"Wow, standing in front of you makes me feel like I'm not an actor at all. John Reilly said with a look of frustration.

Ben Whishaw, who was standing next to me, nodded, "I almost feel as if I've never performed." Perhaps, I should change careers. ”

Even Rachel Weisz, who came to watch, joined in the fun, "Director, can I leave the group now? I think I may not be a good fit for this movie." ”

Lan Li, who became the target of the collective siege, looked at his colleagues speechlessly, but he did not argue, but turned his head to look at Ogels, "Director, I think my salary can be increased several times, I don't know, three times? Five times? My current workload seems to have exceeded the contract." Or maybe we could make a one-man show, and the whole thing is David's monologue, an experimental film, and I think I could. ”

Looking at Lan Li's appearance, all the staff around couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths, especially the jaw-dropping expressions of John, Whishaw and others, which made them even more joyful, but because the atmosphere was not quite right, the laughter was always stuffed in their chests and could not burst out.

In the end, it must be Lan Lilly.

Lan Li cast his gaze at the overwhelmed Augus, the choked look couldn't say a word, it seemed that he had forgotten to breathe, his chubby cheeks began to swell and red slightly, and then Lan Li said, "What to do, I feel like we set Ogles on fire, and he is about to explode." ”

Rumble!

The whole set burst into laughter, and the laughter couldn't be stopped.

However, Ogles is not a director who fights with the audience, his eyes are full of helplessness to look at Lan Li, he doesn't joke with everyone, but he doesn't stop everyone, and then he finally starts to breathe again, and expresses "strong condemnation" to Lan Li with his eyes.

Lan Li could sense that Ogles was not really angry, but he did mind that the filming progress was delayed, so he turned his head to look at John and muttered a few words in John's ear.

Ogles was completely confused.

Then you can see John standing up and walking towards Ogels, "Let's do this scene again, do you have any opinions?"

Ogles hadn't reacted at first, could it be that Lan Li was talking to John about it just now?

Immediately afterwards, with a flash of inspiration, Ogles understood that Lan Li was clearly deliberate: on the one hand, he emphasized filming, because he knew that this could calm down Ogles and focus on filming again, and on the other hand, it implied that Ogles was still prejudiced against Lan Li, so he asked Ogels' favorite John to persuade and alleviate Ogels' "resentment".

This...... This is clearly a joke about Ogels.

Oulgels looked at Lan Li speechlessly, trying to struggle to resist, but looking at Lan Li's innocent face, it seemed that he had entered David's performance state again, he couldn't get serious, and in the end, he still couldn't hold back, and laughed helplessly Lan Li This guy always knows how to control the overall situation, doesn't he?

Turning his head to look at John, "Then let's remake it again, the performance just now is very good, you guys do it again according to your own understanding, I don't have any opinion." Seeing Lan Li again, Ogs thought about it, but still couldn't hold back after all, "Why didn't Lan Li come over by himself?"

John blinked, "So, why don't you go over and ask Lan Li yourself, and ask me instead?"

Eggs, "......" and then let out a long breath and said loudly, "This scene just now, ready to be reshot again!"

John turned and walked towards Lan Li, shaking his head with a playful smile on his face, like two high school students teaming up to do something bad.

……

The filming progress of the "Lobster" crew was very smooth, and the working atmosphere of the whole crew was also very relaxed.

For Lan Li, comedy performance is indeed a kind of enjoyment, you can explore different ways of acting, and you can also explore different forms of performance.

Later, Lan Li traveled to town several more times, all to see Buster Keaton's work. Sometimes it's just me, sometimes it's a group, because of Lan Li's performance, many actors in the crew are interested in Buster Keaton, hoping that they can also get inspiration.

Oulgels was overjoyed.

Buster Keaton's performance does give the dark humor of "The Lobster" more possibilities, but the specifics vary depending on the cast, and it's clear that Lan Li is still a top performer, and his performance is the most delicate and tactile and often captures more chemistry.

In addition to John and Whisshaw, Lan Li and Olivia also spend a lot of time together, and they are not considered friends, because every discussion seems to be extremely ...... Formally, discussing comedy performances, discussing stage styles, discussing character textures, and so on, and sneering at each other because of disagreements, the tense atmosphere repeatedly makes onlookers break out in a cold sweat, but the two people are very focused and engaged, and after the argument, it is as if nothing has happened.

