The 1084 is officially powered on
There is a rumor, a ridiculous rumor from the crew of "Gravity".
For outsiders, it is absolutely ridiculous, but for the person concerned, he has a straight face, always believing that it is not ridiculous at all, and it may be true.
After the incident of Rooney Mara, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to find out.
However, they didn't dare to adopt a rash strategy, after all, Lan Li didn't seem to have any effect in the sun, so garlic, dog blood, and crosses probably didn't work, not to mention, this is the 21st century, and it's still in the Hollywood crew, too bold a strategy is likely to mess things up and end up being out of control.
So, they took a more secure roundabout approach.
Taking advantage of the time when Lan Li was filming, the staff worked together inside and out, and quietly used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, lured Nathan away, opened the thermos cup, and then saw the red liquid inside, as if it was human blood, and even exuded a pungent bloody gas, rushing to the face.
The moment the thermos cup was opened, some people were directly frightened, and some people were excited to the extreme, and the impact of the illusion after it came to reality triggered different reactions. In the chaos, the thermos cup fell to the ground like this, and the red liquid spilled all over the ground, shocking.
The whole crew immediately caused a riot and waves, and the bustling noise even affected the filming of the scene, interrupting the work, so that Alfonso had to ask what was going on
The rumors and news surging among the crew and crew were finally announced, Alfonso and Emmanuel and others were crying and laughing, and they couldn't believe their staff, but for the people involved, they swore and swore that they were conclusive, and the look of undoubted belief made people not know how to respond.
If they could, they would be willing to verify on the spot now whether Lan Li was a real vampire or not.
Although, later Nathan reassured that the thermos cup was only a specially concocted drink, and what was made was a plasma effect, in fact, it was just juice, no matter how ordinary it was. Nathan tasted it himself and invited other staff members to verify it, but it still didn't help, and many people were scared.
From beginning to end, this is a prank, a well-planned prank by Lan Li.
After three weeks of patient waiting, he continued the performance into his life, creating a real sense of panic in the camp step by step, and in order to increase his persuasiveness, Lan Li even deliberately avoided traveling during the day, and even when it was necessary to go out, he would walk in the shadows intentionally or unintentionally, carefully hiding his tracks.
There is no need for words, but the foreshadowing and accumulation of small details bit by bit, coupled with conscious guidance, a shocking prank is completed.
As for Roy and Rooney, both of them cooperated with the show.
Roy happened to have work to deal with in London, and there were some follow-up matters for the performance at the Almeida Theatre, so Lan Li planned the scene to add credibility, and Rooney, after hearing the suggestions and plans, took the initiative to start planning together to complete the last piece of the puzzle.
Sure enough, the effect was incomparably outstanding, and half of the crew was scared into insanity!
Previously, during the "Edge of Tomorrow" promotion, Paul Walker, Alexander Skarsgård, and Jennifer Lawrence confirmed on many occasions that Lan Li was the biggest devil of the crew, and his prank ability was incomparably outstanding, enough to make everyone deflated, even Donald Glover was a little overwhelmed.
But people don't seem to take it too seriously.
Lan Li's appearance and personal temperament are really too deceptive, elegant and gentlemanly, calm and restrained, which is far from the prank, and many people think that it is just one of Warner Bros. propaganda methods, or even the image packaging of the agency.
Now the "Gravity" crew has directly experienced it in a tragic way, what it means to be a person who cannot be disfigured.
Originally, it was just a funny talk and complaint about Lan Li behind people's backs, but it turned out to be the material for Lan Li's prank, which ruthlessly slammed the entire crew.
The best part is that the prank is so clever, and after setting the trap, step by step leads others to take the bait, fool themselves, and scare themselves to death.
As for Lan Li himself, he seems to have been working seriously from beginning to end, and he can't see any signs at all, not even if there are any clues, it is simply Jiang Taigong who has taken the bait, and for Alfonso and Emmanuel, who are dedicated to their work, they have never even noticed the abnormality of the crew.
That's what really admirable!
