King of Hollywood

Montana is located in the northwestern part of the United States, adjacent to Idaho and bordering Alberta, Canada. It is known for its minerals, petroleum processing, and prairie. Of course, the most well-known is Yellowstone National Park. As the world's first national park and the hottest and most spectacular national park in the United States, countless families come here for vacations every summer.

Although Brokeback Mountain was not filmed in Yellowstone, it was not too far away, basically all in the Rocky Mountains, so the resident is just northwest of Montana, and a Canadian called Graz not far from Canada. On the town.

The name sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yes, exactly the same as the name of Graz, the second largest city in Austria. Of course, this small town, also called Graz, has nothing to do with Austria, and the residents of the town are not Austrian. Ann guessed that he probably flipped through the newspaper when he was named, and thought Graz was a good word, so he used it.

This situation is very common in the United States. As long as someone is willing to find it in detail, it is guaranteed that the names of well-known cities in various countries will be found on the map of the United States, Paris, London, Barcelona, ​​everything. This is also a practice in the history of pioneering the United States. At that time, when a town was set up in a certain place, you would not think of any suitable name, and you would simply use what is already in the world, so as to avoid trouble.

Of course, this is basically done in some small towns with thousands of people. If no one deliberately sought it, it would not be found. If not the popularity of the network. Coupled with the need to come to Montana to take pictures, Adrian probably would not know, so even if people in other countries noticed it, they could only laugh at it as a joke.

"Are you ready, how bright is the light?" After receiving a positive response from the props artist, Adrian hurried to the makeup artist and the lighting artist.

"It looks pretty good," looking at the numbers on the photometer, Adrian nodded, and patted on the shoulder of the test subject Rui Fan: "Go ahead, go all out."

Montana was still a bit cold in mid-March. However, it also coincides with the season of Brokeback Mountain, and there is not much rain during this time, which is very suitable for shooting. After everyone was ready, and Raven Phoenix and Brad Pitt, who replaced them with old-fashioned denim, also got their separates, Adrian made a start gesture to the diary.

This is the first scene of Brokeback Mountain, where Ennis and Jack met outside the ranch owner's trailer, and also the beginning of the entire movie. In fact, Adrian originally wanted to film herds first. It was just that the herd owner who had been in contact changed suddenly, and the crew couldn't contact anything else. In addition, considering that Rui Fan and Pete still needed to run in, Adrian also revised his plan to shoot from the script.

Have to admit, whether it is Rui Fan or Pete. It took a lot of time and energy to prepare, and where to go, no different from the cowboys of decades ago. In addition, Ennis' dumbfounding and Jack's uninhibited, were interpreted by the two with body language in front of the camera, especially Rui Fan's movement of leaning his collar on the wall to retract his neck. And Pete's big back and bold two-headed, and the atmosphere needed for the entire film is very suitable, reflecting the character's personality is very good, even more rare, these two were proposed on their own initiative. So use more experienced actors. Directors are relatively easy.

Of course, Adrian also did his homework before. Although most of the time he researched based on the information collected by his assistants, there is a competent secretary like Ivanka, and there are references to previous works. It is also very accurate. For example, everyone knows that men think women are good. It would be straightforward to look at her with admiring eyes, but if you look at men with this look, it is very rude. If you do this on the street, you may be punished by old people.

So how do homosexuals admire people who can see? I used the mirror to look indirectly, so at first Jack had a shot of Ennis looking at the rearview mirror in this car. Here, Adrian redesigned the plot, Ennis found Jack's look, but just pulled the collar, and didn't say much.

However, this is not intended to express Ennis' homosexuality. Throughout the novel, Jack is obviously more proactive. He knows that he is gay, accepts this fact, and falls in love with Ennis. But Ennis is not necessarily homosexual. Without Jack, he would probably spend his life blandly after marrying Alma, or in a cliché or even nauseous words, that Ennis fell in love with Jack. Not a man.

Therefore, Adrian added a small gesture here, which not only showed Ennis's irresistible homosexuality, but also foreshadowed the complicated relationship between the two later.

Of course, it ’s their thing if the audience all sees it this way. Without the plot of that movie, it ’s perfect. If you want to find it, you can always find a loophole in logic. Just like "Broken Back Mountain", the plot seems to be very self-consistent, the two men's heart and life and death are also in place, but since they have been so hard inland, why not go to San Francisco?

Coastal climate is always more relaxed than inland, no matter which country it is. San Francisco has been a **** base since the 1970s. So if they can't stay in Montana or Texas, they can save a lot of money and go to San Francisco together, and there will be no future tragedy.

