Hollywood legendary director

After a long break, Lehman still has no clue, but the crew's time is precious and can't be delayed.

If Jonathan Gavin, the representative of the guarantor, hadn't been obstructed by Ryan, he would have come to ask.

In these days of shooting, he did such a thing frequently.

Ask about food, filming, and even the damage of costumes and props.

Simply speaking, this kind of person is really a natural fit for eating this bowl of rice, that's a responsible and careful person.

"Prepare, prepare, and do it again."

Lehman picked up the loudspeaker and yelled, and urged the rest of the staff to return to their posts, ready to continue shooting.

But such aimless shooting has always made him uneasy, and he hastily shouted "Passed".

In the joy of everyone in the crew, he said "Come on."

......

As night fell, the town fell into silence.

A hotel under the package of the crew.

Lehmann opened the door and threw the key along with the sun hat on the locker at the door of the room.

Bending over, taking off his shoes, and putting on a pair of more comfortable slippers, Lehman walked into the living room, took a trip to the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.

White and a bit dirty.

After watching for a long time, he sighed, "Oh..."

Because his idea of ​​filming was hindered, it also caused the crew to end work early.

He finally returned to the hotel room before the sky was completely dark.

The window to the west is half open, and you can clearly hear the wind roaring outside.

Yes, yesterday’s weather forecast said that the temperature will drop in these few days.

He thought randomly, letting his mind flutter.

Is he too bad?Can't direct anymore?

Even if something goes wrong with TM, I don't know how to solve it.

Damn, MD, I'm like a fool.

There was no light in the room, and in the gloomy environment, Lyman's brows kept frowning.

When did it start?That self-righteous sense of control.

Was it the success of "Buried Alive", or did "Three Fools Raise Bollywood" also achieved results?

The success of the two films in a row seems to have made him a little overwhelmed. He feels that he is really a director genius, and he can be successful if he changes the scene and shoots.

But when he really encountered this unexpected shooting situation that was out of the original script, he was once again beaten back to his original shape.

He has always been just a lucky person. There are so many excellent works for him to appreciate, as long as they are copied, it seems that they can easily succeed.

"Buried alive" is like this, and the acting school of Heath Ledger has taken the lead;

The same goes for "Three Fools in Bollywood". He only deleted some places that were not in line with the main line, and Amir Khan contributed a wonderful performance. As a result...

After all, the shooting went too smoothly, as if there was a reference object in my mind for comparison, how could it be bad?

After all, his experience is still too superficial. Until now, he has blended too many things with the plot of "Furious", and it is basically two works with the original version. Only then has he exposed his essence at once-only in his previous life, he also directed TV series. , It's still an assistant director, and there are still many assistant directors.

Haha, I don't know why, Lehman suddenly wanted to laugh.

He remembered what the media and film critics had said about him, comparing him to "Quentin Tarantino."

What's more ridiculous is that he felt that he was successful in his heart.

Funny, so funny...hahaha.

From the start of "Furious" to this past week, the crew stayed at the established Allied station to film every day.

The shooting progress of the film is not slow, but it does not get up quickly. The reason is that he has made changes in many places, which requires repeated thinking.

Because of his pursuit of truth, he often consulted Lieutenant Colonel Logan and listened to him telling stories from the army.

After listening, he is always revising.

Because the original version of "Furious" had too many loopholes, I didn't think it before. Only after listening to people who have actually been in the army, I understood a lot.

Ever since, the difficulty of shooting this movie has been increasing, no matter what.

The propulsion tactics of tanks, how the tanks work together, the command of the distribution of forces on the battlefield...

There are too many things I don't know, and they are all that Lehman has never touched.

This kind of shooting without reference did not finally detonate until today.

His instinct told him that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Just blindly embarrassing Nicholas Cage and forcing him to perform, but still can't get the crux.

I still think too much of myself, he thought.

The praise of the media and the response of the market have lost him.

What should I do?

Once people fall into doubt, they will deny everything about themselves.

Lehman was like this at the moment, he was thinking wildly, judging himself for nothing.

He forgot how much he cared about those two works.

