Hollywood legendary director

With the preparation of "Furious" on the right track, many things require his personal participation as the director. During the day, he was busy and exhausted. At night, after a heavy sleep, he will become a vigorous man the next day. Then it is squeezed dry...

This is repeated, again and again.

It was not until July that the weather in Los Angeles began to get a little hot. Lehman, Ryan, Thomas, the set crew and the Kanjing crew and Jonathan Gavin, a representative of the guarantor, drove together to California and Nevada. A wilderness area at the junction, to investigate the location needed for the first stage of shooting.

Two commercial vehicles parked on a hillside and a half, Lehman got off the car, walked to the top of the slope, glanced at the very wide wilderness field not far away, and then looked around. The excess weeds and other things were also cleared long ago. pass.

"Edward." Lehman greeted the group leader of the setting group and said, pointing to the slightly low-lying field in the west direction nearby, "Is it possible to arrange the location of the Allied troops there?"

"It's okay to set up the scenery. We have cleaned up the surrounding area. When the time comes, we will press out a few driving marks in advance, sprinkle some water, set up some tents, and make them manually." Edward said confidently.

"That's good."

There are several main outdoor scenes in "Furious", the battlefield where the Allied and German forces encountered several head-on encounters, the logistics stations of both sides, the small towns hit by gunfire in Germany, and street and street fighting.

Don’t worry too much about the next few places. Because of the film arrangement, it is estimated that it will take another month before the crew will fly to the UK and Australia for location.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to film the literary drama and part of the story that happened in the first half of the march.

Next, the group began to discuss the specific layout of the Allied camp and the surrounding environment and terrain, such as the direction of the opening of the camp, the planning of the area, the arrangement of the troop rest tent...

These are all very rigorous and specialized knowledge, and Lehman, a layman, doesn't understand it. Of course, the people in the set and props team don't understand it. This requires the use of military consultants to command on the spot.

Although the content of the film depicting war themes is false, he does not want the film to have common sense setting and props errors that are laughable and generous. He should restore the entire battlefield factors as closely as possible.

In short, the more realistic the better, and this is the effect Lehman wants.

Until the sun began to go west, the field trip was almost complete, and the relevant requirements were also communicated in place. Lehman and his team drove back to the Warner Studios in Los Angeles in two more commercial vehicles.

As he passed the gate of the studio, Lyman suddenly saw an acquaintance.

"Hi, Eva, why are you here?"

"I'll try on the clothes to see if they fit." When Eva Green saw Lyman, her eyes were beaming with joy.

She just finished the fitting and was thinking about finding him, but she didn't expect to meet him when she left.

"Thank you, Lehmann, for giving me such a chance to perform." Eva said sincerely.

"Um...you're welcome."

A small character who can show his face is only a few points better than the dragon set. If it weren't for Eva Green to come today, Lehman would have forgotten that he had arranged it during the audition.

After all, "Furious" is a real male drama, not to mention the female lead, there is not even a high-grade female lead.

What Eva Green got was the only character with a face shot among the people who fled after the war, and the other was a baby, expressing cruelty.

War, whether you are a woman or a child, is treated the same.

But Eva Green thought otherwise, she was very grateful.

That night, I was thinking of showing closeness, and maybe it would be helpful when I returned home, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly and so suddenly.

Even if it's just a small role, it's an investment of 50 million U.S. dollars, which is unimaginable to her.

"Go to my house for a cup of coffee? It's almost evening." Eva Green offered to invite.

Hey, what do you mean nonsense as a woman? It was obviously just after 4 o'clock, and the crew did not get off work. It was almost night.

"Sorry," Lehman naturally knew what would be waiting for him after agreeing. He was not stupid. He couldn't hear such obvious hints. Although it was a bit tempting, he still shook his head firmly, "I will have something to do later. , I have to perfect the shooting plan. I can’t spare time. Next time.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Eva Green's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll be in an appointment next time."

After speaking, he turned around politely and left Warner Studios.

Lyman looked at her back, shook his head, and continued to firm his mind.

Tired to be exhausted, and to work at night, there are ten kidneys, which is not enough.

People, when they are young, they don't pay attention, but when they are old, they can only be sorrowful.

