70 water flooded gold mountain

More than a week of training was over quickly, but "Inception" still didn't start filming immediately, and it took another five days of training to get everyone used to being completely weightless. Therefore, when the filming of "Inception" began, it first stayed in the studio of Warner Studios in Los Angeles, where the second layer of the script was filmed.

In the second layer of dreams, the fight scenes in the hotel corridors are the most important scenes of Arthur played by Joseph Levitt, who has also trained the longest in the "Vientiane Ring". Filming in the "Vientiane Ring" installation, although Joseph Levitt is already very skilled in walking and running in it, during a fight, a body unbalanced will fall badly. Therefore, when Li Zhunyi and others watched Joseph Levitt filming outside, what they saw was a wall in the corridor of the hotel, as if they were performing in an acrobatic troupe, and they fell hard from time to time, and then everyone was laughing gloatingly outside.

Of course, this is inevitable for everyone, except for Marion Cotillard, everyone needs to shoot weightless scenes. In the earth's environment, how to create real physical weightlessness is of great interest to everyone, including Lee Joon-yi.

However, before filming the weightless part, while Joseph Levitt and others were filming the fight scene in the hotel corridor, Lee Joon-yi came to another studio in the Warner Studios studio, where he will shoot the fight scene in the Japanese palace, and also shoot a special effects scene in the flooded gold mountain.

First of all, Lee Joon-yi first filmed a series of fights and chase scenes with Ken Watanabe and Marion Cotillard, and also started a chase with several extras in this makeshift Japanese palace. However, what Li Zhunyi is really curious about is how to shoot Shuiman Jinshan, which is a completely impossible scene in the low-budget movies he shot before, and it can be regarded as a new experience.

"Yi, you're standing here. While all the staff were busy, Lee was pulled to the center of the scene by photographer Valé Ffister, who was holding a machine the size of a portable microphone in his hand and measuring Lee Joon-yi's face. This is the light meter used in traditional light distribution.

The so-called light distribution, in popular terms, is color matching. The reason why the film has to do light distribution is mainly because there are inevitably differences between the shots shot at different times and under different light conditions. Of course, one of the reasons is that the creator is in his own artistic pursuit, so that the film picture presents the style he needs.

When filming "Single Man", Tom Ford put a lot of effort into the lighting, but Tom Ford relied more on digital color grading software, while Christopher Nolan, who only relied on traditional film, used traditional lighting, so there was a picture of Varyt Pfister personally grading colors next to Lee Joon-yi on the set. Vary-Pfister is Christopher Nolan's official photographer and has a deep understanding of traditional photochemical processes.

"Pfister, before each shooting, it takes you half an hour just to adjust the lighting, so it won't slow down the shooting progress?" Most of the films that Lee Joon-yi shot before used post-production digital color grading, so when shooting on location, the color grading work is not so complicated. "As far as I know, Chris is a director who is extremely efficient, and he is famously fast in making films," Christopher Nolan can be heard urging the crew, and Emma Thomas is standing in front of the scene, discussing the details with the prop master. "Then he's spending so much time on lighting. ”

In response to Li Zhunyi's layman's question, Valley Pfister did not answer immediately, carefully recording the data on the light meter, and then shouted to the gaffer behind, "No problem, that's all." After looking back, he explained to Lee Joon-yi, "Traditional lighting distribution is really complicated and time-consuming, and I need to make very trivial adjustments to the color balance and exposure conditions on the set, but it will greatly reduce the amount of work we need to deal with in post-production, and we only need to take about half the time required for digital color grading." That's why Chris was willing to let me spend a lot of time on site for light distribution. ”

Li Zhunyi suddenly realized, I see, the so-called sharpening the knife is not the wrong woodcutter, this is the truth. Sure enough, Christopher Nolan is still a believer in film, and he is not very interested in computers and digital technology.

At this time, Christopher Nolan saw that Li Zhunyi had finished preparing here, so he walked over, "Yi, wait a minute, the water will come out of the window**, don't worry, the glass shards won't shoot here." Christopher Nolan looked serious and pointed to the glass on both sides of the ceiling, "You will also be flooded on both sides, and the water will directly split your head and cover you and submerge you, but don't worry, this water will not completely submerge this place, you just need to be in this position and stand firm." Are you sure there is no problem, can you go into battle in person?"

