Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 478 Shooting

On January 25, the movie The Mist officially started.

Based on the consideration that the fat water does not flow to outsiders, many supporting roles in The Mist are selected from caa.

This is a benefit of Lehmann for caa and the cornerstone of the partnership.

Otherwise, if caa is dedicated to defending Lehman's personal interests without asking for anything in return, it will make Lehman feel that they have something bigger.

It is precisely because of this exchange of film and television resources that caa occupies half of the business of economic people.

After all, even if they get a small role in The Mist that may not even have lines, most of the small actors do not have the right to be selected. They can only get opportunities by relying on the platform contacts of major brokerage companies.

Monopoly has always been the right to make rules...

In a courtyard by the lake, the staff were all ready. Lehmann sat behind the director's monitor and made an OK gesture to the screenwriter, and the shooting officially started.

The first scene of The Mist, the first scene,—

The scene record clicked down on the board, and the shooting teams on both sides moved.

In the shot, David, played by Cage, skillfully picks up the paintbrush, selects the color he needs on the dye disk of various colors he holds in his hand, and swipes ink on the canvas supported in front of him.

Soon, a cowboy-like image emerged.

His face is blurred, but the revolver on his belt is clearly visible...

Then, the camera pans to the left, and more paintings that have been drawn are presented under the camera.

This is a long shot of nearly a minute, and it is a test of the team's ability to assist.

However, everyone in this team cooperates often, and everyone has a tacit understanding.

As for Cage, Lehmann did not disappoint. The movements were just right, as if he was a painter who was addicted to painting. Although he didn't have a single line, his rich and natural body movements were unobstructed.

Of course, these required painting props were drawn by professionals, and Cage was just pretending.

And this shot is also an implicit tribute to Stephen King. The backgrounds of several paintings in it are scenes that appear frequently in classic horror novels written by the old man.

Such as Carrie the Witch, such as the twin demons in The Shining...

After Cage put down the paintbrush and got up, Lyman shouted with satisfaction: cut.

Nicolas Cage turned around and asked, How is it? Do you want to do it again?

Lehman gave a thumbs up and praised: No need, it was good just now, and it's hard to get better.

After watching the playback again and confirming that the shots were completely up to standard, and there was no need to shoot again, Lyman clapped his hands and said, Okay, prepare for the next scene right away.

The crowd dispersed, and Mussel Jackson walked in to prepare for the next scene with Cage.

Outside the courtyard, there is a mess, exactly the tragic situation after the stormy night and the strong wind.

In this scene, David and his neighbor, the black lawyer played by Mussel, go to the supermarket in the town to buy some daily necessities.

After such a big storm,

Supermarkets may be sold out.

Although the set team and the preliminary renovation of the courtyard were carried out, it took more than half an hour to arrange the lighting and camera positions.

After filming began again, Lyman focused most of his attention on the debutant, Samuel L. Jackson, who had the most lines.

The image of Samuel is also very different from that of the original Andrew Brower. The black lawyers he created pay more attention to changes in tone, with more rationality and objectivity in temperament, and less complex changes in expressions. Don't use body language to express.

In fact, this is more in line with a highly educated upper-class elite in the script, and the character setting does not need to be exposed when acting.

Therefore, Samuel's performance looks more natural. Even if he is arguing with David over a trivial matter, he tries his best to convince people, instead of shouting and turning up the volume.

However, even if the starring status is hot, there will be various problems during the shooting process——

Cut. After filming for a while, Lyman quickly called a pause.

Director, is there any problem? Just now Musser was speaking his lines, and he asked suspiciously after being called to suspend.

He thought that he had just played with Cage, and he did not make any mistakes.

Lyman shook his head, It's not your problem, keep it up.

After he finished speaking, he looked at a little actor who was stuffed by caa, who played David's wife in the movie.

Are you an outsider?

I'm sorry, Director Ryman, I was wrong. In any case, admit your mistake first, this is the survival rule of young actors in the crew.

Your husband is arguing with your neighbor, do you stand by as if you didn't hear it, and don't care? If the activism is in reality, what should you do as a wife?

The brunette, who was nearly thirty years old, was said to be blushing.

Because there are very few portrayals of such a small role in the script, she doesn't know whether she should add a role or not - doing some actions in unspecified scenes will inevitably attract the camera, and some directors are very concerned about the actors' performance. Did not complete the scene according to the script.

But apparently, Lyman is not.

Although she was told, she explained happily: Should I frown and interrupt later?

Yes, this lady, you should interrupt the conversation between the two of them. Next, let them hurry to the supermarket and advance the plot, understand? Anyway, you need to conform to the attitude of a wife, And your courtyard was destroyed by the storm, your mood should be bad, and your tone should be mainly complaining.

I see, Director Ryman, I'll do it well.

A few more lines were added, and the degree of photogenicity of the scenes was greatly increased, even if they were scolded, they were willing.

After Lyman returned to the monitor, he directed everyone to re-shoot.

The effect this time was much better than the previous one, but it still failed because there was a small problem with the recording work of the crew.

Then again.

Ohio is relatively cold in January, and a group of people left the warm indoors and switched to shooting outdoor scenes.

The cold wind blew through, and there was still a little pain in the face.

It was as if his face had been blown stiff.

But this is the filming routine of the crew.

Filming is often out of season. Filming summer films in winter and filming winter films in summer is normal.

The script can't dictate what season, so just shoot in what season.

Schedule planning is a big hassle, and no crew has the spare time to wait.

The scenes in the courtyard only took 6 minutes, but it took three days to shoot.

On January 28, the crew moved to the supermarket, which is the center of the story...
