Chapter 33 Temporary Changes to the Script

The golden sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and a black-backed dog sits peacefully in a corner of the studio. It is Claire's family pet.Only with such a mighty vicious dog guarding a girl living alone can people feel at ease.

Eve squatted on the ground happily petting the dog. She said to the breeder next to her, "I also shot the MV with the black-backed dog last time. I feel so destined!"

Right now, this black back is rolling on the ground with great joy. It is already a veteran of Hollywood. It has starred in countless movies. It is really an acting dog.

The breeder was a little relieved when he saw this. With an actor who likes dogs to cooperate, at least it can save a few NGs.

"Oliver likes you very much. He is rarely so close to others."

Eve found that her role was always inseparable from small animals, and she had a cute blue cat as her partner in the next movie "The Girl Who Moved Soul".

Animal actors have always been uncontrollable factors in shooting, and it is necessary for actors to get acquainted with each other in advance.

The behind-the-scenes cameraman kept pointing the camera at this side, so Eve simply hugged Oliver's upper body and greeted the camera, making her look much more lively.

"Eve, come and try on your costume. The director needs to confirm whether you can really burn electric welding." The staff urged from the side, and everyone was worried about Eve's skill.

"I'll play with you later, bye." Eve touched Oliver's head, then got up and walked towards the workbench.

The props team directly pushed the workbench on their side to the garage of the villa, so there was no need for the scenery at all, and it really looked like a workshop.

All kinds of tools and machines are placed together, which looks very lifelike.

Eve started to check the machines in an orderly manner, and then put on the heavy protective clothing, and her exquisite figure disappeared immediately.

She held the mask in her hand, and said to the onlookers: "Everyone, it's best not to look directly at this side. The welding sparks are very dazzling and will hurt your eyes, especially Oliver may be frightened."

Huang Yiyu's face turned dark, isn't that just the preparation before shooting?The surrounding staff and even the actors all put down their things to watch the excitement, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, it was very lively.

"What are you doing standing so close, stay away!"

The director got angry and the staff quickly evacuated.

Devon Sawa, the actor who played the leading role Alex, silently took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put it on the bridge of his nose. He found that not only was he inferior to Eve in terms of acting skills, but also in terms of attitude.

If my character also needs this skill, will I learn it in advance?

The answer is in his heart.

Eve turned on the welding torch, and clamped the iron bar with pliers with one hand. There were extremely dazzling sparks from the muzzle of the gun, and accompanied by a squeak, the small iron bar was connected to the steel bar.

Even though everyone was prepared, they were still shot by the flames and turned around to avoid it.

Huang Yiyu was obviously sitting on the director's chair, and he was looking at the camera in the monitor. From this position, he could just see Eve's movements, but he felt that the picture should be better from far to near.

There is a saying that the welder has a ball of fire in his hand, and the four seasons are hot and he can't dodge it. Eve wears such heavy clothes in the summer, and she starts to sweat even though she hasn't moved much.

Anyway, it's acting, and the crew didn't ask Eve to really become a welder.

"Okay, Eve, you can take a break for a while, we will officially start filming later." Director Huang Yiyu was quite satisfied with this, he turned his head to look at the professionals in the props team, and asked: "From this angle, her operation Is it correct, and will it make the problem visible to those who are familiar with welding at a glance?"

"No, in fact, this shot is very good, maybe others thought it was a substitute."

"That's good."

Huang Yiyu looked at the camera that had been silently recording tidbits over there. This kind of worry was completely unnecessary.

After the cameraman readjusted the camera position, the film officially started shooting.

This episode was filmed from the perspective of the hero Alex. Devon Sawa walked over in an autumn outfit, and Oliver trotted all the way to meet the stranger.

Eve turned sideways to the camera, and turned off the welding torch when she saw Alex approaching. The iron shelf above the workbench was still glowing red, and it seemed that the temperature was extremely high!

While speaking her lines, she took off her hat and goggles, and let her hair pour down, her movements were extremely natural and soothing.

