King of Hollywood Chapter 9: Continue shooting and guest appearance

Chapter IX continues shooting and guest appearance

"Good job, Gary. Now there is good news and bad news. Which one are you going to listen to first?" The Adrian behind the monitor raised its head and watched the role of Lieutenant Dan Gary Sinis on the set. Said.

"Um..." Sinis glanced around and shrugged. "How is the good news."

"The good news is that your image is very good, I am very happy." Adrian said with a smile.

"What about the bad news?" Hanks, who was standing next to Sinis, asked first.

"The bad news is that my technical consultant told me that the blue material wrapped around your leg has a small part, so we have to repeat this shot again." Adrian spread his hands and raised his head upward. Suddenly, there were mournings.

At the end of "Forrest Gump" A-Gump and Jenny’s wedding is being filmed. Lieutenant Dan comes with his fiancee, and this scene is the two most important people in A-Gump’s life. Meet once.

Regarding this scene, Adrian once remembered a comment saying this: The two representatives of the United States, which are at odds and even extremes, shook hands because of A-Gump.

What Jenny represents is undoubtedly the young people in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s who have been hailed as the collapsed generation. The lieutenant represents those who are conservative, traditional, and do not want to change. For example, he believes that he should die there on the battlefield, rather than survive as a disabled person.

In the end, they all lost their goals in life and lost their confidence in life. On the other hand, Forrest Gump, who has the simplest outlook on life, no matter what he encountered, remembering his mother’s words, he always insisted on running forward, but achieved what others did. The unsuccessful success, when compared with each other, is ironic and at the same time makes people feel meaningful.

Therefore, "Forrest Gump" is a completely American main melody movie. Although the character of Forrest Gum is fictionalized, many people regard it as the representative of the American dream: as long as you work hard, you can succeed

Many people actually know that the American dream is largely a cake. Yes, of course, there are people like Steve Jobs who started from scratch and succeeded-this is why A-Gump invested in a computer company selling Apple-but more like Bill Gates is both capable and People with connections. People who start from scratch and who succeed entirely on their own may not have one in 100,000 unless they lower their standards.

However, giving hope is better than giving nothing, which is why Adrian is willing to appreciate the Oscar, even if the film school is somewhat conservative and not so fair. As long as you look at the best movies of each session, most movies will appear no matter how dark and negative the overall story is, there is always a bright color to encourage and hope. For example, in the "American Beauty" of the past few years, many people said that this film took the bright skin of the American middle class, but the phrase "I am proud of my small life" after the death of Linus made the whole theme sublime. Got up.

So a completely black movie like "Seven Deadly Sins" may be outstanding but will never win the best Oscar movie. A large media group in a country must promote the mainstream values, whether it is the United States or the country where Adrian lived in the previous life. It took only a few years for China to understand that it was on the right track, and the propaganda work was terrible.

There are many reasons for this. Americans are more familiar with this system, and they know how to integrate their values ​​into the story to subtly influence people, such as "Forrest Gump" being filmed by Adrian.

In addition, the strength of the culture and some things in the system are also one of the reasons, but some idiots among Chinese filmmakers are also the reason. As a past life, they were mixed in that circle, and this life relies on innate advantages. The Adrian, which is in full swing in Hollywood, is fully qualified to post the word idiot on some people's heads.

Okay, not to mention this, let's go back to the set. Lieutenant Dan, played by Gary Sinise, lost his legs in Vietnam, so his legs could not be exposed when shooting. It is usually simple to fall in a wheelchair and hide his legs underneath, but in this scene of A-Gump's wedding, he came with a cane and rolled up his trousers to show A-Gump his titanium alloy. Prosthesis. In this way, he must wrap his calf with special blue fabric, and then remove the entire leg for prosthesis during post-production, so the blue fabric must be just right, and there will be no problem.

Fortunately, after shooting again and smoothly, and then shooting again to reserve, the filming in Alabama is almost the same, the rest are some fragmentary shots and places that need to be supplemented.

Before Adrian left, some less important shots were handed over to Deputy Director Richard Ryan. He basically did a good job, except for a few shots. For example, when Jenny returned to A-Gump for the first time, the two came to the vicinity of Jenny’s original home while strolling in the wild. Jenny, thinking of all kinds of past events, angrily picked up the stone and slammed it towards the house, and finally fell to the ground and wept. The original intention of this lens Adrian is to shoot from bottom to top, showing a sense of high ground and a distant sky, in order to reflect the emptyness and loss of Jenny's heart at the moment.

