"Welcome to the MIT-21-TEAM Club. ”

In the small study room, the camera rack is set up at the door, Valey Pfister controls the machine, Wang Yang looks at the monitor, and sees Natalie sitting on a chair with a smile on the screen, with her left hand behind the back of the chair, and the expressionless Nick Canon, the gentle smiling Alexis, and the cold Mok Wenwei are sitting in the back positions.

"Ok, cut!" ”

This is exactly when filming Jeff Ma was brought to the 21 point group by Jay Baruchel, Natalie and others introduced the 21 points clearly and invited him to join, Jeff Ma did not say yes or no, just asked what was going on with the card counting, after everyone demonstrated it, he quickly understood and learned, everyone in the group laughed, played with three decks of cards and played with him for a long time, and Jeff Mar, who won a lot of chips, suddenly showed disdain, but then he learned a lesson.

There are many scenes in several different study rooms, that is, the "club", including Jeff Ma joining the group, the whole process of learning card counting and practice, as for the skills of fighting wits with the casino, etc., in the post-editing conceived by Wang Yang, some scenes are like learning at the table and are used in straight lines, while some are like Natalie standing in front of the blackboard, holding chalk and drawing while talking, which is the flashback montage that Jeff Ma needs to use when he first steps into the casino.

Although the scenes are not large, these shots are very trivial to shoot, because there are many camera positions, and depending on the time of the story of the shot, the appearance of the actors' clothes has to be changed.

Soon and smoothly filmed the invitation to join this scene, and came to the plot of Natalie and Wu Yanzu playing cards. After the first three decks of cards, the smiling Natalie increased the number of cards to eight, simulating the actual situation of the casino, and took out a large stack of cards at the beginning, making the number of points and aces on the table difficult to estimate.

At the gaming table, which is made up of several desks, Jay Baruchel, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, stands, his left hand slides rapidly through the deck, and the cards are constantly dealt, behind him are a tall camera, a recording microphone, etc., and in the middle of the front sits Wu Yanzu, a frowning man, and Natalie, who smiles faintly, flanked by Alexis and Nick Canon.

One by one the cards were played, at this time Jay suddenly picked up a new deck of cards cut off part of it and put it into the card pile, Wu Yanzu suddenly had a surprised expression: "Hey, hey!" Natalie tapped the table with a chip, she turned her head slightly to look at Wu Yanzu, and smiled as if to say, "What's wrong?"

"Cut!" Wang Yang next to the camera shouted, under the eyes of everyone, he looked at Natalie, and said, "Nata, when did you become so kind? Don't just smile! Give me something evil! But instead of laughing, you are saying, 'Smart boy, how are you now?' Speak with your eyes!" Natalie thought and nodded: "Okay." ”

He looked at Alexis and said, "And Ali, Nick, you too!" Nick, your smile can be bigger, 'You know it's amazing!' Ali, your smile is sympathetic, obvious, 'He's just like I was then, being played by Amanda, it's so pitiful.' He clapped his hands and said, "Come again! Remember that when there is a camera but no lines, don't forget to give yourself an attitude!

"Okay!" Alexis and Nick also nodded, after being reminded of the character's mentality by the director, it was much easier to act, after all, this is not a difficult and complicated emotion.

"action!" ...... "cut!" is much better than just now, but it's still a little bit worse!", "Daniel, I think you can do better, e-on!...... On this day, the crew had a tight schedule, filming some campus exterior scenes in the morning, and coming to the study room in the afternoon. After working at high intensity for a day, the crew did not continue in the evening, regardless of the cast and crew need to rest, it will only backfire if it is too fast. And on this night, there was one thing that attracted the attention of the media, and that was the announcement of the list of nominees for the 75th Academy Awards.

Many fans have turned on the TV to watch, but after the Golden Globe Awards and the major union awards, the nominations for this year's Oscars are really lacking in suspense, and several academic movies are bound to be big hits. One of the few eye-catching suspenses now is, will the Oscars be the first time in 20 years that science fiction films and directors will appear again? Will Wonder Young be nominated for the first Oscar for Best Director, setting a new record for the youngest nominee for the award?

