Chapter 366: Filming in Warsaw

Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The blizzard raging in Warsaw finally stopped. Although the sun was weak, the crew was still engaged in normal work, so many people each Staying for an extra day will consume all the green dollar bills. Even if Ryan paid more than 30 million U.S. dollars in production costs for this film, the money is not so wasted.

The crew hired a lot of manpower, and with the assistance of the Warsaw City Hall, it took more than a day to clear out a few blocks of the temporary studio and location.

Before shooting, Ryan still has very important things to do, and that is to dye her long hair black again.

For a long time to come, his hair will have to maintain this color, because after the filming of "The Pianist" and Aragon, Peter Jackson personally called and hoped that he could appear in May at the latest. new Zealand.

Although "The Pianist" is about the same massacre, the style is completely different from "Schindler's List". Whether it is the script provided by Ryan or the picture conceived by Roman Blansky, there is no sensational element. Some are cold, the kind of objective to cruel cold.

Ryan naturally knows what kind of performance should be used in the filming, even if it is a problem, it is a small problem. Other Jewish actors seem to have a hard time adapting, even if Roman Polanski has spoken enough before the filming begins.

"God, look, look, they're building walls!"

This actress, named Jessica Kate Meyer, stood in front of the window and saw the workers on the street outside building walls. It seemed that she wanted the Jewish quarter to be completely sealed off. Her voice was a bit loud and very frightening. .

As soon as Ryan and other people gathered around the window, Roman Polanski behind the camera called to stop.

He walked up to the actress, pointed outside the window and said, "What I need is calmness, look. Look, there is a wall outside. You don't need to be surprised, and you don't need feelings."

The actors including Ryan soon took their place, and the assistant director shouted to start.

"Look, come and take a look." The actress seemed to have found her status, with no emotion in her lines, "They are building walls."

Spearman's family stood in front of the window, looking outside silently, like a group of bystanders.

After shooting another indoor group show. Ryan walked aside and sat on the lounge chair to slowly adjust his breathing. Because most of the crew were Jewish actors, the atmosphere of the crew was a bit depressed, just like when filming "Schindler's List."

"Need something to drink?"

"Hi, Chen."

The person who came was Chen Jiazheng. He came here with the last crew of Jenkins Films before the filming started, and temporarily acted as an assistant to Roman Polanski's assistant, to put it in plain language. That's the chores in the crew.

Don't underestimate such an inconspicuous position, the students of the Film Academy of Southern California University, I don't know how many people have broken their heads and are unable to enter the formal film crew.

"Ryan. Before coming, Professor Great asked me to tell you that if you fail to meet the required requirements this semester, he will never let you graduate next year."

After passing the hot coffee, Chen Jiazheng sat beside Ryan. "Our mentor is someone who can do what he says."

"Don't worry, I won't let Professor Great grab the handle." Ryan suddenly thought of the other three guys, "Darren and them?"

This opportunity to enter the crew to practice. They shouldn't let it go.

"Darren and the others are more interested in horror films. They followed Ms. Sloan to the crew of "Scream 3"." Chen Jiazheng looked at the Jewish actors, seemingly in a trance, and said after a long time, "I see. After reading the original work, I saw the crew written by you in the company, and I specifically asked Ms. Sloan to have a chance to come to Poland."

"Just call me directly." Ryan patted his arm, Chen Jiazheng shook his head, and suddenly said, "Being here, being able to meet friends like you and Darren is my biggest gain."

"You gave me too much help," he said again.

Ryan changed Chinese, "Well, don't talk about these girls, talk about why you are here, right?"

Ryan’s vulgar remarks caused Chen Jiazheng to laugh, but he then returned to his serious expression, “At present, the most influential movie with the theme of the Holocaust is known as Schindler’s List. I know you Starred in that movie, and now that he is going to make "The Pianist" and also starred in Mr. Spearman himself, then this movie must have his uniqueness."

He seemed to hesitate, and he said, "Ryan, don't you know that you know China during World War II? The crimes committed by the Japanese in my homeland are absolutely no less than the Nazi massacre of the Jews..."

"Sorry."

Speaking of this, he only remembered that the opposite was a Jewish descent.

"It doesn't matter." Ryan asked after making a nonchalant gesture, "Is it... the Nanjing Massacre?"

"Do you know about this?"

