Under a clear sky, the crew of "Soul Surfer" is filming on the beach north of Wainiha, Kauai.
The scenes this morning were all surfing training scenes on the sea. For this purpose, the filming team took a small and medium-sized speedboat, with only a few streamlined photography and lighting personnel. The sound department was not dispatched, and all was done in post-recording, because there was a boat It is impossible to record high-quality dialogue tracks even with the sound of natural waves and natural ocean waves.
Maurer carried the camera and did handheld photography. He and the director agreed to use conventional techniques. The lens undulated slightly to give the audience the visual experience of being in the waves.
Next to him, Ye Wei looked at the several leading actors on the sea, each leaning on a surfboard and paddling past. What is being filmed now is Bethany returning to the sea for the first time after breaking her arm, training with her family, but it is not easy and she fails one after another.
Wearing a swimsuit and boxer shorts, Emma struggled to paddle with one hand. Her left hand was covered with a long green glove from a small part of her arm to her fingers, hanging naturally to the side. In the later stage, her left hand was erased through CGI special effects and then covered with a synthetic background. The principle is the same as in "Dance of Angels". In the future, the audience will see a one-armed girl on the big screen.
?Compared with facial performance, these surfing shots focus more on physical performance. The crew shoots as much material as possible and then selects it in the editing room.
The advantages of digital photography are highlighted at this time. The shooting ratio is no longer important. You can shoot without turning off the machine. All you have to do is control the time.
"Cut." Ye Wei suddenly said, "That's right, let's move on to the next one."
Everyone stopped and started working again. Gia, who was also on the speedboat, glanced at Ye Wei. He was wearing a white T-shirt and brown trousers, with a pair of black-framed goggles on his forehead. He was holding a director's microphone and looked calm.
¡°Action.¡±
"Cut, passed."
¡°I wanted a bigger wave, big enough to catch Bethany in the whirlpool.¡±
"Good, let's continue."
¡°cut.¡±
This filming lasted for an hour intermittently. Everyone returned to the beach to rest for 15 minutes. The assistants gathered around them with towels. Surfing scenes are physical work for the actors. Even professional surfers need to rest while training.
Ye Wei¡¯s feet in flip-flops stepped on the soft sand and walked towards the food supply table by the woods not far away.
The studio and base camp are right next to the beach. They are kept as simple as possible and environmentally friendly. The residents of Waniha Town are very welcoming and fully support the filming of SS. Even the "Hanalei Day Spa" has a 30% discount. The only requirement is that the crew cannot make the place a mess.
However, there were more than thirty people there, and it was a lively scene. There were also some tourists wandering around, and they were blocked by a few local security guards.
In the first week of filming, residents came to join in the fun, both inside and outside, to watch the filming, look forward to guest appearances, and get autographs and photos with celebrities during their free time. After more than half a month, there are no more people watching, and guest stars and supporting actors are waiting to be recruited by the crew.
¡°Director.¡±, ¡°Weige.¡± People kept saying hello along the way.
Ye Weidu nodded in response, and quickly picked up a Hawaiian pork rice ball from the food supply table and ate it, "I'm starving, but I still need to grow up." He took three rice balls in both hands before walking back. Go and see Gia walking over.
"I want to talk to you." Gia said, her face expressionless.
This is her latest signature expression. Whenever Ye Wei sees her in a day, she looks like this most of the time, as if someone owes her a million and hasn't paid back.
"What? Do you want a pork rice ball?" He handed her the rice ball in his left hand, followed her into the woods, and walked away from the set.
"No." Gia didn't answer, her slender eyebrows slightly raised, "I want to resign."
Ye Wei looked at her in astonishment, was silent for two seconds, and suddenly shouted: "What the hell? Gia, what's wrong with you, are you afraid of spreading scandals with me? To make your boyfriend unhappy? Please, man, who doesn't? Know we are bromance!¡±
Gia looked serious, "That's not the reason. When I became your assistant, I wanted to learn how to make movies from you and help you make movies. But are you really making movies now?"
"Now?" Ye Wei looked at himself and the lush trees around him, then ate another rice ball and said with a smile, "Not now, I'm eating."
"I'm not kidding you."
"Of course it is!"
Gia smiled coldly, tilted her lips, and said: "I can't see your seriousness, your passion, your creativity! You are just playing, relying on your talent and talent to work , you are just working! You are not making a movie, I can¡¯t watch it anymore.¡±
?Ye Wei finished eating the three rice balls in his hands and became serious: "Giya, you can't think that I have a bad attitude just because I don't shout fire anymore. I'm very serious."
"You didn't." Gia shook her head, "The day after you arrived in Hawaii, you fooled around with that Anastasia Ashley"
"That's private life in private time." Ye Wei interrupted her, "Did I have any influence on the preparations? The progress of the filming? No!"
"But you are just working. Ask yourself, are you really trying your best?"
