King of Hollywood

Chapter 202: Main Color Performance

With the explosion of Fulton Street, the shooting of "This Killer's Not Too Cold" finally came to a close, although the crew finished shooting outside the street on schedule, despite some delays due to minor problems.

The next shooting was basically an indoor scene, starting with completing the scenes surrounding Lyon, such as the fierce shootout and how Lyon was dressed up as a special police officer and mixed up.

“Act 94 45, ready." The prop gun started firing as the recording sounded. Likewise, the scene of the shooting was bad enough compared to the shooting on the big screen, especially for the sake of safety. Adrian, with the exception of some close-ups of the shooting, did not allow the use of even empty bags, which looked even fake. This is similar to the explosion scene, which will have to be processed at a later stage before it will have an impact, and now it is not too much to say that it is playing a game.

Of course, the actors don't think they're playing games, and one of them is devoted to fighting. Although Adrian had previously directed the shootout, it was the first time this large-scale exchange of fire had taken place, so Masterson was still needed to help steer the wheel.

Adrian, who has made a lot of films, has been very good at studying in the shooting, and his head has a lot of classic images to reference, so everything is going well. He even made a few suggestions, and after analyzing the motion design team, Jean? Reynolds shot harder.

But with the previous lesson, some lenses were delayed, even though Natalie did well that afternoon. So the next shot was pieces of life, like Matilda shopping home, cleaning Lyon's room with guns, or Lyon sitting in his sunglasses and sleeping.

Although Lyon and Matilda changed their homes twice, the apartments rented for shooting were all nearby, with some trouble running around at best.

As the shooting continued, Adrian began to add some of the main lines of the story to the trivial life scene, the most important of which was Matilda sitting on the floor of the stairs smoking and then meeting Lyon.

“Remember, Nada, all you have to do is raise the cigarette and don't put it in your mouth.” Adrian settled next to Natalie and told her what happened next. He redesigned the scene to illustrate her smoking with a girl moving her cigarette hand away from her face, and he didn't want Matilda to appear on the screen with a cigarette lens, blurring some of the audience's impressions, as long as the adjustment was good for the movie.

“Why don't you put it in your mouth, Ed?” Natalie asks, "Don't you think it looks a little fake? ”

“Not even close to the mouth,” Adrian laughed, "and the audience wouldn't like to see a 12-year-old girl smoking, even on the screen. ”

“But I didn't really smoke.” Natalie leaves her mouth open and puts her hands in a stall, although she has a small face that she doesn't think she is, but she looks very compassionate and mature.

“Yes, but no one else thought so,” Adrian couldn't help but rub his hand against her head, "Okay, smart little guy, you have to understand, unless you never get in touch with someone, you have to think less about what they think. ”

“Okay, okay, I get it.” Natalie shrugged her shoulders and gave Adrian a ghost face. "This is the first time, Ed. Does my head feel good? ”

Adrian smiled, shook his head, and greeted everyone ready to begin. After a period of time, Natalie, with her lovely appearance and maturity far beyond her peers, has initially established her own personality in the crew, and she and the other two stars have become more and more acquainted.

Renault and Oldman are all very interesting guys in private, often joking when they take a break, working with Natalie's cleverness and getting along well with each other. Adrian, however, as he said before, when a girl shares her most intimate things with you, she automatically treats you as her most trusted person.

In fact, Natalie secretly told Adrian after the shooting that she was able to perform so well at the end of the day, in addition to having an uncomfortable thought in her heart and simulating the feelings of her parents being killed, she also had a feeling of not wanting to disappoint him. That's a good sign, isn't it? So after a few days, they've nicknamed each other.

“Get in position, get ready.” With the co-director's voice running throughout the crew, this time Adrian did not shoot with his own anti-camera, but stood by and watched quietly.

Lyon didn't like to take the elevator, so every time he went back to his room he took the stairs, he was wearing a black trench coat with round sunglasses and a small round cap. This made him look a little earthy while giving him a different feel, so he attracted the attention of the girl sitting in the hallway and took the initiative to say hello as he walked behind him.

