Chapter 603: in principle

"Javier, when you appear on the screen later, don't have any extra performances, just have a cold expression and serious actions." Lehmann reminded Javier Baden, and turned to talk to the canteen shop owner on the background board. "Pay attention to the camera position, and don't leave the perspective. Let's try to go through it again."

Three days later, in a grocery store in Texas.

The crew is filming the scene where the killer An Dong appears. He has not yet entered the main line at this time. He has just escaped from the police station and is going to buy some candy.

At the scene, Javier, with a funny retro mushroom head and a large bottle of oxygen tank in his hand, took out a coin in the surprised eyes of the store owner.

"Guess it right and you get everything, guess it." The man said nervously but very seriously.

Some inexplicable speech, bought something and did not pay the bill, but let people guess the front and back of a coin, whether it is a word or a head.

This whole sense is very profound, and there seems to be a kind of wrong guess in the tone, which makes the old shopkeeper sweat.

In his limited life, he had never seen a character of this character, and he was so frightened that the shopkeeper didn't want any money, and would close the door to see off customers during the day.

The shopkeeper kept shaking his head and panicked, but Anton still asked the front and back of the coin very seriously, and he didn't seem to be deliberately threatening because he didn't want to pay the bill.

Of course, Anton is a person who attaches great importance to principles. He belongs to the kind of person who says that if you kill your whole family, you will definitely kill the whole family, and will not let a fish slip through the net.

Before that, he had already killed a policeman, and it was inconvenient to drive a police car and killed a driver who forced a stop. Now he wants to play a game, and if he can't guess, he will kill the shopkeeper.

As for the source of the killing intent, it was an unintentional word from the shopkeeper, who named Anton's whereabouts and came from New Mexico. Anton wanted to silence him. After all, he was a fugitive now.

"You just guess."

"We've got to know why we're guessing?"

"You have to guess, I can't help you choose."

In the confrontation atmosphere, the shopkeeper spit out an answer with difficulty, it was the head.

Anton took his hand away, and the obverse of the coin on the table was indeed a portrait.

"you are right."

Anton's tone was a little regretful.

"This is your lucky coin, don't mix it with other coins or it's just a coin."

The nerve-wracking man left, and the shopkeeper froze in place...

Although it is a trick, this is an old actor who has been in dramas for more than ten years. Although he has never been popular and is getting older, there is nothing wrong with such a simple emotional performance.

As for Javier Bardem, he has been trying to figure out the role in the past few weeks, and it is a small gain, and it is very natural to bring in.

——Anyway, just follow your own rules in a serious manner.

Moreover, this kind of shot is also very cool, the actors have acting skills, and they will cooperate with each other, and there will rarely be troubles, or the direction of performance cannot be found.

So, after this period, the crew immediately began to arrange the next scene.

In fact, for filming, the time-consuming is always on the scheduling, not the actor's performance, after all, it is not so easy to complete the scene layout one by one.

Fortunately, the scenes of the characters are very concentrated.

The first two days were mostly Morse's part, but these days it was replaced by Anton's part, and then in a few days, it's the lawyer's and mine owner's turn. The advantage of doing this is to save time for transitions.

Although Lyman had a specific shooting direction in mind and two original films to compare, he still designed additional scenes to perfect his version.

After all, apart from the style, the story in it is already a brand-new Hollywood crime film that is a little strange, and it is impossible to be much similar to the original.

According to the shooting plan, this process will last for two to three weeks, and then will be the starring group dramas, but the shooting will be easy first and then difficult.

Because the movie time was a little tight, it would be a waste to stop working after only eight hours of filming a day. Basically, I would work overtime every two days. Of course, overtime workers will be paid more, which is a good idea.

Later, when it was the mine owner's turn to appear in the scene, he encountered a little trouble.

David Strazer is pushing too hard.

In fact, the performance of the whole movie is actually very forbearing, and there is no major emotional outburst.

I just want to show an atmosphere of disregard for human life, and give people a sense of difference in habit.

When David's first performance was over and Lyman saw the lower-pitched and revealing performance, Lyman knew the style was wrong.

He gestured for David to come to the monitor to replay it, and then analyzed: "Gru is a figure who wanders in a gray area, with a little money and a little person, but he is afraid that his own affairs will be exposed and attract the attention of the IRS and the state government. , his mine is not complete, he is very afraid of this, so he will see his subordinates fighting, no longer trust his subordinates when the property is missing, and find other foreign aid, but he will not show such emotions. Therefore, you need to be a little bit more Be a little more restrained and give people a sense of confidence that things are still under control.”

David Strazer didn't say much, and nodded quickly, "I need to brew it, give me some time."

"No Country For Old Men, Scene 47, Second Time, a—"

In the room of the mine, Gru lit a cigarette, watched his subordinates report, and asked casually, "Did you get the money back?"

"Money... the money is gone."

"Really?" Gru asked lightly, "Do you know who took it?"

"Our men injured him and should be able to find him soon."

Gru extinguished the cigarette, waved his hand and said, "Go out."

"cut, prepare for the next one."

The crew quickly cleaned up the scene, and Lyman also gave David an encouragement.

Although the understanding of the role is slightly insufficient, it is also very good to be able to change quickly.

At the end of the day, they went back to the hotel to rest.

When you are in a hurry to shoot, you can hardly feel the passage of time.

It was like this until February 10, and the progress was quite fast, but Lehmann hurriedly set his sights on this year's Oscars.

The 78th Oscar nomination list is quite lively.

"Crash", "Walking with the Song", "Sin Ruina", "Munich", "Brokeback Mountain" and other highly popular works led the appearance.

Of course, several of Lehman's works were also shortlisted, but they were all leftover awards, such as visual effects, best sound effects, etc., which didn't attract much attention at all, and would not bring any fame bonus.

And since the Oscar selection list was announced, there is not much suspense.

Basically, whoever nominates the most will be able to enter the final award.

And the outside is far more lively than the inside.

For example, "Brokeback Mountain" was severely boycotted, claiming that the subject matter is sensitive, that people who support **** have freedom of choice, and that homosexuals should not be discriminated against with the so-called "unenlightened" people, which made Li Zhao disgraced, and almost made no one scolded to death.

However, the Oscar jury is accustomed to this kind of farce every year, splashing dirty water or throwing black material is a necessary means of competition for the grand prize. It is just to suppress the most popular and most talked about "Brokeback Mountain" first.

For this reason, Lehman also had to rush back from Texas to participate in a few small-scale cocktail parties, in order not to offend the members of the Oscar judges.

Although he doesn't take these awards seriously, of course it's better not to slap the face deliberately if a product like Oscar can't be offended.

It's just a few times of communication, and I followed their intentions, and no one will deliberately embarrass anyone After the nomination reception, the later stage of "Prada" is almost completed, and some insertions at the beginning and end are needed.

In addition, Lehmann also cares about Pan's Labyrinth, which was filmed in Spain from time to time.

Gyro still has the ability to direct, and with the help of Alfonso Cuaron, after more than two months of filming, the scene has come to an end, and it is estimated that it will soon enter the later stage.

When the film is officially completed, it will basically be around April.

At that time, it will definitely be able to catch up with the Cannes Film Festival and be shortlisted for fame, which is also quite appropriate.

On February 12, the Valentine's Day schedule for "Prada" was approaching, and at a private club in Burbank, many executives of the studio gathered at this time.

The purpose of their gathering is naturally for the joint issue.

And the project that Firefly came up with is naturally the classic "The Queen Wearing Prada" in the previous life...
