- "After two days of crazy progress, our crew has taken shape."
In Scarborough, Cliffside, Toronto, a P video was being played on the TV in the living room. A graceful girl was sitting on the sofa watching, with a look of shock on her pretty face.
The boy on the screen looked at a document in his hand and introduced: "In addition to me, Andrew Grande and Heck Porterko, they are the co-producers and screenwriters.
The photographer is Michael Grady Ta1Gran. This guy has enough photography experience. He has shot 3 episodes of TV series and 13 movies in total, all of which are movies and independent films. Only one documentary "The Wrestling Man" has done this. It was released in theaters with a box office of 200,000. He knows how to shoot documentaries. In this work, he is not only a photographer, but also a director of photography. That means he is responsible for the scene management of the photography part. He also did the same for the other two films, but not this time. He is the cinematographer, and all the directing work is mine.
There is another reason for hiring him. He just filmed a thriller "Dead Man" this year. I watched it and he used the mirror very well. He looks like he is starting to enter a new level. By the way, Eva Congglia, the star of "Dead Men and Women" did a good job. You know the one in "Desperate Housewives" that is very popular recently?
OK, we have a photographer, and then we find a few other important people. The crew needs an art department, a supervisor who integrates art direction, art design, set designers, props designers, and two executive artists. This supervisor is Julie Berghoff. She is a newcomer. She has only worked on one short film, one movie, and "Saw"
Hahaha, the horrific instruments of torture in "Saw" are all due to her. This woman has a great understanding of horror. I contacted her with the intention of giving it a try, and it worked. She is good friends with James Wan and Ray Whannell. Shh don't let them know, they will kill me with a chainsaw.
To be honest, this is a new challenge for Berghof, because she only worked as an art director before and didn¡¯t do much in the art design area. I believe she can do it well.
?Then there is the costume and makeup department, which is very important to us. Maggie's horrible, pitiful appearance when she is possessed is designed to be dressed up. We found Mayes Rubeo ae. Bube), she has been in this industry for almost 2 years. Her first film job was "Talk Radio" in 1966, as a costume designer assistant. I was born that year, amazing, right? She was not as lucky as me. For a long time, she could only work as a costume manager and wardrobe supervisor, just like a security guard
Finally, in 1933, she worked as a costume designer for the first time. "The Battle for the Earth" was not a successful film, so although she has B-movies now, they are all movies and small-budget independent films. She's not famous, but she's really talented. I like her performance in this year's "The Librarian: The Adventure of the Spear of Destiny," which is a poor version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Her style is full of mystery. , there is a sense of remoteness far away from modern times, which is what we want.
Yes, her specialty is all in clothing, and she doesn¡¯t have much ability in makeup. In fact, because it is a mockumentary, other people except Maggie don¡¯t know how to put on makeup, but someone needs to wait on Maggie, Rubeo. Her little friend Martha Villanueva was invited to help. Martha was a newcomer and had only worked in three movies, one of which was "The Adventure of the Spear of Destiny". She was an additional makeup artist.
I like newcomers and people who are looking for advancement, and so do I. Maybe everyone¡¯s abilities are not the best, but everyone is full of passion and care, and there are no complaints even if they work overtime, unlike those old fritters who don¡¯t give money. Kenga.
In addition to these brothers and sisters, we also need sound engineers and microphone operators, lighting engineers, recorders, catering supervisors, and three field workers who are willing to appear on camera. If enough, I am going to recruit these people directly in Toronto, because these positions have no creative requirements. As long as the professional ability is sufficient.
You know, everyone has no assistants, which is really hard. Even my special assistant, Master Jia, has to go to school and has no time to come. In fact, I didn¡¯t let her know, otherwise what if she dropped out of school and came to join in the fun? Her grandpa would Make an offer that I can't refuse. Ahem, slip of the tongue, it's not mineAnyway
Michael Grady said that he must be assigned a camera assistant, because he would not be able to carry a film camera for 2 hours a day, or even longer, haha
¡°It¡¯s understandable for him. To shoot a mockumentary, you have to use handheld photography. This is a photography method pioneered by the master of photography Huang Zongzhan. It has been said to be obsolete for some years, but now it is becoming popular again. Our project requires handheld photography almost throughout the entire process, which is sometimes very shaking and dizzying, just like a pseudo-documentary.
