Chapter 153: A Miracle Happens Here [Two in One]
"It's going to surprise everyone, but you can't say that I made you sing it, or your fans will kill me!"
Natalie Portman: "Don't worry, I'm not going to say it, but I'm curious to see how dirty the lyrics are. ”
"You'll see it when it's done, and I need to think about the lyrics, and then you're going to be amazed, and I think my image is going to be ruined by this song. ”
"Please, you're a man, it's normal for a man to explode in my opinion, f...... uckme、suckmydick-dick……
I can also say these foul words easily, so you don't have to worry about your image being ruined, I'll give you the bottom. ”
Natalie Portman said with a smile, turning and walking away.
Chen Tian put on headphones and sat in front of the monitor, and the footage of "This Man is from Earth" is simple and requires strong continuity.
In this way, when editing at the end of the day, there is no need to edit like previous films, but to avoid too much editing throughout the process as much as possible.
This will save a lot of money for the filming of the film, but this premise is based on the good performance of the actors.
Christoph Waltz walked out, dressed in a casual suit with his makeup.
He looks only about 35 years old, which is not at all like a person who is almost 50 years old.
"Christopher, you're so handsome, you should thank Nance for making you fifteen years younger. Chen Tian gave Waltz a thumbs up.
"It's not my credit that Christopher looks there, but I don't think the need to hide his age will make him more attractive. Ms. Nance on the other side said with a smile.
“OK。 Filming is about to begin!"
With Chen Tian's sound of zero. The entire crew was fully focused. Scene reporter Kate Green walked to the camera with a clapperboard.
"Act 1, Act 1, Scene 1, start now, action!"
As the clapperboard closed, Christopher Waltz immediately took a deep breath and opened his eyes, the most important opportunity of his life: "Christopher, you can do it!"
Looking at Walz on the monitor, Walz is doing well.
The shooting went smoothly and there was no need for a single NG. The filming of the outside scene at the beginning of the film was completed.
"That's the end of the shoot, so fast?"
The reporters from a distance looked at the crew walking towards the house, and they were very surprised.
"It seems to be done, does he really want to finish shooting in one day?"
"If it were, all directors would go crazy. ”
"He's driven a lot of directors crazy three times, maybe this time. ”
"I only care about his streaking, even if he shoots well in an hour, it's not a problem. ”
The reporters looked at the room and wished they could get inside to shoot, but unfortunately they could only watch from afar.
Chen Tian didn't expect the filming to go so fast, even though Chen Tian joked with Natalie Portman that the shoot would be completed in one day before the shooting.
But he himself has no bottom, even if the later "This Man is from Earth" did take less than a day to complete the filming.
Outside, the sun had slipped over the horizon. The sky was getting darker.
Many of the reporters who were squatting outside the quarantine zone have also left, and filming in the house continues.
Everyone's enthusiasm is extraordinarily high. I put a lot of thought into the shooting.
Waltz and Natalie Portman walked out of the house, and John's friends gathered around the fireplace to discuss.
“oh,shutup!”
As the words fell, Chen Tian snapped his fingers: "Good! The shooting is over, you guys take a break here, Kate, bring fruit for everyone, I swear I love you to death." ”
"We don't need your love, or Scarlett Johansson will hate us. ”
Everyone laughed, and Chen Tian smiled and walked out of the room.
Nick has set up the camera outside the room, and Natalie Portman and Waltz are talking to each other, and the following will be the plot of the two of them.
The time is not long, it is only about 20 seconds in the movie, and the lines are even shorter, but they are an important part of the emotional scenes in this movie.
Natalie Portman needs to make eye contact with Waltz, and this is where the whole film tests her acting skills.
However, Natalie Portman's acting skills Chen Tian is very confident, and the rest depends on Waltz's.
Waltz and Natalie Portman have had a good direct confrontation before, but that part of the plot is not as difficult as it is here.
"Tim, from top to bottom, captures the swaying of the trees, and then slowly the camera descends.
