On the one hand, in order to complete the filming progress within a week, he hardly had any time to rest, worked for 5 days in a row, and could only sleep 3 or 4 hours a day;

On the other hand, Liam, who he is optimistic about, has not made much progress in acting, although it seems that there has been some progress now, but the next movie he plans to shoot has higher requirements for acting, and he doesn't know if Liam will be able to withstand it.

Therefore, in such a situation, any low-level mistake is something that Peng Yichen cannot tolerate.

Peng Yichen's attitude on the set has never been Cameron's "tyrant" state.

But once he got angry, he silenced everyone.

Peng Yichen's gaze, like a searchlight, scanned the audience, and finally looked at the bar, ready to appear as the actor who played the chef of the restaurant.

He didn't say a word, and the extra, who was 185 tall, was already trembling with fright.

Everyone present knew that this director, who had been very gentle before, was finally going to show them what it means to be a top director.

"Did I say it, or did you have a problem with your ears? I told you that the chef standing at the edge of the camera must be clean and tidy and not have any beard! Why now, this chef has a TM beard on his face!" Peng Yichen pointed to the actor who played the chef and shouted.

Peng Yichen stared at it with his eyes, responsible for managing the field affairs of the group performance and the actor - Andri, he knew that it was impossible and did not dare to change the costume and dress he asked for casually.

Andriy immediately explained: "Director Peng, I'm ...... I definitely don't make my own decisions, the makeup and costumes of the actors are all in charge of Loris from the makeup team. ”

"Call Loris to me right away. Peng Yichen's cold gaze almost froze Andri into a popsicle.

Andriy immediately turned around and ran to the make-up RV and called Loris over.

Luo Lisi stood in front of Peng Yichen and saw the anger in the other party's eyes, the top makeup artist of Summit Entertainment, was a little panicked, but she was confident in her professionalism, and she still let her speak: "Director, this is my idea." There are many restaurants in Los Angeles that are run by families. Therefore, the attire is very casual and natural. I don't think the actor and Damon would choose to go to a restaurant that is too high-end, it's too conspicuous to compare......"

Peng Yichen directly interrupted Luo Lisi's opportunity to continue explaining: "If there is a next time, get out of my crew immediately!"

Peng Yichen didn't have any explanation, and said coldly to Luo Lisi.

In an instant, the entire crew was silent.

Several crew members who had a good relationship with Loris didn't dare to go up and say a good word for her.

Because everyone knows that Peng Yichen's influence and status in the Hollywood film industry now far exceed the influence and status of all of them combined.

This is the power of top directors and top Hollywood power figures, and no one dares to stand up and question his decision at such a time.

Michael, who was standing next to him, was at a loss because he had no idea what was going on, but the problem was that Cole didn't come to the crew today, which meant that no one could act as a buffer.

Luo Lisi was so frightened by Peng Yichen's tone that her body trembled, and the tears in her eyes kept swirling, and they would drip down at any time.

Peng Yichen didn't plan to explain, but when he saw Luo Lisi and the other crew members around her, there was confusion and confusion in his eyes in addition to fear.

Before he turned around and walked away, he explained: "Pittsburgh is not Los Angeles, and the restaurant association here clearly stipulates that all restaurant chefs are not allowed to grow beards when cooking! Otherwise, if they are discovered, they will be immediately expelled from the association." A restaurant without a restaurant association brand means going out of business in this city!"

Although the script of "Three Days of Danger" was adapted by Peng Yichen on the basis of the original script of Summit Entertainment, this does not mean that he will be perfunctory and adapt this script at will without investigating all kinds of information.

At this time, everyone present showed a shocked look, they didn't expect that Peng Yichen would even be investigated and verified in such a subtle place.

Peng Yichen looked at Luo Lisi and said seriously: "Forget it this time, if there is a next time, leave immediately!!"

Loris nodded convincingly this time, she didn't dare to assert herself anymore, and immediately took the extras to the dressing room and rearranged him.

Lian Mu looked at all this, and his understanding of Peng Yichen deepened a little.

Sure enough, every successful person is supported by countless details beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Liam couldn't help but start to reflect that since he relied on "Hurricane Rescue" and became a Hollywood first-line action star, he has always relied on the label of "tough guy" to make money and make a living.

For his performance, he no longer has the passion and hard work that he had when he was young.

Is this the real reason why I have been unable to win the final actor award for so many years?

