Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
On January 7, 《Pretty Woman》 was officially opened in a villa in Beverly Hills Zhuang.
Based on the consideration of fertile water doesn’t flow into others’ fields, many supporting roles of 《Pretty Woman》 are selected from uta. Kapoor was right when he said that these people have no problem acting, but they lack opportunities.
Even if you can get a small character with only a few lines in the new movie "Home Alone" Director, these little Actor are quite satisfied. Eric did not promise anything to everyone.
As long as 《Pretty Woman》 is released, uta's signed Actor will find how lucky they are. previous life Because of the popularity of 《Pretty Woman》, even the elevator operator who was only exposed a few times in the movie finally became a comedy Actor.
Philip Starkey, the profit-seeking private lawyer of Edward, does not have a suitable Actor in uta. Eric has contacted original's actor Jason · Alessandra.
Jason · Alessandra is still an ordinary Broadway stage play Actor at this time. Although the acting is very good, it has no advantage in appearance. It has only played some insignificant roles in a few movies and TV series. I heard that I can get a supporting role in the Eric new film, and the other party joined uta from the original Brokerage Firm without hesitation.
Hollywood is such a reality. As long as Jason · Alessandra succeeds in the future, no one will accuse him of betrayal, but will envy his good luck.
In the villa, all Actors have been buried, Eric sits behind the monitor and makes an ok gesture to the assistant, and shoots officially begins.
"《Pretty Woman》, Act 1, Scene 1!"
The clapper hit the clapper board and everyone in front of the camera moved.
In the lens, a magician invited from the circus speaks lines while changing the magic of coins skillfully.
"No matter what they say, the topic is inseparable from money ..."
Soon, the camera moved up, the magician took out a gold coin from the ear of Edward ’s ex-girlfriend, and Philip Starkey, played by Jason, appeared on the camera with a smile, asking the male protagonist watching the magic The whereabouts of Edward.
This is a long shot of nearly a minute, the performance is difficult, and it is quite a test of the ability of Actor. In order to take this shot well, I have rehearsed many times before.
Jason · Alessandra did not disappoint Eric. With the movement of the lens, the monitor Jason smiled all the way through the whole process, spitting out a line without hindrance, wandering among the guests, accompanied by rich and natural limb Language.
After Jason kissed a female guest ’s cheek, Eric shouted with satisfaction: "cut!"
Jason · Alessandra put down the champagne in his hand and walked to Eric with a smile on his face: "Director Williams, how about the lens just now, do you want to come again?"
Eric could n’t help but gave a thumbs up and praised: “Not at all, it ’s perfect, this is a good start.”
Several members of the crew couldn't help but come together. Eric played back the footage just now. Everyone saw the performance of Jason · Alessandra, and they all started at the same place.
After watching the playback again, and confirming that there is no need to repeat shoots, Eric clapped the hands and said: "Okay, the relevant staff will immediately prepare for the second game."
The crowd spread out, Jason · Alessandra also entered the villa and Al · Pacino and others were preparing for the next show.
A room on the second floor of the villa was changed into a meeting room. Al · Pacino was looking through the materials that he did not know how many times he had read.
In order to make Al more representative of the role, Eric specially prepared a more than ten pages of information about Louis and Moses. Although these two companies are fictitious, the content of the materials is professional. The staff is based on the actual company.
The second shoots was related to the discussion on the acquisition of Moses. Although the room has undergone a preliminary renovation, it took half an hour to arrange the aircraft.
After the start of shoots, Eric put most of its attention on the first performance of Al · Pacino. Al · Pacino did not have a few lines, all expressed by expressions and body language. These are all Al · Pacino is the best.
The image of Al is very different from Richard · Gere in original. The Edward he portrayed is still personable, but there is more wisdom and indifference in temperament, and a less gentle and easy-going. In fact, this is more in line with script's setting of Edward which is a cold, merchant-like implementation of his plan like a machine.
Therefore, Eric quickly accepted the new image created by Al.
"cut," After a few shots of shoots, Eric suddenly shouted a pause at the beginning of a shot, frowning, and stood up.
"Eric, is there any problem?" Al · Pacino asked questioningly. The first few shots were smooth, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his performance just now.
Eric shook his head: "Al, not your problem." After that, Eric sat behind a blonde next to meeting table, and the blonde named Dory quickly stood up.
Eric expressionlessly picked up the notepad Dory just wrote and wrote on the table: "Dory, you know, because of your negligence, we have to retake all the shots just now!"
Dory apologized nervously: "Sorry, Director, I ... Can I know where the problem is?"
"Your role is a meeting recorder, but in the first few shots, you are all absent-minded, do you know? If this is a real company meeting, you must be fired, see What have you written, 'Can I compare you to summer, but you are more gentle than summer', is this a poem? "
The blonde ’s fair face turned slightly red and explained softly: "Yes ... It ’s Shakespeare ’s sonnet."
"Okay, Miss Literary Arts, now, sit down." Eric let Dory sit down again, eating small tofu lightly, corrected the sitting position for him personally, and placed the notepad in front of the girl. : "Next, remember, don't write poems anymore. Wait a minute and write down all the lines they say in Al. Do you understand?"
