Chapter 334: Filming in Progress (Part I)

Zhang Fan left the Hilton Hotel at noon the next day. He was leaving with a noticeable weakness in his legs. The car couldn't drive, and someone specially called from the company to drive him back to the villa.

"What a goblin. This is Zhang Fan's evaluation of Paris. This woman is so powerful in some ways that she almost sucked Zhang Fan dry all night. And as if he was still eating the marrow, he invited Zhang Fan to have time to continue drinking coffee.

Zhang Fan didn't accept Paris indiscriminately, or really treated her as Kaizi. Zhang Fan really has a shooting plan that is very suitable for Paris, and he can also get shares of her fashion brand. In the future, Paris will share the money earned by Zhang Fan, which is a typical win-win situation.

Moreover, the script prepared by Zhang Fan is also very suitable for Paris, and it doesn't even require much acting skills. As long as you train for a while, you can do it.

The movie prepared by Zhang Fan is The Hunger Games!

The Hunger Games series of movies has received a mediocre response around the world, but it is legendary in North America. As for the reason, it is very simple, because the theme of this film is to promote feminism. The largest feminist voice in the world is in North America.

The film was enough to make Paris famous, at least within the confines of North America. It's been the biggest luck for her fashion brand to open its doors in North America first.

This is a woman's movie, and it is very appropriate to give it to a famous woman like Paris to play it. And this movie doesn't need any acting skills, Paris can do it.

Paris invested money, except for half of the box office income allocated to her, all the other income belonged to Zhang Fan. And Zhang Fan also got 30% of the shares of the Paris fashion brand, and this transaction was definitely earned.

Paris needs fame, and Zhang Fan needs profit. Collaboration is a natural thing.

After writing this incident into a notepad, Zhang Fan returned his attention to the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Before the official start of filming, Zhang Fan held a gathering of actors on a huge set to explain the roles to all the actors.

Zhang Fan looked at Orlando Bloom, who played the blacksmith Wiltner, and exclaimed, "Bloom, your role is very important." You can't play Wiltner the blacksmith as a positive hero anyway. If you do, then the show is over. Today's audience doesn't like the traditional heroes. ”

"Yes sir. Orlando Bloom nodded vigorously, "I'm a badass." ”

"Hahaha~~~" The scene suddenly resounded with laughter.

"You're a pirate, not a villain, and certainly not a hero. Zhang Fan explained aloud: "You must grasp the key point when playing this role. Because your childhood memories are a huge stimulus for you. You love the heroine, but you don't dare to confess to the governor's daughter because you are a humble blacksmith. The seventeenth century was not the present, when the hierarchy was very severe. And because your home was destroyed by pirates, you always remember that you want revenge for pirates. But you end up being a pirate, a pirate that Will hates! It can't be too blunt, and it can't be too blunt. ”

"Yes sir, I will try. Orlando Bloom nodded vigorously.

"It's not about trying, it's about doing it. Zhang Fan instructed in a deep voice. Pirates of the Caribbean is very important to him, and if he messes up the movie because of an actor, he will let him use his entire career to make amends!

"Knightley. Zhang Fan turned his gaze to the only heroine of the play, "You are an Englishman, and you are also the daughter of the governor." So to show the natural and calm, elegant and refined beauty of the pure British. Remember your name in the play, Swan, that's what it means to be a swan. So you have to be as graceful as a swan, even if you fall into the hands of pirates. ”

"Yes sir. Keira Knightley tightened her costume, "I'm an elegant aristocratic girl. ”

"Good. Zhang Fan nodded, and then swept his gaze over Jeffrey Rush, who played the first mate of the Black Pearl and later snatched the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow.

Jeffrey Rush is a veteran of Hollywood, and he has almost filmed a scene for a lifetime. The acting skills have reached the level of perfection. Definitely the kind of actor who plays what is what. Whether it is body movements, words, facial expressions or even eyes, it can perfectly interpret the character. For such an old actor, Zhang Fan just gave a few simple words. He also had nothing to guide him.

In the end, Zhang Fan fixed his eyes on Johnny Depp.

"Depp, the essence of this pirate of the Caribbean lies in you. Zhang Fan looked at the former heartthrob in front of him, "You are the soul of this play, the main line of this play." Everything actually revolves around you. The quality of your performance directly affects the end result of the whole movie!"

