More than a week of training ended soon, but "Inception" still did not start shooting immediately. In order to adapt to the complete weightlessness, it took another five days to train. Therefore, when "Inception" started shooting, it stayed in the studio of Warner Studios in Los Angeles, and first filmed the second level of the script here.
In the second dream, the main part of the fighting scenes in the hotel corridor is the scenes of Arthur played by Joseph Levitt, who is also the one who has been training for the longest time in the "Vision Ring". Although Joseph Levitt is already very skilled in walking and running inside, when fighting, a body is unbalanced, he will fall miserably. So, when Lee Junyi and others are watching Joseph Levitt filming outside, they see a person flying over the eaves and walls in the hotel corridor, just like performing in an acrobatic troupe, and they fall hard from time to time, and then everyone smiles gloating outside.
Of course, everyone is bound to suffer. Except for Marion Cotillard, everyone needs to film weightless scenes. In the environment of the earth, everyone, including Lee Junyi, is full of interest in how to create real physical weightlessness.
However, before filming the weightless part, while Joseph Levitt and others were filming the fighting scenes in the hotel corridor, Lee Junyi came to another studio in the Warner Studios studio, where he would shoot the fighting scenes in the Japanese palace and also film a special effect scene that flooded Kingsoft.
First of all, Lee Junyi first filmed a series of fights with Ken Watanabe and Marion Cotillard, chasing scenes, and also chased in this temporary Japanese palace with several extras. This scene was not a difficult thing for Lee Junyi. The entire shooting process was progressing smoothly, and Christopher Nolan was also very satisfied. However, what Lee Junyi was really curious about was how to shoot Mian Jinshan. This was a completely impossible scene in the small-budget movie he had shot before, and it was also a new experience.
"Yi, you stand here." When all the staff were busy, Li Junyi was pulled to the center of the scene by photographer Varé Fister. He was holding a machine similar to a portable microphone in his hand and measured it on Li Junyi's face. This is the photometer used in traditional light distribution.
The so-called light distribution is tone-inspired color. The reason why movies need to be light distribution is mainly because there are inevitably differences between the lenses shot under different light sources at different times and different light sources. If they are directly printed without processing, the lenses will appear disharmonious when editing together. Of course, the creators are in their own artistic pursuits, making the films show the style they need, which is also one of the reasons.
When shooting a "single man", Tom Ford put a lot of effort into matching light, but Tom Ford relies more on digital color grading software, while Christopher Nolan, who only trusts traditional film, uses traditional light grading, so the scene of Vale Fister personally adjusting colors around Lee Junyi on the set. Vale Fister is Christopher Nolan's personal photographer and has a deep understanding of traditional photochemical technology.
"Fester, before shooting, it will take half an hour to adjust the lights alone. Will it slow down the shooting progress?" Most of the films that Lee Junyi used to shoot using post-digit color grading, so the color grading work is not that complicated when shooting on-site. "As far as I know, Chris is a director who pursues extreme efficiency. His efficiency in filming is famously faster," while speaking, you can also hear Christopher Nolan urging the staff, while Emma Thomas is standing in front of the entire scene and discussing details with the prop artist. "Then he still spends so much time on the light distribution."
Varre Fist did not answer the question of Li Junyi as a layman, carefully recorded the data on the photometer, and then shouted to the lighting engineer behind him, "No problem, that's it." After looking back, he explained to Li Junyi, "Traditional light distribution is indeed very complicated and time-consuming. I need to make very trivial adjustments to the color balance and exposure conditions on the scene, but this will greatly reduce the work we need to deal with later, almost half of the time required for digital color adjustment. This is why Chris is willing to let me spend a long time on the spot to distribute light."
Lee Junyi suddenly realized that this is the case. As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not delay chopping wood. That's the reason. Sure enough, Christopher Nolan still believes in film and is not very keen on computers, digital technology, etc.
At this time, Christopher Nolan saw that Li Junyi had already prepared here, so she walked over, "Yi, wait for the water to come out of the window, don't worry, the glass fragments will not shoot here." Christopher Nolan looked serious and pointed at the glass on both sides of the ceiling, "You will also be flooded by water on both sides, and the water will cover you directly, flooding you, but don't worry, this water will not completely flood the place. You just need to be in this position and stand firm enough. Are you sure there is no problem, can you go into battle yourself?"
