After more than a year of preparation, "The Biography of Chaplin" gathered a complete range of actors, producers, and crew to start filming in British theaters.

"Mr. Richard Attenborough, thank you for running the crew of Chaplin. Before they could enter the dressing room, Lester and Mrs. Geraldine met Richard Attenborough, whom he had invited to be the producer.

As one of Chaplin's fans, Richard Attenborough loves to watch Chaplin's movies very much, and received an invitation from the producer of Leicester Road, so that he did not expect that someone would be able to write Chaplin's films, and after learning that Chaplin's daughter Mrs. Geraldine would also star, he immediately accepted Lester's invitation.

For more than a year, the actors auditioned, rehearsed, and chose a place to shoot, and Lester basically didn't care, and it was all carried out by Richard Attenborough.

"Mrs. Geraldine, Mr. Lester. Richard Attenborough greeted the two warmly, especially with respect for Mrs. Geraldine, and even more so when he talked to Mrs. Geraldine about his father.

"Click"

The makeup door was opened, allowing the three of them to stop chatting and look at Robert Downey Jr., who came out.

Geraldine Chaplin looked at Donnie who walked in front of them with a slightly stunned look, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he muttered, "Father." ”

Little Robert was dressed in a tuxedo, a black hat, and a beard on his chin, and through the dexterous hands of the makeup artist, he changed his appearance and became a Charlie Chaplin.

"How. Robert Downey Jr. deliberately turned a circle in front of the three of them, looked upward, and asked with one hand on his cane;

"It's so similar. Richard Attenborough brought Mrs. Geraldine back to her senses with an exclamatory voice.

"Very good. Lester looked at Donnie's performance, admired, turned his head, and saw tears in his eyes, Geraldine Chaplin, who had already returned to his senses, knew in his heart, and said comfortingly: "Mrs. Geraldine, are you okay, do you want to rest." ”

"No, I don't. Geraldine waved his hand, rejected Lester's words, calmed down, looked at Robert Downey Jr., and said to Lester in a tone: "The actor you are looking for looks too similar in this homeless costume." ”

"Downey is the best person to play Charlie Chaplin. Lester said;

Lester led Robert Downey Jr. and the others into a bedroom, where the gaffer and Lance Cord were ready to shoot.

In order to shoot this "Chaplin Biography", Lester didn't let Lance Cod shoot according to his wishes, and needed him to shoot the old times.

Lance Cod, who is good at multi-faceted shooting, quickly figured out how to shoot under your explanation in Leicester.

Sitting on the monitor, Lester looked at the black and white image of the screen and shouted to everyone, "Let's shoot!"

Shooting!

The dark room was opened, and Charlie Chaplin stepped out of the frame with his hands lined with a bent cane, walked in, closed the door, and sat down in front of the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Charlie Chaplin put down his black hat where it could be transformed, put down his cane, took off his clothes and shoes, and began to remove his makeup.

The whole time, Lance Cod held the camera and turned it to Robert Downey Jr.

"Turn on the lights!"

When Robert Downey Jr. picked up a towel and wiped his face, Lester gestured to the gaffer.

In the footage.

Charlie Chaplin looked in the mirror, rubbing the back of his head irritably as he remembered what others had told him.

The action is neither pompous nor violent.

On the monitor, Attenborough exchanged opinions with Lester, and when Robert Downey Jr. rubbed the back of his head, Lester felt that it was okay and shouted directly: "Cut, pass." ”

"How did I act. Robert Downey Jr. leaned over and asked;

"I can't see it yet, I'm going to see your next performance. Lester replied, looked at the makeup artist next to him, and said, "Take Donnie and Mrs. Geraldine to do the makeup." ”

Robert Downey Jr. raised an eyebrow, and Mrs. Geraldine went down with the makeup artist to put on makeup.

Lester took the crew to the theater, where Geraldine and Robert Jr. performed, and the first to start was Geraldine Chaplin, who was to play a mother Charlie Chaplin who lost her throat at the beginning and went insane later.

In the early audience, a group of performers sat in their seats in preparation for the start of filming, and Richard Attenborough instructed them on how to behave in the future.

"Little brother, you will know how to sing when you come to the stage!" Behind the scenes, Lester brought a cute child to the play.

After listening to this, Bai Jing's little boy nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandpa Attenborough taught me how to sing." ”

"Then come on!" Lester couldn't help but kiss him and encouraged, looking at the little boy's confidence;

"Let's shoot!"

Mrs. Geraldine put on her makeup and stood on the stage, and Lester called to start.

In the footage!

There was a chorus of accompaniment, and Hannah Hill, played by Geraldin, was singing and dancing, and the singing suddenly stopped halfway through, causing the audience to throw things at her in a noisy manner: "Hurry up and give me down." ”

The audience clamored for a refund, making Hannah Hill anxiously want to make a sound, Hannah Hill, who was already in a problem, couldn't sing in a hurry, but found that when the audience smashed something at him, he became at a loss, even if little Charles cheered her up, he couldn't sing.

"Come down, you're fired. The old troupe hurriedly called Hannah Hill down, and passed by the indifferent voice beside her;

When he came to the stage, the troupe owner comforted the audience, and Charlie Jr. trotted up to the stage, pulled the theater owner's clothes and said, "Sir, let me try." ”

"Get the hell out of this cruel stage. The owner of the troupe was a little impatient.

Little Charlie continued unashamedly: "Please, sir, I will perform this song. ”

In order to save the stage for his mother's failed performance, little Charlie pleads with the theater owner.

"Let him sing!" the audience said in a noisy voice;

The owner of the troupe could only reluctantly let little Charlie perform, asked his name, and said to the audience while picking up things on the ground: "Just to make you happy, we are happy to present you with Charles Chaplin's performance." ”

As the musicians played the music, little Charlie sang the song in its entirety, winning the applause of the audience, and still playing the copperplate.

Hannah Hill listened to the applause in her ears, stood behind the scenes and watched little Charlie save her performance, and suddenly thought of something, her eyes were hazy with tears.

Strong and withheld tears, conveyed to Lester and Richard Attenborough through surveillance footage, shocked Geraldine's performance.

"Cut, pass. Lester clapped his hands and shouted, "It's time for you to get ready," he said to Robert Jr., who was already putting on his makeup and watching Geraldin's performance. ”
