Hollywood Hunter

Fox Studios.

The time was already at the end of July. Catherine Bigelow entered a studio in the studio and greeted people who knew her, and quickly found someone who was speaking to Robert De Niro and Janet Johnston. Simon.

Today I filmed the interactive scene between Butch Coolidge and taxi driver Esmeralda Villalobos.

In order to allow the actors to perform without distraction, this episode was shot in the studio except for the beginning and the end. The street view outside the car window in the original film is obviously a big screen projection.

Simon gave Janet the character she likes very much as a taxi driver, and women have been preparing very hard these days.Catherine learned of this and agreed to come here today to see how her girlfriends who had never appeared in front of the camera performed.

Seeing that Simon was busy, Catherine didn't bother to disturb, but just nodded to notice her Jenny's characteristics, she first sat down in the lounge area and chatted casually with the film's producer, Laura Zekins.

Ron McMillan, the producer who worked with Simon in "Rola Run", was sent to be the producer of "The Grim Reaper".In this "Pulp Fiction", Orion Pictures recommended Laura Zegins to come over.

Laura Zegins is a blond woman in her thirties. She had just helped Orion to complete "The Navy Spirit" starring Kevin Costner and Sean Young. This movie will not be released until next month. .

The two chatted a few words, and Simon and Janet came over together.

Embracing Catherine intimately, Janet raised her arms and twirled in front of her: "Kate, how are you?"

Catherine looked at Janet's pajamas with a loose red robe with flower and bird prints and her fluffy and lazy brown hair. She said: "It feels weird."

Janet smiled and shook her body again, revealing a pair of bare nude feet covered with nail polish in moon-white wide-leg pants, and said: "I think so too, but the bastard feels good, then it must be right ."

Seeing that Catherine looked at herself, Simon explained, "Actually, I thought of using pure red. Red represents danger, and, in the spiritual stories of the East, women in red at night are usually not human, and It is a very dangerous female ghost."

Catherine felt Simon's welcoming look, and subconsciously dodged slightly, saying, "Why don't you use it?"

Simon said with a smile: "Because this is a black comedy, adding surreal elements will interfere with the style of the entire movie."

Laura Zegins, who had just stood beside the three listening quietly, heard Simon say this and interjected: "Simon, since that is the case, what is in the suitcase? You have never explained it in the script. What is Jin Guang's thing, it feels as if there is something in it that should not exist in reality."

"This is just an egg left for the audience to guess," Simon shook his head. "Since no one knows what is in the box, it will naturally not affect the plot of the movie."

Several people were chatting. The assistant director came over and said that he could start shooting again. Everyone walked towards a car model in front of the projection screen.De Niro and Janet entered the car and began to bury. Simon rechecked it, then gestured OK to the deputy director, and then operated the camera himself.

This film naturally hired a full-time photographer, but when it comes to Janet's scene, Simon decided to come in person with little consideration.

When Simon is ready, the projection on the big screen and the car model work simultaneously to simulate the state of the taxi.

"Ready for the audience."

""Pulp Fiction", Game 26, the third time."

"!"

The clapper board hit.

In the carriage, Robert De Niro began to tear off the boxing gloves on his hands.Janet in the front row placed her hands on the steering wheel with a little vigilance and curiosity in her expression, her eyes squinting toward the rearview mirror from time to time.

A moment later, Janet used a soft waxy accent to practice for several weeks.

"Sir...hey, sir?"

"Why?"

"Are you right in that boxing match, that boxing match on the radio, are you the boxer?"

"How do you think so?"

"You are him, I know you are him. Tell me, you are him!"

After the camera.

At the end of the performance, Simon raised his head and made a gesture to the crowd: "Card."

Everyone is suspended.

Simon leaned in front of the open compartment and made a questionable look towards De Niro, then said to Janet: "Jenny,'Tell me, you are him', I hope to see your excitement, one A sense of tension that suppresses the madness of the heart."

Janet paused, looked at the rearview mirror, changed her emotions slightly, and repeated the line just now: "Tell me, you are him!"

"It's almost there," Simon shook his head, thinking for a moment, then said, "Hold your breath, hold your breath when you say this."

Janet took a breath and looked at the rearview mirror again, repeating again: "Tell me, you are him!"

"Don't take a deep breath in advance, so that the emotions are inconsistent. Naturally, don't take this as a performance. Remember, you are Esmeralda, a crazy and dangerous taxi driver in her heart. Then, suddenly I met a boxer who just killed his opponent with bare hands, and you were deeply inspired by evil. You became very curious about the feeling after killing a person, so you questioned Butch," Simon lowered slightly Some voices described the moment in a bewildering manner, feeling Janet gradually integrated into certain emotions, and finally raised her finger to De Niro in the back seat, saying: "Look, Ace, he is the murderer."

Having said this, Simon retreated to the camera again.

"Ready for the audience."

""Pulp Fiction", game 26, fourth time."

"!"

In the compartment, De Niro, who was sprayed with sweat again, began to tear the glove on his hand again.

Behind the crowd, Catherine watched the scene quietly.

The fourth time still failed, Simon stepped forward again, patiently pointing at how Janet should perform, and occasionally without hesitation learning the voice of a woman to show Janet personally how Esmeralda spoke.

then.

Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...

Simon kept shouting'CUT', and at the same time pointed impatiently at Janet without any impatience. There was no other mania of the other directors after many mistakes.Janet also made irresistible adjustments according to Simon's requirements time and time again, which seemed extremely submissive.

It's just that there has been a little bit more madness in this obedience.

After nearly two hours, Catherine watched quietly for two hours.At a certain moment, Catherine suddenly felt that these two people were probably going crazy.

This group of shots that began shooting at one o'clock in the afternoon is still boringly repeated until after get off work hours.Feeling a certain investment in men and women, none of them offered to leave work.

Until seven o'clock in the evening.

The projection on the big screen lights up again, and the car model starts to run at the same time.

Inside the carriage.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, the woman with a fluffy brown hair sitting in the driver’s seat seemed to be listless, and the soft down hair also added a bit of a flamboyant and lazy breath to the woman. A pair of eyes are still bright, with a look in his eyes. Curious, the whole person is like a dangerous cat that may pounce on its prey at any time.

at this time.

Everyone on the court felt that this was Esmeralda, a taxi driver with the same name as the heroine of Notre Dame.

Glamorous, charming, with an accent, soft and sweet tone, but all over him is suppressing a danger and madness that may burst at any time, as if a sharp blade will be pulled out in a blink of an eye, a few pokes on a living person A blood-spattered hole.

In the lens.

The woman slightly lifted her chin, her eyes were not smart, but the state of full drama integrated into the character made her have some kind of mysterious attraction, and even overwhelmed the two Oscar film emperors sitting in the back row.

"..."

"..."

"So, Esmeralda, what do you want to know?"

"I want to know how it feels to kill someone?"

"I can't tell you. If you don't say it, I don't even know he is dead, how can I tell you what I think. In short, I'm not guilty at all."

"..."

The thirty-first performance ended.

The projection is still playing, the model is still running, and the two people in the carriage are all immersed in the character. Although they are silent, they each maintain their own state.

After a moment.

Simon finally looked up and shouted: "Good."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and could finally get off work.

Everyone started to clean up the scene quickly. Robert De Niro got out of the car, took the towel from the staff and wiped his body, spraying'sweat' repeatedly. His boxing shorts were all soaked at this time.Inadvertently turning his head, De Niro noticed that Janet was still sitting in the carriage, completely meaningless.

Soon everyone noticed Janet's strangeness, and Simon stepped forward as soon as possible.
