1085 Let Yourself Go
In the midst of the busyness, Rooney and Lan Li are each other's only little friends, in order to cooperate with the preparation of the crew, their wisest thing to do is to keep their mouths shut, not to disturb anyone's work, and obediently play the role of their wallflowers. However, there is still something to amuse yourself with between the two of them.
It is estimated that in the entire Hollywood now, there is only one crew that dares to treat Lan Li-Hall like this, and there is no other semicolon. Rooney blinked narrowly and said teasingly, "If other film companies know, they will beat their chests and feet one by one, and they will be upset for you." ”
Lan Li pursed the corners of his lips, deliberately revealing a thoughtful expression, and then shrugged his shoulders and said extremely seriously, "Obviously, they paid me a very considerable amount, for the sake of the numbers, I will endure it." ”
After speaking, Lan Li looked at Rooney again, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, "What's more noteworthy is not Rooney Mara, who is now hot in Hollywood? Not only is she willing to play a supporting role, but she has also suffered such a cold reception? The reason is worth investigating." ”
"That's right, if you want to work with the best actors, you always have to pay some price, don't you?" Rooney's gaze looked at Lan Li generously, and the burning gaze made Lan Li's cheeks slightly hot, originally wanted to tease Rooney, but was turned against the general, and finally laughed dumbly.
Without waiting for Lan Li to open his mouth to respond, at this moment, "Lan Li, Rooney, are you ready?" Emmanuel's voice sounded suddenly, intending to talk.
Then, Emmanuel's sloppy face appeared between the two of them, like a gopher out of it, looking left and right, it was really startling to appear, and after reacting, it was full of joy, but it invisibly resolved the situation, perceiving the wonderful atmosphere between Lan Li and Rooney, Emmanuel gently retracted his jaw meaningfully.
If Emmanuel deliberately joked, it was just a joke, and both Lan Li and Rooney could make Emmanuel speechless and helpless in minutes.
But on the contrary, after Emmanuel showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, he wanted to cover up the topic, and his dodging gaze seemed extremely clumsy, but instead cleverly created a strange spark, and the atmosphere immediately began to ferment.
"Are you ready? Now let's actually schedule the shots, not follow the shooting process, but test the control and operation of the IRIS robotic arm, and find the rhythm of the performance for you, can we? Or ...... Do you need a little more time?"
Such an obvious hint is almost not directly explained, which is really powerless.
Without eye contact, without signaling to each other, Lan Li and Rooney quieted down at the same time, just letting Emmanuel's ridicule ferment in the air, and slowly, slowly, Emmanuel himself became embarrassed, touched his nose in embarrassment, and even felt a little helpless, not knowing how to continue.
Teasing and mischief, that's not Emmanuel's forte. The start was good, but it was instantly deflated, and the helpless appearance really made people laugh.
"Ahem. Emmanuel cleared his throat exaggeratedly, "Well, let's test it now." ”
With that, Emmanuel almost fled.
Then, the smiles in Lan Li and Rooney's eyes overflowed, and they couldn't help but laugh happily.
In just a few moments, the lightbox was cleared, and the final test began.
In the rehearsal stage before, Rooney and Lan Li were completely props, familiar with every node and process, and compared to the performance and lines, the control and cooperation of the entire shooting was the key, but now the test shooting is different, mainly because they are used to performing under the IRIS robotic arm.
Still need to be familiar with the performance?
It's a paradox, for both actors, but after actually putting it to the test, Lan Li and Rooney understand that in the production of "Gravity", because of the huge innovation at the technical level, the way the actors perform must also be adjusted accordingly.
To put it simply, the actor stands motionless, only the camera is moving, simulating the visual illusion that the character is moving in the shot, and at the same time simulating the visual effect of the scenery changing in the shot, which also means that the actor's performance must "move with the camera".
At first, the test was relatively straightforward, with lateral movement, vertical overhead shots, and 360-degree rotation, and although the arm looked a little weird, it wasn't noticeable from the other crane-arm cameras on the set, but then the IRIS arm went into crazy mode.
With Lan Li as the center of the circle and the longitudinal space as the radius, the IRIS robotic arm began to rotate wildly, like a large windmill running at high speed, and the sound of hula and hula made people dizzy.
