Langley was lost in thought.

LUNI's words, Alfonso's words and Langley's own thoughts collide in his mind and burst out countless sparks, which not only makes the role of Ryan stone a little fuller and more concrete; At the same time, it also makes the way of performance and the content gradually become clear.

This is undoubtedly a process of intoxication and forgetfulness.

However, lanli later realized that their thinking was too limited to the role itself, but ignored the environment.

Simply from the perspective of environment, "gravity" and "buried alive" do have many similarities, so do the expression and transmission of emotions; But after going deep into it, lanli realized that it was wrong to think in isolation from the role and environment.

What's more, the difference between the two environments lies in: one is from narrow to suffocation, the other is from vast to suffocation. From the psychological level, it's different after all. If the psychological changes of Ryan's role are added, the differences will be bigger and bigger, even quite different.

Raised his head, and then Lan Li saw a worried Alfonso, and a look of looking forward to Rooney, two people did not speak, chirping discussion sound for a moment fell into silence.

"What's the matter?" Lan Li widened his eyes and cast his eyes to inquire.

Alfonso wriggled his mouth for a moment, countless thoughts, but he didn't know how to express them.

Or did Rooney blink her eyes, not concealing her excitement, and could not wait to say, "what's up? Do you have a clue? How is the play going to be performed? God, I thought about it myself. It's too difficult to perform. It's beyond imagination! "

LUNI's eyes are full of curiosity and expectation to explore the unknown. It's like... It's like lanli is a research topic, which makes lanli dumbfounded. "There are some thoughts, but they are not complete. I need to think about them further. I don't want to confirm anything too hastily."

Then, lanli looked at Alfonso, "when I was in London, you mentioned that in order to create a real weightlessness effect, this work will adopt a new shooting method. Can I have a look?"

The influence of different shooting methods on actors is also very obvious.

The simplest and most straightforward thing is the green screen acting. In the manggai superhero movies, many times, actors stand in front of the green screen and don't know where they are, the geometry of their opponents, or even who their opponents are. They just perform out of their imagination. This is obviously not an easy thing.

During the shooting of "tomorrow's edge", Paul Greengrass adopted the shooting mode of half live and half green screen in order to create a real sense of space. This gives the actors more performance reference and reference space, but also gives the post special effects production team more realistic reference space.

After the shooting of "speed and passion 5" and "tomorrow's edge", lanli personally felt the different shooting methods of the film industry. Now, the shooting methods of "gravity" are quite different, and can even be said to be a new way to subvert the rules of the whole industry. This also means that lanli needs to know more about the whole shooting system in order to adjust the way of performance.

It's like going into a coffin to shoot "buried alive". If necessary, Langley doesn't mind doing it again.

"Of course! Of course. " Alfonso regained his mind, nodded, stood up, walked quickly into the studio, and began to talk about the whole shooting device - one of the sources of his enthusiasm.

Langley and Rooney fell two steps behind, exchanged a line of sight, and then followed Alfonso one after the other and walked into the studio.

The so-called studio is full of strange things. It can be understood that this is a huge warehouse, which is empty and has nothing. According to the crew's own ideas, it builds all kinds of scenes, sets up all kinds of equipment, and turns corruption into magic to shoot a movie.

Standing outside the studio, the whole photography base looks very ordinary, and it doesn't seem to be much different from any other photography base. If this is the case, then they can complete the shooting in liviston's photography base, and there is no need to come to Surrey specifically; But when you enter the studio, you immediately notice the difference.

Each studio in liviston photography base is more concrete.

In different studios, different scenes are built, mainly mountains, rivers, cities and other magnificent real scenes. After shooting, these backgrounds will not be removed and can be recycled. After the details and patterns are adjusted, the next shooting can be continued.

Each studio in Surrey photography base is more open.

You can't see too many scenes in the line of sight. Strange equipment is built on the large open space. In lanli's impression, these equipment are unknown. If there is no wrong guess, they should be special equipment for a movie - in other words, they can't be reused. After shooting a movie, they will be dismantled and destroyed.

