I’m in Hollywood Chapter 1056: It ’s so small

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Within 8:30, the crew of "Gravity" reached the lakeside of Lake Will, connected to the Colorado River, more than two hundred kilometers northwest of Phoenix.

Today, there are only two scenes left. One scene is a real shot of the return cabin crashing into the lake from a high altitude. The other scene is Heroine Ryan Stone played by Jodie from the lake to the shore. As for the return cabin and underwater scenes, they have been completed in the Los Angeles studio. Therefore, Eric hopes to get it all in one day, and everyone can move freely in the next few days.

Bao Will in the open space by the lake, everyone gathered around Eric to discuss the next shoots plan, because Nickel just found another problem that had to be paid attention to.

"The weather is very good today, which is very suitable for the shoots landing scene. However, because the weather is so good, there is no wind at all. After the return cabin falls, it is easy to be covered by a parachute, affecting the shoots of the lens, so we have to Temporarily create some wind to blow the parachute away. "

Nickel finished, several other crew members could not help frowning.

If it is other times, this is of course only a small problem, just bring a blower over. Even if you want to blow off a parachute with an area of ​​more than one square kilometer, Hollywood can find corresponding high-power blowers. When Eric was originally shoots "Twister", it even used Boeing aircraft engines to create hurricanes.

However, today's situation is rather special.

Phoenix certainly does n’t have the high-power blowers that the crew needs, which requires shipping from Los Angeles. Even if it is checked by helicopter, it is estimated that it is almost noon. After shipping and installing it again, it is difficult to say whether the remaining time can still be used to shoot the lens.

If you wait until tomorrow, with the capacity of a large number of media reporters gathered in Phoenix, it is estimated that hundreds of people will come to ‘witness’ to return to the cabin and land, then it will be lively.

Everyone was discussing the countermeasures, and a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Mr. Williams, if you just want to blow off the parachute, it is actually very simple."

The crowd stopped talking and focused their attention on a big man standing nearly two meters tall outside the crowd.

That was one of the four helicopter pilots of the VH-60 driving team, named Mark · Bill Man. Mark · Bill Man once served in the United States Marine Corps. He is in his forties and has more than ten years of helicopter driving experience. He also participated in military assistance to Afghanistan in the 1980s. After he retired, he worked for a helicopter leasing company in Los Angeles. He started driving Eric helicopters six years ago. Later, he was hired by Eric at a high salary to work for himself. Now he is the foreman of the four pilots of Cliff Peak Manor.

Seeing that everyone ’s eyes were focused on himself, Mark · Bill Man smiled a little embarrassedly, reaching for the two VH-60s that were not far away, and said directly: "Helicopter wings are blowing up The wind is much larger than the blower. "

After hearing Mark · Bill Man's words, everyone's eyes turned to the helicopter again. William · Stewart glanced a few times and said, "Should the wind of the helicopter blow down?"

Mark · Bill Mandao: "It's okay to come by the side."

A pencil held by Eric turned around between fingers without much hesitation, pointing to the open lake in front of everyone, saying: "Mark, I want the wind to be able to blow from west to east, please show me first Show me. "

Mark · Bill Man nodded, but patted the shoulder of another pilot younger than him and said, "Let Tim come, he is more skilled."

Eric glanced at the pilot named Tim Torres next to Mark · Bill, nodded, and there was no objection.

After a few minutes, VH-60 took off on the shore, turned to the center of Lake Will, hovered at a height of seven or eight meters from the lake, and then began to look up and forward, and the length of the eye was more than 20 meters. The fuselage climbed up slowly like a gecko. Although the height of the helicopter was more than ten meters above the lake, the powerful blowing force of the wing still made a significant ripple on the lake on the east side.

Seeing this situation, Eric has already made up his mind, and at the same time, he also feels that he is worth the huge annual salary of several pilots.

However, the flight or performance above the lake is obviously not over yet. The helicopter climbed slowly for a moment, and then began to flip slowly but flexibly, making a 180-degree inverted U-shaped flight in the air like a dive. Track.