When they say they are friends, they don't seem to be at all, but they always sit together and discuss, over and over again, and never tire of it.

It's a unique partnership.

Because of the harmony of the whole crew, and because of Owgels's accurate positioning of the actors and style, the filming progress of the crew was very smooth, even beyond imagination, in less than three weeks, the filming of the hotel part has been completed, and the filming of the forest part has also been put into filming smoothly.

For other crews, adjusting the light is undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult part of outdoor shooting, as was the case when filming "Interstellar", a scene shoots for two hours, but adjusting the lighting can take four hours or even six hours, and the whole day of work is spent waiting, but such a problem does not exist for the "Lobster" crew.

The main reason why Ogles chose Ireland and the small town of Sneem as the filming base was that he wanted to use natural light to complete the shooting, and make full use of the gloomy and dim environment to create the cold texture that the film requires.

For Ogels, natural light is the most perfect light, no need to adjust and improve, every day when you arrive at the shooting site, in the face of any natural conditions, adjust the corresponding shooting plan, wind and rain can not stop the crew's shooting work, and even do not need to spend time to complete the work of metering and dimming, just roll up your sleeves and go into battle.

Of course, the lighting changes in Ireland are relatively stable throughout the year, which also ensures that Ogles can face a relatively balanced shooting environment, and the light and weather can be kept in a stable state, which also saves countless time for shooting.

Entering the forest from the hotel, the filming progress of the "Lobster" crew did not feel any obvious changes, and the real situation that made the filming progress slightly turbulent was still the script.

Although Ogles works overtime every night, the script of the forest part still has many flaws, and every day of shooting, Ogles and the actors need to make subtle adjustments to the lines, and they are basically in a state of thinking while shooting, which is also destined to make the shooting progress unsmooth, so the speed will inevitably be affected.

However, the whole crew is fully engaged in filming, but they can't feel the state of "speed blocked", and the state of complete concentration makes those stumbles insignificant, because the whole creative process is kept smooth, brainstorming and collision of ideas ensure that the shooting always maintains excitement/emotion, and every actor is actively participating in their own work, so they forget the meaning of time, and can only feel that everything is on the right track, which is enough.

Another slight difference is that after the story enters the forest part, part of the plot takes place in the dark night, and Ogles insists on using natural light to shoot, which also means that they can't artificially create a night effect, but need to adjust their work schedule, rest during the day and work at night

In this way, the filming of the night scene becomes interesting.

In addition to the environment and condition, they also had to race against time, otherwise, after sunrise, the change in the surrounding light would make it impossible to continue shooting.

Now Lan Li finally understands how difficult and expensive the filming of "The Revenant" is, because the requirements of "The Revenant" for the natural environment are dozens or even hundreds of times more demanding than that of "Lobster", which also means that the crew needs to fight against nature and time all the time.

It's no wonder that the investment cost of this work easily exceeded 100 million.

So far, all the crews of Lan Li have strictly adhered to the eight-hour working time rule, and the working hours must not exceed eight hours a day, and "Lobster" is no exception, which also means that in order to shoot night scenes, the entire crew must sleep during the day, and the jet lag is forcibly reversed.

In the past, when filming "Detachment", Tony Kaye also liked to shoot night scenes, Lan Li had experienced the scene of all-night shooting, but it was in New York at the time, and the whole city was filled with noisy sounds, even if it was late at night, it was still like day, and this time to shoot "Lobster", but you need to enter the dark night of nature, that is, it is a complete night Moreover, the forest next to the town of Snim still maintains a primitive ecology, which also means that insects and beasts are present, naturally, the overall shooting experience is different.

This is another reason why Lan Li likes the "Lobster" crew very, very much: he has experienced a new shooting state, and then adjusts the state according to different conditions, which is also a severe test.

Groggily slept until five o'clock in the afternoon, Nathan woke up Lan Li, Lan Li sat up straight with his eyes closed, but he was still reluctant to leave the bed, as if he kept his eyes closed and fell asleep again, and then Nathan's voice came to his ears, "Lan Li, Matthew is here." ”
