Take a deep breath, take a deep breath again.
Thump thump thump thump, the beating speed of the heart still did not slow down, because it was too fast, so that the chest began to hurt. After the tension reached the extreme, the hands and feet began to tremble slightly, so I simply held my breath and started to hold my breath. , and then the sound of the heart hitting the eardrums gradually calmed down, and it seemed that the mood had finally calmed down a little..
But holding your breath is not a long-term solution after all..
His cheeks began to turn red. After all, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He let out a long breath with a "pop" sound, but the palpitation in his heart still lingered, and then he started jumping in place, as if Like a small flea, it jumps and moves its limbs, completely relaxing the tension and restlessness. It is still eye-catching among the crowds of people on the set..
“Are you getting ready to play now? 100 meters? Two hundred meters? Or 10,000 meters？”
A joking voice came from the side, which startled Timothée Chalamet. He covered his heart with his hands on his chest, leaning on the wooden dining table behind him with a frightened expression, his eyes fierce. She closed her eyes tightly, breathing heavily, her legs and knees couldn't help but feel weak, and it seemed that she might fall to the ground at any time. Her "coquettish/shy" look really made people laugh..
“Hahahaha." MacKenzie-Foy laughed loudly without any shame, completely laughing..
Timothy closed his eyes tightly, still daring not to open them, just like a coward in a horror movie who realizes the existence of ghosts. "Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ!" He took a few breaths and said in a slightly trembling voice. Said, "Renly, you might really scare people to death like this. God, I think my bladder won't be able to hold it anymore.".”
MacKenzie smiled so happily that her voice almost disappeared. She turned forward and backward, almost falling off the chair..
Renly, who was standing next to him, had an innocent look on his face: he just wanted to make a little joke. Looking at Timothy's warm-up and relaxation movements, he looked like an athlete, so he used the Olympic Games to play. He was joking about it as a metaphor, but he didn't expect to create such an effect. It's not his fault..
Timothy didn't hear the sound, so he opened his eyes cautiously, and then Renly's figure came into view. He couldn't help showing an embarrassed and jerky expression, and couldn't help scratching his head, and the big curly hair appeared. The fluffy body began to shake, and it looked like a poodle was shaking its head..
“I...uh...I..." Timothy stammered, "I'm just preparing for the first scene..”
“That's good. I thought you were going to compete in the Pan American Games." Renly said with a smile, but neither Timothy nor MacKenzie smiled. MacKenzie couldn't catch the laugh, while Timothy He doesn't have the energy to worry about other things. All his attention is now focused on the first scene of the day..
Yesterday, the crew of "Interstellar" officially started filming a scene.
However, Christopher Nolan is an alternative director. He gathered all the actors together in the first scene, and then shot a landscape scene. Yes, a pure panoramic scene of scenery without the participation of actors..
In order to ensure a good start for the first scene, other crews always choose a relatively simple scene to start the scene; and Christopher, in order to ensure a smooth start, simply chose a scenery scene. Without the performance of the actors, there is naturally no possibility of mistakes. , the photographer only needs to capture the panoramic view according to the director's requirements, and that's it.
Sure enough, the shooting went smoothly without any errors..
For young actors like Timothy and Mackenzie, they don't know why and can't understand Christopher's approach. They just think that this is an alternative director; but for senior actors like Renly, he gradually After understanding the director's perspective and conception, especially after finishing the filming of "Gravity", my feelings became deeper and more direct..
Christopher is a director who adheres to tradition. It’s not that he rejects new technologies, but that his understanding of movies is traditional and academic.：
For example, movies can only feel their greatest charm in a movie theater. This is why movies and TV movies are two completely different art forms. The audio-visual experience and sensory shock are both parts that movie theaters cannot erase; for another example, movies The unique film texture cannot be replaced by digital photography, and those film grains are also one of the charms of movies..
and so on.
This also includes refusing to shoot with a green screen. As long as it can be shot on location, Christopher will definitely find a way to complete it on location..
Just like this time "Interstellar Crossing"”.
In the movie, after Cooper retired, he chose to become a farmer and grow corn. There was a vast cornfield right in front of his home. At the same time, corn was one of the few animals that could survive in the apocalyptic environment in the background of the movie. Planting one of the plants has also led to an increasing number of professional farmers and has become one of the mainstream professions. In other words, this is part of the story.
