It wasn't a hilarious scene, but the whole set turned into a sea of laughter.
Donald, Rami and others next to them even high-fived and celebrated, sighing again and again, "God, Lan Li is really a guy with humorous cells." Didn't you feel it before?"
Donald is a self-acquaintance, in just two weeks of getting along, he has become familiar with most of the crew, he originally thought that Lan Li was a difficult type to get close to, but seeing Lan Li get along with Rami and Alexander, it overturned his conjecture. That's why today is so bold to launch a prank.
Rami was so happy that he couldn't speak at all, and he laughed so much that he couldn't make a sound. In fact, the shooting itself is not so funny, it is more of a witty sense of humor, but this contrast from Cage to Lan Li, and then from Farrell to Alexander, and finally Alexander's body is funny, which is very powerful.
Rami wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, he knew that Lan Li was an approachable person, but he was relatively slow. From strange to familiar, it takes a process. But he has never seen this side of Lan Li, probably because the story style of "Pacific War" is not suitable for funny.
The laughter exploded for a while, and finally calmed down a little, Lan Li looked at Paul standing behind the monitor, and shouted, "Director, is this scene okay just now? Will the scale of the performance be too exaggerated?
Only then did everyone realize that they were making a movie, and it mattered. So they all cast their eyes in Paul's direction.
To be honest, Paul was a little hesitant. In his directorial career, whether it is the commercial film "Spy Shadow" or the art film "Thriller Flight 93", the overall style is serious and sharp, continuing the consistent style of the journalism profession, focusing on sharpness and realism, and the so-called artistic processing will not dominate.
The style of this first scene just now is indeed not what he is good at.
However, Paul was not in a hurry to deny it. They discussed this during the production negotiation phase - the overall style of Edge of Tomorrow would be relatively lighthearted, not too heavy, not too dull. So, he now needs to look back and think about post-production and what it will look like in his head.
"I'll watch the replay. Paul raised his voice, and then began to concentrate on his work.
The other Paul, Paul Walker, stepped forward, stopped in front of Lan Li and Alexander, did not speak, looked Lan Li up and down, after all, he still didn't hold back, he laughed after a puff, and kept shaking his head helplessly, "Man, you're firing all the power now, is it really okay?"
Lan Li showed a shallow smile, "Believe me, it's not overdone. The words were simple, but Lan Li's eyes and expressions were always a little more indescribable, as if he was hinting at something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only be confused.
Alexander was a rectum and patted Lan Li's arm, "You mean, you have other tricks next?" brother, be a little more restrained, I'm serious." If your firepower is a little more ferocious, I will be overwhelmed. Just spare me. Alexander also grabbed Lan Li's sleeve, shook his shoulders, stomped his feet, and made a coquettish appearance, which caused Lan Li's goosebumps to fall all over the ground, and Paul, who was standing next to him, laughed happily.
The shooting atmosphere of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew is completely different from that of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5". Although each crew is different, different casts, different crews, different chemistry, and different works will naturally lead to different styles, and there is no comparison between the crew and the crew, but just on the first day of filming, the continuous laughter fills the whole crew with a joyful atmosphere, which is indeed different.
While speaking, the director finally confirmed his thoughts, "Okay, this scene just now is fine." β
The reason why the humorous effect can be created is that the cooperation between Lan Li and Alexander creates that contrast, especially the details between Lan Li's eyebrows and eyes, deliberately disrupt the rhythm of the performance, which really makes people laugh.
This has no effect on the overall style of Edge of Tomorrow, nor on Paul Greengrass's editing and looks. So, Paul had no reason to object, and it solved his dilemma: he didn't know how to shoot comedy. But now, he can finish the shooting according to his own ideas without worrying about the comedy part, and leave the humorous part to Lan Li.
To be honest, Paul still has some expectations, looking forward to Lan Li's rivalry with other actors, and he doesn't know if he can create that kind of humorous effect. At least, Alexander doesn't seem to be a good actor for comedy, but the spark between the two is really good.
Subsequently, the camera position of this scene was changed and re-filmed three times. Only one mistake was made, and the other two passed without a hitch, completing the first scene of the entire film "Edge of Tomorrow".
