1067 Repeating the old trick
"Wow. ”
Involuntarily, Lan Li's exclamation overflowed, and Matt-Kasmir, who was helping Lan Li complete the fixed position, couldn't help but stop the movement of his hand, "What, it's too tight, do you feel pain?"
"It's not painful, but now I can feel the pressure of the bones shrinking, is this normal?" Lan Li said honestly. Now Matt was fixing Lan Li in the basket, and the strap on his chest was pulled a little tightly, and he could feel a burst of pressure from his chest.
"Yes, that's normal. Matthew nodded in affirmation, "Is it still breathing, and if I feel any more oppression, I'll stop." ”
Cautiously, Matt adjusted the shrink strap again, and only stopped after Lan Li shouted to stop, "We need to completely fix your limbs, on the one hand, to make sure that when the basket is turning, you will not loosen and cause accidents, and on the other hand, we must be sure that the whole shooting angle will not be incorrect." ”
"So, what about the movements of the body during the performance?" "Now, Lan Li is not a rookie, and he has enough understanding of the filming process, and immediately raised corresponding doubts.
Matt nodded in realization, "Oh, in some certain shots, it's too dangerous, and it can be injured due to excessive twisting of the arm or thigh." So, in the performance, we still focus on the actors, you complete the performance, and the rest is done by computer special effects. ”
Lan Li remembered the movie "Children of Men", in which the baby born was completely made with computer special effects.
"You mean, my body could be all done with computer effects?"
"Yes. Some of the images may be just one leg, while others are only real with your head, and the rest is all done by computer post-production special effects. ”
Lan Li nodded lightly in a sudden realization, but the action of nodding was not too easy.
Now, Lan Li really has a good feeling, the actual experience of five flowers tied up. Hands, feet, chest, waist, ankles, every position was fixed, completely immobile, not only that, Lan Li was also wearing a spacesuit, a real spacesuit, bulky and stuffy.
The whole person seems to be imprisoned in one box, and then thrown into another box, the feeling of being bulky and layered up, and an inexplicable dullness makes people faintly start to get irritable. The breathing is still smooth, and the chest is still relaxed, but I just feel out of breath.
Even the nodding motion became cumbersome.
"How does it feel?" Rooney stood beside the basket, looking up with a curious look on her face, "In such a situation, will the rhythm of the performance be affected?" Even as a spectator, Rooney could feel the weight of the restraint and confinement, as if he had imprisoned the touch of a performer.
"Now I'm pretty sure I'm still not interested in bundling/tying or anything like that. In the midst of the dreak, Lan Li replied easily and in a different way.
The lightbox was stunned for a moment, and then all the staff couldn't help but chuckle. Rooney was even more stunned, then burst out laughing and shook her head helplessly, "It seems that the impact is not as great as imagined." ”
Lan Li looked left and right, but didn't see Alfonso's figure - it was not very convenient to turn his head now, and his vision was very limited, "Director, is every scene filmed like this?"
During the filming of "Buried Alive", the activity space was only the size of a coffin, but at least it could struggle, resist, and move its limbs.
"No, it's only a few scenes, other times, your chest, waist and hips are fixed, but your limbs are moving. Alfonso walked around and stood in front of Lan Li, "How about it, do you want to run the camera lens now to find a feeling?"
"Okay. Lan Li simply agreed.
Shooting tests on the spot began.
The IRIS robotic arm began to move rapidly, looking like a Transformer, and the two cameras fixed to the left and right sides of the basket began to operate, with both green lights on, and the camera was set up in different directions, all of which started shooting at the same time.
It's a strange feeling, like being in a big reality show like "Truman's World", where the ubiquitous cameras record every aspect of the actor and there is nowhere to escape, and even more, Lan Li is now completely confined in a basket, unable to move, so that there is no place to hide.
For a while, Lan Li was a little uncomfortable, and panic began to grow.
However, he could not identify the source of the emotion: perhaps because all the cameras were running at the same time, so that the performance was distracted by not having a single focal point or object, perhaps because the body could not move, causing the performance to be confined to a box and reflexively trying to start struggling, or perhaps because of some other unclear reason......
This sense of uncertainty makes the panic even more turbulent.
