"Robert, how's the preparation?" Sid made his way to the makeup area after finishing the scene preparations, where the busy makeup artists were putting the finishing touches on the upcoming actors.

Robert De Niro, one of the main actors of this scene and one of the leading actors, and several young actors are here.

"Oh, Sid. Old man Robert De Niro greeted with a smile, "I'm impatient." The old man said with a smile.

As a gangster film that has not been filmed for a long time, Old Man Robert also began to prepare for his role as early as after he got the script, and with the skills of the old man, the role of gangster Frank is naturally handy.

"What about all of you, how's the preparation?" Sid smiled and turned to look at the young actors.

Today, except for the old man, none of the other actors who play the young version of "undercover" are young actors.

"It's, it's okay. James Frank, the "little green goblin" who just collaborated with Sid on "Spider-Man", said a little nervously.

"Hehe, take it easy, James. Sid smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then he looked at Chris Pine, who had come to play the young Tom Cruise character "Colin".

"I'm confident. Chris Pine doesn't talk much, but he is very positive.

As the first actor in today's "Youth Musical" and the first middle-aged young actor, Chris Pine would rather play a soy sauce role with only a few minutes of scenes in this film.

This is not only due to Sid's appeal, but also because of the extravagant and luxurious cast of "The Departed".

After the Fire Lion officially announced the cast of "The Departed" to the outside world, Hollywood and North American media immediately gave Sid the title of "The New Godfather" for the new film in preparation.

After all, Robert De Nirogaal Pacino's starring lineup is too provoking the nerves of people in North America and even the world.

The last movie they collaborated on was the heroic "The Line of Fire", and the last one was the immortal "The Godfather 2".

As for the other two young leading actors, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, they are just the members of the 20 million club who have entered the house.

Whether it is the fact that Tom Cruise has become the first person in Hollywood today with the "Mission Impossible" series.

or Will Smith's irreplaceable role in "Independence Day", "Men in Black", and after being nominated for the Oscar for "Boxer Ali" this year, his status among black men is second only to Denzel Washington.

All of them made the people who eat melons in North America show great interest in this film.

The "Godfather" series, as an outstanding series of movies in film history, is an indelible classic in the hearts of many people.

Therefore, many people not only disagree with the actions of Sid's "next "The Godfather" hyped by the media, but even some viewers showed extreme dissatisfaction with it.

But for this kind of "non-mainstream" accusation, under the east wind of "Harry Potter" breaking a billion dollars at the box office, it is destined to be a niche argument.

But the managers of Sid and the Fire Lion know that if the filming of "The Departed" is a little bad at that time, they are afraid that these media who are singing praises today will immediately turn their faces and deny people.

So although Sid flew in New York and Los Angeles before, he never fell behind in the preparation of "The Departed".

Even at the busiest time of the acquisition of IMG, Sid would take a regular time every week to communicate with Justin Lin and other officials and staff in Canada.

At the same time, after completing the relevant matters of IMG, Sid flew to Toronto as soon as possible, and Robert De Niro and other actors also arrived according to the schedule.

"First, first, Action!"

With the sound of the drama slap, the scene immediately entered the shooting state, and Lance Arcord, who was crouching behind the camera, and Sid, who was sitting in the director's studio, looked at the actors through the camera intently.

"Ding-ding--" The priest, dressed in ornate robes and wielding a copper chimney in his hand, led the clergy towards the altar.

Standing on the altar, the gangsters in black suits lined up with solemn faces.

At that time, this scene will also be set off by solemn background music to contrast the sense of absurdity and contrast of the gangsters going undercover to the police station.

In terms of music, Sid has already invited the god Hans Zimmer to play the role.

After taking a few shots of the priest and the clergy from multiple angles, the priest's assistant walked up to "Frank" with holy water, and the old man Robert De Niro, who was not angry and arrogant, had completely turned into a gangster.

"Today, I am here to baptize you in the hope that "Old man Robert De Niro stretched out his hand to dip the holy water from the holy relic and put it on the forehead of every young gangster undercover agent, and said with a slight upturn in the corners of his mouth: "Five years ago, in San Francisco, my brothers and I were ambitious, who knew that it had been opened for less than half a month, and it was swept by people an average of 3 times a day. ”

"In one year, seven brothers died. ”

I have to say that the old man Robert De Niro is really the god of acting who is the best at playing the blackboard boss, he almost doesn't need any superfluous movements and expressions, and in the seemingly ordinary dialogue with the young people, his aura of not being angry and arrogant is fully revealed, and his domineering side leaks.

"You have followed me for the shortest time, and you have the cleanest criminal record. It's up to you to decide how to go on your own path. ”

"Alright," said Robert De Niro, who counted the last person, put away his hand, and glanced at everyone with tigerish eyes, and said, "I wish you all the best in the police department!"

The short and powerful lines directly state the biggest purpose of "Frank" in the film, and also set the tone for the fierce and brutal confrontation between police and bandits in this film.

"OK, Cut!" Sid shouted with a bullhorn.

"How, how?" After filming, the habit of watching the excitement is not only on the other side of the ocean, as the first scene and the first shot of this film, whether it is a few young rising stars or the old actor Robert and the old man, they are very concerned about the effect of the shooting.

After replaying it, everyone quickly saw the problem, and the veteran Robert De Niro naturally lifted his weight with ease.

But the performance of a few "little fresh meats" is somewhat dwarfed, both in demeanor and expression, which are a little nervous and stiff.