Who is the most dedicated photographer in the world? Yes, the answer is the photographer in the mockumentary. Who is being chased by monsters and still filming? them. Who would be carrying dozens of pounds when running as fast as possible? them. They won't throw away the camera until they die
And our camera is not the Canon M7001, but the PannaVixShen's Flex lightweight second generation aafeLte111).
At first, I wanted to use Panavision¡¯s latest Millennium XL2I11cutum2, which was launched this year. It is also a lightweight camera, but Grady said it was still too heavy and too big to be suitable for shooting mockumentaries. I said okay, just use Flex2. It is a 1993 model, an antique.
This gave me a new idea. I moved the time background of the story to the 1930s, and what we shot will be ancient video tapes.
Grady had nothing to say, because the Flex II was Panavision's lightest machine. The only option was that it was a 3NN film camera that could record simultaneously. All non-essential components were removed, and the body weighed only 14 pounds. With the lens and a box of film installed, it weighs about 6 pounds (2 kilograms), which is really heavy, and Grady will really feel uncomfortable. But I rejected his request, why, because I can also take pictures. When Grady can't take pictures, I will help, and Andrew Grande can also do it.
I am not going to use its synchronized recording, the effect will not be good, it will be lighter. We had a sound engineer, and a battery guy, the third member of Cotton's camera crew. This old antique didn't have its own battery, and even if it did, it wouldn't be enough.
These are all decided, so I led the team back to Toronto. The official launch of the project starts on the 4th today. In fact, we have stolen some time, hush Anyway, we have to complete the production in the next 2 days. Counting the weekend, it will be the 2nd So far, it will be just in time for the Christmas holiday, okay? Ha ha.
We will take up to three days to complete pre-production before filming: recruit the rest of the crew, find the leading actors, buy insurance for them, determine the shooting location, and rent equipment. Panavision only rents Sold; thenstart shooting
"Some actors can be found the day before filming, but not the leading role. I have already found the candidate for Maggie, which is you. How about Nina Dobrev? Are you interested in starring in my movie? Yunique Gu's film. "
After all the videos were played, Nina stayed for a while, then suddenly came back to her senses, looked around and shouted: "Where is Yunik? Come here, what is this?"
Instead of calling Yunique, she called her mother. She came to the living room in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"He" Nina didn't know what to say, her heart was pounding, she got up and walked out of the house.
It was already past B o'clock on the night of the 4th, and the night sky was pitch black. She came to the utility room and knocked on the door: "It's me." The door was opened by Yunik, who smiled and said hello: "Surprise?" She left Entering the room, the heater hit my face. I took off my coat and hung it on the coat rack, and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding me?" Ye Wei looked at her uncertain face and closed the door, "If you mean the PB, no, it's not a joke, it's a very serious invitation."
"Oh." Nina's face turned red, as if she was overflowing with excitement, and her big almond-like eyes blinked, "You mean, you want to make a new movie, just for me?"
Ye Wei nodded: "Yes, part of the reason is that I want to prove my professional ability. 3, 70% is for you. This script and this project were born because of you."
"But I don't understand" Nina couldn't help but say, her eyes flashing.
"It doesn't matter. What don't you understand? Let me explain it to you?"
Looking at his concerned eyes, Nina couldn't say what she wanted to say. It wasn't that she didn't understand, she couldn't believe it. This thing was too crazy and such a dream. No matter what, he would still be VIY. His movie project was Little Miss Sunshine ", his actors are Meryl Tripp, Julia Roberts Nina Dobrev is nothing
For her happiness, for what she said we would work together, for her wish, he actually wanted to make a professional movie starring her
He also signed them all as Yunik-Gu, just because of her.
