[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Chapter 110 A Smell of Vinegar

Almost while filming, Martin and the screenwriter team are still modifying some details-and his team is not surprised by this. The royal team of 30 has been completely accustomed to Martin Scorsese's behavior.Even if you call for a finale and move things to the editing room to cut the film, you may find a shot that is not pleasing to your eye, so you will be called back to re-shoot.

Martin is not the only director in Hollywood who is so maverick. The more famous and award-winning directors are, the more they cherish their feathers.Just like actors who have won Oscars will choose their future scripts more carefully and strictly, they are afraid that the next work will bring them back to the past, so they will be more strict with themselves.It's impossible to just win the Oscar, turn around and bring back a golden raspberry, right?This is simply tantamount to self-defeating.

Both parts of the film needed to be shot in Boston, Massachusetts, and most of the rest could almost be done on location in New York.The tasks of the past few days were relatively easy, at least Vincent was relatively easy--the gang boss Frank who was Colin's "adoptive father" and Colin's colleagues, and finally Madeleine played by Vera Farmiga, the only actress in the film.

Now is the break time, and the scene that will be prepared later is the scene where Colin meets Madeleine for the first time in the elevator. The two fell in love at first sight.Vincent took advantage of the rest time to prepare for the next intimate scene, at least something about cleaning his mouth.

"You didn't have a shooting mission in the afternoon, why are you here now?" Vincent looked at Leonardo who was standing aside and looking around, shaking his prop folder in front of his eyes slightly, "Why are you in a daze?"

Leonardo held Vincent's wrist reflexively, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

Seeing Vincent nodding without doubt, Leonardo pursed his lips, "Are you with Black?"

Vincent flipped through the script, and casually replied, "Not yet, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

A certain person was overjoyed, but the depression that followed immediately covered up the slightest bit of joy, "I just remembered it suddenly, so I asked casually. Besides, didn't I have a good date with her before..."

When Leonardo said this, he felt sour in his mouth.He turned his face to look at the young man in a dark suit, his blond hair naturally stayed where it should be.The young man didn't look so ugly because of this slightly short, short hairstyle. On the contrary, as early as "Sweet 16", Vincent was already known because of the short to close to the scalp up.

The current appearance is more like what Vincent should look like when he is more mature three or four years later, with a hint of rebelliousness in his elegance.Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, anyone who faces such a man will want to conquer him.In addition, he also hoped that only his own figure could be reflected in the other party's blue eyes.This desire to conquer and possess is tormenting Leonardo almost every day, and he can't be satisfied with the position of a friend at all.

"I'm very happy, but this thing has to be done step by step, right?" Vincent took a sip of water from his cup next to him, but he didn't rush to swallow it. He held the saliva in his mouth and grunted twice before Swallow it. "Too impatient will make other girls feel that they are not taken seriously, and the South is too impatient. I think it is better to take things slowly."

He drank the water in the glass in two or three sips, and when he was done, he stretched out his tongue and quickly licked the edge of his lips, and said with a little hesitation: "I actually prefer to be more traditional, she is still young, and I don't want to just because of myself Some selfish desires made her compromise for me..."

Hearing this sentence, Leonardo felt very uncomfortable. He tried his best to suppress his restless heartbeat, trying to swallow the sentence that was stuck in his throat - it doesn't matter if you are young, but I am willing to compromise for you ah……

"Of course, she has the ambition to be an actress. I don't think it's a wise choice to expose her to the media and the public at this time." When Vincent mentioned Blake, the girl automatically appeared in his mind She always has a sweet and beautiful smile. "Actually, no matter what you think about these things, the result is the same. I don't think I will be able to stabilize before the age of 30."

When this sentence was heard in Leonardo's ears, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.Although Vincent was talking about Black in every sentence, but he had to "check his seat".

Vincent is too young for himself. The ten-year age gap is not the main problem of not being able to develop a relationship, but the existence of such an age gap is indeed an obstacle to the relationship between the two.Vincent is still at an exceptionally young stage, but he is almost 32 years old. An ordinary adult man may already have a two- or three-year-old child at this age.

Another aspect of Vincent's words also made Leonardo feel that "the road ahead is bleak".

Due to the fact that all the people Leonardo has dated with are all insiders without exception, and they are all "famous". Maybe it is because they are famous, or because they are called "Leonardo's gossip". , "Leonardo's girlfriend" and became famous.

But now judging from Vincent's attitude, he seems to want to hide the relationship even more.It's like the outside world can only know that he is in love, but can't get more detailed information.Those parts will become part of Vincent's privacy, including what kind of person his girlfriend is and how they get along...

To be honest, just thinking about this kind of thing is enough to make people feel pain in the heart.He used to be blindly romantic and happy, and when he really started to fall for a relationship, he could realize the feeling that nothing had actually developed, and his whole body and mind were being led away by the other party.

Leonardo looked at the lime at the bottom of the glass, and couldn't help but look dark: This is obviously to prepare in advance for the later scene!For a moment, he didn't even know how to continue chatting with the other party.Is it a sweet date with Blake, so I can talk about my previous experience picking up girls?Or talk about the affair between each other?Like Jack and Ennis?

Vincent looked at Leonardo who was inexplicably silent again, and couldn't help but think of the state of the other party who had already entered the scene before he walked into the camera when he was shooting, and was quite worried—Heath Ledger was too involved in the scene The result is that he directly wants to "do the fake show for real", so if Leonardo is too involved in the play, maybe he wants to fight with himself?

