Chapter 7 Making a movie is not so simple

In the past few days, these war scenes are basically group scenes, or the shots are all following the protagonist of the movie, Hanks, basically nothing happened to Li Fulong, and everyone is a professional actor, and the rehearsal has been going so long that the filming has gone smoothly.

After the filming of the big war scene was almost finished, Spielberg began to arrange several sets of scenes for those small scenes.

There were shivering soldiers hiding behind iron frames made of triangles.

There were soldiers who were looking for a doctor with a broken arm after the explosion, and their intestines flowed all over the ground wailing the wounded.

There are also GIs who were shot just after they were lucky enough to escape the deadly killing machine......

Of course, these few simple scenes definitely don't need to be filmed by Spielberg himself.

Of course, there is finally a close-up scene of Li Fulong alone, a cool sniper scene.

"Eddie, you just need to show your coolest side for a while, just follow the performance written in the previous script, ok?

Adam, the assistant director on the set, also specially told Li Fulong again, and when he saw that he understood, he nodded and went to beckon the other staff to take their own responsibilities.

What is it when filming a group scene, anyway, when filming alone, Li Fulong suddenly felt very nervous.

"Hoo ......"

Li Fulong took a deep breath, spit out slowly, and looked at the camera with a red light next to him, as well as the staff who took the camera, lighting, and radio next to him and carefully checked the machine.

"Guys, it's time to work, all departments are ready to ......"

With the reminder of the assistant director, many staff members quickly debugged the machine and entered the working state.

The originally lazy scene instantly became serious, and the eyes of all the staff were all looking towards Li Fulong.

Although there were still gunshots at the scene, Li Fulong was nervous and could still hear his heartbeat.

"Damn it!"

The sound of Dong Dong's heartbeat made Li Fulong's head suddenly have a layer of fine beads of sweat.

The first time the spotlight was directed at him, and the red light of the camera was also directed towards him, there was no more excitement in the thought, more nervousness.

Although the cold air was blowing on the beach, he was still sweating nervously, and the cold air seemed to be unable to stop the nervous feeling that kept coming.

It's like going to an interview for a job, and the next second the other person will decide your fate.

Honestly, it feels terrible!

"All ready, ACTION!"

With a sound of preparation, Li Fulong's whole body stiffened, and Li Fulong's mind went blank at this moment.

Although Li Fulong is facing the camera sideways, he swears that he can hear the sound of the camera turning clearly!

"Smack-" The sound of the set of the board starting, also reminded Li Fulong that his role had officially begun.

But Li Fulong could only feel the pressure of the camera getting closer and closer and the tension of his own heartbeat, which made his whole body become a little stiff. He could only use his hands to support the cold sniper rifle, which seemed to give him some confidence.

“……”

"Cards!"

The assistant director said politely: "Eddie, don't be nervous, do it again,"

"Restart ......"

Li Fulong let out a breath and readjusted his state. He raised his hand apologetically, signaling that he could start again.

“……”

"Cards!"

The assistant director couldn't help but shout at Li Fulong, who was standing there at a loss: "Eddie, what are you doing? Damn, it's not your first time filming! Are you working as a model? This is not New York!"

"Restart ......"

“……”

"Cards!"

"Are you an idiot? I want coldness, not zombies!"

Looking at Li Fulong, who was stiff all over, the assistant director finally couldn't help yelling at him, "Are you dancing a mechanical dance?"

Start all over again.

"Cards. ”

"Hey, God, you're an elm head. Can you be more natural, not so rigid? Do you think you're taking a photo?"

Looking at Li Fulong's uncoordinated movements, he didn't even say his lines, and the director's assistant greeted God directly.

Fourth.

"Cards. ”

"Fuck it, bastard, you shouldn't be acting at all, you should go to the streets of the Walk of Fame to beg, you don't look good!"

Fifth.

"Cards. ”

In a few consecutive articles, Li Fulong failed to satisfy the assistant director, from the encouragement at the beginning to the scolding at the end.

It's not that the movements are unnatural, or the expression is not in place, or the nervous sweat goes down, which is simply inferior.

This made Li Fulong himself want to cover his face, and at the same time, he was becoming less and less confident in himself.

Many times, many actors have self-doubted themselves and ruined their careers as actors.

An actor needs to have a strong heart. De Niro once said so. But obviously, Li Fulong does not have this kind of big heart for the time being.

At this time, Hanks, who had just finished his role, also found that Li Fulong's situation was wrong, his face was low and gloomy, he couldn't help frowning, hesitated, and walked to Li Fulong's side.

