Chapter 159 filming starts

According to the original arrangement, once the Christmas holiday in 1994 is over, the crew will fly directly to New York to start filming in early 1995. After two years, Roland, who has learned, experienced, and accumulated Standing straight in front of the camera.

But the world is unpredictable, even with Katherine Kennedy, a guy who has memorized the industrial production process backwards, as the trader, she still has to measure the schedule of each actor. Roland is indeed free for a long time, but Robert De Niro sees Martin -While taking over the project for Scorsese's sake, he was also shooting the old man's "Casino".

It was started on September 14, 1994 and closed on January 25, 1995. As the absolute protagonist, even with the help of Scorsese, the filming of De Niro's scenes should be finished first, and then The other party finished work, and it was around Christmas. For them, it was a very short adjustment to come back to film after a 20-day break, let alone De Niro and Pacino's "Heart" The filming will start at the end of February 1995. Even if Pacino doesn't mind the crew filming his own parts first, De Niro, who is the leading actor, has to go back before mid-March, leaving Roland and the others with the pre-shooting time. Forty days.

The old man Anthony Hopkins took Oliver Stone's "Nixon Biography" before. The overlapping shooting schedule is very short.

In this way, first going to New York to shoot scenes, filming literary dramas, and then after the two of them finished their work, they returned to Los Angeles to re-shoot their respective shots of the final battle, which became the only choice for the crew's schedule arrangement.

No way, who made these big names so popular? It's already pretty good to play for face, as for the pricking scene?

It’s strength to be able to make every movie well, but it’s not good to make even one movie—

Hollywood didn't give him the soil to play!

What's more, guys like Robert De Niro like to hang around in various crews. When filming "Crazy", he also took on "The Four Brothers", and while wandering in the two crews, he He ran to Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep's "Everything Begins from the Heart" to play a soy sauce - and in his words, this wandering will not affect his performance at all, Because he is always playing with guys he likes and is familiar with.

In this kind of situation where I know what you are going to fart as soon as you poke your butt, you can perform better than others with a soy sauce.

The point is, what I'm shooting now is a blockbuster special effects movie!

Isn’t it a matter of course to contribute a normal level of acting skills in a special effects blockbuster?

You watch "Independence Day" to study how Will Smith was successfully promoted to A+list with his superb acting skills?

Stop kidding! This kind of special effects blockbuster sells visual effects. If you really dig into the plot performance, what is the difference between "Independence Day" and "The Legend of Yan Shuangying"? It's just that Will Smith didn't let you see your own brains!

Moreover, even the screenwriter and director Roland Emmerich himself said that the source of inspiration for "Independence Day" is that few people in Hollywood have made a movie about aliens attacking the earth, and the name of the movie is similar to American Fourth of July. It's the same as Independence Day, and it's just a publicity stunt that Fox, who is in charge of publicizing, found during post-production.

Those guys who can't wait to expand the movie into a million-word essay, and talk about every detail and every arrangement, either have nothing to do after eating, or are the smart people that the film company likes to see the most. That proves that their announcement was extremely successful! Because this kind of series where I am smarter than the director is what they most want to see!

Because of this, they are well aware of the selling point of special effects films, and they have no intention of being restrained. Since the time is limited, they will shoot in groups, Robert De Niro and Anthony Hopkins, two old rivals. Stan Winston is responsible for all of them. This guy is not only a master of special effects, but also the truck driver’s assistant director. He helped the truck driver film "Terminator" and "Alien 2". The role of the year-old guy, the truck driver can rest assured.

As long as you follow the storyboard script, it will be difficult for these guys to let the audience play!

In this way, when Roland settled in Times Square Hilton Garden Inn, packed his luggage and rushed to the set, the only guys who were stared at by the truck driver to tell the show were Roland and Reese, "At the beginning of the story, Peter's feelings for Gwen, Just like what was stated in "This Killer Is Not So Cold": Leon likes Matilda, but he knows he can't be with her. Leon is a killer who walks in the dark, but Matilda is in the light, only because Her younger brother was killed, so she chose to fall into the darkness. From the beginning, the homeless Matilda only regarded Lyon as a harbor to rely on, and the belief in revenge was the opportunity for them to get along. Prejudice becomes possible..."

