King of Hollywood Chapter 49: 1 cut smoothly
The phrase "proportional in my hands" is not just a statement. "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Memento" have already proved this point well, although the investment scene of "Shenchenke's Salvation" is also large, but Adrian and I don't think it will cause obstacles to myself, the only bottleneck is the status of the actors.
"Rhett at this time, although he has no good feelings for Andy but also no bad feelings, so the tone and expression should belong to the kind of official business, do you understand, Morgan?" Adrian said for Morgan Freeman The play, from time to time with slightly exaggerated body movements, he used this method to mobilize the emotions of the actors.
"It's like the manager receiving guests who don't meet the conditions of the store's reception?" Freeman hadn't spoken yet, and the black youth around him asked first.
"Alfonso is right, you can think about this, but not too much, this requires your own control." Adrian said a thumbs up to the black youth, the other person smiled and raised his hand back. .
He is Freeman’s youngest son, Alfonso Freeman, who “went” a guest role in the film “The Redemption of Shawshank,” and that Andy shouted “new prisoner” when he went to prison "Black youth." Out of bad taste, Adrian still let him star in this role, it's no big deal and can sell his personal feelings to old Morgan.
"As for you, Tim, do you still need me to explain?" Adrian turned to Tim Robbins.
"Let me think about it..." Robbins made a gesture and raised his head after turning his chin around the ground twice, "Ed, can you see this way?"
He closed his eyes and coughed softly. After gesturing, he opened his eyes and looked at Freeman with a light smile, which looked very relaxed but made people feel impenetrable: "Waiting for you I’ll understand it when I get there."
"Very good!" Adrian can't help but clap his hands. Using the "original team" is really the best choice. It can be verified with the pictures in memory and then integrated and guided. The shooting efficiency will be much higher.
"Everyone, ready to start." He then shouted, waving his arms, "Don't let other people get out of the way."
has been on for almost five days, and the Adrian’s scheduling of the big scene has also become smooth, as long as the extras do not make basic mistakes-appear in areas that should not appear or take things that are not of that era- — The shots taken all meet his requirements.
The scene I'm shooting is the scene where Andy first came into contact with Rhett after he was in prison. Andy wanted to get a small stone hammer through Rhett, and Rhett also found him through his words and deeds. Unusual.
"I can understand why everyone thinks he is arrogant, he has an extraordinary temperament, every move is different from ours, he is like being in a park here, he is just a carefree tourist." This is Reed narrates when Andy and Reed enter into the crowd after greeting.
Although the narration will not be recorded until later, the Adrian, which was personally mirrored, can't help but think of it. Robbins' performance is really excellent, especially he smiled and turned to the crowd. The movement is a good expression of Andy's indifferent temperament.
"I can feel the heart of the actor, calm, sad and never give up, in a sense, very similar to me." Robbins said in response to the inquiry, "Fortunately I did not miss it."
Think about it too. In the memory of Adrian, Robbins is famous for being low-key. Although he is famous because of "The Redemption of Shawshank", he rarely promotes himself in front of the media, except for participating in politics. There are many kinds of low-key, most people are low-key for low-key, that is just a way to attract their attention, Robbins low-key is really a low-key, probably this is why he and Sarandon Old and young can maintain a relationship for nearly 20 years. It is a pity that Hollywood is a real place after all, and what should happen will always happen.
Although Robbins is the best of several leading actors, the other two old actors haven’t gone too bad--James Whitmore has no outside scene, otherwise it’s three old actors. . Freeman is needless to say, he started to figure out the role as soon as he received it, and the explanation given by Adrian based on his memory is very appetizing, and the character has been reflected in the script and his own fusion In everything, the rest is just running in.
Bob Gunton’s warden is equally good. Although he is younger than Freeman, he does not pick up the girders in the movie like Freeman, but if you look at the characters, you will find that If Bob plays a positive character, it will definitely not make people feel bad. If he plays a negative character, it will definitely be annoying. Although Norton Warden had few scenes on the scene, the bad temperament that was so bad in his bones was just right.
"Anyway, from start to finish, you have to listen to me." When shooting the scene of the prisoner working outside the school, Bob joked when he was resting and talking about acting.
Freeman, who has a good relationship with him, immediately ridiculed and fought back: "But you are still finished, right, Andy."
