1060: Difficulties (9th Shift)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In order to match the quiet and beautiful environment of space, create the calm before the storm, and create a warm and interesting atmosphere, the long shot at the beginning is a slow moving shot, creating an effect of "if you don't pay special attention, you won't feel it".

In order to show the weightlessness of the space station members, the activities of the space station members in this state are mostly used in the long shot, panorama, medium shot, occasional close-up and close-up. But how can we reduce the sense of jumping of scene changes to zero, so that the audience can't feel it?

After much careful discussion, Emmanuel came up with a feasible plan.

Using a seemingly simple and most experience-oriented method, panning the camera and changing the scenery according to the changes in the near and far distances, it is easy to adjust the scene continuously.

But there is also a problem of zΓ i's angle, how to maximize the richness of the scene, what kind of composition is the best between the actors, even if these are solved, the photographer's skills must be considered. Never underestimate the destructive power of a crappy photographer.

What is being filmed now is the shot of "Ann" screwing in outer space at the beginning. Zhang Lao's big voice helped a lot this time, and he kept directing Maggie Cheung to make adjustments. Realistic reproduction of the perfect shot.

After Li Donglai finished watching the shot, he couldn't help but give the photographer a thumbs up, "Great!" ”

Emmanuel smiled and nodded. He is very sure of long shots, and the previous movie "Children of Men" is a classic long shot. He was elusive, which is why Li Donglai chose him as the photographer of the new film.

In this period of shooting, the changes in the front and rear scenes and lenses are really extremely rich, flowing smoothly and leaving no traces.

The preliminary preparation was very sufficient, but the filming of this movie still encountered problems that he had never encountered before.

Every shot, every frame. It will cost the creative team a huge and high price.

At this time, the first spacewalk of the male and female protagonists was being filmed.

"Robotic arm prepares, gaffer prepares ......" a long list of instructions came out of the mouth of the executive director. It has been turned into a huge sound stage with green screens on all sides. Many staff members are busy in various positions.

Maggie Cheung once again put on a bulky space suit, her face a little pale. Li Donglai sat in front of the monitor outside, frowned, and shouted over the walkie-talkie: "Sister Manyu is touching up some makeup, her face is too pale." Hurry up. ”

Immediately, a makeup artist stepped forward to touch up the makeup.

After the normal light was turned off, the huge light installed above the mechanical arm began to shine on Zhang Manyu's body, and at this time, Zhang Manyu's back was controlled by the mechanical arm. Her own body was about three meters above the ground, and her whole body was wrapped in a white prop spacesuit, and her back was controlled by a mechanical arm at this time, and her hands and feet could move normally.

"Robotic arm OK."

"The lights are OK."

……

A long series of ready voices came from the walkie-talkie to Li Donglai's side, Li Dong looked at the picture in the monitor, and replied with the walkie-talkie: "Start shooting!" ”

"Scene 9, Act 36. anet! After shouting, the mechanical arm began to rotate, and Zhang Manyu's hands and legs also began to cooperate. The huge LED lights at the scene are emitting intense light and heat, simulating the feeling of the sun's rays in space shining on the astronauts' heads and bodies.

These are the sources of the stuffiness on site, and even the air conditioning can't help it.

Walking in weightlessness, the two of them have been training for several months, and it is not a problem to use it at this time. Methods of photographing weightless environments. There are underwater simulations, there are hanging wires, and there are all kinds of methods, and the most advanced practice of the year was even to let the actors jump forward on the spring to simulate the weakening of gravity on the moon - that is a moon film of the 5o era.

But even if the technologies back then were always so primitive, after all, it was the initial stage of exploration, just like the human film industry, which gradually progressed from "Metropolis" to later "Blade Runner", and then to the beautiful human world in "Cloud Atlas", so these things are slowly progressing, with the most primitive exploration. There will be progress in the future, and everyone is standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.

Moreover, no matter how human technology is developed, it has a certain connection with the most primitive things in the past.

The German god film "Metropolis" became the most expensive film at that time. Using the original technology of black and white films, the imaginary world of the future was filmed, and in the various images that reflect the future urban world in the future, there is no way to detach from the countless tracks of "Metropolis", and the structure of the future world of various flying cars in the sky. Including "Blade Runner", "Back to the Future 2", "Cloud Atlas", "Against the World" and even "Star Trek" are all like that.

The technology of human photography weightlessness is also accumulated little by little.

"2oo1: A Space Odyssey" uses an epoch-making method of filming weightless scenes: one by one, a camera is fixed in a circular room, and then the actors are asked to run, and the camera records the footage as if the actors are running along the roof.

