King of Hollywood

After Fool's Day, which took almost 10 days to prepare, Shawshenk's Redemption began filming at Mansfield State Penitentiary in Ohio. In addition to LaVerne and others working efficiently in such a short period of time, it's mainly because Adrian was prepared, for example, to finish filming the prison scene at Mansfield State Correctional Facility from the beginning, and to convince Tim? Robbins plays the part.

Amongst the designated actors, Morgan? Freeman and then James? Whitmore is happy to say yes, Bob? Gunton, though considering it for a while, gave a definite doctor. The power of directing and producing two reputable, box-room films within a year, and the ghost director's name adds a lot of weight to Adrian.

Yet, Tim? Robbins refused this role in his first contact and gave the reply that it was not for him! Adrian, who was drinking water, almost didn't spray the news, which was ridiculous - just for him, of course - so why not just come and visit him in person after a long period of depression.

“He helped those who felt good again, and he showed a glimmer of hope to those who were bound by the system, who were painful, indomitable and… perfect. I can't think, Tim. I can't think of anyone better than you.” In Tim? Robbins sits at his house on Frost Street, sitting on the couch tasting each other's... life partner, also famous Susan? The black tea made by Salandon, Adrian said with such a great deal of emotion.

“There are a lot more actors in Hollywood than me, aren't there?” Robbins' answer does not seem to have changed, but it should have been heartfelt, obviously, without knowing why it was rejected.

“Yes, I admit, like at first I thought about inviting Tom? Hanks played the part, but I finally thought you were the best fit. I don't know why, Tim, I watched almost all of your performances, from Celebrity Soldiers to Big Husband, and even Super Big Player a few days ago, frankly, none of them fit. But my instinct is biased towards telling me that you're the invisible Andy who never gives up.” Adrian continues with extreme seriousness, "I believe my instincts, so I didn't even ask you to come over for an audition. ”

Speaking of which, he turns around and looks at Susan? Salandon: “Isn't that right, Susan? Some birds can't be shut down, their feathers are so bright that when they fly away, you know in your heart that locking them up is a sin, and you'll be thrilled. Isn't Tim such a bird? ”

Although Adrian didn't know why Robbins refused, he also knew the reason for a flanking breakthrough. Indeed, Sarandon, who had read the script, began to persuade Robbins to come and argue aloud for a long time, and eventually Robbins agreed to Adrian's invitation.

Later he learned that Robbins would refuse the invitation mainly because he had just finished promoting Super Big Player and wanted to spend a few days at home with Salandon, and since he was advised that there was no reason to postpone it.

“Everyone is aware that this is the first play of Shawshenk's Redemption, and I hope you will take this opportunity to cooperate more, thank you.” Adrian, standing on the elevator, held a loud horn and yelled at the crowd in the open space.

The first scene was the one where Andy was in jail, and Adrian chose this scene, in addition to being better at it, just said, hopefully these temporary actors will be able to grind it together.

The exterior scene at Mansfield State Penitentiary, although well maintained and many films have been made here, is terrible, and if you redecorate it, it costs a lot more than building it in a studio, so you can only shoot exteriors here. But all but a few of the scenes are essentially crowded scenes, and the temporary actors are not enough. Adrian even contacted the correctional staff to invite their guests for a while, so many people together that a slight problem might have to be re-shot.

“Let's get you ready, and we'll start the test shoot in 10 minutes.” Adrian used a walkie-talkie to connect with the people below, and he stood on the elevator ready to shoot himself with the camera, and as he had said to Spielberg earlier, his dispatch to the big scene was still missing, and if it was a good shot this time, he could basically get started.

“Action!” With that cry, the scene started shooting. This is a panoramic lens that crosses the windward playground from the front of the penitentiary for a week, then moves to the barbed wire door and stops, which is quite a test for the man in charge.

Adrian was still shooting from this height down for the first time, not to be nervous or afraid of it being impossible, but when he picked up the camera and his negative emotions suddenly disappeared, the only thing left was shooting.