Faced with such a situation, planting large areas of cornfields is obviously time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the movie shots only take a few seconds, and may even be just background images that no one cares about. Most directors will choose computer special effects to create cornfields. .From the perspective of production cost consumption, the two methods are comparable, and the actual planting may be cheaper; but the time consumption and shooting difficulty are not at the same level at all, and computer special effects are far simpler..
But Christopher is different - he really started planting this vast cornfield months in advance, just to be able to truly create the texture of the picture..
Christopher's character can be seen in such small details..
Therefore, when shooting panoramic images, the importance of light is unparalleled..
In fact, Christopher has almost strict requirements for lighting. When filming "Inception", considering the multiple effects of weather, light, dreams, reality, etc., the studio often spends several hours slowly adjusting the lighting, looking forward to finding the perfect scene. To achieve the most perfect shooting conditions, the actors may need to stand idle for a long time, but Christopher still refuses to give up his persistence.
The "Gravity" light box is the best direct proof of this. The impact of light on the viewing effect is far beyond the imagination of ordinary viewers..
Christopher's regular photographer Wally-Pfister is a top veteran in the industry. They have worked together on the "Batman" series, "The Prestige", "Inception", "Memento", " "White Nights," which means that, with the exception of Christopher's debut feature, "The Following," Valli has worked on all of his films, earning four Oscar nominations and winning best with "Inception." Photography Award.
The collaboration between Christopher and Valli was undoubtedly close, and the two had a close personal relationship..
Later, Warner Bros. was preparing to shoot the movie "Transcendence" and found Johnny Depp to star. When considering the director, Valli entered the waiting list - a case of switching from cinematographer or editor to director. There are many in Hollywood, and when Warner Bros. asked Christopher for his opinion, he strongly recommended his good friend.
In the end, Valli successfully took over the directorship of "Transcendental Hacker" and began to direct the first film of his career; while Christopher had to face the dilemma of not having a photographer when filming "Interstellar".
After many twists and turns, Swiss photographer Hoyte-Van-Hoytema became the official photographer of "Interstellar". This photographer became famous with the Swedish horror movie "Keep Out" , and then photographed works such as "Fighter", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "Her", etc. He is a calm and elegant photographer..
“The collaboration with "Interstellar" was undoubtedly a pleasure. Later, he also supervised "007: Specter" and collaborated with Christopher on "Dunkirk".”.
However, now Hoyt and Christopher have to start from scratch. Both of them are exploring each other's habits. Regarding light, camera movement and orbit, their creative ideas are constantly colliding. Therefore, the first day they joined the crew At that time, Christopher did not start shooting the actors' scenes rashly, but the scenery. His original intention was to warm up the photographer..
The director and photographer spent the entire afternoon on the first day adjusting the lighting and composition, discussing, overturning, and rebuilding over and over again. This was obviously not an easy task, but it set the tone for the entire crew. Necessary preparations. This is also Christopher’s shooting habit.
The start-up process may seem like a piece of cake to many people, but it is the most important part of the entire film collaboration..
Today, the crew will start filming the official first scene.
In the first scene, four actors will be mobilized, Renly, Timothy, Mackenzie and veteran actor John-Lithgow who plays Cooper's father-in-law Donald, to film a breakfast scene.
As an actor, it was his first scene to be filmed. The camera scheduling and the difficulty of the lines were relatively ordinary, but Timothy was still so nervous that he didn't know what to do..
Looking at Timothy in front of him, Renly recalled his first scene when he entered the "Pacific War" crew. He didn't even know where to put his eyes. The feeling of embarrassment and nervousness was still vivid in his mind. But it is also the best portrayal of freshness and excitement, vitality and vitality.
Renly did not comfort Timothy out loud, because he had been through it himself, and also because he had accumulated a lot of experience now. Those comforts were effective in a short time, but after he actually started filming, the tension would still surge up again, just like chicken soup for the soul. Generally speaking, after all, it is impossible to change the status quo and can only relieve anxiety..
Instead, Renly leaned next to the dining table and asked casually, "How was your sleep last night? You probably weren't too excited to fall asleep."？”
Just like everyday conversation.
