Chapter 150: Action
She also knows that if she throws this sentence out today, it may appear in the media tomorrow and attract criticism. But what is that? The name of director Cameron's "tyrant on the set" is known all over the world. Why do you think he always uses newcomers to make movies? It's not that he likes to use it, but that famous actors don't dare to play with him, thinking he's too harsh.
Even so, he is still the best legendary director in Hollywood and the world. With strength in front, all problems are not a problem!
Leila naturally doesn't think that she will have more of a king's spirit when she is reborn, and she will make the other party's tiger body shake when she says a few words, and then obediently sends her knees while singing about conquest.
This is not her territory, these people are only her subordinates who have cooperated with once, and if she wants them to be honest and obedient in the fastest time, the only way is to make them fear themselves, instead of spending a lot of time making them respect themselves. In her words, they are not their own people, so why is there any need to have a good relationship?
Her request is simple, just take the salary and do the work to her satisfaction. If she can't even make such a small request, she really doesn't mind helping the crew downsize the number of people at all. And with her ability, the person who was rudely kicked out by her will not want to find a good job in the future.
I don't know if her words shocked the crew, although the atmosphere of the crew was still weird, but the progress did not show anything that made Lyra unhappy.
That's it. She was satisfied.
Playing Chen Long's partner is still the original Chris Tucker. This chattering black guy made a great impression on everyone who saw the movie, whether they liked him or not, and it was really hard to ignore his existence.
Lyra heard that the role was originally going to be played by Martin Lawrence, who would have starred in "Undercover Fat Mom" and "Jedi Men" in the future, but I don't know why Tucker finally got it.
Actually, she likes Martin a lot, but it's a pity that she joined too late, and it's impossible to fight for the choice of roles. However, she has no bad impression of Tucker, and it is said that a large part of the lines of the black characters in this movie are improvised by him, which shows his own talent.
“UT。 This one has passed. ”
Filming has entered its third day, and the crew is filming a set of shots in Chinatown. Leila looked up at the sky, it should be enough to shoot a group. Half an hour later, the light was off in a direction she didn't want.
"Tucker, Long Chen, about the next shot. She called the two protagonists to herself. "Your interaction could have been more intense. ”
Tucker made a gesture that he didn't understand: "How strong can it be, do you want him to sing with me?" Black people have a natural talent for rhythm, and even a very ordinary word can sound like a rap song that people can't help but twist along.
Leila raised an eyebrow: "Nice proposal, then sing it." ”
The two on the other side froze at the same time, especially Chen Long: "Let me sing, sing him?"
"That's right. Leila nodded, "Is there any problem?"
It's a big problem! Chen Long smiled bitterly. Let him sing an oriental song, he promises to sing it in a heart-wrenching way, but rap? Isn't it really a joke about him?
"I won't. He didn't even know what expression to use.
Leila looked at him with a smile: "I don't have to learn." I think you can sing very well. Tucker, it's up to you to teach him. ”
Tucker smiled, "Yo, man, did you hear me, come with me." ”
Chen Long had no choice but to follow him to the side and gesture "yo yo". That loveless look almost made Lyra laugh.
She recruited a photographer: "Take some pictures of what they look like." "It must be interesting to put these shots in the footage.
The photographer was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”
Filming this kind of nonsense shot, this movie is estimated to really become an expensive "toy" for the little director. The disdain in his eyes flashed, and he still followed Leila's words and pointed the camera at Chen Long and the others, who were still practicing rap songs over there.
Although I can't look down on her, I won't forget if I put her down on the first day, it's just a job, just do your job, anyway, no matter how good or bad the box office is, it has nothing to do with me.
It's not that Leila didn't see the crew's contempt for her, and she didn't take it to heart at all. It's as if the gods in the sky don't care about what kind of life the mortals under their feet live. The world she lives in is different, and she only needs a successful movie to bounce back the scorn she has received today with a hundredfold power. Those who look down on her today can only look up to her tomorrow!
But before that, she has one more problem that must be solved, and that is...... It was also her first time filming a real action movie.
In the "Thunder Drama" she filmed in her previous life, there were also particularly exaggerated action scenes. It's not as brutal as a hand-tearing devil or something like that, but it's not much better. Basically, the protagonist dangles around with a weapon, and the cannon fodder is killed in various tricks.
Chen Long's action scenes must not be filmed like that, how to use the camera to show his unique kung fu charm is what Leila has been thinking about these days.
The original shot was good, but she still wanted to add something of her own. Many classic filming techniques in later generations are very good, such as The Matrix's "Bullet Time" is a landmark interpretation technique, and I don't know how many movies and television have borrowed it from their own works.
The next day, what needed to be shot was a set of chase shots, Chen Long wanted to get to his friend's side, and Tucker chased after him. This is also one of the more exciting sections in the movie, and Chen Long's light figure in the crowd and traffic has left a deep impression on many people.
In Hollywood films, humor has always been an indispensable part, just like the status of song and dance in Indian films, even if it is a very serious and sad story, there will be one or several places that can make people chuckle out loud or laugh heartily.
The positioning of rush hour was originally action, kung fu and comedy, and Leila wanted to deepen some comedy elements, not only to make people laugh in the martial arts action, but also to show some eye-catching effects from some subtle small actions.
"Attention departments, a!" Leila ordered, and Chen Long, who was standing on the roof of one car, made a gesture of looking back, jumping over the car driving on the other side.
It was a double-decker bar carrying many elderly tourists, and when they saw him descend from the sky, everyone clapped their hands and let out exclamatory sounds. Chen Long beckoned to them, smiled, and before he could say anything, he found that the policeman played by Tucker had already caught up.
