The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 398: Hands off the shopkeeper
"Just now I was worried that you were nervous, but now it seems that I'm just being pretentious."

Tom Hanks holds a toothpick in his mouth, with a slight smile on his face that represents traditional America. There is no winking or beaming, and he has returned to his usual appearance. This is what people are familiar with.

Anson was slightly startled.

Phew.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I have heard that Mr. Hanks likes to play pranks and jokes in private. He is definitely not like Forrest Gump. I am still thinking about it. It is difficult to imagine the image of Tom Hanks as a villain. Now I finally Understand, no wonder people say Hollywood shouldn’t be trusted.”

In the first half, Tom couldn't help but smile and nod his head slightly with satisfaction. In fact, those who are familiar with Tom know that this serious actor really likes to play pranks in private, which is very different from the image in people's minds.

But the second half?
Tom choked on his own saliva, "The conclusion shouldn't be here, right? This sharp turn is already at the level of drifting, so aren't you worried about weight loss?"

Anson's face was calm.

Tom laughed dumbly, "Well, I shot myself in the foot."

call.

Let out a small breath.

"I just want to say, there is no need to be nervous, just be yourself."

"When Steven chose you to play this role, it was because he believed that you were the most suitable choice. You have done an outstanding job in New York, and you have done the same now. There is no need to change, just continue to stick to yourself."

"But obviously I made myself look like a arrogant narcissist."

It was the same in New York before, Tom didn't appear on set but still gave some small help to the performance and filming; now it's the same in Los Angeles, Tom is doing his best to make the filming smooth.

If it were normal, Anson would have made a few jokes along with Tom's words and then admitted his nervousness; but now that he has entered the role, it is naturally different, and little Frank will not respond like this.

Anson raised his chin slightly, "Like every actor."

Tom opened his mouth, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, the true qualities of an actor."

After thinking about it, laughter burst out again, "Haha, so are you ready?"

Anson let out a long breath, "Can you give me some time to prepare?"

Tom, "Of course."

Anson gestured behind him, "I need to go to the bathroom to vomit first."

After saying that, Anson turned and walked towards the trailer, preparing to change his costume for the performance.

One second, two seconds——

Hilarious.

Tom turned his head and looked to the side, "Did that kid just fuck me? Haha."

Obviously, what little Frank needs is this kind of aura and courage.

Anson, has figured out some tricks.

When Steven arrived at the set, all the preparations had been completed. Steven and Tom chatted for a few words and then prepared to start shooting.

Seeing that Steven was about to go to the monitor, Tom was a little surprised, "Steven, aren't you going to have a word with Anson?"

Steven, "Say what?"

Tom was stunned, looked at Steven's matter-of-fact expression, and laughed dumbly, "It's okay, it's okay."

In fact, Steven understands, "Tom, I told you, I won't care after the filming starts. I completely believe in the actor's ability. Back then, you personally certified Anson, and now it's time for you to face your own choice. So, I'm not worried, I'm not worried at all." After saying that, Steven turned around and left without hesitation, leaving Tom standing there with a look of astonishment on his face. He waited for a while before reacting, "Hey, Director? You’re sure this is your movie, right?”

This is complaining about Steven being the hands-off shopkeeper.

Steven ignored Tom at all and walked towards the monitor without stopping. His steps were light and although he didn't say anything, he also showed a faint expectation.

In this scene, FBI agent Carl arrives at the motel with two other agents. They receive a tip that there is an abnormality in a check here, which is likely to be Frank Abagnale Jr.

Generally speaking, white-collar cases such as bank fraud cases do not require attendance, and all work is completed in the office, so Carl asked for support, but the result was that the superiors were careless and casually sent two people to assist without paying any attention to it. This made Karl very dissatisfied.

After arriving at the scene, Karl asked the other two people to guard the escape exit and went to the second floor alone to arrest the suspect.

What was filmed next was the first confrontation between Carl and Frank Jr.

From a plot point of view, this scene is coherent, but from a shooting point of view, it requires switching to different angles, different camera positions, and different tracks to fully shoot, so the core team headed by Steven is all on the first floor, and the scenes on the second floor are Corridors and rooms were all cleared to ensure the filming could proceed smoothly.

To this end, Steven conceived several shooting plans before finally making the decision——

They plan to first use a follow-up shooting perspective to film the entire storyline, focusing on showing the tension between Carl and Frank Jr., trying to maximize the charm of the actors, hiding the camera's perspective, and immersing the audience in " In the excitement of cat and mouse.

Then, according to the presented frame, shots from different camera positions such as close-ups and close-ups are purposefully filled in to create as much immersion as possible and make the atmosphere complete.

Steven is still Steven, taking control like a craftsman.

After experiencing the collaboration between directors Gary Marshall and Sam Raimi, and then referring to Steven's working model, it is indeed completely different.

One after another, all preparations were completed, and the team switched from New York to Los Angeles. After a short adjustment, the crew showed a professional attitude and entered the shooting meticulously. The burden still fell on the actors——

Can Tom and Anson collide and create sparks?
Looking back, Anson's performance in New York really brought a lot of surprises. Whether it was his cooperation with Christopher and Natalie, two veteran actors, or his explosive power in the filming of the final scene, it was indeed eye-catching. It far exceeded expectations, and expectations could not help but rise.

So, what about this time?

"Card!"

This was the fourth NG, and the shooting progress was slightly frustrated.

It’s not that it’s bad, it’s mainly about the details——

The two actors, Anson and Tom, still need to find a tacit understanding, and they are not on the right track; and the NG just now was even more dumbfounding.

The photographer needs to take handheld photography, but what is emphasized here is not the realism of the documentary, but the emphasis on the movement of the camera closely following the two characters. This places strict requirements on the photographer, not only to ensure the stability of the lens, but also to ensure the shooting route. One hundred percent accurate.

No deviation allowed.

The photographer is equipped with an assistant, who grabs the photographer's waist with both hands and controls the photographer's movement and positioning to keep in line with the shooting track.

The mistake occurred right here. The photographer's moving route was slightly off track, so that the camera and Anson were looking at each other face to face——

Anson looked directly into the camera, unintentionally.

then.

"Card."

NG is here.

The whole audience was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. It was the same on the first and second floors. Even the extras couldn't control their laughter.
