Chapter 710: How much torture have I endured along the way?
A deal with the Oakland Raiders was quickly reached. For this reason, Duke temporarily handed over the filming to Anna Prinz, took two days to go to San Francisco, and signed a share transfer with the original shareholders of the Oakland Raiders. Agreement, thus becoming the new owner of this team.
However, the team cannot relocate to Los Angeles immediately, and will still stay in Oakland this season, and a series of plans formulated by Duke will not be implemented until the end of the season.
The focus is undoubtedly on Tom Brady, for whom Nancy Josephson is taking the lady route, encouraging Tom Brady through Gisele Bundchen.
It has to be said that the power of the pillow wind is very powerful in many cases.
After the Oakland Raiders were settled, Duke returned directly to New Mexico. Tom Cruise, who had left before, also returned to the film crew. After all, he is not the director of Mission: Impossible 4, so he does not need to participate in the entire pre-production of the film.
Tom Cruise's return on time also allowed Duke to continue filming according to the established plan.
After Alessandra Ambrosio became the first character sacrificed by War Machine and left the crew, before Christmas, the crew created an artificial swamp and began filming Ferosa and his party falling into the swamp shot.
Of course, this small artificial swamp is just for show, and the range is only a few hundred feet. The relevant panoramic images are mainly generated by CGI. He is not so paranoid and crazy to shoot in the swamp.
Attention all departments...
In a puddle, Duke stood on a specially erected platform, raised a loudspeaker and shouted, Start now!
Tom Cruise was on one knee next to the rear of War Machine, holding a rifle. After a few seconds, the trigger was pulled, and there was a crisp gunshot...
Beside the front of the car, Adriana Lima turned her head and reminded loudly, You only have two bullets!
Ignoring her words, Tom Cruise just looked back. Aiming and shooting again, Charlize Theron frowned slightly, gestured to Adriana Lima, handed her the pistol pointed at James Franco in the driver's seat, and signaled her to continue such work with his eyes, With two straight long legs, he strode over.
Give me the gun! she said to Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise looked up at her. Replied, Okay.
With that said, he handed the prop gun to Charlize Theron...
Seeing this, Duke felt something was wrong, not because of the performance of the actors. It was the setting of the script. He stood up from the director's chair and shouted directly, Stop!
Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise stopped performing. At the same time looked over.
It has nothing to do with you. Duke gestured to them, It's about the script.
He jumped off the platform. Regardless of the mud on the ground, he walked over, circled around Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, and said. Remove the lines just now.
Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise looked at Duke with a little surprise. They didn't have many lines, and there were really not many words that were removed.
Your characters are all reticent people who prefer to take action. Duke said briefly, You have already fought side by side, and the trust built in this way is far better than words.
He said to the two men, Do it again as I said.
Shooting resumed when Duke was back behind the director's monitor.
Just like last time, the actors who have found the feeling of the role did not make any mistakes. Charlize Theron walked behind Tom Cruise again, just gestured for a gun, and said nothing, Tom? After Ruth handed the gun to Charlize Theron, he knelt on the ground and did not move, but made a shooting stand for the rifle.
Don't breathe.
That's all Charlize Theron said, took aim, pulled the trigger...
Her neatness can only be described as handsome, and at this time, the absolute trust between the characters shown by Tom Cruise is also worthy of recognition.
Very good! Duke shouted, This one is over!
Just like the character itself, Charlize Theron walked to the rest area in silence, and immediately a makeup artist came over to touch up her makeup. Nancy Josephson, who just rushed over from Los Angeles yesterday, stood beside her.
Is everything going well? Nancy asked.
Charlize Theron can be said to be the ace actress of her agency.
If I didn't take this role, I would regret it to death.
After the makeup artist walked away, Charlize Theron said, I didn't realize how brilliant and amazing this character is until now...
Speaking of this, she looked at Duke who was directing the crew to prepare for another scene, I realized that under his indifferent appearance, he has always cared about me and gave me such a role.
Nancy Josephson couldn't help showing a wry smile. From what she knew, things were definitely not as Charlize said, but this role was suitable for her, it was just that simple.
