743 Tumbling Learning
"Let's shoot!"
Waiting, sprinting, jumping, rolling, the action is not in place, halfway through the roll, it actually stops. Lan Li sat up, looked at everyone with a confused expression, looked left and right, and didn't understand what was happening at all, could it be that the forward momentum was not enough? Then the sand and gravel under his ass began to roll, and he slid to the bottom little by little, as if he was riding a slide, and his feet were firmly on the floor.
All the staff looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh and start again.
"Let's shoot!"
took a big step back, almost tumbling off the wall, but still controlled it, rushing forward, leaping, rolling, and landing on the shoulder, a large piece of broken glass on the top of his head just smashed on his body, shattering into a firework shape, but the inertia of the forward rush still did not stop, rolling, rolling again, gurgling to the bottom, as a result, hair and clothes were all glass slag.
Although this is a special material of glass, there are no cuts, but the palms and arms are worn out of the skin, and a large piece of scratch is oozing with blood beads one by one. It looks scary, but it doesn't hurt, that is, skin trauma, simply bandage it, and go into battle again.
"Let's shoot!"
Rolling, supporting with both hands, borrowing strength, but the force was too strong, the whole person flew up in the air, trying to roll in the air, but he was unable to practice Chinese martial arts to home, rolled to the average, smashed down, and then rolled to the ground, looking like the appearance of the mummy after falling apart, dizzy, foggy, as if the head was full of stars.
The aerial effect presented on the camera is brilliant, but it is too brilliant, it looks like an acrobatic troupe performer, and it loses its real effect. The staff raised their thumbs up and praised "Chinese Kung Fu".
"Let's shoot!"
Take a deep breath, concentrate, sit back, feel the turbulence of the helicopter model hitting the wall, the whole person runs, sprints, leaps, soars high, hands are coiled on the chest, like a shuttle out of the air, and then the head is retracted, the shoulders sink downward, and the upper body begins to turn over.
Bang!
Shoulders landed, a large piece of glass spilled down, abdominal muscles slammed up in a millisecond, the body rushed out along the momentum of inertia, completed a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree flip in the air, the ground that could not see the color was enlarged in the line of sight again, both hands were erected, palms facing down, waiting for the end of the free landing, both hands and the ground took the lead in an intimate contact, the strong rebound force made the palms begin to ache faintly, but the hands were straightened, and then the rebound force pushed the body far away, and the body was light and agile to take off again。
The shoulders twisted outward, and the air completed a two-hundred-and-seventy-degree turn, and it was impossible to replicate the action just now, so he rushed forward with the inertia of the flip, first the shoulders, then the elbows and knees, and at the same time completed another flip as he fell, and then flew out high and floating.
When landing again, the large muscles below the right shoulder were tense to the extreme, and they hit the ground fiercely, and a lazy donkey rolled on the ground, rolling from the collapsed wall to the ground, and then rolled around again, buffering all the inertia and strength, and fell heavily to the ground, the muscles that were tense to the extreme did not feel pain, only a piece of numbness, the body showed a strange twisted posture, clenched his teeth tightly, the face covered with oil was resolute and ruthless, the eyes in the dim light flashed with a ghostly light, the ruthlessness and determination of the killing were fleeting, and the painful struggle between the eyebrows was immediately strangled in swaddling clothes。
Barry-Ackroyd (Barry-Ackroyd) carried the camera, stepped forward for the first time, slid along the trend, lay on the ground, and put the entire tumbling shot into the lens from bottom to top, and then used the power of his feet to push his body forward, aiming the camera at Lan Li's eyes, and captured the momentary but powerful performance with a close-up and close-up shot, ending the whole magnificent and grand scene.
"Cards!"
Paul Greengrass stood behind the monitor, couldn't hold back his excitement, applauded, and sighed, "Wonderful! Wonderful!" In this group of shots just now, the whole action scene is atmospheric and strong, handsome and chic, and more importantly, the camera lens captures the picture far beyond imagination-
The elevation angle from the bottom to the top shows all the explosions, collisions, and glass rain vividly, and the tumbling of Lan Li shuttles through the disaster of falling apart, firmly gathering all the perspectives, and the final presentation of the majestic is really unsatisfactory.
But Paul's exclamation only lasted for a moment, and then he saw Lan Li turn over, his back pressed to the ground, his feet raised high, and without using his hands, a carp stood up directly, his fists opened the starting gesture of the battle, his eyes were focused and solemn, his chin was deliberately retracted, and through the messy hair in front of him, he probed the enemy in front of him.
