Rebirth In Hollywood

The weather in Canyon National Park in late March was much better than the last time I came. When Ryan arrived at Horseshoe Canyon, Natalie and the crew had been here for more than half a month. They not only rented a helicopter Planes, shot a lot of landscape shots, and recruited several mountain bikers and extreme sports experts such as rock climbing, and completed some scenes such as rock climbing and mountain biking that Ryan could not do by himself.

In other words, most of the most difficult shots were shot.

"Hi, Nat."

"You finally came."

After getting out of the car, Ryan found Natalie behind the monitor.

The Long Island girl's brown curly hair was tied into a ponytail, with a baseball cap buttoned on it. She was wearing a simple and capable blue denim jacket. Although the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose covered half of her face, she could still see a little tiredness. .

"You rest first." Natalie looked at Ryan, then turned back to the monitor, "I don't have your role today."

With a nod, Ryan walked over to Natalie's assistant Anna, took the thermos, poured a cup of coffee, and walked back.

"thanks!"

Looking at the coffee handed in front of her, Natalie took it and put a hat on Ryan, "It's windy here, pay attention."

Canyon National Park is sunny, looking into the distance, the blue sky and the brown-red land are clearly separated, it is a completely charming scene, only one thing is not good, the wind here is a bit strong, often the film crew's location shooting belt to trouble.

"it's better now."

During the break, Natalie said to Ryan, who was sitting next to him, "Last week, there was a strong wind of level 7 here, and the crew's two small visors and three bundles of climbing ropes were blown. Where."

"As long as you don't get blown away." Ryan pinched her visibly pointed chin.

"If it's blown away by the wind." Natalie picked up his hand and threw it back, "there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"Did something happen?"

Listen to what Natalie means. There seems to be some trouble.

"The work is busy and the pressure is a bit high." Natalie obviously didn't want to talk about this, and changed the topic.

"How are things going with Scarlett?"

"It's basically done." Ryan told Natalie the general process.

The two chatted for a while, and the crew resumed filming. Ryan sat next to him, just quietly watching Natalie coordinate the entire crew without expressing any comments.

A professional mountain biker, riding a bicycle, appeared in front of the slides laid by the crew, and waited for the assistant director to call to start. On the rough rocky road, it performed a good show of dodging and swaying, and finally rushed down a rock and fell heavily on the thick cushion.

"It's over." Natalie made an 'ok' gesture to the front, "The seventy-eighth shot will be taken below."

The afternoon shoot was almost entirely of Alan Ruston riding a mountain bike, with two specially-appointed professional athletes taking turns, although one of the bikes had a flat tire in the middle, it came at dusk. Natalie announced that this part of the play was complete.

Because the situation in the canyon would become more complicated at night, and the trailer could not come in. After the crew finished work, they took more than ten off-road vehicles and returned to the nearest town of Arbens. Natalie and the others took a whole small motel there.

"I missed you, Ryan."

After getting into the car, Natalie raised the flap, took off her sunglasses and hat and hugged him. Ryan gave her a wet kiss, and said when the four lips pulled the silver thread apart. "Darling, you've been in the canyon too long, and your mouth is full of dirt."

"You don't like it?"

Natalie's eyes widened, she took the initiative to come over, and kissed Ryan again. The two kissed each other's bodies while kissing. If it wasn't for the wrong environment, they would have ripped off each other's clothes.

Of course, after arriving at the motel, the two went straight back to their room with dinner, and by the time they sat down to enjoy dinner, it was more than an hour later.

After bathing, the two sat at the only table in the room, enjoying reheated beef stew with potatoes.

"You should increase your nutrition, Nat."

Seeing that Natalie just put down the spoon after eating not much, Ryan couldn't help reminding, "You have lost a lot of weight during this time, you need to pay attention."

"I think it's fine now." Natalie picked up the silver pot and refilled the cups they had emptied. "Don't you think I'm in the right shape now?"

"You should increase your weight to a hundred pounds." Ryan raised his right hand and made a deliberate kneading gesture, "I could barely feel your chest just now."

"Ryan!" Natalie said with a black face and grinding her teeth, "I won't talk to you for ten seconds from now."

"Hey, Nate." Ryan ate the last piece of beef from the disc and raised his coffee cup, "Isn't that cruel?"