Seeing that this is obviously a performance in the field of flying stunts, everyone couldn't help clapping, and Eric couldn't help clapping his hands.

Tim Torres estimated that he felt the reaction of the crowd, and he made several difficult moves in a row before pulling the helicopter back to the shore. Eric watched the helicopter stop on the shore and joked to Mark · Bill beside him: "Mark, you tell Tim, if he dares to drive like this when I'm on the plane, I will dismiss him immediately. "

In everyone's laughter, Mark · Bill Man shook his head: "Of course not."

Discussed the details of the specific plan in detail, and solved the problem of parachute. The crew began to formally prepare to return to the shoots of the cabin landing scene.

A VH-60 with the return cabin and prop group members slowly lifted off. Eric and Nickel were divided into two photography teams, driving two speedboats prepared in advance to swim on the lake, waiting for the return cabin to catch when it landed Lens.

In intercom, it was confirmed that VH-60 had flown to the height determined in advance. After other departments were ready, Eric issued a shooting order.

The return cabin model was dropped from a height of 1500 meters. Under the remote control of the prop group, the parachute was accurately opened. Another group of props on the ground were also preparing to perform the pop-up operation of the door. The reverse thrust rocket is completely authentic. The Eric can be customized from Russia and can be automatically started accurately when it is one meter from the ground.

A huge parachute like a strange mushroom blooms in the sky, and another VH-60 hovering not far away is also preparing to wait for the return cabin to fall into the lake and blow the parachute away.

After more than ten seconds, the return cabin and parachute rushed towards the lake at a speed of more than ten meters per second, and then the bottom of the return cabin suddenly burst at a very close distance from the lake. The following scene was beyond the expectations of many people. Everyone obviously underestimated the energy of the reverse thrust rocket when it burst instantaneously. At that moment, the lake surface was like a bomb, which exploded and blasted five or six meters. The high waves quickly shot around.

Although the distance has been adjusted, but time is limited, it is impossible for the two speedboats on the lake to judge the point too accurately. One of the speedboats is only seven or eight meters away from the landing point of the return cabin. The huge waves rolled up to the speedboat like a long predator tongue protruding from a giant beneath the surface of the water. As if with a clatter, several people on the speedboat were directly overturned by the waves.

The time when all this happened was actually between two and three seconds. The Carolyn who was standing on the lake holding the Eric Director notebook quickly blinked a few times, only to realize that the speedboat that was hit by the waves was standing The person is Eric. She feels her heart is tight, and she can't help running towards the lake. Other people who are still in a daze have noticed that the girl's bunny usually rushes out, and they also run to the lake.

Due to the anxiety in her heart, Carolyn did n’t even pay attention to her feet during the running. It seemed that she stepped on something during the process. The girl staggered suddenly and almost fell off, but she did n’t think about it, feeling that Meyer was in With a hand next to him, steady his body, Carolyn still ran forward.

"I ’m okay here, everyone is okay, the departments continue. Tim, blow the parachute away, pay attention, to the north. There is also a props group, ready to pop the hatch. Nickel, you come to shoots hatch to pop up Lens, in addition, how is your side, is the lens on my side obsolete? "

After a while, the voices of Eric were heard simultaneously on several intercoms of the crew, and all the talents were relieved.

Carolyn, who had stepped on the shore water unconsciously, greatly relieved, and looked at the figure of Eric on the speedboat in the lake to stand up again, which made me feel relieved, and also felt immersed The right ankle in the water was a little tingling, and her mind was on the Eric side. The girl thought that the little twisted a little, but she didn't care too much.

"Carly, come up quickly, your pants are wet."

After hearing Meyer's shouting behind him, Carolyn realized that she was standing in front of everyone unconsciously, and only she ran into the water alone. His face was a little bit ashamed, and the girl shyly avoided the slightly ridiculous eyes of everyone. She still held the Eric Director on her chest and walked out of the water with her small head hanging down.

"You are really, but there are no shoes for you to change," stretched out and pulled Carolyn away from the mud on the shore, Meyer said, noticing that Carolyn's footsteps were a bit unstable, concerned: "Your feet What's wrong? "

Although I felt a little pain in my ankle during walking, everyone was busy nervously, but Carolyn did n’t want to cause trouble to everyone and shook his head: “It ’s nothing, it ’s just muddy.”