"...Similarly, Peter likes Gwen, but because of his introverted personality, he doesn't know how to speak because he can't find his own advantages. At the beginning, Gwen took care of Peter, a nerd, out of justice, until Peter became After Spider-Man, the opportunity for the two of them to interact with each other officially appeared..."

"So, for the first scene filmed today, you don't need to show that feeling of passionate love. Reese, you can just treat him as a male classmate in the class, and Roland, such a simple thing as mobilizing the emotion of a crush doesn't need I teach, right? We all understand, huh?"

At the end, the truck driver had already spread his right hand. As a left-hander, he made three fingers into points, and kept tapping and drawing on the palm of his hand. The expression of understanding made Roland roll his eyes—

Hey! This old man is also real!

A bad thing can be caught and talked about for a year!

What does it mean to mobilize the emotions of a crush? It's very simple for him!

What kind of person is he (↗)!

Do you need to have a secret love?

It's obviously an aboveboard glutton! These guys really have no eyesight at all!

Roland didn't want to talk too much with sand sculptures like truck drivers, so he nodded to answer.

Since the in-depth communication with the truck driver on the script of the trilogy that day, the role of Peter Parker is actually very simple for Roland-at least there will be no problems when filming the first part.

Peter Parker in the first part is just a kid who just grew up, or a pure dick. At the beginning, he was introverted and inferior, and he didn't talk badly. After gaining superpowers, his personality gradually became more cheerful. Wake up, of course, it's still far from talking, the so-called cheerfulness is not the escape in comics, but the peace of normal people.

In this way, the portrayal of the whole character couldn't be easier for Roland!

How does diaosi act?

In his previous life, wasn’t he just a dick?

This feeling, do you need to act?

How do you act if you are introverted and have low self-esteem without breaking your tongue?

Tom Hanks played Forrest Gump in front of him for half a year!

He only needs to follow the template of the other party, and take back the seriousness of Forrest Gump, and then replace it with the grievance when he did something wrong. To put it bluntly, at the beginning of the film, the classmates targeted the bullying Peter- Isn't Parker just a little sufferer!

And how to find that strange feeling that is incompatible with the ordinary world?

In his previous life, Disney rode on his face!

He has a deep understanding of the helplessness and grievances caused by facing a behemoth that is powerless to resist!

Just call it directly, even the performance process is filtered!

It was precisely because he knew that Roland had made thorough preparations, so after seeing the OK gesture made by this guy, the truck driver didn't hesitate any longer, waved his hands and started shooting. When the crisp sound of clapping boards spread throughout the car, Peter Parker boarded the school bus —

He was dressed in gray and wore shabby glasses, and his iconic blond hair was also dyed brown for the sake of the role. Not only that, but the handsome bangs also disappeared, and while he was panting slightly, he Still raising his right hand like a good boy, he said to the school bus driver apologetically, "Thank you, I'm sorry I'm late..."

However, before he could get a response from the school bus driver, a ball of paper suddenly appeared in the mirror and hit him on the forehead.

The sudden attack interrupted Peter Parker's words, and while he instinctively turned his head and gasped for breath, those eyes swaying left and right betrayed his mood at the moment.

Regardless of whether it is the intentional stroll of the school bus driver or the malicious attacks of the students on the bus, Peter Parker is used to these campus bullying incidents, and when he walked forward slowly, trying to find a seat to sit down, along the way The students all laughed mockingly, "Heis no more than an loser!"

Hearing these words, Peter Parker smiled awkwardly, turned his head, and did not speak.

But just as he turned his gaze to the empty seat on the left, the girl sitting on the inside suddenly moved her body and occupied the seat Peter Parker wanted, "Don't even think about it, Parker, I don't want to be with you, a loser. Sit together!"

Before he could ask, the smile that wanted to hide his embarrassment froze on his face in an instant, and he stopped for a second, while pursing his lips, the hesitation in his chest turned into the motivation to move on.

And in the process of his progress, his gaze was constantly wandering, the wandering gaze and the helplessness covering his whole body vividly reflected the feeling of incompatibility, but it was a pity that no matter how he moved, no matter who he passed by, sitting The guys in the seats on both sides all said no to him with practical actions.

Seeing that she might stand all the way to school, the girl sitting on the outside of the penultimate row suddenly picked up the schoolbag inside, moved her body, sat in, and gave up her seat.

