The sky is clearing, and the crew is busy up and down. Lanly and Felicity are no exception. They are preparing to film their last scene in the Maldives, which is also the ending of Cassian and Jean-Uso

The two teamed up to steal the production drawings of the Death Star and after some tossing, they finally transmitted the information to the warship outside the planet, but they had already missed the opportunity to leave the base because the empire had already sent an army, headed by the black warrior. , Surrounded the entire planetary base; then, the black warrior issued an order to directly destroy the entire planet in order to prevent the blueprint from being leaked. Therefore, everyone staying in the base, no one can leave alive.

This also meant that the entire rebel squad that stole the drawings was wiped out.

Taking into account the overall situation and rhythm of the movie, Garis does not intend to use the sub-shots to explain everyone's reaction when facing death, creating a Michael-Bay-style slow motion and tragic, but to focus the camera on Cassian and Jean-Uso Two people, they bear the weight of the whole ending, tragic and tragic.

Undoubtedly, this is a very important scene, and it is also a scene where the mood of the whole story is sublimated. Who else in the whole crew can be more suitable than Lan Li and Felicity?

Regarding this scene, even Lan Li dare not take it lightly. The content of the performance itself has a certain degree of difficulty, but more importantly, "Lifting weights lightly" is like the last scene of "Interstellar Crossing", which must show the depth of the characters and the story. You can't exert too much force to appear deliberately sensational, this scale of control is undoubtedly the core of the whole scene.

Previously in "Interstellar Transition", it was Lan Li's performance alone, controlled by himself, and found the correct performance track after careful consideration; but now it is a rival drama, he needs to cooperate with Felicity, The fit between the two parties goes beyond individual prominence, and they need to find a correct rhythm and track between them.

Originally, this is not a problem, just running in and practicing, the two actors are well-tested, not to be embarrassed; but the bad weather has become an unknown factor, constantly making troubles and interrupting the rhythm occasionally. Like a child's temper, it is unpredictable. The result is that the rhythm is fast and slow, and there is no way to find the right direction. Even if the experience is as rich as Lanli, it is unavoidable to be disturbed and unable to enter the state.

Facing the mischief of the weather, Lan Li can only smile helplessly. This is one of the dilemmas that must be faced in field shooting.

However, Lanly and Felicity also made corresponding adjustments according to the situation, making full use of the rest time for rehearsals, finding the most suitable rhythm for each other outside of the camera, treating the movie as a stage play, using repeated rehearsals. Searching for the best condition continuously, and then boarding the stage of the "camera" to complete the performance in one go, hoping to complete the shooting before the destruction of the weather arrives.

According to Garis’s vision, the last scene is undoubtedly the sublimation and explosion of emotions. He expects that the chemical reaction between Cassian and Jean-Esso will explode at the closing moment, and then put the smallness of personal emotions in the rescue. The galaxy’s great deeds are not to "belittle" personal emotions, but to make people truly realize that behind the great deeds that promote the historical process, all are composed of individual individuals, thanks to those "small" ones. Existence has led to the birth of "greatness".

Obviously, Garys has very high expectations for this scene, but his understanding of the performance is far from adequate, and it can even be said to be simple and straightforward.

In Garis’ blueprint, two seriously injured people came to the beach and witnessed the magnificent explosion of the imperial battleship destroying the planet. They calmly faced the impending death, and Jean-Uso took the initiative to hold Cassian’s Then Cassian hugged Jean-Erso, greeted the end of destruction, and the camera was finally fixed on Jean-Erso’s tearful eyes.

But Lan Li put forward a different opinion.

The context and thoughts of the whole scene are correct, but the execution method only stays on the surface, and more shows the emotional blending of Cassian and Jean-Esso, from hostility to side by side to intimate, the two finally opened their hearts. , Accepting each other with a hug, and at the same time embracing death, then Garris’s conception just stays here and cannot be further sublimated to the level of "individual and collective".

Hold hands. embrace.

Such an action contained too much personal information and showed more personal emotions, and stripping of the identity of Cassian and the Jean-Esso rebels also stripped the meaning behind such sacrifice.

The straightforward explanation is: This can be seen as the burst and destruction of the love between Cassian and Jean-Esso, but the tragic sacrifice of the entire rebel squad cannot be felt.

