Chapter 1413 Completion Interlude

Just like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Juno" before it, what drama movies need most is acting skills.

Once the lead actor's acting skills are up to par, the process of making a movie becomes easier.

Of course, if the performances of the supporting characters can be outstanding and resonate with the protagonist, then this movie is likely to create a classic.

Because a movie, unless it's Tom Hanks' "Cast Away," in which he is the only one starring in the entire movie, is definitely not a one-man show.

The protagonist must be outstanding, and the supporting characters must also be outstanding. Being able to take on the role and performance of the protagonist is a test for the film itself.

"The Shawshank Redemption" has naturally become a classic thanks to the wonderful performances of Chow Yun-fat and Morgan Freeman.

"Juno" is very close to Sophie Marceau's own conditions. In addition, Yin Jun gave her a lot of tips and guidance. This youth-focused movie also appears to be very unique.

"Rain Man" is, to some extent, more difficult than the previous two films.

Because the protagonist it chooses to cut into is an autistic and a bit sluggish person, which not only requires the cooperation of acting skills, but also requires the atmosphere of the entire movie.

To be precise, even the supporting characters must be attractive enough to set off the protagonist Raymond.

When Yin Jun watched "Rain Man" in his previous life, he felt that Tom Cruise's acting skills were pretty good, and he showed all the habits, habits and struggles of his younger brother very well, otherwise he would not be able to set it off. Das hired Hoffman and let the latter win the Oscar.

God knows why later on, Tom Cruise could only play handsome and cool roles.

But there is one thing that Yin Jun is still very proud of.

That is, Tom Hanks' performance so far in the filming, in Yin Jun's opinion, surpasses that of the original Dasbin Hoffman.

Raymond, played by Dasdin Hoffman in the original version, always gave Yin Jun a feeling of being out of place. It's not that he didn't play the role well. In fact, Dasdin Hoffman played the role very well, but the aura was not deep enough. People's hearts.

The reason why Yin Jun chose Tom Hanks is because the Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks was originally a similar character to Raymond in "Rain Man", but in the end Forrest Gump's artistic achievements were far higher than Raymond.

Holding the idea that maybe Tom Hanks could perform better, Yin Jun finally gave up Das and booked Hoffman.

Now it seems that Yin Jun's choice was right.

Tom Hanks' version of Raymond, apart from autism and stupidity, the brotherhood that is inadvertently revealed and engraved in Rayman's bones makes the whole movie shine.

Whether it was the previous quarrel at the airport, the subsequent dispute at the casino, or when Raymond wanted to go on that wishful date, Tom Hanks never forgot his interaction with Johnny Depp.

Sometimes, a look that is originally expressionless can have a feeling of "I see there is thought in it" under the interpretation of Tom Hanks.

This feeling is so subtle that it would be impossible for an actor not immersed in the plot to express it.

As for the people watching, if you don’t feel it carefully, you won’t be able to feel it.

After a day of shooting, when Yin Jun stayed in the editing room, he felt that there were too many scenes that he couldn't bear to cut.

It was also in this environment that Yin Jun suddenly felt that even if he filmed "Forrest Gump" immediately after filming "Rain Man", Tom Hanks would be able to do it with ease.

But soon, Yin Jun suppressed this thought.

Forrest Gump and Raymond are not the same kind of people. His personality characteristics are completely different from Raymond.

Before Tom Hanks comes out of his role as Raymond, if he makes another "Forrest Gump", the portrayal of Forrest Gump will definitely not be very good.

If such a good movie and Tom Hanks' excellent acting skills are wasted because of this, it will be a huge loss.

Holding his nerve, Yin Jun filmed "Rain Man" step by step.

Because Johnny Depp spends time with Tom Hanks every day, seriously discussing and learning how to act, his progress is obvious to all.

For this reason, when filming the subsequent scenes, Yin Jun simply re-filmed some of the previous scenes that he felt were unsatisfactory, which made Johnny Depp extremely depressed.

But he was also a little happy at the same time.

Doesn't this prove that the director is satisfied with his progress?

Yin Jun doesn't know how long the original "Rain Man" took to be filmed.

But this version of him is not very fast.

Because firstly, Johnny Depp’s acting skills had to be polished, secondly, everyone needed to get into the mood, and thirdly, Yin Jun also shot some outdoor shots more carefully.

Therefore, almost throughout May, the crew was filming in various locations in the western United States.

In Los Angeles, in Nevada...

The entire crew followed Yin Jun around.

The crew members who worked with Yin Jun were all old people who had worked with "Shawshank Redemption" and "Juno" before, so they also knew some of Yin Jun's habits.

Hollywood's "get off work when the time comes" approach is simply not suitable for Yin Jun.

Anyone who has such an idea, Yin Jun will fire them immediately and replace them with new ones.

no way.

The boss is so awesome.

