Hollywood legendary director

Starting from signing the contract, he went to the Marine Corps barracks for special training.

Nicholas Cage has been purposefully growing his hair and beard, and he also regularly gains weight and exercises.

Compared with the first time, he has gained more than 10 pounds of muscle, his skin is a little darker, and he looks very strong.

These changes and efforts in appearance are naturally aimed at better performing the image and temperament of the character "Sergeant".

After some dressing up by the makeup artist, his face was black and the clothes he was wearing were old and sloppy.

The hair is messy and greasy, and the face is dark but spirited. This is Nicholas Cage's new appearance and looks quite good.

But before taking a while, I was called to stop.

The sun was shining, and it was at two or three o’clock in the hottest afternoon of the day. Nicholas Cage was wearing a thick tank uniform and fully armed. After a while, he felt his whole body hot out, and the sweat on his forehead was even more intense. The tick tick is like a light rain.

Of course, he is not alone in the heat, and the brothers in the tank are no better than him.

Sitting in an iron melting pot, feel that for yourself.

"Then go over it again, pay attention this time."

Nicholas Cage watched Lehman's command and returned to the monitor.

The soldier in charge of driving the Furious tank sat back in the driving position and began to control and return to the original position where he first approached.

"Re-arrange the set and start again in ten minutes." Lehman returned to the monitor, picked up the megaphone and shouted.

The scenes and group performances that I have just experienced are under the leadership of the crew, and they start to stand again.

Alas, no way. I made a mistake the first time I started shooting. Lehman drank the water and thought a little depressed.

It’s not that the actor has a problem, it’s not the setting, or a series of problems such as props, group performances, and scheduling. Rather, it’s that the service soldier driving the tank has a problem. Up.

But there is no way, it has to come.

After all, the only soldiers who can drive the tank are the soldiers supported by the tank unit. Otherwise, you can't let Trini Garcia drive it.

Trini Garcia is the actor responsible for driving the tank in the movie. However, he is only asked to sit in the driver’s seat when he needs to show his face. The rest are all soldiers driving on behalf of him. Similarly, when the artillery is fired, There is also someone to act as a stand-in.

After all, it’s a war movie, but you can’t really ask a few actors to be able to level a Sherman tank.

After 10 minutes, the shooting started soon.

The military vehicle roared into the camp. A tank followed. Nicholas Cage sat on the top of the tank outside with his butt half butt looking around, but his expression was calm, matched with blood-stained clothing. Inexplicably revealing a heavy atmosphere.

Lehman stared at the picture coming back from the monitor. When the No. 2 camera hung on the high rail in the center of the camp captured the Furious tank parked in a clearing, Nicholas Cage jumped and landed smoothly. , There was still no expression on her face, but her eyes began to sharpen...

"Cut—" Lehman nodded in satisfaction, and continued to pick up the speaker and shouted: "This one has passed, the transition, ready to shoot the next one."

The scenes that have just been carefully planned out with time and effort are often just for shooting these minutes or even a few seconds. After Lehmann ordered, the crew began to get busy again.

While the sun was still in sufficient light, the crew on the set tidied up the shooting site at their maximum speed, and then rushed to the other side of the camp, ready to shoot the scene reported by the captive and recruit Norman.

The setting team, the props team, and the photographers and field staff are leading people to do the final finishing. The actors who have just finished filming quickly got out of the tank and walked to the shelter to take a rest.

Some of them were busy drinking water, some were busy blowing air and taking off their clothes, and a few undressed naked men sat on chairs, each cooling off.

Heath Ledger, who was waiting on the side, hurried into the vanity car, began to figure out the image and change clothes.He just didn't have a role, this scene requires him to play.

The scene was quickly set up, and Lehmann greeted Nicholas Cage and others a few times, and then he was busy explaining to the crew a few things to pay attention to in the next scene.The photography, lighting and other departments also started to get busy in accordance with the pre-drawn sub-shot effect script.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. When the makeup assistant came to inform and said that it was done, Lehman hurryed to give a few words to Heath Ledger in the makeup car.

"Norman is a communications soldier, and he has not been in the army for a long time, and he has not touched the frontal battlefield..." Lehman said concisely: "He is a young man, but he is not timid."

"I understand." Heath Ledger had just put on his makeup at this time, wearing a "big dog hat" on his head and a camping bag on his back, looking quite silly.