Since there will be many thrilling and difficult scenes during the filming of this movie, the crew bought insurance for each actor and equipped them with stand-alone actors. Every time they shoot, the stand-alone actors will be on standby at any time. So, before filming this scene, Christopher Nolan asked Lee Junyi specifically whether he needed to use a stand-alone.
Lee Junyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just be sure that the water won't fill the entire room and put me in danger of drowning." Lee Junyi was of course joking. This is an open space. Not to mention sealing, there is the entire open space behind him, and there is no wall at all. Of course, the water cannot flood him. Hearing Lee Junyi's joke, Christopher Nolan looked at Lee Junyi helplessly, but did not laugh, just said "Be careful, stand firm", and then walked back to the back of his camera.
In fact, the Japanese palace scene where Li Junyi is now in the Japanese style, all the internal constructions are built in the Japanese style. This has taken a lot of thought, but the important thing is that there are twenty-six water tanks outside the window at the ceiling, which store 5,000 gallons of water - almost nineteen tons of water. As long as Christopher Nolan gives the order, these water tanks will be opened. The huge pressure will immediately break through the window glass, and then the water will come out, creating a spectacular scene of water flooding Jinshan.
"Yi, give me a close-up of my head first." After Christopher Nolan was sure that everything was ready, he immediately started filming. He was indeed an efficient director. "The eyes were like the palace swaying, and the flood was about to come. OK."
After everything was ready, Li Junyi stood in the palace, motionless, waiting for the water to flood the Jinshan Mountain. Filming is really a wonderful thing. Li Junyi knew that he was about to be flooded, and he was still a huge hit, but he could not dodge or move, and his feet would stand on the ground as if they were rooted. However, Li Junyi also had a good mentality. He was joking with Allen Paige just now, "This is called facing the tsunami head-on, practice more, 0 When the end of the world comes, he was calm." As a result, he fell all around him.
Li Junyi stood steadily, and only heard Christopher Nolan's order, almost accompanied by his voice, and the sound of glass breaking. Since the outlet of the water flow was only a narrow window, it was like a waterfall bursting, and the torrent sprayed directly from the window. From far to near, the windows burst one by one, reminding people of the situation of opening the dam to release the floodgates. The scene was spectacular.
But no matter how spectacular the people outside felt, they did not have the same feeling as Lee Junyi. Standing there, Lee Junyi only felt a slight vibration from the entire set building, and the waves in the sky were hitting him little by little with a huge sense of oppression. Anyone subconsciously wanted to escape, but Lee Junyi's mind had only one idea at this time, "Stand in place." Once Lee Junyi moves, maybe the entire scene will be refilmed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the crew is working hard. So his hands and feet seem to be bound, and they are firmly rooted in the same place.
But in just a moment, the water came from the far end to both sides of Li Junyi. The sound of the window rupture became louder and a little harsh. Before I could react, the flood poured out. I looked up slightly and saw that the whole water formed a curtain. I don’t know why Li Junyi thought of the word “water curtain cave”. The water gathered in one piece, like a curtain cloth. Before I could turn my mind away, this curtain hit Li Junyi’s head, as if a wave was pouring into the sea, and Li Junyi disappeared into the water curtain in an instant.
Fortunately, although the water is under great pressure, the pressure is much smaller than the sea. After Li Junyi was hit by the water, she just shook it in place for a few times and stood up. Then she appeared in front of the entire crew like a chicken.
"cut, perfect" Christopher Nolan's voice came immediately, and everyone applauded, and they were happy that the scene could be completed successfully.
"Oh, my hairstyle..." Li Junyi, who loves to play tricks, made everyone laugh with a strange cry, and the atmosphere was very hot.
The shooting of Lee Junyi was smooth, and the shooting progress of Joseph Levitt was also very gratifying. In fact, the shooting part in the studio was generally smooth. Whether it was lighting distribution or scene construction, the entire crew spent countless efforts, so the shooting felt that everything was ready, and the actors quickly devoted themselves to the shooting.
"Allen, do we have to put all on the Wia and shoot weightless scenes? That's a disaster for us and the post-production special effects engineers." Li Junyi looked at the scene in front of him and said to Alan Paige.
The second update is here today. I have some headaches, so I won’t update today. Sorry.
Chapter completed!
