According to the post-mortem statistics of a third-party organization, the highest ratings period of the 85th Oscars began with the award of the best director. With-Dream- . lā

When Peng Yichen took the stage and won the Best Director Award, a whopping 49.1 million people watched it in North America and 110 million people around the world.

It's just that when Li An won the best picture later, the ratings dropped directly by a few percentage points.

Of course, when selecting the best star in the acceptance speech delivered at this year's Oscars, all the media and fans voted for Peng Yichen.

When Peng Yichen won the best original screenplay, he cared about the testimonials of marginalized groups in society, which touched countless people.

And when he won the Best Director Little Golden Man later, he returned to his humorous and funny nature, which made everyone very happy to watch.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Peng Yichen received the highest number of votes and the best ranking in all the media's selection activities for acceptance speeches.

After the Oscars, everyone on the whole world is celebrating Peng Yichen's award, everyone is paying attention to Peng Yichen, and everyone is talking about Peng Yichen.

……

No one may believe it, but on the afternoon of the second day after the Oscars ended, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing rushed to the small town of Nehant on the outskirts of Boston to shoot "Three Billboards".

To be honest, the end of the Oscars made Peng Yichen and Yu Jing breathe a sigh of relief, the lively awards season has finally passed, and they can devote themselves more to the filming of "Three Billboards".

“Ation！”

Under the blue sky, on the main road out of the city outside the once lively town of Nahante, no vehicles passed at this time.

There were large patches of weeds on both sides of the road, as if no one had walked through it for many years.

In the weeds, a huge billboard was erected at intervals, and each billboard was written in yellow on a red background, with a line of large characters written clearly.

Yu Jing drove the car at this time and passed by here. Her face was now unrecognizable, completely painted like an old woman in her 40s, with thin and dry collarbones, and those chapped hands, like a lone wolf on the prairie, looking extremely gloomy, but extremely dangerous.

For this movie, she subverted her image, lost 20 pounds of weight in a month, weaned Mengmeng in advance, and stayed up all night long, just to simulate the despair and exhaustion of the character.

This is Yu Jing that Peng Yichen has never seen, a Yu Jing who really sacrifices himself to the character.

Even many times, Peng Yichen would suddenly recognize Yu Jing as the woman who really lost her daughter and fought against the whole town.

At this time, Peng Yichen held the director's loudspeaker, staring at Yu Jing's performance without blinking.

Zhao Liansheng stood on the back of a truck in front of Yu Jing's pickup truck, operating the camera to shoot at Yu Jing.

At this time, there were also lighting engineers, recording engineers and others lighting Yu Jing's pickup truck according to a fixed point......

A little further away, there are several large RVs of the crew, hundreds of staff members who are constantly moving, and this is the set of "Three Billboards" in the small town of Nahante.

At this time, it was only the fifth day after the end of the Oscars, and Peng Yichen and Yu Jing had completed the filming of one-tenth of the shots of "Three Billboards".

Yu Jing's state was surprisingly good, which made Peng Yichen feel terrifying.

In order to prevent Yu Jing from getting too deep into the play, he came up with various methods, and even brought Mengmeng to the filming site, just so that Yu Jing could spend more time with his daughter and relieve her mental pressure after filming.

Just yesterday afternoon, during the filming of the scene where the heroine rescues the burned billboard, Yu Jing's performance shocked everyone in the crew.

Her cries and roars make people feel like the mother of the dead daughter in the script has come to life.

At that time, Yu Jing was like a lioness who had lost her cubs, so dangerous and terrifying.

The kind of desperation in persistence and persistence in despair was played to the bone by this actress, who has always been called a vase.

Regardless of whether there is this reason or not, Yu Jing's performance has made the progress of "Three Billboards" move forward rapidly.

Recently, "Three Billboards" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" have started filming one after another, and the whole world has been frightened.

Of course, for many people, there are also many people who see Peng Yichen holding on to him like this and hoping that he will mess up the two movies.

For a while, major media in North America have been staring at the two studios involving Peng Yichen to see if they can get any big news.

After a shot was taken, Yu Jing walked out of the set with a gloomy face, and it was not until she came to Mengmeng's side that she slowly smiled.

It can be seen that Mengmeng is very excited under the care of the staff around her, and she is not afraid of the environment on the set at all, as if she was born to eat this bowl of rice.

This saw Yu Jing both worried and happy.

"Sister Yu, have you been working too hard lately. It's not good for your body. Yu Jing's little assistant brought her a glass of water and couldn't help but persuade.

Yu Jing looked at Peng Yichen, who was busy preparing to shoot the next shot, and thought that he was about to go to the crew of "Batman" to shoot the really dangerous role, and shook his head: "I'm nothing, an actor can't endure this hardship, so there is no need to be successful!"