The state of "I won't say much, you can do it yourself" made Peter Parker even more delighted.

But just as he was about to sit down and thank the blonde girl, a black foot suddenly stuck out, trying to trip Peter Parker who was walking forward.

According to the normal situation, one coherent shot here is considered complete.

The director would say 'Cutgood' or 'Nogood'.

But the truck driver filming, how could it end so simply?

Since he didn't call to stop, Peter Parker continued to move forward, but just when he touched the black feet and was about to fall to the ground 'naturally', what responded to him was a sharp brake.

Hearing a 'squeak', Peter Parker, who felt that the script was wrong, had no time to control his body, and the whole person immediately slammed forward.

Immediately followed by ‘Boom! ’ With a muffled sound, Peter Parker, who fell to the ground in front of him, grinned.

The next second, camera No. 2, who has been in charge of filming the next three roads, made an OK gesture.

After getting a positive reply, the truck driver shouted: "Cutgood!"

"Roland, are you okay?"

After reacting, Reese quickly got up and squeezed the camera away, wanting to see what happened to Roland.

While she was squatting down, the group performers sitting on the school bus all turned their eyes to Roland on the ground.

Not only that, some guys looked directly at the driver when their line of sight was blocked.

I want to know what the guy in charge of driving is doing.

Although they really wanted to ask the driver the reason for the sudden braking, Roland, who had fallen on his chest, was holding Reese's arm and getting up while propping up the seat beside him, gasping for air. On the face, it was obvious.

Really fell?

He is used to this kind of thing!

When filming "Terminator 2" last time, the truck driver frightened him with a fake corpse. This time, in order to make the fall real, wouldn't it be understandable to ask the driver to step on the brakes?

So, while rubbing his chest and standing up, he squeezed out a smile and said to Reese that it was all right. Then, naturally, he looked at the old man helplessly with a dark face, and asked, "How is it?"

"The effect is good!" The truck driver smiled very satisfied. Not only that, he also asked knowingly: "Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense, try throwing your chest once!" Roland didn't bother to talk to him.

"Oh! Don't be like this! Isn't everyone here to make a good show?" The truck driver patted the shoulders of the two photographers, motioned them to stand aside with the machine on their shoulders, bent down and picked up the glasses on the ground and handed them to Roland Finally, he laughed and put his arm on Roland's shoulders, "You haven't filmed well for two years, help you find the feeling of filming!"

"However, your acting just now was really good. You have a strong student air. I thought you couldn't act like a poor student, but now I see that Tom Hanks really taught you seriously! "

Hey!

Roland rolled his eyes.

Truck driver's mouth, deceitful ghost!

If he believed this guy, wouldn't he be kicked in the head by a donkey?

Since the summer of 1990, Roland and the truck driver have known each other for four and a half years. He knows that although this guy allows big names to use stand-ins to do those dangerous actions, he will not be polite in normal shooting—no He can do as much as he likes with the scenes of killing and maiming, but the most fundamental purpose is naturally to pursue the effect.

Although this kind of words sound a bit contradictory, Roland can understand it, and keep improving while ensuring safety!

Of course, Roland does not reject this method. It is understandable to pursue effects without losing his life. He is indeed afraid of death and disability, but these old men know it well.

No way, who made the old man cherish his body more than him!

Without his face, how could Fox happily call him the start-up capital?

Moreover, he is not as delicate as Robert Pattinson. He has to find a substitute to ride a motorcycle!

Note: ① "Everything Begins from the Heart" is "Marvin's Room". After it was released, De Niro was criticized for acting, and then he replied that I acted with familiar actors. Why is it called "Zhaxi"? He likes to play tricks very much, and he accepted "Marvin's Room" because it was a movie of Diane Keaton, Aunt May, and Xiao Li. Yes, Xiao Li is also an acquaintance of De Niro. "Life", they acted as 'father and son'. ②The script of "Independence Day" was written during the filming of "Shock Cosmos". The director himself said that it was purely a reporter who asked him if he would make a movie about aliens falling from the sky, and then the reporter and director had a big brain hole. The script came out, and the name was decided after the filming was finished, because the naming rights of "Independence Day" are in the hands of Time Warner. In order to get this name, they talked with Warner for two weeks. The so-called connotations are all Hollywood screenwriters The formula, this one cannot be offended, that one must be flattered, and then put it on the announcement.
