Chapter 960: Entering method
The day after the celebration party of "Beverly Girl" and "Desperate Housewives", although it was Sunday, Eric had already begun formal preparations for the start of Iron Man.
The film will be filmed from the cave scene after Tony Stark was kidnapped.
The interior of the cave is completely built in the Firefly Studios. Even the short-range exterior shots, planned, will only be shot in the mountains of eastern California. It can be said that in addition to booking the Las Vegas Caesars Theatre, the whole movie, others All scenes will not leave California.
This can also be used to the maximum extent of Eric's other work schedules. Although everyone hopes that Eric can freely put everything into the movie, everyone knows that this is not realistic.
Firefly Studios, time finally came to the first day of the official launch of "Iron Man".
Hollywood movies don't have a serious start-up ceremony. Eric feels that this should be a big reason why most of the crew members have completely taken filming as a daily job.
The Hollywood film industry system is very mature. Most of the crew members, like other office workers, work eight hours a day, nine nights and five hours without special time, so they won’t have a movie. Great feeling.
In the huge studio No. 7 in the studio, because of Tony Stark’s kidnapping in the cave, the number of people involved in the filming is not too large.
Director Jos Verden and the photographer, the lighting engineer and others discussed the first scene of the film that was about to be filmed for a while, and then it was the two actors who were playing the game.
Dr. Ethan, who was kidnapped with Tony Stark, is Ed Harris, an old Hollywood actor who won the best supporting actor with Apollo 13 two years ago. Nomination.
At the beginning, together with several high-level fireflies, Eric personally played Tony Stark, but when it came to the end, Jos Veden gave birth to a lot of pressure, and even faintly regretted the original decision.
Compared with Eric who has created a series of box office miracles, he can only be regarded as a rookie director.
Jos Verden can even feel that the attention of many staff on the field is on Eric.
Obviously, in this studio, Eric said that one sentence is definitely more useful than he said ten sentences. The same is true. This morning, many of the firefly group executives who knew that Eric would play Tony Stark personally and other messy people ran over the excuse of visiting the class to see the excitement. Those who came first were bigger than one. Jos Weeden thinks that one can't afford to offend, but Eric has driven everyone away in one sentence.
"Jos, are you going to shoot?" Seeing Jos Weiden coming over, Eric, who was sitting in a folding chair, took the initiative to stand up and ask.
Eric naturally can feel the pressure of Jos Weiden, but he did not speak out, but only took the initiative to express his respect for his director's identity through some small details.
During the film preparation period, Eric has already recognized Jos Weiden's shooting concept. As long as Jos Weiden does not suddenly change his style during the shooting process, Eric intends to focus on his own actor. It is possible not to interfere with things other than your own authority.
Eric’s initiative to get up and let Jos Weiden unconsciously relax a lot and nodded: “Yes, Eric, there is already ready.”
Eric handed a hard-skinned notebook in his hand to Caroline next to him, saying, "Let's go."
In the plan, the first scene was filmed by Dr. Ethan to Tony Stark.
Caroline looked at Eric, Joss Weeden and Ed Harris to go to the shooting scene, just holding the hard-shell notebook that Eric had just handed her to stay in place, and did not follow the past.
Melanie carefully walked in from the outside with a coffee pot and saw the crowds that had already started busy. She quickly stepped up to Caroline, dropped the coffee pot and looked at the crowd not far away, curiously asked. : "Is it going to start?"
"Yeah," Caroline nodded, standing for a moment, and the girl sat down again, but her eyes still did not leave Erik's figure not far away.
Melanie also sat next to Caroline, seeing Eric take off her coat and lying on the operating table with her bare upper body. She couldn’t help but say: “BOSS is awesome and I want to touch it.”
Caroline glanced at Melanie, but her own face quickly became red, worried that Melanie would see her expression and quickly turned her head away.
Melanie didn't notice Carolyn's expression changes, still looking at the busy crowd, and said: "I have to say that BOSS black hair looks more mature."
In the West, blondes are often seen as silly and sweet representatives of low IQ. Similarly, blonde men are also the object of ridicule by many people, which also causes most males with natural blond hair to dye their hair dark. In Hollywood, this is more common. Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Walker, Chris Hemsworth and other male stars are actually blond, but people rarely see them keep the original. Hair color look.
Eric's hair color is also golden, although this will make him look more green, but he has never thought of dyeing hair.
In the early years, some media occasionally made a few jokes about his hair color, but now, everyone is accustomed to Eric's personal image, and no one will talk about it again.
In order to play Tony Stark, Eric finally changed his hair color. Tony Stark’s standard beard style is also sticky. Because of the cleanliness, Eric usually does not have a beard, at most Some shallow moustaches.
Therefore, after Eric completed the makeup, the image appeared very different from the past, saying that it is not an exaggeration for two people.
Although most people can recognize him at a glance, this huge contrast in the image also makes him play the role of Tony Stark, not because his face is too famous to bring drama to the audience. sense.
Carolyn saw a propsman applying artificial plasma to Eric's chest. He couldn't help pinching the notebook in his hand. He loves clean people, and he will definitely feel bad.
A hand waved in front of her, and Caroline regained her eyes: "Mei, what happened?"
"I have been watching, have you heard me talking?"
Caroline blinked and nodded. "I heard it, but Eric said that he thinks blonde hair is not bad."