Gia couldn't hold back her anger, staring at him with both eyes, getting more and more excited as she spoke: "What's the point of standing on the boat just now? You didn't even bother to say more, just talk about action and cut. I can do these two too." Say! Think about how you shot "The Wedding is Coming". Every shot has your pursuit. There is no ok, only good or no-good!"
"Jiya, the situation is different." Ye Wei smiled bitterly and explained: "Those shots just now were almost scenery shots. What can I say? Please paddle faster?"
"That's right! You can say this, but you didn't say it either!" Gia was angry, "Just let Emma decide on her own, what does she know!"
"She rows very well! Emma has entered the performance state, and I can receive the goods with satisfaction."
Ye Wei glanced at the beach set over there and continued: "You know this is my fourth movie. I admit that I am not as passionate as in the first one. Isn't this normal? I have learned to express myself calmly. Demand doesn¡¯t mean you have to scream hoarse to do your best. Believe me, I¡¯m doing my best.¡±
Gia was very suspicious, "You are only 18 years old. A few months ago you were full of passion for making movies. Now you remind me of some of the studio veterans I have seen, working on and off work! You said you hate Hollywood, but all you do is A Hollywood director! Not an independent director. Where is your dream?" she yelled.
"Do you think Anastasia and I are just fooling around?" Ye Wei suddenly laughed, "I'm not very familiar with surfing. The main reason why I dated and surfed with her was to learn. In fact, it really deepened my understanding. My perception, I got more surf shots.¡±
"Where's Amber Heard, what did you learn from her?" Gia asked, "Where's Doutzen-Klose, how did you learn how to do catwalk shows? What are they doing in Hawaii!"
Ye Wei raised his hands in a funny way and said, "Who knows? Your boyfriend also came to Hawaii last weekend. Filmmaking and women are two parallel things! I handled it very well."
"I hope that's the case." Gia smiled, "But I still have to resign and leave today. I want to use this action to tell you that your old buddy, buddy, and opponent, Gian Cara Coppola , I am very disappointed in you, from your life to the way you make movies! I hope it can alert you."
"Please, you can't resign just because you said you were resigning." Ye Wei frowned. He really didn't want her to resign. When he saw her turning around to walk back to the set, he quickly chased after her and shouted: "Gia! Be professional!"
"You don't need me. There's not that much work. Parela and the others are enough. Do you know why?" Gia stopped and looked at him. "Because you didn't give us much work. We didn't do anything. You go and have fun." , and then you said you tried your best.¡±
"Master Jia, you are trying to get into trouble." Ye Wei shouted anxiously, "Our total cycle is not long! It's not like your grandfather did "Youth Without Youth" for 6 months. 1 month! Everything is required. Accurate, efficient and fast, we don¡¯t save money, but we want to save wasted effort!
It¡¯s because of the accuracy that the workload is not particularly heavy. Only by combining work and rest can we maintain efficiency. Our whole crew works hard during the day and rests at night. I have sex with women at night. This is a combination of work and rest, my God! "
"You just want to say that you tried your best." Gia looked directly at him.
"Yes." Ye Wei nodded.
"Do you believe it yourself?" Gia asked.
"Please" Ye Wei laughed.
Gia asked again: "The crew only has 10 working days left. Do you think you have made any progress after filming this movie? Don't you think your upper limit is now?"
"Please" Ye Wei's laughter became deeper and deeper, like the lingering sound echoing in the valley.
"Seeing how shameless you are, I really want to beat you up." Gia turned to look at the busy beach set, "When "Soul Surfer" was released, the audience said, 'It's okay,' and 'No surprises. ', 'disappointing', is that what you want? Will you regret not filming it now?"
"You are really Master Gia now." Ye Wei sighed with a scratchy smile.
"I always have been," Gia said.
"Giya!" Ye Wei suddenly became solemn, "If I must be likeIt makes you happy if a lunatic makes a movie like that, so I'll do that and don't leave, okay? His voice was pleading: "You know pure bromance, I don't want to lose you, don't resign, we still have three projects a year." "
"Shouldn't you coax that woman first?" Gia suddenly laughed, a bit mockingly.
Ye Wei thought she was referring to Emma, ??but when he turned around, he saw a sexy blonde girl walking over, Scarlett Johansson. He couldn't help but curse "bastard" and quickly explained to Gia: "I don't know what happened. I didn't ask her to come. I didn't have sex with her. She was lying, really!"
"You are such a talented person, but you are not willing to give half of your talent to the movie. You betrayed her! I hope I am wrong, you really know what you are doing."
After Gia said that, she raised her hand and patted his shoulder, then strode away.
"Damn it." Ye Wei watched Scarlett approaching, his face suddenly became angry, and he walked towards her and couldn't help but roared: "What are you doing!?"
