Chapter 812: Shooting speed
Chapter 812 Shooting speed
Jiang Xia didn't answer Xiliu immediately, but after signing and signing, he said to Xiliu: "You can consider it." Music-Literature"
"I haven't read your script, so I don't know what you're going to shoot, but I think with your acting skills, you can handle a character under the age of forty. Xiliu said.
Jiang Xia said: "Yes, I will act." The conditions were modified, and the role of a male doctor around the age of thirty-five was removed, and I played it myself. Kids around the age of 10 are replaced by mixed-race children, no, Asian children. The role of housewife was changed to that of a young woman of twenty years old, and I had another choice for housewife. ”
"Good. Xiliu laughed.
Jiang Xia said: "Arrange it as soon as possible, mainly the venue." ”
"Rest assured, soon. Get back to you within three days. Xiliu assured.
Jiang Xia left Paramount headquarters satisfied.
Before, Jiang Xia really didn't think about playing too many roles in it, the role he wanted to play didn't have many scenes, but it was the most important role. He wants to play the real soul of Chainsaw - the jigsaw murderer "Jigsaw".
"Jigsaw" is the real soul of Chainsaw.
There are a total of seven parts of "Chainsaw", and the "jigsaw" runs throughout.
The whole movie story is a game he made.
Jiang Xia's original plan was to play jigsaw, but after Xiliu's persuasion, Jiang Xia suddenly woke up to the fact that it was impossible for him to really finish filming the seven-part "Chainsaw", and it was impossible for him to really carry out the role of "Jigsaw" throughout.
Therefore, he had to give up the role of "jigsaw" and change to another role.
In the first part, there are too few scenes of "Jigsaw", and there is only one frontal shot, which was Jiang Xia's plan, because in the second part of "Chainsaw", the rivalry between "Jigsaw" and Officer Matthew is definitely a wonderful highlight.
But Jiang Xia didn't have much time to shoot the sequels, as long as he shot a sequel, countless people would look forward to the sequel until the end of the series. Jiang Xia can't shoot the end of this series, so he can only choose not to play the classic role "Jigsaw", because even if he can shoot three, he can't shoot seven.
gave up such a classic role, Jiang Xia was unwilling.
However, Jiang Xia still spent half an hour adjusting his mentality.
There are so many classic roles, he can't play them all, and it seems like nothing to give up one.
However, Jiang Xia is still a little congested, that's a "jigsaw", a classic among the classics, so unwilling!
Unwilling, Jiang Xia drove back to Paramount and found Xiliu again.
"Cancel the previous change, it's still a thirty-five-year-old man, playing a doctor, a housewife in his thirties, plus their children, change it back. Jiang Xia said.
"Uh, you're not acting?" asked Westliu.
"I'll play it, but I won't play the role anymore, and you'll know when the time comes. Go ahead and arrange it. Jiang Xia said.
Xiliu nodded and said, "Okay." Fortunately, I didn't send things over before, and I can modify them in time. ”
Jiang Xia looked at Xiliu's revision, and suddenly said: "Set up a crew as soon as possible, you don't need too many people, two or three cameras are enough to use, you will use a lot of props if you give more makeup, and there will be a few more props." ”
"Good. Xiliu agreed and made changes.
Jiang Xia was not in a hurry to leave, so he commanded Xiliu to make personnel adjustments on the sidelines.
Two days later, He Ying arrived in Los Angeles.
Jiang Xia personally went over to pick up people and saw He Ying, who gave Jiang Xia a big hug.
"Hey, why are you so enthusiastic?" Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Long time no see, hug, what's wrong?" He Ying smiled, "Director Jiang, let's say, what role do you give me?"
"There are not many scenes, just two or three minutes of footage, playing my apprentice. Jiang Xia said.
"Apprentice, aren't you making a horror movie, and you still need an apprentice?" He Ying said in surprise.
"In the sequel. Jiangxia said.
"That's right, it's popular to make a sequel here. He Ying nodded, "No problem, the apprentice is the apprentice, when will the filming start?"
"In a week's time, it's almost ready. Jiang Xia calculated the time and said, "You live first, play in Hollywood, and call you when filming starts." I'm a little busy, you can go to play with your sister Fangfei. ”
"Okay. He Ying nodded.
After Jiang Xia arranged for her to stay in the hotel, he didn't care about her anymore and handed her over to You Fangfei.
He Ying and You Fangfei know each other, speaking of which, He Ying still knew You Fangfei first, and Jiang Xia again.
Jiang Xia is indeed busy, he is the director and screenwriter, and he has to discuss with the props team to make all the props that should be available. You can make it a little rougher, but not too rough.
Filming a cult movie is not about how good it is or how good the picture is, but about the extreme depression and atmosphere, which needs to be coordinated by Jiang Xia as the director.
After He Ying arrived, Jiang Xia also began to audition for the actors.
It took only two days to finalize all the actors, and then another day to determine the filming location. For another two days, we set up props and design the scene.
A week later, Jiang Xia arranged almost all the scenes to be filmed.
"You're too fast, aren't you?" the corners of Weststream's mouth twitched.
He followed Jiang Xia the whole process, and watched Jiang Xia do this, the speed was staggering. Even if the team assigned to him is a top team, it can't be so fast, it shouldn't be so fast.
But on the contrary, Jiang Xia spent a week arranging all the preparations, and then turned on and filmed.
All the actors were stunned for a moment, there was no rehearsal, and they didn't know what to shoot until the script was in their hands, and fortunately, the script didn't look complicated.
In fact, the script is not complicated, and the difficulty of filming is not high, they are all professional actors, and their reputation is not high, but the basic strength is there, and what Jiang Xia wants is the basic strength.
Cult movies don't need too clever performances, and there is often not much difference between actor-level hysteria and ordinary-level hysteria, especially in cult movies, and the gap is not visible. The performances of the actors are more about the subtleties and the real chapter, and the same exaggerated performances can be reflected in many details by the actors.
However, cult movies don't need this kind of detail very much, so actor-level performances are a burden.
The actors did not go through rehearsals, and only read the script twice before shooting, but the shooting speed was a bit amazing.
Xiliu and He Ying followed the whole process, the two of them were Jiang Xia's assistants, Xiliu was responsible for communicating with others, and He Ying was responsible for serving tea and water.
Under the attention of the two of them, Jiang Xia spent two days filming the secret room scene, and at the same time, he also found time to shoot several small scenes, such as the fat man's death scene.
Then, Jiang Xia spent seven days filming all the other scenes.
Nine days!
