The reason why the first long shot scene is difficult is that it is all-round.

One of them is that all the pictures are placed in the space environment at all times, not only the light angle and spatial position cannot be simulated on the earth, which puts forward almost strict requirements for computer special effects and related departments, but also because the actor must be in an "unsupported" environment to complete the performance, the reference and borrowing points between the actor and the actor, the actor and the object are all wrong, creating more difficulty.

However, as the shooting progressed, the environment in the story began to change, and the background that could provide reference began to gradually increase, which also provided Alfonso with more points of reference, and the difficulty of shooting naturally decreased.

That's what happened today.

Also in the light box, the change of lighting is still an important part of the effect of space, but the relative position of the camera lens has begun to be fixed, and the coordination between the IRIS robotic arm and the actor has become thicker and more simple and direct, and at the same time, the shooting prop in the center has also changed from a basket to an escape pod seat, and the actor's posture and state have been greatly improved, which is a good thing for the performance.

But as far as Lan Li is concerned, the difference is not too big, the whole shooting environment has gradually become familiar, comfortable and uncomfortable have been used to it, in the final analysis, this is still a difficult shooting, staying in the light box for more than ten hours, this is still an ordeal.

Moreover, compared with the first shot, the lens began to gradually zoom in and closer, and the weight of the core of the film was all pressed on the actors, weakening the visual impact brought by the technology, and the difficulty of telling the story with the actors naturally rose in a straight line.

Perhaps, the only difference is that after this period of tempering, Lan Li has completely become accustomed to the shooting environment of the light box, even if it is more than ten hours of marathon shooting, sweating, exhaustion, and physical exhaustion, he has gradually forgotten the physical pain and mental torture, and now he has changed to a more comfortable sitting position, which can further forget these additional distractions, and can devote 100% attention to the performance.

In the words of Rooney Mara, "That's the special function of an actor, it's just that he's more skilled than me." ”

Now, Lan Li is sitting in the seat of the escape pod, and the crew and other staff have left, making sure to leave the range of the camera so that the shooting can go smoothly.

Alfonso's voice could be heard in his ears, and he was checking the readiness of the various departments, but without warning, Lan Li's voice upset the balance, "I need five minutes." Lan Li raised his voice and said, without a specific explanation, just emphasizing again, "Give me five minutes." ”

It was a temporary accident that had not occurred in previous shoots, and all the eyes of the crew fell on Alfonso, waiting for the director's decision.

Alfonso was a little flustered, and his first reaction was to ask, "What's wrong?" ”

But as soon as the question came out, Alfonso realized that he had rushed too much.

Lan Li is a dedicated actor who is willing to do everything in his power for a perfect scene, even torturing himself over and over again, and he is also the first to offer if there is an unexpected situation that needs to be adjusted.

Alfonso didn't know anything about acting, and even if Lan Li explained, he couldn't understand it, but it was certain that their ultimate goal was the same. So, his question is actually a little redundant.

Sure enough, Lan Li didn't explain, just raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and repeated again, "It's just...... Five minutes. ”

This time, Alfonso didn't continue to speak, but pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then turned his head to gesture to the rest of the staff behind him. If there are ripples, the whole studio is slowly quiet.

……

Lan Li realized that something was not quite right with her. It's not a special situation, it's just a feeling, he can't explain it clearly, he needs to calm down and calm down the whole person. That's all.

Close your eyes, open your arms, let the darkness come like a tide little by little, all the thoughts in your brain are completely emptied, even the slightest distraction is cleared, as if the whole mind is completely immersed in the boundless darkness, gradually, those noises fade away, become an echo in the air, breathing, and finally disappear completely.

It's a wonderful feeling to wander in the darkness and serenity, the ethereal and empty touch gently surging on the surface of the skin, even the bubbling touch of the gurgling stream, softly gliding over the invisible pores, and then the slightest chill and coolness passing through the pores, little by little in the bloodstream, flipping up and down and winding around the bones.

