The two-week recording time did not go as smoothly as Schumacher had hoped, and the originally planned repertoire was now only two-thirds complete. Not wanting to waste too much time on refining the slow singing, Schumacher decided to start the film as originally planned, but what made him even more angry was that the Paris Opera House had not been fully completed until now.

Schumacher, who had a good temper at the time, immediately became furious and started the first battle between director and producer Jeff Arberly: "The Phantom of the Opera didn't even have an opera house to shoot it, do you want to shoot it?!" It's the same as when you make a political drama and you don't even have a good White House! What do you want me to do now? You said you were going to finish it in five months, and you told me it could be done?! ”

"Don't be so angry, Joe, to be honest, the Paris Opera House you and Webb designed at the beginning was too extravagant and complicated, and the big chandelier was wasted with more than 20,000 Swarovski crystals, so you can imagine how complicated the process is, and despite our urging many times, Swarovski is still one step slower. The workers are already rushing to work, but you can't let them go without eating, drinking, or sleeping, otherwise they won't find a place to cry if they don't do it. ”

Jeff Arberly, who knew he was wrong, comforted Schumacher with a smile on his face.

"Can't you just get a few more workers over to speed things up?"

"I'd like to, too, but we have to think about the budget. Haven't you recorded all the planned songs yet? You can finish the song first. ”

"Do you think this is a singer's album that can be slowly revised and changed? Fuck the budget, we didn't pay for them as if they were God's, if they were in any Hollywood studio, they would have a third fucking batch of workers! Schumacher slapped the table angrily, "Do you think my actors can follow you?" Theo's agent has already said that he will leave in January, if he can't finish filming, then he will have to wait at least three months to shoot again, you can do it yourself! ”

Although even Theolod himself probably didn't know that he had to rush back to Los Angeles in January, this threat was still quite useful, in Warner's eyes he was the pillar and cash cow of "The Phantom of the Opera", and Aberly immediately became anxious when he heard it: "This is Britain and not the United States, the national conditions are different......

"Is that really what Theolod said? I don't seem to have heard from his agent about it, so I'm going to talk to him and see if he can help us squeeze in some time. Joe, don't worry, the Phantom's dungeon has entered the final stage, let's temporarily change the shooting order, I asked them to drive out the dungeon this morning, and we can shoot in the afternoon. ”

“…… That's all I can do. ”

Schumacher walked out of Arberly's office satisfied, and Theolod was a good card, leaving the difficult Warner producer speechless. Those capitalists who cut the door, obviously squeezed out a little budget and hired a few more people to complete it a long time ago, but they were stingy with so many thousands of dollars, and with such an iron rooster producer dangling around him, he can make a good movie, that's hell.

When Schumacher saw Theorod waiting with the script in his hand, he immediately beckoned to him with a smile in his eyes. He didn't have to think about it to know that the suspicious Arbury would call Theolod to ask about Theorod's agent, so he had to ask Theorod to do him a favor and make a confession, and in return he would treat him to dinner.

Theolod nodded without hesitation, indicating that he would say yes to Marshall now.

So, Marshall, who was still asleep, was woken up by a phone call from Theorod, who was bribed by a meal, in order to help the director who was in cahoots with him to lie and fool the producer.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Theolod was notified to come to the set, there was still a small part of the dungeon set to be completed. After the actors change their clothes and set their looks, they can almost start filming directly. Theolod had already dyed his hair black three days ago and had the crew's hairstylist trim it, and now all he had to do was put on the Phantom's clothes and put on his makeup and mask.

Schumacher is filming the scene where the Phantom brings Christine into the dungeon for the first time, and in this scene Christine will also remove the Phantom's mask for the first time. But the Phantom's unmasked appearance was so ugly that it would take at least three hours to complete the look, and it was impossible to shoot that part this afternoon in Schumacher's plan, so Theorod didn't have to sit in front of the make-up mirror for three hours and watch the stylist make himself a ghost.

But......

"God, I can't imagine why Christine would like Raul over the Phantom......" Anne, dressed in a long white dress and long hair shawl, looked at Theorod in a black cloak with the help of a costumer, and exclaimed. She didn't meet Theorod when she tried the styling before, so she didn't know what Theorod's phantom looked like, but now it's the first time I've seen it, Rao is that she has developed a certain resistance to Theorod's charm and handsomeness, and her eyes are almost straight at the moment.

The long stay underground gave the Phantom's face an unhealthy vampire-like pale, but it was a paleness that made his dull blue-green eyes distinct and cold. All that was fixed behind his head was a few strands of black hair that hung down in front of the white mask on the right side of his face, allowing the mask to outline the shape of his tall nose.

His slightly pursed pink and white thin lips still had a light smile, like a snow lotus blooming on the cliff of an iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years, his thin body in a black dress was particularly straight, and then put on a black cloak that directly covered his whole person, he was not bloated or short at all, but more upright and slender.

At the moment when Theolod heard the sound, looking at his green and blue eyes in the dim light, the whole person seemed to be bathed in the moonlight, and Anne couldn't help but sigh in her heart the miracle of the Creator, why there are such good-looking men in the world, and became more and more aware that this kind of person can only be seen from a distance and cannot be played.

How ugly is it to say yes? Theolod's phantom is so good-looking, and even everyone present, whether male or female, is thinking, if he is Christine, if he encounters such a talented and deeply loved himself wearing a mask and can kill people with his appearance in an invisible phantom, would he stick it upside down in minutes.

