Chapter 316: Finished
But after only a few minutes of shooting, Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi now feel an extreme discomfort......
This is the first time they have felt uncomfortable, and of course it is not the first time they have made this kind of movie that may torture the actors, but it is really the first time that they have really put it in such a large light box made of 1.8 million light bulbs.
So now Zhang Ziyi and Liu Dehua are starting to lose it.
Zhang Ziyi is a little better, after all, she also needs to work out in many martial arts scenes in "The Grandmaster" recently, so she is in quite good physical condition now, but Liu Dehua is different......
It's not that Liu Dehua is in poor health, but after all, he is also a person of this age, and the years are unforgiving, and many times everyone will be troubled by this.
"Be prepared, you might have to go up and have a look." At this time, Chen Xi said to a person beside him.
This person is an emergency doctor, and Chen Xi specially prepared for the filming of "Gravity" this time, after all, Chen Xi actually has preparations and plans in his heart for many things, and of course he also knows what he should do under what circumstances. So, Chen Xi's "Gravity" has a lot of things ready, if there is any problem between Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi at that time, Chen Xi's side will be able to react in the first time.
"Good!" This Doctor Dai nodded at Chen Xi, indicating that he knew.
Ten minutes later......
As the footage of this section was filmed, Chen Xi also shouted a pause, so Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi both got out of the mechanical arm and the huge light box, took off the helmet of the spacesuit, and the hair of the two was almost sweating like rain.
"How? Are there any big problems? Chen Xi hurriedly went up.
"Okay, it's fine." Liu Dehua smiled reluctantly at Chen Xi. said, "I'll just take a break." This is Liu Tianwang, in fact, no matter how others criticize Liu Tianwang, but his attitude is absolutely no problem, for the sake of the film, he can make many breakthroughs. is like the kind of slave he was when he filmed "Lost Orphans", even if some people often think that Liu Dehua's movies always have a bit of "I am very good at acting" and "I am very hard at acting", but Liu Tianwang's attitude also supports many of his films, at least his performance in some movies will be quite good, such as "Sister Peach".
Zhang Ziyi was on the side, and wanted to say something. But after hearing Liu Dehua's words, she also closed her mouth, in fact, for Zhang Ziyi, the nightmare has just begun, after all, Liu Dehua's role is relatively less, but Zhang Ziyi is filming from beginning to end, in fact, Zhang Ziyi's attitude is no problem, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for an actor with a problematic attitude to get to Zhang Ziyi's position today, but sometimes she may express some of her own thoughts. And some such ideas are not something that Chen Xi also likes.
After Dr. Dai examined both of them, they both said that there was nothing wrong with them, so the filming continued.
As the robotic arm moved slowly, the shooting was also unfolding at normal pace.
A lot of things have been adjusted and programmed now. Therefore, the performance of the actors constitutes the first element, Zhang Ziyi and Liu Dehua have gradually entered the state, in fact, the scene filmed by the two of them Chen Xi also solved a problem: the visualization of shooting! After entering the era of CG special effects, many human movies need to pay attention to a lot of things. Especially in motion capture, sometimes actors with a set of motion capture equipment need to imagine the effect of the shot and then make the corresponding expressions. It's like Juan Fu filming "The Hobbit" to play the dragon, and in front of him, the only thing that simulates the hobbit is a few mineral water bottles.
So when filming some special effects blockbusters, often the actors' own performances may feel like they are dancing around with a group of demons, and they don't know what they're doing...... And the lightbox that Chen Xi and they made actually solves part of this problem, because the content of the light bulb on the lightbox that can be adjusted by Chen Xi and them can provide enough video content for the actors to imagine for themselves, so the difficulty of the performance will be much reduced.
After a week of filming in the movie, Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi have already adapted to this huge "lamp (baking) box", but at this time, Liu Dehua's role is also beginning to come to an end, after all, in "Gravity", Liu Dehua only appeared in two scenes as the leading actor, and the others never appeared again, and the shooting of these two sections is not difficult.
In fact, the vast majority of movies still use such a method, shooting according to the timeline, which will indeed allow the actors to more deeply understand the growth and inner changes of the characters, and their performance may become better and better over time. It's like what the Korean movie "Su Won" did, the performance of that movie is indeed quite exciting, and the way that the timeline goes by does make the performances of the protagonists in it nuanced and empathetic, but it is easy to cause a waste of shots and waste too many resources.
The last part of Liu Dehua in "Gravity" was filmed when he turned into a god to help Zhang Ziyi.
In fact, there is a strong religious flavor to this paragraph, and science has once again returned to religion.
Chen Xi will also downplay this paragraph a little bit...... Otherwise, it always makes people feel that Chen Xi is like a banana man filming the story of the core of Christianity, in fact, he mainly feels that his skills are not enough, otherwise he will try to reset this thing, and replace the gods with a strong Christian flavor with a philosophical God without too many religious elements.
Of course, whether it is a philosophical God or a religious God, there is still a strong personality flavor in the middle, while the Chinese Tao is not derogated from anything, it has its own certainty, the law of the jungle is not so much ultimate care, but coldly composes everything and maintains everything. Chen Xi just wants to do a little more design in these aspects, and no matter which angle you understand at that time, you can actually understand it.
Chen Xi's approach can also be regarded as an attempt. He is also trying to cultivate his own independent ability, otherwise, when everything in his head is outdated, what kind of method will he use to maintain his previous status and strength?
