - why did they suddenly join forces to target him?？
Having been in Hollywood for so many years, as a top photographer, Emmanuel has met countless actors. They are always used to complimenting each other, and even flattering each other, because actors are narcissistic, even proud, and even refuse Accept any criticism; but for the first time, Renly and Rooney are rushing to belittle themselves..
He always felt that something was not quite right..
However, the two actors who had been quarreling just now suddenly joined forces to deal with him. Emmanuel didn't know what was going on. For a moment, he opened his mouth slightly and froze in place, unable to say a word. come out.
Finally, Timothy Weber came to the rescue, "Don't worry, no matter before or after, you all need to test it again until you adapt to the environment and atmosphere of such a performance. In the 18-minute long opening shot, our error tolerance rate is very low. It is far better to discover problems during the rehearsal stage than to overturn it and start over during the actual shooting..”
As they discussed before, in the eighteen-minute long shot of the film, the protagonist is Alfonso Cuaron, not the two actors - they are just one part of the puzzle, completing their work dutifully and constituting the entire image , to avoid your own mistakes and delay the overall composition.
Now, two actors are trying to eliminate their own "sense of existence" and become part of the whole; similarly, Timothy and Emmanuel also expressed their agreement.
So, Renly and Rooney took turns fighting.
It was originally thought that the rehearsal for the early preparations was over, but before the official shooting, the two actors obviously still need to adapt. After all, they are real people with flesh and blood and thoughts, rather than machines and computers composed of a series of numbers. The actual shooting During the process, there are still many, many situations that need to be dealt with..
First it was Rooney, then Renly, then it was Rooney, and then it was Renly's turn. It felt like... they were on a pirate ship roller coaster ride, bursting with joy and laughter..
Both actors are trying to strip away traces of their performances, return to their original intentions, and use a more original and pure performance method to present human beings' conditioned reflexes under extreme situations, and present a more realistic viewing effect..
After the two actors tried the performance one after another, they quickly communicated and exchanged opinions on each other's performances. Just like the staff were arranging technical equipment before, no one else could interrupt. There were only two actors present in the entire crew. , this time, they were reduced to spectators, quietly watching the two professionals complete their work.
From quarrels to exchanges, from exchanges to quarrels, the two actors' way of getting along, in the eyes of Emmanuel and other staff, is actually no different from that of a madman. They talk about some incomprehensible bible; but The amazing thing is that they can always find more inspiration.
So Emmanuel understood that maybe actors and photographers are the same. They work in their own way, and then sparks collide. However, the channels of actors and photographers are different, just like the channels of a radio station. Generally, these are two completely different channels, but they share the same airwaves.
After everything was ready, the filming of "Gravity" really began.
It is obviously impossible to shoot a super-difficult long shot in one go. The entire crew had already foreseen the difficulty of shooting; but after it actually started, the difficulty was far beyond imagination. For Every department of the crew presented a severe test.
It took two weeks for the crew's cameras to actually run for the first time..
The opening eighteen-minute long shot is a very difficult task. The real difficulty lies in the fact that the various departments fit together perfectly like gears, and are spliced together meticulously in a "German craftsmanship" manner to form an exquisite As a whole, it combines the vast universe and the magnificent narrative in one go..
Among them, the specific work of each link, the tasks of the three departments of photography, lighting and special effects are undoubtedly the top priority and bear the heaviest responsibilities; as for the performance work of the two actors, it is relatively simple and easy Yes, it was not too difficult for Renly and Rooney. They traveled lightly and completed it easily..
The most complicated part of performance work is not the performance itself, but adapting to the performance environment.
Just like performing in front of a green screen, details such as eyes, lines, tone, and body movements must be adjusted, because most of the time you are acting to the air; similarly, when you are in a light box, you must also sit in a basket Among them, the IRIS robotic arm completes all the movements. The actors themselves interpret the moving scenes in a still state, and they also need to adjust..
After gradually getting used to it, Renly and Rooney began to feel like a fish in water..
First, Renly took off all the baggage with ease. In an absolutely relaxed performance state, he seemed to have returned to the novice state he was when he just learned to perform. His strong enthusiasm injected pure, smart eyes and richness into the performance. The changed lines really made people applaud, and the inspiration that came at your fingertips made the performance full of a special temperament..
Under Renly's guidance and guidance, Rooney slowly uncovered the humor beneath her cold appearance, telling the story of her farce with a deadpan expression, and her light tone gave the story an absurd and uninhibited feel. Joking, creating incredible comedy effects.
There was such a subplot during the filming process. Alex and Ryan were maintaining the Hubble Telescope. Ryan was the main technician, and Alex came to help..
In his boredom, Alex started chatting with the correspondent at the Houston base, "So, what is this scanning system used for?"？”
“Nothing, Alex, just new eyes looking out to the edge of the universe.”
“This is supposed to be a medical item, but this is a mockup.”
During the simple conversation, Ryan always completed his work in silence, while Alex made a big circle and came to the opposite side of Ryan. He curiously looked at Ryan who was concentrating on his work. There was a message coming from the Houston base. Confirmation of work, "Waiting to lock." This means that while Alex chatted, Ryan had completed his work..
Alex, however, seemed not to realize this at all. He still stood beside him and swayed gently, performing space walks. Most importantly, his face was expressionless. It didn't look like he was carefree at all, but a little bit. With a wandering meaning, he tilted his head slightly and said calmly, "They will not provide funds for prototypes, even if you have a pair of charming blue eyes..”
When Rooney said this line, the entire crew was stunned.
The original script line was: They will not provide funding for prototypes, even for medical purposes..
But during the performance, Rooney just watched Renly like this. Through the glass cover of the helmet, the basket was shaking gently, but her eyes always fell between Renly's eyebrows. This was an intuition, a performance. intuition.
Alex had a hint of curiosity, but she had no intention of speaking out because she knew that she didn't want others to explore her privacy and story. However, this did not prevent her from quietly observing Ryan..
Alex was waiting for Ryan's reaction. He was stared at by a work colleague for a long time with stern eyes. So what would Ryan say? Or what's the expression?？
Quietly, quietly, that line just blurted out.
What's important is that Alex's words were very calm, not like teasing or ambiguity, nor like striking up a conversation or testing, but more like a young girl who had no strength and inadvertently told the truth. , and then just kill the opponent by surprise..
That kind of wonderful gap makes people don't know whether to cry or laugh. It always feels strange, but they can't explain why. But then, Ryan's answer and demeanor made everything complete..