Likewise, this young girl with a lonely body forced Lyon's eyes to fall on her, looking for seconds to ask, "Why are you hiding the cigarette? ”

“There are rats everywhere in this building,” the girl replied in a soft voice, "I don't want the old man to know, enough trouble. ”

Lyon immediately noticed the bruising in her corner of the eye and bent over and said, "What's going on? ”

“fell off the bike.” The girl shunned his eyes.

Leon didn't say much either, and walked straight to his room, but the girl called him again: "Don't tell my dad about smoking, okay? ”

Lyon watched as she continued to walk to her room without talking, but the girl knew he had promised, so her eyes remained on him until he entered the house, and the initial contact and trust were built.

“Very good, very good.” Adrian couldn't help but clap his hands and clap his hands.

“Are you talking about Jean, Ed?” Natalie immediately regained her quirky look, blinking her eyes and looking at Adrian with a smile and hips.

“Well, Nada, you know what I'm saying," Adrian flipped a white eye, but added: "You're all right, especially you, Nada, Matilda, almost tailored for you. ”

Yes, Adrian can basically say that with more shooting time. Matilda and Natalie have too many similarities, such as a bit of rebellion, a bit of stubbornness, an effort to make green self more mature, and so on. Of course, Natalie is smarter than Matilda, although she's just a little girl under the age of 12, but she knows exactly what she wants and will strive for it, and knows how to compromise and show herself.

But the fit with the character was very high, and in a way, she was a real performer.

“Well, it's your turn, Gary.” Adrian gave Natalie a thumbs-up, prepared to greet Oldman, followed by the first appearance of evil policeman Stan.

As an officer of the Narcotics Unit, Stan handed over a packet of drugs to Matilda's father for safekeeping, but two months later, 100 percent purity became 90 percent, not to mention catty. But Matilda's father passed out, biting himself unknowingly, and eventually causing the doomsday tragedy.

It has to be admitted that Oldman's ability to manage this role, when little Rollo and Matilda's father had no avail, had to interrupt Stan, who listened to the music, and he turned around and the nervous evil look made people feel quite oppressed, even allowing the fat actor who played Matilda's father to breathe the cool air voluntarily.

While it was a bit funny to hold each other for a stroke and sniff afterwards, that feeling of oppression didn't diminish when his low voice rang: "Do me a favor and find out who did it. ”

“It turns out that my judgment is correct, and these characters suit you too well, Gary.” After these shots, Adrian said to Oldman half a joke.

“Careful what you say, Ed.” Oldman glanced at him and reached out and dotted a little in the air, still speaking in that low, oppressive tone. Apparently, he is still immersed in the character's emotions, not completely pulled out.

“You're a great actor.” Natalie came to Adrian and looked up at Oldman, who had a big sip of the water bottle handed over by her assistant, spitting her tongue and saying with envy.

“It's not the best," Adrian shook his head, "you know, Judy? Foster? Not only can she get herself into the show quickly, but she can also do it quickly - once she's finished shooting, she can recover as soon as she eats a large sandwich. ”

“Really?” Natalie asked curiously.

“Of course, you can ask her yourself when you come to LA to make a movie.” Adrian smiled.

“Go to Los Angeles to make a movie...” Natalie turned her eyes and wondered what she was thinking.

“Well, don't think about it so much, go change at the costumer's, and we're going to shoot one of the most important scenes for Matilda and Lyon.” Adrian said at this time.

“The salvation scene?” Little girl's eyes lit up. "Aren't you going to shoot again in a few days? ”

“Because you did a great job today, I think you can totally try.” Adrian stared at her and looked a little embarrassed at Natalie.

“And of course, because I don't want to burden Gary, we'd be in a lot of trouble if it took him a lot of time to adjust.” Adrian suddenly turned around, "Otherwise, if it went too far, maybe one day he'd find a gun and kill us all. ”

“I said, Ed, next time you say something bad behind someone's back, can you not let them hear you?” Oldman, who has recovered, whispered.

“Unfortunately, Gary, I didn't say it behind my back, I said it in person.” Adrian walked in with his hands and suddenly laughed around.