However, today's crew's shooting tasks are not only that. In fact, the main shooting task today is the group scene, that is, after Cage enters the J team, the appearance of the characters of the entire detachment. In addition to Jennifer, the other main actors will be in the camera.
At the first production meeting, they made adjustments to the scene and thought more about the characters and character settings. Due to the increase in the roles of the members of the J team, the roles are relatively fuller, which also puts forward higher requirements for the director, how to schedule the scenes, how to distribute the scenes, how to outline the characters, and the presentation and use of space and characters by the lens can often show different viewing effects.
So, that's the highlight of the day.
After the filming of the first scene, it was immediately time to start filming the next scene.
"Words are terrible. Farrell lifted the barracks and walked in, "You don't have to wait for the evening for these people to agree on youβ" The deliberately slowed pace of his speech revealed a sense of schadenfreude, and his gaze was full of pride as he looked at the soldiers on either side, and the contempt and contempt could not have been clearer than the content of the words, "You are a coward who is full of lies! β
Cage and Farrell walked side by side, looking curiously and hesitantly to the side, looking around, and then they saw a fierce soldier, his arms like balloons, his shiny muscles full of threat, and his defiant eyes aimed at him like hyenas.
Cage couldn't help but lower his gaze, cowardly avoiding the exchange of sights. Involuntarily, he leaned in the direction of Farrell, compared to those vulgar and fierce soldiers, it seemed that Farrell could bring more security, but the eyes collided directly with another soldier, and the cunning and treacherous gaze made Cage bow his head in a panic, and his chin almost touched his chest.
Everyone else thought Cage was really a private. But Cage knew that he was indeed an officer. It's just that there is some irony at this time, the officer does not have the demeanor of an officer at all, but really does what Farrell said: he is impersonating.
"The good news is that you still have hope, private. Farrell's voice made Cage jerk his head up, his eyes full of excitement, and he looked at Farrell with longing and urgency, as if grasping at the last straw, "That is to participate in this glorious war." β
Cage blinked, and was directly stunned, looking at Farrell stupidly, unable to believe his ears, even his mouth reflexively opened slightly, and the whole face was clearly written: "I don't believe it!" or, "What did you say?" The expression that fell into a daze because of the stunned was inexplicably reminiscent of ...... Idiot.
Farrell didn't notice it, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "War is a great savior, and it is also a crucible that tempers true heroes. There's no such thing as high or low on the battlefield, no matter what kind of waste you come by. The proud expression turned his head slightly, glanced at Cage, and then saw Cage's stunned eyesβ
Cannot take your eyes off something.
At this time, Cage truly interprets what it means to be intent, the focused eyes, the slightly open mouth, full of a kind of fascination worship, following Farrell's gaze to rotate, like a shadow, unable to leave, as if ...... It's as if all your hopes are pinned on Farrell. It was worship, anticipation, and pleading.
With the plot connection just now, and with Farrell's tirade just now, the entire fan brother's aura is full of ridiculous joy.
Alexander's performance finally ended, the line just now was really too long, and the words were full of a sense of superiority. He should have performed that kind of funny feeling, but after reading the lines, it didn't feel right, and then as soon as he turned his head, he saw Lan Li's eyes, first startled, and the next second he burst out laughing.
"Poof", Alexander staggered out, in order to avoid his saliva spraying on others, he raised his hand to cover it - but, it was too late, he burst out laughing completely, looking at Lan Li's fan-like expression, which was far from Cage's image, and Lan Li's image was even more different, but the confused eyes flashed with a faint light, and there was still some space between the two people, but it was as if Lan Li's whole person was leaning on himself.
It's a ...... feeling
"Hahahaha. "Alexander was like crazy, and the more he thought about it, the more funny he became, and he was completely hilarious.
The other staff members didn't feel it so deeply, after all, they weren't Alexander's first perspective, and then looked at Lan Li in confusion. As a result, I saw that Lan Li had regained his composure, and spread his hands with an innocent expression, as if to say: I don't know what's going on.
