Chapter 137 Shooting Daily (1)
"Lehman's fourth film, a crime genre."
After the final makeup photo shoot, the latest issue of the "Los Angeles Times" entertainment edition started a campaign with Paramount Pictures.
Of course, there are also many other media and magazines with a large circulation in other regions who have also received "benefits" and helped to publish news. Soon, most people who are more concerned about movie dynamics, or fans and fans of actors and directors also know about it. this matter.
The "Los Angeles Times" wrote in the report: "I'm looking forward to what kind of sparks the collision of Tom Cruise and Heath Ledger, Nicolas Cage and other actors will produce."
There is also a photo next to it, which is the scene of several people confronting each other in the conference room.
The eyes of several people are very sharp, and with the various expressions of other characters, people are imaginative.
It's a pity that this film did not reveal more information, and Lehmann still pays great attention to confidentiality.
He also didn't want to get too many people's attention when shooting, especially those pervasive reporters or paparazzi. If the confidentiality work is not good, the crew will not have a peaceful life.
......
"The scene was quiet, the scene was cleared, everyone went back to their respective jobs, and checked the shooting equipment again."
"Attention to all units, the actors are ready to enter the venue, and the makeup and sets are on standby."
Wen Ziren held the loudspeaker and instructed carefully.
Lyman on the side sat comfortably behind the director's monitor, quite comfortable.
There are so many benefits of having an assistant director, and some complicated chores can be handed over to him.
As for Wen Ziren, he didn't complain, he was a hard-working and down-to-earth person, and Laiman might be a little less hard-working.
"Lyman, they are all ready, start?"
After a while, Wen Ziren, who had finished the inspection, came to Laiman's side and asked.
Since he signed the contract as an assistant director, he has been happy every day - he has a salary, and he can put what he has learned to use, which is really fun.
"Well, let's get started."
"Seat 1 is OK."
"No. 2 is OK."
"The lights are fine."
"Radio OK."
"——"
This is the first scene filmed today. Because of the publicity, the previously built conference room scene was not dismantled. After all, the time yesterday was too short to complete all the scenes in the scene, so the filming started the next day. It also continues the way of yesterday.
"Our big family can't be without an owner for a day. Mr. Robert left unexpectedly." Heath Ledger sat in his seat and spoke first.
The word "accident" was pronounced heavily by him, and he looked at the third master with a playful expression.
In Los Angeles in the early 20th century, Robert Johnson established the "Golden Gate Party", a gangster organization. By constantly nibbling away other gang forces or winning over divisions, he soon became the true underground emperor in Los Angeles.
Police by day, theirs by night.
But everyone has a day when they grow old, and the heroes of the past are less and less able to take on too many heavy responsibilities, and the entire "Golden Gate Party" has gradually evolved into an era of several heads of families in charge of different businesses.
And now,
This balance is broken.
"So we need to re-select a speaker." Heath Ledger retracted his gaze, placed his hands on the table with a calm tone, "Everyone, what do you think?"
The "Golden Gate Party" is not so much a gang, but a business group centered on the power of the gang. They are in charge of many resources on the bright side of Los Angeles. Several high-level executives are used to such a comfortable life, how can they refute anything? .
Everyone followed the meaning of the second master and said.
"I agree with the election."
"Yes, we need a new talker."
"..."
Wen Ziren stood behind the monitor, looking at the footage framed by several cameras, and couldn't help but look at Laiman's focused face next to him.
The camera position represents the viewpoint and the scene that the lens wants to present, and it can also express a certain intention through the transformation of several positions.
At this moment, under the coverage of the three cameras, the panorama, close-up and close-up shots are constantly switched and used by Lehmann.
The sunlight outside poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the conference room, everyone laughed and laughed.
Vicious smile, hypocritical smile, embarrassed smile, hideous smile...
A picture of all kinds of life slowly unfolds.
Heath Ledger slowly got up from his seat, facing the glass window, the halo on his face dissipated quickly.
The left half of his face is clearly visible, but the other half of his face seems to be hidden in the shadows.
"Heh." His brows wrinkled slightly, his eyes fixed on his feet, but a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Cunning and ferocious characters come to the fore.
Just like the internal police evaluation of him, a hungry wolf, very aggressive.
"Let's go." The younger brothers immediately followed, and when they passed by the seat where the third master was sitting, they paused for a while before leaving quickly.
Several high-level executives also said their goodbyes, and Nicolas Cage sat in his seat, rubbing his hair irritably.
Because he knew that the days to come would not be so peaceful.