After spending so many years in California, Chen Jiazheng naturally knew that the vast majority of Americans neither knew nor cared about this tragedy in history.

Ryan was silent.

"The Japanese still don't recognize it..."

Listening to Chen Jiazheng's intermittent words, Ryan remained silent.

"If possible, I would really like to shoot a movie with my own hands to remind the world that in the Far East during World War II, a group of beasts also committed terrible tragedies."

Looking at his confident friend, Ryan broke his silence, "Chen, I...I am an outsider, so I can’t say much. Just remind you that there is a book called Rabe’s Diary, which should be in 1996 or 1997. Published, it is about the history you are talking about. If you have time, you can find it and have a look. I think it will be helpful to you."

"Also, if you need it, I can find someone to introduce Ms. Zhang Chunru to you." Ryan asked suddenly, "Are you sure you don't stay in Hollywood?"

"After graduation, I will return to China." Chen Jiazheng said very firmly.

"Ok."

Everyone has their own ideals, this kind of thing cannot be forced, Ryan thought for a while, "If you need help, just open your mouth. Although you don’t know it well, I think whether it’s China or the United States, without money, it’s not good. movie of."

Despite this, Ryan knew that if Chen Jiazheng returned to China, he would be very limited in helping.

Compared with Steven Spielberg of the year, Roman Polanski's shooting speed can only be described by tortoise speed. Only a few shots can be taken in a whole day. That is a common occurrence, and the crew officially started. The shooting time is not long, and actors including Ryan also need some time to adapt to his style.

Time slowly entered the end of March, the cold in the air in Warsaw gradually dissipated, and the sun became warmer, but the good weather did not substantially change the progress of the crew. When the filming of Spearman’s loneliness Ryan and Polanski had a disagreement while remaining in the scene.

"Sufficient hunger can make you understand what Spearman has been deprived of. Without a certain degree of personal experience, it is difficult for you to understand his original behavior."

On the street full of debris, Roman Polanski yelled at Ryan, "If you don’t know how much hunger will affect your behavior, how can you as an actor go beyond the craving for food? Thinking?"

"Mr. Polanski, I am a person first, and an actor second. If I can't guarantee even the most basic physical strength, how can I talk about acting?" The old-fashioned suit was over Ryan, and his pants and sleeves were empty. How thin has he been.

"Are you afraid of affecting the image on the Oscar red carpet in a few days?" Polanski seems to have forgotten that he is not only facing an actor, but also the producer of the film. At this time, his words are already silent. Choose a word.

Ryan's cheeks had sunk long ago, and he was too lazy to care about this guy, and went straight to the rest area, sat on the chair, took the dark chocolate that George had prepared, and supplemented the physical energy consumed by the shooting.

In his opinion, Polanski seems to be crazy now, faintly revealing that he wants to turn this movie into a landmark work in film history. The requirements for actors are not strict, but are described as abnormal.

As for myself, in order to film the continuous dieting, I was in a state of hunger almost every day, and his body began to have adverse reactions. Even so, Roman Polanski asked him to continue to lose weight, and it seemed that he was really going to become skinny. Will be satisfied.

Ryan thinks that his professionalism is good enough to be able to achieve this point, which can be seen from the admiration of the crew's eyes.

Honor is very important, but if you want to completely destroy your body for this, it won't be worthwhile.

Besides, at the expense of his own body, he became a great director of Roman Polanski. He is not so great yet.

Ryan even considered if Roman Polanski continues to be paranoid and confused, then replace him.

It is not a big deal that the producer/star and the director are in conflict. At this time, someone needs to play a lubricating role in the middle, and Polanski’s agent plays this role well.

"Ryan, you know what happened to Roman. He just wanted to truly reproduce the situation back then." Standing next to Ryan's chair, the other side explained to the director in a low voice, "I know his request was a bit excessive. ..."

"Forget it." Ryan waved his hand casually and said, "Let's shoot other people's scenes first. I'm going back to Los Angeles tomorrow to attend the Oscars. When I get back..."

"As long as you keep your current body shape, I promise there will be no problems."

The agent wiped the cold sweat that did not actually exist on his forehead. He was very worried that Ryan would appear on the Oscar red carpet with this appearance. Will those crazy fans charter a plane to Warsaw and kill Roman? Poland. Ski.
