1088 Fantastic Effect

"They're not going to fund the prototype, even if you have a pair of blue eyes. Alex said, his calm tone creating a subtle atmosphere, but it was impossible to say why, especially when speaking to a man as a woman, which was all the more interesting.

Ryan, who had just finished work, seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and was adjusting his breathing, and then when he heard this sentence, his expression paused slightly for a moment, and then the tail of his eyebrows was slightly raised, and his eyes were cast.

Ryan didn't speak, but squinted at Alex seriously, allowing the embarrassment after the ridicule to slowly spread in the dimension of time, and gradually it became tricky, and the pause in the middle was a little longer, one, two, three seconds...... And it seems to be going on.

Just when everyone thought that Ryan was caught off guard and didn't know how to respond to the accident of the conversation, the awkward silence was slowly creeping in, creating a disaster scene, and then, Ryan spoke.

"I think if it's as deep and blue as your eyes, then there's a chance. Ryan's words didn't have too many ups and downs, and even some stiffness, but the soft light between his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth leaked a momentary ridicule, and that ridiculous joy burst out little by little.

First of all, Lan Li's eyes are not blue, and secondly, Rooney's eyes are not blue. So, the conversation between Ryan and Alex is reinterpreted and becomes a different look:

Alex seems to be planning to flirt, deliberately flirting/teasing Ryan, in the case of low light in space, and separated by a helmet, it is not clear to see, but she still expresses the compliment so seriously, but Ryan does not appreciate it at all, and responds in the form of complaining, the two of them are like opening their eyes and talking nonsense, you come and go is wrong nonsense.

A little change, but between the eyebrows and eyes of the two actors, a wonderful chemical reaction flowed, making the corners of the mouth rise slightly.

Importantly, this is a high-level humor that only a serious viewer can understand that neither Lan Li nor Rooney's eye color is blue, otherwise, if one is not careful, the audience will miss the point of the message, and then be full of question marks, not knowing what the meaning of the conversation between the two people is.

In other words, for those ordinary viewers, these details are bound to be lost, so that it affects the effect of watching the movie. In fact, this is very unfriendly for commercial films, and high-level humor often affects people's evaluation of movies.

However, this is exactly what Alfonso's script hopes to achieve, giving the film more details worthy of in-depth appreciation, and then appreciating the harvest of high-level wisdom.

Sure enough, a really good actor can always inadvertently inject his own characteristics into the performance process, and quietly make the character and script more full and round.

For the layman, it is not noticeable at all, but for professionals, it is a pleasure.

Alfonso doesn't act, but he appreciates it. He liked this kind of script change, and even got excited about it.

This humor ends perfectly in Rooney's final response.

"Perhaps, after your eyes turn blood red, this is also a chance. It's like where you are now. Alex said, reacting to the previous conversation -

Ryan's physical condition is not very comfortable, and staying in space for a long time has affected his state, and now his eyes are starting to get bloodshot. Just before talking, Ryan frowned slightly, feeling discomfort again, which was also the opportunity for Alex to notice Ryan's eyes, and everything was traceable.

After saying that, Alex winked playfully. It's just that it's not clever at all, but a little clumsy, as if it doesn't feel like it's going to be hard at all, and the jerky and stiff movements fall into Ryan's eyes.

Ryan didn't have any extra words and expressions, just widened his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then turned his eyeballs up slightly, and the helpless spit and speechlessness seeped out between his eyebrows.

There doesn't seem to be any interaction between the two people, but the confrontation between the eyebrows and the words is full of wisdom, restrained and low-key wisdom, which invisibly completes each other's complaints, and inexplicably makes the corners of people's mouths rise.

It's just a small clip in an eighteen-minute long shot.

The whole set was silent, lest he interrupt the rhythm and progress of the shooting, and no one seemed to respond to such a performance at all, but after the filming was over, the two characters Alex and Ryan suddenly became lifelike, almost without words, everyone could feel the difference between the two characters, and in the discussion, the smile involuntarily rose.

