Chapter 638： TV shooting

The old town of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

The "Breaking Bad" crew has been here for four days.

Because of the success of Firefly's two TV series in a row, the public is also looking forward to the start of filming of this TV series.

Even the initial preparatory filming has attracted a lot of media attention-mainly because there is no news in the entertainment industry that is worth reporting recently. The only thing that has a bit of traffic is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting along. After being said a few words, the character of a good man collapsed, and then immediately set up to pursue the character of true love.

And when the tedious three rounds of audition and casting ended, although many actors who wanted to work with Firefly were not selected, they were disappointed, but several of the main actors who were determined also entered the media's attention.

Among them, several supporting roles who played Xiaofan and anti-drug police officers were not very famous, but they were not questioned much. After all, before the success of "Prison Break", several actors in it were not very popular. This proves that Firefly is popular. Human abilities are still there.

But when the information of the male protagonist Bryan Cranston was announced, the voices of doubt were no longer rare.

At 50 years old, from the 1980s to now, the only award he can win is the Emmy nomination for male supporting roles. The most important thing is that he looks too ordinary, and he has no experience in leading roles. He can afford this drama. ......

More importantly, with such an old actor playing the leading role, what will the show be about?

It's not about the mid-life crisis, right?

Many fans of "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" are obviously not used to this wave of firefly, because the average viewing age of these two shows is roughly 16 to 24 years old. How can anyone care about one of them? The performance of the ordinary man of the year.

Therefore, on the Internet and in American drama forums, the shooting of Firefly's new drama quickly became the focus of controversy.

Some people thought optimistically, maybe this male protagonist will have a different kind of charm, and the play itself is good enough; some people think that the new play may be a sitcom type, and the male protagonist Brian has participated in "The Malcolm Family". "; more people think that the firefly Jiang Lang is exhausted and can't make good dramas, so they have to make some old-fashioned family soap operas...

In fact, once an actor is over 50 years old, he is really pushed aside by mainstream Hollywood film and television dramas, and neither the media nor the public will pay much attention to the aged actor.

Even if you have good acting skills, even if you have won many awards, so what?

Your age has passed the time to be sought after and infatuated by the public.

Therefore, in addition to Bryan's agency arranging a large number of publicity drafts for its clients, trying to save the embarrassment of being denied the protagonist before the show was released in the form of press releases, Bryan Cranston basically did not Got a few words of affirmation, which is why Hollywood always has an implicit standard for an actor's prime.

After this degree, both the role and the salary have dropped steadily, and there is not necessarily a supporting role to play.

However, this kind of questioning is actually a good thing for Firefly.

The drama has not yet been released, but it has gained popularity first. There is a famous saying in the field of public relations that black and red are also red.

Controversy has influence. As long as this kind of blackness can be washed a little bit, what you can gain is definitely much more than what you lose.

Brian, who was at the center of the turmoil, did not feel any pressure at all. His mentality was very good. Perhaps it was the past that was neglected and unplayable all the year round. When the series started filming, he quickly became immersed in acting. The excitement of the protagonist, as for those who are scolded or not, and those who are questioned or questioned, is it cool to play the leading role?

That kind of camera's first follow-up shot at any time, as long as he is present, is the only central point, and the episodes are all arranged according to his scenes...

I have to say that it is right for everyone to want to be the protagonist. It is completely different from the supporting role.

Don't say that only green leaves can make safflower more beautiful. If you can be a safflower, who would want to be a green leaf?

In the old town, in a leased residential building.

Several supporting actors are rehearsing their positions and matching their lines under the command of the assistant director.

Bryan sat on the side, director Mark Tetotu talked to him alone, and the make-up and costume staff next to him also surrounded him.

Among the actors, no one is very famous. Mark and Blake's selection principle is to pass the image and acting skills.

Therefore, apart from Lao Bai, who was the original and appointed Brian, several of them have changed their candidates, but they are all very suitable. The salary is cheap, and the price of each episode is basically about 4,500 US dollars - American TV series by episode Count the money.

"Everyone is ready, "Breaking Bad" Act 7, Scene 2,—"

As the clerk knocked off the slate, in the living room of Lao Bai's house, a group of people were celebrating Lao Bai's birthday.

This episode is one of the most embarrassing scenes in the early stage of Lao Bai. On his birthday, his wife and son cast their eyes on his brother-in-law, and none of them were really happy for him.

Lao Bai's sad and forced smile showed the character's distress at once.

The atmosphere was fun, but Old Bai was feeling tormented.

"Seat number two, give Brian a close-up."

Mark sat behind the director's monitor to direct the camera movement, while Lyman watched patiently.

After this period, the actors quickly touched up their makeup, but their eyes still inevitably turned to Lehmann.

A well-known director came to visit the class, which was enough to make everyone in the field feel respectful and cheered up to perform.

But Lehmann didn't say much, and didn't hinder Director Mark's command.

In fact, he has accumulated a lot of experience on the set, and the scheduling is very organized.

"Wait another 2 minutes, everyone is ready, let's start shooting the next shot."

After a few days of running-in, the crew members of "Breaking Bad" have a certain tacit understanding. The shooting progress is actually relatively smooth, and it is only the first three episodes of the pilot broadcast, so the preparation work will be easier.

After all, if you are shooting while broadcasting, for an average American drama crew, you need to produce at least two episodes of footage a week.

After the tour was over, the next day, Blue Butterfly Pictures released the first 4.5-minute trailer of "No Country for Old Men" on major TV stations.

Because the film is multi-line and the plot is integrated, it is not easy to cut a more exciting and selling trailer for this film.

Therefore, the first version of the trailer only pointed out a few characters in the play and a small part of the coin-guessing dialogue. Although it looks vague, it can be seen that the film is a western crime theme.

The characters in the movie have their own characteristics. Of course, the one that attracts the audience's attention the most is definitely the killer Anton played by Javier Bardem. The forked mushroom head is really ugly and impressive.

And Lehmann has directed similar crime themes since "Bad Guy", which has also aroused the expectations of most moviegoers.

This kind of topic-raising has always been the simplest and most effective marketing method.

And the trailer is also played out by many movies. Some bad movies are even joked that the whole essence is in the trailer, and the trailer is better than the main film.

In short, after a little more than two weeks of building momentum, on May 24, the film will officially debut in North American theaters.

In May, the Organizing Committee of Cannes made several calls urging Lehmann to come over as soon as possible.

He had to put aside company affairs and prepare to go to the film festival as a member of the jury of the non-competition unit.

May 10.

Lehmann and his party rented a Gulfstream businessman and flew to Paris and then to Cannes.

In the cabin, the space between the seats is spacious enough, after all, there are only 12 positions in the whole.

Among them, Lehman, Eva, Thomas and Ryan occupy four, and Liam, the distribution president of Blue Butterfly Pictures, also took an assistant to find suitable film sources, plus Heath Ledger, Javier -Baden, Tommy-Lee-Jones, Josh-Brolin and other leading actors, all 12 seats were not filled.

Everyone took off at one o'clock in the afternoon, and after about 9 hours of flight, they arrived at Paris International Airport.

After coming out, I went through the VIP channel and was immediately treated by a French studio.

Speaking of which, the people who greeted them were all ordered by the top of the company, and at least they were all from the management level.

After all, there is cooperation between Lehman and them, and the screening of "The Walking Dead" is more popular than the first season, and the ratings have not dropped below 6. Everyone has interests and made money. Naturally, they have a warm attitude... ..
