One Hundred and Seventy-Nine-Boot
When he woke up early in the morning, Wayne opened the curtains of the hotel, casually put on two pieces of clothing and a jacket, ready to go out to see the surrounding environment, and also double-checked the location that the crew was planning to use.
This season in Toronto is much colder than in Los Angeles, which is not good news for filming. He just hopes that the filming plan will go smoothly. If it is delayed until it starts to snow, the subsequent filming work will be more difficult.
"Hi Wayne, good morning!"
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, a rebellious girl appeared in front of Wayne. Drew Barrymore was sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for him.
"Hi, good morning."
He turned his attention to Nina, who was sitting on the other side, who shrugged, a look of helplessness on her face.
"You have something to do with me so early?"
As he put on his sneakers, Wayne looked up at the girl. "Or, you should accompany Jayden and Qiaoson. You can have more contact together and have a couple of scenes in advance."
This little girl is not easy to mess with, and Wayne doesn't want to play adult games with her. The best between them can only be a working relationship.
"Do you want to go out for a look? Can I go with you?" Although the words she spoke were questions, the girl was an action person. She had already taken the initiative to follow Wayne, who had changed his shoes, and looked at his wrinkled face. He frowned, then curled his lips and said:
"Those kids were so childish, especially Jayden Lieberher, who played Bill! He was always looking at my breasts and butt secretly, but he couldn't even speak to me."
"Ms. Barrymore!" Wayne shook his head helplessly. This girl was so unscrupulous that she pointed at the other person's mouth. "If you want to follow me. Just shut your mouth."
Sergey took the initiative to follow him before going out. Nina obviously didn't want to go out if she didn't have to. This assistant lady can stay away from home for a day, as long as she is given a magazine or a TV.
Port Hope is about two hours away from Toronto. Compared with Toronto, the scenery here is much better. As a port city, it is a shopping mall for antique furniture, and also has a very famous sight, the salmon migration.
However, Wayne and the others were destined not to see this scenery. The season was not right at all. Sergey drove the crew's off-road vehicle and took Wayne and the others straight to the small town of Hope.
Because it is located between the picturesque Lake Ontario and the Northumbrian Mountains, it can be said that everything along the way is very beautiful. It is also nicknamed, "The Port of Hope, taking you back in time"!
This is considered the ancient capital of Ontario, and only 1 of the residents living here chose to shoot here. Mainly because there is an existing town, and it is very quiet here, and the shooting will hardly be disturbed by any media.
Compared with the scenery along the way, the small town of Hope looks much dilapidated. Luke Simmons is directing the props and scenery crew to modify the places needed for filming.
"Wayne." Drew Barrymore followed him without saying a word all the way. At this point she finally couldn't help it anymore. "How many months are we going to be filming here?"
"Yes, so you'd better have a good relationship with those young actors, otherwise it will be very difficult to have no friends in a few months." No matter what this girl is thinking, Wayne will not play house with her. game.
She is still a minor, so even if she really wants to do something, it is impossible, and there is a very important point, this girl does not look in line with his aesthetic!
The weather is already very cold now, which is something Wayne never considered. Unlike the adult actors, it would be more troublesome for these children to get sick due to filming summer scenes.
I have hid in Canada for filming because I don’t want to be troubled by children’s rights protection organizations.
"Luke, the school will stay as it is now. There is no need to make any changes. The scenery in the sewers and caves needs to be done quickly." After feeling the temperature, he continued: "It's getting cold here very quickly now. Let's finish filming quickly. Lens material to avoid any accidents.”
"No problem, leave it to me." Regarding the temperature, Luke Simmons was also relatively depressed. He didn't feel cold at all when he came to Kanjing, but within a month, the temperature here was completely different from that in Los Angeles.
Wayne nodded and continued to look around the town. A total of more than 100 crew members came this time, including 100 behind-the-scenes staff, and most of them are now helping here.
Before leaving, he called Zack Snyder over from the observation position and whispered: "You have to pay attention to the issue of contraband. This damn place is actually legal! It's much more open than Los Angeles. The main members of the crew The actors are all children, there must be no problems!"
"Wayne!" Zack Snyder looked embarrassed. "There are so many people who like to take a sip secretly, and it's impossible for us to control them."
