Chapter 659 Become a disabled person in the film
"Lights? Where is the lights I want?"
A crisp sound rang out from behind. When Ryan looked back, Natalie behind him handed the camera to her assistant and walked around the small canyon built, "I don't want to explain, I just want you to complete the work in your hands seriously. This article was first published by...
"I promise."
The head of the lighting group immediately said, "This was just an accident."
As footsteps rang out, Natalie walked into the canyon again, picked up the portable camera again, and asked Ryan, "Are you ready?"
Ryan didn't say anything, but raised his hand and made an 'ok' gesture.
"Prepare……"
Natalie's assistant Anna shouted loudly, "Scene 55, Act 12, start now!"
As the night passed, the bright sunlight illuminated the cold and dark canyon little by little. The golden light fell on the brown-red rocks and slowly moved towards the trapped Ryan. He looked there, breathing a little rapid, and his eyes showed an unstoppable desire. It was not only a warm smell, but also a sense of freedom.
Natalie, who was standing above Ryan, used the camera to capture every change in Ryan's expression. In the cable car above her, the main cameraman was taking pictures of the panoramic view of the canyon.
The sun finally moved here, illuminating Ryan's tired face, but because of the terrain, he stopped beside him. Ryan took off his shoes and reached into the sun with his bare feet.
Natalie immediately gave the foot a closeup, then moved the camera to Ryan's face again, and in a comfortable sigh, he showed a slightly intoxicated expression. The sunlight was so charming and precious to a person who had been trapped for a long time.
He slowly caressed the rock walls warmed by the sun. Although the "rocks" made of these latex feel extremely poor, Ryan still enjoyed this short moment according to the character's requirements.
Perhaps only those who have lost their freedom can understand how Alan Ruston felt at that time.
When he turned around, Ryan found that Natalie was right in front of him. She was carrying the camera, and at a distance of up to one foot, she seemed to be shooting close-ups of his face.
Ryan has more than ten years of rich acting experience and has been filming for more than ten days. He gradually found the feeling of a role and was still fully devoted. The girl on the other side is a director and videographer for him at this time, and there is no need to consider the rest at work.
"cut!" Natalie finally stopped shouting, she gave Ryan a thumbs up and pointed her chin, "It's done a great job!"
Then she slid down from Ryan and said to the cameraman in the cable car above, "Jarvis, change the angle and shoot it again."
Although he was in a very awkward position and was a little tired after the long shot just now, Ryan still fully cooperated with the crew's work. As he said, he was an actor during the filming and had the responsibility to cooperate with the crew to complete his work.
After Natalie called again to stop, Ryan jumped off the hanging rock. She shook the right hand that was placed between the two prop rocks and was a little paralyzed. After feeling the blood flowed normally, she followed Natalie and walked out of the Blue John Canyon built.
"Tired?" Natalie handed the camera to her assistant and asked back.
"If it's too long," Ryan pointed to his right hand, "It's very uncomfortable here."
"Notify and rest for half an hour." Natalie ordered her assistant. She returned to the front of the monitor, took the camera, connected the data cable, and said to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "There is no such a long lens below."
Taking off the hat he was wearing, Ryan took the two cups of coffee from Anna and placed one in front of Natalie. "You should also pay attention to rest, we have plenty of time."
The footage of the film is not complicated. Most of it is Ryan's one-man show. According to the plan, the studio will be completed in the first month, and then after the Oscars, you will go to Canyon National Park to complete a small number of outdoor scenes.
"What do you think?" Natalie picked up the coffee cup and pointed at the screen in the monitor. Ryan glanced at it, then said, "You are the director, and these are your job."
Despite occasionally saying a few suggestions, from filming to final editing, Ryan gave all the rights to Natalie, and the movie only went as she thought.
"The following is a scene where you shoot your life diary."
Turning off the monitor, Natalie waved to the prop group, and someone immediately sent a DVD. After Ryan took it, he pointed to the trademark of "Sony" on it and asked, "Is this an advertising sponsorship?"
"That's right." Natalie's slightly tired face showed a cramped smile. "Sony paid $3 million in advertising. Sorry, we borrowed your reputation when we recruited sponsorship."
"It's okay." Ryan said, fiddling with the dv, "this is a good thing for both the movie and the crew."
