76 final production

Chu Yuan's unique Hong Kong-style fast-paced shooting made the actors and other members of the film crew complain endlessly. How could they adapt to this devil-like shooting technique?Jane Fonda was so tired that her whole body was sore, and her thigh seemed to be cramp.She almost cried and said to Chu Yuan: "Director, let's shoot again tomorrow, I really can't take it anymore."

Chu Yuan shook his head and said: "Jane, I have shot dozens of movies in Hong Kong and met hundreds of actors, but I found that you are the best! Your strength surprised me! Grit your teeth and persevere, or you will not be able to If we complete the filming task, then all our efforts will be in vain.”

"No! You are a devil director! Have you counted how many kilometers I have run today? Oh, what a joke! You must think I am a car that never gets tired?" Jane Fonda almost asked Chu Yuan roared.

Chu Yuan still said calmly: "I have calculated, poor Jane, today you have run a total of 15500 meters, if you run slowly, you must be fine, but you must run with all your strength every time, of course it feels very hard So I think you are the best actor, I am touched by your professionalism..."

"Enough! Enough! You devil!" Jane Fonda roared angrily, "I swear, I swear, I will never make a movie about you again!"

Chu Yuan seemed to have a thick skin, and he still said slowly: "It's really unfortunate, I want you to be the heroine in the next play, and this heroine can only be played by you. Oscar nomination for Best Actress, if you're lucky...."

"Cheat a ghost, you devil!" She gradually put away her anger, her eyes full of longing.As an actor, a relatively young actor, how attractive is the Oscar?

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "This movie is called "Flower Street Murder King". You definitely don't have to work as hard as shooting Lola, but you need to be delicate in your emotions and bold in your words, because you are going to play a very beautiful senior application. Call girl, the story goes something like this..."

When Tan Jiabao told him the story of "Flower Street Murder King" more than a month ago, he carefully memorized it, and seized the time to quickly create the script.After being modified by Tan Jiabao, the script was considered a success.Tan Jiabao promised him that he would let him shoot the movie at the right time.

"Happiness is like grapes before a donkey." Chu Yuan knew this well, so poor Jane Fonda became a donkey.He sighed and said: "Since you don't want to make my movie again, hey, I have to find another way. There are not many good actresses in Hollywood. Oh, Katharine Hepburn is very popular recently, although she A little older, but she's also a very malleable actress, and..."

Jane * Fonda stood up as if fully charged and said: "I solemnly take back my vow just now! Huh, in Hollywood right now, I am the best actress! Keep shooting, but you have to remember you What you just said!"

With that said, she did a few warm-up moves, and then started running again...

Three days later, all the shots were shot, and the actors left the crew one after another.

That afternoon, Chu Yuan approached Tan Jiabao and said that Audrey Hepburn wanted to see him and bid farewell to him face to face.He thought about it, hesitated for a while, and refused with an excuse. "If wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated; if flowers are not attractive, people are infatuated." He thinks that this unreasonable obsession should be restrained, and energy should be put into work.

In the evening, he, Robert Evans, Chu Yuan, Xu Guanwen and several others sat in Paramount's small screening hall to watch the crude film of "Run Lola Run".

It should be said that this film was shot very successfully, and Chu Yuan completely ignored Tan Jiabao's intentions.Compared with the "Run Lola Run" filmed by the German in the previous life, this film is more flavorful.

First of all, Jane Fonda's image and performance are better than the German Franka Potente.In particular, Jane Fonda's charming figure and her well-developed and healthy leg tendons will make people's eyes shine, as well as her pretty face, solid acting skills and hard running, plus her talking eyes .All of this, it's simply unacceptable that she is not popular with the audience!

Dustin Hoffman's performance is also remarkable, a performance of an acting genius.He grasped the complex psychology of the hero Manny's fear, anxiety, irritability, regret, longing for survival and hope for rescue very well, and he successfully played a small character who was dying but did not lose hope.

The other supporting roles and those guest appearances are all well-known old actors in Hollywood.A pair of dewy mandarin ducks played by Henry Fonda and Elizabeth Taylor can show the acting skills of the two superstars; Marlon Brando plays the underworld boss, majestic, like a preview of "The Godfather"; The nun is full of expressions, but still holy, and still has some angelic charm; the car thief played by Al Pacino is naughty and lively; the homeless man played by Jon Voight is ragged and unshaven , with a dull expression; the bank security played by Bailey is naive, wordy, but kind and humorous.

So this "Run Lola Run" is at least much stronger than the German one in terms of actors.However, in terms of directors, there is still a little gap between Chu Yuan and European and American directors, although the gap is not obvious.What made Tan Jiabao most angry was that he took some good-looking scenes that were incompatible with the whole film.For example, the crash scene, such as the slow motion of Manny being hit by a car and falling in the air, such as Lola falling slowly when he was accidentally killed, etc.

"Now the preliminary editing has been done, how many minutes in total?" Tan Jiabao asked Chu Yuan after the movie finished.

Chu Yuan said skillfully: "There are still 105 minutes left, a total of 1685 shots."

Tan Jiabao shook his head and said, "What do you think of the rhythm of this drama?"

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said: "The sense of rhythm seems to have not met the requirements, but these shots are already difficult to cut. Look, it's a pity to cut these shots."

Tan Jiabao said: "Let's cut another minute, 85 minutes of this film is enough. Remember, we don't want extra shots, not a single one! The main point of this film is the sense of rhythm. Some 'artistic I don’t want anything that’s changed! Slow motion, car crashes, and other things that may slow down the rhythm can be omitted. We just need to explain the result clearly. And music, this music is not good! At least the sense of rhythm is too weak .The music must be remade immediately. If it is too late, some fast-paced black disco music will be stronger. In addition, turn off all the sounds outside the venue, and only keep this sense of rhythm, which can make the audience nervous. It is best Music that takes the audience's breath away!"

The audience is not suffocating yet, Chu Yuan is almost suffocating now.

Robert Evans said at this time: "Tang Xiao, most Hollywood movies are longer than 1 minute. Our cut is 85 minutes, isn't it too short? Then the audience will have opinions."

Tan Jiabao shook his head and said: "A good movie doesn't care about the length. If these things are not cut, then this movie is at most a second-rate movie. If it is cut... Although it hurts a bit, it is a high-quality film. Evans, how about Let's wait for a while, let them cut it to 85 minutes, and then we'll see how it works?"

Robert Evans shrugged and said: "Since you have said that, what else can I say? Why don't I just listen to you? In terms of music, I don't think so either, let's change people. I'll go and get John Barry Come on, I think he's a genius at this!"

Chu Yuan stood up helplessly, and he returned to his studio silently.
