1403 Field Shooting

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

In the script written by Damien Chazelle, a top music school called Shelford College is fictionalized, but it is actually the Juilliard School in real life, which is currently the top professional music school in North America and even the world. One of the lines, the golden signboard is the biggest business card.

In order to truly present the style of Shelford College, Damien tried to communicate with the Juilliard School, hoping that the crew could complete the field shooting work in the academy.

Unexpectedly but not surprisingly, when the Juilliard School learned that this was an independent work starring Renly Hall, the Juilliard School generously gave the green light and allowed the crew to move into the school building to complete all filming. At this time, it was summer vacation. Although some students stayed in the academy to study, most of them were still on vacation, which also provided convenient conditions for the filming of the crew.

But also because it was summer vacation, shooting at Lincoln Center became impossible. Summer is the season with the most intensive, lively and bustling performances. All the performance venues have been lined up for half a year or more. Even if Andre Hamilton personally appeared, he could not make an appointment to the venue.

Luckily, the Juilliard School Student Union was active in making arrangements.

The Alice-Tully Hall in Lincoln Center is the central venue of the Chamber Music Society and the New York Film Festival, and it is located inside the Juilliard School. It is used as a performance venue for students all year round. A small number of performances can be adjusted. , rehearsal sessions can also temporarily change the venue.

After a series of reschedulings, the "Crackling Drummers" crew got three days of filming -- not including the evening. This has been very, very rare for the crew, and all problems have been solved.

For Damien, it was unimaginable. Just relying on a name, just like a business card, can solve most problems unimpeded, even without spending too much time and energy, and the cost of money has been reduced to an acceptable range.

What's more, he was worried that the Juilliard School of Music would refuse, because the story in "The Bursting Drummer" distorted the image of jazz and teacher into a dark appearance, the drummer Peter Urs, who was about to voice behind the scenes of Renly. King was quite critical of Damien's script, not to mention that Shelford College is an insinuation of the real Juilliard School?

But, they didn't. Not only not, but also open the door.

It's no wonder that big-name actors are still so sought after in the indie film scene, even if their target market isn't the box office at all. The integration of resources, the expansion of contacts, and the authority of fame, all of which are added values ​​that cannot be measured by money. Even art must exist on the basis of life.

Rooney, Paul, and Ryan walked into the Juilliard School of Music, which is a mix of postmodernist and Victorian styles. There are almost no traces of a century of time, and it is full of modern and contemporary simplicity and neatness. , the texture that belongs to the city of New York can be captured in every corner.

But the amazing thing is that the bustling and noisy Manhattan seems to be completely isolated from the outside, as if only one door is needed to enter and exit, one can enter a completely different world. There is an indescribable classical charm flowing in the air, elegant and elegant. Profound, peaceful and far-reaching, it is impossible to describe accurately, but it makes people feel comfortable.

Maybe it's the trumpet keychain hanging above the student locker, maybe the empty rehearsal room full of instruments, maybe the sound of the violin in the corner upstairs, maybe the bulletin board about the band's rehearsal vs. The information of the performance... The details in all aspects and corners, as if you can really feel the musical symbols flowing slowly under your feet.

During the walk, I involuntarily held my breath and tried my best to quiet myself, lest my noise and movement would destroy this unique tranquility.

In the shed and reality, after all, are still different.

Even if the scene built in the studio is real, even if it is copied from a model in a one-to-one ratio, it still cannot replace reality. The historical precipitation cannot be imitated, and the film effect presented naturally produces deviations.

Some directors always insist on shooting on the spot, that's the reason.

Despite the lack of guidance, after groping for a while, the three managed to find the location of the crew. Because the whole crew is moving, from one large rehearsal room to another separate practice room. Even a sparrow-sized crew still has nearly 30 staff members, and the mighty mobile team is really hard to ignore.

"Hey, Rooney!"

Damien saw the three people approaching at a glance, and took the initiative to say hello. The shy smile was a little restrained, but it was still cheerful and friendly. Then his eyes fell on the two people next to him, and he introduced himself kindly, " Good afternoon, my name is Damien."

