Hollywood legendary director

As Lehmann picked up the speaker again and shouted "action——"

The "sergeant" played by Nicholas Cage also began to come into view.

Holding the removed helmet in his hand, he was walking in the camp, occasionally saying hello to a few familiar comrades...

Above the shooting track set up in the camp, two dark film cameras are working at the same time, one for the middle shot and the other for the close-up shots of the characters. In the post-editing process, you can switch at will through such lens changes. To achieve the desired shooting effect.

Lehman sat behind the director's monitor, carefully observing the images transmitted at this time.

"Hi, Don."

The "sergeant" who had just returned to the station of his team was stopped.

The commander came over and said, "I'll introduce you a soldier, Norman, who will be a new member of your team."

The "sergeant" immediately saw that the soldier next to the officer was a new egg.

Suddenly he felt a little dissatisfied. He pulled the commander over and walked a little further away. Then he said, "Sir, would you let a recruit like this join our team?"

The commander gave Nicholas Cage a brilliant glance, and reluctantly persuaded him: "There is no way, our manpower is running out, not to mention that, as you know, our mission is urgent and we must first get through the eastern battlefield. Defensive line, freeing up hands and feet for the large forces behind... Your team has reduced the number of people. He is always there."

Nicholas Cage frowned and said seriously, "Fuck."

A recording assistant used the pick lever to send down the recording microphone.

Recording this swear word is also an expression of "sergeant"'s dissatisfaction, but as the commander said, his team has been laid off and needs to be supplemented. This is an established fact. A curse, except for venting. What to change.

"Cut, well, over."

For a while, the atmosphere inside the crew became active again.

Indeed, nothing makes them more happy than the smooth shooting.

"Next shot." Lehmann picked up the speaker and ordered loudly.

Next, the crew filmed several groups of "sergeant" and recruit Norman talking in the camp of the Fury squad, and several other team members showed different performances on the recruit's joining.

In this way, the entire scene of the "Norman Enlistment" scene is almost complete, and then another transition, starting to shoot Nicholas Cage teaching Heath Ledger how to be a qualified tank watcher, etc. Lens picture.

After the crew made a little arrangement, the filming began.

Generally speaking, these lenses are not difficult. Several leading actors only occasionally make mistakes, but they can be adjusted quickly.

Sometimes, Lehman also needs to dig out some scene details or adjust the use of firearms and other weapons and equipment under the guidance of Lieutenant Colonel Logan. Even when inspiration comes, he will add a little drama to improve the plot of the whole movie.

But even so, the shooting went smoothly.

Using Nicholas Cage, Heath Ledger, Trini Garcia and other actors with rich experience or good acting skills, for such a war scene, the benefits are completely reflected.

Their performance is very smooth, and they have a very soldier-like temperament.

In short, even when mixed in a group of veterans, it will not appear abrupt.

This is much better than the average traditional big vase star.

Especially Nicholas Cage, he himself does not lack the acting skills possessed by an acting school, and he has more experience in shooting war scenes than Heath Ledger and others. He has a strong body and is very suitable for him. Play a role like a soldier.

Perhaps it is not unreasonable that he can become a benchmark among male actors in the 1990s.

Of course, the actor is not omnipotent. So is he himself. The crew soon ran into trouble...

"Pay attention to the control of the face. He is a veteran who has experienced life and death. He will not be moved by the death of his comrades." After two consecutive NGs, Lehman pulled over Nicholas Cage and explained carefully: "His eyes are dazzling. That's it, you can think about the implications of this and experience it."

"Give me five minutes." Cage said immediately, apparently knowing that something wrong with his emotions caused the filming to be interrupted.

Lehman nodded and went back to the monitor, but just five minutes later, when the filming started, he immediately called to stop!

Nicholas Cage was stared at by Lehman, frowning, thinking there.

The scene being filmed now is that the sergeant played by Nicholas Cage rushes to a small town with his troops, blocks the entrance and exits there, and surrounds and annihilates a retreating enemy army.

