Chapter 667: Drinking too much
In Canyon National Park in late March, the weather was much better than the last time I came, and when Ryan arrived at Horseshoe Canyon, Natalie and the crew had been here for more than half a month, not only renting a helicopter, shooting a lot of scenery shots, but also recruiting several mountain buggy and rock climbing and other extreme sports experts, and completing some rock climbing and mountain biking scenes that Ryan couldn't do himself.
In other words, most of the most difficult shots were shot.
"Hi, Nat."
"You're finally here."
After getting out of the car, Ryan finds Natalie behind the monitor.
The Long Island girl's brown curly hair was tied into a ponytail, with a baseball cap buttoned on it, and she was wearing a simple and capable blue denim outfit, and although the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose covered half of her face, she could still faintly see a little tiredness.
"You rest first." Natalie looked at Ryan and turned her gaze back to the monitor, "There's no role for you today." ”
Nodding, Ryan walked over to Natalie's assistant Anna, took the thermos pot, poured a cup of coffee, and walked back.
"Thank you!"
Looking at the coffee handed to her, Natalie took it and stuffed a hat to Ryan at the same time, "It's windy here, you pay attention." ”
The canyon national park is sunny, looking into the distance, the blue sky and the brown-red earth are distinct, it is completely a charming scenery, only one thing is not good, the wind here is a little strong, often bothering the crew's location shooting.
"It's much better now."
During the break, Natalie said to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "Last week, there was a force 7 wind blowing here, and the crew's two small sunshades and three bundles of climbing ropes were blown somewhere. ”
"As long as you don't get blown away." Ryan pinched her visibly sharpened chin.
"If it's blown away by the wind." Natalie picked up his hand and threw it back, "There won't be so much trouble." ”
"Did something happen?"
Listen to Natalie's words. Seems to be in some trouble.
"It's a busy job, and it's a bit stressful." Natalie obviously didn't want to talk about this, so she changed the subject, "How are things going on with Scarlett?" ”
"It's basically done." Ryan told Natalie about what had happened.
The two chatted for a few words, and the crew restarted filming, and Ryan sat next to him, just quietly watching Natalie coordinate the entire crew and no longer express any opinions.
A professional mountain biker appeared on a bicycle in front of the slide laid by the crew, waiting for the assistant director to call to start. On the rough and rocky road, there was a good show of flickering and moving, and finally rushed down a rock and fell heavily on the thick mat.
"It's over." Natalie made an 'OK' gesture ahead, "Let's shoot shot number seventy-eight." ”
The afternoon shoot, almost all of it was Allen? Footage of Ruston riding a mountain bike, with two specially hired pros taking turns in action, despite a puncture in the middle of one of the bikes, at dusk. Natalie announces that this part of the play is complete.
Because the situation in the canyon at night would become more complicated and the trailer could not drive in, the crew called it a day and returned to the nearest town of Arbenz in more than a dozen off-road vehicles. Natalie: They chartered a whole small motel there.
"I miss you, Ryan."
After getting into the car, Natalie raised the baffle, took off her sunglasses and hat and hugged him. Ryan gave her a wet kiss and said as the four lips parted with the silver threads. "Honey, you've been in the canyon for too long, and your mouth is full of the smell of dirt."
"You don't like it?"
Natalie's eyes widened, she took the initiative to come over and kiss Ryan again, and the two kissed and stroked each other's bodies, if it wasn't for the wrong environment, they would have ripped off each other's clothes long ago.
Of course, after arriving at the motel, the two went straight back to their rooms with dinner, and by the time they sat down to have dinner together, it was already more than an hour later.
After taking a shower, the two sat at the only table in the room, enjoying a reheated goulash with potatoes.
"You should be more nutritious, Nat."
Seeing that Natalie just didn't eat much and put down the spoon, Ryan couldn't help but remind, "You've lost a lot of weight during this time, you need to pay attention." ”
"I think it's good now." Natalie picked up the silver kettle and refilled the empty cups for the two of them, "Don't you think I'm in the right shape right now?" ”
"You should increase your weight to a hundred pounds." Ryan raised his right hand and made a deliberate kneading gesture, "I could barely feel your boobs just now." ”
"Ryan!" Natalie couldn't help but darken her face and grind her teeth and said, "I won't talk to you for ten seconds from now." ”
"Hey, Nat." Ryan ate the last piece of beef on the plate and picked up his coffee cup, "That's cruel, isn't it?" ”
"Ten, nine, eight......" Natalie didn't answer his words and counted down seriously, "Three, two, one!" ”
"It's time!" Natalie glared at him one last time and walked over to the big bed, "I'm going to bed, and I'm going to get up early tomorrow to shoot." ”
The next day, as soon as the sun had just climbed the horizon, the crew had already set up the location outside Blue John Canyon, and three cameras were set up on the slide rails.