Although Ryan did this, the shot was not as good as Adrian, so after thinking about it, I decided to retake it. Fortunately, A-Gump's lens that caused people to overthrow the cabin after Jenny left was not taken yet, so it can be used. Although it is overthrown, it doesn't matter. It's only a few days to set the scene, but why can't you use it? What?

"You performed well before, Linda, so you only need to reminisce about how you felt." Adrian is talking to the heroine Linda Dylan and Tom Hanks is standing beside .

Linda Dylan, 25, is only a second-line actor in Hollywood. Her acting skills are not bad. She has a good grasp of the role of Jenny. Because the women around Adrian are currently not suitable for this role, he randomly chose an actor. Who would have thought that Rachel came to the door two weeks after the start of shooting.

Yes, the image of drug addiction, which I told Rachel at the time, is exactly Jenny in "Forrest Gump". Although it is a bit strange to let British women play typical American women, Adrian believes that if Rachel plays well, it might be possible to play the taste of it. After all, he knows her very well, it is not difficult to guide her to master this role, and it was not alarmist to say that Rachel is narrow, she is really suitable for which kind of book-filled female role, but it is easy to limit yourself by playing too much. At that time, it was not easy to think about change again, which is essentially the same as the transformation of youth idols.

"Yes, Mr. Director, I understand." Linda nodded and walked aside to start brewing emotions.

Adrian turned to Hanks. For Hanks, he didn’t have any more words. He just patted the other person’s shoulders, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and white trousers with a flat head. Cox also smiled and did not speak.

You have to admit that Tom Hanks is very good in terms of his actor status. He feels right about A-Gump. From the start of shooting to the current ng, there are very few, so Adrian doesn’t need to worry at all.

As the bezel knocked down, the scene was silent for a moment, and Linda, who played Jane, suddenly picked up the stones from the ground and threw them into the log cabin, one or two... Finally, the foot slipped, She fell to the ground, then wept with her head down, and A-Gump, played by Hanks, stepped forward and quietly supported her.

Jenny is also a woman with a dream. Unfortunately, she was hurt by her father from the beginning. A-Gump’s lines have made it very clear: his father is very loving and always caressing her lovingly. What this means, domestic violence or something deeper, is the audience's own understanding. In short, Jenny, who has been hurt since childhood, has developed a rebellious character. She wants to prove herself desperately and find her own way.

But the more so, the deeper the damage, the more she finally stood on the balcony and watched the city lights. Fortunately, in Alabama, there is still a man who loves her all the time, from beginning to end, without looking back, so Jenny finally got off the balcony. But she was still confused, even if she returned to Alabama and returned to A-Gump until...

"Although I'm not smart, I know what love is." A-Gump said a little bit sadly.

At this moment, Jenny finally understood A-Gump's feelings for her, so she had the following story.

This shot was done in one go. Both Linda and Hanks performed so well that Adrian stopped with direct applause. After these fragmentary shots were processed, the scene in the town of Ewell was almost over, and the crew moved to Montgomery, Alabama's second largest city, to shoot some of the urban scenes. There is A-Gump's college scene, and Jenny's Girls' School. The most important thing is that A-Gump sits on a bench and tells his story to every passerby waiting for the bus.

The originals were all shot in different places, including North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. But Adrian believes that since these stories gave birth to Alabama, they should be filmed in Alabama. Anyway, as long as you are willing to find, there is not only one place suitable for shooting, and the scenes used for shooting are easy to arrange.

"Well done, ma'am, thank you for your help." On a T-shaped street in Montgomery, Adrian said so to a young black woman, she was an extra actor and appeared in A-Gump waiting for the bus 'S first speaking object.

For these roles, Adrian has not found an overly professional actor. In his words, it is more appropriate for locals to act, so that it can be more integrated with the local atmosphere.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Adrian." The woman named Jeanna thanked Adrian excitedly, and then spoke about Hanks with human affection. Unfortunately, she was a fan of Hanks, and It's a very enthusiastic kind, and even more unfortunately, it's only now that everyone has realized this, so that Na really can endure.

Of course, this kind of thing will cause Hanks to have a headache. Adrian immediately called the assistant director Lei: "Lei, the one I need next, a little fat, bald middle-aged man?"

"Sorry, director, we are not sure which one is suitable, maybe you can look at it?" Lei Ku said with a face, not only to find in the local area, but also must have performance experience, and the character requirements, which So easy to find the right one?

"Okay, show me." Adrian said after frowning.

