In the following time, Duke took Christopher Nolan to the light box and other equipment to check it out, and also had a conversation with him. No matter what, Christopher Nolan will direct a video next with Warner Bros. The success or failure of the film is directly related to his interests.

Following Duke to the director's monitor, Christopher Nolan looked at the cartoon clips played on the monitor screen and asked, "I heard Jamie Johnson talk about it. Have you done a lot of visual previews for shooting?"

"There are a lot of visual previews, but there is still a lot of elastic space at the shooting site." Duke pointed to his head, "If some new ideas come out here and ask the special effects team to do something outside the camera, they must be able to react in time."

Looking at the special effects staff, Duke continued, "If I want to change the speed and time somewhere, they have to do it as soon as possible. So, in addition to doing a good preview in advance, there is also room for maneuver. But for sure, some places cannot maneuver..."

"Where?" Christopher Nolan asked.

"For example, in terms of actors, I would negotiate with Scarlett Johnson and George Clooney, especially in some indoor scenes, which is more common." Duke made several gestures, "Often we would say, 'At the end of this shot, we want you to put your hands here and place them accurately, without deviations.' They knew how to do it, and they would put their hands at the right time, and they worked very well every time."

Not just these, every shot ends, from director Duke to John Schwartzman and Tim Webber to Scarlett Johnson and George Clooney, they will sit together to discuss this shot in order to do their best.

In the next three days, Christopher Nolan came to the crew, and Duke didn't say anything more. The other party was not very famous in the mainstream film industry, but he was not a rookie. He could be described as being talented, but all he lacked was his experience in making commercial movies.

From mid-August to early September, Duke led the crew to shoot with busy shooting, and the time was really tight. Except for two days of rest after the long-shot shooting, the crew had no more holidays during the half-month shooting.

Fortunately, the crew didn't have to run around, all the shooting would be completed in the studio of the Warner Studios, and with the end of George Clooney's scenes, the crew was left with Scarlett Johnson.

"Houston, Houston...I am a space mission specialist. Have you received it?"

In the space capsule built with the set, Scarlett Johnson kept shouting at the phone, and the camera lens swept through her around her, and the Chinese name buttons, table tennis balls and pandas were captured one by one.

Scarlett kept calling, and a response suddenly sounded in the capsule, and the sound was a little stiff. This Chinese response came from Duke himself, and the recording process was specially processed.

“cut!”

Duke shouted and stopped. Then he stood up and said to Scarlett, "Your mood is not in place!"

This shot has been ng many times. This is where Scarlett needs to use her acting skills the most. Duke said it in the early exchange, just letting the crew rest for fifteen minutes, and then let Scarlett find his own feelings.

If she still couldn't find the feeling, Duke planned to lock her in the studio alone, looking for the loneliness of being alone in the sky.

During the shooting that has been conducted, Duke can see that Scarlett Johnson's performance is no worse than Sandra Brock.

Sandra Brock is not known for her acting skills in Hollywood. However, her performance in "Grain" is definitely the highest peak in her acting career, far exceeding the heroine Lianne Taosi, who won the Oscar-winning actress.

In fact, the Oscar winners that Sandra Brock won with the heroine of "Weakness" is also considered one of the "Wind" who can rank among the top five in Oscars. Just like Julia Roberts and Sandra Brock won the Little Golden Man, it is not so much a recognition of her acting skills and roles, but rather a recognition of her years of hard work and her qualifications by the Academy.

As we all know, if you want to win the Oscar for acting, you will rely on not only your role and acting skills.

The Academy had just awarded Sandra Bullock with Best Actress. As a result, she played another role that was far better than winning the award, but the Academy could not throw the Oscars on her head again.

Sandra Brock is also destined to become one of the most popular actresses in the Oscars.

Over the past decade, the actors and heroines of the Academy have been the result of a combination of multiple factors. An actor wants to win an Oscar, it must be exposed. Many judges in the academy are typical examples of voting with their feet like Duke. If they are not even familiar with the actors themselves, even if they are engaged in public relations, the effect can be imagined.

