Although Sid didn't know the exact process, the next day, Ali (Emmanuel) excitedly called him, saying that Jessica Alba had become a new client of Endeavour Elite Agency. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's time for a movie when the actors are gathered!

"Then you should shoot from the top with a boom camera, and then shoot each character. Sid and Lance Arcord stood in the cafeteria at East High School in Salt Lake City, speaking into the stepped cafeteria.

Sid and his party arrived in Salt Lake City in mid-February, and Sid was very glad that the Eastern High School here was almost exactly the same as what he "remembered", although the shooting time was advanced by five or six years, but the buildings and facilities of the Eastern High School had hardly changed from a few years later.

This made it easy for Sid to design the shots with Lance Arcord, as all the shots were in his head. But this does not mean that Sid can simply copy and copy, after all, the original "Youth Musical" was just a TV movie broadcast on Disney Channel.

This is still very different from the real big-screen movie, although both are widescreens, but the big-screen movie has higher requirements for the set and the grasp of the camera.

Sid and a group of designers led by Lance Arcord were filming at Eastern High School, telling them about it while also improving the original film in their minds.

For example, the hero and heroine signed up for a scene in the school musical, the original film was too simple and rude, after the heroine signed up, the music teacher declared that two people needed to form a combination to sign up, and the protagonist Troy jumped out directly. There is no inner conflict drama of the protagonist at all.

Let the protagonist first give different close-ups of the male and female protagonists when asked by the music teacher to show their different inner dramas. The heroine's anxious mood and the hero's tangled mentality are similar but different.

There were many more scenes like this that needed to be revised, and it took Sid and Lance Arcod three days to go up and down the Eastern High School before they finally rehearsed all the scenes and shots.

Although it took a lot of time, but the sharpening of the knife is not wrong with the wood cutter, with this step as the foundation, the next formal shooting, the shooting team and the set, lighting, and sound will be more harmonious.

During this time, the others were not idle, and the actors, under the direction of Anne Fletcher, were already working on choreography and choreography training even before Sid's arrival. And the music supervised by Max Martin himself has already begun.

And other costumes, sets, etc., also used more than half a month of audition casting to produce the red and white Eastern High School uniforms, the basketball team uniforms of the protagonist's basketball team "Wildcats", the cheerleaders' costumes, and the school logo of Eastern High School, etc.

These complicated things are carried out at a rapid pace under the supervision of Henry, the producer.

On February 19th, "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" finally began official filming.

The first scene is a scene in which Troy, as the protagonist, returns to school after the school year is over after the New Year. Salt Lake City has just wrapped up last month's Sundance Film Festival, and the tail of winter is a little bit of an end.

Because of the requirements of the film, all the actors have to wear relatively thin clothes, although the costumes are still long-sleeved and long-trousers, but compared with the slightly cold weather, the actors are still quite hard, and the most "painful" of them is the cheerleaders who have to wear hot pants.

Without further ado, "The first scene, the first time, start!" Sid gave the order through the walkie-talkie, and the actors began to perform at the school gate.

This scene is mainly used to show the identity of the protagonist Troy, as a campus celebrity, and to reveal that the protagonist's basketball team "Wildcats" will usher in the most crucial finals in two weeks, which is an important goal of the film.

Matthew, a black boy who plays the male lead, dribbles and plays with the blonde cheerleaders next to him with a basketball, and then Chris Pine, who plays the main character, walks off the bright school bus, and the students who were originally playing separately stop to say hello to him.

Matthew ran up and put his hand on his shoulder to chat with Chris Pine.

"Cut!" had just started filming when Sid saw a fatal problem at a glance.

"What's wrong?" Chris (Pine) and Matthew immediately looked at each other nervously, could there be something wrong with the performance?

They're all playing starring roles for the first time, so they're actually very nervous.

With the news of Sid's selection for the Oscars, for these little-known young actors. Sid's directorial prestige made them all nervous.

Sid stepped out from behind the camera, turned around and shouted to the crew next to him, "Head of the costume department, come here!"

Then two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, immediately ran over, their expressions were also a little nervous, and Sid had already walked up to Chris Pine.

