Chapter 932: The Quiet Method

There was a dispute in the public opinion field surrounding Paul Walker's death.

But the matter will not end here, Disney will definitely squeeze out the last value of Paul Walker. And Paul Walker's family will not refuse, after all, Paul Walker's salary is not cheap.

After attending Paul Walker's funeral, Gilbert Jr. rushed back to Hungary to finish his last scene in "The Martian".

The crew had previously completed filming exterior scenes on the surface of Mars in Jordan. The filming process was extremely difficult and there were some accidents.

The story goes like this, when the crew was filming in Jordan, they encountered a group of horse bandits. Yes, you heard it right, horse bandits. I can't believe that we can still see horse bandits in the 21st century.

But it was not surprising to encounter anything there, so the crew was surrounded by this group of horse bandits.

Fortunately, the crew had professional security, strong firepower, and support from armed helicopters nearby. The bandits didn't bother to fight back, so they just left.

Although there was no exchange of fire, the crew members were still scared enough.

Matt Damon later said in an interview: "At that moment I thought I was going to see God. It was terrible."

Apart from this incident, the rest of the filming went very smoothly. The lead actor Matt Damon performed very well, but he often complained that it was lonely to act alone.

In order to let Matt Damon experience the feeling of loneliness, Gilbert Jr. set up cameras from multiple angles, and then all the staff left him alone to perform.

In addition, in order to fit the food shortage situation of Mark Watney in the film, Matt Damon often filmed on an empty stomach.

If it were just that it would be fine, but what's even more abominable is that at this time Naomi Watts would bring Elizabeth Olsen and others to eat delicious food and watch him act next to them.

Once, Matt Damon couldn't stand it anymore and asked Naomi Watts and the others: "Why are you eating in front of me?"

Naomi Watts acted innocently: "The director asked me to do this, so blame the director if you want to!"

"Damn it, I want to eat it too."

Matt Damon said, and was about to take a bite of the burger on the table. Then Gilbert Jr. came over, took the burger from Matt Damon, and took a bite.

“You have to keep that hunger and stay in good shape.”

"If you don't let me eat, I'll go crazy."

Little Gilbert's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's the feeling. You have to find this feeling."

Matt Damon didn't want to talk anymore. At that moment he felt that the whole world was a bad person.

In fact, looking at Gilbert Jr.'s audiovisual language in "The Martian", it can be summed up as calm and composed, which is completely different from Nolan's upcoming "Interstellar".

Gilbert Jr. went to see the internal version, and the audio-visual feast that Nolan and Hans Zimmer presented to the audience was visible to the naked eye.

The magnificent and majestic space scenes and the booming soundtrack are almost as loud as the theater can withstand.

Nolan uses this audio-visual technique to bring the audience an excellent audio-visual experience, and Gilbert Jr. thinks the effect is very good.

However, when Gilbert Jr. was filming "The Martian" himself, he used a more tangible and intangible, lighter approach.

Due to budget and script limitations, most of the film's scenes take place in a small Mars base and NASA's office, leaving little room for creativity.

To make it more realistic, Gilbert Jr. also placed dozens of GOpros at the Mars base and on the space suit worn by Matt Damon to capture Matt Damon's performance from all angles.

This documentary-style sense of reality is also one of the important experiences the film brings to the audience, and Matt Damon's performance is also more lifelike and comfortable.

In addition to these shooting techniques, during the post-production process, Gilbert Jr. also spent some time on the editing process.

The editing techniques used by Ridley Scott in The Martian are worth learning. Gilbert Jr. used a lot of positive and negative aspects in editing. For example, the director of NASA just announced the death of Mark Watney, and the camera turned to the vast expanse of Mars, where Mark Watney woke up in the sand of Mars.

For example, Mark Watney just discovered that potatoes were sprouting, which means that there is a second life on Mars besides him.

As a result, NASA held a funeral for him on Earth.

"The Martian" does not have the gorgeous transitions that many other films have; it is just a simple hard cut.

But the relationship between the previous and subsequent plots and the emotional twists quietly explain the emotions that should be present in this scene.

During the post-production process, Gilbert Jr. accepted an exclusive interview with "Film.com", a subsidiary of Banana Social, and talked about "The Martian" which is currently in production.

Gilbert Jr. said: "In fact, during the production process, I was inspired a lot by Alien and Blade Runner. In fact, I learned the style from director Ridley Scott."

The reporter asked, “We also know that Ridley Scott’s Edge of Tomorrow has also been completed and is in post-production.

It is said that you gave this film to him. Do you think Ridley Scott is an excellent director? "

This is a good thing because it was one of our own. If it were another reporter, he would probably ask the same question.

“Do you feel you’re not as good as Ridley Scott?”

If it was a question like this, no matter how Gilbert Jr. answered it would be taken out of context and then seized upon by the media to exaggerate the conflict between them.

But in fact, there is no conflict between the two.

Going back to the question above, Gilbert Jr. replied: "Ridley Scott is an excellent film director, especially in the field of science fiction, he is a master."

As we all know, Ridley Scott's failed films are almost all so-called epic blockbusters, but he rarely fails in science fiction films.

This is also why Gilbert Jr. handed "Edge of Tomorrow" to Ridley Scott.

On December 12, "Interstellar", directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and others, officially landed in theaters.

Gilbert Jr. was originally going to direct the film himself, but he really didn't have the schedule, so Christopher Nolan was finally put in charge of the project.

The film grossed $7279 million in its first weekend, which is a pretty good result for an original science fiction film.

Little Gilbert remembered that the North American box office of this movie in his previous life was not very high in the first week. It seemed that it was his influence that made the box office of this movie increase.

The film received good reviews, with Peter, a popular blogger, saying: "Time dilation occurs in the presence of a black hole, which is related to quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity.

This isn't a science fiction film like Star Wars, Star Trek or The Avengers, and anyone who goes in expecting that will be disappointed.

The film is more like Contact or Gravity because it recognizes science and does not use rules that are beyond human understanding.

Sexy Rebecca said: "If the audience wants to compare Interstellar with Gilbert Jr.'s Gravity, it is actually difficult to find similarities.

If "Gravity" is to let the audience witness how Anne Hathaway performs a space version of "Cast Away" and tries every means to return to Earth.

Interstellar, with the backdrop of the end of humanity and the touching love between a father and a daughter, takes the audience on an immersive experience of the beauty of entering the vast universe."

The Los Angeles Times commented: "In Interstellar, the audience looks at the fantasy world built by Nolan, just like Matthew McConaughey looking at his past self through the bookshelf in the film, hazy and unclear.

Whether you like it or not, every one of Nolan's films has a lot of room for interpretation, because compared to most directors, his films are more worth chewing and savoring." (End of this chapter)