"Take out your good state during the audition and try to get it all at once."

"I will."

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Ryan ran over to remind him: "Lyman, we are almost ready to shoot."

"Okay." Turned around and said to Ryan, and then turned to Heath Ledger: "Get ready, it's going to start."

The three of them walked towards the arranged venue, and Lehmann began to carefully examine the situation of the set planning.

After confirming that there was no problem, he found Sandy who was communicating with the group of prisoners and several allied forces.

"Hey, man, how is it?"

"Don't worry, it's okay," Sandy said, patting his chest.

In the following scene, several Allied soldiers were beating German prisoners, and they happened to be seen by the commander and Norman who needed to fill their positions.

Just now Sandy also ordered several group performances of the assailants and the group performances of being beaten up, and they all close their hands.

It feels like a real beating, but in fact the person who was beaten doesn't hurt much.

This can be regarded as a technique, and it requires the tacit cooperation of the two groups.

Of course, no matter how fake it is, it will be strong, and if you use your strength, you will inevitably suffer a little skin injury.

Therefore, the salary of the group performer when the captive was beaten will be doubled, which is a disguised compensation.

In fact, many war dramas like to talk about how to treat prisoners preferentially, but Lehman is different, it is to make this scene more audience recognition.

After all, the two sides had just fought a battle, and the Allied companions didn't know the number of casualties, so how could it be possible to treat the captives fairly.

If you are captured, you will be merciful if people don't kill you.

Also give preferential treatment, who will give preferential treatment to the enemy, saint?

After telling this, Lyman watched Heath Ledger stand up.

The temperament on his body also showed a sense of immaturity, his eyes looked right and left, his hands tightly grasped the strap of the camping bag on his shoulders, and there was no more calm demeanor.

After giving a thumbs forward, indicating that he is doing well, Lehman turned back to the monitor and motioned to the side note with his eyes.

"Action——" As the clapperboards collided with each other, there was a clear sound, and the shooting began.

A muddy truck steadily parked, the door was pushed open from the inside, and an officer dressed up took the lead to get out of the truck, followed by the recruit Norman played by Heath Ledger. , Jumped down.

Thomas immediately switched the camera and gave Heath Ledger a full-face close-up.

His clothes are very clean, the helmet on his head seems to be a bit untimely draped on top of his head, and a large bag of the same height is slung on his shoulders behind him. He wears gloves on his hands and looks around. This kind of temperament is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

It was as if a husky had been mixed into the wolf pack.

On the other side, the commander who got out of the car a long time ago patted Heath Ledger on the shoulder and said, "Come with me, I will take you to find your chief. You will follow him in the future."

"Oh, I see." Heath Ledger, who was photographed with a somewhat unstable body and standing, responded quickly, but his eyes were still floating around.

The two began to walk deep into the camp along the flat ground in front. From time to time, soldiers stopped to greet the commander.

As we approached the southeast corner of the camp, we encountered three Allied soldiers escorting the German soldiers who had just captured them towards the prisoner-of-war camp.

The three Allied soldiers scolded and beat the staggering German prisoner with their fists or butts from time to time.

The German prisoner was hit hard by one of the soldiers and fell to the ground swayingly.

The three Allied soldiers still didn't give up, kicked a few more times, and vented their anger, which dragged the German prisoners forward like a dead dog.

This scene was clearly seen by the commander and Norman standing by.

But the commander just smiled and didn't mean to come forward to persuade him at all.

It wasn't until the figures of these people disappeared that Comrade Commander seemed to have watched a good show and beckoned Norman to see his officer.

Along the way, Norman was very silent and didn't speak, so he followed casually.

Perhaps the scene I just saw was the most real battlefield, and it also made this communicator, who had never been in contact with the frontline troops, heartily nervous.

He didn't know, he didn't know what else was waiting for him.

What will his fate be like?

He was just a student who was about to go to university. The family conditions were not good, and he joined the army when he was dilapidated.

Originally, with a bit of culture, I mixed up with a correspondent, and dealt with the code every day, but I didn't need to go to the front line.

But because of the German army's pledge not to surrender, it became more and more frantic in the hinterland of the country, which can be called life-for-life, and soldiers on the front began to suffer heavy casualties.

As a last resort, in order to complete the strategic goals and replenish the fresh blood of the troops, people like him were also incorporated into the front-line troops.

What is the future?Norman didn't know, he was always at a loss.
