1111 dark as tide
The reason why the first long shot scene was so difficult was because of all the reasons.
One of them is because all the pictures are placed in a constant space environment. Not only the light angle and spatial position cannot be simulated on the earth, it also puts forward almost stringent requirements for computer special effects and related departments; but also because the actors The performance must be completed in an "unsupported" environment. The reference points and borrowing points between actors and actors, actors and objects are all wrong, creating more difficulties..
But as the filming progressed, the environment in the story began to change, and the number of backgrounds that could provide reference gradually increased. This also provided Alfonso with more leverage points, and the difficulty of filming naturally decreased. Although The effect of space is still a problem, but after solving the technical problem of the opening long shot, things have become easier..
This is the scene today.
We are also in a light box, and the change of lighting is still an important part of the effect of space. However, the relative position of the camera lens has begun to be fixed, and the cooperative movements between the IRIS robotic arm and the actors have become thicker, simpler and more direct; At the same time, the central shooting prop has been changed from a basket to an escape cabin seat. The actor's posture and condition have been greatly improved, which is a good thing for the performance..
But as far as Renly is concerned, the difference is not that big. The entire shooting environment has gradually become familiar, and he has become accustomed to the comfort and discomfort. In the final analysis, this is still a difficult shooting, staying in the light box for more than ten hours. , this is still a torment.
Moreover, compared to the first shot, the camera gradually zoomed in and out, and all the weight of the core of the film fell on the actors, weakening the visual impact brought by the technology. It is difficult for actors to tell the story. Naturally, it rises straight up.
Perhaps, the only difference is that after this period of training, Renly has become completely accustomed to the shooting environment of the light box. Even after more than ten hours of marathon shooting, he was sweating, exhausted, and exhausted, and he had gradually forgotten about it. Instead of physical pain and mental torture, now I have changed to a more comfortable sitting position, which allows me to further forget about these additional distractions. I can devote 100% of my attention to studying the performance wholeheartedly..
In the words of Rooney Mara, "This is the special function of an actor, but his skills are deeper than mine.".”
Now, Renly is sitting in the seat of the escape cabin. The stage manager and other staff have left, ensuring that they are out of the capture range of the camera so that the filming can proceed smoothly..
Alfonso's voice could be heard in his ears. He was confirming the preparations of various departments, but without warning, Renly's voice broke the balance. "I need five minutes." Renly said loudly, There was no specific explanation, but he reiterated, "Give me five minutes.".”
This was a temporary unexpected situation that had never happened before in filming. All the staff’s eyes fell on Alfonso, waiting for the director’s decision..
Alfonso was a little panicked, and the first reaction in his mind was to ask, "What happened?".”
But as soon as the question came out of his mouth, Alfonso realized that he had acted too hastily..
Renly is a dedicated actor. For a perfect scene, he is willing to do his best, even torturing himself over and over again. Similarly, if there is an unexpected situation that needs adjustment, he is also the first to take the initiative to bring it up. of.
Alfonso knew nothing about acting. Even if Renly explained it, he couldn't understand it. But what is certain is that their ultimate goal is the same. Therefore, his question is actually a bit redundant..
Sure enough, Renly didn't explain. He just raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and repeated again, "It's just...five minutes.".”
This time, Alfonso did not continue to speak. Instead, he pressed his hands down to signal everyone to keep quiet. Then he turned his head and gestured to convey this meaning to other staff behind him. If there were ripples, the entire The studio just slowly became quiet..
……
Renly realized that something wasn't right with him. It wasn't a special situation, it was just a feeling. He couldn't explain it. He needed to calm down and calm down. That's all..
Close your eyes, open your arms, and let the darkness surge in like a tide. All thoughts in your brain are completely emptied. Even the slightest distracting thoughts are cleared out, as if your entire mind is completely immersed in it. In the boundless darkness, those noises gradually drifted away, turning into echoes stirring in the air, and finally disappeared completely..
Wandering in the darkness and tranquility, it is a very wonderful feeling. The ethereal and spacious touch gently surges on the surface of the skin, and you can even feel the surging touch of the gurgling stream, sliding softly over the skin. Invisible pores, and then the slightest bit of chill and coolness passes through the pores, seeps into the blood bit by bit, and wraps around the bones up and down..
