Take a deep breath and take a deep breath again.

Puff puff puff, puff puff, the speed of the heart's beating still did not slow down, because it was so fast, so that the chest began to ache faintly, after the tension reached the extreme, the hands and feet began to tremble slightly, so I simply held my breath and began to hold my breath, and then the sound of the heart hitting the eardrum gradually calmed down, and it seemed that the mood finally calmed down a little.

But holding your breath is not a long-term solution.

His cheeks began to turn red, and he couldn't hold it back after all, and he let out a long breath with a "poof", but the throbbing throbbing still lingered, and then he began to jump in place, like a little flea, moving his limbs while jumping, so that the nervous and restless emotions were completely relaxed, and it was still eye-catching in the crowded crew.

"Are you getting ready to play right now? 100 meters, 200 meters, or 10,000 meters?"

There was a joking ridicule from the side, which scared Timothée Chalamet, covering the heart position of his chest with both hands, leaning against the wooden dining table behind him with a palpitating expression, his eyes were closed fiercely, he gasped for breath, his legs and knees couldn't help but weaken, and it seemed that he might fall directly to the ground at any time.

"Hahahaha. Mackenzie-Foy burst out laughing without embarrassment, and laughed out loud.

Timothy closed his eyes tightly, still not daring to open them, like a coward in a horror movie who realized the existence of ghosts, "Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ!" he took a few breaths and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Lan Li, you may really scare people to death like this." God, I don't think my bladder is going to hold up. ”

Mackenzie laughed so happily that his voice almost disappeared, and he fell to the ground and almost fell straight out of his chair.

Lan Li, who was standing next to him, looked innocent: he just wanted to make a little joke, looking at Timothy's warm-up and relaxed movements, just like an athlete, so he used the Olympic analogy to make fun of it, but he didn't expect to create such an effect. It's not his fault.

Timothy didn't hear a sound, he cautiously opened his eyes, and then Lan Li's figure came into view, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed and jerky expression, and couldn't help but scratch his head, and the big curly hair began to shake fluffily, looking like a poodle was shaking its head.

"I ...... Belch...... I ......," Timothy stammered, "I'm just preparing for the first scene." ”

"That's good. I thought you were going to the Pan American Games. Lan Li smiled, but neither Timothy nor McKenzie smiled. McKenzie couldn't catch the laugh, and Timothy didn't have the energy to care about anything else, and all his attention was now focused on the first scene of the day.

Yesterday, the crew of "Interstellar" officially started filming and filmed a scene.

Christopher Nolan is an alternative director, though, and the first scene brings all the actors together and then shoots a scene of the landscape. Yes, a purely scenic panorama without the participation of actors.

In order to ensure that the first scene can get off to a good start, other crews always choose a relatively simple scene as the start, and Christopher also chose a landscape scene in order to ensure a smooth start, without the performance of the actors, there is naturally no possibility of error, only the photographer needs to capture the panorama according to the director's requirements, which is fine.

Sure enough, the shooting went smoothly and there were no mistakes.

For young actors like Timothy and McKenzie, they don't understand Christopher's approach, and just think that this is an alternative director, but for a veteran actor like Lan Li, he gradually understands the director's perspective and concept, especially after the filming of "gravity", the perception is deeper and more direct.

Christopher is a director who sticks to tradition. It's not that he rejects new technology, but his understanding of cinema is traditional and academic:

For example, movies must be in the cinema to feel the greatest charm, which is why film and TV movies are two completely different art forms, audio-visual experience and sensory shock are part of the cinema can not be erased, and for example, the film texture of the film is irreplaceable by digital photography, and those film grains are also one of the charms of the film.

Etcetera.

This also includes refusing to shoot on green screens, as long as he can shoot on the spot, Christopher will definitely try to do it on the spot.

It's like "Interstellar" this time.

In the movie, Cooper chose to become a farmer after retiring from the army, planting corn, and his doorstep is a vast and vast corn field, and at the same time, corn is also one of the few plants that can survive in the post-apocalyptic environment in the background of the movie's setting, which also makes the number of professional farmers more and more, and it has become one of the mainstream professions. In other words, it's part of the story.

