After tying up the rope, Roca kissed Julia's smooth thigh after being signaled by the show manager, raised her head and smiled, and Julia also lowered her head and smiled.

"OK!"

When the rope was tied, the magician had Julia hung up.

Rocca stood on the stage, looking at the audience and the performance on the stage, it felt like he was performing a magic show.

In order to perform this performance well, the crew has prepared for many days. If they are not ready, they will go directly to the stage to perform, and there will be constant interruptions in the middle, which will take a lot of time.

puff~

Actor Piper Perabo, who played Julia, was submerged in the water, splashing everywhere.

The scene of entering the water was completely real, and no substitute was used. Of course, to prevent accidents, the actor was pulled out when the curtain was lowered. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

When the curtain was raised again, Julia successfully escaped from the glass water tank, stood on the stage, and joined the magician in the curtain call. There was a round of applause and applause at the scene.

Rocca also applauded and cheered.

"cut!"

The main frame of the first scene was shot in half a day, and the remaining close-up shots, details, and scenes that do not require the participation of group actors can be re-shot afterwards.

"Rocca, get ready, you have two close-ups"

In the director's area, Director Nolan pointed and said.

"Ok!"

Roca put down the script and nodded.

"Rocca, you are doing very well on stage. I heard that you performed magic tricks in Broadway theaters before?"

Director Nolan laughed.

"Yes, I learned half a month in advance and learned a few simple little magic tricks"

Roca suddenly stretched out his palm, showed it in front of everyone, and quickly stretched it to the back of Director Nolan's head, then retracted his arm, and there was an extra silver coin in his hand.

"Wow~, you really know magic!"

"This move should be Borden's forte"

"Rocca, can you teach me? I like magic too."

The people around were amazed.

"Roka, I have also practiced this, but my fingers are too stiff, and I haven't learned it after a month of learning. How do you practice your fingers?"

Director Nolan asked while holding the silver coin.

Regarding hand speed, what can Roca say, "I often play tennis and table tennis, my wrists and fingers are very flexible, and I don't need much practice."

"Very good, this trick is very suitable for picking up girls"

Director Nolan said with a half-smile.

"..."

Being seen through at a glance, Roca was a little embarrassed.

"Nolan, do you really want to learn?"

Miss Emma Thomas came up and asked.

"..."

Director Nolan froze, and shouted,

"Attention all departments, take a 10-minute break and continue shooting!"

"understood!"

The crew of the crew responded loudly.

Rocca smiled and returned to the set to continue preparations.

416. On the Right Way to Squeeze Rocca

"Scene 3, 5 shot 1 times, action!"

The next day, the crew continued to shoot the second underwater escape performance in the theater.

There are many similarities between the two scenes, except for the different clothes of the actors and the different close-up shots, everything else is pretty much the same.

Yesterday the crew had filmed the previous scenes, and the rest was the scene where 'Julia' fell into the water tank and drowned.

Roca didn't wear a hat today. He combed his aristocratic parted hair and changed into a long windbreaker. He stood on the stage and watched Julia being hung up.

puff~

Falling into the water again, because there are two performances, the costumes of the performances are different, so you need to enter the water twice.

When the curtain covers the water tank, Mr. Michael Caine, who plays the prop man Carter, holds a pocket watch in one hand and an ax in the other.

Suddenly he rushed over and pulled down the curtain, and Julia drowned in the water tank. Rocca also hurried over and patted the water tank with panic on his face.

Bang bang bang!

Michael Kane swung an ax and struck the glass of the water tank vigorously, but the glass was too thick, and after many knocks, it did not break.

Seeing this scene, Rocca thought of previous film reviews. Some people said that at the end of the 19th century, there was no tempered glass, so how could it be impossible to break it with an axe?

In addition, Julia was still soaking in the water tank, so why did she have to smash the glass and open the lid of the water tank directly, which was more straightforward.

And Julia drowned for less than 2 minutes. After she got out of the broken tank, she could theoretically be rescued by artificial respiration and chest compressions. At that time, this first aid method had already appeared, but no one on stage did it. Angel just hugged Julia and cried.

When designing this plot, Rocca also wanted to solve these problems, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. He raised this problem to director Nolan and screenwriter Nolan.

The screenwriter Nolan said that he once read the biography of a magician who performed this magic trick when he was young. An accident happened at that time, and an assistant unfortunately drowned.

He also used these points to ask the magician why he didn't want to give first aid. The magician said that under the circumstances at that time, there were many accidents and negligence, so no rescue was successful.

Film and television performances are different from real life. In real life, many people drown and can be rescued through artificial respiration, but there are also many who have not been rescued.

As long as there is a one-in-a-million possibility, then there is no problem in shooting like this.
