"Wow, standing in front of you makes me feel like I am not an actor at all." John Reilly said with a frustrated face.

Ben Westshaw, who was standing next to him, also nodded, "I almost feel like I have never performed before. Maybe, I should change my career."

Even Rachel Weisz, who came to watch, joined in the fun, "Director, can I withdraw from the group now? I think I may not be suitable for this movie."

Lan Li, who became the object of the collective siege, looked at a group of colleagues speechlessly, but he did not speak out, but turned to look at Oggs, "Director, I think my pay can be doubled, no I know, three times? Five times? My current workload seems to have exceeded the contract. Or, we can shoot a one-man show, the whole process is David's monologue, an experimental film, I think I can."

Looking at Lan Li’s appearance, all the staff around couldn’t help the smiles at the corners of their mouths, especially the jaw-dropping expressions of John and Westshaw, that was even more joyful, but because the atmosphere was not quite right, that smile The sound was always muffled in his chest, and failed to burst out.

The final finishing touches must be Lan Lilly.

Lan Li cast his gaze at Oggs, who was at a loss. The choking figure couldn't say a word. He seemed to have forgotten that he should breathe, and his chubby cheeks began to swell slightly. There was a sentence, "What should I do, I think we seem to have set Oggs on fire, and he is about to explode."

boom!

The whole set burst into laughter, and the laughter couldn't stop at all.

However, Oggs is not a director who plays with the audience. He looks at Lan Li with helplessness. He didn't joking with everyone, but he didn't stop everyone. Then he finally started breathing again, looking towards Lan with his eyes. Li expresses "strong condemnation."

Lanly could perceive that Ogus was not really angry, but he did mind the delay in the shooting, so he turned his head to look at John and muttered a few words in his ear.

Oggs was completely puzzled.

Then you can see John stand up and walk towards Oggs, "This scene just now, let's do it again, do you have any comments?"

Oggs hadn't reacted at the beginning, was it because Lanly was talking about this with John just now? Then why can't Renly come here by himself?

Immediately afterwards, with a flash of inspiration, Ogus understood it. Lanly made it clear that it was intentional: on the one hand, he emphasized the filming, because he knew it would calm Ogus and focus on the shooting again. ; On the other hand, it implied that Ogus still had a prejudice against Renly, so he asked Ogus’ darling John to comfort him and ease Ogus’s "resentment."

This... This is obviously teasing Oggs.

Oggs looked at Lan Li speechlessly, trying to fight back, but seeing Lan Li’s innocent face, it seemed that he had entered David’s performance again, he couldn’t get serious, and in the end he didn’t hold back. , Laughed helplessly-Lan Li always knows how to control the whole situation, doesn't he?

Turning his head to look at John, "Then make another shot. The performance just now is good. You can do it again according to your own understanding. I don't have any comments." After seeing Lan Li again, Oggs thought for a while. , After all, did not hold back, "Why did Lan Li not come by himself and let you over?"

John blinked, "Then, why don't you go and ask Ranley by yourself and ask me?"

Oggs, "..." Then he let out a long sigh, and said, "Just now, I'm going to make another shot of this scene!"

John turned and walked towards Lan Li, with a playful smile on his face, and shook his head again and again, like two high school students working together to do bad things.

...

The filming of the "Lobster" crew is progressing very smoothly, and the working atmosphere of the entire crew is also very relaxed.

For Lan Li, comedy performance is indeed a kind of enjoyment. You can explore different performance methods and explore different performance forms.

Later, Lan Li went to town several times, all to see Buster Keaton's works. Sometimes there is only one person, sometimes in groups, because of Lanly's performance, many actors in the crew are interested in Buster Keaton, and hope they can also be inspired.

Oggs was overjoyed.

Buster Keaton’s performance does give the "Lobster" this black humorous work more possibilities, but the specific circumstances are still different because of the different actors. Obviously, Lan Li is still a leader, and his performance is delicate and tactile. The most outstanding ones are often able to capture more chemical reactions.

In addition to John and Wisshaw, Lanly and Olivia spend a lot of time together. They are not friends, because every discussion seems extremely...formal, discussing comedy performances, stage styles, and character textures. , And so on, but also ridiculed each other because of disagreements. The rattling atmosphere repeatedly made the onlookers sweat, but the two were very dedicated. After the quarrel, it seemed that nothing had happened.

