Chapter 663： The director is really good

J-J-Abrams was born in New York City in 1966.

In 1990, he served as the screenwriter of the comedy film "Little Thief Gao Sheng";

In 2001, her first TV series "Double Spy", which she wrote and directed, was a great success, and was nominated for the 54th Emmy Award for Best Screenplay in the Drama category;

In 2004, he wrote and directed the first season of "Lost", which received high ratings and won the 57th Emmy Best Drama Director......

It can be said that this writer has both screenwriting skills and directing ability, and is especially good at science fiction and action fields. Being able to take over "Mission: Impossible 3" is also recognized by both sides.

However, Abrams and Tom Tom can't really pee in the same pot.

One is the director and screenwriter, the other is the starring and producer, the other likes to write and direct, and is very self-conceptual about the project, and the other likes to intervene in the script. ,contradiction.

At first, Tom was able to persuade him well and try his best to achieve unity, but later he found that Abrams was not easy to talk, and the noise was a headache, so he simply intervened in the filming as a producer.

Abrams cherished this opportunity to enter the big screen very much. He endured it. In the end, he followed Tom's intentions and became a qualified filming machine, only to further his career as a director.

Then, he took the blame...

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Tom's strength, but he just did a good job at the task at hand.

Oh, you were very loud when the movie was filmed, and when the movie failed, you buried your head and pretended to be dead, pushing the blame everywhere?

Abrams didn't say anything in front of the media, but the partnership was definitely gone.

......

On June 7, the city of Nice in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

The filming of "Untouchable" will take place here.

This city, located on the southeastern edge of the Alps, has a complex coastline and is the second largest population concentration in France after Paris. It has a prosperous economy, developed tourism and a suitable temperature throughout the year.

The crew of "Untouchable" was simply stationed in the northern part of the city.

Lehmann arrived here the day before yesterday, but the crew has already set up the set, sets, lighting, and is ready to shoot.

With a smug look on his face, Ryan reported the entire arrangement to Lehmann.

Most of the preparatory work in the middle of this project was arranged by him and Thomas.

Lyman patted Ryan on the shoulder, not stingy in his admiration.

Ryan waved his hand modestly, and he was more interested in introducing how the crew was set up, how much manpower and energy were used, how and how...

Of course, the three studios were very cooperative, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

Entering the temporary set up studio, Lehmann met another star, Omar Shi.

This man fits the image of the black domestic helper in Lyman's impression very well. He is tall and strong, with a short shaved hairstyle and big white teeth when he smiles.

Perhaps because of the color of the skin, the teeth of black people are extraordinarily brighter.

When Lehmann went to see him, he was sitting obediently next to François Crucey, speaking the lines.

After learning that the director was coming, he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Rust, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will try my best to play the role well."

Oma-Che is a Senegalese. Although it is a pity that he is not an Algerian actor, according to Edmund, there are not many Algerian actors in the whole of France.

So, Omar-Hy was picked.

First, this person has the same skin color; secondly, Omar-Xi has acted in many works, although they are all playing soy sauce and playing the villain, but Sheng has accumulated a lot in this regard, and his performance in the audition is very good.

As for the salary, 30,000 euros is enough.

In other words, the entire actor expenditure, including group performances, does not exceed 300,000, which has not yet accounted for 3% of the total budget.

"Mr. Crusey, how are you doing?"

After chatting with Omar-Hy, Lehmann looked at François Cruze.

"I'm ready. If you don't come, the script will be ruined for me." The old gentleman said humorously.

In fact, he did attach great importance to the filming of this movie, because the role of Philip was a big challenge for him. He couldn't move from the neck down after being paralyzed. It was all about his eyes and facial expressions to interpret the inner drama. The role is sufficiently understood and substituted.

The next day, Luc Besson came to visit the class.

And the crew also officially started filming...

More than 90% of the scenes in "Untouchable" are shot in Nice, with only a few transition scenes.

Because the shooting location is fixed, there is no post-processing that takes energy such as special effects. Therefore, it is estimated that the shooting cycle of the entire movie will not exceed 50 days.

Ryman is likely to complete the entire production and push it into theaters before Christmas.

In addition, the three studios asked people for people, and they asked for things, and even arranging street blockades, they could negotiate with the local government, and the crew didn't need to worry too much about things other than filming, so it shouldn't be too easy.

Or, it was also the box office revenue brought by No Country For Old Men, which made them very optimistic about the filming of this work. After all, can they make money? They are always willing...

And the cast members are even more unlikely to play big names in the face of a qualified director like Lehmann, and there will be no quarrels and disagreements during filming.

When the first shot was completed quickly, a more difficult set of scenes was about to be filmed.

That is the scene of the interview of Dereis, which is roughly divided into two parts.

One is that Dreis is messing around, just wanting to be rejected so that he can receive government unemployment benefits;

Second, Philip nodded in agreement, the butler's doubts.

This paragraph is one of the most exciting paragraphs in the whole film, and it also calls for the theme of the film, so everyone in the crew attaches great importance to it.

In the room where the set was rented, Francois sat in a wheelchair, motionless.

Two cameras, one facing the door and one obliquely facing Francois' profile.

Lyman saw a triangle drawn from the sense of space formed by the camera position and the actor's position, and nodded in satisfaction.

On the other hand, the editor saw Lehman nod, and immediately made a slogan to make it easier for later editing to be dropped.

""Untouchable", the eleventh scene, the first scene,—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Omar Xi walked in from behind the door, walking in a condescending manner, his eyes wandering around, while saying that I have been waiting for more than two hours, let me go first, and walk to the housekeeper Philip. In front of him: "Hello. You signed this for me."

The black actor who was born in 1978 and is only 28 years old this year spoke in a high-pitched voice. After speaking, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, as if he wanted to cause trouble.

Philip is a rich man. Even if he is paralyzed, he can only be recruited by industry leaders when looking for caregivers. Obviously, this person in front of him is here to make trouble.

The housekeeper suppressed her emotions and said, "Please take a seat first."

The housekeeper is played by Emmanuelle Bea, a French actress who was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but she gradually retired as she got older. This time, in the filming of "Untouchable", she was I took the initiative to join, because there are not many scenes and it is a cameo, so I didn't talk about the salary at all.

In other words, with Lehman's appeal, it's actually quite normal.

If the movie is really successful, it will definitely be much better than this salary.

Afterwards, there was a discordant conversationFrançois wondered, "What are you doing with this piece of paper?"

"Prove that I have come for an interview... In short, you can use any reason for rejection. You don't plan to use me, just sign for me. I have to be rejected three times before I can get unemployment benefits."

"Just for unemployment benefits? That means you have no interest in this job at all?"

"No, there are still some." Omar Xi smiled in a flirtatious tone: "I'm very interested in this... I'm very interested."

After speaking, she also winked at the housekeeper.

François on the side was amused, and the people in front of him showed no sympathy or respect for him at all. How can I say this feeling?

This scene took two days to shoot.

Francois stood up, moved his stiff legs, and said to Lehmann, "It's not a good feeling."

"Then you need to exercise more, the body is still very important."

Francois took a sip, "Well, it's worth sacrificing a little for this role. I've never encountered such a good show for me in all these years."

It's not easy for an actor to meet a good character...