"Ryan."

"Paul."

Damien pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of pleasure, "I know, of course I know. I've seen your work, I mean, the work of the two of you."

"Thank you." Ryan nodded his head in a friendly manner, and jokingly said, "If there is a chance in the future, I hope to cooperate. Although I have not watched your work for the time being, I believe that Renly's choice is You can never go wrong, since he has cooperated with you, it means that I have got the pass."

Ryan missed the conversation between Rooney and Paul just now, so he didn't understand the situation, and the words at this time were obvious.

Much easier.

Rooney was still a little worried after all, and asked vaguely, "Is everything going well for the shooting?"

Damien didn't think much, nodded with a smile, "Going well, everything is going very well. Renly's performance is really good, I thought 'Buried Alive' and 'Transcendence' were shocking enough, but only when I watched it live, I realized, What is a real performance." As he spoke, Damien also rubbed his hands excitedly.

"We just shot a big scene, and the chemistry was amazing, it made the acting and filming a torture, I mean, in the right way, showing the essence of the whole scene, people It's a pain, but after it's a joy and a joy. Renly is such a rare actor, isn't he?"

Damien's excitement and excitement are clearly presented through language, and people can't help but have expectations for that scene, such as Ryan; but at the same time, it can be felt, Damien did not notice any abnormality , as if everything was normal, which reminded Rooney of the state of Renly just now, and the sense of unease surged again faintly.

Paul sensed Rooney's absent-mindedness and anxiety. When they were walking forward, he took the initiative to step down, came to Rooney's side, and comforted in a low voice, "Don't worry, Renly knows what he's doing."

Rooney raised her head, met Paul's gaze, showed a small smile, and then nodded slightly in agreement, "Then let's go over and see what Renly is doing. Damien's description is true. It's full of expectations, and I'm already starting to envy those audiences who will see this work in theaters in the future."

The little joke made Paul chuckle too.

The group of people quickly came to the separate practice room, but everyone was bustlingly blocked outside the door, because the space of the practice room was really too narrow.

The whole room is about six meters long and four meters wide, and the complete area is less than 24 square meters. At this time, a Simmons mattress, a set of drum sets, two cameras, two lights, etc. have already been placed. Wait, there are three other staff members and one Renly. The limited space is so full that you can't even find a place to stay.

At this time, the staff is intensively adjusting the position of the camera and the angle of the lights.

Renly was lying on top of Simmons, his upper body was lying flat on the mattress, and his lower body was resting on the wall. The whole person presented an upside-down lying on his back; it could be noticed that his ears were stuffed Wearing headphones, listening to music, slowly and slowly immersed in the world of music.

In the next scene, the storyline is connected with the scene just now.

After being devastated and humiliated by Fletcher, Andrew came to his senses. He was definitely not the type to give up easily, let alone the type to surrender, so he decided to break through and stand up.

He simply moved his dormitory into the practice room—mattresses, toiletries, sheet music, albums, that's all, and he doesn't plan to leave until he's actually practised the "Whipping" track. .

This ruthlessness broke out for the first time, and completed an important pavement for the succession and transformation of the subsequent stories; at the same time, this ruthlessness was different from Renly, who had put himself in the coffin and trapped himself in the light box. How similar.

Now Renly is listening to Buddy Ritchie. Not to serve the plot, but to prepare for the performance, he needs to really capture the rhythm and inspiration of Buddy Ritchie's "whiplash" style. Only by truly understanding the difficulty of the track can he truly present the pain and pain in the performance process. struggle.

Seeing this, Ryan was about to go in and say hello. Unexpectedly, Paul and Rooney both stopped, which shocked Ryan.

For Ryan, who had never worked with Renly, he was completely unable to understand the current situation. Paul explained, "Renly needs a little time to think about his role before committing to the actual shooting." Talking about the experience during the shooting of "Fast and Furious 5" and "Transcendence".

Involuntarily, Ryan remembered the comment from The New York Times: Is he a genius in the spotlight, or a lunatic behind the scenes?