Well, this is a joke, if they did, there would be no novels or movies in Brokeback Mountain.

"Very good, guys, you are doing a great job." Adrian did not hesitate to compliment himself, and it was not so smooth at the beginning.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long. When the first scene was over, the second scene began to be blocked. The ranch owner starred in two plays here, first of all, the encounter between Ennis and Jack, and then the second year Jack wanted to work with the ranch owner to meet with Ennis again. But the ranch owner was aware of their situation before, so he drove him away with sarcasm.

Because there is only Jack ’s play here, it should be easier to pass than before, but I do n’t know why, Pete, who performed well just now, can't satisfy Adrian with any performance.

"You have to pay attention, Brad, you can't make your emotions too obvious. Jack definitely doesn't want others, especially the ranch owner to find that he cares too much about Ennis. But at the same time, he can't be too restrained. It can't be seen at all, Jack It's not Ennis. Are you contradicted? That's right! "Adrian took the trouble to play for Peter so that he could better mobilize his emotions.

Although the previous smooth state is very good, but it is basically a chance to be met, so he was not disappointed by the subsequent shots, but take it slowly, and this also made him find some problems.

So, after NG dozens of times finally passed this lens. For the next three or four days, the crew has been walking around the town, taking fragmentary shots, such as Ennis's memories, or some more ordinary meetings with Jack. But privately after that day, Adrian ordered Rui Fan and Pete to live in the same house. The name is so beautiful that they can further feel the sincere feelings of the two characters.

"Isn't it necessary?" Rui Fan, who was pulled into the room, asked a little depressingly. He didn't think it was wrong, but he was forced to come over to live in a room with Pete, which felt a little weird.

"It's necessary." Adrian was not polite at all. "I know that you used to exchange feelings before that, and you have a lot of experience, and it is very effective, I have seen these. However. These are obviously not enough, you I have to continue to communicate and cultivate feelings until I think it is OK. "

"What if you always think it's impossible?" Rui Fan asked, although he already knew the answer.

"It's a pity that you will always live together and know that the filming is over, even if your girlfriend is visiting the class." Adrian replied for granted, followed by a serious addition: "Of course. Don't be fake. do."

Pitt, who had been listening honestly, squirted out, and Rui Fan rolled his eyes.

No matter what they think, the matter is so settled, so the two big men began living together in the crew, and after the news spread, some people will inevitably look at them on the set with ambiguous eyes. However, the mentality of the two is also good, and they don't care about these not malicious eyes, and even put them together in front of everyone, and they look like they are intimate.

Adrian also let them be so funny. After the running-in of these days, the weekend ended, and after the observation that it was OK, plus that the sheep were not completely connected, he was ready to shoot the first climax.

"In short, you have to bring yourself into the role of a wife who is aware that her husband is a bit wrong, but not sure what is going on, and then when she inadvertently sees that scene, that kind of It ’s very persuasive to be shocked. I know it may be difficult for you, Kirsten, but I also believe you can do it. ”After all the props and scenes were set up by the crew that morning, Adrian said to Kirsten, who arrived on the crew.

"I can do it." Shortened his hair, Kirsten, a freshly dressed man, nodded strongly.

This is the first time that the leprechaun has cooperated with him for so many years, so Adrian does not use the nickname Kiki, but instead calls her full name to pay attention. Of course, when working with his own woman, Adrian hardly used a nickname on the set, even if everyone knew her relationship with him, it was a professional attitude.

It was supposed to start filming the married lives of the two men by the end of March, but since the problem of the sheep has not been completely solved, and Kirsten's schedule has already been left, Adrian let her Coming from Los Angeles.

"Are you sure that the foreman won't fire you?" When hearing that her husband was going fishing with his friends in Brokeback Mountain, Alma walked out of the room with her arms in her arms, her eyes inexplicably complicated.

"The foreman owes me, and I was working in a blizzard last Christmas," Ennis didn't care. "Also I just go for a day or two."

As soon as the two conversations passed after turning on the machine, Adrian had to stop.

"I need you to converge a bit," Adrian said to Kirsten after a moment of groaning. "You're still a little more obvious. Anyway, Alma always hopes that Ennis will change his mind, otherwise he will not turn a blind eye to his date with Jack on Brokeback Mountain. So even if I saw them intimate before, no matter how shocked they are On the surface of peace, you can ... "

He said, frowning slightly, then looked at Rui Fan with a depressed and worried look: "Are you sure that foreman will not fire you?"

