Chapter 1733: Shooting
The most troublesome thing for a crew is running-in.
There needs to be run-in between actors and actors, between directors and actors, and even between actors and scenes.
If it doesn't reach the level of tacit understanding, then this movie can't be made well.
Yin Jun's seriousness on the first day of filming is definitely not a disadvantage.
As a film that hit the Oscars for the third time, Yin Jun put all his energy out from the beginning.
The house where he lives temporarily is almost all covered with various storyboard pictures, and every actor who has a role in the scene is holding a lot of materials and lines.
Several main actors, including the German officer, the protagonist's father, the protagonist's brother, Dorotta, Heller, ...... and so on, they were all specially selected by Yin Jun.
Like Tom Hanks, they all got the script months in advance, and got their own requirements and lines.
For example, the one who played the German army officer, Liam Nissen, got the script and ran to Germany as soon as possible, asking for two months of training in a German military academy.
When he appeared in front of Yin Jun again, his tall posture and cold expression were exactly the same as the German officers in the play, and even surpassed.
No wonder people can become world-class superstars in the future, this kind of dedication is not something that ordinary people can have.
Let Schindler, the actor in Schindler's list, play the German officer in "The Pianist", which is definitely not Yin Jun's fun position.
But among the several actors selected according to Yin Jun's requirements, Yin Jun is the most suitable to watch Liam Neeson.
This actor, who worked hard in the UK, actively handed over his resume when he heard that Yin Jun's new film was selecting an actor to play a German officer.
Although his acting experience is not gorgeous, he directly mixed a few photos of himself wearing German officer costumes into the information, which made the director in charge of the audition feel very interesting, so he put it in the re-selection list, and was finally selected by Yin Jun.
The rest of the actors also knew that this was Yin Jun's play, and at the same time knew that this was Yin Jun's third Oscar play, so they all desperately wanted to squeeze in, in order to leave their names in this movie.
Anyway, no matter whether Yin Jun can win the Oscar or not, it is an honor in itself to be able to star in such a movie.
For this reason, the crew of "The Pianist" selected a bunch of actors, including Schipperman's family, who are not too famous, but have rich acting experience.
They were very well prepared one by one, and they didn't need Yin Jun to spur them on, and they themselves were like Liam Neeson, better prepared than Yin Jun imagined.
In this case, after the previous week of running-in, the filming speed of the film gradually accelerated.
From his home to the Jewish quarter, the crowding and gathering of 500,000 people did not make Schippelman feel safe, but rather cold.
All kinds of extreme conditions, all kinds of German soldiers' murderous behaviors at every turn, he was tortured again and again, and his soul was greatly traumatized.
It can be said that the collapse after Schippelmann was not accidental, it was predestined a long time ago.
Through his terrible situation, through the scenes of killing and madness he saw, the tragic fate of the Jews was slowly revealed.
And the fate of the supporting characters is also in the multi-narrative style, going hand in hand.
With a group of good actors and a group of production staff who are familiar with themselves, Yin Jun's directing gradually began to be like a fish in water again, which was very enjoyable.
When Yin Jun was filming, he didn't care about any time restrictions, once conditions permitted, he often filmed for five or six hours in a row, and he didn't even drink water and rest.
Sometimes I fight until two or three o'clock in the morning, and I don't have any scruples.
Even in Hollywood, no actor dares to say that Yin Jun is not in compliance with the regulations - you can say the same to a director, but when this director is also an Oscar-level bull and the number one giant in Hollywood, you are simply joking about your acting career when you talk like this.
When he arrived in the Czech Republic, Yin Jun was even more so, often for the progress and smoothness of filming first, and the rest could ignore everything and be ranked last.
Hajiekova and Yerinchenva, the two girls who just joined the crew, were also tired enough.
They had to be busy from morning to night every day, and sometimes they only slept four or five before they had to get up and continue to work with Yin Jun.
Khajiekova, who originally had some ideas, stopped thinking about Yin Jun at all, and just thought about taking a good night's sleep and doing nothing, which was the best.
Ye Linqinwa, who looks more delicate, is much more resilient than her sister, although she often makes her throat dry and hoarse when she speaks, she never complains about hardship or tiredness.
