Chapter 36 "My Grand Greek Wedding", Filming Begins!

Before leaving CAA, Brian Lord also told Don a very "sad" news, "Don, you must pay attention to safety when filming, I just got the news that the crew of "Blade" is not very peaceful!"

"And this?" Donne's face changed, very concerned, "Brian, how's the situation?"

Brian Lord shook his head and sighed, "It's not good, there was an accident on the shooting site, the background wall collapsed, and more than a dozen people were hit." ”

Tang En's face was heavy, and he said bitterly: "It's so serious, and no one died, right?"

You're still trying to kill someone, isn't it?!

Brian Lorde's face changed, he glanced at Don deeply, and sighed, "It's not life-threatening, but they are all hospitalized, and the crew may lose at least three million dollars." ”

Donn frowned, "That's unlucky! Oh, by the way, isn't Blade a CAA package......?

Brian Lord waved his hand, "It's none of us, the backdrop is a location that New Line bought a long time ago, many years ago. ”

"It's a pity, why is the new line so careless?" Tang En kept shaking his head, as if he hated iron and steel, "Filming action scenes is inherently very risky, and safety should come first." ”

Brian Lord nodded, "Yes, I believe that with this accident, New Line Pictures can have a profound lesson, take it as a warning." ”

The corners of Don's eyes moved a few times, and he pouted: "I don't believe it, New Line Pictures is a small company after all, and Marvel has no experience in making movies, I think...... Maybe there's going to be a big mess, what do you say, Brian?"

Brian Lorde's face was almost distorted, and he glanced at him like a torch, "Maybe, maybe not, who knows?"

Don seemed to be very confident, and said firmly, "I think it will! Brian, my judgment has always been accurate, right?"

Brian Lord gritted his silver teeth, his face showing a bit of helplessness, and sighed, "Maybe." ”

Don finally laughed, "Brian, although I am young, I also know the truth that faith is important and interests are light. ”

That's the amount of a promise.

Brian Lord regretted it a little, was it wrong to cooperate with Donne?

It's just that the ship has been turned on, and there is no turning back.

"Of course, I've always thought so. ”

Brian Lord barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Nicole Kidman and Pat Kingsley looked at each other, both a little puzzled, feeling that the conversation between the two people was strange and had an indescribable taste.

Especially Done Walker, what does New Line Pictures' movies have to do with you?

Hollywood, isn't it popular to be compassionate and compassionate?

……

"My Grand Greek Wedding" has officially started filming.

Don's version, after two months of repeated revisions, has changed a lot from the original, there are more laughs, and the plot is also richer, especially the process of acquaintance, acquaintance, and love between the male and female protagonists, which is no longer the "inexplicable" love of the original version, but after a lot of ups and downs, after a series of stories full of jokes, I finally tasted the tears of happiness.

What's more, the director has changed.

Although Gary Marshall's directing skills are not strong, with a comprehensive score of only 79, he is by no means an award-winning director, but his comedy is often a guarantee of the box office.

In contrast, the director of the original book ...... It's basically the same level as the graduates of the directing department of the film school, and it's rotten to the extreme!

In particular, various lens languages, picture levels, layout design, framing angles...... The original version can achieve such impressive box office results, and it really has nothing to do with the director, and it all depends on the story of the script as a big selling point.

Now, with better directors, better actors, more investment, and a stronger push behind him, Donn believes that his version of "My Grand Greek Wedding" is better than the original is a matter of course.

At this moment, Don appeared in Nicole Kidman's dressing room, staring at the Australian goddess who had lost her fairy spirit from the mirror.

Her face was slightly sallow, her delicate skin was much older, her hair was dyed black, curled high, coiled on top of her head, how strange and weird it was.

And her bloated costume also hides her delicate figure, and she looks no different from the aunt in the supermarket.

"It's still not ugly enough! ”

Don stood behind Nicole and offered his own proposal.

Nicole Kidman is really angry, she has been acting in movies for ten years, and she has always shown her most beautiful side in front of the audience, what is Don going to do?

"Are you going to destroy me?"

Nicole Kidman's voice was cold, and because of her work ethic, she didn't quarrel with Donne, and she had been swallowing her anger for a long time.