He pointed to Chris Pine's clothes, "Chris (Pine's) clothes are too dark and too dark! Look around, does Chris (Pine) look like the main character?"

It turned out that many of the extras standing in a circle wore red eastern high school uniforms, and even those who didn't wear them wore bright colors such as gray and khaki.

Chris Pine, on the other hand, wore a blue long-sleeved T-shirt with a dark green sweatshirt over it. It has completely become a dark spot in a sea of red and bright colors, and no matter how you look at it, it will not attract the audience's attention to him at first glance.

If you ask Sid what was the first thing he learned while working on the crew of "A Natural Pair"? It is director Nancy Meyers' grasp of color, in which Lindsay Jr. plays two roles.

In order to clearly distinguish the two heroines, Nancy Meyers not only made the two characters distinguish in the details in terms of hair length, nail color, and whether there are studs, but more importantly, the color of the clothes of the two characters!

Holly, who was born in California, has always worn a green sweatshirt, while Anne from the United Kingdom has worn a pure white T-shirt. It is easy to distinguish between two characters with only the subconscious mind without deliberately paying attention.

White!

Sid had a flash of inspiration and snapped his fingers: "Go find a white sweatshirt jacket for Chris (Pine)." ”

"White?" the head of the clothing department immediately understood what Sid meant, "the only, brightest white, is definitely the most obvious color." ”

And it also symbolizes the identity of Chris (Pine) as the protagonist of the white knight, which is just right. Sid nodded.

After changing clothes, Chris Pine appeared in front of the camera again, Sid couldn't help but nod, Chris Pine in a white jacket matched his sunny aura, and he could indeed make people have to notice him as soon as he appeared.

In the next shooting, although Sid also wanted to guide his acting skills and make the shooting innovative. But to be honest, "Youth Musical" is essentially an idol movie, and because it focuses more on singing and dancing, the requirements for actors' performances are not even as good as "Warm Corpse".

So even though Chris Pine and Jessica Alba are both first-time lead actors, their acting skills are good enough for most scenes, and even NG, most of the situations are hilarious situations such as forgetting lines, reading wrong lines, looking at the wrong position of the camera, and falling on the ground.

This made the filming progress of "Youth Musical" unusually fast, and for Sid, the speed of the actual shooting made him quite satisfied, so he didn't get angry when he was NG. This also made the atmosphere of the crew quite relaxed.

"So Shakespeare and Private Ryan are still the biggest winners?" asked Rachel McAdams curiously.

"I can't say the same, although "Life is Beautiful" didn't win a Golden Globe, it has 7 Oscar nominations, which is already the highest non-English film in history. Chris Pine said, spinning the spoon.

"But it is indeed surprising that Jim Carrey can beat Tom Hanks to win the Golden Globe Award. Jessica Alba exclaimed.

"I've seen 'Little Eyes' at the Oscars even more," Ryan Gosling said with a laugh.

"Cut~~, shoot the director's ass. Rachel McAdams, the "older sister," immediately laughed and complained.

"Well, who's slapping the sycophants?" Sid walked into the dining room, just in time to hear a few of the main actors chatting.

"Nothing, nothing. Ryan Gosling immediately waved his hand.

"We're talking about the Golden Globes. Chris Pine laughs.

"Oh, Jim Carrey won the Golden Globe Award. As soon as Sid sat down, his assistant Justin Lin brought him the meal.

"It's a pity for him, if he had filmed "Truman's World" a few years later, he would at least have been nominated for an Oscar. Sid said after taking a bite of the Mexican chicken wrap.

After 2000, the quality of films shortlisted for the Oscars has dropped significantly. If "Truman's World" is put together with "12 Years a Slave" and "Escape from Tehran", it will definitely beat these films that later won Olympic awards.

But in this era of the late 90s, when there were many good films, Jim Carrey's transformation could only be snuffed out by the Oscar old white male judges whose thinking was still maintained twenty years ago.

Unlike Tom Cruise's transformation that later failed, although Tom Cruise also made a "Murder with a Knife" that was ignored by the Oscars, but that was because Tom Cruise's performance was really bad.

But Jim Carrey is a pure unjust case.