"Oh, let's go over there and clean it up," Meyer did not doubt him, and helped Carolyn to the small area where the crew temporarily rested.

Unexpected circumstances scrapped all the lenses of the shoots camera on the Eric side. Fortunately, the shoots of Nickel was all going well. More than ten minutes later, the people on both speedboats went ashore, and the staff of the prop team Take a speedboat and enter the lake to start salvaging the sinking cabin props. Although the crew does not care about the money in the cabin for selling scrap iron, but throws the model in the lake, it will not only be dug out by media reporters, but also possible Will be troubled by environmental protection organizations.

Eric was soaked after landing, but the crew did n’t expect this in advance. He could only take off his wet coat, simply wiped the water stains on his body, and checked the lens of Nickel shoots again, confirming just now The success of the work was not in vain. This was like a few other bad luck eggs that were poured into a rotten chicken and stood beside the fire that was temporarily raised by the crew to bake.

Everyone ridiculed each other, and felt a small figure walked to their side. Eric noticed the trousers wetted by Carolyn and concernedly said: "Stepped in the water?"

"Well," Carolyn nodded embarrassedly, feeling that it was useless, could not help anything, and let Eric care about itself.

"Oh, let ’s bake it. I did n’t prepare it in advance. I can only go back in the afternoon and change my clothes."

"No, it doesn't matter."

Eric saw a strand of hair hang down in front of the girl when she shook her head. She reached out and helped the girl, and when she saw this Nie retracted her neck, she scraped on her little nose with a smile.

The Carolyn subconsciously wanted to protest as usual, but this time he refrained, with these sweet hearts in his heart, but his eyes did not dare to look at other people around him.

Has been busy for nearly an hour, and will return to the cabin model to salvage ashore, repacked and hung under the helicopter to be transported back in the afternoon, look at the time, just finished shooting this group of shots, time has passed 11:30. So the crew did not continue, and began to eat the simple lunch brought in the morning. In addition to the few people who stayed at the lake Will in advance, the entire crew was only 27 people. Although the Hollywood unions had a strict shoots treatment policy, everyone did not care about this meal. The crew was already in Phoenix. The resort has arranged a very grand killing party, as long as it can be completed today, everyone can go back and enjoy.

"Eric, I suddenly found a problem Oh," said Jodie, who had changed his simple vest shorts before lunch, and said with interest.

Eric is writing down some of the changes that need to be made later in the morning of the group of lenses on his Director desk. He said: "What?"

Jodie flipped over the stack of paintings given to him by Eric, and showed several sub-lenses to Eric, saying: "The return cabin descended from the sky, Ryan fell into the bottom of the lake, Ryan surfaced from the water, Ryan climbed to the shore, and finally, Ryan Stand up, this seems to herald the evolution of life, aquatic, amphibious, terrestrial, and even the ultimate human. However, from the beginning, you seem to agree that life on earth is actually from the alien kind Opinion, right? "

Eric did n’t expect that Jodie ’s eyes would be so sharp, he smiled and said, “You can understand this way.”

"Does that mean that the original lens of the baby in the capsule in the mother's body also represents the meaning of life originating from aliens?"

"That's not true, I just want to express a person's original state of mind in a lonely and helpless moment. In this case, who is the first thing you think of?"

Jodie recalled his mentality at the time of the shoots lens and blurted out: "Mama."

"Yes." Eric nodded and said: "Although it will be affected by the living environment of The Day After Tomorrow, when people are most lonely and helpless, they often desire to return to their mother's arms."

Jodie nodded seriously, and in an instant, suddenly inexplicably remembered the rumors of some Oedipus complex of this guy beside him, his eyes became strange again.

Eric felt that Jodie's eyes became weird. Although she didn't quite understand what she was thinking, it was obviously not a good thing. She immediately put her expression away and put on the majesty of Director, saying: "Nà, ready to start shooting, go and prepare."

Jodie gave Eric a blank look, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You guy."
