Hollywood legendary director

On January 25, the movie "The Mist" was officially launched.

Based on the consideration that fertility does not flow out of the field, many supporting roles in "The Mist" are selected from caa.

This is one of Lyman's benefits to caa, and it is also the cornerstone of maintaining a cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, if caa is dedicated to defending Lehman's personal interests without asking for anything in return, it will make Lehman feel that they have something bigger.

Caa is also derived from this exchange of film and television resources, which occupies half of the business of brokers.

After all, even if you get a small role in "The Mist" that may not even have a line, most of the small actors do not have the right to be selected. They can only get the opportunity by relying on the platform contacts of the major brokerage companies.

Monopoly has always been the right to make rules...

In a courtyard by the lake, the staff were ready. Lehman sat behind the director's monitor and gestured to Chang Ji with an OK gesture, and the shooting officially began.

"The first scene of "The Mist", the first mirror, action--"

With a click, Changji hit the clapperboard, and the shooting teams on both sides moved.

In the shot, David, played by Cage, is proficient in picking up the paintbrush, holding the adjusted dye tray of various colors in his hand, choosing the color he needs and waving his ink on the canvas set up in front of him.

Soon, an image similar to a western cowboy came into being.

His face is blurred, but the revolver he carries on his belt is clearly visible...

Then, the camera pans to the left, and more paintings that have been drawn appear under the camera.

This is a long shot that lasts for more than a minute, and it tests the shooting team's ability to assist.

However, everyone in this team is always cooperating, and everyone has a tacit understanding.

As for Cage, he did not disappoint Lehman either. His movements were just right, as if he was really a painter who was addicted to painting. Although there was no line, his rich and natural body movements were unobstructed.

Of course, these necessary painting props are drawn by professionals, and Cage is just showing it.

And this scene is also an implicit tribute to Stephen King. The backgrounds of several paintings are all scenes that appear in classic horror novels written by the old man.

Such as "Witch Carrie", such as the twin evil spirits in "The Shining"...

After Cage put down his paintbrush and got up, Lehman shouted with satisfaction: "cut."

Nicholas Cage turned around and asked, "How about? Do you want to do it again?"

Lehman praised it with a thumbs up: "No, it's good just now, and it's hard to get better."

After watching the replay again, confirming that the shot was fully up to standard, and there was no need to shoot again, Lehmann clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I will prepare for the next scene immediately."

Everyone dispersed, and Musser Jackson also walked in to prepare for the next scene with Cage.

Outside the courtyard, there was a mess, it was the tragedy of the stormy night after the strong wind passed.

In this scene, David and his neighbor, the black lawyer played by Musser, went to the supermarket in town to purchase some necessities.

After such a big storm, the supermarket might be sold out.

Although the setting team and the courtyard have undergone preliminary renovations, it took more than half an hour to arrange the lighting and camera positions.

After shooting again, Lehman focused most of his attention on the first time Samuel Jackson, who had the most lines in this scene.

The image of Samuel is also very different from the original Andrew Brower. The black lawyer he portrays pays more attention to the change of tone. The temperament is more rational and objective, and there is no complicated change in expression. Don't use body language to express.

In fact, this is more in line with a highly educated upper-class elite in the script, and the character setting does not need to be exposed when performing.

Therefore, Samuel’s performance seemed much more natural, even if he was arguing with David about a small matter, he tried his best to convince people with reason, instead of shouting and overshadowing.

However, even if the protagonist is in a hot state, there will be various problems during the shooting process -

"Cut." After shooting for a while, Lyman quickly called a timeout.

"Director, is there any problem?" It was Musser who was talking the line just now, and he asked suspiciously after being called for a timeout.

He thought he had just played with Cage, and he had done nothing wrong.

Lehman shook his head, "It's not your problem, keep it up."

After that, he looked at a little actor who was stuffed in by Caa, who played David's wife in the movie.

"Are you an outsider?"

"I'm sorry, Director Lyman, I was wrong." No matter what, admit your mistakes first. This is the rule of survival for small actors in the crew.

"Your husband is arguing with your neighbors. Do you just stand by as if you didn't hear it and look indifferent? If the start is in reality, what should you do as a wife?"

The brown-haired girl who was close to thirty years old was said to have a reddened face.

Because there is very little portrayal of her small role in the script, she doesn't know whether she should add a drama or not-making some actions in unregulated scenes is bound to attract the camera, and some directors care about the actors. The scene was not completed in accordance with the script.

But obviously, Lehman is not.

Although she was told, she explained with some joy: "Should I frown and interrupt later?"

"Yes, this lady, you should interrupt the conversation between the two of them aloud. Then, let them go to the supermarket as soon as possible to advance the plot, understand? Anyway, you need to conform to the posture of a wife. And your own courtyard was destroyed by the storm, your mood should be bad, and your tone should be mainly complaining."

"I see, Director Lyman, I will do it well."

With a few more lines, the degree of photogenicity of the scene has greatly increased, even if he is scolded, he is willing.

After Lyman returned to the monitor, he commanded everyone to shoot again.

The effect this time was much better than just before, but it still failed because of a small problem with the crew's recording work.

Then it was again.

It's relatively cold in January in Oklahoma. A group of people leave the warm indoors to shoot outdoor scenes.

The cold wind blew through, and there was a little pain in the face.

As if his face was stiffened.

But this is the daily routine of the crew.

Filming things are often off-season. It's normal to shoot summer scenes in winter and winter scenes in summer.

The script can't specify the season, just the season.

Schedule planning is a big trouble, and no crew has such idle time to wait.

The scenes in the courtyard can only add up to 6 minutes, but it took three days to shoot.

On January 28, the crew moved to the supermarket, which is the center of the story...
