- "Boy, who do you think the director should be on the set?"
Before we even arrived at the set, Spielberg asked me a question like a test, with a smile on his face.
Ye Wei had a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind. There is no standard for this kind of question. Every director should have his own style. Sincere answers are more touching
Looking back on the three days of filming "Dance of Angels", each scene emerged before his eyes. He said sincerely: "Friends, I will be friends with my team members. If you are a boss, a king, or a god, things may be done better." Fast, but everyone will become a group of yes-men, without passion or care, just a job.
¡°But film is a team creation, no one knows everything, and you will get more if you complement each other. Especially friends, they will have the greatest energy, regard the crew as their own home, and think about how to make it better. Moreover, everyone will establish friendship and have the next cooperation. The efficiency of the old friends crew, will be higher.
This is the way I like directing. "
"Are they just friends?" Spielberg asked again, seemingly dissatisfied and his smile softened.
Ye Wei frowned, a little confused. Not only was this what he was saying, but Spielberg was also a director of this type. And like James Cameron, his relationship with the crew members has always been troubled. Controversial, many actors who have worked with him will say "I will never work with him again" after finishing filming, and they really do that.
Unlike Spielberg, there are many actors and crew who have become long-term friends with him, such as Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Zemeckis and others. It can be said that they have formed their own power group and work together to achieve common goals. Enter.
Not every director is James Cameron, and Cameron cannot become a giant like Spielberg. Why is the old man dissatisfied?
This statement is a bit mediocre? Ye Wei thought and added: "I wouldn't say just a friend. Sometimes you have to play other roles. Sometimes you are the boss, sometimes even a villain, but most of the time you are a friend, a friend that people love and hate. , and will always love him in the end.¡±
Spielberg didn¡¯t say anything after hearing this, and continued to walk forward. He didn¡¯t know what his attitude was.
??Additional points or reduced points? Ye Wei scratched his forehead and ignored it, just be himself.
There are more than 30 studios at Paramount headquarters. Since November last year, "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" has been filming in 10 of them. The one they are walking into now is a short distance away from Paramount's headquarters. The iconic water tower is not far away, and inside is an important scene in the film: Count Olaf's mansion.
This is a Hollywood blockbuster studio. At a glance, it can be seen that there are at least two to three hundred staff members. It is very busy and noisy. Whether it is the rest area of ??the "base camp", the dining area, or the photography and performance area of ??the studio, everyone is here. People came and went, filled with shouts from all parts of the crew.
If this was a market, then the set of "Dance of Angels" would be the front yard lawn stalls.
¡°The damn lighting isn¡¯t done yet?¡±
¡°The lighting is good, but the set is too slow!¡±
"No, the camera is placed here, it seems to be off-axis?", "Where it was just now, it is within 180 degrees from here, there is absolutely no off-axis!", "Scene notes!"
A few people who were arguing about whether the next plane should be on the right side of the plane heard something said by the assistant who was walking past. They immediately stopped and turned around. When they saw something, they all came over with smiles.
"Hey Steven, welcome!"
The 40-year-old director Brad Sebornen, a white man with long hair and glasses; the 50-year-old producer Laurie McDonald, a healthy white woman with blond hair, and the 40-year-old photographer Ai Manuel Lubezki (2-time Oscar nominee for Best Cinematography) and Spielberg came to visit, and they would not neglect it at that time.
Spielberg smiled and exchanged greetings with them, and the director and cinematographer went back to continue arguing, while the producer took the big shot on a tour of the set.
Ye Wei followed beside him, looking at the busy surroundings with dishonest eyes, his blood boiling all over, it was a blockbuster studio! marvelous! What about Jim Carrey and Streep? It¡¯s not that I¡¯m thinking about getting autographs, it¡¯s always exciting to see your favorite actors in person.
But he regretfully discovered that none of them were on set this morning! It seemed that only a few young actors came.
