1111 Dark as the tide

The reason why the first long shot of the camera is difficult is that it is all-round.

One of them is because all the pictures are placed in the always-off space environment. Not only is the light angle and space position that cannot be simulated on the earth, but almost strict requirements are put forward for computer special effects and related departments; but also because actors must complete their performance in an "unsupported" environment, the reference objects between actors and actors, actors and objects, and the points of leverage are all wrong, creating more difficulties.

But as the shooting progressed, the environment in the story began to change, and the backgrounds that could provide reference began to increase gradually, which also provided more points of leverage for Alfonso, and the difficulty of shooting naturally declined. Although the effect of space is still a problem, after solving the technical problem of opening long shots, things became simpler.

This is what happened today.

Also in the light box, the change of light is still an important part of the effect of space at all times, but the relative position of the photographic lens began to be fixed, and the coordinated movement between the iris robot arm and the actor became thicker and more simple and direct; at the same time, the shooting props in the center also changed from a basket to an escape cabin seat, and the actor's posture and condition were greatly improved, which is a good thing for the performance.

But for Renly, personally, the difference is not too big. The entire shooting environment gradually becomes familiar, and I have become accustomed to comfort and discomfort. In the final analysis, this is still a difficult shooting. Staying in the light box for more than ten hours is still a torment.

Moreover, compared with the first shot, the camera gradually enlarged and narrowed, and the weight of the core of the movie was all pressed on the actors, weakening the visual impact brought by the technology. The difficulty of telling the story with the actors will naturally increase sharply.

Perhaps the only difference is that after this period of training, Lan Li has been completely accustomed to the shooting environment of the light box. Even if it was a marathon shooting for more than ten hours, sweating, exhausted, and overdrawn, he has gradually forgotten the physical pain and mental torture. Now he can change to a more comfortable sitting position and further forget these extra interferences, and can devote himself to the attention and study the performance wholeheartedly.

In the words of Rooney Mara, "This is the actor's special ability, but his skills are deeper than mine."

Now, Lanley is sitting upright in the seat of the escape cabin, and the drama and other staff have left to ensure that they leave the capture range of the camera so that the shooting can proceed smoothly.

Alfonso's voice could be heard in his ears. He was confirming the preparations of each department, but without warning, Lanli's voice broke the balance. "I need five minutes." Lanli said loudly, without a specific explanation, but just emphasized again, "Give me five minutes."

This was a temporary accident that had never happened during previous filming. All the staff's eyes fell on Alfonso in unison, waiting for the director's decision.

Alfonso was a little panicked, and his first reaction in his mind was to ask, "What's wrong."

But as soon as the question was answered, Alfonso realized that he was too hastily.

Lanli is a dedicated actor. For a perfect scene, he is willing to do his best, and even torture himself repeatedly; similarly, if there is an unexpected situation that needs to be adjusted, he is the first to propose it.

Alfonso knew nothing about the performance, and even if Renli explained, he couldn't understand it, but what is certain is that their ultimate goals were the same. Therefore, his problem was actually a little redundant.

Sure enough, Lan Li didn't explain, just raised her right hand, opened her five fingers, and repeated again, "Just... five minutes."

This time, Alfonso did not continue to speak, but pressed his hands down, indicating that everyone would remain quiet, then turned his head to signal to convey this meaning to the other staff behind him. If the ripples were like, the entire studio would slowly quiet down.

...

Lan Li realized that something was wrong with his condition. It was not a special situation, it was just a feeling. He couldn't explain it clearly. He needed to calm down and calm the whole person down. That's all.

Close your eyes and open your arms, let the darkness surge like a tide, all the thoughts in your brain are completely cleared, and even a trace of distractions are cleared out, as if the whole mind is completely immersed in the boundless darkness. Gradually, the noises gradually drift away, turning into a sensational echo in the air, scattered and completely disappeared.

Wandering in the darkness and tranquility, this is a very wonderful feeling. The ethereal and empty touch gently surges on the surface of the skin, and you can even feel the gurgling touch of the gurgling stream, gently sliding through the invisible pores, and then a hint of chill and coolness passes through the pores, penetrates into the blood bit by bit, and wraps up and down on the bones.

