Chapter 19: Williams director
"I don't like you, Mr. Williams." Taking her daughter to the bathroom, sitting on the opposite side of Eric John Aniston slightly squinted.
Eric was a little speechless and could only shrug his shoulders: "I can know why, John?"
John Aniston said: "For so many years, Jenny has been hating me in my heart. I am also very embarrassed about the things of the year. I always hope that she can forgive me. She called me last night, you know? She is the first I took the initiative to call me, I almost jumped up with joy. The reason why my daughter called was actually to let me help her boyfriend, the guy who might take my daughter away."
Well, this reason is very strong, the daughter is the father of the past life, this sentence is not to talk about it, usually, the relationship between the father-in-law and the son-in-law is not very good.
Eric could only shrug again, and the two men suddenly fell silent.
Aniston quickly returned from the bathroom, smiling and sitting next to Eric, and the appearance of relatives made John Aniston even more uncomfortable. However, it is not easy for her daughter to take the initiative to reconcile herself. He will not be stupid enough to be on the spot.
Under the reconciliation of Aniston, on the surface, this meal was quite enjoyable. John Aniston had just taken the elder’s shelf and dropped Eric’s words such as a high sigh, and her daughter’s anger’s eyes came over. Finally, John Aniston still promised to help Eric contact the actors as much as possible.
With the help of John Aniston, who has a wide network of people in the TV circle, Eric quickly found an actor for most of the characters, and because John Aniston used it to mediate, the pay was not high, which made Eric Very relieved.
Only Marvin of the thief duo, Eric had some hesitation on the list of candidates, until Aniston brought his classmates and friends to Eric and looked at the face with natural decline. Just a little try the mirror, Eric set the board, because this guy is called Matthew Perry, one of the six people in the past "Friends."
Then Eric and Jeffrey Hansen flew a few miles to Canada, and finally found the location of the Kevin family in a small town, busy day and night, so Eric lost a week. A few pounds, I know that Aniston is both distressed and envious.
On October 17th, after the re-emergence of Eric, the first director's work was officially launched in Los Angeles. The crew sent several people to choose the good Canadian town for the Kevin family set. Most of them stayed in Los Angeles to shoot the airport and police station. Things like snow scenes are not needed. After all, here is the world's largest film base, and it is much easier to shoot.
The entire crew, from the lighting division to the actors, basically looked at the face of money and Jeffrey Hansen and John Aniston before they agreed to the filming of the film, although I was worried about Eric. But my heart is not without my own thoughts. In the words of Eric’s past life: In case of accidental fire?
They have already learned about the content of "Little Ghosts", and I am glad that this young and over-excited director has not played as deep as other young directors, so I feel that the possibility of success in "Little Ghosts" is still relatively large. The cost of shooting for a million dollars depends on Eric’s aura of “returning to seventeen” and “Jurassic Park”. Maybe it’s a small profit, and Eric is at boot time. Maybe, if the movie makes money, it will give you extra dividends.
After all, he provided a job opportunity for the team left by his wife. After the film was started, Jeffrey Hansen appeared on the crew every day. Originally, Jeffrey wanted to rely on his years of experience for Eric. This 'newbie' offers some help. But one day later, Jeffrey began to doubt life, and God is really unfair.
Eric didn't have the first time to guide the film. From the moment he started, he was like a director with many years of shooting experience. He systematically discussed the placement of props with the set designer and discussed it with the photographer in very professional terms. The next shot, commanding the lighting engineer to play the effect he wants, patiently telling the actress who plays Kevin's mother more than ten years old...
Of course, when some shots have been mistakenly made, they also show the talents of the director's unique talent: the director's roar!
"Ms. Leslie, I want a doubtful expression, doubts, not curiosity! According to my observation, you must have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, then this expression should be easy for you. Imagine you lying at night. On the bed, I think the door may have forgotten the anti-lock, the kitchen faucet may have been dripping, but you are not sure what went wrong, so I fell into the feeling of conflicting emotions, imagine these scenes. Oh, damn, we can only I rented the plane for three hours, three hours, well, all the staff prepared, come again. Nickel, do you want to see the clouds in the sky through the titanium ceiling of the plane, give me a little more, FUCK!"
Due to the excellent performance of Eric before, the crew members basically recognized Eric's directorship in a short time. So when Ms. Leslie, who plays Kevin’s mother, was on the plane, thinking of the repeated mistakes of Kevin’s forgotten scenes at home, Eric’s anxiety caused by the filming plan was disturbed and she could not help but roar. Everyone unwittingly forgot the age of Eric and became chilling.
