King of Hollywood

“So, Donna, do you dance tango?” After the cold, Colonel Chu asked.

“Well... I wanted to learn before, but... Mike didn't.” The pretty girl replied with a smile.

“Mike? Who are you waiting for?” The colonel frowned.

The girl shrugged her shoulders to acquiesce to the Colonel's statement and explained: "Mike thinks Tango is crazy. ”

“Ha, I think Mike's crazy.” Although the Colonel's eyes did not shine, it was clearly written on his face.

“Ignore him,” said Charlie next to him, "well... I think I already said that? ”

The slightly embarrassing look made the girl giggle out, and the colonel couldn't help but sigh: “What a beautiful laugh. ”

And he looks at the girl and he says, "Do you want to learn tango, Donna? ”

Donna was obviously a little surprised: "Now? ”

“Free service, what do you say?” The Colonel, who couldn't see anything, said confidently.

“I'm a little scared," Donna doesn't know how to refuse, “afraid to step on the wrong foot. ”

“Tango is not a misstep, unlike life, very simple, so great, if you step on the wrong foot or trip, keep jumping.” The colonel smiled and said that his confident face had never changed.

I don't know if I was infected by the Colonel's confidence or if I really wanted to go crazy, Donna nodded her head: "Okay, try it. ”

The two stood up and, after Charlie had explained the surroundings to the Colonel, the Colonel took Donna to the dance floor. The previous song just finished playing, and after a few seconds of pause, the prelude to Step Away sounded.

“Stop!” exclaimed Adrian. After everyone stopped, he looked at the dance floor for a few seconds and waved at everyone: “Let's do this again! ”

He's shooting one of the three most troublesome scenes of the film right now - the stunning tango in the restaurant!

The reason why this stunning tango is one of the three most troublesome scenes is because it tests the director's scheduling and shooting skills, and how can Frank be blind in tango? So what makes the audience think he's no different from the average person? These need to be handled with caution, and a little carelessness can make them awkward, even if Adrian is already poorly acquainted with the lens and the plot.

In his view, the scene was more troublesome than the other two, which were relatively troublesome: Lieutenant Colonel Frank drove wildly in New York City and finally gave a lecture in the school auditorium.

For the former, the kind of road closure caused by the shooting had been taught, but that was the business of the assistant and executive producer; for the latter, Adrian already had experience with big scene scheduling, and Pacino was in excellent condition at the time of the shooting, and that humorous sermon was filmed five times, once each time.

It has to be acknowledged that the old Bone Pacino is excellent and that the blind are one of the most difficult of all the roles with disabilities. Because the eyes of ordinary actors are a very important complement to personal acting, like someone who thinks of Nicholas? Cage's eyes added a lot of points to his performance.

But blind characters can't perform with their eyes, and they have to shift that part of their eyes to expressions, movements, and body language. Pacino did this very well, especially in the auditorium, where he was not very physical but rather powerful, infecting the crew and temporary actors.

Although Oscar has always favoured a male lead with a disability, and although Pacino has the advantage of qualifications, his own brilliant acting is also one of the important reasons for getting a little golden man, and Adrian is fully convinced that he can still get it this time.

All right, back to tango shooting, the key to getting tango shooting right is all about the director, compared to racing and preaching. As I said before, we need to make the audience feel that the Colonel is no different from the normal person, and that the Colonel is actually blind, except for the actor's acting ability to see the director in control.

Adrian did a lot of work on that, like painting a draft of the dance shot early in his memory, inviting two more dance guides to complement the design of the dance based on those drafts, and then letting Pacino and Donna's actress Vera do it by shooting other pieces? Jamison practiced the steps.

Trouble is troublesome, caution is cautious, and Adrian doesn't think this lens is going to be hard on him. Although his work is all plagiarized and copied, it doesn't mean he won't be able to do it.

“Need eye drops, Al?” After filming Tango's previous play twice, Adrian deliberately announced a 15-minute break to meet the challenge, while joking with Pacino.

“Don't you know? I blink every time the lens moves away.” Pacino responded in the same tone.

“It looks like I should have an extra camera to capture all of these images so I can add some footage to the release later.” Adrian continued to laugh.

Pacino didn't have an interface this time, but moved on to another topic: “I went out a few days ago to see your new movie when I was having a good time and it was very infectious. Although I've met a lot of directors and producers, like you, for the first time. Honestly, Ed, I'm suddenly curious to know what this Fragrant Woman will look like when it's done. ”

“You'll see, Al,” Adrian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "and then I'll have a surprise for you. ”

After the break, the shooting continued, and Adrian repeatedly lectured several protagonists in order to minimize mistakes. Actually, nothing. Charlie Caspar? Jacques did a good job of being a little white face, and dancing tango had nothing to do with his character; as for Pacino, the methodical way of acting kept him in shape most of the time, just a little reminder; hence, what was the most to say about Donna's Vera? Jamison.

“… In short, let go of your heart and don't be nervous, as you and Al practiced before. Weren't you doing great with those shots at the dining table?” Adrian was patiently relieved by some nervous actresses, who had just tried twice, each time the music was called to a halt as soon as it started, and Vera was obviously not in a state.

Adrian would have loved to have Kate in the role, just because of her appearance, but thinking about that 5 '8 "height, she had to give up, and she couldn't let Pacino and a woman a third head taller jump tango? So I finally picked this dark hair, slightly skeletal, a young 23-year-old woman who played a role in some small cost movies, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, unfortunately I don't know why, the normal lens is in good shape, and when I practiced tango with Al, it was good, but dancing in front of the camera made me look nervous.

(Just to be brief, there will be all of them, and now it's just the beginning. Ok, my book is really slow and hot... for recommendation tickets)