"I just don't understand" Nina's eyes were hot, tears welled up in her eyes and soon fell.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Ye Wei quickly put his arm around her shoulders and rubbed her hair affectionately with the other. I thought to myself that I might have guessed the girl's thoughts wrongly again, right? She should be happy, right? Could it be that he was joking about Master Gia? What went wrong? He just wanted her to get to know his friends gradually.
Nina shed tears and smiled, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and said foolishly, "I don't understand why you are so nice"
"Ha" Ye Wei suddenly laughed, hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her passionately for a while, then separated and asked: "Then you agreed?" Nina smiled and pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about it. Aftertaste. He pretended to be regretful and said: "If you don't want to act, I will have to find one of your friends from the gymnastics team to act, Alice? Liz?"
"No, this is our movie." Nina hit him on the chest coquettishly, "I'm a little worried about whether I can perform well. The ballet I performed is about dancing. There are no expressions, and there is no drama. Proficient and good at schoolStart learning, I'm a novice at acting, like you skiing. "
Ye Weiyi smiled, walked to the computer desk, and said: "It doesn't matter, sometimes true acting is enough, and I will direct the positioning and other aspects. Some people's unpolished true acting can be very amazing, I have learned a lot. Do you know Keisha Castle-Hughes in "Whale Rider", who acted too much and became mediocre? It was her first performance at the age of 10, her first time in a movie, and she finally got the award. This year¡¯s Oscar nominee for Best Actress.¡±
He typed on the keyboard a few times, and the computer screen displayed a picture of Hueys attending the Oscars. Thinking something was wrong, he turned it off and opened her "Whale Rider" stills.
Nina walked over and took a look. She was really stimulated and encouraged. She nodded with confidence: "I will try my best to act well, but if I don't act well, don't be harsh on me"
"No, I will help you." Ye Wei patted her hand, "I want to see your performance, so now make a painful expression?"
"Ah, ah" Nina immediately looked in pain, twitching the features on her face and grinning.
"Hmm OK." Ye Wei refused to comment and said: "Now make a scared and confused expression. There is a devil inside you."
Nina calmed down, frowned slightly, and moved her eyes to both sides, as if pitifully
"OK, both of your performances are a bit too much for screen performance. Don't worry, this is normal. Regardless of whether they understand the technique or not, whether they have stage experience or not, people who perform on screen for the first time can easily go overboard. AnnaSophia -Rob, I was more over-acting than you were at the beginning of "Dance of the Angels", and I was also over-acting at the beginning of "Wedding Day". And Maggie has scenes that require over-acting."
Ye Wei walked to the bed and said, "Lie down on the bed now." Nina came over and lay down. She didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes were wandering, "What next?" Ye Wei listened to her gentle tone and looked at her The graceful figure, the ups and downs between breaths, and the charming breath filled the air. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's so sweet and spicy.
Unfortunately, it was not the right place and time. He suppressed his thoughts and said seriously: "This is an exorcism scene in the script. I am an exorcist. I will exorcise you, and the demon will react violently in your body. If you are in extreme pain, struggling, and screaming, it¡¯s okay to go overboard, just give it a try.¡±
Nina said yes, Ye Wei closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let himself enter the performance state. In the first exorcism of the story, Cotton still didn't believe in the devil, so he used Jianghu tricks Opening his eyes, he started acting He stood up and said an impromptu line: "Devil, do you think God doesn't know the sins of torturing this innocent girl? You are finished, you are finished. God's light will surely redeem every kind person, you are finished."
He quickly made a sound like a mantra from scripture.
Nina on the bed began to twist her body, grabbing the sheets with both hands, kicking her feet back and forth, her face was full of excessive pain, suddenly her eyes widened, and she screamed miserably: "Oh, go away, you devil, no!" , let me go, God, save me, ah"
"Devil, you can't run away, and you can't hurt her." Ye Wei waved his hands, making impromptu gestures, and continued to read something.
