[US Entertainment] 1994

Chapter 118 Filming in progress

"God bless, this scene passed safely." After the filming of a scene, Jane Debonte breathed a sigh of relief, and producer Mark Gordon shrugged: "Jane, you are so nervous, it's unbelievable!"

There was a wry smile on the corner of Jane de Bont's mouth: "I don't want this either, but Mark, you know... this is an important movie."

Mark Gordon shook his head lightly: "That's right, whether it's for you or me."

Jan de Bont, who was born as a photographer, almost bet his future career on this fast-paced movie, and although Mark Gordon will also be in charge of such big productions as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Grey's Anatomy" in the future producer, but now he is just an unknown producer.

The importance of "Life and Death" to them is self-evident.

Even though [-]th Century Fox didn't think it was a movie worth pouring their energy into, Jane de Bont and Mark Gordon never thought of giving up.

Josh wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waited for the next game in a comfortable mood.

"Your condition looks very good, Mr. Director can finally rest assured." Sandra Bullock took out a bag of potato chips, unsealed it, and handed it to Josh. "He's going crazy during this time."

Josh took the bag of potato chips: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's [-] times more exaggerated than you think."

Josh said helplessly: "He can rest assured, I'm back intact."

Considering Josh's injury, the crew has been filming the scenes after Jack got into the car in recent days. Josh changed his clothes and turned his head to look at Jane Debont one after another.

After receiving Josh's eager gaze, Mr. Director couldn't help shaking his head slightly: "The filming has started!"

Sandra Bullock gets in the cab: "I've got to stop the bus."

"No, keep the speed above 50." Josh roared loudly.

"But Sam got shot!"

"You slow down and this bus will explode!"

The movements of all the passengers in the bus stopped for an instant. Josh put on the handcuffs and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible: "There is a bomb on this bus. Once it slows down, it will explode. If anyone gets off the bus halfway , it will also explode.”

"Nonsense, what, are you kidding me?"

Josh walked from the back of the car to the front: "Miss, can you drive this bus?"

"Of course, it's like driving a big Ford."

"I just want to know if you can drive a bus?"

"Of course, of course, of course, tell me your plan."

"As long as the speed exceeds 50."

"Good plan."

Both Josh and Sandra Bullock are experienced actors, and the two cooperated very well. They didn't need Jane de Bont's guidance at all. Very quickly, this scene was successfully filmed.

Josh and Sandra Bullock high-fived: "Good cooperation."

After Josh returned, the filming of the crew transitioned to a stable state, and the things that worried Jane de Bont did not happen in the end. Josh not only completed all the shooting excellently, but also surprised Jane de Bont in the action scenes.

"Josh, you tell me now that you are an action actor, I won't be surprised at all!" Mr. Director patted Josh on the shoulder vigorously, "That's great, kid!"

"Thank you, Mr. Director." Josh squeezed his muscles and smiled with satisfaction.

…………

"I heard that you have become a muscular man?" At night, just after Josh took a shower, the manager's noisy phone call came in.

Josh rolled his eyes: "Tell me, Arnold, how many people did you buy off the crew?"

"If you're going to go after each one, poor Josh, let me tell you the truth, you won't find that man even after the movie is done."

"..." Josh sighed, "Actually, you are not an agent at all, but an agent of the CIA, right?"

"It seems right to say that." Arnold laughed "hehe" on the other end of the phone, "At least I have all your movements."

Josh: "So you didn't realize at all that your laugh is very similar to the old witch in "Snow White"?"

"Josh Walter, your agent is doing his best for you, and you are here to break his heart?" Arnold coughed lightly, and changed into a serious tone, "When will the filming of "Speed" be finished?"

Josh flipped through the script and frowned: "It will take about three to four weeks. If there are no accidents and Mr. Director speeds up the progress, it should be finished within three weeks. What's wrong?"

"Awards season, Josh, I've been with you for two years, don't you have any ideas?"

"Of course there is—"

Arnold smiled lightly, and seemed to be able to see Josh's eyes suddenly brighten on the other end of the phone—this is why he was full of energy as an agent. There seemed to be no shortage of hope when working with a guy like Josh, even He is also several years younger.

"Spielberg movies, good test reviews, great characters... Don't you want to reward yourself with a trophy as the year goes by?"

"Think." Josh lay on the bed and said slowly, "I really want to."