"Ten, nine, eight..." Natalie didn't answer him, and counted down earnestly, "Three, two, one!"

"Time's up!" Natalie glared at him one last time and walked to the big bed. "I'm going to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow to shoot."

The next day, the sun had just climbed to the horizon, and the crew had already set up a location outside Blue John Canyon. Three cameras were set up on the rails. When Natalie gave the order, they immediately shot some scenes. .

"Are you ready, Ryan?" Natalie looked over.

Ryan, dressed in standard outdoor sports attire, gave Natalie a thumbs up as he sorted out the cable.

Most of the scenes shot here weren't difficult, just a few shots of him walking through the canyon, and after he put on his headphones, Natalie called out.

In the triangle area surrounded by three huge rocks, Ryan was wearing headphones, moving with the front camera, keeping his spirits high enough, striding forward, and occasionally seeing his own reflection from the camera lens .

Just to his left and right, there are also cameras in the distance.

Following the camera, Ryan walked all the way to the entrance of the narrow Blue John Canyon, where Alan Ruston had an accident. The well-prepared hiker forgot to bring his worst cell phone. Have to keep fighting to survive.

After Alan Ruston was rescued, the park's management found his severed arm here and gave it back to him. After cremating the severed arm, Alan sprinkled ashes in Blue John Canyon.

The scene about Blue John Canyon was already done in the studio. Ryan was not interested in going in and exploring. After filming here for a period of time, the crew, accompanied by the park management, took a detour to the place where they had been. Under the rock wall that he passed, this is where Alan Ruston rappelled to survive.

Someone from the props team had been here for a long time. When Ryan and others walked there, they were arranging the smelly puddle that Alan Ruston had mentioned.

A large piece of thin silica gel with the exact same color as the ground fluttered in the low-lying area. Several staff members of the crew opened the large water bottle they carried with them and poured the turbid liquid on it. Some people added some realistic water to the water. The corpses of insects and small animals, from the appearance alone, this puddle is really scary.

Ryan sat on the side and let the makeup artist dress himself up as a disabled person who had just broken his arm. His face and lips were the focus of the makeup artist's care, not only to match the situation when shooting in the studio, Also in the close-up, it fully shows his severe dehydration state.

"It's beeswax."

The female makeup artist named Nancy reminded Ryan, "Never lick it with your tongue."

"Don't worry." Ryan nodded lightly.

After a full 40 minutes, the makeup work was not completed. Ryan walked to the puddle, looked at the disgusting color, and asked the person next to him, "What's in it?"

"Mainly utility colors and syrups."

The one who answered him was Natalie who came from the other side, and after the others left here in tacit understanding, she said to Ryan, "Honey, it's better to pass it once, otherwise we can only stay here today. "

"No problem." Ryan leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, we practiced many times last night."

During some activities last night, he used Natalie's chest as a puddle, and then threw himself on it several times in a thirsty way.

"We sleep in separate rooms tonight!" Natalie glared at him and walked back.

"The seventy-eighth scene, the sixteenth act." The assistant director's voice came, "Start now!"

He walked quickly to the puddle, and Ryan knelt in front of him, like a traveler who was dying of thirst in the desert, plunged into the puddle, like an animal trying to survive, drinking this dirty food desperately. of life-saving water.

With his only left hand, he desperately shoved water into his mouth. After taking a few sips, he remembered that he still had a water glass. After filling it up from the travel bag behind him, he poured it directly into his mouth and face. Physically and physically, the desire for survival overwhelmed everything at this time, and these dirty stagnant water was the hope of life.

Even if he was burping, he was still drinking and pouring until the whole person became ****.

Filling the water bottle again, throwing away all the burdens, carrying only life-saving water, hanging on the arm that was cut off by himself, he stood up without hesitation, staggered on the journey, and embarked on the journey of self-salvation. the way.

"cut!" Natalie's crisp voice sounded, "It's over!"

Ryan, who was on the move, knelt to the ground again, and after retching twice, he spat out a big mouthful of water. Although he consciously controlled his swallowing action just now, he still drank too much, that Burp is not pretended.

"Oh, God!"

Throwing the camera to the assistant, Natalie rushed over immediately, hugged Ryan's back, and hurriedly asked, "Ryan! Ryan!"

"It's okay." Ryan raised his hand and shook his finger, "Just drink too much, just spit it out!" (To be continued..) ()
