"Lights? What about the lights I want? ”

A crisp voice sounded from behind, and when Ryan looked back, Natalie in the back handed the camera to the assistant and walked around the small canyon that had been built, "I don't want to explain, I just want you to do the work in hand seriously." ”

"I promise."

The head of the lighting team immediately said, "It was just an accident. ”

As footsteps sounded, Natalie walked into the canyon again, picked up the handcamcorder again, and asked Ryan, "Are you ready?" ”

Ryan didn't speak, just raised his hand and made an 'OK' gesture.

"Prepare ......"

Natalie's assistant Anna shouted, "Scene 55, Act 12, start now!" ”

The night passed, the bright sunlight lit up the cold and dark canyon little by little, and the golden light fell on the brown-red rocks, slowly moving towards the trapped Ryan, he looked there, his breath was a little short, and his eyes showed an unstoppable longing, which was not only the taste of warmth, but also the feeling of freedom.

Standing above Ryan, Natalie captures every change in Ryan's expression with the camera, and in the gondola above her, the main cameraman is taking a panoramic view of the canyon.

The sunlight finally moved to this side, illuminating Ryan's tired face, but because of the terrain, it stopped next to him, Ryan took off his shoes and reached into the sunlight with a large bare foot.

Natalie immediately gave a close-up of this foot, and then moved the camera to Ryan's face again, and in a comfortable sigh, he showed a slightly intoxicated expression, for a person who has been trapped for a long time, sunlight is so charming and precious.

He slowly stroked the sun-warmed rock wall, and although these latex zuò 'rocks' felt extremely bad, Ryan still enjoyed the brief moment according to the character's requirements.

Perhaps only those who have lost their freedom can understand Alan? How Ruston felt at the time.

When he turned back, Ryan realized that Natalie was right in front of him. She carried a video camera, at most a foot away, and appeared to be taking a close-up of his face.

Ryan has more than ten years of rich acting experience, and it has been more than ten days since filming started, and he has gradually found the feeling of the role, and he is still fully engaged at this time, and the girl opposite is a director and cameraman for him at this time, and there is no need to think about the rest in his work.

“CUT！” Natalie finally shouted a stop, and she gave Ryan a thumbs up. He nodded his chin and said, "Great job!" ”

Then, she slid down from Ryan's side and said to the cameraman in the gondola above, "Jarvis, change the angle and shoot again." ”

Although he was in a very awkward position, and he was a little tired after the long shot just now, Ryan still fully cooperated with the crew. As he said, he was an actor during the filming, and he had the responsibility to cooperate with the crew to complete his own work.

After Natalie shouted to stop again, Ryan jumped off the overhanging rock. After shaking the slightly paralyzed right hand that was placed between the two prop rocks, and feeling the blood flow was normal, he followed Natalie out of the Blue John Canyon that had been built.

"Are you tired?" Natalie handed the camera to her assistant. Turning around, he asked.

"If it's too long." Ryan gestured to his right hand, "It's uncomfortable here. ”

"Tell me to go down and rest for half an hour." Natalie commanded her assistant. Returning to the front of the monitor, after taking the camera, he connected the number of jù wires, and said to Ryan, who was sitting next to him, "There is no such ultra-long lens down there." ”

Taking off the hat he was wearing, Ryan took the two cups of coffee that Anna had sent and placed one in front of Natalie, "You should also take care of your rest, we have plenty of time." ”

The film's shots are not complicated, most of them are Ryan's one-man shows, and according to the plan, the first month will be completed in the studio, and then after the Oscars, he will go to Canyon National Park to complete a small number of exterior shots.

"What do you think?" Natalie picked up her coffee cup and pointed to the screen on the monitor, Ryan glanced at it, and then said, "You're the director, and it's your job." ”

Despite the occasional few words, from the filming to the final cut, Ryan gave all the rights to Natalie, and the film would just go her way.

"Here's a scene from your life diary."

Turning off the monitor, Natalie beckoned to the props team, and immediately someone sent a DV over, Ryan took it, pointed to the 'Sony' logo on it and asked, "Is this an advertising sponsorship?" ”

"That's right." Natalie's slightly tired face showed a narrow smile, "Sony paid $3 million for advertising, sorry, we borrowed your reputation when we solicited sponsorship." ”

"It's okay." Ryan fiddled with the DV and said, "It's good for the movie and the crew." ”

Product placement has long become an inseparable part of Hollywood movies, if you look closely, many movies will see the shadow of advertising, Ryan and Disney have never excluded this, but welcome someone to pay for the cost of the movie, but he himself has solemnly warned his subordinate production companies that advertising placement should pay attention to ways and methods, and not to get to the point of madness.

