Legendary Hollywood Director
Chapter 478: start shooting
On January 25, the movie "The Mist" officially started.
Based on the consideration that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders, many supporting roles in "The Mist" are chosen from caa.
This is a benefit of Lehmann for caa, and it is also the cornerstone of maintaining the partnership.
Otherwise, if caa is dedicated to defending Lehman's personal interests without asking for anything in return, it will make Lehman feel that they have something bigger.
It is precisely because of this exchange of film and television resources that caa occupies half of the business of economic people.
After all, even if you get a small role in "The Mist" that may not even have lines, most of the small actors do not have the right to be selected, and can only get opportunities by relying on the platform contacts of major brokerage companies.
Monopoly has always been the right to make rules...
In a courtyard by the lake, the staff were all ready, Lehmann sat behind the director's monitor, and made an OK gesture to the screenwriter, and the filming officially started.
"The first scene of "The Mist", the first scene,—"
The scene record clicked down the board, and the shooting teams on both sides moved.
In the shot, David, played by Cage, skillfully picks up a paintbrush, selects the colors he needs on the dye trays of various colors he holds, and swipes ink freely on the canvas supported in front of him.
Soon, a cowboy-like image emerged spontaneously.
His face is blurred, but the revolver on his belt is clearly visible...
Then, the camera pans to the left, and more paintings that have been drawn are presented under the camera.
This is a long shot of nearly a minute, which is a test of the ability of the shooting team to assist.
However, everyone in this team often cooperates, and everyone has a tacit understanding.
As for Cage, Lehman was not disappointed either. The movements were just right, as if he was a painter who was addicted to painting. Although he didn't have a single line, his rich and natural body movements were unobstructed.
Of course, these required painting props were drawn by professionals, and Cage was just pretending.
And this shot is also an implicit tribute to Stephen King. The backgrounds of several paintings in it are scenes from the classic horror novels written by the old man.
Such as "Carrie the Witch", such as the twin demons in "The Shining"...
After Cage put down the paintbrush and got up, Lyman shouted with satisfaction, "cut."
Nicolas Cage turned around and asked, "How is it? Do you want to do it again?"
Lehmann gave a thumbs up and praised: "No need, it was good just now, and it's hard to get better."
After watching the replay again and confirming that the shots were completely up to standard, and there was no need to shoot again, Lyman clapped his hands and said, "Okay, prepare for the next scene right away."
The crowd dispersed, and Mussel Jackson also walked in to prepare for the next scene with Cage.
Outside the courtyard, there was a mess. It was the tragic situation after the strong wind crossed the border on a rainy night.
In this scene, David and his neighbor, the black lawyer played by Mussel, went to the supermarket in the town to buy some necessities.
After such a big storm, the supermarket might be sold out.
Although the set team and the preliminary renovation of the courtyard were carried out, it took more than half an hour to arrange lighting and camera positions.
When filming began again, Lyman focused most of his attention on the debutant Samuel L. Jackson, who had the most lines.
And Samuel's image is also very different from the original Andrew Brower. The black lawyers he created pay more attention to the changes in tone, and the temperament is more rational and objective, and the complex changes in expressions are less. Don't use body language to express.
In fact, this is more in line with a highly educated upper-class elite in the script, and the character setting does not need to be exposed when acting.
Therefore, Samuel's performance looks more natural. Even if he quarrels with David over a trivial matter, he tries his best to convince people with reason, instead of shouting and turning up the volume.
However, even if the starring status is hot, there will be various problems during the filming process——
"Cut." After filming for a while, Lyman quickly called a pause.
"Director, is there any problem?" Just now Musser was speaking his lines, and he asked suspiciously after being called to suspend.
He thought that he had just acted with Cage, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Lyman shook his head, "It's not your problem, keep it up."
After he finished speaking, he looked at a little actor that caa squeezed in, who was playing David's wife in the movie.
"Are you an outsider?"
"I'm sorry, Director Ryman, I was wrong." No matter what, admit your mistake first, this is the survival rule for young actors in the crew.
"Your husband is arguing with your neighbor, do you just stand by as if you didn't hear it, and don't care? If it's in reality, what should you do as a wife?"
The brunette, who was nearly thirty years old, was said to be blushing slightly.
Because there are very few portrayals of such a small role in the script, she doesn't know whether she should add a role or not - doing some actions in unspecified scenes will inevitably attract the camera, and some directors are very concerned about the actors' performance. Did not complete the scene according to the script.
But apparently, Lyman is not.
Although she was told, she explained happily: "Should I frown and interrupt later?"
"Yes, this lady, you should interrupt the conversation between the two of them. Next, let them hurry to the supermarket and advance the plot, understand? Anyway, you need to conform to the attitude of a wife, And your own courtyard was destroyed by the storm, your mood should be bad, and your tone should be mainly complaining~www.readwn.com~ I understand, Director Ryman, I will do it well."
A few more lines have been added, and the degree of photogenicity of the scene has also greatly increased. Even if he is scolded, he is willing.
After Lehmann returned to the monitor, he directed everyone to re-shoot.
The effect this time was much better than the previous one, but it still failed because there was a small problem with the recording work of the crew.
Then again.
In January, Ohio is relatively cold. A group of people leave the warm indoors and switch to shooting outdoor scenes.
The cold wind whimpered past, and there was still a little pain in the face.
It was as if his face had been blown stiff.
But this is the filming routine of the crew.
Filming is often out of season. It is normal to shoot summer plays in winter and winter plays in summer.
The script can't always dictate what season, so let's just shoot it in what season.
Schedule planning is a big hassle, and no crew has the spare time to wait.
The scenes in the courtyard only took 6 minutes, but it took three days to shoot.
On January 28, the crew moved to the supermarket, which is the center of the story...
