Hollywood legendary director

It was cloudy on December 25.

At about ten in the morning, Lehman led the crew to a place far away from downtown Los Angeles.

There are boxing gyms built with warehouses, streets and communities. It is the best location for "Million Dollar Baby".

Without a programmatic start-up ceremony, Warner wanted to make a splash, but Lehman rejected it because it was unnecessary.

With the help of the directors’ union, the crew negotiated with the residents of the community and completed the relevant procedures.

Reporters or something, I didn't know where to get wind and came to interview, so I should avoid it.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The set has already been completed, and the scene of the filming will soon be heard, saying, "First come the rehearsal."

Then Lehmann raised the loudspeaker again and said, "Thomas, double check the camera position. There is an error in the lighting group, the recording group brought the radio equipment..."

The dress rehearsal began.

A few group actors simply started to practice walking, hoping not to steal the spotlight when shooting.

Five minutes later, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the actor's cooperation. Lehman stood behind the director's monitor and immediately said, "All departments are ready..."

"Unit 1?"

"Ok."

"light?"

"no problem."

As the heads of various departments stretched out their hands to confirm, the recorder stood in front of the main camera and gently hit the recorder.

"The first scene of the first scene of "Million Dollar Baby", action--"

There was a crisp kicking sound, and then the monitor in front of Lyman showed the shooting picture of Unit One. This scene is the daily training of the boxing gym opened by "Frankie" played by Eastwood, and "Rankey"'s only friend, "Eddie" played by Morgan Freeman makes his first appearance.

This casting is consistent with the previous life, because this guy’s voice is very magnetic and he needs to do a post narration dubbing, and apart from Morgan Freeman, Lehman doesn’t know any particularly suitable candidates, and the two are in "Bad Guy" has a cooperation, he and Clint Eastwood are also old acquaintances, a little invitation, they are happy to join the group.

The three cameras are placed separately.

The first camera is the main point of view for capturing close-ups of characters, controlled by Thomas himself.Because you need to follow up later, and there is no slide rail and no fixed tripod, you need to put the camera on your shoulder.Although this kind of shoulder anti-camera is not particularly heavy, it is very demanding for the photographer, and it can't shake hands at all, even if it is moving the lens, it must be kept at a very slight range.

Once the animation surface also collapses, the whole shot will not work.

You have to start again.

And Thomas’ technology Lehman is quite recognized. This guy is not interested in many things. He is unwilling to cultivate him and lead him to the management. Only for camera, that is true love.His hands are as steady as an old dog, and he understands Lehman's shooting intentions. A veritable royal photographer, Lehman is not used to leaving him.

The second machine is responsible for side-shooting and has a fixed angle of view. It can be pushed slowly with a slide rail.

The third machine is simpler and can be completed by any camera assistant, mainly responsible for shooting the street scenery at the door, which will be used in later editing.

Clint Eastwood was wearing a brown-gray woolen coat, carrying an old shoulder bag whose outer shell had begun to fall off, head down, his hair a little messy, his beard unkept, and his expression dumb.Only a little makeup was painted on the face.It was to make him look older and his face was sallow.

"early."

"early."

Eastwood waved his hand, slowly returned to his seat, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Crack."

Lehman stared at the performance, felt something was wrong, and decisively called to stop.

Eastwood turned to look at Lyman, puzzled.

During this period of time, he has also thought about the role, feeling that his state is quite in line with the requirements of the situation.

"My eyes are too dizzy, let me dim. You are an ordinary person, an ordinary person, and you have a conflict with your daughter. When you say hello, you are a little bit slow. Feeling worried."

Lehman points out without shy.

The surrounding staff smacked secretly.

Clint Eastwood is also a director.

A highly qualified horse in the circle, okay?

But still seriously pointed out the shortcomings.

Eastwood thought for a while, and felt right.

A loser in life is not as plain as he was just now.

He nodded, returned to his position, ready to do it again.

At this moment he is just an actor.

"Kah, do it again, eyes are enough, walking posture is wrong, shoulders are slightly collapsed, movements are gentle."

"Morgan-Freeman, you were wrong when you said hello just now, wait until he is passing by you, you will say hello. Come again..."

Originally, Hilary Swank was still pulling Eksh Judd, and the two transparent people chatted quietly in the corner of the crew. The two had trained together, and they were quite familiar. In addition, the entire crew also made the two of them interact with each other. Know and dare not communicate with other people.

Everything around was so novel, and then I saw the director yelling one after another, and the two old actors also listened to him carefully.

The problem is not that he interrupted the shooting for no reason.Each time there are deficiencies.

Ikesh Judd has been in a lot of crews. Although there are not many scenes, it is the first time I have seen such a serious director.

Not to mention Hilary Swank, as the heroine, thinking that she has also been pointed out to improve, and she can't meet the requirements of the director...

In an instant, the cold sweat came out of the skin.

"Director Lyman is really amazing, no wonder the movies he makes are always very popular." Akesh Judd on the side seemed to have the urge to become a little fan.

Lehman really knows how to train actors.

It's not how skillful he is in acting, but he always keeps the actors in the best state when shooting.Keep improving.

Heath Ledger, Jason Statham... are all examples.After Tom Cruise finished filming "Bad Guy", it was as if the two lines of Ren Du had been opened up, and his performance rose greatly, although it was quickly returned back-this product has reached Paramount Pictures again Agreement, went to shoot "Mission Impossible 3", that character can't be played without being handsome and cool, it's a return to the self.

"Ok."

Hilary Swank responded twice.Turned his head and picked up the script on the chair.

Ikesh Judd waited for a long time, but he didn't see his friends talking. When he looked back, he only felt that there was a black line in his head.

Please, is it necessary?

On the other side, after the fourth shot, it finally went smoothly.

Lehman turned out the camera on the monitor to take a closer look, feeling very satisfied.

While nodding, the set was relieved.

The first shot is complete.