But on the road, they met a group of German people who were fleeing. One and a half of them took out an "Iron Fist" from the backpack behind them. (Iron Fist is a German-style anti-tank bazooka and the originator of RPG. It can be regarded as A large gunpowder warhead was mounted on an iron pipe), and attacked a soldier of the marching unit where the Allied army was located. The man died tragically. After being bombarded, half of his body was exploded, and blood splashed not far away. Shi" on...

Following Lehman's shout, the surrounding staff looked at each other, their eyes revealing helplessness.

The three consecutive NGs are already the most in this week, and it seems that they are all due to performance errors.

The scene is very simple, of course from the perspective of director Lyman.

It was Nicholas Cage who saw his comrade-in-arms being bombarded to death with an "iron fist" at close range, and his face was close-up.

Whether surprised or a little sad, always calm on the face, expressing all with eyes.

But it's that simple, can't TM do well?

When the staff or Nicholas Cage watched the scene just now, they already felt very calm and should have performed the effect, but I don't know why the director Lyman is still not satisfied.

Lehman looked at the crew members who had stopped around, thought about it, and said loudly, "Everyone, take a break."

So everyone heaved a sigh of relief, went to drink water, chatted with someone, and took advantage of the time to go to the toilet.

There was a little uproar in the field.

Lyman on the side sat back behind the monitor and replayed the content of the previous shots over and over.

In these few NGs, Nicholas Cage fully demonstrated the background of a powerful actor. From the first time his face was slightly moved, it seemed to be panic; to the second time he was indifferent and expressionless; Three times, the facial muscles were already cold, but the eyes moved slightly and brought some character's temperature.

His performances are improving every time, and he is also trying to interpret the same scene in different styles. In order to maintain the overall expressive effect required by the director, he improves the level of the relevant emergencies of his role.

But Lehman just found it very abrupt. His performance alone seemed to be no problem, but in the whole scene, there was something wrong, and there was an inexplicable sense of separation, which is commonly known as a play.

Nicholas Cage didn't go to rest, but after cleaning up his makeup a little bit, he leaned in.

After getting along for so long, he can be regarded as getting acquainted with the director Lyman, knowing that his character is the kind of person who is easier to get along with.

So even if I just received the training, I still want to come over and communicate more.

He has grown from a small actor to such a big fame today because he has always respected the director of every crew.

Even if he became famous, he wouldn't play any big name on someone with the identity of a director. This is the rule of survival on the set that he summed up as an actor.

A head poked over, and after staring at the monitor for a while, he still asked rather confusedly: "Then how should I act?"

Lehman was thinking too, he felt that his order was right.An veteran on the battlefield, accustomed to seeing life and death, his sense of indifference to life is certain.

Otherwise, such a person, after a long period of killing, would have long since collapsed, and he is not mentally paralyzed. He is either a born murderer or a lunatic. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

But what is wrong?

Lehman shook his head honestly, "I don't know too much, I just think your performance just now is wrong..."

As an actor, this is probably the answer that Nicholas Cage is most afraid of hearing.

Even the director has lost his judgment. What kind of emotional adjustment or body movement can he achieve the effect?

The director is the only brain in the crew, and he controls the final style of a movie.

All the staff behind the scenes, including the actors, serve to implement his ideas and concepts, so if even the director himself does not have a clear shooting requirement, it is really finished.

This is the current NG situation.

Lehman's instinct told him that the shooting just now was absolutely flawed, but he didn't know how to correct it.

"why?"

Lyman murmured silently.

Nicholas Cage was sitting next to him, and his nose could smell the smell of salted fish from sweat through his clothes, which made Lyman's mood even more irritable.

If it wasn't for Cage that your performance could not always give the kind of effect you wanted, he wouldn't be so upset.

But why?

He couldn't think of the source of the problem.

Grabbing a handful of hair in pain, Nicholas Cage suddenly suggested: "Or, I'm adding some movement, how about a slight frown?"

Lyman ignored him, just looked at the monitor and played it back over and over.

If it’s easy to add some facial micro-movements, isn’t it the same for your first performance, but it’s not like "Cut".

Cage felt like he had made a bad idea, and the director obviously didn't speak any more.

It can also be seen that he is not in a good mood, so Nicholas Kage silently returned to his car.