Devon Sawa looked at Eve, who was killing people with her beauty, and suddenly became speechless, completely forgetting her lines.

The picture just now was so beautiful!

"Cut! What the hell are you doing?" Huang Yiyu roared directly, "Is this shot difficult?"

Devon quickly apologized, "Sorry, I was a little dumbfounded just now. Let's do it again."

She was a handsome welder just now, and she turned into a sexy beauty after taking off her hair and glasses. According to Devon, if Eve's action was filmed well, it would probably amaze the men in the cinema, and even Even the female audience has to be praised.

Huang Yiyu checked the playback on the monitor, and he was also aware of Eve's attractiveness. Maybe this clip will become a common editing material for the appearance of beautiful women in the future!

Eve in the camera is beautiful and moving, different from ordinary vase characters.Welders are basically mostly men, and have always been a profession with the most male hormones, but she just took off her hat and glasses, and she felt like neutralizing the masculinity of a male profession with the feminine face of a woman.

This action was specially designed by Eve, and she was actually imitating the essence of Megan Fox's car repair scene in "Transformers".

The environment and actions of the two are completely different, but they both use masculine scenes such as electric welding and car repair to highlight the charm of women themselves.

This exchange of identity and gender will bring a sense of conflict and conflict, and the contrast will be more intense.

When Eve performed normally, everyone thought she was an excellent actress with a good figure and outstanding looks.Now she is wearing shabby work clothes, her facial features are covered, and she is not attractive at first glance.

But when these restraints were lifted, she felt as if she had broken out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly, and the visual impact was very obvious, which is why the male protagonist in the opposite play was stunned.

It just so happened that the lighting conditions were good, and the sunlight cast light on her body through the gaps in the leaves. Her golden hair was shining brightly, and she immediately felt like a sexy and beautiful woman.

"Mike, take a close-up shot of Eve later." Huang Yiyu didn't want to waste such a good shot, so he told the cameraman.

Mike, who was pushing the camera, made an OK gesture, "Understood!"

After sorting out his emotions, Devin went back outside the garage, ready to shoot again.

After mental preparation, his performance was much more stable this time. Although he is not an acting school, at least he will not be NG, and the dialogue between the two actors can go on smoothly.

"Why did you go to Todd's house last night?" According to the plot, the hero Alex saw Claire outside Todd's house last night, so he came to Todd's house today.

Next is Eve's personal show time. She has practiced this part several times, and it is one of the very few scenes in the film that use long shots.

After hearing Da Wen's lines, her face became extremely solemn. She tightened the gas tank for electric welding and closed it, then took off the leather gloves and threw them aside. Her movements were natural and detailed, leaving no room for death. machine.

At the same time, she didn't forget her lines, turned around and approached the camera gradually, took off the jacket of the protective clothing, and replied: "I know from the TV that the FBI federal agents went to Todd's house, they didn't investigate last night. suicide instead of investigating the plane bombing. They still don’t have a clue.”

Cameraman Mike is in charge of the camera, while the two assistants next to him are slowly dragging the camera back towards the established track, keeping a distance from Eve.

Just looking at her face is enough to conquer thousands of viewers. Now that Eve has taken off the heavy clothes that do not show her figure, she looks youthful in only a gray off-the-shoulder vest. The navel dress that was popular at the end of the century will reveal her small waist Comes out, flat without a trace of cellulite.

In the final analysis, "Reaper is Coming" is a commercial film, and what is needed is a beautiful character. The audience prefers the appearance of beauties panicked under the chase of death.

Generally speaking, women are psychologically mature earlier than men. Claire played by Eve looks youthful and beautiful, but it actually makes Alex, the hero played by Devon, look more nerdy.

A crazy idea vaguely appeared in Huang Yiyu's heart, and he felt an urge to try it.

After filming this part, Huang Yiyu directly called producer Craig Perry, screenwriter Morgan, and art director John Willett aside to avoid the sight of the rest of the staff.

"James, did you call us here for something important?" Craig Perry was a little puzzled. The four of them were the absolute core of "Death Comes", and the whole film was created by them.