"Then pray that it won't affect your work and don't let me find out." Wayne was very disgusted with this matter. "Otherwise I'll tell him to get lost!"
After saying that, he took Sergey back to the car and returned to the hotel.
Of course he knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable, and it was very common in Hollywood. He could pretend not to know if he secretly smoked leaf cigarettes, but if there were other things, or if he was attracted by these children, Wayne would definitely let him Get lost.
In fact, he didn't find it difficult to shoot this movie. It might be easier than "Get Out". After all, this is a youth horror movie. Basically, there is no need to worry about acting skills or To dig deep into the heart of some character.
The most urgent thing now is Warner Bros.’s review of “Batman.” Only after Warner Bros. approved the funding, he could quickly contact Industrial Light and Magic to start manufacturing the various special effects and props needed in advance.
This is the most time-consuming part, as well as the training of Batman actors. You must audition good actors as early as possible. The earlier you start training, the more time you will save during filming.
"What are you thinking about?" This rebellious girl who had been following him all the way could not find anyone to talk to him. Seeing that he was about to return to the hotel, he rolled his eyes and said, "I found a small bar nearby. Do you want to invite me?" Shall I go have a drink?"
While speaking, he puffed up his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and even reached out and lightly scratched the back of Wayne's hand.
"I'm not interested in minors! If I were you, I would put away these little thoughts and focus on the characters." Her methods may be more effective for little boys, but they are too immature for Wayne. .
"By the way, if you don't perform well after turning on the camera, even if Spielberg says hello to me, I will replace you!"
This sentence clearly touched a sore spot for Drew Barrymore. She pouted. "I have so few roles, and there is almost no chance of bad performance. Wayne, maybe you can modify the character setting. I will definitely thank you very much..."
Wayne was absolutely sure at this time that this girl had been completely colored by the big dye vat of Hollywood. This method is very common in other production groups, but it is usually used on producers, and it is only for innocuous roles.
I don’t know if this girl has experienced it or has seen others do it.
The car stopped in front of the hotel and he went straight back to his room. There was still a lot of things waiting for him about the shooting plan. Wayne just shook his head and smiled at what the girl said, pretending he had never heard of it.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Wayne entered the living room and started changing his shoes and taking off his coat, the assistant lady stared at him. She didn't even look at Sergey for being so big. Finally, she couldn't stand staring at him anymore and asked.
Nina first looked towards the door and said in a strange tone: "Where is that girl? Boss, I thought you would bring her back after going out for a while. This is not like your style."
"Nina Klein!"
Angered by her words, Wayne depressedly picked up the director's notebook and lit a cigarette. "Who do you think I am? I can't walk when a woman touches me, so I accept everything I ask?"
The assistant flipped through the magazine without any intention of angering the boss. "Is not it?"
While modifying the shooting plan based on the real scene he just saw, he said: "That girl is not even eighteen years old, Nina."
There was one thing he didn't say, that was, this kind of girl didn't fit Wayne's taste. Having lived here for more than 20 years, he is indeed deeply influenced by European and American aesthetics, but there are some things that he really can't accept.
For example, those like Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, which are completely in line with Eastern and Western aesthetics, are his dishes. Only if they can be distinctive on this basis can they arouse Wayne's interest.
Charlize Theron's appearance is actually a bit tough in his opinion, but it's still within the acceptable range. After all, she has a good figure, a slim waist, long legs and a tall height.
Drew Barrymore, forget it.
In the first few days after arriving in Canada, the crew was still urgently arranging props and scenery. Except for observing once a day, Wayne spent the rest of the time in the hotel working.
He has already drawn many concept drawings of Batman. These things were slowly designed based on the pictures in his mind. He is not worried about this movie. He mainly has to consider the beginning of the DC universe.
The first Batman was basically adapted from the beginning of the war, or it was called Batman Begins. Frank Miller hasn't drawn this comic yet, which leaves too much trouble.
Wayne still has many undecided considerations regarding the second installment of the Joker, which will depend on the market performance of the first installment and the acceptance of the movie fans.
A week after arriving in the town, the crew finally officially started filming amid all the commotion. The first scene was at the beginning of the film, where the protagonist Bill's brother meets the clown in heavy rain.
