In the script written by Damien Chazelle, a top music school called Shelfer College is fictionalized, but it is actually the real-life Juilliard School, which is currently one of the top professional music theaters in North America and even the world.

In order to be able to truly represent the style of the Shelver School, Damien tried to communicate with the Juilliard School, hoping that the crew could complete the on-site shooting work in the school.

Surprisingly, but quite reasonably, the Juilliard School learned that it was an independent work starring Rite-Hall, and generously gave the green light to allow the crew to be stationed in the school's academic building to complete all the filming. At this time, it was summer vacation, and although some students stayed in the academy to study, most of them were still on vacation, which also provided convenient conditions for the crew to shoot.

But also because it was summer vacation, filming at Lincoln Center became impossible. Summer is the most intensive, lively and busiest season for performances, and all the venues are already full for more than half a year or more, and even if Andre Hamilton comes out in person, he can't book a venue.

Luckily, the Juilliard Student Council actively completed the arrangement.

The Alice Tully Room at Lincoln Center, the central venue for the Chamber Music Society and the New York Film Festival, is located inside the Juilliard School and serves as a year-round venue for student performances, with the possibility of adjusting a small number of performances and changing rehearsals at short notice.

After a series of rescheduling, the "Burst Drummer" crew was given three days of filming — not including the evenings. This is already very, very rare for the crew, and all the problems are solved.

For Damien, this is unimaginable. Relying on a name alone, like a business card, can solve most problems without hindrance, and it doesn't even take too much time and effort, and the cost of money has been reduced to an acceptable range.

What's more, he was originally worried that Juilliard would refuse, because the story in "The Crackling Drummer" distorts the image of jazz and teachers into a dark appearance, and Peter Erskine, the drummer who is about to dub behind the scenes of Lan Li, has a lot of criticism about Damien's script, not to mention that the Shelfer School is an allusion to the real Juilliard?

But, they didn't. Not only not, but also with open doors.

It's no wonder that big-name actors are still so sought-after in the independent film scene, even if their target market isn't box office at all. The integration of resources, the expansion of contacts, and the authority of fame are all added value that cannot be measured by money. Even art must live on its behalf.

Rooney, Paul, and Ryan walk into the Juilliard School's postmodernist and Victorian architecture, where traces of a century of time are almost impossible to find, full of modern and contemporary simplicity, and the corners can capture the texture of the city of New York.

But the wonderful thing is that the bustle and noise of Manhattan seem to be completely isolated, as if only one door is needed to enter and exit to enter a completely different world, and the air flows with an indescribable classical charm, elegant and profound, quiet and far-reaching, which cannot be accurately described, but makes people feel comfortable.

Maybe it's the trumpet key chain hanging from the student lockers, maybe it's the empty rehearsal room full of instruments, maybe it's the sound of a violin coming from the corner upstairs, maybe it's the bulletin board about the band's rehearsals and performances...... The details in all aspects, corners and corners, as if you can really feel the music notes flowing slowly under your feet.

As I walked, I couldn't help but hold my breath and try my best to calm down, lest my noise and movement destroy this unique silence.

The inside of the shed and the reality are still different after all.

The scene built in the studio, no matter how real it is, even if it is copied from the mold in a one-to-one ratio, it still cannot replace reality after all, just like it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger and the bones, the breath of life and the historical precipitation cannot be imitated, and the film effect presented will naturally be deviated.

Some directors always insist on shooting on location, and that's the reason.

Despite the lack of guidance, after groping for a while, the three of them managed to find the location of the crew. Because the whole crew was moving, moving from one large rehearsal room to another separate practice room. Even a sparrow-sized crew still has nearly 30 staff members, and the vast mobile team is really hard to ignore.

"Hey, Rooney!"