Like Emily Browning, who played the role of sister "Violet", he remembered the information he had checked before. She was a girl from Australia who was over 15 years old and started acting at the age of 10. She had already acted in many movies, such as "Only to the Heaven" ", "Ghost Ship", and last year's "Kelly Party", she was Heath Ledger's younger sister. She has quite a temperament and looks like a girl next door.
Emily Browning, who had finished rehearsal over there, suddenly looked over.
Ye Wei smiled slightly, then withdrew his gaze and followed the big shot intently.
"We plan to shoot for another three days, and we will leave here and continue shooting at the Downey Studio in the suburbs. The setting is a huge challenge, but fortunately we have caught up with the progress."
Along the way, Laurie MacDonald told Spielberg about the progress of the filming and introduced various aspects of the set. At this time, everyone came to the surveillance playback area, where a large TV connected to cables was placed. At Li's signal, the assistant played the video material that had been taken before. Those films could not be seen.
Nearly ten people stood in the small area. The more powerful the people, the more in front. Ye Wei was able to stand in the second row because of his honor.
He looked at the TV screen with interest, maybe he could take a sneak peek at Stepley's performance?
"These are some shots that were just taken." However, Laurie laughed and said that it was Emily Browning's performance. At this time, director Seiboning also came over, smiling. Spielberg nodded and praised: "It looks good."
Ye Wei frowned and vaguely saw a little uncoordinated black shadow on the right side of the frame of the shot just now. It seemed that the microphone was captured, but the speed was very fast and the black shadow was very small. In addition, the gorgeous The set was distracting and he wasn't 100% sure
What should I do? If I don¡¯t say anything, I won¡¯t make a mistake, but I won¡¯t show anything, and I¡¯m here to show it today! This is also an attitude towards filming, every detail must be done well!
"Wait!" Thinking of this, Ye Wei shouted.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not not do it, they heard him continue: "Can you go back to the shot just now and take another look? It seems to be a through-hole shot, and there is a microphone on the right side of the frame."
"What? No way?" Saiboning looked surprised, "We have watched several scenes several times, why didn't we find"
It didn¡¯t take much effort, the assistant operated the rewind. In fact, everyone has been wondering who this teenager is. Judging from his clothes, he is a student of Harvard-Westlake School, at most a high school student! It's not surprising that he is the child of a friend of a big shot, but the "assistant" is strange.
Spielberg¡¯s smile did not change, and he and everyone took a closer look at the suspected gangster scene. However, after playing it several times, freezing and freezing, nothing was found.
What's going on? Ye Wei's eyes widened. There was clearly a dark shadow just now But with the facts in front of him, he could only smile: "Uh, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong."
"Nothing.", "Continue!" No one paid much attention, and Seboning said happily: "I just said it." Spielberg looked at Ye Wei and said with a smile: "Young man, you don't know how to read It¡¯s something supernatural.¡±
"Haha, maybe!" Ye Wei responded with a smile, feeling a little nervous. Oh no, not only did he not show off, but he was also embarrassed. He had to find a chance to get it back soon
¡°It¡¯s just that for a long time, he didn¡¯t have a chance. Until the studio quieted down and entered the shooting mode, an unexpected situation occurred.
This is a scene between Emily Browning and Liam Aiken, who plays her brother. After she NGed once, she made a serious request to everyone on camera: "I want that teenager The boy 'avoids looking' because he reminds me of my classmates and makes it difficult to get involved"
The so-called avoidance of sight means disappearing within the sight of an actor.
"Uh OK." Ye Wei was startled, and when everyone looked at him, he smiled calmly: "The boy's name is Ye Wei, I will disappear right now, and you can play well."
At the moment, he could only run far away, almost leaving the studio, and the shooting area turned into a dark shadow.
Having lost the opportunity to express his opinions to the big shot, Ye Wei couldn't help but feel sulky and a little bit slanderous. Australian girls are really big names. They avoid looking at her, Jiabao
But thinking about it, she just wanted to perform well, so I can¡¯t blame her, hey! Streep's performance is so good, she definitely doesn't need anyone to avoid it.
