Emma Stone was born in '88, and before "La La Land", Shen Lin, like all Chinese, was not very familiar with her.

However, she is very popular in North America, and the feature film "The Help" starring in 11 years was popular at the North American box office, and she herself has become the darling of Lao Mei, but unfortunately her international popularity has never been able to hit.

On the one hand, she is definitely not good-looking, not only does not conform to the aesthetics of the Orientals, but even Lao Mei does not think that this sister is a beauty.

On the other hand, among the younger generation of Hollywood, her acting skills are not absolutely amazing.

These people her age, or younger than her, Kirsten Dunst, Leighton Meester, Big Cousin, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman...

Randomly bring out a movie that is far more than her in terms of fame and qualifications, so to star in "La La Land", a movie co-directed by two of Hollywood's most promising young directors, she must be grateful at the same time, she must also hold back to prove herself.

“Action！”

With the assistant director's playboard, the first act of "La La Land" began to be filmed.

Shen Lin sat behind the monitor, staring at the footage from the camera.

Mia, played by Sister Stone, is clumsily rummaging through the tape in the car,

Nearly a minute of footage, without a trace of superfluity!

"Ryan, it's your turn!"

The camera switched, and the camera focused on Gao Siling, who was blocked behind by Sister Shi.

Together, there are two pedestrians who are stuck in traffic, and their reactions are also very conventional.

It's not a stunning debut, but there's nothing wrong with it.

"Alright, it's over!"

Shen Lin looked at the two shots, thought for a moment, and directly adopted them.

The significance of filming this segment, on the one hand, directly allows the hero and heroine to enter the camera, and on the other hand, it is also to compare with the later traffic jam scene.

Ryan Goss and Emma Stone get out of the car and prepare for the transition.

Shen Lin was a little helpless and motioned to the two of them to wait a little, because on the other side, Mian'en's filming was about to start.

Mian arranged for two joysticks to be aimed at the whole scene, while several main cinematographers carried the cameras and pointed them at several group performances with independent lenses.

Although Los Angeles is not New York, there is no Broadway, but there are still places where these dancers come and go, and the show in Los Angeles is not less than that in New York!

"Let's go!"

When the live shooting started, the whole scene was not accompanied by music, and these group performances had to follow the rhythm of the test shoot without the slightest mistake.

The first shot shows a black actress sitting in a car, singing, and slowly walking out of the cab...

Forget it, it's not watery, and you're not interested in it anyway.

In short, the first shooting was stuck, and two actors collided when they got out of the car.

Damien was annoyed, but he knew it was inevitable.

There can't be a smooth sailing situation, otherwise everyone can be a director!

"Okay, let's do it again!"

Shen Lin was a little speechless.

He couldn't understand Damien's thoughts, why did he have to pursue one shot to the end, the audience went to the theater to watch the movie, and the most important thing was to see the complete plot and picture, they didn't care how these were filmed, they had to pursue one shot to the end, so why was montage invented?

Just make a documentary!

Then, naturally, the second pass was still stuck.

It's too difficult to have a three-minute-long singing and dancing scene that you want to take to the end without pausing in between.

You can't shoot a MV in general!

"Damien, it's been twice, we can't afford to waste time like this!"

Shen Lin spoke decisively to stop Damien's idea of doing it again.

"Shen, do it again, I believe it can be done!"

"It's impossible, do you know how many people's energy you will waste by experimenting like this one time and again? You can't waste all your time because of your own ideas, and the entire crew of more than 100 people can't stop with you because of your personal pursuits!"

Shen Lin didn't mean the slightest politeness, refused Damien's request, and looked at the group performance door who was a little overwhelmed: "Pause first, we'll shoot later!"

……

After Shen Lin took over this three-minute opening scene, he first divided the specific shooting tasks for several photographers, and then divided them into four paragraphs according to the original shooting order.

The next shooting only took about two hours, and the shot that Damien had been insisting on was taken down to the end.

There were also two or three NGs in between.

It is said that after two days of masturbation of this shot of the original version, Damien really had no choice, so he tried to shoot in sections!

Two days in vain!

It can't be said who is right and who is wrong in the insistence of two people, for the director, trying to tell a story with a one-shot approach is certainly commendable.

Many aspiring directors have tried to shoot a movie in one shot, and of course, most of them have failed!

But for investors, Shen Lin's shooting method is undoubtedly more commendable.

Damien was very dissatisfied and felt that Shen Lin was in the way of him.

Shen Lin thinks that Damien is stupid and cute, and the development of technology is to allow people to enjoy life better and use simpler methods to shoot movies.

Why do you have to shoot a movie in the hardest way?

There may be people who know and will sigh from the bottom of their hearts, 'That's amazing!', but what can be done?

Is there a difference in the effect presented by the movie?

However, Shen Lin actually had a faint voice in his heart telling him that he should challenge it, after all, he is also unwilling to be lonely in his bones!

……

On the afternoon of May 27, because the night scene was going to be filmed today, the entire crew did not have a shooting task during the day.

Shen Lin was discussing with Damien the precautions for evening shooting.

"That's it, tonight, we shoot the singing and dancing scenes of Mia and the first meeting on the mountain, we test shoot three times, don't shout in the middle, if it can be successful, I will hand over more shooting tasks to you in the future!"

The filming cycle of "La La Land" is two months, and the post-production is two months.

is in a hurry, so both the actors and the behind-the-scenes creators of the crew know that Shen Lin can give Mi Anen two chances to experiment, absolutely out of respect for the director.

Although "La La Land" is a double director, and the original script is also written by Mian Nchazelle, it is Shen Lin who occupies the absolute right to speak in the whole project.

Everyone understands that the reason why this movie can be made is definitely because of Shen Lin's support.

He paid close to fifteen million dollars out of his own pocket.

Therefore, although Mian En is not obedient to Shen Lin, he respects him very much, and his opinions are mainly used when filming.

"Really, then I'll talk to the cameraman!"

Hearing what Shen Lin said, Mi Anen couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he had to communicate with the photographer in the next second.

"No, I've already told him. ”

Shen Lin waved his hand, "If it doesn't work this time, then we will give up the shooting method you want and shoot according to the process of ordinary movies!"