So much so that later, everyone confirmed that this was indeed a prank, but everything was really too realistic, and some staff members would still subconsciously feel fear when they saw Lan Li again, which also became a common meme for the crew to ridicule and joke with each other.
The friends of the crew always joke after dinner, maybe Lan Li is really a vampire, just to survive in the human group, so he deliberately planned this prank to hide his true identity;
Those ridicule and humor, pretentious, extremely serious. Even after the movie was finished, the crew still used the same meme over and over again, so much so that such ridiculous rumors spread in the Hollywood industry later.
For the "Gravity" crew, it was just a joke, but for others, the joke was not so funny, and they didn't even know what to do.
A small detail can be seen that the "Gravity" crew is different, a group of technical otaku gathered together, much simpler than other crews, and much more focused, even such a ridiculous stalk as "Vampire" actually believed, which made people laugh and cry.
Even after the clarification, they gave full play to the positive spirit of self-mockery, and the influence of this prank was carried on forever. For the "Gravity" crew, this is a good thing.
It was in such a relaxed and active atmosphere that thirteen days after all the crew arrived at the crew, all the filming preparations and rehearsals for the first long shot had ended, and the start of filming was officially announced!
As the saying goes, sharpening knives and cutting wood, the preparation work in the early stage is undoubtedly crucial, but no matter how much preparation is only on paper, the real actual combat is still different after all, and on the first day of filming, the crew fell into chaos.
"What is the initial setting?
"The trajectory of the first shot is panning, and now the angle of the lens is wrong, so it needs to be adjusted. ”
"What about the angle of the basket? Is it okay to have 30 degrees? Or does it need to be adjusted to 45 degrees? At the beginning, Ryan is stationary and Alex is in a spacewalk, does that need to be adjusted accordingly? Or is it set according to the actor's sense of self?"
"Wait, wait, this track is still not flat enough, give me a minute, I'll adjust it manually. ”
"Matt, hey, Matt! It's not the right pitch, it needs to be a little bigger. ”
……
The whole studio was noisy, all the staff gathered around the light box, in full swing for the final preparations for the shoot, the figures in and out and the bustling sound made the whole light box look chaotic and lively.
During the rehearsal phase, it seemed that all the situations had been simulated and all the problems were thoroughly investigated, but when it came time to actually shoot, it suddenly became clear that there were still countless details and that further adjustments had to be made according to the situation on the scene.
In the surging crowd of people coming and going, there is a "pure land" in the center of the light box, no one cares about it, no one comes and goes, just like a huge rock that cannot be shaken or defeated in the turbulent river, standing steadily and steadily, and the rushing stream completes the diversion on both sides of the rock, flowing quickly without pause, without the slightest pause.
Strictly speaking, not "one rock", but "two rocks", there is a space about three paces between the rocks, and the rushing stream rushes through the gaps.
The rock on the left is Rooney, and the rock on the right is Lanli.
At this moment, both men are wearing clumsy spacesuits, standing in a basket and at the same time in a light box, and in order to ensure the actor's center of gravity and personal safety, the main torso is fixed to the mechanical structure of the basket, but the hands and feet are still free to move, ensuring that the actor can perform in a relatively relaxed and comfortable environment and space.
Despite this, the heavy and stiff equipment made them silently merge with the machine, like two lifeless dolls, placed in the center, and the staff had completely ignored their presence. The busier it is, the more absurd it becomes.
People always say that the actor is the "most concerned" part of the whole crew, but this theorem is completely invalid in the "gravity" crew, obviously, Lan Li and Rooney, the two hottest new generation actors, are small roles in the crew that no one cares about and no one pays attention to.
To be more precise, in the midst of busyness, not only can they not help at all, but the best help is to keep their mouths shut, stay quiet, and not be an obstacle or distraction. Now, it's time to transform into a wallflower.
One is a gentlemanly and elegant male wallflower, and the other is a cold and soft female wallflower, which complements each other.
Involuntarily, the two exchanged glances, and there was a thick smile in their eyes.