Especially Alex, in the opening stage, Alex, who was already shouldering the responsibility of enlivening the atmosphere and contracting jokes, successfully created a chattering and verbose image, which contrasts sharply with his cold and arrogant appearance, and the strong contrast is cute, which really catches people off guard, and flirting with men as a woman amplifies this personality charm.

That's the beauty of the show!

Undoubtedly, Rooney stole Lan Li's demeanor and became the core focus of the entire lightbox in the first eighteen-minute long shot. This is not an unexpected windfall, and people can't help but have stronger confidence and greater expectations for the follow-up shooting.

For Rooney and Lan Li, they are both getting better.

In fact, the content of the performance itself is not difficult, what is rare is the performance state of the two actors, in addition to Alfonso Cuarón's requirements and expectations, injecting a more unique color into the characters and the plot, I have to say, this also achieves the essence of a performance.

It can be seen that the two actors are now in good condition, and the quality and texture of the entire performance are eye-catching. For the difficult shooting of long shots, they have become the most stable link, and those technical links breed more uncertain variables.

Originally, I thought that after digitization and computerization, everything was done according to the program, and there would be absolutely no mistakes, but now more adjustments had to be made to present a real space effect, and the crew had to constantly modify the parameters and adjust the details.

I thought that the state of the actor who was full of uncertainty might affect the process of filming, but now it is smooth, and the best performance state is always stable in the repeated shooting, and there has never been a mistake, but because of the long-term repetition, it has gradually become familiar.

It is precisely because of this that the "Gravity" crew has a really rare situation:

The first long shot was shot over eleven days, during which there were 191 errors or interruptions, which not only consumed a lot of film and time, but also a lot of money, so much so that the producers came to the Surrey production base in person to ask why the cost was so much higher than expected, and expressed deep concern.

However, in the midst of this, the number of mistakes made by the two actors is less than five times, only three, and the fingers of one hand do not need to come in handy.

In other words, all the remaining errors came from the technical group, either the lights, or the IRIS robotic arm, or the running track was miscalculated, or the spatial distance was miscalculated, and so on. The technical parameters really made the entire crew suffer.

This was not only the price to pay for the first long shot, but also the price the crew had to pay to adapt to the new way of shooting. They could only cross the river by feeling the stones.

In fact, the most important thing is that the first long shot is successfully shot, which means that all the technical difficulties have been overcome, and the subsequent shots will be simpler, smoother, and more cost-effective and time-consuming. The rapid consumption in the early stage is to pave the way for the rapid shooting in the later stage.

But on the whole, the whole shoot was smooth sailing, at least, the mistakes were manageable, and the uncontrollable parts were well controlled.

The first eighteen-minute long shot, the difficulty is self-evident, and it is repeated over and over again, and the crew has deeply felt this up and down, inside and out. After all, this is a challenge to break the technical bottleneck of the industry, and it can even be said to be a earth-shaking innovation, and the significance is naturally not trivial.

Compared to the difficulty of shooting, the first long shot was completed in 11 days, and the efficiency and speed were above expectations. The entire team headed by director Alfonso Cuarón expressed great satisfaction.

In this regard, Timothy Webb, as the head of the VFX leader, also constantly emphasized that the end of the shooting of the first shot means that the whole film is half completed, and for Warner Bros. and the producers, there is no need to worry about their current work progress and status.

This is not an exaggeration.

When the shooting entered the tenth day, the whole crew could feel the smoothness and smoothness of the whole thing, all the operations, all the applications, all the details, everything became simple and clear, if there were no accidents outside of control, they could have completed the entire long shot on the same day.

It is not only the familiar road after repeating nearly 200 times, but also the flexible use of all technical links, the control of light boxes, IRIS robotic arms, tracks, space orientation, etc. have reached a fine maturity, and they have passed the stage of practice makes perfect, and gradually began to enter the professional level.

Although the filming time was extended by one day due to a small accident, the shooting on the eleventh day went exceptionally well, and all the work was completed without any mistakes, and then the first scene was officially completed under the director's affirmation.