In the promotion of "Georgeism", Scarlett Johnson was specially highlighted. According to Duke's request, Warner Bros. and Pany Kellis also formulated extremely complete publicity plans.

It is September, Duke's shooting is approaching its end, and the new awards season in North America is about to begin. The Hollywood Reporter also conducted an exclusive interview with Scarlett.

Because the shooting time is quite tight, the interview was placed between shooting. Although Duke was busy with the crew's work, he still went over to watch it. After all, can the film achieve his goal? Scarlett Johnson's performance in "Gravity" is just the foundation, and self-promotion is an indispensable tool.

However, Duke just stood outside and listened, and did not have the intention to mix it up.

The whole process of this film from the script to the project establishment to Scarlett signing the actor contract is very simple, but you can't say that when facing the media. It's like a story. The more tortuous the more you go, the more you can attract people's attention.

In Hollywood, people with status like Duke and Scarlett Johnson have interviews carefully designed. From questions to answers, their PR managers don’t know how many times they have to formulate and communicate with the media.

To put it another way, not much is credible in this kind of interview.

For example, a reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" asked, "Someone said that the script of "Gravity" is very special, especially if you can't imagine how the director can shoot it. Do you have that strong impression of it?"

"In fact, what attracted me was not the script, but the story concept itself. To me, this script is like a good book, with a strong sense of picture and emotion coming to my face. I can't imagine how Duke would shoot it..."

The answer Scarlett said was half a Pacific Ocean away from the facts. "And I didn't want to take this script at the time, so I didn't care about it at all. Later, when I chatted with Duke, I directly refused, but he told me in an obscure way why he wanted to write this story so much. He said that this story is based on a very real personal experience. It is about a person's rebirth, and it is about how a person is attracted to life when he is desperate, giving up, and never want to survive."

"When he described it to me, I not only sighed secretly, wow!" Ska made an exaggerated expression, as if all this was true, "All the pictures have come to my mind..."

She shrugged again, "I don't know how he can achieve it on the technical level, but his words are so wonderful and magical. I know Duke very well. He is calm on the one hand and very devoted on the other hand. I realize that it is one of the most important opportunities in my life, and I can't say 'no' to it."

The reporter of "Hollywood Reporter" asked, "So when you promise to take the film, it is equivalent to handing yourself unconditionally to director Duke Rosenberg. No matter what strange shooting method you have tried?"

"Because Duke's shooting method was so special, he couldn't explain too much to me at any technical level."

Just now, Scarlett began to follow the answers formulated by Pany Kellis again, "The original plan was that we would shoot in a space shuttle in Nasa. This plane simulated a weightless effect of about 2 seconds by rising and falling rapidly. Most of this type of movies were filmed like this before. When I thought I was thrown up, I thought it was too crazy and I was quite scared, but I still recognized this shooting method."

She smiled at the reporter and said, "The time to leave the plane is getting closer. When the crew invented a device that simulates me flying, I realized that I was going to start physical training because it seemed that the device required a person's body to stretch like a gymnast. Physical training was hard, but it was very necessary. I met a female trainer who used to be a dancer and knew how to control his limbs."

The reporter asked again, "Do you and Director Duke Rosenberg often communicate with this role?"

"Duke and I talked the most about who the woman I played was, how to let the audience know her, what dialogue is needed, what is not needed, etc. This is a story that is completed visually. The actor does not need too much dialogue. Whenever I have a dilemma, I ask him to tell me how we should get into the core of this story. What do you want the audience to see? You have to use visual language to tell the story."

After talking in one go, Scarlett Johnson took a sip of water and continued, "Many actors don't understand the meaning of dialogue. They always think that the better the speech, the better the performance, but this movie is a completely different routine. The actors are a grand and small existence in special themes."

Finally, Scarlett stressed specifically, “My trust in Duke is based on his overall trust in my instinct and interest as an actor, and it is a very wonderful collaboration.” (To be continued.)