Arnold continued: "The awards of various film critics associations are already warming up. Professionals are very optimistic about your performance in "Schindler's List". If you work well, maybe you will have a statuette. Imagine you stand On the podium, with a heavy trophy in hand, I would like to thank my parents first, and then my manager..."

"Stop it!" Josh hugged the quilt tightly, "I want to go to Los Angeles to meet Mr. Spielberg now, Arnold, don't tempt me!"

For actors, statuettes are simply drugs!

Early the next morning, Josh really suffered from insomnia, because during the phone call with Arnold, Josh dreamed of golden statues, and he devoured all the statues like a snake, one after another, and then he He turned into a golden monster—appeared in the storage box of the bank, and the staff took a cutting machine to cut his balls...

With two huge dark circles under his eyes, Josh appeared on the set weakly. Due to lack of sleep and nightmares, his footsteps were a little flimsy, causing his co-star Alan Luke to glance at him several times, and finally couldn't help it. Zhu asked, "Josh, what did you do last night?"

With dark circles under his eyes, Josh moved his neck with difficulty: "I was thinking, why is the golden ratio the most aesthetically meaningful number, and which retarded person proposed it?"

Alan Luke: "..."

? ? ? ?

A long time later, when Alan Luke accidentally saw an article written by an expert on the relationship between the sex life of a couple and the golden ratio, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and showed a clear smile.

Although Josh was ready to be ridiculed, when No.20 kindly reminded him that he was as cute as a panda today, Josh couldn't help feeling deeply resentful towards Mr. Manager.

He was pitted too badly.

"Josh, cheer up!" Seeing Josh's decadent look, Jane Debonte waved his arms, "Be a man!"

Josh said helplessly: “I’ve always been a man.”

After changing his shirt, Josh stood in the middle of the shooting site. The black eyes under his eyes were completely covered by the makeup artist. After Jane de Bont announced the start of shooting, he immediately got into the shooting state.

A passenger died at the bottom of the car, and the atmosphere in the car gradually became dull. Everyone was silently waiting for the death to come. The ladies couldn't help crying, and the men broke out in quarrels.

And Jack couldn't do anything about it.

He could only persuade Annie silently.

And after this scene, a speeding scene is about to begin.

"There's a gap in the road, 50 feet, a mile from here."

When everyone was in panic and fear, Jack bit his lip and clenched his fists: "Press the accelerator to the end!"

"Everyone try to hold on tightly, when you hit the gap, hold your head down..."

"that's it?"

"That's the only way we can."

Under Josh's interpretation, Jack's voice was extremely calm, and it seemed to have a comforting power. He even uncuffed the guy who was locked up: "Hold on tight."

Finally, the gap was close at hand.

Josh's forehead gradually had beads of sweat, and he shouted: "Everyone, hurry up!"

The moment the car was about to fly by, he subconsciously hugged Annie's body.

Of course, in the actual shooting, it is absolutely impossible to have such a magical picture of the bus flying through the 50-foot gap-the special effects are only done by the driver, and other actors complete the filming of this scene on another brand new bus. Even with experienced drivers, the use of dedicated high-occupancy lanes, and the removal of non-essential parts from the body, the scene ended with the total destruction of a bus.

When Tom Cruise was filming the "Mission: Impossible" series, he climbed the Burj Khalifa alone. Josh thought that he might never be Tom Cruise.

After the scene ended, the temperature dropped, and Josh stayed on the set for another three weeks. The filming of the entire film officially ended before he returned to his house in Los Angeles.

After filming the two movies "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Speed", Josh's skin was completely darkened by several shades, and his body gradually showed strong muscles. He couldn't help it after getting up and before taking a bath every day Standing in front of the mirror and taking pictures ten times and eight times, I feel that I can't be more handsome.

After a few days of rest, Josh woke up from his relaxed state and prepared for the rest of the awards season.

He hoped that "Schindler's List" could bring him the statuette he had dreamed of, and Josh didn't think it was delusional, he was very confident in his performance, even if the statuette didn't want to favor him, Josh would fight Do your best to win a trophy that belongs to you.

Steven Spielberg and the crew of "Schindler's List" are already doing the public relations of the awards season, and judging from some of the news they released, Josh found that he had become an award season actor before he knew it. popular candidates.

That was enough of a surprise.
