Chapter 51: Catch up with the shooting

The first film settled in Paramount Pictures, and according to Jerry Towne's suggestion, the film is scheduled to be released in August, and the specific date will not be determined until the distribution department has conducted a detailed investigation.

At the end of the day, Jerry drove to the Lumberton Yard to see his mother, Lady Sally.

Monica and Mira live with her, prompting Jerry to come over every once in a while, in the name of "visiting his mother", but in fact, ...... Young people are overly energetic.

The first starring work is about to be released, and a big stone that weighs on Jerry's heart finally falls to the ground, and the joy needs to be shared, so he finds Mila and Monica with great interest and carnivalesque.

Two days later, Jerry returned to the "Los Angeles" crew to continue filming.

Hollywood makes movies with great emphasis on efficiency, the preparation work before the start of filming is very sufficient, and the shooting speed after the start of shooting is also quite fast, which is completely assembly line operation, and the efficiency is very high.

Director Curtis Hansen filmed very quickly, completely according to the shooting schedule, completed one-third of the shooting task in one month after the start of filming, and entered June, the scene has reached the middle stage, the entire crew is running efficiently, and the shooting plan is constantly advancing.

During the vicious murder at a night owl coffee shop, Ed shoots three black suspects with a shotgun.

In this scene, Jerry realistically portrays Ed's confused and sluggish psychological changes after killing, which is the first time that Ed has shot and killed people in his six years as a police officer.

Although it was later confirmed that the three blacks were not the real murderers, Ed was manslaughtered.

But on the shooting scene, Jerry played Ed's expression and demeanor after killing him extremely expressively, as if he was Ed, this is not a performance, but a real scene reproduction.

In fact, Jerry actually experienced a fierce shootout not long ago, and killed a tough murderer with his own hands, and he vomited faintly when he was splashed with blood, and he still remembers it vividly.

Because of this, he plays Ed as Ed when he performs this scene with ease, perfectly presenting the real scene before and after the killing.

The actors and crew who watched this scene admired Jerry's acting skills, it was amazing, and he acted so well!

When Director Kassel announced the passage, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and many people's hands were red.

Especially the women in the crew, applauding and working hard, looking at Jerry's eyes were extremely hot, and more than a dozen extras who boasted of good looks and hot bodies rushed up, surrounded Jerry, and gnawed wildly.

By the time Jerry squeezed out of the choppy crowd with all his might, the props and costumes on his body had been torn apart, his shirt was torn apart, his strong chest muscles were densely covered with scratches, his belt was violently lifted, and the vital parts were attacked many times, but fortunately, his pants were still not lost.

Far away from this group of crazy women, Jerry is already in rags, no different from Hanako.

Standing behind producer Brian Hellgrande, looking at the women who were still scrambling and scuffling, Jerry still had lingering palpitations, it was so savage, and women were so crazy!

Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, Jerry let out a long sigh and slowly calmed himself down, he still had a scene to shoot after the change of scenes.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Helgrande smiled and quipped: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be too handsome, but now I have a balance in my heart." In fact, they have coveted you for a long time, and you may not have noticed that every night as long as there is a scene with you, they are very punctual, come early, and have dozens of pairs of eyes staring at you all night. ”

Jerry smiled bitterly when he heard this, and spread his hands helplessly, leaving nothing to say.

Hellgrande patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, it's a good thing, I can't even look forward to it." Looking at this scene in front of you, I'm sure you're going to be a hit, and it's out of control, and it won't be long before you're a Hollywood A-lister. ”

Jerry shrugged, "I hope so...... Thank you, Hayle Grande. ”

After the transition, filming continues.

After the sudden frolic passed, the relationship between the members of the second shooting team became more harmonious and the cooperation was more tacit, which made the shooting work gradually better and more efficient.

…………

In mid-June, Jerry Bruckheimer, a producer at Touchstone Films, suddenly came to visit the crew.

That afternoon, he took Jerry Down from the crew and flew to Las Vegas on a Los Angeles flight.

As early as two days ago, Jerry received a call from director Simon West, saying that the crew learned that the legendary hotel - Sands Casino was about to be demolished, as a Las Vegas landmark, there was a very important explosion scene in "Earthbreaking" to be filmed at the Sands Hotel, so the main creative staff of the crew urgently assembled to shoot the finale of the plane hitting the Sands Hotel.

Jerry, as the second male lead in the new film, had three shots that needed to be filmed in the background of the Golden Sands Hotel, so Director West temporarily informed him to familiarize himself with the script in advance.

The official start of filming of "Earthbreaking", also known as "Prison in the Sky", is scheduled for July, and Jerry's scene will not start filming until late July.

Unexpectedly, only two days after receiving the notice, Bruckheimer rushed over in person, and after greeting Director Curtis, he rushed to the Sands Hotel with Jerry.