This year's Oscars have a total of 25 awards, on the TV screen, one award nomination after another is read out in full, the big screen on the scene shows the nominee's photo, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Documentary...... "The five nominees for Best Actor are, Adrien Brody, "The Pianist", Nicolas Cage, "Adapted Screenplay", Robert Downey Jr., "District 9": Daniel Day-Lewis, "Gangs of New York", Jack Nicholson, "About Schmidt". ”

Jessica, who was sitting on the sofa, clenched her fists happily, after more than 20 awards, her palms were already full of sweat, and when she heard the host say "Next is the best director", she took a deep breath and held her breath, only to see that with the sound, the screen on the scene played a photo of Stephen Dudley: ""All the Time", Rob Marshall "Chicago", Roman Polanski "The Pianist", Martin Scorsese "Gangs of New York" ......"

Also, Wang Yang, "District 9". ”

"......" Jessica closed her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, she didn't have the emotion of jumping up with joy as she imagined before, she was very happy and satisfied, the whole person seemed to be trembling, but she also had a sense of tranquility, she picked up the microphone with a smile on her face and called Wang Yang.

At this time, the TV screen continued to announce: "The five films nominated for Best Picture are, "Chicago", "District 9", "The Pianist", "Gangs of New York", "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers". ”

"Wow-!" Jessica seemed to feel the huge excitement, Huo Di raised her hands and stood up, the microphone in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, she was stunned, and quickly leaned over to pick it up, and said, "Young, hello, hello, how are you?

With the end of the show, all the 25 nominations for this year's Oscars were announced, and Miramax, the producer of "Chicago" and "Moment to Moment", is still the biggest winner, and the flame film has also gained a lot of money, "Ice Age" was shortlisted for Best Animated Feature, and "District 9" received 7 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing.

In addition to "Roman Polanski was nominated, the police said he was arrested immediately upon entry." "Nicole Kidman's Oscar queen is in sight. "Science fiction movies return to the Oscars!" has become the focus of many media, and the youngest nominee for Best Director, Robert Downey Jr., is redeeming himself...... Now no one seems to remember the impossibility of what they said 2 years ago.

Boston's night sky is full of snowflakes, bare trees, dim street lamps are covered with a layer of snow, and students and pedestrians on the MIT campus are wearing gloves and hats, not many people appreciate this common snow scene, and the crew of "MIT-21-team" started tonight, because there are some scenes of snowy nights, and now this snow is not too big or small, just right for filming.

"I'm wondering, which star is home to the shrimp worm people?" Natalie, dressed in a black coat, looked up at the sky, her feet of tall black cloth boots stepping on the thick snow, and she asked softly, "Will they be happy to know that they have won the Oscars?"

The film crew was setting up equipment on the side of the road, Valey Pfister and gaffer Steve Taylor were standing by the street lamp, talking about the lighting plan for the waiting meeting, and Wang Yang, who was in charge of the play, stood next to Natalie on the roadside lawn, looking at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, where were the stars? He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I guess which star is the beauty queen of Pad?"

"Earth. Natalie's face regained a slight tilt, glanced at him, and asked, "I don't seem to have asked you all along, are you a Star Wars fan?" Wang Yang also glanced at her, looked at the sky again, and smiled: "It's not a big-fan, but I can name all the characters and chronicles." Natalie laughed and asked, "That's not a big-fan?" ”

"Because that's more research, not intoxication, but it's great. Wang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sky in front of him seemed to have spaceships flying around, and said, "I love the interstellar world, man, the top of our heads is really full of charm...... Actually, I like Star Trek better, but it's not like it's clean, you know I like a boat, a team. ”

Natalie looked at him sideways, only to see him smile and say, "A unique and charming captain, and some companions with different personalities, and then roam the universe, many different planets, those planets have various characteristics and cultures...... Then the ship whirred down, and the hatch tent opened, and the crew stood there casually but coolly......"