When the 30-year-old photographer named Nickel Frank was reprimanded by Eric, he completely forgot that the young man in front of him was an 18-year-old boy who subconsciously apologized: "Sorry, director Williams, I will pay attention."
Many years later, Nickel Frank, who won the best photography of Oscar, stood on the podium of the Kodak Theatre. The first sentence was to recall the scene at this time. He said: "At that moment, in my subconscious, I completely Rick became an authoritative director, not an 18-year-old. He seemed to be born to lead the entire crew."
After another NG, the lens finally passed, and Eric also breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately regretted his own gaffe and took the initiative to apologize to Ms. Leslie. "Sorry, Leslie, I just got the tone." Some are heavy."
"It doesn't matter, director Williams, it's really that I didn't do well. The apology is that I am right. It's fascinating to say that you just got angry."
"Amount..." Eric wants to remind her that you are a precursor to Stockholm syndrome and need treatment.
In the next few days, Eric found that the crew members who had directly called him Eric changed their name unconsciously and called the ‘Williams director’, even Jeffrey Hansen. He knows that this is the performance of the crew members who fully recognize his director from the bottom of his heart. So he commanded the crew to become more like an arm. In just four days, the crew completed the Los Angeles scene and all went to the Canadian town.
Before the crew had sent several staff members to set up the Kevin family, although it was only conducted by telephone, Eric saw the layout of the apartment, he was very satisfied, and he was determined to stay with Jeffrey’s wife. This team is under the arm.
No one has ever filmed this movie in this small town in northern Canada, so the residents in the town are very enthusiastic and curious. Eric has not come yet, and many people have already asked about the work that Eric has sent. Can a person be a guest of a small role or something. Moreover, because of the Christmas scene, all the residents in the town took the initiative to dress up their homes. The whole town seemed to be full of joy in Christmas.
In the face of this, Eric certainly wants to reciprocate, and generously invited several children in the town to make guest appearances in the movie.
The main shooting in the town is the life of the young protagonist Kevin and the process of spoofing two thieves. As a pure Christmas comedy, the film does not need any connotation at all, just need to be funny. In addition, Stewart's performance is much better than the previous Macquarie Calkin, the shooting process can only be described as fast, Eric determined that within a week, all shots can be completed.
Another thing happened during the period. Penny Marshall, who was nervously working in Los Angeles at the age of seventeen, needed Eric to dub some of the footage in the movie and suddenly found that they could not find Eric. The phone didn't pick up, went directly to Eric's house and closed the door. This made Penny Marshall even have some bad associations. When I was about to report to the police, I learned about the whereabouts of Eric by Aniston. .
On the phone, Penny Marshall was very complaining that Eric had to go back to Los Angeles within a week. In addition to the dubbing of the film, the propaganda work of "Returning to Seventeen" was inseparable from Eric's participation.
Of course, Eric’s filming of “The Little Ghosts” is naturally exposed. In this regard, Penny Marshall naturally like the elders, criticized Eric's words such as high and high, but also did not care too much about Eric's film, she is not like the staff in the Eric crew. It is natural to feel that this is just a young man’s work.
Eric, who is in trouble, is basically two people with reality. Although he is good with the people in the crew, it is only the case. However, Matthew Perry, introduced by Aniston, will be close to Eric from time to time and chat. Eric was also very interested in Matthew Perry, but at this time his goal of completing "Little Ghosts" was above all else, and of course there was no chance to meet with Matthew.
A week later, the film was successfully smashed in the town, because the reasonable planning of Jeffrey Hansen and Eric has only spent more than 600,000, and there are more than 300,000 US dollars left. .
So Eric made a big party in the town and invited the crew and everyone in the town to have a night out. The next day, when many people were still in a hangover state, Eric had already taken the film back to Los Angeles with the film.
It took half a day to complete the dubbing of "Returning to Seventeen", and Eric plunged into the late studio introduced by Jeffrey and began a mad job.
In the past few days, Eric has basically worked more than 16 hours a day. It took only five days to complete the post-production work of the film in the eyes of everyone. Because everything in my mind is ready-made, Eric can do everything so quickly. It took only less than a day to cut the speed of all the shots perfectly, so that the editor who matched him now looks at his eyes full of worship.
Five days later, in the morning, a simple auditorium with only five or six seats crowded more than a dozen people, most of whom were the crew members of "The Little Ghosts". Aniston also came to watch the director of Eric. A virgin woman.
In the slight beating of the projector, the film officially began in the blue silhouette of the next moonlight house...
