Hollywood legendary director

The makeup is done and the face is oily.This is to simulate the sweaty makeup on the face of Paul's face after he was abducted and awakened, rather than the real sweat on his face.Realistic, after all, is completely different from the needs of filming.

Heath Ledger sat quietly beside the crew, alone, holding the script scene to be shot next.

He is not an actor who can quickly bring the emotions into the role. He knows what he needs and how to make up for it.

In order to play Paul well, he did enough homework.

Write character biographies, design characters’ living habits and small actions.

The script is full of comments made by him.

Even in order to find the feeling in the dark, he endured all the physical discomforts and tormented in the bathroom all night until dawn, and he could no longer simulate the scene.

Although he is not the crazy clown in later generations at this moment, he is willing to endure hardships, he is willing to work hard, and he is willing to ponder the meaning of every emotional change.

He studied experientialism, so when he walked out of the bathroom overnight, he grasped that feeling.That kind of suffocating oppression.

Heath Ledger slowly closed his eyes and let his brain empty to meet the fear in the darkness...

"Lyman, are you ready?" Ryan asked casually, looking at Lyman sitting behind the director's camera.

"Have you arranged everything as required?"

"Yeah." Ryan, who is a scene affair and a scene keeper, is responsible for the entire operation of the crew. In this regard, he has a great say.

"Wait for 3 minutes and start."

......

Three minutes passed in a flash.

As Lehman waved his hand, Ryan took the clapperboard and officially played the board, "action--"

In the coffin glowing with fire, the surroundings are quiet.

The cameraman Cullenman-Subbot lay on the sand, with his shoulders against the camera, shooting close-up shots from the outside perspective.

Another camera fixed to Heath Ledger's waist and abdomen captured close-ups of his face.

Under the shroud of orange light, a man in a pale green short-sleeved gown, with a gray head and an embarrassed face.

The camera lens shot his eyes, close-up.

Under the panic, thoughts and memories were revealed.

He is an ordinary land contractor, and he is also part-time transportation.In order to make more money, he ran to the Afghan area, where supplies are in short supply and it is easy to make big money.

But why he appeared here now, such an unclear environment.

Slowly, Paul pieced together the clues he knew, and he became more and more disturbed and panicked.

Anyone who is trapped in such a cramped and maddening space does not know the reason, it will be like this, besides, the mobile phone only has a weak signal and the battery is not much.

He must find a way!

In the lens, Heath Ledger began to hit the inner wall vigorously with his hands, and even hit the top with his head to make a sound.

Obviously really hit!

His forehead was a little blue, and the instant pain made him lie flat in the coffin, breathing violently.

Thomas lay on the other end of the sand pile, holding a long pole in his hand, with recording equipment hanging from it.He heard the sound clearly from the outside, and in his heart he also admired this ruthless man. He really didn’t take his body seriously, and he just had to hit it lightly to perform that kind of feeling, but still Strive for truth.

So even though his posture was extremely strenuous, especially uncomfortable, even his hands were numb, he did not shake the front-end recording equipment to avoid imperfect sound effects.

The sweat fell drop by drop, the whole body was sticky, but he didn't dare to move.

He is just an intern. He has to intervene in any dirty work in order to be his cameraman.He really wants to be able to control a camera like the crew of the cameraman Cullenman Subbott, which is what he has been longing for for so many years.

At noon, the sun outside was still violently casting flame magic, and everyone around could see Thomas flushed, his teeth clenched, but his body remained motionless.

Lyman also noticed, but he said nothing.Everyone in the crew is suffering, just to shoot every scene well. If so many people brave the heat wave and stick to their work, all of their work will fall short.So he turned his head away cruelly and focused on his directing work.

The funding is limited, and there is no way the shooting environment is not good.

Under the camera, Paul half stood up again, the lighter in his hand steadily releasing light...

"Crack!" This sound was like the sound of nature, Thomas could finally move his stiff body, but he still remembered to handle the radio equipment safely.

Ryan glanced at Lehman and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the shot, so he hurried to the coffin prop and lifted the actor Heath Ledgerto.

Katie, the makeup artist next to her, also took out the dry towels and mineral water she prepared in advance and sent them over.

If all the crew members are tolerating the high temperature, Heath Ledger's environment is undoubtedly even worse.

