After 10 days of shooting, the long-lens work finally ushered in a breakthrough after entering the 11th day.

The first 12 minutes and 30 seconds of shots, including the preparation time, took them 20 minutes, and the second 5 minutes and 30 seconds of shots, they finished shooting in just seven minutes.

Both shoots were done in one go, one shot to the end, with only a few minor adjustments in between, no mistakes, no problems, and all the shots were done smoothly, which made people feel happy, and the final result was even more admirable.

At the end of the shoot, all eyes fell on Alfonso.

Lan Li, Rooney, and most of the crew had no way to leave their posts, because it was too troublesome, because filming might have to continue, and they had to stay in place at all times, and because the images rendered without special effects were too monotonous, and they really couldn't see why.

As a result, only the director and special effects teams stood behind the monitors to watch the replay, waiting for the final verdict from Alfonso.

Slowly, Alfonso straightened up, held his chin and pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand, made an "OK" gesture, and raised his voice to say, "Perfect!"

In an instant, all the staff in the entire studio cheered in unison, heartily venting the toil and hardship of the past ten days, which was not only the completion of a long shot, but also the feat of writing a new history of film technology, the kind of satisfied joy and happiness, which made everyone cheer and jump wildly.

It's as if it's finished today.

It's a pity that Lan Li and Rooney are still tied to the basket, their bodies are extremely clumsy, and they clapped their hands hard, but they can only make a muffled "bang" sound, which is not emotional at all;

So, the two of them lowered their arms and stood in place speechlessly, quietly waiting for the white fog to disappear, and then they saw each other slowly appear in sight, and the staff next to them were still running happily, and the effect of "rocks and rivers" appeared again, and it seemed that no one wanted to invite them to join the party at all.

In each other's eyes, a similar helplessness and absurdity were vaguely revealed, and then at the same time, they couldn't help but laugh. Such a performance experience can be regarded as a rare memory.

……

The party lasted less than three minutes before it subsided. Although the first long take is definitely the most difficult hurdle to overcome in the whole film, it does not mean that the film is done, at least in terms of the length of the film, eighteen minutes is only one-sixth of the whole film.

Lan Li and Rooney were not in a state of dismissal, so the drama affairs stepped forward directly and began to explain the filming of the next scene.

The sudden appearance of the drama business, Lan Li and Rooney were both a little uncomfortable.

In the past eleven days, the whole crew has been filming the same scene over and over again, all the content is similar, there is no need for the appearance of the show, they already have a complete structure and blueprint in their minds, and there is no doubt that every interruption, the next start is bound to start from the beginning, and it is also a new beginning.

In a trance, in the "Gravity" crew, they seemed to see the drama for the first time. The sense of familiarity has only come back a little, and it seems to be back in the regular crew of other works again.

"Edward, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Lan Li smiled apologetically, and Edard-Brett stopped his explanation, cast a listening look, and then Lan Li said seriously, "I thought, before I start the next scene, can I rest for five minutes, I need a little gentleman's private space." ”

In the past, every day of filming was long and arduous, and the actors were trapped in spacesuits, ranging from six or seven hours to thirteen or fourteen hours.

Once there are three urgents, there must be a set of tedious procedures, first leave the basket, then take off the spacesuit, put on a cold and windproof coat, go to the bathroom, and after solving the problem, come back again, step by step to put on again.

The whole process takes at least 20 minutes, maybe longer if it's a woman, and 40 minutes is the basis if you need to touch up.

There is also a hassle in addition to this. In order to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom, Lan Li and Rooney want to avoid drinking water as much as possible, but they have to drink water as they wear spacesuits and are exposed to light boxes, and the temperature is rising faster than they think.

So, this creates an endless loop.

Now, when she wakes up in the morning, she drinks as little water as possible to keep her morning in good shape. But today's situation is more special, the first shot is finally finished, and after the pressure has eased, he needs to solve his life/physics/needs, and at the same time, he needs to re-read the script:

Because, the memory of the lines is really a little blurry. No one expected that today's filming would pass in one go, and the lines of the follow-up scenes still need to be reawakened.

Therefore, Lan Li interrupted Edward's work and made a request.

Originally, Rooney was a little surprised, such an unprofessional behavior really didn't look like Lan Li's style, but after thinking about it carefully, she reacted and said apologetically, "Edward, yes, I also need a little lady's private space." ”

After the joy and excitement of the first scene were settled, she also realized that the content of the scene after that, her memory was actually a little blurred!

The main thing is to shoot the same scene repeatedly for eleven days, which is really too long, and there is no end in sight, which completely disrupts the preparation rhythm and cycle of the actors. Now, seeing the drama, the habits rooted in the body are gradually returning.

Edward was stunned, he didn't know why, he wasn't an actor after all, so he naturally didn't know about this, but he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, no problem." ”

It's just that after turning around and leaving the light box, he thought about it seriously, but still had no clue, so he ran to Nathan and asked solemnly, "Did I make any mistake just now?"

After much deliberation, this is the conclusion that Edward has reached. Later, when Lan Li learned about it, he couldn't laugh or cry, on the one hand, because Edward was an honest man, and on the other hand, because his vampire name seemed to accumulate little by little.

……

After the filming of the first scene, not only the two actors, but also the rest of the crew had to readjust their state, return to the rhythm of regular filming again, and communicate comprehensively with each scene, lighting, drama, director, etc., and ensure that the director's requirements can be met between each scene and each scene, even if it is shot in chronological order, which is also very important.

Luckily, it only took half an hour for both actors to show their dedication and dedication, escaping the long shooting of the first long shot and continuing to dive into the subsequent shoots.

One day, two days...... The speed of the whole shooting process is far beyond imagination, and after the most difficult scenes, now all the crew have found the right rhythm and method, as Timothy said, the shooting speed is completely smooth.

In just a few days, Rooney's role has come to the end.

Today, Lan Li and Rooney must be involved in filming the scene where Alex gives up on himself and fulfills Ryan, after this scene, there is only one scene left in Ryan's mind that he fantasized about before he died, and other than that, Rooney can rest.

But before the official break, this scene is crucial, because Lan Li and Rooney have talked and discussed, hoping to give Alex more space in this scene, build a bridge between her and Ryan, and pave the way for resonance and fantasy later.

Ryan and Alex survived the first wave of impact and explosion, killing all the rest of the station, and destroying the station itself, leaving the two of them to survive on the nearest Russian space station.

After a long and lonely journey, the two arrived at the space station, only to face a terrible situation where the fuel was about to run out and the oxygen was on a red light.

Accidentally, the tie between Ryan and Alex breaks, and both lose control in space. In an emergency, Ryan grabbed the handle on the outer wall of the space station, but Alex slammed into Ryan, causing both of them to leave the station's support point at the same time in a powerful collision.

The ropes around the perimeter tied Ryan's ankles, halting Ryan's departure momentum and leaving Alex out of control. In the nick of time, Ryan grabbed Alex's rope and saved Alex before he could completely escape into the darkness of space.

However, Alex's forward momentum was too strong to be completely relieved, and even dragged Ryan into the abyss little by little, and the rope that bound Ryan's ankle was being loosened. If Alex doesn't let go, then both of them will be a mass of space junk.

It all happened in the flash of light, and Alex let go of the ropes, giving up on himself, and fulfilling Ryan's life. It's a multiple-choice question with no other choice, either Ryan stays or dies together, and there's no third choice.

It is in this short moment of life and death that Lan Li and Rooney hope to inject more performance connotation!