Christopher, look up and show your melancholy, Nata, you are more experienced. ”
After Chen Tian finished speaking, Kate Green walked to the camera with a clapperboard.
"If I were ...... Maybe it would be easier!" Waltz looked up at the sky, his tone low and somewhat depressed.
"Crazy?"
With her hands crossed and her clothes draped, Natalie Portman looked blankly ahead.
"Tim, don't forget to zoom in slowly and give a close-up of Nata's upper body, with a focus on the face. ”
Tim Sushet manipulated the camera, and Natalie Portman slowly looked up in the monitor lens, and Waltz turned his head to look at Natalie Portman beside him.
"CUT! Christopher you need to show that you don't want to show that you have feelings for Nata.
It's just that because of your identity, you don't dare to show too much, and you show that feeling of love but not daring to say it.
Your look in your eyes, get moving!
Chen Tian took off his headphones and walked in front of Walz and made a move.
"Justin, I think you can consider acting yourself, and your explanation made me see your acting skills. Natalie Portman quipped as she looked at Chen Tian as he made the demonstration.
"Forget it, I know my strength, I just look like and use words to express what I want, and the rest needs you to express it. ”
Chen Tian returned to the back of the monitor. Walz adjusted the shoot and restarted. There was no problem with this shooting.
And the next plot will also be the climax of the whole movie. Waltz plays a section in which John calls himself Jesus.
This section has to be refined, this one will be tested by countless people, and if there is a mistake in the shooting, it will affect the whole film.
Looking at everyone on the monitor, scene after scene, Chen Tian became more and more excited.
Looking at the watch on my wrist, the time had come to half past ten in the evening, and I had been working for nearly six and a half hours since the shooting.
And "This Man is from Earth", which is less than 90 minutes long, has also come to an end, and the people in the house have walked out one by one.
"Maybe I'll meet you in a mental hospital!"
Gruber's voice fell. is Waltz's personal acting performance moment, and not a single line is completely displayed by expression and action.
The camera shows Natalie Portman, who is leaning on the fireplace for a while, and when she sees Waltz walking out of the house, she immediately gets up and follows.
"Ok!good!good!We're on the road to miracles together, and now we only have about ten minutes left to shoot.
We almost finished a movie in less than seven hours, and Kate went to see if there were no guys waiting outside the quarantine zone.
If anything, tell them that our movie is about to be shut down. Chen Tian turned to Kate Green and said.
Chen Tian can imagine Kate Green's expression when she told reporters that the movie, which only started at 4 p.m., was almost over, and then how many topics would be brought to the online newspapers.
Excellent free publicity opportunity. No need for nothing.
"OK, I'll do it!" Kate Green walked out of the room.
"Now we're filming the outside episode. The camera is dim, so it's not that demanding of you, of course Nata and Waltz and Richard are the three of you. Chen Tian clapped his hands and walked out of the room.
Kate Green walked to the perimeter of the fence, and there were only five or six reporters left in the squatting group, who were now playing poker on a mat on the ground.
The wind outside was not strong, but it was somewhat cold in the open environment, and they were wearing thick coats.
"Damn, we should go back, I have no doubt here that I'm going to get sick tomorrow because of it, and that miser won't give me any extra money. Jimmy, a reporter for the Orange County Chronicle, complained as he played his cards.
Los Angeles Times reporter Lance shrugged: "Forget it, at least we still have a deck of poker, and oh my god, this was originally what I was going to take home to play with my son, and if it wasn't for it, we would be bored." ”
"Oh, somebody's coming, do you know that we're cold and want to invite us in to have a fire?" said Jimmy, looking at Kate Green.
Several people immediately turned to look at Kate Green, who was walking towards the barrier: "Man, do you want us to go in and have a fire?"
"You can go in now if you want, but we're almost done.
We rented the house for a week and can stay here for a week if you need to. Kate Green said with a smile.