After the mechanical arm swayed, Lan Li immediately understood the content of this scene:
After the explosion and impact, Ryan Stone's tower buckle was still attached to a robotic arm, unexpectedly, the robotic arm broke in the impact, compared to the weight of the entire robotic arm, Ryan was just an ant-like existence, so the robotic arm began to rotate rapidly on a longitudinal axis, and even Ryan was suspended at the tail end, and the mighty 360-degree loops were thrown out, one after another.
In this scene, the camera will be shot from far and near, from the panorama to the close-up, and then from the close-up back to the panorama, presenting Ryan's state in an immersive way, as well as the high-speed and completely out of control visual effects in space.
In the movie, Ryan and the robotic arm rotate together, and in the actual shooting, Lan Li and the basket are motionless, and the rotation is completely completed by the IRIS robotic arm, forming a physical relative displacement.
So, this is the scene described above.
For the actor, he has to simulate his own constant rotation pattern, his hands swinging vigorously – a kind of instinctive/instinctive reflex of his body, and his gaze and head are bound to move up and down, following the curves and directions of the rotation, looking like a hamster running fast in a cage.
This is a unique way of acting, the actor must simulate the real state, and then stand in place, like a madman, directing and acting, as if in the script, the actor must show the madness and bumps of the world upside down, which means that Lan Li must completely let go of himself, and at the same time must be lifelike and realistic.
Swinging, swinging, the speed of the IRIS robotic arm is getting faster and faster, which is really a little difficult to keep up with.
During the test, Lan Li was like a nervous disorder, standing in the basket, waving his hands desperately, at the same time, his head kept swinging up and down, his eyes swaying rapidly on the longitudinal central axis like a screen, and even more exaggeratedly, he had to let out instinctive exclamations and fear in a panic.
This is the real self-liberation.
For onlookers at the scene, it doesn't look like the profundity and delicacy of the acting skills, but more like a farce sprinkled with dog blood, with no acting skills, no performance control, and it is completely nonsense, and the simple and rough and direct performance looks extremely ridiculous, even if it is the performance of the high school drama club......
Absurd, jaw-dropping, and the absurd effect is like a blowout.
Especially the party is still Lan Li, the Lan Li who is usually a gentleman and elegant, the Lan Li who is always serious and serious, the Lan Li who became a blockbuster after entering the crew, and the Blue Gift that won the Oscar for the youngest person in history, this is ...... It's getting weirder and weirder. Is there no problem with such an original/original way of acting, or even an amateur way of acting?
Not to mention the staff, even Rooney was completely stunned, with mixed tastes, and it was difficult to express it for a while.
The IRIS robotic arm finally stopped, and everyone was not sure if this was the expected effect, and their eyes couldn't help but turn to Alfonso, dumbfounded and didn't know how to express it.
But before Alfonso could speak, Lan Li, who was standing in the basket, adjusted his breathing and laughed happily, because the laughter was so joyful that the fork caused a cough, and the whole person began to cough violently, and the laughter still could not stop.
Obviously, Lan Li himself was aware of the problem of acting, but he didn't worry at all, and the whole person was in a relaxed and engaged state, and the first one laughed. Although, people can't be sure of the specific reason why Lan Li is hilarious, at least ...... There is no need for others to blame, Lan Li has already shown his attitude.
And that's a good thing...... Right?
Looking at Lan Li, who laughed so much that he couldn't help himself, the atmosphere of the scene finally found an outlet, after everyone looked at each other, after the sense of absurdity erupted, they couldn't help laughing, after the laughter opened the gate, they couldn't control it anymore, and recalled the Lan Li who let go of himself again in his mind, such pictures and scenes are rare, even if they are not once-in-a-lifetime, but they are definitely rare.
So, the staff all clapped and laughed, even Alfonso snorted and laughed happily, and then the whole lightbox turned into a sea of laughter.
In the midst of this joy, there is one other person who is an exception.
Emmanuel stood beside him, his face bewildered, his eyes full of confusion and confusion: it wasn't supposed to be like this, what was going on? So, what had just happened? Why did they suddenly start laughing collectively? Where was the laughing point? Wait, did he miss something?
Looking around, Emmanuel tried to keep up with the rhythm and tugged at the corners of his mouth, but instead of being answered, his doubts were not answered, but the question marks were increasing. Sincerely, can someone explain what's going on, who am I, where is this, what the hell is going on?