Before he got out of the car, Jerry saw a huge set up outside the casino, which was being filmed in an enclosed manner, and the entrance was full of police cars and fire trucks, as well as several ambulances that served as emergency services.

Good guys, it's a spectacular scene!

Compared with the wealthy crew of "Earth-shattering", the crew of "Los Angeles" is simply shabby, with a difference of 108,000 miles.

Bruckheimer walked him into the set and met Director West.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, West actually wore a beard, and the unshaven Jerry almost didn't recognize him.

But it's quite stylish, so people can know at a glance that he is engaged in art, and he is full of literature and art.

It's just a proper literary youth, what's the matter with you wearing a cowboy hat with a top horn on your head?

"Come on, hurry up and change your clothes and makeup, and start shooting the appearance of you coming down from the helicopter in half an hour, the shooting time is limited, and the demolition will start in three days. As he spoke, West patted Jerry on the shoulder, "Take out your acting skills, perform well, and try to get through it all over again." After saying that, he left, leaving Jerry speechless for a while.

In the dressing room, he wore loose gray trousers, the trouser legs were too wide, one step and three times, and the upper body was a white shirt, which was of good quality, but the size was too small, and he wore it tightly on Jerry's body.

At this point, Jerry couldn't help but ask: "Is there a pair of large trousers with good elasticity?" Any color, the key is to have good quality, otherwise it will be easy to split when the action is large. ”

Costume designer Red was right in front of him, and as soon as Jerry came in, he was stunned, staring at Jerry with his eyes like wooden stakes.

It wasn't until he heard Jerry's question that Red woke up suddenly, and walked around Jerry three times, carefully examining his body shape as if he were admiring a work of art.

Look at this granite-like pectoral muscles, four pairs of hard matching abdominal muscles, slender arms, and two long legs of more than 1.2 meters, Jerry, it's a shame that you don't go to be a model!"

Jerry got goosebumps all over his body when he saw him, and was about to get angry, but Unexpectedly, Red shook his head again and said to himself: "It's a pity to be a model, it's better to be a movie star, the height of six feet and three inches is quite perfect, the face shape is flawless, and the facial features are as delicate as the masterpiece of a master sculptor, so handsome!"

Looking up at Jerry, Red asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Jerry, did producer Bruckheimer tell you that you are more handsome than Cruise?"

"What?" Jerry was confused by his inexplicable barrage of words.

"Tom Cruise, one of the four kings of Hollywood written by an entertainment reporter?" Red clenched his little fist nervously and exclaimed, "OMG, did you just come from an alien world?"

Jerry was a little irritated by him, feeling that he was insane, so he pulled his baggy trousers, "Don't tell me these useless things, let's get down to business, see if this dress can be worn?"

β€œSorry。 Red smiled embarrassedly and twisted his waist as he walked inside, saying, "I heard that the actor who plays Vince Laj is John Cusack, you know Jerry, Cusack is as thin as a telephone pole, so these costumes are customized according to his body type.

Later, Bruckheimer informed me of the change, but I hadn't seen you in person, and I didn't have your contact information, so I had to prepare the costume based on the photo information. The data shows that you are about the same size as Cusack, so ...... Now that I've seen a real person, I know that you are the legendary male god who is dressed thin and stripped flesh......"

Red was like a machine gun, babbling endlessly, but his hands were not slow.

Just as Jerry was about to go berserk, he carried two well-wrapped suits and dusted off the bags.

"Come on, Jerry, try these two outfits, which I designed and sewed myself, and if you wear the right fit, I'll give it to you when the movie is done. ”

Jerry was patient, picked up one of the light brown formal suits, and found that the workmanship was really fine, with five amber dotted buttons on each cuff, only a right pocket on the front, two hidden buttons on the inside, and an amber button on the outside, which served as an ornament.

The overall feeling is mature and stable, and there is no lack of elegance, and the temperament is introverted and outstanding, which embodies the designer's simple but not simple design concept.

Jerry fell in love with this outfit at a glance, because he was going to pretend to be old, and wearing this outfit naturally achieved the visual effects required by the director.

The other suit is a light blue suit, which is exactly the same design style as Jerry's one, and is a size 190 king suit.

So Jerry didn't delay any longer, and immediately changed into light brown trousers, after wearing them, he was quite satisfied, they fit too well, these trousers were sewn in the style of jeans, close and elastic, and felt very comfortable after wearing.

Coats and shirts don't need to be changed, the characters in the mirror are quite photogenic, and the script also requires no coats.

"Excellent costume, I love it, thank you Red. ”

Although the costume designer Rhett loves to nag and behaves in a way that makes people feel strange, the clothes he designs are really good.

Red pulled his collar, raised his head proudly, and said with his fingers crossed: "It's good if you like it, if the director is also satisfied, then I will customize a few more sets for you, and I will definitely do what I promised." ”

Jerry nodded in acknowledgment and sat down in front of the makeup mirror, the makeup artist had been waiting for him for a long time.