Remember, remember!

Lehman, who had experience, came back to life, and wanted to make a good movie, soon joined the crew without hesitation.

He really didn't care about things like small characters.

In addition to beware of CAA's desire to pack and intervene to reduce his power and prestige in the crew, the rest, basically similar situations, were arranged.

What's the matter with reasonable use of resources for people close to you? This is in Hollywood.Oh, no, it's normal in the entertainment industry all over the world, and Lehman is quite unaware of this.

The same goes for Lara Heath Ledger as the recruit Norman.

Using acquaintances and acting well enough for the role, why not?Had it not been for Amir Khan's appearance to be too different, Lehman would have thought of giving him an important role.

As a director, who doesn't have his own queen team, even the crew of the crew can cooperate for a long time.

These roles are not too important and can show their faces, and they should not be too suitable to be given as a favor.

In life, who doesn't have personal relationships, just like Lyman did to Eva Green, some characters also have human relationships in it.

For example, the candidate for the commander of the German army is an actor recommended by Sandy, and the commander of the Allied army is a French actor named by George. This is also a tacit understanding of everyone.

Anyway, these characters who show their faces but are not prominent in the scene and do not affect the overall situation, the Serbian relationship is often the most important.

Although this is the case, there is one item that everyone will actively follow. No matter which actor enters the crew through whose relationship, it is affirmative that it meets the basic requirements and image quality of the character.

If a beautiful actress does not have acting skills and does not meet the role setting, no matter how hard she works, it will not help. Even if she barely squeezes in, she will be temporarily replaced by the director or producer.

This is the fact, is there an unspoken rule, which industry does not?It's just that the entertainment industry is the most popular.

But this kind of favor transaction is also carried out under the default rules of the parties.

Besides, it really doesn't work, a hard fortress, you will definitely lose more than you get.

A production project with an investment of 50 million US dollars has a huge flaw in its role or simply caused a failure. That kind of responsibility is not something everyone can bear.

If you don't weigh it up a few times, it is estimated that you will not stay in this circle for long.

The audition results for those roles, Lehman and George, Sandy, and even the guarantor representative Jonathan Gavin, are all recognized.

Don't really try, who knows if you can do it.

Even the specially approved Heath Ledger has changed into a special costume later, played against it, and tested his acting skills.

Not to mention the actors who are involved in relationships, they have all been tested.

In fact, Lehman tried hard to invite Nicholas Cage, not because he also valued his strength. He has more than ten years of experience in film shooting, especially war-themed dramas. There are several movies in total. For the "sergeant" The role can be described as easy.

Newcomers are not unavailable, but it depends on the specific situation.

Let’s talk about Eva Green, her acting skills are young, but she also has some foundation. It is far from the amazingness of the later generations of "Paris of Opera". It is only a few years away, and the distance has been widened. It can be seen that tempering is indispensable.

Entering the set, the heads of all departments of the crew are busy. When the actors who have been sent to the Marine Corps barracks for special training have finished their training, the preparatory work must be done.

Otherwise, the shooting schedule will be too delayed, and maybe there will be delays in the plan.

If you want the shooting to go smoothly, the preparation work cannot be too labor-saving.The more time it takes, the more perfect it will be, and the better it will be then.

After Lehman finished the discussion with Ryan and Sandy, he went to look at the work in the clothing department and told him twice that after meeting the shooting needs as soon as possible, he went to see the progress of the props team.

Blank bombs, tracer bombs, gunpowder and several fairly complete tank originals were neatly stacked, just waiting for the start of the shooting.

"When will their tanks, weapons and various equipment arrive?"

They are naturally referring to the army.

"Some of them have already been transported to nearby military bases. When the shooting work is needed, communicate in advance and they will be transported."

"Please keep in touch, don't delay, the crew will have a demand right away, let them prepare as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will supervise the related progress more."

"That's good."

"..."

As night fell, the crew of the crew began to leave the Warner Studios after finishing their day's work.

After Lehman finally instructed the person in charge of the relevant department, he also returned to the hotel.

Soak in a hot bath and then lie down on a comfortable big bed.

After a while, I fell asleep.

He is really tired and really wants to rest.

Oh good night...