The whole person seemed to have become heavier, but it seemed to have become lighter. The whole person was immersed in such a contradictory feeling. Slowly, slowly, the body began to float. It was really hard to describe this feeling, just like... it was like darkness turned into a substantial tide, overflowing.

But, instead of devouring, it is floating, the body floats on the surface of the black tide, becoming lighter, softer, and more delicate, as if the fingertips can depict the shape and patterns of water, and finally, it is completely integrated with it; at the same time, the pulling feeling brought by gravity is slowly disappearing, and the heaviness gradually melts into the tide, creating a feeling similar to floating on the surface of the Dead Sea.

Subtle, yet complex.

Suddenly, all the tides disappeared completely, but the dark fog still existed. The whole person floated in the endless darkness in this way. His body began to sway unconsciously, his arms and thighs lost control, and he just floated casually and irregularly, as if he was in the universe and space, completely cutting off the connection between gravity, and he could not reach the sky or the ground.

The feeling of duckweed that stayed in the air brought a sense of panic and fear from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but start to flap his hands, trying to grab some leverage points, and his feet began to kick around, trying to find a landing point, but it was just futile. The harder he worked, the more helpless he was, the more panicked he was.

After experiencing fear, anger, annoyance, irritability and helplessness, that eventually turned into despair and powerlessness, tied the wrists, ankles, waist and neck tightly, controlling every part and every movement of resistance, and even the last trace of resistance was completely strangled.

So, calmness was restored and my heart was as calm as if it was dead.

The endless darkness has all evolved into endless loneliness and sorrow.

Lan Li opened her eyes again, turned her head slightly, and looked not far away, as if she was looking into the distance, passing through the crowd, penetrating the studio, and even breaking through the earth, peeking into the vastness and mystery of the universe. Her distant and deep eyes suddenly became empty, as if she could fill the entire sky.

But what is amazing is that the seemingly empty eyes interpret too many emotions, the world changes, the world is so complex that it is indescribable that it cannot be found. I have no accurate word, and I have inexplicably started to feel sad, and I can feel the sadness deep in my soul.

Suddenly, Alfonso thought of the movie "Tree of Life" in his mind. For some reason, he just remembered it.

This time, without Lan Li's hint, Alfonso knew that Lan Li was ready, so he quickly called the crew to complete the preparations, and then officially announced the start of filming.

"Shooting!"

After Alfonso's voice sounded, there was a crisp sound of beating the board, and then everyone held their breath, fearing that a little movement would disrupt the shooting of the scene. But unexpectedly, Lan Li did not respond, and the studio was still quiet, as if everyone was playing the "One, Two, Three Wooden Man" game.

As we waited, everyone began to look at each other and exchanged their eyes secretly. They couldn't help but worry: Is Lan Li not ready yet? Or, did Lan Li not hear the sound of shooting? What should we do now?

His eyes fell on Alfonso again.

This time, Alfonso took a deep breath, spoke without rushing, and ignored those eagerly anticipated gazes. He just stared at Lan Li intently, waiting quietly for the next change and reaction. Involuntarily, he gradually slowed down his breath and even began to stare with his breath, not even realizing this.

Emmanuel was even more focused, and his vision was always firmly locked in Lanli. The depth and vastness conveyed in the camera stirred and collided in his mind, which seemed to be able to see the mystery of the universe and the magnificence of life through Lanli's eyes. This made Emmanuel's adrenaline explode in full, and the whole world seemed to be brighter.

Emmanuel likes such moments, without lines, without actions, and there seems to be no decoration. It is just the actors and cameras, and the sparks bursting between the actors and the picture, which simply and clearly presents everything to the audience, and leaves the space for thinking and aftertaste to the audience.

This is the true artistic communication, not a one-sided influx and indoctrination, but a back and forth communication between each other.

Just as everyone was about to give up and thought that Lan Li hadn't heard the signal of starting the filming, a small sound rang out on the scene. If it weren't for the complete quietness in the studio, it would be almost impossible to hear it. Despite this, you still have to prick up your ears to catch the subtle sound.

"Houston...Houston?"