He didn't pay attention to Tom Cruise sitting next to him, but in the camera, Tom's mouth was slightly raised, but his eyes kept on the table. Relaxed and a little bit more mindful.
"Pass."
Lyman shouted, and the scene was over.
"Everyone did a great job," he complimented.
Jason Statham was still uneasy, for fear that he would have to start all over again with another mistake. Fortunately, the director was satisfied, and there was an extra compliment.
This scene was difficult to shoot, but fortunately, although it was a bit bumpy, it was successfully completed in the end.
Especially Tom Cruise also played very well.
Well acted.
Although in this scene, the main focus of the camera is the confrontation between the two masters.
The shots about him are just a few glances and a few steps, not even a line.
But as simple as that, it can be difficult.
Tom Cruise has no shortage of foundations. After all, he has acted for so many years, and he has a lot of acting experience no matter how bad it is.
However, he is a little unreliable. When he always likes to laugh, the corners of his eyes soften, giving people a kind and eye-catching feeling.
It is estimated that there are too many handsome and cool characters, which are subconscious little actions.
Just like the sect master Huang of later generations, that evil and charming smile appeared on Yang Guo's body with such hot eyes.
It's not that this detail is bad, it's just that it's useless in the right place.
Tom Cruise is also a person who has nothing to say about his professionalism. In addition to being handsome, his success has a lot to do with his dedication.
The most important thing is that he doesn't play big, which is a good point.
You can hear what you say.
What actors are most afraid of is not awkward acting, but people who know they are embarrassed and still refuse to change.
After listening to Lyman's reminder, he consciously restrained these small habits that he had cultivated for a long time.
That would be nice.
"Hurry up and re-arrange the venue."
As Lehman's hurried voice sounded, everyone began to get busy again.
Thomas instructed the assistant to move the camera down, and he went to the side to hold the second camera and set it up according to the shooting plan. Only two cameras were needed on the scene.
The actors took advantage of this time to go to the dressing room one after another, to touch up makeup, remove makeup, remove makeup, and change clothes.
After Nicholas Cage figured it out, he sat next to Lyman with a folding chair.
"Lyman, the assistant director you're looking for is really hardworking." He said with a little emotion.
I saw Wen Ziren not far away, sometimes helping to dismantle the scene, sometimes helping to carry props, and sometimes communicating with the lighting and camera teams...
In short, except when shooting, he is always busy.
"Young man, full of energy." Of course he was very satisfied with this assistant director.
Being so conscious is still very rewarding.
Most of the entire crew is a team that Laiman is very familiar with. After the filming in the past two days, they also became close to Wen Ziren.
Willing to do things, able to do things, will shine wherever you go.
Thinking of this, Laiman glanced at Wen Ziren who was adjusting the scene and smiled.
For the sake of some "cultivated" bad habit in his heart, when he first saw Wen Ziren, he intended to test him.
Even if the work does not meet the standard, it is estimated that he will be given the title of assistant director and let him learn and hone with the crew.
But Wen Ziren, who can make his first directorial debut, really has two brushes. Not to mention the solid foundation, the concept of shooting already has the atmosphere of a warm horror movie.
The director's line is very particular about aura and aesthetics.
Obviously, Wen Ziren is a gifted man.
And talented and willing to endure hardship, that's incredible, it makes no sense for such a person to be unsuccessful.
Mann Studio has not been on the right track, isn't it just because there are no hands and no talents.
In the past, he thought that when he made a movie, it would be convenient to make it, but he didn't want to make the studio bigger.
Now... let it be.
Whether it's for the sake of the studio in the future, or to satisfy his sense of accomplishment in mining talents, Lehman is quite willing to help Wen Ziren.
"Lyman, everything is done."
"Well, you can rest for a while."
Lehman got up and saw that the original conference room scene had completely changed its appearance, becoming an office - the office of the second master.
In the next scene, Heath Ledger threatened, wooed, and intimidated the top leaders of other forces in the gang, wanting them to support him in his position.
After all, he is the orthodox of the gang - when the "Golden Gate Party" was first established, he was in the gang, and his qualifications were a lot higher than that of the third master.
"People die like lights go out, but life still has to go on. That's why." Heath Ledger sat on the sofa and smiled kindly, "Several of them are gang officers. Who will do it?"
Looking around for a week, no one spoke, all were smiling.
At this juncture, dare to stand in line easily. Several of them are old fritters, and naturally they are not willing.
Heath Ledger was suddenly furious, still smiling, but sneering, and slapped the officer closest to him - "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and was knocked to the ground.
This is a real fight, because it is necessary to strive for authenticity and use close-up shots, which can only suffer from Samuel Jackson.
"Pass."