The whole person seemed to become heavier, but also seemed to become lighter. The whole person was immersed in such contradictory feelings. Slowly, slowly, the body began to float. Such a feeling is really indescribable. It's as if... it's as if the darkness has turned into a substantial tide and is overflowing..
However, it is not swallowing, but floating. The body just floats on the surface of the black tide, becoming lighter, softer, and more delicate, as if the fingertips can describe the shape and texture of the water. Finally, completely Integrating with it; at the same time, the pulling feeling caused by gravity is slowly disappearing, and the heaviness gradually melts into the tide, creating a feeling similar to floating on the surface of the Dead Sea.
Subtle, yet complex.
Suddenly, all the tides completely disappeared, but the dark fog still existed. The whole person was floating in the endless darkness, and the body began to swing unconsciously, and the arms and thighs were out of control. Floating randomly and irregularly, as if you were in the universe, completely cutting off the connection with gravity, unable to reach the sky or the ground..
The feeling of duckweed staying in mid-air brought a kind of panic and fear from deep inside. He couldn't help but start to flutter his hands, trying to grab some leverage points, and his feet began to mess around. Kicking and beating, trying to find a landing spot, but it was all in vain. The harder I tried, the more helpless I became and the more panic I felt..
That kind of panic, after experiencing fear, anger, annoyance, irritability and helplessness, eventually evolved into despair and powerlessness, tightly binding the wrists, ankles, waist and neck, controlling every part and every part of the resistance. Movement, even the last bit of resistance was completely strangled..
So, I regained my peace, my heart was as calm as death..
The endless darkness turned into endless loneliness and sadness.
Renly opened his eyes again, turned his head slightly, and looked not far away, as if he was looking into the distance, beyond the crowd, through the studio, and even beyond the earth, peering into the vastness and mystery of the universe, far and deep. His eyes suddenly became hollow, as if they could fill the entire sky.
But the wonderful thing is that those seemingly empty eyes interpret too many emotions. The vicissitudes of the sea and the changes in the world are so complicated that it is indescribable. I can't find an accurate word at all, and I start to feel sad inexplicably. My soul You can feel the sadness deep down.
Suddenly, Alfonso thought of the movie "The Tree of Life". He didn't know why, but he just remembered it..
This time, Alfonso knew that Renly was ready without any hint from Renly, so he quickly called the crew to complete the preparations, and then officially announced the start of filming..
“Start filming！”
After Alfonso's voice sounded, there was a crisp sound of clapping, and everyone held their breath, fearing that the slightest movement would disrupt the filming of the scene, but surprisingly, Renly did not react. , it was still quiet in the studio, as if everyone was playing the game of "One Two Three Wooden Man".
As they waited, everyone began to look at each other, secretly exchanging glances, and began to worry: Is Renly not ready yet? Or maybe Renly didn't hear the sound of filming starting? So what should we do now?？
Once again, all eyes fell on Alfonso..
This time, Alfonso took a deep breath and did not speak in a hurry, nor did he pay attention to the expectant eyes. He just stared at Renly, quietly waiting for the next change and reaction. Involuntarily, he also Gradually he slowed down his breathing, and even started to hold his breath, without even realizing it..
Emmanuel was even more focused, his eyes always firmly fixed on Renly. The depth and vastness conveyed in the lens stirred up a steady stream of inspiration in his mind, as if he could see through Renly's eyes. Seeing the mystery of the universe and the magnificence of life, Emmanuel's adrenaline began to burst out, and the whole world seemed to become brighter..
Emmanuel likes moments like this. There are no lines, no actions, and there seems to be no modification. There are just sparks between the actors and the camera, the actors and the picture. Everything is presented to the audience simply and clearly, and the The audience is also left with space to think and reminisce.
This is the true exchange at the artistic level. It is not a one-sided pouring and indoctrination, but a back-and-forth and communication between each other..
Just when everyone was about to give up, thinking that Renly hadn't heard the signal to start filming, a small sound sounded on the scene. If it weren't for the complete silence in the studio, it would be almost impossible to hear it. Despite this, , you still have to prick up your ears to catch the subtle sounds.
“Houston…Houston？”
