774 Harmonious Rhythm
Looking at the picture on the monitor, Lance's brain was extremely clear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the screen, you can see countless links running at the same time, the photography team, the lighting group, the on-site special effects group, the props group, ...... The work of the various groups is intertwined, like a large and complex machine, which makes people overwhelmed, and the information that pours into the eye is more and more and more complicated, and if one does not pay attention, it will miss the details, but for Lance, he sees not chaos, but inspiration.
It's hard to describe in words, the chaotic and chaotic thoughts are still surging in his mind, but they have gradually calmed down, and he can keenly grasp the right information from the mess without any hindrance, and then make accurate judgments, and the feeling of being in control of the whole situation returns to his body.
This scene just now is the most direct proof of this, Lance shortened the "runway" to 500 yards, so that the on-site special effects team can concentrate on creating a more realistic effect within the shorter runway, and at the same time, the camera team and lighting team can concentrate the scattered forces; But this puts more demands on the actors, they need to deliver better performances in less time, and the details of the performance also need to be changed - for example, the viewing distance, which was originally to see the horizon realistically, and the camera to create the scene of the whole world being ravaged by tornadoes, but now they need to adjust the focus and "push" the tornado in their line of sight by a certain distance to meet the requirements after the special effects are completed in post.
However, this was not a problem for Reims at all.
The whole scene was only the second shot, and all the shots were fitted to the best level, including the actors' performances, which exceeded Lance's expectations, especially Michael's performance on the verge of madness, which added a lot to Nax's surprise. This is the shot Lance wanted to see, and it was the image he conceived for Fury Road.
Now, Lance is playing back and forth, because the scene is so complicated, he needs a lot of close-ups to complete the narrative of the scene, and now Lance's mind is going on with complex planning and editing, running at high speed, building more images.
"The close-up in the car needs to be reshot." Lance turned his head and whispered to Hayden, then turned to look at Newton, "How's the light now?" "If it's a reshoot, it's important to keep the texture of the image consistent.
"There's at least a two-hour window left." Newton replied without hesitation, and Lance nodded his chin slightly, then looked at Hayden again, "I need an upward view, a side view, and then a frontal view." Hayden didn't speak, just nodded in confirmation.
"Albert?" Lance shouted, followed by Albert's response, "You ask the stunt crew, are they ready?" If you're ready, shoot the stunt shots, and if you don't, shoot the close-ups. "The stunts for today's scene were very difficult because of the need to actually cause a car accident and to shoot Max and Nax being thrown out, which was a tough challenge for the stuntmen, and Nax and Ferrosa would have their cars controlled by professional stuntmen.
Standing next to him, Hayden looked over, and then saw Newton's expression. Newton looked comfortable, without any worries, the whole state was the same as two days ago, sensing Hayden's gaze, Newton also showed a smile, and Hayden also pulled the corners of his mouth.
Today, the whole crew breathed a sigh of relief, and it was obvious that Lance had recovered and his command of the crew had become clear, which made all the teams restore order and every link became smooth. As a director, the state of Lance will affect the situation of the entire crew, not to mention the quality of the finished product, many times even shooting on location will be in a bad situation. Now, the helmsman is back, and the crew has naturally settled down.
"Alright, everybody is going to work." When everything was done, Lance shouted and turned to leave, but Hayden grabbed Lance's arm.
Lance jerked his head, his sharp gaze stabbing at Hayden. Hayden only saw a violent killing aura coming to his face, he didn't even have time to look at Lance's expression, a goosebump floated on his arm, he subconsciously let go of his arm, and then Lance's emotions converged, Hayden couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Lance, how is this scene?" ”
Lance watched the replay eight times just now, but he never expressed a personal opinion. That's why Hayden asked this question.
Lance didn't answer immediately, his brows were still furrowed, and he stared at Hayden's right hand until Hayden put down his right hand in a daze, then he withdrew his gaze and nodded, "No problem!" That's it! With that, Lance turned around and strode away.
Hayden let out a long breath, and he realized that he had involuntarily held his breath just now, and that powerful aura was really terrifying.
