696 Joyful Crew
In the previous life, Lan Li's life ended at the age of thirty-two. But in fact, he never had a real childhood, he was included in the planning since he was three years old, he never really wantoned, he never really got into trouble, strictly speaking, he never even really had a friend to play with.
In this life, Lan Li is about to turn twenty-two years old. But in fact, aristocratic life did not leave him much space, etiquette education, social education, and art education filled all his time, and the few time that belonged to him, he was like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge for the dream of an actor.
Two lives, fifty-four years. After the vicissitudes of life, bumps and bumps, this has achieved the temperament precipitated by Lanli, which is a gift given by the years, but in the heart of Lanli, he always misses the youth years of wanton indulgence. That's why Lan Li is so keen on other adventures, and that's why Lan Li enjoys life so wantonly. It's just the boyish side, and the only difference is that the group of friends made in Hollywood haven't noticed it for the time being.
What the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" shows today is not a ghost. However, although the crew members are frightened, when they think about it, it is logical: Lan Li is twenty-one years old, Jennifer is twenty years old, and these two actors have made a name for themselves because of their mature and intelligent performances in movies, which often make people ignore their own ages.
Even if Lan Li and Jennifer didn't do anything, but they only needed to stand by calmly like this, people couldn't help but think of the troubles that might occur later, or awaken the memories of the previous spoofs, a look, an expression, and an action were enough to make laughter break out again.
Lan Li and Jennifer enjoyed it, but for others who had shooting tasks at this time, it was a complete torture. Originally, the filming of this scene was a little difficult, but now I laugh from time to time, and mistakes are made at every turn, and sometimes the sound of "shooting" has not had time to sound, everyone has already laughed, and the entire studio has been scorched.
In a trance, people have forgotten that this is the first day of the official launch of "Edge of Tomorrow", as if they have been together for several months, and the tacit understanding between the eyebrows and eyes has led to the smooth performance - but it is useless, at least to be able to carry on the performance and say the lines, and those tacit understandings can be useful.
A scene was filmed for more than five hours, and the number of NG times caused by laughter alone was as many as 16 times, and there were even more times when I laughed crookedly before the official start of filming. Not only that, but the director also needed to switch shots, angles, and subjects, and shoot from morning to afternoon, until Paul Greengrass confirmed that the scene met the requirements, and there was not much time left before the end of the first day.
Paul simply announced that the first day of filming would end early and resume the next day.
After disbanding on the spot, Alexander was the first to fire at Lan Li, "Count you as powerful! Don't you worry, in the next performance, will we retaliate with a tooth for a tooth?"
Lan Li shrugged calmly, "You didn't seem to be worried about the consequences when you put on heavy makeup for me. So, you can go ahead and see what the outcome is. That serious way of speaking made people shudder, and inexplicably began to shiver.
Everyone else was dumbfounded, but Donald didn't believe in evil, "Then let's try it!" In the crew of the "Scrapwood Alliance", the level of pranks has risen to a whole new level, so he won't be afraid of Lan Li. He would never admit that this sanctimonious black-bellied style does make people feel a little hairy.
"Welcome. Lan Li was still unhurried and unhurried, and people couldn't associate him with the image of the spoof dance just now. Lan Li didn't worry about their revenge at all, the prank script was "there will never be retribution", he turned his head to look at Jennifer who was standing beside him and watching the show, "I think, the most worrying thing should be you, right?"
Jennifer's eyes widened and she pointed at herself, "I? no, I was a comrade-in-arms with you just now." ”
"Cut, you were comrades with us before. Donald didn't shy away from revealing the truth, "It seems that the most important thing we need to pay attention to is you, cunning girl!"
Jennifer opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and expressed her surprise with body movements, "Lan Li, this is your plan, isn't it? Deliberately shift the focus? Deliberately put the fault on me, an innocent person......" Originally, she should have appealed righteously, but as she spoke, Jennifer couldn't help laughing, and immediately broke the credit.