But she didn't say anything, because Charlize went on to say, When I saw Firoza, when I saw the fire and sand reflected in her rock-solid eyes in the script description, you must think, gender is What a boring classification!
In recent years, there have been a lot of powerful female characters on the screen. They are all sexy, glamorous and have high combat effectiveness. Some of them may even beat men into dogs or play with them in applause. A bit of disdain appeared on her face, However This level of character creation is pale and exaggerated compared to Duke's portrayal of Firoza!
People like Charlize can be described as a typical feminist. Sexy and strong women who can fight are not the best interpretation of feminism. Feminism is that everyone is equal, and the ultimate goal is to make people ignore gender when making judgments. I think , no matter if it is a man or a woman, there is only one emotion in my heart when I come into contact with the role of Firosha - respect!
Seeing that Charlize Theron looked at Duke gradually with fanaticism, Nancy Josephson naturally thought of Scarlett Johansson. There is always a bias in people's hearts, she can't be biased towards Charlize, said deliberately , I saw that the filming was not much different from Duke's other films. They were all action scenes one after another.
This is a motorcycle chase, we can't stop, we will die if we stop, Charlize looked away, and said to Nancy Josephson seriously, Then let them stop to have sex, or Falling in love? I think the audience will be immediately discouraged for a second?
The deep disdainful expression appeared on her face again, Unfortunately, many filmmakers feel that fighting and love can have both.
Charlize put away the expression just now, and put on an inexplicable tone, Duke's setting for this film is great, the luxury of having a romantic relationship never exists! I mean, Ferosa and Tom Can't talk at all. Me, Duke and Cruise never talked about it, it never existed! No one said 'maybe', they were always just battle partners, didn't look down on each other when they first met, End with the highest respect for each other.
Nancy couldn't help being silent. She is also a woman who has been troubled by gender and has seen scripts, scripts and drawing boards. Just like Charlize said, this is a very wonderful movie.
Why is there no love scene for the beautiful and tacit understanding between the hero and heroine? That's because the character is plump enough and there is no need for superfluous love lines!
The friendship between two fighters fighting shoulder to shoulder is enough.
Let’s just talk about the part of the filming just now, the actor gave the last bullet to Firoza, who took the rifle and put it on his shoulder, said calmly, and then broke the gun decisively and succeeded in a critical strike. Very calm.
Charlize Theron turned to look at Nancy Joseph, her eyes gradually sharpened, and with her intelligence, she could always see something.
She raised her chin slightly, and said with a bit of pride, I used to like Duke very much, and I still do now, but you don't need to remind me that he didn't choose to be with me before, and he won't in the future.
Nancy remained silent. Even though she was an agent of ICM, it was not the best choice to refute at this time. It would be absolutely stupid to intensify the conflict with a top client like Charlize, and no agent would do that.
And I won't choose him. Charlize Theron said directly, Do you think he will give up Scarlett Johansson and choose me instead? Hmph...
She shook her head and smiled, I'm not an idiot!
Today's Charlize is no longer what she used to be. She has been a first-line superstar for many years, just like other stars, she will naturally form her own pride.
Nancy Josephson nodded slightly, and understood what Charlize meant, if she could still get together with Duke, unless Duke gave up on Scarlett Johansson and turned to pursue her.
But based on what Nancy knew about Duke, the chances of this happening were infinitely low.
Ultimately, it is actions that define a person.
Charlize Theron knew this very well. Sitting in her chair, recalling her experiences over the years, she couldn't help feeling that she was very similar to Firoza.
She has experienced hardships since she was a child, she has been promoted step by step through hard work, and the time is ripe to pursue the freedom she yearns for... To make such a move requires great courage and firm will, not to mention that she has come to where she is today through tempering!
Climbing from victim to winner, how much torture did she endure along the way, just like Ferosa?
Charlize has become one of the top stars in the circle, and what's more, she doesn't want her presence to just add a romantic relationship to which man.
On the other hand, Duke was still busy filming, and deliberately removed some personal political satire in the lines written by the screenwriter. (to be continued ^)