She said this to her assistant as well as to herself.

"Ready!"

Over there, Peng Yichen shouted again, and the shooting team immediately became highly nervous, and he immediately said, "Let's start shooting the next shot." ”

The next shot is a scene where Yu Jing meets Xiaolu under the billboard and talks to Xiaolu.

This is the whole movie, which can best reveal the softness and fragility of the heroine's heart.

This tough woman in the whole film, in this shot, shows for the first time her regret for her daughter's death, as well as her grief over the death of Sheriff Peng Yichen.

The whole set was filled with an atmosphere of racing against time, they really couldn't afford to delay the time, as soon as the townspeople had to pass through this road, they blocked the venue for a time limit;

Second, Peng Yichen will go to the crew of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in a few days to play the role of the Joker. The scheduled release time of this movie is August 2, and there are only more than 5 months left, and Peng Yichen has to take care of both movies at the same time.

If it was in the golden age of Xiangjiang, it was nothing for actors and directors to rush to the scene, and almost everyone was doing it.

But in Hollywood, with the division of labor becoming more and more perfect, the film production process has become more and more complex, and it is difficult to see actors or directors rushing to shoot films.

Peng Yichen's approach really made many people sweat for him.

But Yu Jing's good state did relieve Peng Yichen of a lot of pressure.

In this scene of dialogue with Xiaolu, Yu Jing's eyes were full of tears, which vividly interpreted the fragility of a strong woman and the despair of a mother who lost her daughter.

All the female staff at the scene cried when they saw it.

“UT!”

Over and over again, there's no need to do it all over again.

This is the last scene of today, Peng Yichen walked to Yu Jing's side and hugged this woman tightly, she was silently supporting Peng Yichen's choice with her own actions.

Even though she was reluctant to let Peng Yichen perform a clown from the beginning, when death came, she was still supporting Peng Yichen with her actions.

She chose to sacrifice her entire soul to the heroine of "Three Billboards", breaking through the limitations of her acting skills in this way and playing this role to the core.

To put it bluntly, Yu Jing directly gave psychological hints to herself, and imposed the heroine's experience directly on herself.

Fortunately, Peng Yichen had already had experience in solving her approach, so he simply brought Meng Meng with him, and after each performance, he used Meng Meng to make Yu Jing recognize the difference between reality and movies.

Don't let her get too deep into the plot of the movie.

Peng Yichen is a little glad that he chose this movie, although the tone of the whole movie is tragic, but the film is not dark.

Instead, each of these characters is in the dark and never gives up on the pursuit of light.

This also made Yu Jing's mental condition much better, and she did not slide into the abyss of unknowability.

In the afternoon of the next day, the crew was busy with the last shot of the day, and tomorrow Peng Yichen will go to the crew of "Batman" for 15 days of filming.

So, today is the last shot of "Three Billboards" in the near future.

Photographer Zhao Liansheng led the team to set up the camera position, and the assistant director was demonstrating the position of the extras for passers-by......

In the performance area, Peng Yichen and Dixon's actor in the film, Woody Harrelson, a veteran Hollywood actor who grew up in China, has always been an actor Peng Yichen likes very much.

In the previous life of "Three Billboards", the small town sheriff played by Woody Harrelson performed very well.

But in fact, Peng Yichen felt that it was more suitable for him to play the policeman Dixon with homosexual tendencies.

After all, Woody Harrelson has a lot of experience playing homosexuality in movies.

At this time, the two are discussing Dixon and the sheriff walking together from the police station to the advertising agency to find the troublesome street walking footage of the advertising agency owner.

It's a very ordinary scene, but the two still approach the scene with great devotion and seriousness.

Because they are the kind of people who think that every scene of an actor is very important.

Soon, the set was ready.

The assistant director shouted, "Ation!"

Peng Yichen and Woody Harrelson took to the streets one after the other, vividly portraying the appearance of the two small-town policemen.

Soon, the assistant director shouted "UT!"

Peng Yichen walked to the viewfinder and carefully played back the shot just now.

It's perfect, there are no extras scurrying around, no irrelevant items messing into the camera, and there are no problems with Peng Yichen's own and Woody Harrelson's performances.

This is a rare "perfect shot", that is, a shot that is completely in line with the director's vision.

Peng Yichen smiled and gave a thumbs up to everyone at the scene.

He shouted, "You can all take a vacation!"

"Hooray!" After half a month of high-intensity shooting, the staff finally ushered in their vacation, but Peng Yichen still had a hard fight waiting for him.

But no matter what, today is the perfect day, and it ends with a perfect shot, and that's enough!