After a few more times, the crew members who were able to get used to it and followed Yin Jun all the time were willing to work overtime and shoot under difficult conditions.

For example, in "The Shawshank Redemption", the very touching scene where the protagonist escapes from the sewer in a stormy weather and then stands in the open space, facing the storm with open arms and embracing freedom, was actually shot, and It was late at night.

After that scene was filmed, many people got sick and had to rest for a few days before the crew could film normally.

However, Yin Jun did not treat them badly.

After the box office results of "Shawshank Redemption" and "Juno" came out, Yin Jun gave them big red envelopes, which was enough to make up for all their hard work.

In this way, over time, the crew has become accustomed to being called by the director to shoot at any time, no matter how difficult the environment is.

Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp joined Yin Jun's crew for the first time. Johnny Depp had never acted in a movie before, so he thought it was normal. Anyway, he was young and could withstand the hardships.

But Tom Hanks has shot many movies, and I can't help but be surprised when I see such an atmosphere.

Of course, Tom Hanks is also very dedicated. When he got up early and came home late, he didn't say a word.

The bad temper of those later big stars did not appear in him. Until he was 60 years old, he was still a commendable professional actor.

After the crew got along smoothly, the filming became faster and faster.

Charlie, who did not win the custody of Raymond, bid farewell to Raymond at the entrance of the train carriage and told him, "We will meet again soon." Raymond also replied seriously, "We will meet again soon."

Tom Hanks's eyes were a little dull, making his eyes slightly red, but he still looked like he was about to shed tears, which almost made Yin Jun almost burst into laughter.

No wonder he is known as the first person of the Mesozoic Era.

Such a performance, such a play, if you don't win an Oscar, it would be a waste!

At the same time, Johnny Depp, who played Charlie, felt the moment of sadness and separation after Raymond entered the car holding a small portable TV.

But Johnny Depp immediately took out his sunglasses and covered up.

When Yin Jun in his previous life watched the last few clips, he praised the director's handling very much.

Because Charlie is not such a sentimental person, if he cried during the filming, it would be inconsistent with his image in the entire drama.

But he covered it up with sunglasses, and then watched the train slowly leave, expressing his emotions with this invisible sadness.

This seems very clever, let people feel it for themselves instead of relying on tears to sensationalize.

This is a master-level expression technique.

So Yin Jun also asked Johnny Depp to do the same.

When the screen paused on Johnny Depp's face, Yin Jun took a deep breath and made a gesture towards Shi Shaoming.

"Click!"

Shi Shaoming shouted with a loudspeaker.

Then, it was Yin Jun who took over the speaker, looked at a group of actors and production staff who were looking at him, and said loudly, "I announce that the filming of "Rain Man" is completely over, and we are done!!"

"yeah……"

The crew cheered in unison.

Although this is not the first time that they have called it a day, and the filming of "Rain Man" was much less difficult than "The Shawshank Redemption", it is always a joy to complete every time the work is completed, right?

The most enthusiastic person was Johnny Depp. He took out a large bottle of champagne from nowhere. After opening it, he rushed towards Yin Jun while holding it. He excitedly sprinkled the champagne on Yin Jun's clothes and hair. .

Well……

The atmosphere at the scene was sudden.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one expected Johnny Depp to be so crazy.

Since Yin Jun's debut, no one has dared to be so presumptuous, whether it is a screenwriter or a director.

This is an Oscar-level director and the boss of a consortium! !

And this is not a sports ground, not a basketball court, a football field, or a rugby field!

There are basically no such rules in movie shooting locations, okay? ?

Johnny Depp was originally very excited, but when he saw everyone's expressions, he was also stunned.

He was not afraid, but embarrassed.

I feel like I did something inappropriate.

Yin Jun was shocked at first, but when the champagne was spilled on him, Yin Jun calmed down again.

Seeing Johnny Depp's embarrassed expression, Yin Jun stood up and patted Johnny Depp on the shoulder, "Johnny, thank you for your enthusiasm for me! But I think you should greet your teacher more! But not now, at night, everyone will not go home until they are drunk, okay?"

"good!"

Tom Hanks also came over and smoothed over the awkward scene.

He hugged Johnny Depp and said, "We just finished filming. Let's compete tonight to show you what a Dionysus is!"

"Bragging, I must be better than you!" Johnny Depp is also a smart man. Since his boss and teacher gave him the steps, he naturally followed them.

"Haha, how can you drink without me?" Shi Shaoming also came over, "I tell you, I am known as the God of Bacchus in Xiangjiang!"

"..."

Seeing them chatting lively, a group of staff and actors nearby finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as a talented director like Yin Jun doesn't get angry on the spot, he will definitely not settle the score afterwards.

They all secretly felt that Johnny Depp was lucky. If another director had been chosen, Johnny Depp would have completely offended people.

It would be really uneconomical to suddenly go from being a promising rising star to being thrown into hell like this! !
