1583 Self-drive around the island
Emma Thomas knows Christopher Nolan well, and she knows that after changing the filming location, all of Christopher's preparations need to be overturned, just like in the original "Inception", and "Interstellar" needs to spend more time preparing in order to photograph different textures of different planets.
Therefore, Emma simply announced that the crew would be off for a week. This was true not only when Albert came to Iceland, but also when Iceland returned to Los Angeles, where filming in the Los Angeles studio involved a combination of actual locations and computer effects, and the preparation could take much longer.
Although the actors such as Lan Li, Annie, and Matt all arrived in Iceland in advance to prepare, they did not have any shooting tasks in the first week, and they were completely free to relax and adjust. Test the lighting, shoot the composition, etc., even with a double body.
Lan Li then arranged a trip around the island.
However, in order to make up for his regret of missing the crew's preparation work next, Lan Li still went into battle in person and cooperated with Christopher to complete the shooting of the test screen.
From a distance, it seems like a panoramic capture, but Christopher and photographer Hoyt often stand still for three or six hours in order to adjust the lighting, especially for natural light, with only the lighting team and camera crew busy, and everyone else on standby.
It's a very boring and patient-intensive job, not to mention the fact that Iceland is in winter mode, and even standing outside in full gear can be overwhelmingly unbearable, which makes testing even more difficult, often with only a few hours of work in a day.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the filming location chosen by the crew did not enter the Arctic Circle, did not need to face the polar night, and still had four to six hours to work a day. This set the stage for Christopher's whimsy to avoid the dilemma of having to go into the studio for all the scenes.
Today is just the second day of the crew's official preparations, and even Christopher himself is still looking for a state, constantly calculating and conceiving the picture in his mind, and the use of lighting and lenses is always being adjusted, and the current test work is progressing a little slower than expected.
However, this is the price of realism, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and while it can create a unique movie-watching experience, computer special effects can also create a similar feeling, and the audience may not be able to tell the difference. Only a handful of directors like Christopher and Alfonso still stubbornly clinging to their beliefs, but they have also become the guardians of cinematic art.
Putting aside the pre-test work of Interstellar for the time being, Lan Li left the crew and joined Paul and Meadow to begin circumnavigating Iceland along Route 1.
But obviously, it's not an easy journey.
November 28.
"Lan Li, you say, I want to know about that boy, is it right? This is my responsibility and obligation as a father, and it is also my right!"
"Lan Li, but, isn't it my right to date any boy? Why does Dad need to know everything? This is my **!"
"But you don't have the capacity to judge!"
"Are you questioning my choice of friends?"
"You know I don't mean that. Don't misinterpret it. ”
"Aren't you misinterpreting my words?"
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
November 29.
"Lan Li, I don't want to talk to my dad anymore, I want to end this trip now. I'm sorry. ”
"Mei Duo, you can't be so willful, Lan Li finally took time to travel and relax, can't you understand Lan Li's hard work?"
"I can be considerate of Lan Li, but I don't want to talk to you anymore. ”
"Then you can talk to Lan Li. It doesn't matter, I'll just keep silent. I'm not going to force you to speak. ”
Meadow was silent.
Paul was silent.
“…… Uh, hey, Paul, Meadow, any of you are hungry? I'm hungry! Otherwise, let's go to lunch? How about we, any ideas for the lunch menu?"
November 30th.
"I'm serious, Mr. Paul, Miss Meadow, I need a picture of the two of you! I! yes! I'm serious! I'm giving you one last chance. No excuses, don't ask me why I need your picture, the only reason is: I want to! So now it's better to keep your mouth shut and hurry up and take a picture! God! I'm almost blown away by the wind!"
"Hahahaha, the winter winds in Iceland are really exaggerated, look at you two, you are like frozen penguins! Come closer, come closer! Come, smile! This smile looks so sad, brighter, happy! Wait, don't move, I haven't pressed the shutter yet! Wait, laugh! Laugh!"
"Lan Li!"
"Lan Li!"
December 1.
"Lan Li, you seem to be very, very happy today, what's wrong?"