"Sounds good, but why huhuhu?" Natalie frowned and asked, "Shouldn't it be boom...... Wang Yang had a serious look on his face and said, "Wow, wow, wow, okay?" Natalie smiled and nodded: "OK, it's really a magical spaceship!" Wang Yang smiled, and when he saw Rachel, who had finished her makeup, walk out of the crew truck, he waved and shouted: "Rachel! Rachel is here!"

The shot that is about to be filmed is that the female detective Beverly came to MIT to investigate with a spider's trace, she was walking on the road to the campus, and happened to meet Amanda head-on, but the two had always been separated from each other before, so they didn't recognize each other, they just passed by.

Rachel wears a white coat and a pair of high brown boots, and her supple blonde hair is dyed pale brown and curly by the "stylist", and she has a ponytail tied in a small ponytail with bangs and hanging hair on both sides. Looking at Wang Yang, who was shouting over there, she smiled and raised her right hand and shook it, then trotted over quickly with her pocket.

Beverly doesn't have a lot of scenes in this big scene in Boston, it's been a few days since the start of filming, and tonight is the first time Rachel has participated in the shooting, and the first shot is the long-awaited rivalry between her and Natalie, although there is no line, but both of them feel that the acting nerves are beating excitedly, and secretly give birth to a sense of competition.

"Hi. Rachel came up to the two of them and said hello, smiling slightly, and Natalie smiled, "Hi." ”

Wang Yang looked at them, the height and body shape are basically the same number, which is in line with his lens preset, but the close-up of the two looking at each other when they pass by is the key to this set of shots, he said seriously: "You all know the script, you don't know who is who at this time, and you have never met, but Rachel, you have actually seen many disguised Natalie in the blurry surveillance video." ”

"Well, I know. Rachel, who was listening carefully, nodded, and Wang Yang continued: "You are a very observant person, so the moment you touch Natalie's eyes, your heart suddenly becomes vigilant, and there is a strong sense of rejection, and some confusion. Natalie spread her hands helplessly and said, "I just hate it so much." Rachel pursed her lips and smiled, "I promise I'll do the same." ”

"You guessed it. Wang Yang turned his head to look at Natalie and explained to her: "You also have such a situation, and you are very vigilant and repulsive. He wrinkled his face and slowly performed sideways, saying, "Two ladies, you are like natural enemies! Cat and mouse, lion and tiger...... Rachel and Natalie whispered in unison, "They are not." Wang Yang paused, kept smiling and said, "Oh, thank you for the correction, wow, I have another piece of knowledge!"

"Then I will also tell you a knowledge, don't provoke the director when he is talking, otherwise...... Ahh Natalie shook her head and sighed, "I'm worried about your future children. ”

Wang Yang pinched his chin and smiled, his face was hit by the falling snowflakes, he felt very cool, and he continued to say seriously: "This is a very subtle feeling, there is no way to explain it clearly in dialogue, but thank you to the Creator for giving us eyes, so please use it, you're welcome!

The two girls nodded when they heard this, and became serious, their faces full of contemplation, and they were thinking about what he said.

Eyes have always had magic, and for an actor, the eyes are a very important flashpoint of acting, but the eyes are actually related to the demeanor of the whole face, and the two cannot draw a clear line, otherwise there is no eye if you only look at one eyeball. Wang Yang wants to be able to speak with his eyes well, the most important thing is whether he can capture the mentality of that character at that time, become that person, and then burst out his emotions.

"Action!" At the sound of a command, the camera was started shooting, and the film in the cassette rotated rapidly in a frame, turning into a picture.

White snowflakes fluttered and the street lamps lit up and down, and Rachel and Natalie walked up and down head-on, both of them seemed to slow down in the moment when their bodies were parallel, and they turned their heads to look at each other......