"Ah, ugh help me, I feel so uncomfortable, ah"
Ye Wei stretched out his right hand and made a sign of the cross in the air, raised his head as if bathing in the holy light, suddenly bent over, reached out with his right hand, and pressed Nina's forehead, "Devil, die."
"Ahhhh" Nina suddenly screamed louder and more fiercely. Her feet made the bed board bang, and the whole bed shook with her struggle. Her blood was rushing up, her face was red, and her ears were red, and her veins were looming. The screams became more and more crazy: "Devil, go away, don't pester me, ahah ah"
Suddenly at this moment, a burst of panicked running footsteps rushed over, "Nina", "Damn boy, stop"
The door was knocked open. Ye Wei and Nina were stunned. Looking at the door, they saw Constantine and Mihaela rushing in. Constantine was still holding a baseball bat in his hand. , the one on the porch. When they took a clear look at the situation in the room, although their daughter was lying on the bed, something seemed wrong
"What are you doing" Mihaela grabbed her husband and asked in shock.
"What are you doing? Come on, we are rehearsing a play." Nina shouted shyly and anxiously. It was so embarrassing. What did they think happened? Did Yunik rape her? Will he? So shameful. She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at them, "What are you still doing standing there? Let's go."
"Uh-huh." The Konstantins laughed awkwardly and turned to leave. Mihaela reminded in a low voice: "You should also pay attention to the volume during rehearsals."
Ye Wei nodded and said: "Okay, it was our mistake just now. We scared you. I'm sorry, I will pay attention." After they left, he closed the door of the room where he was almost killed. He couldn't help laughing loudly, and immediately I laughed so hard that I couldn't straighten my waist, "Hahahaha, hahaha"
"Laugh." Nina covered her face and smiled helplessly, "TheyIt's so funny. "
"No, no, they are reacting normally, it's our fault." Ye Wei finally stopped laughing, picked up the pillow and threw it back on the bed, "Let's stop here this time, otherwise the police should come, and I will be in the media tomorrow It seems to be a scandal of raping a girl, haha"
Nina sat up, straightened her clothes that were messed up by her struggle, rolled her eyes when she heard this, and asked, "Then how did I behave?"
"That's right." Ye Wei said, not lying. "At least you can burst out. It's not scary at all when we act like this, but it's different in the movie. It will make the audience worried, nervous, and scared. And I think you It can be done better.¡±
"What should I do?" Nina listened.
Ye Wei walked towards the computer desk and said: "You know that the filming will start in less than three days. It is meaningless to work on acting skills now, but creating characters is different. We must seize this point and spend the remaining time , you have to understand Maggie, let yourself be Maggie, and be whatever you want.
"Yeah." After listening to his words, Nina nodded, feeling that he was so professional and powerful, but also felt a little nihilistic and didn't quite understand, "You mean?"
"Feeling." Ye Wei picked up a full black luggage bag from the computer desk, walked to the bed, and said to her: "You have to find a feeling and then immerse yourself in it.
What is feeling? ¡®There¡¯s not a day in my life when I don¡¯t feel like a fraud. , this is the first sentence of Father Merlin in the dialogue with the possessed little girl in "The Exorcist", and this is how he feels. In "Star Wars", Obi-Wan gave Luke Skywalker the first training lesson. He told you about your self-awareness and follow your instincts. Your eyes will deceive you. Don't believe them, just follow your feelings and stretch your body. , this is the secret of using the Force, and it is also the secret of performance. "
Nina understood this, and said with enlightenment: "Yunique, rhythmic gymnastics and dance are also about feeling, and you have to follow the rhythm and feeling of the music to do the movements.
"That's it." Ye Wei praised and put the luggage bag on the bed. "Feeling is something that can be shared. Only when the filmmaker's feeling, the character's feeling, and the audience's feeling are consistent, can the feeling be achieved." There will be great movies, great performances, great everything.
When you can¡¯t grasp the technique, just grasp the feeling. These can help you, they are a source of feeling. "
He opened the zipper of the luggage bag, and Nina looked at it curiously, "What's there?" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