The shooting of this section is more dangerous, in fact, it is also a little difficult, this section must go through post-production, but for the convenience of post-keying, Zhang Ziyi can only shoot part of it now, and the rest of her legs and body sometimes need to be supplemented with CG special effects, but. This will also make Zhang Ziyi more uncomfortable, so in order to maintain her body balance, Zhang Ziyi has to keep stretching one leg straight, plus the surrounding light boxes and various movements, it is really quite tiring.
…… After three days of filming of this segment, Liu Dehua's role has been completely completed!
Liu Dehua invited everyone in the crew to a meal, and during the meal, Liu Dehua's attitude was really different from the beginning.
At the beginning, when Liu Dehua and Chen Xi met, they were also very polite and polite. But Chen Xi felt that there were indeed too many hello and me in this kind of politeness and politeness, and there was no real heartfelt admiration for Chen Xi in his heart...... But after so many days of shooting, Liu Dehua was indeed impressed by Chen Xi.
And in the usual chat with Zhang Ziyi, Liu Dehua also heard about it. Many of Chen Xi's ideas for "Gravity" are the first in the world, and these things are simply an amazing innovation to show Chen Xi here! Therefore, Liu Dehua's respect for Chen Xi is also much stronger, and Chen Xi's existence should be a benchmark for people in the Chinese film industry. It is also the direction of existence.
In fact, Liu Dehua mainly invited Chen Xi to dinner, and when other people were eating, Liu Dehua took Chen Xi to a high-end club. Stars of such high-end clubs often come, after all, these people here have seen too many stars, and they are almost immune to stars, anyway, whether it is Chen Xi or Liu Dehua coming in, they don't have too many expressions, it's just that they are ordinary guests rather than celebrities.
In fact, Chen Xi's fame is also getting bigger and bigger, especially after "Source Code", the movie he performed made Chen Xi's popularity in China surge, reaching a rather terrifying level, and now the more than 20 million fans around Chen Xi's neck are really not covered......
Up to now, there are already more fans of the scarf than Chen Xi, just look at Chen Xi casually posting a scarf, the following comments will exceed forty or fifty thousand, and some so-called celebrities whose number of fans exceed Chen Xi, they may post a scarf but there may be no thousand comments, and the reason for this needs to be pondered.
Because of the current popularity, Chen Xi will always be recognized by many people every time he goes out, some time ago Chen Xi's parents came to the capital, Chen Xi accompanied them to go shopping and was recognized, that day Chen Xi himself was surrounded, in desperation he could only let his parents go first, and then find a chance, his parents saw Chen Xi's current popularity, although there will be some excitement and excitement in their hearts, after all, their son is so famous, this joy is difficult to hide, but then think of Chen Xi now it is difficult to quietly accompany them shopping, The mood of the two was also a little lost.
Sometimes, that's the way it is.
Is there a way to get both worlds? Live up to it?
Chen Xi and Liu Dehua talked a lot about things, talked about movies, Liu Dehua's rich experience in movies, even if Chen Xi inherited Chen Xi's memory, Chen Xi still feels like a treasure trove, and Chen Xi's understanding of the film industry and some insights on the future of Chinese films will always make Liu Dehua have a feeling of being amazed, so this is also a joy for the two guests.
After this was over, the filming of "Gravity" continued.
At the beginning, when Chen Xi was just a young director who had just debuted, when filming "Latent", there were so many scenes in the middle that Chen Xi felt that it was not good, and he had to discuss it in his heart for a long time before he went to talk to Sun Honglei, and when he spoke, he spoke with a consultative tone, even cautiously, and he was worried that he would offend this star...... However, now Chen Xi ...... If Zhang Ziyi's performance is not in place, although Chen Xi will not scold people directly, he will also say it unceremoniously, if there are several times, Chen Xi will not be polite, and will scold directly.
Zhang Ziyi was stunned when she was scolded by Chen Xi at first, and felt that the tears were about to come out, after all, Chen Xi was so much younger than herself, and the date of entering the film industry was much shorter...... But Zhang Ziyi was so similar for a moment, and soon she became obedient.
After all, Chen Xi is a person, he now has this qualification, he is already the best director in China, the global box office of "Thai Embarrassment" and "Source Code" in commercial films, especially "Source Code", has pushed Chen Xi to a position that was incomparable before, and now he is in China, maybe temporarily inferior to some veteran directors in other aspects, but in purely commercial films, he no longer has to worry about the provocation of any Chinese director.
So Zhang Ziyi just nodded with red eyes, Chen Xi was a little embarrassed to see her like this, and then tried not to scold.
In fact, Zhang Ziyi's pressure is really great, it is the first time for her to shoot such an almost one-man role, and it is so difficult to shoot in the whole process, which from some angles, it really makes Zhang Ziyi experience some of the psychology of the heroine in "Gravity", and Zhang Ziyi is quite clear about some of this person's thoughts, especially the kind of loneliness that is deep and visible.
In this way, Zhang Ziyi also played well, her acting skills were already good, and now with this kind of tiger wings, Zhang Ziyi's performance is becoming more and more sophisticated.
A scene filmed today, in the movie, Zhang Ziyi is spinning, spinning uncontrollably in space, and now the specific shooting is to use the camera under the control of the mechanical arm, with a fast speed to chase Zhang Ziyi's eyes, she can barely move during the whole process, after this shot is finished, in fact, the filming of "Gravity" has entered the final end, and at most it will take about a week to shoot, and "Gravity" will be finished. (To be continued......)