Huang Yiyu said very calmly: "After watching these shots, I have a new understanding and opinion on the role of Claire, and I want to revise the script."

"What degree of modification?" Morgan and his old partner who have been working together since "X-Files" pointed out the focus of the problem right now.

Tweaks to the script are normal for filmmaking, but mostly minor.Some directors will increase, decrease or change according to the performance of the actors and the difficulty of shooting.

Now part of the script has been filmed by the actors. For Huang Yiyu, he has a realistic template for the setting of each character in the story, and he can re-perfect the role setting according to the performance of the actors in reality.

If it was a simple modification, it would obviously not be such a big gesture.

Huang Yiyu said amazingly: "I want to greatly revise the script. The role of Claire is a highlight of our movie. There is no need for her to be the kind of heroine who waits for the hero to rescue in traditional horror movies. You have all seen Eve She did a great job, and I hope she can be an independent, self-reliant woman like Ripley in Alien."

When "Alien" was born, the Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver was not a traditional hit girl, but a combination of tenacity, wisdom, bravery, and tenderness.

Being able to get an Oscar nomination for a commercial blockbuster, one can imagine how attractive this character in "Alien" is.

In normal horror movies, women are either victims or perpetrators.

"Death is Coming" is no exception. Amanda had already received a box lunch as a victim before, but according to the setting of the current script, the role of Claire will encounter the danger of death, and it is the appearance of the hero who saved her.

Although Eve's performance has restrained a lot now, she is still very eye-catching, so Huang Yiyu thought of asking Claire to save herself.

A girl who has lived alone for a long time, a girl who can burn electric welding and play with auto parts, her first reaction when encountering danger is to solve the danger, instead of being scared out of her wits and becoming a princess waiting for rescue.In fact, the people are not unified before and after, and the sense of separation is too strong.

If Claire is to become a girl waiting for others to rescue later, then there is no need to use so much ink and film to capture her uniqueness.

"Are you crazy?" Art director John was a little impatient. "The film is still a week or two away from shooting, and now you say you want to change the script? I personally disagree."

On the contrary, the producer Craig became interested. The original script was written by Huang Yiyu and Morgan. They are very good at creating suspense in the ordinary. A movie sets the stage.

Serialization and sequelization are the things that every studio in Hollywood most wants to do. Obviously, the first part of "Reaper" has not been released yet, and he is already considering the second part.

Hollywood does not lack a dodder, and blonde women have become synonymous with meanness and stupidity.Anyway, "Death is Coming" is inconsistent with other horror films in terms of conception, so why not just have a witty and courageous heroine?

"James, if you can hand in the new script tomorrow, I will carefully weigh it according to your new script." Craig has been following the filming crew and knows that Eve has great potential. She is the only character who can be famous.

Huang Yiyu was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Morgan and I will stay up late tonight to write the script, and we will definitely not disappoint you."

Morgan understood his friend's feelings very well. He explained: "Our movie is to present the invisible and intangible horror, which cannot be named or named. No matter how strong the body is, if the mental quality is not good , Carefree in life, may also be harvested by death. On the other hand, women, although they are not as strong as men, but they have a heart that is good at observing, and they can save their lives in the pursuit of death. I think the revision can better show the whole story. Subject."

"I understand what you're talking about, but you have to consider the overall nature of the movie. It's indeed attractive that Claire escapes death by herself, but we don't have much time left, and the content of the later shooting may be different from the previous style." John had to be this Wicked, art direction isn't easy.

Although the producer Craig is anxious about the progress, he cares more about the quality. If the changed movie can really become famous, then everything is worth it.

At the beginning, he chose to believe that Huang Yiyu, a Chinese director, was interested in his ability. Now he has made a final decision: "Whether to change or not to change everything depends on the script. We will study James' new script tomorrow and make a decision."

Temporary revision of the script is very common in Hollywood crews. Several giants of the crew were arguing outside the set, and the actors and staff did not know what happened.