Before that, Langley noticed that the classic scene in the movie "Inception", the fighting scene in the revolving corridor, was shot here.

Now the studio in front of us is just like this. There are lots of open spaces with all kinds of equipment and tools. It looks like a garage or an engineering otaku's self-help studio.

On the left hand side, a strange machine attracted lanli's attention. It looks like an octopus, mounted on a four-wheel electric car.

After a careful look, we found that there is an electric wheelchair below, a folding lifting table in the middle, and a mechanical table - or operating table above; On both sides of the operating table, two mechanical arms are extended, one is equipped with cameras, the other is equipped with lights.

Finally, the whole machine is wrapped with countless wires and gears. It looks like a device just taken out of a car repair shop, and then it's put together.

"That was our first version of the shooting tool." Alfonso noticed lanli's vision and actively explained, "our original idea is to fix the actor on the operating table, and then adjust the angle and speed through the control of the lifting table and the mechanical arm to create the effect of weightlessness; At the same time, it also gives the assistance of lighting to create a completely out of control visual effect. "

Along with Alfonso's words, lanli's brain fills in the picture. He can imagine how the shooting was carried out; But I can't imagine what the pictures are and how my performance should be presented. Sure enough, engineering is still too difficult for liberal arts students. Even if he is a man of two generations, he still has no talent in this aspect.

"But?" Lan Li noticed the foreshadowing left in Alfonso's words, so he asked.

"However, this kind of shooting method was eliminated by us. First of all, it is too clumsy, the mechanical arm is not flexible enough, and the displacement effect produced is not obvious enough, which means that we must speed up the operation speed of the film, but it is a disaster for the actor's performance; Secondly, the lighting is too rigid, or the problem of mechanical arm, the conversion of light source is not flexible enough, for the weightlessness effect in space, it is bound to be distorted; Finally, the weightlessness effect is not obvious enough. "

Garrulous, Alfonso side of the explanation, while using complicated gestures to explain, "after the test shooting, we get more inspiration, and then set up a light box."

With that, Alfonso took the lead and walked to the right side, shouting, "Tim? Tim! Lanli has arrived at the scene. Now we can explain the theory and try to see the shooting effect. Tim

Between the shouts, a middle-aged man came out from the corner with a chubby beer belly. His hairline had retreated to the middle of his head. His messy curly hair looked sparse. His shirt and suit made him look very slovenly and simple, just like... A senior mechanic in the garage.

For the layman, maybe the person in front of him is a senior mechanic, and no one will recognize him; But for the expert knowledge, the people in front of us are famous and worshipped.

Needless to say, his works are the best endorsement and display: "Avatar", "son of man", "Batman Prequel: Dark Knight", "Harry Potter".

The slovenly middle-aged man, Timothy Webber, is a visual effects director. Together with James Cameron, we created "Avatar" with 3D technology; Together with Alfonso Caron, he created a complete baby in the "son of man" with computer special effects.

In the industry, Timothy is a real high-ranking behind the scenes hero, and George Lucas, James Cameron, Robert zemikis and other big men are close friends, respected.

Instead of coming face to face, Timothy stood in the corner, rolled up his shirt and suit sleeves, "now? Test it or visit it? If it's just a visit, it's enough for us to turn on the lights of the studio. There's no need to turn on all the lights. "

"Test." The answer is not Alfonso, but lanli, "if it's not troublesome, I hope I can sit on the machine, really feel the effect, and test the shooting state; If we can, we can try to take a short shot to further detect the shooting status. "

Although today is only the first day of arriving at the cast, it's not the best because of the long journey and heavy burden; But at this time, Lan Li's mental state was excellent, and he was eager to try.

Timothy didn't ask, didn't say hello, just shrugged, "as you wish." Then he looked back and said, "Ben, Matt, turn the light box on. Now let's check the actual shooting effect."

With the approaching of lanli and his party, the light suddenly came on, as if hundreds of millions of stars gathered together to become a sun, blooming close to each other.
