    Nicolas Cage!

    This Oscar-winning actor and Hollywood superstar is about to arrive on the set of "Wedding Day is Coming"!

    Except for Master Gia, who looks calm and relaxed, everyone in the crew is looking forward to it. It's great. It's really rare. How many low-cost film projects can invite superstars to guest star?  Or how many film projects are there?

    Yes, it doesn¡¯t take much time to make a cameo. The question is why?  Why would a superstar take the risk of appearing in a bad movie and having his image tarnished?

    Even if Gia had spoken, Cage would have agreed. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Ever since "Windtalker", he really is not afraid of the reputation of acting in bad movies.

    ¡°Has Mr. Cage arrived?¡±, ¡°Not yet.¡±, ¡°No superstar is always late.¡±¡­

    On the open lawn, everyone was talking and waiting. Peter Heller and Sean Maurer were full of excitement. At least the success probability of the film had increased a little.

    They met many NBA stars when filming "Jordan's Descendants", but to be honest, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and others combined, none of them have Kevin.  Oddly half the portion is huge!

    "My cousin's text message has arrived, I'll go get him over."

    At this time, Gia's words suddenly sounded like the sound of nature, and everyone's anxiety suddenly turned into cheers. It's not that I can't come because of something temporary, I'm really here!

    "I'll go with you." Ye Wei followed with a smile. How could he neglect such a big shot?

    "Look at you guys, calm down, calm down!" Gia spread her hands, "It's just a cake in a cage, that's what I call him."

    Everyone laughed, he is not our cousin!

    The two left the set and walked for a while. When they came to the driveway outside the lawn, they saw a black Land Rover RV approaching. At first glance, they knew it was the car of a Hollywood star.

    Ye Wei looked at her questioningly, and Gia nodded. When the RV stopped in front of them, the rear door opened, and out stepped a tall, middle-aged man, wearing a gray shirt and slacks, with a long nose, blue eyes, and a bit of baldness.  His unshaved beard highlights his melancholic temperament, and his smile is friendly.

    It¡¯s not who it is, it¡¯s Cage!

    "Cake, you are so late." Gia walked up angrily and pointed at the watch on her left wrist with her right index finger. "Can you have a sense of time? You are so uncooperative! Don't you know that you have to put on makeup? Don't know what I am doing today?  Want to take some shots? Tell me, what¡¯s your excuse?¡±

    "I'm sorry, my alarm clock is broken." Cage apologized to his niece, but looked at the black-haired Chinese boy next to her. I have heard a lot about VIY recently!

    It¡¯s true that Cage was nearly 20 minutes late, but Verity Ye didn¡¯t complain at all. He didn¡¯t get paid for his guest appearance or anything else, it was just to give him face and give him a chance.  He smiled and walked up: "It's nothing. Fortunately, God is not ugly and can do styling quickly."

    Just change into a white robe and put on some long beard.  I don¡¯t want to do my hair, because firstly, it looks too God-like and there will always be controversy over blasphemy; secondly, because it doesn¡¯t look like Cage, the audience won¡¯t feel it.

    After saying something with a smile, Ye Wei stretched out his right hand and said seriously: "Mr. Cage, thank you very much for your guest appearance. This made us all crazy."

    It's impossible not to be excited in his heart. Cage is one of his favorite actors. Cage's performance of both good and evil in "Face", one of his favorites, is still unforgettable to him. Of course, Cage has so many great things.  Performances, "Birdman", "Far From Casino", "City of Angels"

    "Vampire's Kiss" must be mentioned!  A classic comedy played by Cage when he was young, the funniest and most neurotic vampire in history!  He even actually swallowed a cockroach alive during his performance!

    "Just call me Nick." Cage shook hands with the young man and said with interest: "I am really interested in this project, a project for a 16-year-old film genius."

    "Haha." Ye Weizheng was about to say something with a smile again, but Gia was faster than him, pushing her uncle towards the set, "Don't waste time chatting, go put on makeup quickly!"

    "Okay, okay, Master Gia has the final say!"

    ¡­¡­

    Griffith Park was sparsely populated, and it was a Wednesday. There were not many tourists. Far away from the lawn of the "Paradise" scene, there were only four tourists who happened to be passing by and were taking photos. They were politely stopped by the production staff. I hope  They should not disturb the filming.