Dory nodded: "I understand, Director Williams."
Eric returned to the Director chair and directed everyone to restart shoots. The reason why it is so easy to let go of girls is because Eric has its own faults.
He just focused too much attention on the performances of Al and others, and ignored the mistake of Dory. It was not until a shot that Dory appeared in the center of the screen, he reacted. If he corrects in time, he wo n’t waste so many shots.
However, as Director, in order to maintain his prestige in the crew, he certainly will not admit that he is a mistake in this kind of trivial matter.
Although the party lens in the villa was only a few minutes in the film, shoots took up half of the day to get up. It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that we finally ushered in the last shot in the villa, which was a conversation between Edward and ex-girlfriend Susan.
After breaking up with his current girlfriend Jessica directly and violently by phone, Edward, who was about to leave the villa, walked downstairs and happened to meet his ex-girlfriend.
......
"Susan, can I ask you something?" Edward stared at Susan.
Susan wondered: "What?"
Edward raised his hand slightly and thought about it for a while: "When you were my girlfriend, did you tell my secretary more than me?"
The tone of Susan is a little bit lost, it seems to recall the past when the two people got along: "Your secretary later became my bridesmaid."
Edward froze for a moment and smiled awkwardly before saying goodbye to Susan.
This episode may seem ordinary, but it is actually one of the character turning points of the actor Edward in the movie.
The reason why 《Pretty Woman》 was able to achieve Box Office success and was included in most love movie lists is not without reason. Many people will think that Aiya, this is just a fairy tale of an unnutritive prince and Cinderella, it is impossible to happen in reality.
It's not wrong to say this, but the plot design of this movie is much more refined. Perhaps Director himself only did this subconsciously, but he cannot deny the existence of these delicate settings.
To say no logic, Notting Hill of shoots after previous life Julia became famous was called no logic, and male & female leads only met for a while, without saying a few words, they kissed hotly in the actor ’s apartment, the first time in Eric Seeing this movie, Lei was out of focus by that sudden scene.
In 《Pretty Woman》, the reason why the male & female leads can come together in the end is not that it is unreasonably pulled. The characters of Vivian and Edward in the movie have been transformed at least three times.
The first change of Vivian was shortly after the film started. She met the prostitute who was dying in the trash bin. At that moment, in the close-up of the lens, Vivian showed fear in her eyes, so she was talking with her friend Kate · Lu When the cards met, Vivian asked for the first time, 'Don't you want to get rid of this kind of life? ’
The second time was to accompany Edward to the banquet. Vivian went alone to buy clothes and was driven out by the clothing store. Vivian, who was wrapped in a coat and walking on the street, felt a bitter humiliation, which also made her decide to escape again. The original life.
The last time, Edward gave up the acquisition of Moses, and Philip Starkey, who was so violent, blamed the Vivian. In the hotel room, Philip Starkey said Vivian with a harsh tone: "Do n’t forget your identity , Miss Vivian, you are not a little woman, you are just a prostitute! "
This sentence will completely wake up Vivian immersed in the Cinderella dream created by Edward. So, when Edward said that she wanted to support her, Vivian ran to the balcony, not daring to face Edward's eyes, but dreamingly telling his childhood fantasy. She said to him, either, give her a fairy tale, or let her leave.
She finally chose to leave, although this was not the end.
The transformation of the character of the actor Edward began in the villa. During the conversation with his ex-girlfriend Susan, he asked his own question. Susan said that her secretary finally became her bridesmaid. As you can imagine, Edward was right Susan is so cold and neglected that his girlfriend has to depend on his secretary. Although this detail could not cause too much change to Edward's character, it also made him start to reflect on his behavior.
The second transformation of Edward was after having a meal with Boss of Moses and returned to the hotel. He sat alone on the balcony overlooking the night view of Los Angeles. Because the conversation during the meal reminded him of his father who passed away not long ago, he studied hard, worked hard, and finally revenge his father to abandon her mother. The first thing he did after he founded the company was the acquisition of his father. The company sold it after it was split.
However, his father passed away, and the 14 years of grievances and grievances have disappeared. He finally felt a trace of fatigue. When a person is tired, the willpower is always the weakest. At this time, a woman suddenly appears in front of him, enlightens him, soothes him, and breaks into his heart unconsciously.
On the piano in the restaurant, the tired Edward broke out for the first time with strong emotions.
The final transformation began that night. Vivian played chess around Edward, and Edward supported his chin and said, "Why not play tomorrow? I still have to work?"
Vivian asked rhetorically: "Why go to work, take a day off?"
Edward wakes up like a dream: "Yes, I am Boss."
So Edward is completely ‘degenerate’, they are shopping like a couple, embracing lying on the lawn reading, chatting in the snack bar in the south and the sea ...
In the end, he found that he couldn't live without Vivian.
On the sad rainy day before parting, Edward finally made up his mind to give Vivian a fairy tale in the song "This must be love" Flowers, climbed the castle window (hanging ladder), and greeted her princess.