Tang En didn't care, and said lightly: "Nicole, believe me, this will be the most significant breakthrough in your acting career......! And not that big liar from Kubrick!"

Is Kubrick a big liar?

The makeup artists couldn't help but tremble, looking at the whole of Hollywood, it was only an arrogant rising star like Donn Walker who dared to be so disrespectful to that famous senior, right?

Nicole Kidman was even more angry.

In the movie "Eyes Wide Open", she took out the largest scale, and many shots showed her body without concealment, isn't it just to be able to reverse the decline of her past career?

But now Donn, the crow's mouth, dares to sarcastically mock Master Kubrick!

"Don, you've gone too far!"

In the face of Nicole's accusation, Don was unashamed and sighed, "Nicole, believe me, that movie will definitely disappoint you, and the only one who can bring you hope is me!"

"Humph!"

Between Kubrick and Don Walker, Nicole Kidman would undoubtedly trust the former.

Tang En shook his head and said, "Nicole, your beauty amazes and fascinates me, but it is precisely because of your beauty that you act like a vase, do you understand what I mean?"

A few makeup artists listened to it, and their hearts were beating again.

It's okay if you praise Nicole for her beauty, but what does it mean to be "intoxicated"? Is it really good to show love like this? Nicole ...... She's Mrs. Cruise.

Prior to this, Hollywood has always dressed up actors in the United States, especially the female number one who resists the box office, who has ever heard of the theory of playing ugly?

Donn's words, naturally, did not get Nicole Kidman's trust, and he was a little indifferent, "I just hope to finish the movie smoothly." ”

The meaning is obvious, she only respects her profession, but she does not respect Donn as a director.

"You're going to believe me. ”

Don shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.

……

The first scene takes place in the home of the heroine "Tula".

Nicole stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at her face that had lost its youthful color, with melancholy, bitterness, helplessness, and bitterness, "Tula, you are thirty years old." Then he clenched his fists hard, "Come on, you will definitely be able to get married!"

This is a shot that was not in the original version, and Donn's screenwriting team has adapted it to create a new scene.

Through these few seconds of footage, the background and character of "Tula" are clearly explained, and it also lays the groundwork for the comedy effect in the future, which is not exquisite.

"Stop!" Don shouted as he sat behind the framing screen, frowning, "Nicole, you have to understand that Tula's personality is contradictory. She is in her thirties, no one likes and no one loves, waiting to marry a Greek, she is inferior. At the same time, she also has a positive, optimistic and cheerful attitude towards life. What I needed was a complex performance, not a flat story. ”

was questioned about her acting skills in the first scene, and Nicole Kidman was a little annoyed and wondered if Don was targeting herself.

However, the second time she repeated, Don interrupted her again, "Nicole, there's something wrong with your performance. Your sad side is very good, but your cheerful side is not. Don't always imagine that you are an ugly girl, you should often ignore it, and then show the playful and coquettish side of a beautiful girl. ”

"Don't you think that's disgusting?" said Nicole Kidman, frowning.

Isn't it disgusting to let an ugly girl dressed up like this be coquettish and cute?

Don said with a smile: "You can think of this, it means that you have some understanding of the characters, but this is not enough! We shoot comedy, creating contrast, is the biggest comedy baggage, understand?"

Nicole Kidman took a deep breath, "I'll try my best." ”

"Okay, the first scene, the third shot, start!"

Nicole Kidman stood in front of the mirror, her face full of sorrow and helplessness, and sighed bitterly: "Tula, you are thirty years old, ahhhhh

She shook her curly hair like crazy, stuffed her hands into her hair and scratched wildly, suddenly stopped, her face changed, her chin was slightly raised, and she showed a sweet smile to herself in the mirror, then took a deep breath, shook her hands confidently in front of her towering chest, gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, you will definitely be able to get married!"

“CUT!”

Donn stood up with a smile, "Good, Nicole, you're doing well." ”

Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief and asked her assistant for a glass of water.

"But I'm sure you can play better!"

"Huh?"

Nicole Kidman was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Donn in surprise, feeling that she was being sucked!