Lan Li didn't speak, nor did she move, just looked at Jennifer with a smile, "Innocent people never say that they are innocent, but the culprit shouts the loudest." ”
"Poof", Kaya, who was standing at the end, burst into laughter without warning, and in an instant everyone turned around, and then saw Kaya covering her mouth, and Will who was at a loss, Kaya giggled and said intermittently, "Will said...... Will said...... Lan Li looks like Hannibal...... Hannibal became a 'monster in disguise'...... Hahahaha......"
Everyone began to make up for it: Professor Hannibal, the cannibal demon in "The Silence of the Lambs", and Stanley in "Shapeshifter". The picture came to my face, and before I could react to what was going on, I couldn't help but burst out with laughter.
Will retracted his gaze in embarrassment, scratched his head, and tried to explain, but couldn't speak, and finally shrugged his shoulders and laughed silly.
"Professor Stanley?" Jennifer's brain spun quickly, and she immediately combined the two characters, and then looked Lan Li up and down, only to see Lan Li suddenly open her mouth wide, showing her neat teeth, making Jim Carrey's classic smile expression in "Strange Men in Disguise", as if showing how many teeth she has.
This sudden, unforeseen expression coincided with the joke they were discussing, Jennifer only felt that she had received a 100,000-point critical hit, and her footsteps took two steps back, hitting the staff, but the laughter exploded like a cannonball, and she burst into laughter without any image to speak of, "Haha." ”
Not only Jennifer, but the others only had time to capture one of Lan Li's expressions, and then Lan Li returned to his usual calm and switched to Professor Hannibal mode. That elegant, calm, and personable posture was as if the disguised monster just now had never appeared at all. The sheer contrast between black and white, heaven and earth, managed to make everyone laugh out loud – literally, everyone.
The crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" kicked off in such an atmosphere. The entire crew was filled with an unprecedented atmosphere, and even Paul Greengrass, who has always regarded himself as a serious journalist, seemed to have regained his childlike innocence.
In fact, Paul Greengrass was the happiest in the crew, and he enjoyed chatting with Lan Li very much, and it could even be said that he was enthusiastic. Even when Lan Li and Paul Walker, Jennifer, Alexander and others get together and sit in the courtyard drinking beer and talking after the evening shoot, the director will come over and join in the fun - he used to think that this was the occasion for young people, he was too old to be suitable, but later, he would take the initiative to ask, "Are you drinking tonight?"
The reason is simple. The director found a soul similar to himself in Lan Li: deep in his bones, Lan Li is also a journalist, even if he was never able to really leave the campus and become a journalist in his previous life; at the same time, in the depths of his soul, Lan Li is also a movie fanatic, a movie fan, and an actor.
All of this makes the conversation between Lan Li and Paul Greengrass fun.
The entire crew was "trapped" in this filming base, and everyone got along with each other day and night. Lan Li made a lot of interesting comments that opened up the situation for Paul's directorial perspective, and during the filming, they also tried different filming methods and acting methods, and the other actors were actively involved.
It is worth mentioning that Donald's comedic talent is on display, and he is the best at creating awkward humor in the style of cold jokes, which injects a distinctive style into the J-Team's performances. Will, Jennifer and Tony also provided a lot of ideas, which made every day a lot of fun.
As a director, Paul also acquiesced in such attempts, like an old urchin, to make more attempts in the work "Edge of Tomorrow". Although I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, and what kind of work will be presented in the end, but in the process of filming, in the process of creation, it is indeed a lot of fun.
"Isn't that just a small premiere?" asked Donald, curiously, "that you're flying back? and inviting so many friends, that sounds grand." At least for me. ”
"Your subtext is, why didn't you receive an invitation?" Lan Li's bluntness made Jennifer, Alexander and the others next to him directly start to launch taunting skills without giving face, and Donald was suddenly a little overwhelmed, "Of course you are in the ranks of invitations." However, I needed to ask the director and producer for approval, otherwise the whole crew would have to shut down if we left the base and went back to New York. Not sure if that's a good idea. ”
"Fighting Cancer" will have a small premiere on Thursday this week, and after the premiere ends, the official screening will begin at 12 o'clock at midnight. For this reason, Lan Li needs to make a special flight back to New York, and at the same time, he also wants his crew friends to send out an invitation, just like last year's "Fast and Exciting / Love 5".