    "Nick, I just need you to pretend to be serious, and the rest is up to you."

    Filming is about to start, and the film crew is conducting final inspections, while Ye Wei is telling Cage about the scene, and Gia is supervising the work beside him.

    Although the other party is an Oscar-winning actor, as soon as he enters this moment, Ye Wei??I don't allow myself to have stage fright. If I can't handle it now, "Little Miss Sunshine" still wants to invite superstars to join?  The most junior director is still a director, and the most famous actor is still an actor. There is nothing to be nervous about!

    Seeing Cage nod slightly, he continued: "God doesn't want the God of Wedding to resign because he really can't find anyone else willing to do this job, but he makes the God of Wedding believe that 'you are very important and you are the only one who is qualified.  ', so it's very subtle."

    "I understand." Cage had already finished his pose, shaking his head coquettishly, his brown beard waving, "It's a little mean, right?"

    "Yes!" Ye Wei smiled, "It's MEAN! All the characters in the spoof movie are MEAN, and God is no exception."

    As expected of Cage, he knows what effect is needed almost better than him. It is this kind of a bit mean, which makes people laugh and want to laugh and scold each other affectionately, like an old friend.

    "Then you'd better show your true colors." Gia's eyes glanced at Ye Wei, and she said in a very MEAN tone, "That shouldn't be too NG."

    "Let's see." Ye Wei clapped his hands and shouted to everyone: "Get ready to start!"

    Soon, the set entered shooting mode. The scene looked like this:

    God was sitting by the tree on the lawn, leisurely looking at the deer grazing in the distance, a peaceful and tranquil scene.  But God suddenly saw the God of Wedding approaching, just like seeing the God of Failure. God quickly stood up and wanted to run away, but was stopped by the God of Wedding. Then they walked and talked.

    There was no acting in the first few shots, and it was not difficult to shoot. It took less than half an hour to complete. After shooting a few close-ups and insert shots with rich material, we finally came to the highlight of the scene, a "walking and talking"  Lens, the scene between Ye Wei and Cage!

    There are many ways to shoot this kind of two-person conversation scene. For example, it is commonly used on TV to switch close-ups of the two people back and forth and intersperse several double shots. This is the simplest. Those shots can even be completed on different working days. When shooting close-ups, the actors  Performing in the air, the audience will not know.

    It is also a good idea to decompose this scene into multiple two-person shots with different angles and movements. This way it will be easier to shoot and perform. Just break the work into small pieces and solve them piece by piece. Be careful not to cross the axis.  good.

    But the long shot of "walking and talking"!

    But it is a test of scene scheduling. There is no complicated scheduling, it just looks like a home DV video. Only a well-designed walk-and-talk that is both interesting and dramatic is necessary.

    It also tests the skills of the actors. Just speaking a dozen lines in sequence in one breath will cause memory and recitation problems. Some actors can't even remember more than three turns of lines at a time!

    There are also changes in performance to consider. There are multiple levels in one shot, which is also a headache for many actors.

    A good "walk and talk" is like flowing water. The audience doesn't notice anything, but they have already seen a lot.

    This scene only has a back-and-forth dialogue between God and the God of Weddings, and nothing else. Therefore, "walking and talking" can complete this process most quickly and focus the audience's attention. It can also take the audience to appreciate the beauty of heaven, and at the same time, it is consistent with the scene.  The atmosphere in front of me is that God wants to escape.

    As a director, Ye Wei's choice of "walking and talking" here is perfect, but as an actor, he seems to be a little confused about life and death

    They did not lay tracks, but asked Maurer to put on a Steadicam and operate the camera. In front of the camera, the two leading actors stood side by side, preparing to start the show.

    "Hoo, ho!" Ye Wei took a few deep breaths, punched a few times and jumped a few times like a boxer in the ring, then nodded to the assistant director: "Okay."

    ? And Nicolas Cage is calm and composed, what big scene has he never seen before?

    "Start recording." Jennifer Anderson directed. Everyone around was quiet. Gia looked like she was watching the show. Guess how many NG shots it took for this shot to pass?

    "Scene 32, shot eight, shot one."

    ¡°Click, ¡°Action.¡±

    Hearing this sound, the two of them walked forward on the preset route, and the performance began!
