Hearing Joanna Philip's words, John frowned, and remained silent for a long time, as if thinking about something, until a few minutes later he took a deep breath and said. "Miss Philip, since you've said so, it's not good if I'm holding it. ”

As soon as John's words fell, Joanna Philip breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Philip, don't you think that's good?" said John, in a consultative tone. "Due to the financial pressure of the new line, the publicity and distribution costs of "Forrest Gump" are not paid in advance by the new line, I pay all the publicity and distribution fees in advance, and as for the ones that have been paid in advance, I will also settle them at that time, so that the problem will be solved. John smiled.

But Joanna Philip on the side couldn't laugh, the publicity funds were an excuse for her to persuade John, but she didn't expect that John would rather pay the publicity fee in advance than release "Forrest Gump" in advance.

But now that the words have been said to death, it's too late to change it, as for explaining the truth to John, it's not okay, a stormy new line, how can John believe that it has the ability to release "Forrest Gump", and when the time comes, it may not be possible to terminate the contract with the new line.

Joanna Philip suddenly felt like she was lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot, but at this point, she had to smile reluctantly, and stood up and looked at John. "Director Chris Deng, thank you for your generosity. ”

"It should. John took it for granted.

"Then I won't bother you, and we'll see you in Los Angeles. Joanna Philip said and stretched out her hand to shake John's hand, the matter was not done, she had to rush back to the company as soon as possible to report to the boss.

John didn't leave her either, and after shaking her hand, he personally put her on the boat.

Watching the boat move farther and farther, Sophia, who had been following John without speaking, suddenly sighed. "Alas...... Joanna Philip is so pathetic, I can tell that her steps are heavy. ”

John squinted at her. "I weigh 71 kilograms and walk heavily. ”

Joanna Philip's John naturally knows that the new line is besieged by several giants, resulting in a liquidity gap, and Joanna Philip wants "Forrest Gump" to be released as soon as possible and use the box office to fill the gap.

But John didn't want to help New Line, although New Line helped him release his first film, but it was not free, on the contrary, New Line also took an extra five percent of the distribution fee from him, so he didn't owe New Line any favors. Besides, it's not a day or two that he is thinking about the new line, and now that he has such a good opportunity to get the new line, how could he miss it.

Back in the tent, John immediately called Devon Morgan in Hollywood, asked Devin Morgan to keep an eye on the movement of the new line, and once he found that the new line was not working, he immediately intervened in the acquisition war.

After the new line was arranged, John returned to the theater from the new and checked the work progress of the crew members again, although he intended to delay the filming of "Forrest Gump", but it couldn't be delayed too long, after all, the crew spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and prolonging it would increase the production cost.

After a few days, after all the preparations were completed, the crew once again devoted themselves to filming.

"Forrest Gump" Scene 178, First Shot, First Article, Action ....... ”

As soon as the camera assistant's voice fell, Emmanuel held the camera and followed the actor.

Although handheld shooting is mostly used in documentaries and photojournalism, it is occasionally used in films.

The biggest advantage of this kind of shooting is that it is not limited by space, and it can create a realistic subjective perspective, so that the audience can be more immersed in the plot when watching. To put it more bluntly, the picture has a sense of breathing.

Of course, this method of shooting is very difficult, and the photographer must not only be able to capture the picture keenly, but also must find a balance between movement and stillness, otherwise it will cause visual fatigue to the audience.

John sits behind a monitor with Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, watching the camera come out.

In the picture, Forrest Gump is searching the jungle with a gun and suddenly hears Bubba's voice.

"Forrester ......"

Forrest Gump followed the sound and saw Bubba lying on the ground. Hurriedly ran over, threw the gun in his hand aside, knelt beside Bubba and shouted softly. "Bubba!"

"I'm fine, Forrester!" Bubba looked at Forrest Gump faintly.

Forrest Gump gently removed the leaves covering Buba's body, and saw the wound of Buba's abdomen, and the whole person was stunned. "No...... Bubba...... Don't ......," Forrest Gump looked at the wound and became sad.

"I'm fine...... Forrester. Bubba comforted this Forrest Gump.

“NG......”

John stood up from behind the monitor with a megaphone and walked over to the camera to look at Will Smith. "Will, your role as Bubba is about to die, and at this time you should feel weak, not excited. ”

"Director, I'm not excited!" Will Smith got up from the ground and looked at John blankly.

John pointed to his eyes. "The eyes can't speak, but they can reflect the emotions in the heart, just now although you were lying on the ground with your whole body on the ground, your face looked very weak, but your eyes showed a thief light, which is like a person who is about to die, like a person who has been discharged from the hospital. ”

People who appear for the first time have more or less some problems, some are nervous, some are excited...... These emotions will be revealed through the eyes.

This is why it is often said that a person may lie, but the eyes do not.

"How should I act as a director?" Will Smith asked, rubbing his nose and embarrassed.

John thought for a moment. "I'll find you a teacher!" As he spoke, he beckoned to Nicolas Cage, who was not far away. "Cage, come and do me a favor?"

Nicolas Cage ran up to John and asked. "What's the matter, Director?"

John pointed to Will Smith. "Help me teach Will what it looks like for a dying man. ”

Nicolas Cage glanced at Will Smith and nodded. "Okay, Director. ”

"Thank you. John patted Nicolas Cage on the shoulder, then looked at Will Smith. "Will, follow Cage well, give you half an hour, and we'll start filming in half an hour. ”

"Okay, Director. ”

John looked at Will Smith in front of him and had a headache, the current Will Smith's acting skills are too bad, and he is not the superstar who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

But this is normal, a person has experienced more than ten years of acting skills, and if he has not improved, then he should consider changing careers.