In order to create an atmosphere of underground darkness, in addition to leaving a dark hole for breathing in his coffin, the long wooden box outside must be sturdyly enclosed, just to block light.

So in just such a short time, his body was soaked with sweat, and his face looked better because of the treatment, but it was also extremely unbearable.

Think about it, in a confined space with no sunlight, the outside temperature is extremely high, plus the physical strength required to strike the coffin.As soon as Heath Ledger came out, he quickly took Katie's mineral water and drank half of it.

"Wipe it." Then he handed the towel in his hand to Heath Ledger, and the makeup artist Katie continued: "In the next scene, you will have bleeding marks on your forehead, and you will use a tighter material to stick to your forehead. There, to prevent the fake wound from being washed away by sweat, you must pay more attention and don’t touch it with your hands."

"Well, I see." Heath Ledger replied silently.

In order to better reflect the anxiety and madness of the protagonist Paul being trapped underground, and to present better visual effects, Heath Ledger’s impact force just now is actually not enough, at least bleeding is enough. Of course, this part is left to the makeup artist. It can be done. If you really want to bump and bleed, you may have to take it to the hospital. Maybe it's a concussion.

"Director, is the camera okay?" Thomas also wanted to come over to know the results of his labor after setting up the radio equipment.

"Very good, the effect is very good." Lyman smiled on his face and gave a thumbs up.

"Huh, that's good." Thomas's tone was hopeful. He was really working hard just now, and he also yearned that the fruits of his labor would not be wasted.

"Can I see the shot just now?"

"of course."

While Thomas was watching the captured footage, Ryan ran over and said, "It's noon. Let's shoot after dinner."

"Good." Lehman was very satisfied with so much harvest in one morning.

Can't you become fat with one bite?Take your time.

After Ryan notified the crew, everyone sorted out the shooting equipment and props, locked the warehouse door, and all went out for lunch.

Working hungry will definitely affect the shooting progress, so don't worry about it at this time.

Lunch was eaten in a small restaurant nearby. Ryan had already communicated with the restaurant owner. After going there, they were also prepared.

The shooting budget is small, and if you want to save some flowers, then eating is naturally not luxurious.

However, it is enough to eat after all.

A generous portion of toast, jam and butter are also available; there is also a chocolate bread similar to doughnuts, and the store also prepares a lot.

Nine people each get a large plate, which is definitely enough.

As for the common meat and vegetable salad, I didn't dare to eat it because I wanted to save money. It would cost too much for nine people to eat it.

But no one complained. After today's filming, they all knew the actual situation of the crew. It must be that the wealthy cannot go there.

Otherwise, you won't be shooting in a broken warehouse, at least in a studio?The scene design and environment there are better than this kind of almost open air.

"Are you still used to eating?" Sitting at a small table, Lyman said while eating with Heath Ledger, who was also enjoying the lunch bread series opposite, "No way, the budget is tight, and the conditions are not good. "

Heath Ledger looked at the large chunks of toast on the plate, without raising his head. “It’s enough to have enough food. My original life in Australia is not as good as this.”

"Aren't you American?" Lyman was startled.

"No, I was born in Australia. Later, in order to be a better actor, I went to the United States to seek development opportunities. They have a lot of opportunities, much better than my hometown."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Lehman really didn't know this. The resume he gave was also marked by the American Screen Actors Guild, and he thought he was born and raised in the United States.

"Then why did you come to France? I mean, the distance between France and the United States is still quite far. How could you think of running here to participate in our film project."

Heath Ledger’s lips wore a wry smile, "A little actor like me, in the United States, there are no one hundred thousand and eighty thousand, you know, before I received your movie project, I had several There is no definite job to do in May. I like acting, so when I saw this message in the union that day, thinking of luck, I came over."

Lehman was even more surprised after hearing this. Can such a talented and hard-working actor not get a role? The competition pressure in Hollywood is so great?

"I think you are great, you will succeed in the future."

"I hope so."

His confidence is not as good as Lyman's opinion of him.

The silence between the two gradually became silent, but occasionally they would chat with a few polite words.

Speaking of appreciation, Lyman naturally feels this way, but he doesn't know where his own prospects are now, let alone what promises he has given. It is an irresponsible performance.He just silently recorded this person in his heart-Heath Ledger.