……

Liam turned his head to look at Peng Yichen, who was standing next to the cameraman Zhao Liansheng at this time, still discussing the issue of lens light.

At this time, the Huaxia director's brows were still tightly wrinkled, and he still couldn't get rid of the emotions just now, but his eyes had already gathered all the focus, and he was discussing with Zhao Liansheng about the use of the next scene.

In many people's eyes, Peng Yichen seems to have achieved incredible success overnight.

In Huaxia, his first film "Twelve Warriors" was a box office hit and word of mouth exploded, and then he was called the first commercial director to sell more than 1 billion Chinese coins in a single film.

After landing in North America, his "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" also had a bumper harvest in word-of-mouth and box office, and "Beautiful Life" won three Oscars.

"The Country Teacher" has received a super shocking box office of $3.1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film in film history.

But no one thought about how much effort Peng Yichen had put in and how many thresholds he had crossed behind these successes.

From his debut in 2005 to 2011, the young man starred and filmed in twelve films and three TV series.

If you count what he announced, the next movie with Natalie Portman.

In other words, he made 13 movies in 6 years.

This kind of workload and work pressure is almost unimaginable for Liam.

What's even more terrifying is that these movies have all been successful, and even if the box office has not exploded, word of mouth has exploded.

Taking advantage of the time for the extras to change their costumes, Liam Neeson secretly saved more energy for the next scene.

But I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much, but my mind is messed up like a pot of porridge, and my state is not too good.

In fact, the plot that he has been unable to get over is not complicated, between him and Peng Yichen, there is only the performance of the lines and the change of micro-expressions on his face.

But this also made Liam, who is good at body movement performance, feel at a loss.

The importance of lines and micro-expressions is infinitely magnified in this shot.

Liam had to chew every line repeatedly, think about every change in expression, and then try to deduce his own style according to Peng Yichen's requirements.

That doesn't sound like a difficult thing to do.

Every year during the awards season, there are always a lot of similar reviews in those movie reviews.

"He has his own stylized performance charm"

"He gives life to the characters and uses every line to make this vitality so real and alive",

"He and his character are one"

……

But people have selectively forgotten that the only actors who can get these evaluations are: Meryl Streep, Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis and a very small number of actors......

These geniuses in performance make the audience always think that acting is like eating and drinking, it is a very simple thing.

But only those who have really performed with their hearts can understand how difficult and painful it is to cut their hearts and turn themselves into another person in front of countless people and cameras.

Liam Neeson is not that kind of actor at all, born with a talent for acting.

From the moment he debuted, he knew that he didn't have any talent in this area.

Therefore, he can only continue to improve his acting skills through continuous efforts and try his best to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

And these are definitely not easy tasks.

But this time, Peng Yichen's challenge to him was far beyond his imagination.

Even higher than in "Schindler's List", Spielberg demanded more from him.

In Liam's mind, he doesn't care about his performance, whether it's expressionist or methodistic.

As long as it can meet the director's requirements and meet the characters in the plot, it is enough for him.

But this is precisely where he has problems.

He is not an artist who creates characters, but a craftsman who realizes the director's intentions.

His understanding of the characters and the way he performs them all come from the director's requirements, rather than his own realizations from the depths of his soul.

With a long exhale, Liam asked himself to persevere.

Because the higher Peng Yichen's requirements for him now, it means that the movie he wants to cooperate with himself will be more difficult to perform.

Of course, this also means that the movies that Peng Yichen collaborated with himself must be going for the awards season.

This may be the last chance of his career to hit the Oscars.

But...... Ideas are one thing, execution is another.

Looking at the script in his hand, Liam kept adjusting his breathing, and finally settled down his emotions and adjusted his state.

The next moment, the lights on the set shone directly on his face, completely disrupting the rhythm in Liam's heart.

Liam sat in front of the bar and felt that Peng Yichen had looked at him.

He always felt that in the eyes of this young director, there was a taste of challenge and comparison.

Although Liam Neeson has fully recognized Peng Yichen's acting skills and directing ability.

But his dignity as an old actor still makes him reluctant to bow his head to a young man.

Although he was not ready, he still nodded stubbornly and told Peng Yichen that he was fine.

"Okay, let's start filming right away!" Peng Yichen smiled slightly, so that the entire crew was ready to start filming, this shot that had been stumped for Liam more than a dozen times.

Liam took a deep breath, handed over the script in his hand to a field officer, and prepared to use his full strength to complete Peng Yichen's rigorous test.
