Chapter 1099 Growth

The crew was all looking at the car driving away in the distance. Originally, today's filming was about the scenes of Forrest Gump and his mother when he was a child. Meryl Streep is indeed an old actor. Whether it is from her appearance or her posture, every move she makes is natural, and there is no need for director Chen Hao to do anything.

The filming of the scenes has been going smoothly for two days. As the director and the actual controller of the play, Chen Hao has also received some guests in the past two days, from senior executives of several major sports brands. Any carrier, as long as you have a large coverage, will have publicity effects and economic value. "Forrest Gump" has advertising placements in several places, which did not affect the plot and had great effects.

As a runner, Forrest Gump, and the feathers falling down in front of Forrest Gump at the beginning of the film, the first close-up is a pair of sneakers on his feet, which is much more conspicuous than a light gray suit.

What was just sent away was the advertising placement sponsorship that had been agreed upon, Nike sponsorship, 10 million US dollars. Chen Hao only promised at least one close-up shot, and there was no other promise. This was because from feathers to shoes to clothes to Forrest Gump's face at the end, this could form an image that was slightly different from that of a normal person. Otherwise, he would not have given up this close-up shot. If you can compromise for money in one place, then in the future, there will be more places in your entire film that compromise for money. By then, it seems that you have made back the money before the film was released, but what you have lost is the conscience of the industry and your own reputation.

Chen Hao, who has a solid foundation, would not do such a thing as self-destruction of the Great Wall. Making money is an endless thing. Now that he has made a lot of money, when the word "ideal" can be pulled out, he will be more willful, just to present to those who like and support him, a better work, a memory worth looking back.

"Let's go, let's go eat pizza."

Chen Hao carried the actor who played little Forrest Gump and let him sit on his shoulders.

Many people secretly observed him. A Chinese man was able to shoot mainstream movies recognized by American audiences, and completely forgot about his black hair and yellow skin. This success alone was unprecedented.

Some crews, when sponsorship came and the money arrived, would have some benefits. In the crew of "Forrest Gump", no one felt that the sponsorship would make them happy. The crew provided all the benefits that could be provided. The crew directly bought more than a dozen large floor fans, which were whirring and provided to the crew members who were uncomfortable in the hot autumn. It was not just for the actors and important crew members, but also for the group performance area. There were several large floor fans.

Chen Hao's crew had already become somewhat famous. The fact that his crew had super good benefits had long been known to everyone. Although the Hollywood circle was large, the speed of news transmission was very fast. With so many dozens of union members, it would not take a few days for the whole Hollywood to know what was going on with you, Chen Hao, and your crew.

Villas and farms are not a problem for Chen Hao. The staff in the early stage have already selected everything. Some scenes do not need him to be there in person. They can be finalized after seeing the video taken.

Once he decides, the staff will immediately implement it and make some changes according to his requirements. Before he and the crew arrive, all the preliminary work will be done.

When they come, they will start shooting. Meryl has been in contact with the Asian child for a few days. In order to better integrate into her identity, the two of them are almost inseparable for a few days. The expression and release of real emotions also let the purest child accept the mother in this film. In this way, all the problems that may be encountered during the shooting are solved. You don’t need to worry about the child not being able to act. The emotions between him and Meryl are real and do not need to be performed. Invisibly, what Chen Hao needs to adjust step by step is the child’s physical performance.

Of course, Chen Hao did not forget to give everyone a "power of power" that is exclusive to him. After the crew has been running for a few days, he did not forget to shoot his part, shooting the opening monologue, starting with feathers.

In one shot, when Forrest Gump's face appeared in the camera, all the people watching the monitor couldn't help but secretly applaud. Even those who don't understand acting at all can feel from such a shot that the man in the camera now is a person who looks a little different and is a little out of tune with the environment and the public. You will feel that his eyes are a little dull, and this little dullness is substituted into the state of being out of tune. As an audience, you will feel that this seems to be a person with some generalized cognitive impairment in behavior.

With that hairstyle, even if Chen Hao plays it, the audience will feel that this "Gan" seems to have some problems with his brain.

How to play a low-IQ idiot, and strictly distinguish the concept of "stupid". There are quite a few people on the scene who have not read the script, and have not even seen the scenes of little Forrest Gump in the past few days. Their perception is the most direct and will not be affected by any factors. I saw MOUSE's performance, what is my most intuitive feeling, then I will say it openly.