He named the role of Robbins deliberately, the meaning of which is self-evident, and the people around him suddenly laughed. Although Robbins smiled but did not speak, he got along well with everyone, but like the male lead Andy, he prefers to sit and watch other people chat.
Well, the actor does not need to worry too much about Adrian except for a few supporting roles. His main energy is still on the scene scheduling. As I said before, except for a few scenes in Ohio, most of the others require a large number of people to participate in the show, such as the prisoners venting on the playground and going out to work; for example, Andy escapes, and the police hunt along the pool ; For example, the warden held a press conference; for example, the most classic scene, "The Wedding of Figaro" and so on.
Although Adrian has his own experience in controlling the big scene because of the shooting during this period, it does not mean that he can be taken lightly. After all, there are only so many extra actors. If a guy is a prisoner in the camera at the moment, and then becomes a policeman or a reporter with a microphone in the camera, then this BUG is really too big.
Adrian originally intended to repair the BUG in its memory, just like the "Miranda Clause" read by the chief of the guard when he was arrested, or the muzzle when the warden committed suicide, etc. How could he allow new BUG appears? Even if he can't control everything, this obvious mistake can't be made.
After such a shooting lasted for almost three weeks, most of the shots that required a large number of extras were taken in sevens and eights. Although the plan was delayed, the Adrian was not in a hurry. The exterior shots were originally better than photography There are many shots in the shed, and as long as the shooting time is not more than two months, it is within the acceptable range.
Despite Naisen’s private words during the period, he did not interfere with the work of Adrian. The people of the film company knew when to do, not to mention that he did not get such authorization when he came. Generally speaking, unless the director’s actions may harm the company’s interests, they will not, in principle, make any mistakes.
The remaining shots Adrian are planned to be completed in three days. Facts have proved that even for movies like "Shoushenk's Salvation", he can still confirm the images in his memory and then carry out targeted explanations based on this to mobilize the actors' Emotions, and then complete the shooting you need.
"Clancy, I hope you can understand what kind of emotion your character should be, happy, curious and feel that this person is good, not the feeling of a good friend before-don't make me regret it should be first Take this paragraph." Standing on the shooting site on the roof, Adrian half-jokingly explained the actors.
"I promise not." The actor named Clancy sitting on the floor shouted with his hands raised.
"Very good," Adrian said and turned to Freeman. "Morgan, you should pay attention that the expression on the face should match the inner narration. I believe it is very simple for you."
"No problem." Freeman, who was also sitting on the ground not far from Clancy, shrugged and smiled.
Adrian talked to other actors again, and finally looked at Robbins sitting against the female wall: "As for you~IndoMTL.com~ Tim, oh god, if they are not like you I’ll worry about it."
"Really? I always thought you were very dissatisfied with me, otherwise why would I stand under the tap and look up at the sky repeatedly during the shooting that night?" Robbins humorously returned.
Two days ago, Adrian filmed the most enjoyable shot of the whole movie in the pond near the correctional institution. Andy escaped from the sewer and stretched out his hands in the rain to look up at the sky. Because I wanted to make it more perfect, this lens repeatedly shot more than twenty times, so Robbins was also sprayed under the sprinkler's nozzle twenty times. Although it is spring now, the temperature in Ohio, which is slightly north, is not as high as in Los Angeles, so Robbins sneezed several times after work, but fortunately he was in good health and did not catch a cold.
Hearing this sentence, the people around him could not help laughing. Adrian said nothing. After shrugging, they waved to the "prisoners" wearing dirty white vests and blue cloth caps to prepare to start work.
is now shooting the first redemption when working outside to repair the roof. Andy used his wisdom to win the beer for the prisoners, so that they felt a moment of tranquility and freedom at that moment.
"Very good, guys, take it seriously, now is a good opportunity to shoot, don't delay it." Adrian sitting back on the director's chair shouted loudly, when the sun had just risen. Good opportunity for several shots.
"Aren't you palming yourself?" There was a familiar voice next to it.
"Not every shot requires the director to come in person, otherwise the photographer has to do something." Adrian replied in a low voice, then turned and patted the other person's shoulder: "Look at it, Dan, although your acting skills are very good Not bad, but there are more places to learn than them."