They don’t seem to be friends at all. They say they are not friends, but they always sit together and discuss, over and over again, tirelessly.

This can be considered a unique partnership.

Because of the harmony of the whole crew, and because of Oggs’s accurate positioning of actors and styles, the shooting progress of the crew was very smooth, even beyond imagination. In less than three weeks, the shooting of the hotel part was all over, and the forest part The shooting also went smoothly.

For other crews, adjusting the light is undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult part of outdoor shooting. This was the case when shooting "Interstellar". One scene was shot for two hours, but adjusting the light may take four hours or even Six hours, a whole day's work was spent waiting; but for the "Lobster" crew, such a problem did not exist at all.

At the beginning, Oggs chose Ireland and the small town of Sneem as the shooting base. The main reason was that he wanted to use natural light to complete the shooting and make full use of the gloomy and dim environment here to create the cold texture required for the movie.

For Oggs, natural light is the most perfect light, no need to adjust and perfect, every day when you arrive at the shooting site, you will adjust the corresponding shooting plan when facing any natural situation. Wind or rain cannot prevent the crew from shooting. Work, you don’t even need to spend time to complete the light metering and dimming work, just roll up your sleeves and you can go into battle.

Of course, the light changes in Ireland throughout the year are relatively stable, which also ensures that Oggs can face a relatively balanced shooting environment, and the light and weather can be maintained in a stable state, which also saves countless time for shooting. ——Otherwise, if it is sunny today and stormy tomorrow, then the filmed scenes will not be able to complete even the scenes, and that will not be possible.

Entering the forest from the hotel, the "Lobster" crew did not feel any significant changes in the shooting progress. The scenario that really made the shooting progress a little turbulent is still the script.

Although Oggs works overtime every night, the script of the forest part still has many flaws. In each day of filming, Oggs and the actors need to make subtle adjustments to the lines and are basically in a state of thinking while shooting. This is also doomed to the shooting progress can not be smooth, so the speed will inevitably be affected.

However, the entire crew was fully engaged in shooting, instead of being able to feel the "speed blocked" state. The fully focused work state made those stumblings become insignificant, because the entire creative process is kept in a smooth state. The storm and the collision of thoughts ensure that the shooting is always maintained with excitement/emotion. Every actor is actively participating in his work, and he has forgotten the meaning of time, and can only feel that everything is developing on the right track. This is enough.

Another slight difference is that after the story enters the forest part, part of the plot takes place in the dark night, and Oggs insists on shooting with natural light, which also means that they cannot artificially create the night effect, but need to adjust the work. Work and rest time, rest during the day and work at night——

In this way, the shooting of the night scene becomes interesting.

In addition to the environment and state, they also need to race against time, otherwise, after sunrise, the changes in the surrounding light will make it impossible to continue shooting.

Now Lan Li finally understands how difficult and expensive it is to shoot "wilder hunter", because the requirements of "wilder hunter" on the natural environment are dozens or even hundreds of times more demanding than "lobster", which also means The crew needs to fight against nature and time all the time.

It’s no wonder that the investment cost of this work easily exceeded 100 million~www.novelhall.com~ So far, all the crews experienced by Lan Li strictly abide by the eight-hour working time rule, and the working time must not exceed eight hours per day. "Lobster "It is no exception. This also means that in order to shoot night scenes, the entire crew must sleep during the day, compulsorily reverse the jet lag.

In the past when filming "Transcendence", Tony Kaye also liked to shoot night scenes. Renly had experienced all night shooting scenes, but at that time it was in New York. The whole city was full of noisy noises, even in the middle of the night. Day; and this time shooting "lobster", but you need to enter the dark night of nature, that is the total night-and the forest next to the small town of Sneem still maintains the original ecology, which also means insects and beasts. They all exist, and naturally, the overall shooting experience is different.

This is another reason why Lan Li likes the "Lobster" crew very much: he has experienced a new shooting state, and then adjusted the state according to different conditions, which is also a severe test.

Sleeping drowsily until five o’clock in the afternoon, Nathan awakened Lan Li. Lan Li closed his eyes and sat up upright, but he was still unwilling to leave the bed, as if he had fallen asleep again with his eyes closed. Nathan's voice came, "Len Li, Matthew is here."