"The character played by MOUSE this time is a bit dumb."

"Dull, seems to have some mental problems."

"He must be a person who has communication difficulties with the current society."

Everyone chose to put it in a slightly more elegant way. What does it mean to have a communication barrier with today's society? Isn't that synonymous with 'mentally retarded' or 'idiot' or 'mentally ill' in mainstream cognition?

No matter how you identify Forrest Gump, Chen Hao's "powerful" power is full. All the actors put away their little thoughts. A man who can sweep the Oscars with his own film once again used his acting skills today. Let me tell everyone that in my crew, I have a good reputation and I am an expert. If you can’t meet my requirements, don’t have any thoughts of getting by.

In the first night scene a few days after filming started, Mrs. Gan faced the principal in order to allow her son to attend a normal public school. She accepted the subtext that the other party deliberately asked this question to Forrest's father, and welcomed the principal at home.

Little A-Gump was sitting outside the house. He heard the sounds in the room and saw the swaying light of the lamp. At this time, Chen Hao was still lucky that he did not choose actors from China. The language barrier was on the one hand, and some performances were indeed It needs to be integrated into the current environment. For children of this age in China, even if it is just a simple imitation, even if the parents agree for money and fame, the audience will scold you. This is not like a children's film with a first-person perspective. Seeing what's going on with the adults in the room, that way the audience knows it's the camera that's watching and not the real kids when it's being filmed.

After the principal came out and was asked a question, little Forrest directly imitated the sound coming from upstairs. In the American education system, this is not a big problem. Sometimes children of this age appear earlier. During adolescence, parents will take the initiative to talk to them about this matter.

The filming of this scene didn't go well, not because of Little Forrest Gump's imitation, but because this child is not too young, he is just small. In fact, the actor is already twelve years old. Only a twelve-year-old child can be expected to perform. You It is really difficult for a seven or eight-year-old child to perform. It had proved successful before. Chen Hao taught him step by step how to make some movements and how to express his eyes. He did well. But here, something went wrong. Little A-Gump didn't know what was going on upstairs. He just He recounted what had just happened, but the young actor knew what this scene meant, so his eyes were not as clean as those of Little Forrest Gump, and even his micro-expressions were a bit funny and he couldn't control his laughter. Feel.

Meryl Streep was also watching from behind the camera like Chen Hao. The actor playing the principal filmed this scene over and over again. After doing six or seven naughty shots, Chen Hao motioned for everyone to take a break. Everyone's eyes were on It's all on him. This is just a quick shot, and it's dark again. Just highlight the voice imitated by Little Forrest Gump. There's no need to take a close-up of facial expressions. It would be better if it could be taken. , but now there is a problem with the actor, and he is a child. Does the director still have to worry about this scene?

Qiu Yu comforted everyone. He knew that his boss was a little paranoid, and if he wanted to shoot well, he would definitely shoot well.

"Okay, let's do this scene again. If it doesn't work, just take the first point. We want the camera to zoom out and not take a close-up of Little Forrest Gump's face."

Qiu Yu's jaw almost dropped. Is this still his boss? He has never compromised during filming. What happened today? He would not compromise even on small details. The most common thing he said was that details determine success or failure. So what happened today?

Another one came, but the effect was still not very good. Chen Hao signaled everyone to stop working. With so many shots taken in the past, there was enough material without close-ups.

"If you have any questions, just ask them?" Chen Hao, who squinted his eyes, suddenly said in the car on the way back.

Qiu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to satisfy his curiosity: "Boss, you have never compromised before."

Chen Hao opened his eyes and stared at Qiu Yu. After two seconds, the other person's eyes began to dodge, and he did not dare to look at him. The strength and weakness between people seeped into every aspect of life.

"This is not a compromise, it's just that we no longer insist on the paranoia of being able to adapt but not willing to adapt. Even if this scene is shot in close-up, it may not bring better results. The previous persistence can send a signal to the crew - —You have to be extremely serious in my crew, even if you are just a child. It is a relief for everyone to stop insisting. I can’t let everyone’s strings collapse too tightly. It’s too much and it really seems like I can’t do it. Now, if it doesn’t affect the overall situation, it can’t be done.”