Damien saw the three people coming at a glance, and took the initiative to say hello, his shy smile was a little restrained, but he was still cheerful and friendly enough, and then his eyes fell on the two people next to him, and he introduced himself cordially, "Good afternoon, I'm Damien." ”

"Ryan. ”

"Paul. ”

Damien pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a look of pleasure, "I know, of course I do. I've seen your work, I mean, both of you. ”

"Thank you. Ryan bowed his head lightly and said coldly, "If there is a chance in the future, I hope to cooperate." Although I haven't watched your work for the time being, I believe that Lan Li's choice can never be wrong, and since he has already worked with you, it means that I have already obtained the pass. ”

Ryan had missed the conversation between Rooney and Paul just now, so he didn't understand the situation, and he seemed much more relaxed at this point.

Rooney was still a little worried after all, and asked vaguely, "Is everything going well with the shooting?"

Damien didn't think much of it, and nodded with a smile, "It's going well, everything is going very well." Lan Li's performance is really good, I thought that 'buried alive' and 'detachment' were shocking enough, but I only knew what a real performance was when I watched it live. As he spoke, Damien rubbed his hands excitedly.

"We just shot a big scene, and the chemistry was so wonderful that it turned the acting and the shooting into an ordeal, I mean, the right way, to bring out the essence of the whole scene, which was painful, but after the ordeal it was joy and exhilaration. Lan Li is really a rare actor, isn't he?"

Damien's excitement and excitement are clearly presented through words, and people can't help but look forward to that scene, such as Ryan, but at the same time, it can also be felt that Damien did not notice anything abnormal at all, as if everything was normal, which reminded Rooney of Lan Li's state just now, and the sense of unease surged again.

Paul sensed Rooney's absent-mindedness and uneasiness, and as they walked forward, he voluntarily dropped his steps and came to Rooney's side, whispering comfortingly, "Don't worry, Lan Li knows what he's doing." ”

Rooney raised her head to meet Paul's gaze, showing a light smile, and then nodded gently in agreement, "Then let's go over and see what Lan Li is up to." Damien's description is really exciting, and I'm already starting to envy the audience who will see this work in cinemas in the future. ”

The little joke made Paul chuckle too.

The group soon came to a separate practice room, but everyone was bustling and blocked out of the door, because the space of the practice room was too narrow.

The whole room is about six meters long and four meters wide, and the complete area is less than twenty-four square meters, but at this time, a Simmons mattress, a set of drums, two cameras, two lights, etc., as well as three staff members and a blue ceremony, the limited space is full, and even the place to stay is no longer found.

At this time, the staff is in full swing to adjust the position of the camera and the angle of the light.

Lan Li is lying on top of Simmons, his upper body lying flat on the mattress, and his lower body resting on the wall, showing an inverted backward lying flat;

The next scene filmed is coherent with the scene just now in terms of storyline.

After suffering the devastating blow and insult from Fletcher, Andrew learned that he was definitely not the type to give up easily, let alone surrender, so he decided to break and stand up.

He simply moved his dorm to the practice room – mattresses, toiletries, sheet music, albums, and that's it, and he wasn't going to leave until he had actually practiced the "whipping" track.

This ruthlessness broke out for the first time, which completed an important foreshadowing for the beginning and end of the follow-up story, and at the same time, this ruthlessness is similar to Lan Li, who put himself in a coffin and trapped himself in a light box.

Now Lan Li is listening to Buddy Ricky. Not for the sake of the plot, but for the preparation of the performance, he needs to truly capture the rhythm and inspiration of Buddy Ricky's "whipping" performance, and only by truly understanding the difficulty of the repertoire can he truly present the pain and struggle in the performance process.

Seeing this, Ryan was about to go in to say hello, but unexpectedly, Paul and Rooney both stopped him, which startled Ryan fiercely.

For Ryan, who had never worked with Lan Li, he couldn't understand the current situation at all, and Paul explained, "Before going into the actual shooting, Lan Li needed a little time to figure out his role. Paul then talks about what he saw during the filming of "Fast & Thrill 5" and "Detachment".

Involuntarily, Ryan remembered the New York Times comment: Is he a genius in the spotlight or a madman behind the scenes?
