Chapter 139: Start Filming 2
At the beginning of May, Lester took the whole crew on a plane to the King's Theatre on the street near Broadway in New York, and the actors followed suit.
Lester set the filming location at the King's Theatre, which was like Batman's Gotham City.
With the help of Warner Bros., personnel were temporarily hired to come over to help, so that no one would break in and disturb the filming of the entire crew.
"Try to paint her makeup like a mature woman in her 30s. ”
In the makeup car, Lester arranges for a makeup artist to put on Brooke Silly.
If the already beautiful and refined Brooke Xiaosi doesn't paint her makeup well, it will still be the original image of the jade girl.
In order not to give people the impression that Brigitte Valle is a jade girl, Lester asked the makeup artist to paint Brooke Shields with makeup.
Putting on glasses, tied up her hair, her face was changed by the makeup artist, and she broke away from her beautiful and refined appearance, and then put on a reporter's uniform, Brooke Thread finally looked like a photographer under the familiar packaging of the makeup artist.
"Stand up and walk a few steps, turn around and do a reporter's interview, and treat me like the person you're going to interview. Lester moderately asked her to put on a show.
Brooke Ace followed Lester's words, got up and walked a few steps, came to Lester, pushed her glasses, and asked with a desire for news in her eyes: "Mr. Lester, how did you choose Michael Keaton to play Batman." ”
Lester saw that Brooke Xiaosi's face was less beautiful and refined, and there was a little bit of a reporter's figure, so he clapped his hands and encouraged, "Very good." ”
Hearing Lester's affirmation, Brooke Shields breathed a sigh of relief.
After more than a month of pondering the role of Brigitte Valle as a photographer, I even consulted real photographers and journalists to take the initiative to understand their inner activities.
Brooke Shield's makeup was done, and Lester went to see Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson's makeup.
Michael Keaton's bat makeup only needs to be worn in the Batman suit, and it doesn't need to be changed much.
On the contrary, Jack Nicholson's clown makeup is very complicated, it took 30 minutes to put on the face makeup alone, and after all the makeup was done, it took about an hour and 15 minutes.
Shoot the poster first. Lester and Peter Cooper submitted his opinion and gathered the trio to shoot the makeup poster first.
In order to make the characters in the poster fit the scene, Lester specially asked the props team to bring out the model, so that the three actors could shoot from different angles under the fit of the model.
Lester looked at the poster photos of the three of them taken by the assistant director, and said to Peter Cooper: "I think I can get two makeup photos, one to highlight the role of Jack Nicholson as a clown, and one to make the picture of Batman enlarge to highlight the character of Batman." ”
Hearing Lester's words, Peter Cooper looked at the three people in the field, and frowned: "Why don't you just highlight Michael Keaton, you know, compared to fame, Mr. Jack Nicholson is more famous, and our focus should be on letting Michael Keaton know more people." ”
"Nope. Lester shook his head and said what he thought in his heart: "Michael Keaton must be promoted, but the Joker is the most brilliant character in "Batman". ”
Peter Cooper looked surprised, he understood that Lester wanted to release the makeup crew that highlighted Batman when everyone was enthusiastic about "Batman" at the end, and then he expected that fans would pay attention to Michael Keaton.
After all, Warner Bros. and Asuka Pictures jointly kept the filming secret, so everyone didn't know about the filming and makeup stills of several people.
The poster released a few days ago is just an ordinary makeup photo of the three of them, which did not satisfy DC fans, but I think Michael Keaton's handsomeness and Brooke's beauty are eye-catching.
An entertainment reporter even ridiculed in the newspaper: "The combination of Michael Keaton and Brooke Rose, is it that director Lestrore intends to make a romantic comedy." ”
Of the three, Brooke Shield's image of a jade girl is the most controversial, and Lester will put her makeup photos first.
After taking makeup photos of the trio, Lester began filming the scene where the Joker killed more than a dozen people in front of Batman.
"Let's go!"
As Lester's voice sounds, the actors take their positions, the camera flips the switch, and the footage is transmitted back to the monitor.
The Joker appeared in front of a group of people with a sinister and mental smile, killing a dozen people in front of Bruce Wayne during the day.
With a look of disbelief, Bruce Wayne looked at the clown who walked away.
During the day, he obviously didn't have time to change his clothes to save these people.
"CUT, pass. ”
Lester watched the performance of the two with satisfaction, and shouted to the crew and the two to end the scene.
After filming this segment, while it was still early, Lester continued to shoot Michael Keaton's daytime scenes before everyone rested.
Jack Nicholson's role as the Joker amazes Lester, and his neurotic and wicked performance makes them forget his real name and only know that he is now the Joker.
Leicester now feels that the high salary he paid to Jack Nicholson is totally worth it, and that he is worth the position.
As for Michael Keaton's performance, it was remarkable, and the performance was very good, showing Bruce Wayne's mental activities during the day.
But Lester looked at the comparison between the two on the monitor, and it was a pity that Michael Keaton's performance was completely suppressed by Jack Nicholson.
But when there is pressure, there is motivation, Michael Keaton also knows his shortcomings, his performance cannot be compared with Jack Nicholson, who won the Oscar, so as soon as the scene ended, he pondered how to play the role of Batman, so as not to be buried.
Seeing this, Lester got things right, and before filming began, Lester told him some things he knew about Batman's performance through chat, hoping to help Michael Keaton.
Michael Keaton sorted out what Lester said, and hurriedly asked, "When Batman at night is doing justice, how should he express himself." ”
"I'll show you. ”
Leicester got up, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked ahead with a serious face.
Seeing this, Michael basically understood what Lester meant.
Batman at night is the embodiment of justice, both serious and cool because of his suit.
In Lester's opinion, this was completely due to the interest of a certain comic book artist, and it was added to Batman's actions.
In the dressing room, a makeup artist helps Jack Nicholson remove his makeup.
At this moment, Jack Nicholson looked at himself in front of the mirror in a trance, deaf to the makeup artist who helped him remove his makeup.
Lester walked in and saw that Jack Nicholson's eyes were a little blank, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly walked over and asked with concern: "Mr. Jack Nicholson, what's wrong with you." ”
Lester's question made the blank-eyed Jack Nicholson come back to his senses and rub his forehead, "Mr. Lester, thank you, this is the sequelae of being too deep in the play." ”