"It's a lot of pressure. Johnny Depp joked with a laugh.

"Pressure, in other words, is motivation. Zhang Fan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Your character is the center of the whole movie, and you are not a pirate in the traditional sense." Not the kind of pirate who is covered in dirt and specializes in bad things. Rather, a funny, witty, humorous and even somewhat neurotic pirate. ”

Zhang Fan turned to look at the many actors around him, and shouted loudly, "I hope everyone will remember that our movie is not a traditional pirate movie, but a new form of pirate movie." It could even be said to be a comedy! We want to make the audience laugh at it, not sick to their stomachs when they see countless bloody and cruel scenes!"

"If you want to impress an audience, there is nothing more suitable than comedy. Zhang Fan took a deep breath "In this movie, I won't even let the plasma appear in front of the camera. The special effects, the acting, and the witty and humorous lines are the core of this movie. We want to make it fun for the audience. ”

"Yes, sir. A group of actors echoed Zhang Fan's words. This is the set, and Zhang Fan is naturally the biggest as a director. He said that the actors were going to do something. Not to mention his status as an investor. No actor would mess with him in front of him. That's a joke on your career.

"Very good, now we officially start filming!" Zhang Fan waved his hand, and the Pirates of the Caribbean movie officially started shooting.

Several cameras are placed in different corners, surrounded by reflectors and lights that illuminate a dining table in the center.

Jeffrey Rush sits down to dinner at the table with Keira Knightley, dressed in a fussy pirate outfit.

Keira Knightley was desperately eating, while Jeffrey Rush sat and watched her eat with a look of envy and jealousy. It's really the feeling of performing the eyes, and it deserves to be an old actor. The performance is very exciting, even the eyes are very expressive.

And Keira Knightley also performed well, although there was still panic in her eyes, but under the stimulation of hunger, she was doing her best to deal with the chicken leg in front of her. In fact, this scene had been filmed several times, and Keira Knightley had already eaten several cold chicken thighs by this time. If she wasn't an actress and wasn't filming now, this is something that no woman would do.

Zhang Fan sat on a chair and stared at the monitor in front of him, frowning slightly and watching the performance of the two seriously.

Jeffrey Rush licked the corners of his lips and watched Keira Knightley eat chicken legs, then suddenly picked up an apple on the table and handed it over, "Here you are the apple." ”

Keira Knightley hesitated, "Toxic?"

"Of course not. Miss Turner, no one on this ship wants you dead right now. Jeffrey Rush laughed, his big yellow teeth after makeup were so conspicuous in front of the camera.

"Then please let me go. The gold has been given to you, and I am of no use for it. Keira Knightley pleaded.

"You don't understand. "Jeffrey Rush plays with the cursed gold coin with his fingers" This gold coin has a special charm, you don't know what it represents. ”

"I don't want to know. Caranetley's expression became agitated at this point, trying to convince Jeffrey Rush to let her go.

The whole set is very large, and the crew members are hundreds. But at this time, there was silence in this huge set. All eyes were on the two actors in front of the camera. Several cameras kept recording their performances. Before Zhang Fan didn't shout to stop, no one dared to make a mistake.

This is a long-lens shooting, a leapfrog shot in the same scene. Not only the actors, but the entire crew felt a strong pressure under this kind of long-shot shooting. Because the slightest mistake is very likely to ruin the entire shot.

"Stop!" Zhang Fan finally shouted to stop when Jeffrey Rush burst out laughing.

Everyone stopped, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Fan. They didn't even make a move, they just looked at Zhang Fan like this, waiting for his final decision.

Zhang Fan, who bent down to look at the monitor up close, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's over." ”

"Huh~~~" was almost an instantaneous effort, and almost everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Every long shot is tedious, and starting over is not good news for anyone.

When Zhang Fan shouted to stop, the huge set that was originally silent came to life in an instant. Countless staff members have come out from various places to go about their business. It seems that the set is filled in a split second.

In order to ensure the success of this movie, Zhang Fan has made heavy bets in all aspects. The entire crew has more than three hundred people!

In Zhang Fan's words, even if you use money to smash it, you have to smash out a super blockbuster that sweeps the world!