Lei quickly took the information, and after turning it over, no one was suitable, and Adrian frowned deeper.

"Let's take the old lady's scene first." Charlize, who had been by his side, said suddenly.

Adrian pondered for a few seconds, looked at Charlize and looked at Thunder, and he agreed to come down. He also knew that finding temporary actors with good acting skills was not an easy task. But at this moment, Hanks, who got rid of the trouble, came over: "I have an idea, Ed."

"You have an idea?" Adrian looked at him unexpectedly.

"Yes," Hanks nodded and smiled a little slyly, unlike Han Han's Forrest Gump.

"How are you here to play this role?" he said.

"I'm coming?" Adrian's mouth twitched, "I think you made a mistake, Tommy, what I asked for..."

"Come on, Ed, there is no written in the script that this person is tall or short, fat or thin, why can’t you make a cameo?" Hanks said with a good time, then waited for Adrian to answer, and suddenly Clap your hands. The crew of the crew, as well as some of the lively people, turned their eyes on him.

"Hey guys, I have a proposal..." Hanks said with a smile, repeating the previous proposal and emphasizing the reason, "...Ed is the director, he clearly understands the story better than we do What I want to express, and we all know that he came on in "Friends" and the effect is very good, there is no need to worry about his acting skills. So, why can't he lighten his role as a guest? What do you think?"

When Hanks clapped to attract attention, Adrian had already guessed what he wanted to do, but it was too late to stop. Besides, even if this time is blocked, Hanks can have another time, can he stop every time? So it’s better to let him say it, and then press it down.

But Adrian made two mistakes. First, he underestimated Hanks' incitement ability; second, he overestimated his prestige. Just when he coughed and wanted to speak, Hanks clapped again and cried loudly: "Ed Ed"

In the beginning, there were only a few actors who followed Hanks and clapped and yelled. Slowly, other staff members were added. Later, even Ray, who was standing next to Adrian, did so, although he quickly stopped after glaring. It came down, but after running to the side, it started clapping and cried again.

For a time, the calls and claps of "Ed" and "Ed" came one after another, making people on other streets look around. Adrian glanced at them with a wry smile, and then looked at Charlize around her. Although she didn't clap and shout with them, she turned her head to the side, a look like "I don't know anything".

"Okay, okay," Adrian raised his hands compelledly, and did not calm them down again. I’m afraid I don’t want to shoot again today. Is it?"

The whole crew was thunderous.

"I think I should change my style of directing to become more rigorous and more unquestionable, what do you think, Matthew?" Adrian looked at his own in the mirror, playing on his face Said the makeup artist.

"I think it's good now." Matthew said with a smile.

"Good? If I'm not too good-tempered, would you dare to do this?" Adrian said dissatisfiedly.

"This means that everyone likes you, Ed." Matthew tried to make his expression look serious. "If everyone doesn't like you, how can they coax, right?"

"Hah, you finally admitted that you are coaxing?" Adrian said immediately.

"Okay, Ed, you should let Matthew put on your makeup as soon as possible. If you delay it, today's progress will not be completed." Charlize, who was sitting next to him, said angrily.

Adrian glanced at her and finally stopped talking after humming. Matthew couldn't help but look at Charlize, but he quickly regained his gaze and concentrated on applying makeup to the director.

After spending half a day, Adrian finally got neat and finished Hanks, which is next to Fores Gam. He was wearing a gray suit and had something under his stomach to make him look blessed. His face with makeup also seemed to be several years older, from a young man to a middle-aged uncle.

"I never thought that I would play with the Oscar actor one day." Adrian said after meditation several times.

"But I think you must know~IndoMTL.com~ will one day direct the Oscar-winning acting." Hanks replied with a smile.

"That's true." Adrian shrugged, made a "can start" gesture to the assistant director, and then took a deep breath and prepared for Hanks.

Although he is confident that there will not be too many problems, after all, he performed well in the previous guest appearance "Friends". The survey feedback after the episode aired also showed that the audience is still satisfied, but can be an associate director. After Richard Ryan shouted the beginning, he ng ten times in a row

This shot is actually very simple. After Forrest Gump told his story in Vietnam, the Adrian, who played the passerby, asked in a curious tone: "Is that a bullet right? Just jumped and bite your **** That."

A very simple sentence, but God knows why Adrian's performance can't pass the mark. Not only does the associate director think so, Adrian holds the same opinion after watching the monitor screen.

"I said, I am not a professional actor" Adrian said half annoyed and depressed.