The whole person seemed to become heavier, but it seemed to become lighter, the whole person was immersed in such a contradictory feeling, slowly, slowly, the body began to float, such a feeling is really indescribable, as if it was ...... It was as if darkness had turned into a substantial tidal wave, overflowing.

However, instead of devouring, it floats, and the body floats on the surface of the black tide, becoming lighter, softer, more delicate, as if the fingertips can trace the shape and texture of the water, and finally, it is completely integrated with it, and at the same time, the pull of gravity is slowly disappearing, and the heaviness gradually dissolves into the tide, creating a feeling similar to floating on the surface of the Dead Sea.

Nuanced, yet complex.

Suddenly, all the tides disappeared completely, but the dark fog still existed, and the whole person floated in the boundless darkness in the air, and the body began to swing unconsciously, and the arms and thighs were out of control, just floating randomly and irregularly, as if they were in the universe, completely cutting off the connection of gravity, unable to reach the sky or the ground.

The feeling of duckweed in mid-air brought a kind of panic and fear from the depths of his heart, and he couldn't help but start fluttering his hands, trying to grab some borrowing points, and his feet began to kick and beat wildly, trying to find a landing spot, but it was only in vain, the more he tried, the more helpless he was, and the more panicked he became.

That kind of panic, after experiencing fear, anger, chagrin, irritability, and helplessness, finally evolved into despair and powerlessness, rigidly tying the wrists, ankles, waist and neck, controlling every part and every movement of resistance, and completely killing even the last trace of resistance.

So, peace was restored, and the heart was as calm as ashes.

That endless darkness has all evolved into endless loneliness and sorrow.

Lan Li opened his eyes again, turned his head slightly, and looked not far away, as if he was looking into the distance, past the crowd, penetrated the studio, and even broke through the earth, spying on the vastness and mystery of the universe.

But the wonderful thing is that the seemingly empty eyes interpret too many emotions, the vicissitudes of life, the changes in the world, are so indescribable that I can't find an accurate word, and I can't find an accurate word, and I can't help but feel the sadness in the depths of my soul.

Suddenly, Alfonso remembered the movie "The Tree of Life" in his mind, and for some reason, he just remembered it.

This time, there was no need for Lan Li to give a hint, Alfonso knew that Lan Li was ready, so he quickly beckoned the crew to complete the preparations, and then officially announced the start of filming.

"Let's shoot!"

Alfonso's voice sounded, followed by a crisp slapping sound, and then everyone held their breath, lest the slightest movement would disrupt the filming of the scene, but surprisingly, Lan Li did not react, and there was still silence in the studio, as if everyone was playing a game of "one, two, three wooden people".

Waiting and waiting, everyone began to look at each other, secretly exchanging glances, and couldn't help but start worrying: Is Lan Li not ready? Or, didn't Lan Li hear the sound of the shooting? So what should I do now?

Once again, his eyes fell on Alfonso.

This time, Alfonso took a deep breath, didn't speak in a hurry, didn't pay attention to those expectant gazes, just stared at Lan Li intently, quietly waiting for the next change and reaction, involuntarily, he gradually slowed down his breathing, and even began to stare with bated breath, even he didn't realize it.

Emmanuel was even more engrossed, his eyes were always firmly locked on Lan Li, and the profundity and vastness conveyed in the lens stirred up a steady stream of inspiration in his mind, as if he could peek into the mystery of the universe and the grandeur of life through Lan Li's eyes, which made Emmanuel's adrenaline burst in full swing, and the whole world seemed to be bright.

Emmanuel likes moments like this, with no lines, no action, no embellishment, just the sparks that burst out between the actor and the camera, between the actor and the picture, presenting everything to the audience simply and clearly, and leaving the audience with room to think and reminisce.

This is the real artistic exchange, not a one-sided dumping and indoctrination, but a kind of back and forth and exchange with each other.

Just when everyone was about to give up, thinking that Lan Li hadn't heard the signal to start filming at all, a small sound sounded at the scene, and if it wasn't for the complete silence in the studio, it would almost be inaudible. Still, the ears have to be pricked up to catch the subtle sounds.

"Houston...... Houston?"