"Done, didn't my ears hear it right?" Jimmy put down his cards and looked at Kate Green.
"I'm sorry, you heard me right, that's the truth.
There are still a few scenes left in the last twenty minutes, and I have to go back to work. ”
Kate Green didn't finish speaking and turned around and left, and several people were completely stunned when they saw Kate Green leaving.
"He just said that the shoot was over? Is this a joke?"
"It doesn't look like it, at least it's a topic, a day, oh no, it's just seven hours to shoot a film, is he shooting a movie?"
"That's what he said, anyway, we're only responsible for reporting, and it's enough for someone to watch it. Lance put down his cards, "I don't want to stay here to blow the wind anyway, they invited us in, didn't they?"
As for whether it's a lie or not, it doesn't matter. ”
"Hey Justin, are you really done shooting?"
"Yes, the last few scenes, Kate just told you, and now we have finished filming in the house.
Sorry to let you guys be blown by the wind for seven hours with a fireplace in it. After Chen Tian finished speaking, he sat directly in front of the monitor.
"Natalie, is Justin telling me really? Are you sure you're making a movie and not a music video, and even the music video doesn't have that speed?" Jimmy looked at Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman smiled, "Do you think it's a joke? I think you must want Justin to brag about it, wouldn't that be more interesting? Unfortunately, it's not a lie, I'm sorry I'm going to shoot it." ”
The six reporters stared at each other, then sat down in the room.
Chen Tian, who looked outside the house one by one, was shooting: "Shit! Regardless of whether it's true or not, anyway, this is Justin's mouth, not us making it up, I'll call the editor-in-chief now to report!"
Jimmy's arrival made the remaining five people immediately report to their editor-in-chief.
"John Paley represents the Paleolithic Age!"
"John Savage represents the Savages!"
"Tim, close-up, close-up of face!"
Tim Suchette quickly adjusts the camera lens, and Waltz's eyes are bright.
"It was really crazy 60 years ago, when I was at Harvard, and my name was John Thomas Patti. ”
In the original film, Gruber accidentally overhears a conversation between the two and then discovers that he is John's son, and John Gruber dies of a heart attack as a result.
Last time in Boston, Chen Tian and Natalie Portman almost agreed on the same idea, which was to revise and simply reverse the scene at the end of the finale.
One can imagine how many people scolded John when Waltz said that everything he said was a lie and that he was lying.
When everyone thought that only the heroine Sandy, played by Natalie Portman, believed that John lived for 140 years, she finally chose to leave the protagonist.
At the end of the day, Gruber discovers a book left in the house and discovers that John is his father, who disappeared sixty years ago.
Such an extreme reversal can definitely make many people feel amazing.
The change in Gruber's expression in the camera is fully revealed, and Gruber is extremely complicated, remembering what John said before, he walks outside the house.
Under his watchful eye, John Odom carried Sandy away in the dim light.
Originally, Chen Tian took pictures of dusk, and dusk felt more sensational, but in the end, Chen Tian chose the night.
"Richard, keep your expression, your eyes, your eyes, your incomparably complex eyes, there are reluctances, entanglements, and tears at the end!" Chen Tian said as he looked at the monitor lens.
Gruber looked sideways at the departing car, slowly lengthening the camera from a close-up of his expression.
The camera accommodates Gruber and the car in the camera, the license plate gradually moves away, and a tear flows from the corner of the eye of Gruber, played by Richard.
The car is getting smaller and smaller, the camera is zooming out farther and farther, and Gruber is getting smaller and smaller inside the lens.
"yes!yes!yes!Tim, well done!"
Chen Tian shouted and swung his fist fiercely.
“f…… Uck! Really finished filming?" Jimmy burst out, got up from the couch and walked out of the house.
"Don't look at us like that, we got the shot done.
You are very lucky, because of the title of your prophetic film, "This Man is from Earth"!" Chen Tian looked at several reporters, smiled and snapped his fingers, "Miracles happen here!" (to be continued......)