This...... Is this a handsome game?
Lan Li looked straight ahead without squinting, but asked in his mouth, "How? Is this very James Bond feeling? Or is it Bruce-Lee?
It's still the stalk of the actor playing handsome, but this time it's a personal practice. The staff reacted at this time, and then the audience applauded and laughed.
Lan Li then stood up straight and began to move his limbs, and after the stiff muscles slowly relaxed, the pain increased little by little.
Sure enough, the shooting of action scenes is not so simple, when watching, the stuntman looks easy and effortlessly completed, but when it is really executed, I know that strength, agility, angle, etc. are secondary, skills, skills to protect themselves, skills to show charm, skills to fit the camera, this is by no means easy, the pressure on the body is the simplest part.
The four shots before and after not only need to pay attention to their own performance, but also need to pay attention to accidents that may occur at any time, and more importantly, the action scenes themselves are difficult, and they must follow the instincts/abilities of the body.
Lan Li looked down at Barry, "How's it going?"
Barry was sitting cross-legged on the ground, not caring about the dirt on the floor, but checking the footage captured by the camera, and even stopping to confirm every detail in the frame.
This photographer can be said to be a unique type of person in Hollywood, whose works include "Bomb Disposal Unit", "Wind Blowing Wheat Waves", etc., and has previously collaborated with Paul on "Thriller Flight 93", what he is best at is sports documentary shots, which can always present a real but imposing picture.
There are many kinds of shots that cannot be used, such as showing the horse's feet, such as the camera being obscured by something, such as the wrong angle, such as the actor's performance is out of focus. Especially in this kind of real sports warfare, the footage has endured more tests. Even if there are no mistakes in the actor's performance, there are many accidents.
"No problem!" After ten seconds of footage, Barry looked back several times before giving a confirmed reply, then he raised his head and looked at Lan Li in amazement, "Man, don't be so desperate. I was terrified when I looked at it. ”
"But you caught it, and that's the best affirmation. Lan Li showed a big smile, and while he spoke, the director had already come to them, and Lan Li cast an inquiring gaze, "How is it?"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! The graphics exceeded expectations. Paul did not shy away from his praise, but gave the affirmation.
"Then how to shoot next, do you have an idea? How about the posture I just stood up in? Does it meet your expectations?" Lan Li once again mentioned the handsome play just now, the movement of "catching the king of horses" all over his body, it was clearly a prank, and now he actually proposed to be adopted by the movie in a serious manner.
"No, of course not!" Paul laughed helplessly, his eyes widened, though the slit was still too small, "Let's shoot Jennifer's scene first, and after she lands, the two of you meet." I needed the whole action to be clean, and in post-production, the camera editing would be very fast, and the part that went underground from here could take more than 200 shots, using fragmented editing to move the whole story forward quickly. ”
Two hundred shots, of course, can't all be Lan Li and Jennifer, as well as burning helicopters, haunted aliens, collapsing buildings, etc., these fragmented shots can bring out the tension and dangerous atmosphere of the whole environment, and at the same time speed up the pace of the action scenes.
However, during the filming process, the technique is a little different, instead of shooting one by one, the director completes the whole scene according to his own ideas, from different angles, and then completes the editing according to his own ideas in the later stage.
Lan Li showed a look of disappointment, "I thought I could learn from James Bond once." ”
"Then you're going to play James Bond. I'm sure you'll be a great 007. Paul complained with tears and laughter, and then walked in the direction of the wall, calling out to Jennifer, indicating that the next scene would be Jennifer.
"Lan Li, are you okay?" Barry finally fully returned to reality, and then noticed Lan Li's somewhat awkward posture, as if there was a problem with his abdomen or waist.
Lan Li waved her hand, "It's okay." When I jumped down just now, I hit a rock in my waist and hit it hard, and now it seems to be bruised. Such an understatement made Barry dumbfounded, but Lan Li laughed, "It's impossible to shoot an action movie without injury." Okay, let's get ready for the next scene. So how am I going to get up later, or do I follow the original plan?"
Lan Li is talking about the shining appearance of Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The Terminator", kneeling on one knee and then slowly standing up, which has also become one of the iconic shots of the series of films. This time, Lan Li is going to make some improvements and pay tribute to the "Terminator" in the movie.
