CHAPTER XIX. Georgia
Georgia, one of the seven southern states of the United States, is the stronghold of the Republican Party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Martial and strong, it can be regarded as the impression of the American South to everyone.
Georgia is no exception, and when they arrived at the filming location, they saw several Mexican-American infighting and even guns!
"Wow! You guys in the United States are really messy! ”
Shen Lin was quite emotional, this is a group of democracies in China that are known to be shouting every day?
"Pay attention to your wording, it's not us American, I'm Canadian!"
The assistant director's name is Marc Vallée, and Touchstone specially hired him to assist Shen Lin in filming.
This guy has been immersed in the independent film industry for more than ten years and has a lot of experience in shooting independent films.
The reason why Shen Lin asked Touchstone to hire him is simple, Mark Valey is the director of the original "Dallas Buyers Club".
Canadians, who don't have a good impression of Lao Mei, often complain about Lao Mei together after meeting Shen Lin.
The two were not familiar with each other at first, but after chatting for a few minutes, the topic came out: 'Let's talk about the difference between Lao and the United States and other countries!' ’
"Lao Mei is no longer beautiful now, and Aohei's life is not easy!"
Talking about politics and bashing the president seems to be the daily routine of old American interpersonal interactions.
Of course, this group of people are all filmmakers, and they are not enthusiastic about politics.
"Okay, I guess we can start filming tomorrow, let's have a good rest today!"
……
The next day, when he came to the crew, he saw Matthew wearing makeup, and Shen Lin was a little speechless in surprise.
It's too thin, and it doesn't have the personable appearance before at all.
"Shen, we have to shoot in order, Matthew said, his weight is not yet the state that Ron was in before he was on the verge of death!"
“OK!”
Maybe this is the true meaning of actors!
Originally, I heard some idol actors say when they received the award: 'I am acting with my life. ’
Shen Lin will always scoff, what kind of thing is acting with life? You think you're Chenlong?
After seeing Matthew, who was fully in the state, Shen Lin completely understood that there is really a kind of person in this world who regards acting as life, and they can really devote themselves to a role!
To be honest, Shen Lin was a little surprised and a little regretful at the same time, he originally thought that he could win the Oscar actor under training, but looking at this state, it is estimated that it will not be his turn to train!
In fact, Shen Lin originally planned to transform this "Dallas" into a film with a flat narrative style, telling such a thing from the perspective of a bystander.
It's like Roman Polans, who tells a sad and compassionate story through "The Pianist".
However, the moment he saw Matthew, Shen Lin immediately understood why Mark Valay in the original time and space would tell such a story in a more rugged way, the reason was because of Matthew's unique southern cowboy image!
Is it possible for you to let a southerner who yearns for cowboy culture play a story of resistance in peace?
Ron Woodruff isn't really a cowboy who rides a horse and tends to thousands of beef or dairy cows.
He lives in a cheap mobile home in Dallas, works as an electrician, follows cowboy culture, participates in rodeo conventions, and does well. He smoked, drank, took drugs, and occasionally had fun in a hidden corner of the rodeo arena with two girls by his side.
In his attitude towards homosexuality, Ron is also highly consistent with those who pursue cowboy style, he hates, loathes, and stays away.
In the United States in the mid-1980s, he was tragically infected with AIDS, then considered an incurable disease unique to homosexuals. Ron's first reaction was that the hospital was confusing his blood samples with those of homosexuals, and he used the disparaging term 'daisy puller' to refer to homosexuals.
The doctor's diagnosis was not optimistic, and Ron had only a life expectancy of 30 days.
And then he lived for seven years!
In the past seven years, he not only had to face death at any time, but also had to fight against the FDA, because the government had no effective way to help these AIDS people, and the United States was ruled by Reagan at that time, and conservative thought was gradually dominant, and there were not many people who could objectively understand homosexuality.
Even after Reagan stepped down, his successor, George H.W. Bush, heavyweight Senator Helms, and others believed that AIDS was caused by misbehavior, and that the best way to eradicate the disease was to maintain chastity.
From the current point of view, these people are simply prejudices with a capital letter!
If you look at the whole thing with the coldness of an outsider, it will make the whole story inevitably sympathetic.
And the depressing thing is slowly presented through the camera, this is originally an Oscar-style movie, and this style is most likely to be loved by the Oscar judges!
But Ron doesn't need sympathy, he's strong, like his own line: "Tell you, nothing can kill Ron Woodruff in thirty days!" ”
Ron wasn't even a tall hero, he was an ordinary man who started the Dallas Buyers Club just to make a profit.
Shen Lin is not ready to create a tall and complete image of a rebel and righteous man, in fact, Shen Lin is ready to completely release himself this time, how to come, how to come!
Damn, I've been suppressed for too long!
He wants to show the group skin in the movie, show the marijuana, and show the humanity of the red fruit!
Therefore, as soon as he came up, he was going to shoot a passion scene, that is, the scene at the beginning of the movie, the 3 skins next to the bullring!
There's nothing to say, although this is an R-rated movie, it's not porn, so the lower half of the body can't be exposed, not even the upper body, only a half-pulled ass, and most of the camera is aimed at Matthew's panting face.
"Dallas Buyers Club" tells the story of the old American South, if the movie wants to sell well in the South, it must consider the character of the Southerners, the six southern states of the United States are particularly conservative, and there are even rules that virgins must be born before marriage!
In recent years, the biggest opposition to the legalization of homosexuality that Ohei has been trying to promote is the six southern states!
Besides, Shen Lin is still thinking about introducing this movie into China, if there is too much flesh exposed, it is really inappropriate!
After the beginning of filming, Shen Lin asked some people in the crew to pull out a cow, which is a real cow!
Matthew looked at the camera, made an OK gesture, and the movie started.
How to put it, Matthew is not a professional cowboy after all, even if he has done his homework in this area during the preparation period before, but it is still a lot short of Ron's superb skills.
"Click! Matthew, why don't you change your stand-in, after all, it's very dangerous! ”
I'm not very satisfied with this shot, in fact, the most perfect is of course Matthew riding on the back of a cow, bumping up and down, and the camera is responsible for capturing close-ups of people.
It's not that Matthew can't do it!
"Okay, you let the stand-in go first!"
Although he really wanted to perform it himself, Matthew knew that letting the stand-in perform this part was the best choice, and if he was injured, it would affect the accuracy of the entire crew!
