Not only to enrich the character of Alex, but also to build a bridge between Alex and Ryan, to prepare for the follow-up story, but also to accumulate advantages little by little on the steps of theme sublimation, and complete the difficult narrative task through the two characters in the limited script space.

So, in the moment when their lives were hanging by a thread, Lan Li and Rooney still decided to inject more chemistry into the communication between the two characters, and at the same time, it could not disrupt Alfonso's control of the whole shot, perspective and rhythm.

It's hard, it's harder!

This meant that the performances of the two actors needed to be more focused, engaged, and detailed, and it also meant that minor changes to the script had to be made, as well as changes to Emmanuel's camera scheduling and Alfonso's theme construction.

It also means that before the two actors perform, they must have a clearer and more detailed idea of the relationship between the characters and the establishment of the characters themselves.

At the same time, all of this has to happen for a short period of seconds, maybe three to five seconds at most, or even shorter.

To put it simply, it's a thankless scene.

But it is no exaggeration to say that this has an irreplaceable role in the further improvement and improvement of the quality and core of the whole movie. When Lan Li and Rooney proposed the idea, they immediately received a response from Alfonso, and they have been discussing and discussing intensively after a day of filming for the past time, hoping to present the best possible result.

Now, at last, it's time for real combat.

Before the official start of filming, everyone was very relaxed, as if it was just a simple scene, and they didn't realize the importance of this scene to the film. But from another point of view, compared with the long shot of the opening eighteen minutes, the other scenes are really not laborious.

At least, the real difficulties of this scene fell on the two actors, and the rest of the departments were all light. Now, both actors are in a very relaxed state, and naturally, the atmosphere of the whole crew is also relaxed.

Once again, Lan Li and Rooney are in spacesuits, once again, Lan Li and Rooney are in the basket, and once again, the IRIS robotic arm adjusts its orientation.

Everything was already on the road, but this time it was a little different, and Lan Li's basket was adjusted to a limit angle of forty-five degrees.

Because in the footage of this scene, Ryan presents an upside-down angle, and then forms a 180-degree parallel up and down perspective with Alex, the center of gravity of the body and the entry point of the perspective must be adjusted accordingly, just relying on the actor's own simulation, the details are inevitably lacking.

Therefore, the crew uses technical means to assist the actors' performances.

At first, the tilt at a 45-degree angle was not noticeable, but as time went on, the blood and brain gradually began to tilt, and the balance of the whole body was inevitably affected.

The most obvious is that the left foot, which is the support point, immediately begins to become congested, numb, and lose sensation little by little, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the body is already tilted, which can lead to loss of balance if you are not careful. Therefore, in the actual shooting, in order to ensure safety, Lan Li's feet are allowed to move, and in post-production, the lower body part will be completed by computer special effects.

Standing in the basket, Lan Li was slowly adjusting his breathing, and the entire crew, including Rooney, was waiting for him.

Because the next scene is cut from Ryan's point of view, to Alex's point of view, and finally back to Ryan's point of view, Lan Li's role is as important as Rooney's scene, and because this scene needs to be connected to the previous scene, the connection is Ryan.

Lan Li was not in a hurry, slowly let his breathing stabilize, and after his mind and brain entered the state, he let his breath become short, simulating the crisis state after the bumps and rotations, although he was still standing on the edge of the cliff, he finally braked in time, and fell off the cliff without a single smoke, completely out of control.

The pace of breathing became faster and more violent, and suddenly, there was a chirp in the brain, and "Buzz ......" seemed to fall into a state of fragmentation in a thousandth of a second, and then, Lan Li nodded in the direction of the camera lens, without any extra words, and then entered the state of performance.

"Let's shoot!" the voice of the drama manager and the crisp sound of dressing up, Lan Li did not directly enter the performance of this scene, but for the sake of continuous play, starting from the part before the end of the previous scene.

"He, He...... Amazing ......"