This circular room costs a lot of money, but it is also a high-IQ move by director Stanley Kubrick, breaking through the previous shooting of weightless scenes and reaching a high level.

"2oo1: A Space Odyssey" is a film that cannot be ignored whether it is a science fiction movie, a space movie, or a special effects movie, and there are a lot of epoch-making things in this movie, although it cost Stanley countless money for more than three hours, but it turns out to drum up something that makes the average movie fan feel boring and monotonous and dull.

But the special effects used in this film, the ideas conveyed, and the shooting of many whimsical ideas will also become a milestone in the history of human cinema - Hollywood's space god film.

Li Donglai chose to shoot in Jiuquan because he wanted to take advantage of the various facilities nearby.

They often have something to train all the time, but they can't put it into the shoot. It's very expensive, and it's not something a movie can afford.

At the end of the day's shooting, everyone was tired.

Li Donglai is very tired, but he still has to make arrangements for tomorrow's shooting plan.

It was very late to carry Elsa back to the room to rest.

He wrote a rare diary-like long Weibo to describe today's filming from his point of view: "The filming of "Gravity" encountered great difficulties. In this weather, the temperature of the air conditioner has been turned to a very low state, and it still feels like it is scorching under the scorching sun. The huge LED light source is like an artificial sun in this weather. You also have to walk in space in a thick spacesuit. Everyone is tired. Brother Hua and Sister Manyu have to be hung on the robotic arm for several hours every day, and Sister Manyu has lost her strength several times today, sweating too much, almost causing dehydration, which is still the situation after more than four months of continuous training......

"The exploration of unknown space is a topic that human beings have never stopped, and too many film and television works such as "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" have told about this mysterious space. In addition to admiring the progress of science and technology, in this play, we also see the silence of space and the fear that people have to face. Shooting in outer space and weightlessness has always been a problem. So far, I can't find a good solution, so I can only rely on primitive means to slowly complete it frame by second. ”

"Calculate the angle of sunlight and the pace of movement in weightlessness, and adjust the light frame by frame of the lens...... In such a situation, it is difficult to even walk, let alone perform...... ng countless times, I don't actually want to shout ng, everyone works so hard. There's no way even the actor and queen are like this, you can imagine it. ”

"Every day, I burn a lot of money, and before the movie was filmed, I burned nearly 10 million US dollars, and 50 million US dollars were spent on special effects. After the filming starts, it costs a lot of money, but this qiΔ“ will be worth it. ”

"I'm going to let the audience watch the movie, after taking off the 3D glasses, they have to take a big breath to relieve their mood, calm down, walk out of the theater, look up at the blue sky, take a deep breath, stand on the flat ground with their feet, yes, it's good to be alive. For that moment, the current effort is worth it. ”

"My film will be different from the simple visual impact of traditional special effects blockbusters, and it will be the sublimation of the 3D viewing experience from visual to feeling. The calm and beautiful space and the danger of debris attack are the stillness and movement of this film. ”

"Extreme stillness and extreme movement, and the static part cannot stay at the level of the picture, and the moving part cannot stay at the visual impact, but we must try to find a balance and sublimate it...... It's hard, my head is going to explode. ”

"It's better to be my Elsa, don't cry or make trouble. Learn to climb ...... on your own Forgive me, baby, for not being able to hold you and play. Hopefully tomorrow things will be a little better. ”

At the end, he posted a few photos of Dehua Lau and Maggie Cheung's pale faces, as well as a picture of Elsa crawling on the stall, with a pair of big bright eyes, looking at them fixedly.

So harmonious, as if their suffering is for the hope of the child.

After this long Weibo was posted, countless people reprinted it. They also indirectly learned about what it was like for Li Donglai to make a movie.

There are also many people who finally know what type of Li Donglai's new film is.

The actor and actress wolf bèi are not pretending, the sweat on his face is real, and his pale face is not the effect of makeup.

This is the price of cooperating with a big director, how can you see a rainbow without hard work.

A good actor is not so easy to be. What's more, didn't Li Donglai say it, they had been training for more than four months in advance.

It took more than four months of training, and before filming, it cost tens of millions of dollars, what kind of price is this.

Even many big directors have begun to pay attention.

Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang both saw the newspaper or online news the next day, "It's so difficult for Li Donglai to shoot, what kind of movie will this be?" ”

Xu Ke, who was still filming "Di Renjie", also frowned, and suddenly felt that his efforts were not enough, so he would go to the crew tomorrow and use Li Donglai's Weibo to motivate those actors.

"Watching other actors' movies and actresses become like that, how good should your conditions be, and why don't you work hard to act in good movies?"
