Chapter 227: You're Still Lieutenant Dan Taylor

"The first shot of the four hundred and twenty-third game, the first action..."

With the laying of the field marker, the filming of the movie officially began.

In the ward, Lieutenant Dan Taylor tore the sleeping Forrest Gump off the hospital bed, grabbed Forrest Gump's collar and lay on Forrest Gump, and said angrily. "Now listen to me, we all have our own fate, nothing is accidental, it always has a reason, I should die there with my soldiers, but now I'm just a crippled, legless monster, look...... Look at me, do you see it, do you know what it's like to have no legs?" Lieutenant Dan Taylor excitedly grabbed Forrest Gump's collar and made Forrest Gump look up at his sawed off legs.

"Yes, sir, I know ....... Forrest Gump is still that natural.

When Lieutenant Dan Taylor saw Forrest Gump's appearance, he angrily pressed his head to the ground again, and said angrily. "Did you hear what I said? You hurt me, I have my own destiny, I should have died on the battlefield, with honor, that is my destiny, and you have made it impossible for me to get it. ”

After saying that, Lieutenant Dan Taylor lay on Forrest Gump and sobbed lowly, muttering in despair. "Do you understand what I'm saying? Forrest Gump, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...... , I have my own destiny, I used to be a lieutenant, Lieutenant Dan Taylor. ”

"You're still Lieutenant Dan Taylor. Forrest Gump looked at Lieutenant Dan Taylor.

Lieutenant Dan Taylor heard Forrest Gump's words, raised his head and glanced at Forrest Gump, then got up with difficulty, leaned against the bed, and said in despair. "Look at me, what else can I do now, what else can I do....... ”

“cut……”

"This is over ......"

John stood up from behind the monitor and announced loudly with a megaphone. Nicolas Cage's acting skills today are very online, and such a difficult shot can be passed in one go, which is rare for him. Of course, he rehearsed twice before the official shooting, and walked through the camera station once, so the shooting will go so smoothly.

After hearing John's shout, the crew members did not cheer loudly, nor hugged each other to celebrate, only a simple routine clapping to express their joy, and then they were responsible for packing up the equipment and props, and then put into the preparation for the next shooting.

Filming is like that, unlike what most people imagine to be exciting and fun, the real shot is a boring, repetitive job, moving from scene to scene, from one prep to another, from one shot to another.

But these seemingly boring and repetitive tasks, once they come together, can produce a qualitative change, bringing people laughter, tears, touching, or a piece of thought, and making people gain something from it, which is why filmmaking can be attractive, because it can always turn a single shot into a story in the end, turning decay into magic.

The next shots are Tom Hanks' home stadium, Nicolas Cage's scene has come to an end for the time being, and Warner's space is limited, so it is impossible to build a lot of interior scenes, so you can only finish shooting one interior scene after another, and then build another interior from scratch to continue shooting.

This is also the most expensive and time-consuming place to shoot a movie, many sets often take weeks, cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to build, but often only a few shots are taken before being dismantled.

Of course, this is only for ordinary films, but if you encounter a big-budget film and at the same time encounter a paranoid director who strives for perfection in the camera, then this number may have to be multiplied dozens of times.

Isn't that the big ship in the previous life like this, just making the Titanic hull Cameron spent 7.5 million US dollars at the time, if it weren't for the money he made in his previous movies, the president of Twentieth Century Fox wanted to send him blades, but fortunately, in the end, "Titanic" was a big hit, and it also made this paranoid truck driver the king of the world.

And John is nothing compared to him, and the most expensive exterior in "Forrest Gump" is the two-story wooden house where Forrest Gump and his mother live, but it only cost more than 100,000 US dollars, which is nothing compared to the 7.5 million US dollars of "Titanic".

After the filming of Nicolas Cage and Tom Hanks' rivalry scene, the following shots were relatively simple, many of them were Tom Hanks' solo show, that is, the scene where Forrest Gump was learning table tennis in the hospital.

In the movie, Forrest Gump played the table tennis ball amazingly, it was simply possessed by LGL, but in the real shooting, there was not even a table tennis ball, but Tom Hanks held a racket and waved it in the air, of course, for the sake of realism, the crew temporarily invited a table tennis coach to the theater to teach him how to swing the racket.

However, no matter how the coach taught, the picture of Tom Hanks pretending to play table tennis in the air is still very funny, but these seemingly very nervous pictures will immediately become eye-catching as long as they are processed by Industrial Light and Magic, John still remembers the first time he watched "Forrest Gump", he was amazed by the part of Forrest Gump playing table tennis in it. At that time, he was very puzzled about how a person could be so good at playing table tennis, and it was not until he became a director and knew that there was a technology called special effects in this world that his doubts were completely solved.

The subsequent filming went well, after John finished shooting these shots, the time slowly came to December, and seeing that it was about Christmas, John simply gave the crew a holiday, anyway, he was not in a hurry, and now it was the New Line Film Company that was in a hurry, and it was not him, so he asked everyone to go home for Christmas and continue to work on it.

However, before going home for Christmas, everyone still has to finish the finishing work, all the footage on the Warner studio has been filmed, and the set here has completed its mission, so they must remove all the sets before returning the set to Warner Studios, otherwise Warner Studios will deduct the cleaning fee when they take over the set.

Of course, this demolition was very simple, and it took less than a day to completely dismantle the interior that the set designer took a week to build, which also confirms the saying that it is always easier to destroy than to build.

After finishing the finishing work, John put the filmed film in the bank vault, after the Savannah fire incident, he was extra careful about the film, although he had already greeted Charles, but this kind of thing he felt that it was better not to pin his hope on others to obey the rules, the mall is like a battlefield, since it is a battlefield, there will always be a time to kill the red eye, and at that time, everyone only lives and dies, there are no rules.