"Hey man, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Tom. When I saw the camera, I was nervous, and I thought maybe I ...... I don't know how?" Li Fulong squeezed out a wry smile, he was so mixed up when he was filming a group scene, how could he not do his one-man show, depressed, in fact, this is Li Fulong's first official acting.

Apparently, screwed up yourself. Perhaps, as Adam said, he is not acting material.

An actor's dream is a dream after all.

"Damn!" Looking at Li Fulong in front of him, who looked willing to degenerate, Hanks looked at Li Fulong coldly.

"You know, you look like you, I want to punch you in the face. ”

Hanks gestured with his hand to make a crying nose gesture, "You seem to be a soft guy who only cries his nose, or a nerd who was bullied in college, it's so fucking disgusting!"

Many staff members saw the situation here and pointed their fingers.

"Damn it, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I also want to tell you, this is not like yourself, I remember that you are very confident, you are a very talented actor, and you are definitely not the kind of eggless guy you are now!"

“……”

Li Fulong looked at the excited Hanks and was silent.

"I know, you must be very suspicious of yourself now, but I just want to tell you that difficulty is a, and the more you escape, the more she will taunt you in your ear all the time, telling you that running away is a failure!"

Seeing that Li Fulong was just silent and didn't react, Hanks took a breath and stared at Li Fulong seriously.

"Listen to me, man. Acting is not about deliberately performing, but about thinking about yourself as a character in the play. For example, the character of Jackson is a sharpshooter with strong blood, a very cold warrior, no matter what he talks or fights, he is cool, and it is very suitable for your true performance. If you don't think about your role, you'll never be a real actor. ”

Now Li Fulong is more humane than before, especially getting along these days, which makes Hanks feel good, and Hanks is willing to say so much to the man in front of him.

Maybe it was a certain trait in Li Fulong that attracted him, or maybe it was simply because of this that Li Fulong was pleasing to the eye.

He knew that Li Fulong had changed a lot after he was released from prison, he was usually very modest and asked for advice, and secretly studied his own performance, he also listened to Spielberg's description of Li Fulong's growth, and even, when he rested at night, he could see Li Fulong still figuring out the script with the script.

For this kind of prodigal son who "turns back to the shore", Hanks is very encouraging.

At the very least, in Li Fulong, he saw the characteristic that successful people usually have - paranoia.

"I ......"

Li Fulong listened to Hanks's words, he was lucky to be able to meet such a mentor on the road of acting when he was just having this kind of self-doubt.

Many actors will encounter this state similar to the "rookie wall". It may be after a few plays, or it may appear just after the show starts.

This state is also a threshold for moving from passers-by to actors.

Everyone is different. So many times it will make the actor have self-doubt. Until the crash.

Li Fulong was very unlucky, in the first big-budget movie, he encountered this state again.

But he was also lucky to have someone like Hanks to give him guidance when he was close to collapse.

At the right time, he met the right person, and Li Fulong also clarified his psychological state.

A lot of times, people are just that weird. I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

But when there is someone who can give you a slap in the face at this time, you may be able to get rid of your self-entanglement in an instant.

Under the guidance of Hanks, Li Fulong slowly returned to his original state.

As Hanks said, he pushed himself too hard and made himself the protagonist. I didn't recognize my place at all. So no matter how he acts, he will feel awkward.

I'm not the main character!

Li Fulong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something in his mind.

seems to pay too much attention to shaping the character, but forgets that he is a small supporting role in the play. That's why I thought too much and was too nervous when shooting.

"Xie Te......" Li Fulong looked at himself as if everyone around him was looking at him, and he couldn't wait to scold himself loudly.

Nima, this is obviously a pattern mistake!

In the final analysis, I still take myself too seriously and want to play this role too much.

The phrase "I'm an actor" is a virus, and it hurts people too much!

Li Fulong rubbed his face, crying and laughing.

When the filming of this scene was reorganized again, Li Fulong obviously recovered his state.

Li Fulong picked up the sniper rifle and kissed the cross on his chest, the expression on his cold face condensed.

"God, don't stay away from me!"

"You are my strength, please help me!"

"Bang!" after a gunshot rang out, the scene passed once. made the assistant director cry and laugh, and thought that Li Fulong was playing!

After the filming of these close-up scenes, this most important landing scene is completed, at least a fifth of the whole movie is completed, and Spielberg is very satisfied with the performances of the actors, although Li Fulong has just had a little trouble.

Hanks is in charge of acting, portraying an officer's fear, wartime hesitation, and final courage and responsibility in an extremely believable way, Li Fulong is in charge of playing handsome, very cool sniper, very suitable for his true colors, and the main cast members also do their jobs well.