Due to the fact that there will be many thrilling and difficult scenes during the filming of this movie, the crew has bought insurance for each actor, and they are also equipped with stuntmen. For every shoot, a stuntman will be on standby at all times. Therefore, before filming this scene, Christopher Nolan specifically asked Lee Joon-yi whether he needed to use a stand-in.

Li Zhunyi smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine." You just have to make sure that the water doesn't fill this whole room and put me in danger of drowning. "Of course Li Zhunyi is joking, this is an open space, not to mention sealed, behind him is the entire open space, there are no walls at all, of course it is impossible for the water to drown him. Hearing Lee Joon-yi's joke, Christopher Nolan looked at Lee Joon-yi helplessly, but didn't laugh, just said "be careful, stand firm", and then walked back to the back of his camera.

In fact, the Japanese palace scene where Li Zhunyi is now located, the internal construction is all built in accordance with the Japanese style, which certainly took a lot of thought, but the important thing is that outside the window at the ceiling, a total of 26 water tanks are set up, which store 5,000 gallons - almost 19 tons of water, as long as Christopher Nolan gives an order, these water tanks will be opened, and the huge pressure will immediately break through the glass of the window, and then the water will ** out, creating a spectacular scene of water flooding Jinshan.

"Yi, give me a close-up of your head first. "When Christopher Nolan made sure everything was ready, he jumped right into the shoot and was an efficient director. "Eyes, eyes that see the palace swaying and the flood is coming, OK"

After everything was ready, Li Zhunyi stood in the middle of the palace, motionless, waiting for the water to flood the golden mountain. Filming is really a wonderful thing, Li Zhun Yi obviously knows that he is going to be drowned, and he is still a giant * split, but he can't dodge or move, and his feet have to stand on the ground inquiringly like roots. However, Li Zhunyi is also in a very good mood, and he was joking with Alan Peggy just now, "This is called facing the tsunami head-on, practicing more, and when the end of the 0 world comes, it will be more calm." As a result, the surroundings were embarrassed.

Li Zhunyi stood steadily, only to hear Christopher Nolan's order, almost accompanied by his voice, you could hear the sound of glass breaking, because the outlet of the water pouring was only the narrow window, so it was like a waterfall erupting, and the torrent sprayed directly out of the window. From far to near, the windows burst one by one, reminiscent of the opening of the dam to release floodwater, and the scene was spectacular.

But no matter how spectacular the people outside think it is, they don't have the empathy of Li Zhunyi. Standing in place, Li Zhunyi only felt a slight vibration from the entire set building, and the waves in the sky were coming towards him little by little with a huge sense of oppression, and anyone would subconsciously want to escape, but Li Zhun Yi had only one thought in his mind at this time, "Stand in place." "Once Lee Joon-yi moves, maybe the whole scene will have to be reshot, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is the entire crew who is hard. So the hands and feet seemed to be tied, firmly rooted in place.

But just for a moment, the water came to both sides of Li Zhunyi from the far end, the sound of the window cracking was louder, a little harsh, and before he could react, the flood poured out, and when he looked up slightly, he could see that the whole water formed a curtain, I don't know why Li Zhunyi thought of the "Water Curtain Cave" This word, the water gathers in one piece, like a curtain, and before the brain has time to turn away, this curtain actually smashed on Li Zhunyi's head, as if he was hit by a wave in the sea, and Li Zhunyi disappeared into the water curtain in an instant.

But fortunately, although the water is very stressful, it is still much less stressful than the sea. After Li Zhunyi was hit on the head by the water, he just shook it twice in place and stood up. Then, like a chicken in soup, he appeared in front of the entire crew.

"Cut, perfect" Christopher Nolan's voice was heard immediately, and everyone applauded, happy that the scene was filmed without a hitch.

"Oh, my hairstyle ......" Li Zhunyi, who loves to play treasures, made everyone laugh with a strange cry, and the atmosphere was very hot.

In fact, the part of the shooting in the studio was generally smooth, whether it was lighting distribution or scene construction, the whole crew spent a lot of effort, so the shooting was like a feeling of everything was ready, and the actors quickly put into the shooting.

"Alan, are we going to hang all of them on Weiya and shoot the weightless scenes? That would be a disaster for us and for the post-production special effects artists. Lee Joon-yi looked at the scene in front of him and said to Alan Peggy.

Today's second update is delivered. I have some headaches, so I won't add more to it today, sorry.