"Visiting class." Scarlett smiled with a smile on her face. She was wearing a short-sleeved tight white T-shirt and a variegated floral skirt. Her chest was held up high, revealing her sexy slit, and her waist and legs were also showing off. curve. She said: "When I have free time these days, I will come to Hawaii to see you."
"Are you crazy? We don't have any passionate encounters like him!" Ye Wei was almost furious. Scarlett smiled: "Sir, I think so." She picked up the black Prada handbag, "I brought you some snacks."
Ye Wei saw some people on the set looking over here gossiping, and thinking that those tourists must have seen her coming to visit the studio, her anger became even more intense, "You fucking crazy bitch."
"Weige, you are so rude." Scarlett smiled even more happily, seeming to enjoy his depression.
"What do you want?" He calmed down his anger.
"You know what I want." She looked charming and puffed out her chest, "Satisfy some of my vulgar needs."
Ye Wei said calmly: "I have an idea. Listen to it. Get out of Hawaii immediately. This matter is over. If you want to confirm our scandal, it has already been confirmed. There is no need to do so much more. .If you don¡¯t stop"
"Revenge me?" Scarlett smiled. She knew that he couldn't take revenge, not in his career, and his industry status would not be affected by this kind of thing. Moreover, she was Jewish, Amy Rosen was also Jewish, and Natalie Portman Also Jewish, interesting? Hollywood is a Jewish business.
He couldn¡¯t say anything in the media. There were so many witnesses at the party and the matter was settled. They just had it once. What could he say? Whatever you say is a bitch.
Ye Wei grabbed Scarlett's hand and walked to the more secluded bushes nearby, then pushed her against a thick tree.
"Do it here?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows reluctantly. This would become a joke and spread throughout the industry in the afternoon. A kind of revenge indeed.
"I am a descendant of a soldier, but I have always been kind to others. I will reason with people who can reason." Ye Wei said while gently touching her face, "Those who can't be reasonableyou know, will never Don¡¯t bully someone with a history of violence.¡±
He touched her straight and slender nose, stared into her twinkling eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes, it's right here. I can break this beautiful nose with one punch."
"And here." He fiddled with her mouth with his evil-tattooed fingers, "I know how to knock out two front teeth with one punch. And here." He held her chest with his left hand tattooed with nipples, and he smiled: "It's hard to beat here, but who knows what I'll do if I get crazy. Relax, I won't kill anyone."
Ye Wei squeezed her with both hands, exerted his strength, and said coldly: "We can file a lawsuit, I can go to jail, but the question is, can you disfigure her face?"
"" Scarlett swallowed involuntarily, her throat was sliding, and her neck was pinched lightly by him. She smiled, a little reluctantly: "Why do you do this to me?"
"Don't forget, this is the game you started." Ye Wei let go of her, pulled her shoulders and pushed her away, patted her butt and said, "Let's go, don't come back, don't bother me anymore, just Forget it."
Scarlett said nothing more, looked at him deeply, pulled up the wrinkled T-shirt, and turned towards the direction of the town.
Ye Wei shook his head and walked back to the beach set.
¡ù¡ù
After Gia submitted her resignation, she packed her bags and said goodbye to the crew that day.
The external reason was "something happened at home". Ye Wei couldn't keep her no matter how hard he tried to persuade her. Before leaving, Gia said to him: "If you stop being an asshole one day, just give me a call and I will come back and be your assistant. Now I can only wish you good luck."
There is no Gia on the setWith his figure, everything seems to be much quieter.
¡¡
That day, Scarlett Johansson left Kauai immediately.
And the news that she visited the set of "Soul Surfer" spread like wildfire. The gossip media didn't get the photos of her and Ye Wei together, but they did take photos of her on the streets of Hawaii. The two are no longer a scandal, they are in a real dating relationship, and she has the image of being viy's official girlfriend.
An insider told tmz: "Scarlett didn't stay long. She had a secret meeting with him for a while and then left. There was nothing on the set, but Emma was very unhappy."
"Their progress is very rapid, viy is very fascinated by her, he is conquered by her charm." said an insider of radaronline.
However, after a few days, there was no new news about the two of them. However, Ye Wei was photographed playing with Doutzen-Klos on a yacht, and she didn't seem to be at all concerned.
¡¡
Gia Coppola¡¯s exit has been widely reported by the media. Although she is not a star, she is a born celebrity. Her friendship with Ye Wei has been mentioned frequently since "The Wedding Is Coming", and it was still a hot topic at one time. But now, Ye Wei, a good friend, also decided to leave him.
"Viy Group is on the verge of collapse?" "Entertainment Weekly" put a question mark.
The outside world doesn¡¯t know how the filming of ¡°Soul Surfer¡± went. The regularly released work photos and stills are all normal and are still exciting.
But the news about Ye Wei¡¯s fun that pops up from time to time really makes movie fans uneasy. The more gossip news, the less serious work is done. Has viy really made a good movie?