Melanie suddenly laughed and reached over Caroline, pinching her little chin on her tip and saying, "Little fool, he likes a woman blonde."
"It's not, they, they are probably not blonde."
Melanie looked at Caroline and said that she had lost her face and sighed. She took the notebook that Eric had just taken from her hand and said, "Hey, let me see what BOSS has written."
This notebook is Eric's entry tool.
Whenever they have time, he will record the details of Tony Stark's character, behavior, language and other details in his mind, and occasionally use the first person to conceive a dialogue or write a diary.
Carolyn and Melanie, as Eric's personal assistants, this notebook is not a secret to them, Melanie is more interested in Eric's brainstorming.
Just opened the notebook, Melanie heard that Jos Weiden was not far away and announced the sound of the boot, and quickly looked up and could not help but stand up with Caroline.
After playing the game board, a drama quickly walked away from the camera.
A few square meters around the operating table, surrounded by five or six actors and photographers, lighting engineers, sound engineers, the two women can only see the Erik lying on the simple operating table through the crowd gap Figure.
Melanie and Caroline both helped Eric to cross the line, and naturally saw the complete script. She was in Hollywood for a long time, and the two women were not the first to watch the actors.
In this scene, Eric should be crying out in the script. Melanie did not hear Eric's voice. I couldn't help but think that BOSS must have been performing for many years and could not be opened in front of so many people.
Although she often ridicules her own boss, Melanie is only a standard knife and mouth, and she is still worried that Eric will perform.
I thought that Jos Verdon would soon hear the sound of the 'card'. However, in a blink of an eye, a dull and painful cry began to burst out like a wounded wild wolf in desperately hit the cage. Roaring, it seems to want to break free.
"what--"
Caroline only felt that her heart had tightened in an instant, and she took a step forward and almost rushed over. Melanie was also shocked, but she remained clear and reached out to grab the card next to her. Lorraine.
Inside the scene, several extras who played as terrorists saw Eric’s eruption and began to struggle with his hands and feet. They were all a glimpse, or Eddie Harris’s experience on the spot was more abundant. He quickly shouted: “Hold down, Hold him down."
The extra actor reacted, and quickly pressed Eric's constantly struggled hands and feet.
Not far from the director's monitor, in less than a minute, Jos Weiden's mood was continuously ups and downs several times.
At the beginning, Eric performed silently on the operating table. Although the body language was excellent, but there was no sound, it gave him a similar idea to Melanie, thinking that Eric had not acted for so many years, and some did not let go. Open, if it is, it is a big problem.
The most basic thing to be a good actor is to liberate nature. Even if the character is a dog, the actor needs to be barked without hesitation.
If Eric is constrained by the pain, it means that his actor's nature has been closed. Now that the film has started shooting, the crew has no time to give Eric a few months to liberate nature. If it is another actor, and then meet a director who will adjust the game, perhaps you can force the actor's performance potential by means of rebellion and coercion.
But, really, this whole Hollywood, who the **** dare to play with Eric Williams.
Subsequently, Eric erupted like an injured beast. Jos Weiden almost fell into the bottom of the valley and was suddenly thrown high, his eyes staring at the monitor screen, his face showing a relieved expression.
Think about it again, Tony Stark was lifted onto the operating table in a coma, and the body was unconsciously twisted after being stimulated. It broke out in the pain of surgery and fear. All this makes sense. It can be said that Irene Ke's understanding of these details is more than his director.
In the final analysis, Jos Verden has to admit that he has held some faint prejudice from the beginning, thinking that since Eric has reached the peak in the direction of the director, there will definitely be problems in acting, so the scene just slightly Deviating from his own imagination, he thought that there was a big problem.
Realizing this, Jos Verden couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He saw several extras in the monitor who started to feel overwhelmed by Eric's outburst, and couldn't help but erupt the emotions on these people. A group of idiots, a perfect shot, is so ruined.
When Eddie Harris shouted ‘press and hold him’ in English, Jos Verden had to call the card immediately. Eddie Harris's reaction was fast, but he forgot one thing. The characters around him are Afghans, how can they communicate in English.
When I heard Jos Verden yelling ‘card’, everyone stopped with relief and the scene was just too much for everyone’s expectations.
Jos Weiden came over and saw that Eric had sat up and asked, "Eric, how is it?"
Eric saw the propsman take a towel and tried to wipe the artificial plasma on his chest. He quickly took the towel and wiped it. The propsman was a man. He poured blood on himself and he was not used to a male creature. Wipe your body.
The crowd spread, Caroline and Melanie also came over, Eric gave the towel to Melanie naturally, and the female assistant reached out and carefully helped Eric clear the flow behind her. Blood stains.
Let Melanie wipe the artificial plasma on his body, Eric nodded: "Not bad, what about your side?"
Jos Weiden nodded. "Good, but you may have to converge a little. Just everyone was scared."
When everyone heard Jos Verden say so straight, everyone laughed.
Eric also smiled and said: "Okay, I try to be, this is just the first shot. We try it a few times."
Eric is Hollywood's best director, and Jos Vadden certainly doesn't think he can see where the problem just happened. However, Eric did not blame a few extras for making mistakes, which made Jos Weiden breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this is actually the power of the director.
A little bit of letting go of all the scruples in the heart, Jos Weiden began patiently giving several groups a speech about what they need to pay attention to, and let the language experts temporarily teach Eddie Harris a few words of Afghan. carry on.