However, based on past experience, Lan Li did not let himself continue to panic, but closed his eyes, slowly adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and then raised his voice to ask, "Under what circumstances will all the camera lenses be turned on, and under what circumstances will only a specific camera be turned on?"
Alfonso immediately began to explain, and guided Lan Li step by step into the weightless world he had constructed, presenting all the principles of the shooting and the concept of the picture.
Gradually, it was no longer Alfonso's one-sided explanation, and Lan Li began to raise opinions and questions, and occasionally Rooney could be heard asking questions. And so, the exchange began. The shooting pattern gradually forms a model in my mind.
What is certain is that the "gravity" performance is a serious challenge, and the actors need to adjust their performance methods and content according to the different shooting methods, and compared with the "buried alive", the difference in lighting changes and photographic trajectories puts forward more and more complex requirements.
But at the end of the day, acting is still acting, and all the weight falls on the actor's own understanding and perception.
The sound of Rooney and Alfonso talking still echoed in his ears, and at one point, he suddenly stopped, "Lan Li?" interrupted Lan Li's train of thought, "Lan Li, are you okay? Why didn't you speak just now, are you uncomfortable?" Rooney asked with concern.
Suddenly, Lan Li's voice disappeared, and Rooney, who was still a little unaccustomed to it, immediately noticed Lan Li's silence, and after reminding him, Alfonso also noticed the anomaly, and cast his gaze at the same time.
"It's fine. Lan Li smiled, "I'm just thinking, what kind of emotions are brought about by the space environment?"
Loneliness, fear, grandeur, and despair. How do different emotions manifest themselves in space, and how do Ryan Stone's trials and sufferings evolve?
Without experiencing it personally, Lan Li naturally has no way of knowing, but what is certain is that this is obviously very different from the coffin that was "buried alive".
At the beginning, in order to play "Buried Alive", Lan Li locked himself in a coffin for eight hours, which was a painful and dark memory, but if he did it again, Lan Li still chose to experience it for himself without hesitation;
NASA's vomiting comet can create a weightlessness effect, but obviously, this needs to be applied for in advance, and the time is too tight now, and it should be too late.
After Lan Li asked a question, the noise of the entire set gradually quieted down, everyone looked at each other, and no one could answer, but there was a sense of joy in this scene, which made Lan Li chuckle.
"Obviously, your problem is beyond the scope of expertise, we can watch documentaries, watch astronaut interviews, and even talk on the phone with real astronauts, but we haven't been in space, and we haven't really experienced weightlessness for long periods of time. So ......" Alfonso spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
Lan Li didn't mind, "Then, this is the job of an actor." A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after taking a deep breath, Lan Li said bluntly, "This device, there shouldn't be any other ways to use it today, right?"
"......" Alfonso didn't quite understand and turned to look at Timothy, but Timothy couldn't give an answer, "What does it mean to stay here?"
"It's just staying in this position, and I don't mean an hour, two hours, but ...... Well, I don't know, ten hours? or twelve?" Lan Li wasn't sure for sure, but explained further, "I wanted to really feel what it's like to be in space for a long time, you know, no one to talk to and start talking to yourself, or maybe it's boring nonsense with other colleagues. ”
In the middle of the words, Lan Li paused again and fell into his own thoughts, and Alfonso, Timothy and the others hung directly beside them, at a loss.
Looking left and right, Rooney hesitated for a moment, and then said aloud, "Lan Li means that in the entire empty and vast environment, the body is trapped in the spacesuit and the narrow space, and the changes in psychology and mentality in the passage of time are carefully experienced. ”
Her eyes were focused on Rooney, and she looked at Lan Li, "So, Lan Li hopes to stay here for a long time and feel all the details of the changes." ”
"Yes, that's what I thought. Lan Li finally came back to his senses and said loudly, his eyes fell on Rooney, and he teased with a chuckle, "I'm sorry, I guess you can't get in line today." ”
Rooney shrugged lightly, "Don't worry about me. Anyway, you'll come out sooner or later, and then it's my turn. ”
His gaze moved back and forth between Lan Li and Rooney, Alfonso's face was full of anxiety, when was this, these two people still had the heart to joke. "Lan Li, are you sure?
"Yes, I'm sure, I'm pretty sure. Lan Li replied.