Having said that, if this is not a movie starring him, it must be difficult for the crew to get this advertising fee.

Later, Ryan listened to Natalie's introduction again, and then learned that the implanted advertising is more than that, all the outdoor sports equipment on his body is basically a brand, and this brand also paid $3 million.

"That's Ryan's influence, and half of the $10 million cost of making it has been recouped."

It's fitting that the assistant director said to Natalie, and after these advertisers confirmed that Ryan was the lead actor, they almost quickly finalized the sponsorship contract.

"At least some of the money has been recovered."

After filming Alan? After Ruston's selfie life diary, Natalie took the DV back, "It's a lot less stressful for me." ”

"Nat, you're going to be a qualified crew leader." Ryan teased her.

However, this is a good sign, not all directors are James? Cameron, filming will have such a terrifying budget, a director wants Hollywood to pay attention, to let the producers see that it can create zào value, if there is not even the minimum commercial value, in this era, such a director is destined to only pass from Hollywood.

After lunch, the crew left Disney Studios and moved to Harvey, Malibu. Weinstein's private clubhouse, where you are going to borrow the swimming area next, to photograph Allen? After Ruston's amputation, he still loves sports and other aspects of his life.

There is not much description of this scene in the script, but Natalie wanted to shoot multi-directional shots, through guò and quick editing, to show the real life of the brave man after his recovery.

What if a person is turned into a disabled person in the film? It's too simple for Hollywood.

The make-up artist wrapped Ryan's right hand from the elbow down into a thin green curtain, so that it would not interfere with his subsequent dive in the pool, and the arm could be easily erased in post-production.

"You don't seem to have a noticeable effect on your weight loss."

Walking to the edge of the pool, Natalie looked Ryan up and down in only big swimming trunks, "How much do you weigh now?" ”

"Honey."

Poking his chest, Ryan said helplessly, "I'm less than 180 pounds now, should I lose 130 pounds like I did when I was filming "The Pianist"?" ”

"I'm just building yì you do better." Natalie's mind couldn't help but think of the 130-pound Ryan, which was just skinny and terrifying, "Okay, get ready, we're going to start shooting." ”

With that, she walked back behind the monitor.

The three underwater cameras were ready, and after Natalie shouted to start, Ryan jumped into the pool and swam to the opposite side in his normal position.

While swimming, he also has to control his expression and speed, and the camera in front of him slowly retreats at a steady speed.

With the sound of 'bang' water, Ryan swam out of the water, lying on the edge of the pool, and looked at the group of people opposite, this group of extras are all cameos from all types of work in the crew, they don't need any acting skills, just stand there as naturally as possible.

As the camera flashed, Natalie shouted to stop again.

"This shot is over, get ready for the next one!"

Although there are a lot of extras added to the scenes here, it is still Ryan's one-man show, and he is in very good shape today, most of the shots are passed at one time, which has improved the efficiency of the crew a lot, and the scenes that were originally prepared to be filmed in a day and a half were completed in just one afternoon.

When he came out after changing his clothes, Ryan found that the crew was about to return to the Disney studio, and Natalie said a few words to the assistant director and walked over.

"Alison just called." She twirled her phone in her hand, "She's waiting for us in North Hollywood." ”

"She's coming back from the sea?" Ryan asked, pulling Natalie up and following the crew to the parking lot, "Is there something wrong with her?" ”

"Want to have dinner with us." Natalie said as she walked, "Like Emma going to sea together?" Watson also came. ”

Ryan knew that the crew of "Harry Potter" had already arrived in Los Angeles to attend the upcoming Oscars, and that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" had not won a heavyweight award, but it still received a lot of nominations for technical awards such as best visual effects.

Besides, the crew's appearance on the Oscar red carpet is also one of the best ways to promote the next movie.

In the coming years, there will be a Harry Potter movie basically every year.

After arriving in North Hollywood, Ryan and the two went directly to Mr. Zhou's restaurant, where they met Taylor and Miss Hermione, who was sitting with her and chatting intimately. (To be continued......)