The tone was soft, with a little anxiety that could not be said, so Rui Fan showed a startled expression: "Are you all right, director?"

Kirsten chuckled suddenly. The tension before Adrian shouted immediately disappeared, so he just glared at Rui Fan and said nothing.

"Do you understand?" Adrian asked Kirsten and slap Rui Fan again: "Don't put too much pressure on her, we'll come again."

In all fairness, Kirsten's acting skills are still very good. Although "Spider-Man" has made her very popular, in the past few years, she has also performed many literary films. It's just who makes her play against Raven? Phoenix? Basically, Rui Fan has never participated in a large-scale A production in Hollywood, and the roles he has played have always been characteristic, which has kept him a good reputation after the drug admission incident.

These good reputations are not just words. Adrian is deeply touched. He also knew that Rui Fan had good acting skills. But it was always looking at things at this level, and then I finally saw it in the first cooperation in Brokeback Mountain. Not to mention, he is always the first of all actors to play in the show, and he has a good sense of proportion, if not the rich experience of Adrian. It may not be possible to control him.

In this case, Kirsten with whom he played was under great pressure, as can be imagined.

"It seems that we should take a step-by-step approach, first film some Alma and Ennis life scenes, and then perform in-depth filming." Repeated, rested, and repeated again and again. It took an afternoon, and after the footage finally passed, Adrian said.

"Of course, you have already done a good job." Then he praised Kirsten, who was a bit depressed.

In this way, non-stop NG is really easy to hit the actor's confidence, but on the other hand, it can also allow the actor to grasp the inner nature of the character as soon as possible, and run successfully with other actors. If you have a fragile heart that can't stand the blow and negation, it is better not to be an actor. Of course, there is no shortage of praise and encouragement.

"Speaking of it, I sometimes think that if Kirsten and Rui Fan also played in" The Night Visit to Vampires, "it would be interesting." Adrian then teased them and said, "I almost Everyone can think about how people who like to spoof will write a film review of this movie. After visiting Louie, Louie fell in love with Malloy, but Malloy accepted him and rejected him, and met him. After losing her memory, Claudia became a couple with her. Louis tried to find Malloy. They started a rendezvous again, and Louis immersed himself in the love world with Malloy, but turned a blind eye to Claudia. Claudia, who had recovered her memory, was double betrayed and eventually divorced from Malloy. "

After this comment came out, people who understood the scene burst into laughter. Those who didn't understand laughed after others explained it. Rui Fan and Pete shrugged or scratched their heads in the laughter. It didn't matter, Kirsten also cheered up in the laughter.

"Since everyone is so happy, then we will try another film for this film." Adrian then said.

"But, Mr. Director, time ..." An assistant wanted to remind.

"It's okay, just take a test shot and let them prepare for the feeling. It's OK to light up the lights." Adrian immediately said, "Act 33 of Act 48."

Hearing these two figures reported by everyone, everyone's eyes became a little weird, and they looked at the two actor, Rui Fan had nothing to do, and began to prepare with a free look, Pete involuntarily cooked again. Scratching his head. Because the story of this scene is that Jack finally couldn't hold back his thoughts and rushed over from Texas. After the two met, they couldn't help kissing in the corner.

That's right, this is the kiss scene of the two men. This is the shot that Adrian is going to prepare for a test shot ~ www.readwn.com ~ and the first climax he is going to shoot before. This is also the reason why Kirsten came over to film conflicting dramas in the beginning. The kiss scene of the two men is in front of this scene.

Now that the director has ordered, the crew will naturally operate, and everyone will soon be ready. First a long shot, Ennis saw Jack coming from the window in the house, rushed to the door immediately, the camera switched to Jack's smile and then cut back. From here, Ennis opened the door and took a few steps along the stairs. Come down, rushed to Jack, smiled and wrapped him firmly in his arms, then the two of them grabbed each other and came to the corner.

This shot was about 1 minute, mainly based on Jack's perspective, and included Ennis' body language in all aspects, showing in all respects his peaceful and restrained silence. If not for vulgarity and a mismatch with the style of the whole movie, Adrian might have shot it with a 360-degree rotation here.

The whole process was very good. Rui Fan leapt down and hugged Pete tightly in his arms. The combined movements and the joy from his heart were all in place, but when the next shot arrived, it became different. Already.

"Cut!" Adrian standing on the sideline shouted and waved to stop the filming, "Are you two kissing?" (To be continued.)