Looking back, Hayden saw Michael and Emma excitedly exchanging views. Hayden's knowledge of acting is very limited, he has never been a professional, but at that moment, he can clearly feel that it is not Lance who is standing in front of him, but Max, if he does not let go, Max will definitely not mind breaking his arm to achieve his goal.
Hayden looked up, and then saw Newton with a meaningful expression, Hayden shrugged, "It seems that our captain is fully in shape, and that's a good thing." ”
Indeed, the crew of "Fury Road" not only got back on track, but also rediscovered the magic weapon of the success of the previous five works, finding a harmonious rhythm in every link, and gradually getting better, as if even the Namibian desert had become a part of the crew.
In the scene of the sandstorm chase, it only took two days to complete all the filming, and the effect was gratifying. Immediately afterwards, the crew entered a state of full start, and the models appeared one after another, showing their "acting skills" in front of the camera for the first time, although the other links have been accurately put in place, but the models are still a little jerky about the performance, and even the basic shooting such as camera movement is not very familiar, especially in the comparison of Charlize Theron and Emma Stone, the performance of the four models can be described as bad.
Luckily, at least compared to the slum children in the City of God, these models are not afraid of the camera, and they are relatively easy to adjust/teach, not to mention that Lance conceived the models as vases and did not need to be too laborious. However, Gisele Bundchen's performance fell short of Reims' expectations.
Choosing Giselle to star as Angalad was an adventure. It's not that Rosie Huntington-Wheatley in the previous life performed well, she just did a good job of a competent vase role, which did not affect the overall standard of the work, but that Giselle fell under pressure, which was really beyond Lance's expectations.
In anticipation, Giselle, as the world's number one model, has been in the fashion industry for seven years and has experienced countless big scenes, so she will naturally not have stage fright; Moreover, Giselle's performance on the runway has always been known for its grandeur and strength, with standard steps and a strong aura almost setting an insurmountable benchmark. As long as Giselle plays in his true colors, he will be able to interpret Angalad's style, at least no worse than Rosie.
But judging from the three shoots just now, Giselle was too nervous to let go of his hands and feet, standing in front of the camera, as if he could see the invisible frame binding every inch of his body, and the whole performance looked extremely awkward and contrived.
If there is a different director, it is estimated that it will not be too pursued. What is a vase called? The vase just needs to be placed there to add sparkle, and that's enough, and you don't need any extra branches. For example, Meghan Fox in "Transformers", her performance in the movie is a typical vase - not to mention acting, Meghan's lines are almost like zombies spitting out blocks, and the performance is full of pompous and contrived twists, which seems completely out of touch with the story of the movie, but Meghan has become the most eye-catching scenery in "Transformers", popular all over the world, even Lance admits that Michael Bay captured the uninhibited and spicy sexuality of Meghan, which is amazing.
By Meghan's standards, Giselle's performance is barely okay. If you choose a model, you choose a vase, you shouldn't expect more.
But Lance had a different idea. He has always believed that acting is an indispensable component of the film, even if it is a supporting role as a background, even if it is a vase as a dessert, as long as they appear on the screen, they are part of the whole shot, and they do not need to be superb in acting, at least they need to be integrated into it. This may be his paranoia as an actor, which is not necessarily correct, and may not have any impact on the box office. But it was his insistence.
Lance's eyes fell on Giselle, but his head quickly began to spin: he knew that Giselle was out of shape due to pressure, but how should he guide it?
Giselle could clearly feel Lance's deep gaze, and her mood became more and more nervous, and she was almost out of breath with nervousness, especially when the crew finally entered the filming state yesterday and the day before yesterday, but now because she had another problem, which made Giselle more and more nervous, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Emma - Emma directed her performance just now, and now the first person to ask for help is naturally Emma.
But Emma didn't dare to relax at this time, Lance gave her the job of directing the performance, and now that something went wrong, she felt that she also had to shoulder part of the responsibility, but she didn't know why Giselle was like this, and there had never been such a situation when performing in private before-Giselle's muscles were as stiff as marble, even Emma could see it.
"......" Emma opened her mouth, about to say something, but heard Lance's voice come over, "One more time." (To be continued.) )