Inserting advertising has long become an inseparable part of Hollywood movies. If you observe carefully, you will see the shadow of advertising in many movies. Ryan and Disney have never rejected this point. Instead, they welcome people to pay for the cost of the movie. However, he once solemnly warned his subordinate production companies to pay attention to the methods of advertising implantation and not to be crazy.
Having said that, if this was not the movie he starred in, it would be difficult for the crew to get the advertising fee.
Later, Ryan listened to Natalie's introduction and realized that the implanted advertisements were not just that. All the outdoor sports equipment on him was basically the same brand, and the brand also paid $3 million.
"This is Ryan's influence, and the production cost of 10 million dollars has been recovered halfway."
This is what the assistant director said to Natalie, which is appropriate. After these advertisers confirmed that Ryan was the starring actor, they determined the sponsorship contract almost as quickly as possible.
"At least part of the money has been recovered."
After filming Alan Ruston's selfie life diary, Natalie took back the DVD, "This way I will be under much less pressure."
"Nate, you are going to become a qualified crew leader." Ryan teased her.
However, this is a good phenomenon. Not all directors are James Cameron. They have such a terrifying budget when filming. If a director wants Hollywood to pay attention, he must let producers see that it can create value. If there is not even the minimum commercial value, in today's era, such directors are destined to pass by Hollywood.
After lunch, the crew left Disney Studios and moved to the private club of Harvey Weinstein in Malibu. Next, they had to borrow the swimming area here to film the life scenes of Allen Ruston who still loved sports and other aspects after amputation.
There are not many descriptions of this scene in the script, but Natalie wants to shoot multi-faceted shots to show the real life of this brave man after he recovers through quick editing.
If turning a person into a disabled person in the video? It's too easy for Hollywood.
The makeup artist wrapped Ryan's right hand from below the elbow joint into a thin green curtain, which would not affect his next diving in the swimming pool, and could easily wipe this arm during post-production.
"You don't seem to have a significant effect on losing weight."
Walking to the side of the pool, Natalie looked up and down at Ryan, who was wearing only big swimming trunks, "How heavy are you now?"
"Honey."
Poked his chest and Ryan said helplessly, "I'm less than 180 pounds now. Do I want to lose 130 pounds like I did when I was filming "Pianoist"?"
"I just suggest you do better." Natalie couldn't help but see the 130-pound Ryan in her mind. She was simply skinny and terrifying. "Okay, get ready, we're going to start shooting."
After saying that, she walked back to the back of the monitor.
The three underwater cameras were already ready. After Natalie called to start, Ryan jumped into the swimming pool and swam towards the opposite side in her normal posture.
While swimming, he also had to control his expression and speed, and the camera in front slowly retreated at a stable speed.
With the sound of "slam" water, Ryan swam out of the water, lay on the edge of the swimming pool, and looked at the group of people opposite him. These temporary actors were guest stars of people from various jobs in the crew. They didn't need any acting skills, just stand there naturally.
The camera flashed past and Natalie called to stop again.
"This shot has passed, prepare for the next one!"
Although there are many extras added to the camera here, it is still Ryan's one-man show. Today, he is in very good condition. Most of the cameras are passed in one go, which has also improved the efficiency of the crew. The scenes that were originally planned to be completed in one day and a half, but they were all completed in just one afternoon.
When Ryan changed his clothes and came out, he found that the crew was about to return to Disney Studios. Natalie explained a few words to the deputy director and walked over.
"Alison just called." She turned her cell phone in her hand, "She's waiting for us in North Hollywood."
"Have she returned from sea?" Ryan asked, pulling Natalie up and following the crew to the parking lot, "Is there anything she has to do?"
"I want to have supper with us," Natalie said as she walked, "It seems Emma Watson, who went out to sea, is here too."
Ryan knew that the Harry Potter crew had already come to Los Angeles and was preparing to attend the upcoming Oscars. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" could not win heavyweight awards, but still received many nominations for technical awards such as the best visual effect.
Besides, the crew appeared on the Oscar red carpet, which is also one of the best ways to promote the next movie.
In the next few years, a Harry Potter movie will be released basically every year.
After rushing to North Hollywood, Ryan and the other two went directly to Mr. Zhou’s restaurant and met Taylor and Miss Hermione who sat with her intimately chatting. (To be continued...)