Perhaps deep down in my heart, there is something a little more idealistic. After getting off the lift, Adrian thought to herself.

There's nothing wrong with this lens - if it still screws up when you're fully prepared and you don't need any acting but a temporary actor running around, then it's useless to say that the director and the producer are useless - but there's a lot going on in the next shooting.

Because the time is set in the 4s and 50s, so all props have to meet the characteristics of the age, clothes and all that, but transportation is very troublesome. Transportation from that era was mostly in museums or private storerooms, not to mention prison escorts. Although Fortunately for the correctional facility, I got a car that I could drive before the shoot, but this thing is too old to be broken three or four times at a distance of dozens of feet.

Beyond that, laughing and misreading lines abound, even some people pushed down some temporarily erected barbed wire because they were too excited, and luckily no one got hurt.

Although this had been anticipated before the shooting began, Adrian was inevitably depressed and had to endure repeated shootings of a nature over and over again. What's comforting is, whether it's Morgan or not? Freeman or Tim? Robbins or James? Whitmore, Bob? Gunton is a great actor, especially Tim and Morgan, and it's very simple to capture the character, so their footage is relatively smooth.

“Why is it so urgent? Because I don't have much time, and in my plan, it would be great to have three weeks to finish the exterior shooting and three weeks to finish the indoor shooting.” Face Nathan? This is how Adrian answered White's question.

Nathan is a producer from Worldwide and is solely responsible for reporting the group's financial expenses to the company. Worldwide initially hesitated to invest. They thought Adrian was going to adapt Stephen? One of Kim's horror novels, based on his ability to demonstrate before, is definitely worth investing in. But when I found the novel, I found out that it was adapted by Stephen? Kim was rated as one of the worst in the middle series, which made it very difficult for them.

Everyone knows that, Stephen? Kim is most famous for his horror novels, but that's why he's often criticized by mainstream critics. Stephen? Kim was angry when he didn't have it in his heart, but inevitably it took a long time, so he simply wrote a few middle stories that had nothing to do with ghosts, demons, etc. - apart from the last one, which involved some mystery - and put them together for publication. Unfortunately, however, it took him a lot of hard work. Kim said something: You continue to write horror.

This is a huge blow, Stephen. Kim has not written a similar comparative literary novel since, and rarely mentions this collection, so Adrian is surprised that LaVerne has the right to adapt Shawshenk's Redemption in such a short period of time.

Faced with this situation, the global contest persisted. The original sales of this collection were terrible, and Adrian was newcomer after all. If "Two Big Smoke Guns" and "Memory Shards" were made by him in two years, then Universal wouldn't hesitate to blog them, but now nobody knows what Adrian could shoot, and seniority is sometimes so amazing. Fortunately, the last word of Bertrand, who was called in for advice, gave them confidence.

“Think, gentlemen, what was he doing when we wanted to get the Scream and the American Pie script from him?” That's what Brandt said.

Think about it. Not many directors in Hollywood can do something like Adrian? And he seemed to intend to work with Spielberg, so GlobeCo finally invested 10 million to show confidence that Nathan was only responsible for reporting to the company.

“Are you going to finish this movie in six weeks? The schedule foresees two months.” Nathan seemed a little surprised to see Adrian complaining and wanted to come over and talk.

“The plan was always the worst,” Adrian shrugged, "and as long as everyone stayed in good shape and made no minor mistakes, I could definitely finish shooting all the shots within six weeks. ”

“But..." Nathan made a gesture not knowing what to say, investing more than 20 million in Hollywood is now a middle-income investment, and filmmaking has never been proportional in terms of investment, speed and quality. Looks like Adrian used to be used to fast shooting, so now he wants to, but...

“In my hands, speed and quality are proportional.” As if I could see what he was thinking, Adrian smiled, "I know you may not believe it now, but, Nathan, I'll prove it to you, I'm a miracle worker! ”

After that, he didn't even go back to the camera and clapped his hands and yelled, “Okay, guys, it's break time, let's go! ”

(Tears, the collection doesn't help...)