Before he had time to think about it, the scene management began to rush. After the scene was set up, the next scene was about to start shooting.

Vincent had already matched up his lines with Vera Farmiga in advance, and the two looked at each other and smiled, waiting for Martin to start.

This scene is the first time Colin and Madeleine met. In the elevator, the two young people just looked at each other. Colin is a very good seductress master, although he was later "killed" by Billy Put on a green hat.It’s true to say that when Madeleine decided to move to live with Colin, the two had basically confirmed each other—but in this case, Madeleine still had a relationship with Billy on a rainy night .Even later, he deceived Colin that this was his child...

To be honest, in this place, the screenwriter's handling effect is actually very obvious with a hint of evil and dark effects.Unlike the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", the women of Colin and Billy are two separate and independent women, each with its own personality and charm.It can also be regarded as the spiritual and life salvation of Colin and Billy respectively.

In "The Departed", the screenwriter chose to combine the images of the two into one female psychiatrist who has emotional entanglements with the two leading actors, which actually implies the entanglement of the fates of Colin and Billy.

The young man who had just rushed back to the police station from the crime center stepped into the elevator and pressed the floor button with the number "5".There were not many people in the elevator, and he could still have a lot of free time after he stood still.Withdrawing the hand that pressed the button, Colin glanced at his right hand side by the way—a very iconic and elegant woman.

Obviously, the other party also noticed Colin's gaze, and the two's gazes met almost without any suspense.

"Are you a jerk?" Vincent is tall and slender, but he put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned his head to the right to look at the young woman who was only as tall as his ears. This action made him look a little bit elegant One button of the shirt was unbuttoned, just because of the sideways movement of the head, revealing a distinct line connected to the collarbone.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, "Have I met you at work?"

Colin lowered his eyes and replied with a smile: "No, but I know you."

Under the slightly surprised eyes of the woman, the young man said indifferently: "Those who shot at work have to have a heart-to-heart talk with you." And doubt, she had clearly made a good first impression of the young man.

Colin said, shaking his head slightly: "No, no, I know you are really a mental health expert."

Madeleine, who was overjoyed by the praise, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Yes, I have an appointment on this floor."

While speaking, the elevator had already stopped, and Madeleine's destination had already arrived.

"You will be very happy, this floor is full of weirdos." Colin still locked his blue eyes gently on the woman.When the woman was about to step out of the elevator door, he added: "I have to go up one more floor."

"Oh, the police."

"Yes, I'm a state trooper." The elevator door was about to close completely, Colin stepped forward and pushed the elevator door open again with his palm, "Yes, besides, I'm still in law school."

Colin blocked the closing of the elevator door with one hand, and just leaned against the edge of the elevator door, talking to Madeleine who turned around again, and the two of them were obviously unwilling to leave each other.

"Go to night school?"

"Yeah, Harvard doesn't offer evening classes. I checked last time."

"When was the last time you checked?"

"Before I went to fucking night school."

"Cut——" before the scene was completely over, Martin called cut, and he called both Vincent and Vera to the camera, letting them see their performance just now.

"Vincent, you should be more open-minded. The scene just now was a little too restrained. The perfection of Colin's resume is inversely proportional to his heart. He is actually a person who is extremely lacking, so you have to understand Madeleine better. The meaning of Colin's appearance to Colin. Although this is Madeleine who Colin took the initiative to flirt with, in fact, if Madeleine does not release that kind of 'goodwill', Colin will not make fun of himself, his condition wants What kind of woman are you looking for? You have to rethink the look in your eyes just now, and it will be the same in the next scene..."

"Vera, don't stop looking into Vincent's eyes just because he's too handsome." Martin didn't save face for the actress either, "Maybe you don't know that you've just been suppressed as if you were on the set for the first time. A rookie in acting?"

"The blank part of the script is for free play, but I didn't see any of your characteristics, which disappointed me, Vera. Don't waste your talent and your advantages, let alone blind me The setting of Madeleine given. Your expressive ability is far from matching your real ability."

After the director scolded both of them, the scene started again.This scene in the script is just three sheets of paper, even if it is made into a movie, it will take less than one minute.With Martin Scorsese's attitude of excellence, no one in the entire crew is willing to let himself be the one who drags his feet.

"You were not bad at that part just now." After this scene was completely over, when the staff began to set up the scene for the next scene, Leonardo pulled Vincent to the seat in the rest area to rest for a while. "To be fair, I think this movie can, to a certain extent, completely dispense with female characters. Wouldn't it be better to make it a real man's play?"

Vincent squinted at Leonardo, "Men and women work together and are not tired."

A certain popularity knot: "A good two-male-lead man drama, a group of rough men is enough, what kind of actresses do you need!"

Although Martin's requirements are strict, his actions are not only responsible for the efforts of the whole team, but also his confidence in his own works.

Adapted works still have a way to survive in Hollywood, but on the Asian side, they are almost facing a storm of pressure.Remakes have to accept more evaluations and doubts from beginning to end. If the filming is good, it will be overwhelmingly praised;In this way, the gap between the remake and the original will become more and more obvious.

That being said, remaking and buying the right to re-adapt the script are two different things. The most obvious difference between "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs" is the name. The two focuses are different, and the content is even more different.

But now that there is no news to spread, there are constant media from the outside world who want to get close to the filming area to get news, even though they are all stopped and refused to enter.But it was precisely because of this damn sense of mystery that outsiders couldn't stop.Check out the lineup and don't tell me you don't want to know a little bit about Martin's new movie?