In this situation, planting cornfields on a large scale is obviously a time-consuming and labor-intensive act, and the movie footage does not take a few seconds, and it may even be just a background image that no one cares about, and most directors will choose computer special effects to create cornfields. In terms of production cost, the two methods are comparable, and the actual planting may be cheaper, but the consumption time and shooting difficulty are not at the same level at all, and the computer special effects are far simpler.

But Christopher was out of the ordinary—he really started planting this vast cornfield months in advance, just to be able to create a realistic texture.

Such small details can tell Christopher's character.

Therefore, when shooting panoramic images, the importance of light is unparalleled.

In fact, Christopher's requirements for lighting are almost harsh, when filming "Inception", considering the multiple influences of weather, light, dreams, reality, etc., the set often consumes hours to slowly adjust the lighting, looking forward to finding the most perfect shooting conditions, for this reason, the actors may need to wait for a long time with nothing to do, but Christopher still refuses to give up his persistence.

This is directly demonstrated by the "gravity" lightbox. The impact of light on the viewing effect is far beyond the imagination of the average viewer.

Christopher's cinematographer, ally-Pfister, is one of the top veterans in the industry, having collaborated on the "Batman" series, "Deadly Magic", "Inception", "Memory Fragments", "White Nights" and other works, in other words, except for Christopher's debut film "Following", Wally participated in the production of all his works, won four Oscar nominations, and won the Best Cinematography Award for "Inception".

Christopher and Wally's collaboration was undoubtedly intimate, and the two men had a close personal relationship.

Later, Warner Bros. was preparing to shoot the movie "Transcendental Hacker" and found Johnny Depp to star, and when considering a director, Wally was on the waiting list - there are many cases of turning from cinematographer or editor to director in Hollywood, and when Warner Bros. asked Christopher for his opinion, he strongly recommended his friend.

Eventually, Wally succeeded in taking over the command of "Transcendental Hacker" and began directing his first career work, while Christopher had to face the dilemma of not having a photographer when filming "Interstellar".

After a long journey, Swiss photographer Hoyte-van-Hoytema became the official photographer of Interstellar. The cinematographer rose to fame with the Swedish horror film "Don't Enter the Living", and then shot for "Fighter", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "She" and other works, and is a calm and atmospheric photographer.

Interstellar was undoubtedly a pleasant collaboration, and later he shot for "007: Spectre" and worked with Christopher on "Dunkirk".

However, now Hoyt and Christopher have to start from scratch, both of them are groping for each other's habits, and their creative ideas are constantly colliding with each other's creative ideas for light, mirror movement, and orbit. Therefore, when he entered the crew on the first day, Christopher did not start filming the actors' scenes, but filmed the scenes, which was originally intended to run in with the photographer.

Throughout the afternoon of the first day, the director and cinematographer were adjusting the lighting and composition, constantly discussing, overturning, and reconstructing. This is obviously not an easy task, but it is a necessary preparation for the entire crew to set the tone. This is also Christopher's shooting habit.

In the eyes of many people, the start-up of a child's play is the most important part of the whole film cooperation.

Today, the crew will start filming the official first scene.

The first scene will involve four actors, Ranley, Timothy, McKenzie and veteran actor John-Lithgo, who plays Cooper's father-in-law Donald, to shoot a breakfast scene.

As the actor's first scene in filming, the camera scheduling and the difficulty of the lines were relatively ordinary, but Timothy was still so nervous that he was at a loss.

Looking at Timothy in front of him, Lan Li recalled his first scene when he entered the "Pacific War" crew, he didn't even know where to put his eyes, the cramped and nervous are still vivid in his mind, but they are also the best portrayal of freshness and excitement, vigor and vitality.

Lan Li did not speak out to comfort Timothy, because he himself is a person who has come over, and because he has accumulated a lot of experience now, those persuasions are effective for a short time, but after really putting into filming, the tension will still surge again, just like chicken soup for the soul, after all, it still can't change the status quo, only relieve anxiety.

Instead, Lan Li leaned on the side of the dining table and casually asked, "How was your sleep last night?"

It's like a daily conversation.