"Are you ready, Ryan?" Natalie looked over.
Ryan was dressed in a standard outdoor sports attire, and as he straightened out the headphone cable, he gave Natalie a thumbs up.
Most of the scenes filmed here were not difficult, nothing more than some shots of him marching through the canyonlands, and after he put on his headphones, Natalie shouted to start.
In a triangle of three massive rocks, Ryan wears headphones and moves with the camera in front of him, keeping his excitement high enough to stride forward and occasionally see his own reflection through the camera's lens.
Just to his left and right, there are also cameras shooting in the distance.
Following the camera, Ryan walked all the way to the entrance to the narrow Blue John Canyon. It was here that Ruston encountered an accident, and the well-prepared hiker forgot to bring his deadly cell phone and had to keep surviving.
Allan? After Ruston was rescued, the park's management found his severed arm here and returned it to him, and Alan sprinkled ashes on Blue John's Canyon after cremating the severed arm.
The scene about Blue John Canyon had already been done in the studio, and Ryan was not interested in going in for an adventure, and after filming here for a while, the crew, accompanied by the park management, took a long detour to the rock wall where they had been, and this is Alan? A place to survive by rappelling at the Ruston Rim.
Someone from the props team has already come here, and when Ryan and the others walked there, they were setting up Alan? That stinking puddle that Ruston had talked about.
A large piece of thin silica gel with the same color as the ground pounced on the low-lying place, and several staff members of the crew opened the large water bottle they carried with them, poured the turbid liquid inside, and some people added realistic corpses of insects and small animals to the water, just from the appearance, this puddle is really a little scary.
Ryan sat on the sidelines, allowing the makeup artist to dress up as a handicapped man with a broken arm, and his face and lips were the focus of the makeup artist's attention, not only to match the situation in the studio, but also to fully show his state of dehydration in close-ups.
"It's beeswax."
The female makeup artist named Nancy reminded Ryan, "Don't lick it with your tongue." ”
"Don't worry." Ryan nodded slightly.
After a full forty minutes, when the makeup was done, Ryan walked over to the puddle, looked at the somewhat disgusting color, and asked the person next to him, "What's in there?" ”
"Mostly practical coloring and syrups."
The answer was Natalie, who came from the other side, and after the others left the place in tacit agreement, she said to Ryan, "Honey, it's better to pass it all at once, or we'll have to stay here today." ”
"No problem." Ryan leaned in and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, we practiced a lot last night. ”
At some activity last night, he had used Natalie's boobs as puddles of water, and then pounced on them several times in a thirsty manner.
"We'll sleep in separate rooms tonight!" Natalie glared at him and walked back.
"Scene Seventy-Eight, Act Sixteen." The assistant director's voice came, "Start now!" ”
Walking quickly to the puddle, Ryan knelt in front of him, like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert, plunged into the puddle, and like a survival animal, he drank the dirty but life-saving water without hesitation.
With his only remaining left hand, he desperately poured water into his mouth, and after drinking several sips, he remembered that he still had a water cup, and after feeling it out of the travel bag behind him, he poured it directly into his mouth, face, and body.
Even with a full burp, he was still drinking and pouring until the whole person became wet.
Filling the water bottle again, throwing away all the burdens, carrying only the life-saving water, hanging the arm that had been cut off by himself, he stood up without hesitation, and staggered on the journey, embarking on the road of self-redemption.
“Cut!” Natalie's crisp voice rang out, "It's over! ”
Ryan fell to his knees again, retching twice, and after two mouthfuls of water, he spat out a large gulp of water, and despite the conscious swallowing action just now, he still drank too much, and the burp was not pretended.
"Oh God!"
Throwing the camera to the assistant, Natalie rushed over immediately, hugged Ryan's back, and asked urgently, "Ryan!" Ryan! ”
"It's fine." Ryan raised his hand and shook his fingers, "It's just that if you drink too much, just spit it out!" (To be continued......)