“…… So I think I should add another scar to the left side of my face? Theorod looked at Anne, who was almost stunned, and turned his head to immediately joke with the stylist.

The stylist was also entangled, he looked at the director Schumacher, but Schumacher waved his hand: "What to add, just take off the mask and make it ugly." This is making a movie, and I don't know how many people don't even know what "Phantom of the Opera" is, and they are coming at you in the face. I'm sure you can make Kristen hate you and fear you. ”

"At least I'm not afraid at all now." Anne took the skirt around Theorod for a while, suddenly thought of something, and smiled, "Black cape wearing a mask, black hair and blue eyes, Theo, in fact, I think you can also play Batman." Joe, what do you think? You've also filmed Batman. ”

"If you'd like, I could also make a Batman Tale for you, and Annie might be able to play Catwoman." Schumacher cooperated with the two and joked.

"Oh, I can play Zorro as you say." Theolod picked up the fancy black hat on the hanger beside him, flicked the cloak, turned it around, put it on his head, then took Anne's right hand, bent down slightly, kissed his thumb lightly, and kissed a gentleman's hand before saying to her, "'You make this life of struggle more meaningful,' beautiful lady." ”

Anne was immediately amused by Theorod's performance: "Then I'm Odonthea." ”

"Don't 'talk about love,' Zorro, Ortonsia, now you should be the Phantom and Christine." Schumacher took off the black hat from Theorod's head, "We'll start in ten minutes." What about field affairs? Take them to the boat to get ready. ”

Others have been exposed to the scandals of "Phantom" and "Christine" that are rumored by the outside world these days, and at this moment they only feel that the two are flirting, and they can't help but smile, just as they were stuffed with a mouthful of dog food by their own male and female leads. Fortunately, it was Bennett who followed Theorod to London instead of Nattel, but Bennett was instructed by his boss to keep an eye on Theorod and not let him "attract bees and butterflies", especially not to let him hang out with Anne for a long time. Thinking of this order, Bennett began to wonder if he would be scolded by him if he told Natl about it.

In fact, Theolod didn't plan to use Anne to make dog food at all, he was just using this way to make Anne relax. He knew that the first scene of filming was when he rowed a boat and took Anne to the dungeon - this part was also the end of the two singing "ofopera", but now only the dungeon was built, so the song could only be sung when the waterway was repaired.

Christine, who is bewitched by the Phantom at the moment, is full of excitement and curiosity about going to the unknown, and it would be better if she could still have a little fear, if not, it can only strengthen the positive emotions.

When filming first started, Anne was obviously still influenced by the previous Theolod Zorro, she saw him stretch out his hand to her, ready to help her ashore, she had not yet fully entered the play, she somehow thought of the previous scene, unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth under the camera, eyebrows and smiles, a happy and expectant look made Schumacher behind the camera raise his eyebrows, he seemed to feel that Anne's acting skills have improved.

Before he could think about it, Theorod, whose temperament and aura had undergone earth-shaking changes under the camera, had already walked to the position he had determined during the previous lecture, untied his wide cloak and drew a cold and hard arc in the air, but instead of throwing the cloak to the ground as he had said before, he casually put it between the crooks of his left arm.

The Phantom represents a sickly and unhealthy emaciated body, showing a strange upright posture in the warm and hazy light, in this low, damp and cold underground palace, he is the only king here, with his thin body, supporting the lonely kingdom after King's Landing in the music world.

Today, however, in a kingdom where no one else worshipped, the first guest to come was the Phantom himself, who dressed himself up in his best self and proudly displayed it in front of Christine.

When the pre-recorded music played, Schumacher looked at Theorod who was singing with his own singing, and his heart suddenly burst - he could not deny that he was shocked by the momentum of Theorod throwing off his cloak and placing it in the crook of his arm, and he could not deny the charm of this phantom who was pacing in his kingdom, but when Theorod changed his body movements without authorization, an ominous premonition slowly welled up in his heart.

"I have led you to the throne of this sweet music." The Phantom sang slowly with his bewitching voice, spreading his arms in a circle as he walked, his long hem waving in the candlelight.

He leads Christine, seduces/seduces her, bewitches her, shows off his dungeon to her like a child, and like a hidden devil, he tempts her into his own hell step by step.

With the same lyrics, Schumacher listened to the player and Theorod's live performance, and he was surprised to find that Theorod sang better than the finished product that had been repaired!

“…… Come to this kingdom of music where everyone worships ......" The Phantom came to his composing platform, and his voice became a cappella of birds of paradise, the murmur of nightmares. With a careless step, he caressed the back of the chair with his right hand, and the simple stroking motion was made by him with an indescribable eroticism and pity, as if his fingers were not crossing the back of the chair, but Christine's face.

He opened his cloak and put it on the chair, and the moment he looked at Christine, his originally gentle and deep gaze was replaced by suppressed madness and love, and in an instant, the phantom aura that was slowly bewitching the prey a second ago suddenly became fierce.

"There is only one reason why you are here, and that is that from the first time I heard you sing, you are destined to sing for my music, destined to surrender to my music, destined to belong to me......"

It was the way a predator looked at his prey.

It was the look of a drowning man looking at driftwood.

Schumacher's hands trembled a little, and he finally knew where that ominous premonition came from - Theorod had changed his words! He still changed the word! Even though the original song he had sung was still playing in his ear, he still changed his lines!