Gasping for breath, at the end of the turbulent fall, something could be vaguely felt wrapped around his left thigh, and finally stopped the momentum of the fall, but the beating heart and the rapid consumption of oxygen still made the brain fall into a blank.

He kept looking at the scene around him, but it was still black except for black, and in the vast glimmer of light, the depth and vastness of the universe swallowed up all colors and light, and there was no way to judge his place, and there was no way to judge his own situation, and this panic plunged him into an instantaneous absolute time—as if the world had stopped moving.

In the aftermath of his vision, he caught a figure, a figure falling rapidly and descending, the helpless figure had lost all support points, as if it was in free fall.

In space, a strong driving force will bring a constant speed of motion, and there is no control of obstruction or friction, so this driving force will last forever. Alex is like this now, the huge impact makes her body lose control.

Ryan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hands, but the bulky spacesuit made his arms seem extremely sluggish, and everything seemed to go into slow motion.

"I'll catch you. I'll catch you. I'll catch you. Ryan kept muttering, the muffled voice was inaudible, and his panicked eyes faded into a continuous exhalation.

In the distance, Ryan saw Alex rapidly approaching, dilating rapidly in his pupils.

Alex lost control, barely stretched out his right hand, but his balance and center of gravity were not at all controllable, and then quickly slid past Ryan's eyes.

"Here, right here! here!" Ryan muttered unconsciously, and then began to try with all his might, trying to grab Alex's right hand, all his strength seemed to be bound in a cage, and he could only achieve a third of the expected effect with all his strength.

"Ahh

In an instant, time seemed to be quiet, through the hazy helmet, Ryan and Alex's eyes met for a moment, but in those pupils, there was nothing but panic or panic, between life and death, even the charm and brilliance had completely disappeared, leaving only the complete survival/instinct/ability and life/reason/reaction.

"Hold on. Hold on. Ryan didn't realize he was talking at all, he just subconsciously whispered nonsense, and then he caught a fear in the depths of Alex's eyes, which exploded instantly, and then, his fingers tightened hard, but it was just a burst of emptiness, and he didn't catch anything.

Then Ryan realized that the powerful force was still dragging Alex into the abyss. The weak force just now only eased the power attached to Alex a little, but it was not able to pause. Then, Alex drifted away, and the fingertips of both men straightened and retracted, and the bond of nothingness was severed.

……

At this moment, Alfonso, standing behind the monitor, froze in place, and this scene painted a magnificent and moving picture in his mind: Michelangelo's fresco for the Sistine Chapel, "Genesis", the most famous of which is "The Creation of Adam".

In the fresco, Jehovah, who flew from above, stretched out his finger to Adam, preparing to transmit his soul to Adam like an electric current, giving him fresh life. This dramatic moment is sacred and vibrant, profound and substantial.

Now, between Lan Li and Rooney, Alfonso captures such moments, the only difference being that God is about to give Adam a soul, and at this time, Ryan is losing Alex. Life and death, fate and fortune, God and man, are intertwined between straightening and closing.

Thrilling!

"Damn!" Alex frowned and cursed in a low voice.

"No, no, no, no. Ryan just repeated the same word, straightening his arms and fingers as far as he could, as if a little longer he could reach Alex.

But in between, Alex drifted away.

Ryan refused to surrender, even more so to give up hope, and his hands began to flapping wildly, trying to grasp the rope that had held the two men together, which was still hanging from Alex.

The first time he threw himself into the air, the second time he still flew into the air, and the third time he finally caught it, and he grabbed it tightly, but before he could rejoice, there was a huge drag force from the rope, which could not stop Alex from sliding at all, and the rope quickly slid through Ryan's palm, gradually moving away, and seemed ready to break free at any moment.

"No, no, no!" Ryan almost fell into despair, and roared frantically, clenching his hands hard, and then hard, clenching the rope tightly, and finally the buckle at the end of the rope got stuck in the palm of the tightened fist, and finally firmly controlled the rope, and held the lifeline in his hand.

However, Alex is still declining, and this time, even Ryan is starting to decline with him.
