What the walls are to the eye in relative terms is useless for filming.
The camera, whether digital or film, only records the light reflected from a surface to the camera. You can check with a "spot" meter to read the reflected values.
Which is an interesting thing to get used to doing, to understand what's happening and perhaps to inform the capture process. That's a ton of what actually created the "filmic" look. DPs with reflected and spot meters checking and creating lighting.
After the fact is almost always more limited. I would expect that generally sampling the wall values and lifting them closer to the flooring would mangle much of the rest of the image.
Masking the walks to lift them could be done but would require tracking all the people moving across the image.
Now, in those images I found the floor so white it was distracting and visually overpowering. While the walls were easily separated from the talent and fading to simply being "there ".
So I would be more interested in making the flooring more like the walls for best visual effect.
Everyone's mileage always varies.
