King of Hollywood Chapter 87: The plan is not as fast as change
"Clink, come here, stand up the light stand! And you, um... what is your name? Okay, Brett, move this thing over there and call them Clean up the site, be quick!"
With the voice of the director’s assistant, the motel room was busy. The staff of the crew of “Pulp Fiction” was under the supervision of a director’s assistant, and the environment was prepared for the next shooting, and as a director Adrian is talking to Bruce Willis on the other side.
As expected by Adrian, John Travolta, who fell to the trough, agreed in just a few minutes, and only paid $100,000 in compensation-of course, the box office share must still be written into the contract Yes, after all, he is still a big star who has long been famous. Anyway, if the box office fails, he will get nothing.
Adrian didn’t care too much. No one except him would know how much box office this movie can get. Travolta has already performed at the lowest price and has not been divided. It is really not in compliance with the rules. So just pressed the percentage of pressure.
Samuel Jackson is also the same. He has just emerged, and the partner is a well-known ghost director in the circle, so he has no opinion on the conditions for opening. Only Bruce Willis, although not yet strong in popularity two years later, is not cheap now, and directly offered a price of 7 million. Adrian naturally refuses to accept it, no matter how, the cost can not be higher than the original cost? So after several negotiations, Willis finally reduced the remuneration to 3 million, and the price was part of the box office, but Bitola Volta was lower.
seems to be losing money. If everything goes well, Bruce will get more than 4 million. But Adrian does not think so, this is an opportunity to have a good relationship with Bruce, he fancy the brokers of Travolta, Jackson and Willis, if they can dig them over then their brokerage company Development will be of great help.
"Irritability and anger, you feel irritability and anger, and at the same time you are a little flustered, because the gold watch is left to you by your father's hard work, which is very important to you. But you can not completely vent Come out, because your woman is here, although you are angry that she forgot to bring the gold watch, although you are thinking in your heart: Oh, this stupid woman! But you still love him after all." Adrian gestured to explain .
"Ed, do you think it's okay?" Willis said after pondering.
He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions. Suddenly he lifted his head to breathe quickly, his shoulders and lower abdomen were ups and downs violently, and both hands were raised up and squeezed into fists and opened, this emotion continued He calmed down slowly after a few seconds.
"Very good!" Adrian applauded and applauded. "That's it. You did a good job, Bruce. Those guys who say your acting is bad should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge."
"This is too exaggerated, Ed." Willis laughed at his thin hair, "I'm glad you are satisfied."
"So, let's get started." Adrian saw the assistant director's gesture that he was "everything is ready" and patted Willis on the shoulder and walked towards the camera.
All the shots this time will be taken outside. Anyway, the venues needed are nothing more than motels, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, basements, etc. It is cheaper to rent these places in the suburbs than to build them in a studio Much more. The only trouble is that it needs to be transferred and transferred. If the bar and restaurant used for the shooting are too close, it is easy to wear.
Adrian originally wanted to go to the restaurant where the Cate was robbed before to shoot the robbery scene, but after careful thinking, it was still left behind. The law and order there still did not improve much, and the two robbed last time The robbers have not been arrested so far, and the American police are not very good, so forget it.
is now shooting the second of three stories: "Gold Watch". Willis plays Butch, a boxer who plays underground punches. He has a gold watch left by his father. He attaches great importance to this gold watch and stays with him wherever he goes. This time, the gangster Masha gave him a sum of money, asking him to fight fake punches in the next boxing match. Butch promised to squeeze all the money on himself, and then killed the opponent alive in the game, so he spent a lot of money trying to run his girlfriend. However, her girlfriend left the most important gold watch at home, but Butch had to go back and get it, and as a result, he hit Masha, who was waiting for his rabbit in his house, and a series of strange things happened. Actually reconciled with Martha and retreated with money.
In fact, the first thing Adrian wanted to shoot was the third story "Bonnie's Situation". The scenes of this story are basically indoors, and the scenes of the restaurant can be put into the last shot. But Willis had only 2 weeks, and he had another movie to shoot, so Adrian had to shoot "Gold Watch" first.
In fact, the main scene of this story is also indoors~IndoMTL.com~ There are three main places: motels, grocery stores and their basements, and Butch's home. However, one of them was a chase battle between Martha and Butch. This scene was to be filmed in front of a lot of people on a sunny street. It also required a lot of temporary actors. It was very troublesome to deal with.
Fortunately, at least Willis gave him a surprise. This strong man’s acting is not as rough as his appearance. For example, in the gentle scene in the motel, he used his body language to perform his role properly. It should be gentle, but at the same time it did not make Karina Pramo uncomfortable with the play.
It’s a pity that his appearance is a little...how to say, it’s very tough. The boxy face looks like a knife. Although the eyes are a little bit, it gives a feeling of perseverance. "Danlongwei" is famous for being a tough guy. But it is precisely because of this that after playing too many tough guys, the image is limited, and then trying other roles will make the audience feel uncoordinated, and over time has also been titled facial paralysis.
Well, not to mention those, after spending three days filming the motel scene, Adrian started preparing for the next scene. In order, it should be a grocery store, a chase battle, and finally a play at the Butch's house, because in the Butch's house, there is a shot of Travolta being shot by Willis. Put the scene here last. After Willis finished shooting, he continued to shoot Travolta.
But after thinking about it, Adrian decided to shoot the chase first. Anyway, this scene is shorter, the sooner the month is completed. However, the plan never changes fast. Whether it is a long-term plan or a temporary plan, the 64th Oscar nomination list is released on the second day of the Adrian filming chase scene.