"Yes, yes, I also think that your whole person is different today, what happened? Could it be that there was some unexpected surprise last night?"
"Huh. I'm just enjoying nature. I've always been in the same mood when I travel around the island, isn't it? Iceland is really a magical country, you can feel the gravity when you stand on the earth with your feet on it, but you feel like you're on Mars. In the face of nature, we can't help but become humble and feel our own insignificance and humility.
I think we should learn to cherish life. ”
“…… Lan Li is really weird!"
"Haha, isn't it strange that you father and daughter should be the two of you? We still refuse to talk to each other, and only join forces when we talk to me, and you don't feel it when I try so hard to create opportunities? God, both of you father and daughter are equally slow to react. ”
Meadow was silent again.
Paul was also silent.
Lan Li could only helplessly hold her forehead, these two fathers and daughters were really ...... I'm afraid that others don't know that they are all "Walker".
Even Lan Li himself didn't realize that Paul's personality was so stubborn, and behind the sunny and warm smile, he always refused to give in easily, and he could even be said to be stubborn on some matters of principle. But if you think about it, there are some clues to Paul's change in attitude towards Diesel.
And Meadow actually inherited such a personality.
Sure enough, people always say that if you want to get to know someone better, then travel together. Because in the process of the journey, those stumbling trivial details can often test each other's habits and attitudes, and even the three views, and both parties can complete the journey smoothly, then it is a rare fit.
Looking at the silent Meadow and Paul, Lan Li's smile couldn't help but rise, he liked such a little tempered Paul, because this kind of Paul is more real, he is not without temper, but he is not willing to waste his temper on objects that are not worth caring about; in turn, it is precisely because he cares that Paul is more impatient.
Involuntarily, Lan Li remembered that during the filming of "Detachment", Paul had an argument with Diesel because of his relationship, and he rushed to the set in New York, hoping to express his apologies to Lan Li in person. Everything comes from a sincere and enthusiastic heart.
For the past few days, Lan Li's mood has been tense, he doesn't know how to change his fate, because he is not God after all, and he does not know how to avoid disaster, because he is not a prophet after all. He wasn't sure if Paul had avoided his predetermined destiny by coming to Iceland from Los Angeles, and he wasn't sure if the trajectory of his fate had shifted, so he could only wait with trepidation.
Every minute and every second, every moment, that tension never disappeared. But the reality is that time just passes by without even knowing it.
And so the thirtieth passed, and nothing happened, no accidents, no bumps, no bumps, and the whole day was peaceful, and then the first day passed like this, and until nightfall, Paul sat by his side unharmed, arguing with his daughter with all his life, like a child who had not grown up.
Everything is natural and trivial, so calm that it is even a little boring, and you can't feel the slightest wave. But Lance was enjoying the tranquility because Paul was still alive.
That's all that matters.
Lan Li didn't know what he had changed, he didn't know how many chain reactions the butterfly wings would cause, and he didn't know if his decision was right, but he ...... But he was sure that he didn't regret it. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same decision.
Paul seemed to sense the eagerness and emotion in Lan Li's eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, cast a puzzled look, and asked "What's wrong" with his eyes.
Lan Li showed a big smile, shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then complained mercilessly, "I mean, traveling with you is really a very, very hard thing, and I must firmly remember now that I can't leave you alone in the same space in the future, just like I can't put cats and dogs together." ”
"Lan Li!"
"Lan Li!"
Paul and Meadow complained at the same time, but Paul was a little helpless and Meadow was a little coquettish, which made Lan Li laugh happily.
Suddenly, there was a restless voice in my ears, "Aurora? Wow, Aurora has appeared!Wait, that's really Aurora!"
The bustling sound came, and it was vaguely inaudible, but Lan Li still carefully captured the information in the few words, and then smiled at Paul and Mei Duo, "Aurora!
"Lan Li, don't change the subject. Paul still tried to struggle, but his words didn't have any momentum at all, and then he saw Lan Li stand up happily, patted Paul and Meadow on the shoulders respectively, and shouted happily, "Do you hear that?
Without waiting for the two of them to react, Lan Li trotted all the way out of the lobby of tonight's residence and rushed out.