Until more than half an hour later, when Spielberg's visit to the team was completed and the group left the studio, Ye Wei did nothing except having an embarrassing moment, being kicked aside and eating a donut. , showing no directing talent or familiarity with the set.
The big shot¡¯s schedule was tight. Then Spielberg went to the Paramount Administration Building to attend some meeting. Because it involved business secrets, Ye Wei could not continue to follow him, so he went back to the Lincoln car to wait.
The situation took a turn for the worse. When the meeting ended, Spielberg and others returned to the Lincoln car and left Paramount headquarters. The morning had passed, but Ye Wei only had the initial performance of "Ducks are bad, geese are good". ! It depends on the understanding of China.
Noon, SpielbergGe was going to have lunch with a big shot at Universal Pictures to discuss the release of "The Terminal."
Ye Wei continued to be unable to participate and just stayed in the Lincoln car to eat KFC fast food.
Noon passed again, and in the afternoon, the nightmare had just begun. Spielberg came to the editing room in West Hollywood to edit "The Terminal". However! This old man and his editor Michael Kahn (6 Oscar nominations for Best Editing, 3 wins) actually use traditional linear editing!
It is on the editing table, using scissors to edit the film, editing with Moviola (Moviola splicing machine), and previewing with the KEM platform This is the way it was done in the 1970s!
To be honest, Ye Wei couldn't help at all and could only stand aside and stare. The editing he learned was non-linear editing, which is an advanced digital technology in the 21st century, not this old antique that has been discontinued long ago. He even I can't figure out which accessories are which.
And in front of Michael Kahn, he could only study, and he didn't know much about "The Terminal", so there was nothing he could express, so he could only watch and study while helping with some moving chores.
But something bad still happened. Just when Ye Wei was using a KEM to watch a piece of discarded film that had been cut off and thrown on the floor, the KEM got stuck! broken¡¡
Or maybe it was inherently bad and just happened to happen to him.
Ye Wei watched Spielberg knocking and typing on the KEM, feeling a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't do anything to it" Kahn on the other side of the editing desk shouted: "Don't do anything to it." The parts are also broken! Take the good parts off and use them to assemble a good one!¡±
"Goodbye, old man. Boy, I only have 29 good KEMs left." Spielberg shook his head, paused, and said, "If they all break, my movie career will be over. Because without machines, there is no way to edit movies, and those manufacturers no longer produce them.¡±
29 units? Ye Wei was speechless, really impressed by these two old antiques. At the same time, he became more and more anxious, and another embarrassment occurred!
When the afternoon passed and the group left the editing room, Ye Wei didn't even come back. "A clumsy wooden person who occasionally makes a few witticisms." This is his evaluation of himself. If it weren't for the witty words or getting into trouble, Spielberg would probably They all forgot who he was.
This is not good!
It was already dark at this time, and the intensive schedule continued. Spielberg was going to the Roosevelt Hotel in West Hollywood to attend a filmmaker's salon. After all, it was almost this year's Oscars, and there were a lot of activities among the big shots.
Ye Wei could see the referee looking at his watch, about to blow the whistle to end the overtime, and now he was still behind by a big score! The only thing left that can allow him to perform is this salon. Fortunately, he was allowed to accompany the big shot and see the world together.
Under the night, with bright lights, a group of people entered the Roosevelt Hotel. Soon, they arrived at the luxurious banquet hall where the salon was held. It was already bustling with dozens of people in twos and threes drinking wine and talking about something.
"Look who that is, haha, the 'unearthed cultural relics' are here!"
Just as they walked in, a middle-aged and elderly white man with a white beard walked over with a smile and started teasing Spielberg.
Oh, my God! Ye Wei was suddenly startled and a little stunned. Why didn't anyone tell him that this person would also participate in this salon!
George Lucas! ! !