Lanly opposes such an interpretation. He does not think it is the correct way to open the last scene. The emotion between Cassian and Jean-Esso is similar to love but higher than love, and only uses "love" to restrain this relationship. , Is undoubtedly superficial and rude, it should be a kind of "love" that is above the basic human emotions:

To my family, friends and lovers, to the land and world I love, I firmly support my beliefs and dreams.

This is a kind of "big love".

If it only falls on the shoulders of Cassian and Jean-Esso, then it will be a neglect and contempt for the entire rebel squad, for the entire film, and for the cause they are striving for at the expense of themselves; just like Garis's vision Generally, this scene has a heavier and more profound meaning, but the problem is that Garris does not know how to elaborate and how to state, how to evolve ideas into shots.

If you use words, you can describe it clearly and accurately; but through the lens, how should the director and the actor cooperate to present that greatness and grandeur?

This is the source of the charm of the film: some directors may choose the way of narration, awkwardly and straightforwardly, and instill their ideas into the audience; but some directors choose the lens to tell their ideas, the light, composition, and perspective Integrating with the actor's performance, telling in detail the surging undercurrents hidden in the depths, leaving room for reflection to the audience, this is the truly clever approach.

But now there is a problem. This is a commercial film. It is impossible for Garris to carefully sculpt the lens bit by bit like Terrence Malik, and it is impossible to spend too much time on emotional narration. Otherwise, Michael Bay, who will fall into sensationalism, is a bad example.

Properness, scale, weight, these are the shackles on Garris's many ideas, which also made him shackled, and the final picture and performance he conceived was denied by Lan Li.

So, what thoughts does Lan Li have?

This is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

The ending of "Gravity" gave Lan Li the inspiration. At the end of the movie, Ryan Stone escaped from the dead and fell into the lake, as if returning to the mother body, and then step by step to get rid of the mother body again, just as ape-man evolved into a human being. , Once again learn to stand up with one's legs, and finally stand upright on both feet in a three-dimensional manner.

Alfonso Cuarón used only one lens to present the interdependent but mutually exclusive relationship between humans and gravity.

Now, can "Rogue One" also do the same?

In terms of director skills, it is not necessary for Renly to ask Garis to imitate Alfonso, but in terms of performance methods, Renly and Felicity can learn from ideas and find a different way of presentation. Then, the two actors started a discussion. And rehearsing, learning from the mistakes again and again, trying to find a more suitable performance method, and drawing a perfect end to the movie with ease.

After repeated rehearsals, they did find a way of presentation, but the discussion was only a discussion. After all, the actual effect could not be truly felt on paper. In the end, they still need to stand on the “stage” to present. This is the real “shine moment”. "

See what content can be captured by Garis's lens, and can it meet expectations? Or is it... Lan Li's thoughts are after all just good-looking and low-handed?

After waiting and waiting, the opportunity finally came again.

"You seem to enjoy it very much." Felicity could feel Lan Li's eager excitement and excitement, seeping between her brows.

In fact, they should be nervous, because the weather window is very small. Heavy rain that may come again at any time is one aspect. On the other hand, Garris hopes to seize the moment of the sunset, use the sunset to simulate the explosion effect, and then transition from the sunset to the planets. The exploding mushroom cloud outlines a tragic beauty at the moment of planet destruction.

This is one of the mood rendering methods that Garis is best at~lightnovelpub.net~ It doesn't need to be too sensational or too much soundtrack, just relying on the picture can create the atmosphere of the scene. If this is shooting in a studio, then Garys may not ask for so much, just use computer special effects to create an explosion effect; but now it has come to the scene to shoot and suffer from the weather, so why not hurry up Where is the opportunity?

Therefore, the crew needs to race with the rainstorm and the sunset, either worrying about the rainstorm coming, or worrying about the sunset disappearing, missing today, and waiting for tomorrow. Therefore, now it is indeed a matter of seconds, even more tense than the stage play. After all, the indoor performance of the stage play does not need to worry about rainstorms at any time.

But Lan Li did not.

He showed a big smile to Felicity, "Isn’t it right? This is the fun of actors, using our way to feel the world and present it, so that the audience can feel the emotion of the character, not a simple explosion. Or drag racing, or other popcorn visual effects, but the real emotions that can really connect with the audience, the sincerity hidden under the computer special effects. I am now completing an important job, and it is a job I like, even though It’s nervousness, and I enjoy it too."

In Lan Li's eyes, Felicity saw the stars.