From the preparation to the shooting to the final editing, he has never left one step, only to make the film more excellent.

Maybe God is not willing to let him fall into the philosophy of thinking about life too much. A cell phone ringing bell broke the silence in the room.

Lehman took the phone out of his pocket and pressed the connect button.

"Hey, is it Lehman? I heard that you had a problem." On the phone, Luc Besson's familiar voice came.

After Lehman listened, he took a look out of the window. The moon was covered by clouds, only an outline was revealed.

"How do you know what happened on the set today?"

"George said it, I think you will need some help."

Then, everything can be explained, and it can be regarded as knowing the purpose of Luc Besson's call.

"I do have some doubts, that's the case. I want to know, how can we make the actors' emotional investment more suitable for the scene of the plot?" Lehman asked himself the problem of the entanglement that caused the crew to stop work, and then spoke again. Explained: "Do you also know that "Furious" is being filmed, there is a shot today..."

"This is the situation. I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell you one, two or three."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a voice came: "I think this may not be a problem with the actors' performance, but the role or something else caused the overall effect to lack the feeling you want. Yours I still have little shooting experience. It sounds like this is the first time I have encountered this situation. You must know that not only the actors are there in a shot, but the props, scenes, environment, and even the recorded sound will all complement each other."

Luc Besson smiled and said something of his own, "When I first directed a movie, this kind of problem was even more exaggerated than you. Sometimes the effect of a certain lens is not up to the standard, and it is also repeated desperately. , I still can’t figure it out... The feeling of this shooting is illusory, and only you can grasp it. But for a movie, performance is only one part of it, the use of lens focal length, scenery, and clothing , Props and even after the end of the shooting, the editing of the film material, the soundtrack, these can make a certain shot more valuable, we are not in the silent film era now, you have to think about it and feel it...

"Thank you, Mr. Luc Besson." Lehman's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.

He seems to have forced an actor's personal performance too much. He has forgotten that the feeling of performing this situation must be set off.

The movie is never the end of the performance after the actors have performed it. The design of the screen, the language of the lens, and the on-site scheduling are all the performance time of the director.

"No thanks, every director will encounter similar hurdles, but to my surprise, you started to encounter this hurdle after shooting three works... I believe you can cross it, because You are an aspiring director."

"I also hope that I can solve this problem as soon as possible, but anyway, thank you, Mr. Luc Besson."

The two talked for a while before ending the call.

I don't know when outside, the moon broke free from the obstacles of the clouds, and began to sprinkle clear water to the earth.

Lehmann put the phone back in his pocket, stood up and stretched out.

Just a chat with Luc Besson gave him some gains and insights.

In terms of filming experience, he is really far behind.

Turn on the lights in the room, and the orange light instantly filled the entire living room.

Lyman reopened the script of "Furious" from the drawer of a table placed in front of the sofa.

Thinking carefully about the overall plot and the setting of the characters.

For a veteran like the "sergeant", what would he think about seeing his comrades attacked?What will it do?

"What do you think a veteran with a long career in the military would be like."

Under the studio awning the next day, Lehman arrived early. Because Lieutenant Colonel Logan had to take care of the ordnance, he was sleeping in the studio camp-some of the tents that were set up belonged to their soldiers. Resting place.

"Are you asking me?" Lieutenant Colonel Logan, who had just had breakfast, was a little confused, because in the usual time, except for some military shooting issues, the director rarely talked to him, and more often. An attitude that respects his status as a lieutenant colonel.

"Well, I want to know how a veteran on the battlefield will have his psychological activity..." Lehman slowly described the image of the "sergeant" in his script, and then watched it. Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Logan wanted to know some of his thoughts on this role.

The so-called one person counts the shortcomings and the two counts the chiefs. Maybe you can talk to a service officer, maybe you can know the problem of the sense of contradiction in the shooting yesterday.

"Um, I have never been to the battlefield, but my grandfather was an Allied pilot. When he participated in World War II, he was also on the Pacific battlefield and flew bombers." Lieutenant Colonel Logan said of his views on the role, "I think The character of this character and his performance are a bit unreal."

Shrimp?