No matter how hard it is, early the next morning, she will inevitably appear by Yin Jun's side and start working.
It's just that this girl's meal has increased a lot.
The point is that no matter how she eats, there is no sign of obesity.
In addition, after getting acquainted with Yin Jun, she could think of many things that Yin Jun hadn't spoken before she could help Yin Jun give instructions, which saved Yin Jun a lot of effort.
As a result, the boy praised the girl who had completely become his translator and personal secretary.
The boy decided to investigate for a while, and if Yelinchenwa was still so good and had made enough progress, he wouldn't mind taking this girl to the United States and letting her take on some positions in the North American branch of the Kirin Group in the United States.
As for that sister of hers......
Although Hajiekova is a little lazy, she has never shirked what she should do, and she can get along with everyone in the crew, and she is very good at relationships, even Shi Shaoming mentioned that this woman is a natural social master.
God knows how scared and conflicted this woman looked when she met her for the first time.
But Yin Jun also knows that the reason why Hajiekova can be so open is entirely because he gave her the best platform.
Without worries, Khajiekova will naturally be able to give full play to her abilities and do a good job.
And I don't know if it's because of her family genes, Hajiekova's English has become closer and closer to the American accent after this period of communication.
As for the genius of Yerinchenva, she has learned the Los Angeles accent and the Nevada vernacular in addition to the standard accent.
"The Pianist" is not a multi-line narrative, so Yin Jun basically shoots it chronologically.
During the filming, Tom Hanks also let everyone see his ruthlessness.
Originally, Tom Hanks's height was 183 cm, and his weight was about 150 pounds.
In order to shoot "The Pianist", he has lost 130 pounds.
And it's not by exercising to lose weight, but by eating so little, eating less meat, and losing weight by starvation.
Because this is the only way to show the feeling of emaciation.
Pianists are all artists, so it's naturally better to be thinner.
But in the second half of the script, when Schippelman is constantly jolting, constantly being hit, and hiding everywhere, there is nothing to eat, he will become thinner - if it weren't for his thinness, he wouldn't have stumbled through the ruins looking for tools with a can of fruit, and finally when he opened the can, he met the kind German officer.
It is worth mentioning that this German officer did not actually find out of conscience and save Schippelmann, but he was a good man himself.
The officer, who had been a school teacher, started as a small soldier and rose through the ranks to become a senior officer in Poland, helping poor Poles and Jews along the way.
It was not just Schippelman who was rescued, but many others.
So after that he was put in prison by Big Brother, and many Polish Jews went to intercede with Big Brother and let him go.
Unfortunately, in the end, no one succeeded, and the kind German officer died in prison.
During the filming, Polanski did not deliberately emphasize this point, he did not be overly sensational, did not treat the German officer as another Schindler, but put him in the role of a helper and bystander, to continue to express Schipperman's ordeal and ordeal.
It cannot be said that Polanski's expression is problematic, everyone has something they want to express.
Yin Jun also knew Polanski's thoughts.
If the German officer is brilliant, then the film is not about the tragic fate of the Jews, but about a story of redemption.
Yin Jun thinks this is very good, and this expression is in line with the book description of "The Pianist", as well as the sense of sad fate.
So in Yin Jun's script, the performance of the German officers is also relatively bland.
However, the boy is going to write a sentence of gratitude to the German officer at the end of the film.
After all, if you do good deeds and save lives, you should be praised.
The topic comes back.
In order to show Schippelman's mental breakdown and physical torture, Tom Hanks had to lose weight.
This is what Yin Jun told him.
So from the first day of filming, Tom Hanks deliberately controlled his diet.
By the thirty-fifth day, Tom Hanks was living almost entirely on eggs and salad.
This effect is also obvious, on the fiftieth day, Tom Hanks is only 108 pounds.
By the time the German flamethrowers swept the house, forcing Schippelman to leave the abandoned house where he was hiding, Tom Hanks was only about 100 pounds.
At this time, when Tom Hanks, who was unkempt and bearded, appeared in front of the camera, his face, hands, feet and entire body were horribly thin.
After filming the first set of shots, Yin Jun gave him a thumbs up.
And the applause behind him also rang out.
