821 A different crew
"OK, guys, take a look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"In the bar in South Boston, which was the filming location, Liu Anran clapped his palms and attracted everyone's attention.
"Tomorrow, our film will start official shooting, so let's talk about the general shooting plan first. Although I wanted to set this location in Boston, and the prototype of our story is also in Boston, there will be a 15% tax deduction in New York. ”
"So, as you all know, I'm going to change a lot of scenes to New York, and you're going to run around. But we can't be blamed for this, only that Boston doesn't give us discounts. ”
Hearing Liu Anran's words, everyone did not have any disgust. In fact, everyone knows that for a crew, there is no way to have a surplus if there is not enough to spend. If you let go of your hands and feet, it's normal to spend an extra $20 million or 30 million.
"But I put a lot of energy into this film, I don't just want to remake "Infernal Affairs", which won the Xiangjiang Slaughter Awards, I want to make "The Departed". Although the script is derived from "Infernal Affairs", we can also see it as a completely new work. Liu Anran continued.
"You've all read the script, Matt? Damon even interned in the police department for several months. Our police officer, I think he's a little impatient right now. ”
"Andy, when I was with them, I had two shootouts. It was all an emergency, and one of the officers was injured. Thankfully, he was only slightly injured and has now recovered. "Matt? Damon said.
Liu Anran waved his hand, "I know you're hard, but this time you have to take it seriously." In fact, people often like to position the male protagonist of a film, but in our film, the male protagonist is not one, but three. ”
"Actually, I'm a little worried, I'm afraid that Jack will steal the role of both of you. Don't blame me then, it's because you don't work hard enough. ”
"Haha, it looks like I should work harder." Jack? Nicholson said, raising his wine glass in his hand.
"Don't think I'm joking with everyone, I wrote the script, and in my heart, in fact, the roles of these three people are the same. If the two of them don't work hard, you will really rob the protagonist's aura in minutes. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"Hey, boys, don't let me get rid of you, old fellow." Jack? Nicholson looked at Matt? Damon and Leonardo, the expressions on their faces are very cheerful, but they make people feel a little chilled.
"HOHOHO, DO YOU SEE? Our Frank is here, and for Frank's sake, kill this glass of wine in our hands. Liu Anran said coaxing on the side.
Everyone was also interested, whether they were whiskey drinkers or beer drinkers, they were all clamoring to pour the wine in their glasses into their stomachs.
I have participated in a lot of crews, but this is the first time I have seen a crew like today. How can the film start tomorrow, and the director is still pouring wine and drinking for everyone here.
Liu Anran beckoned again, and each of them served another round of wine, and his assistant also brought a few boxes of cigars and put them on the table. Liu Anran took a dot directly from it and sucked it up with great enjoyment.
"Andy, have you been drinking or smoking cigars at home lately?" Mark? Wahlberg asked with a smile after taking one in it as well.
"Go, go, how can you feel the feeling of being a father." Liu Anran said triumphantly.
Hear him, Mark? Wahlberg took the box of cigars in front of him and took it to the side to share with everyone.
"Do you know why I'm inviting people to drink?" After another round of drinking, Liu Anran asked with a smile.
"Andy, aren't you really afraid that we will get drunk and delay tomorrow's shooting?" Leonardo asked angrily.
Liu Anran shook his head, "It doesn't matter if everyone is drunk today, even if we can't shoot tomorrow, we can shoot the day after tomorrow." Our movie is not bad for this day, but the happy day will have nothing to do with us in the future. ”
"The others are better, mainly the two of you. Your characters in the play are tormenting every minute and every second. You are all undercover agents, whether you are with Frank or in the investigation team, and none of you can really sleep well. ”
"In this crew, the joy in the future can be said to have little to do with us. From tomorrow onwards, you will be the people in the play. Because only in this way can the torment in their hearts be vividly expressed. ”
"For fear of all kinds of mental problems, I hired a real psychiatrist for our crew. Let me introduce you, Joel, alas, not a beauty. ”
Liu Anran said and introduced Joel, the psychiatrist on the side, to everyone. Is he really worried about Leonardo or Matt because of the filming of this film? Damon made a psychological problem. I'm afraid that they are too deep into the play, and it will be difficult to get out of it.
Such a result is a good thing for the director, and there will be good lens effects. But it's not a good thing for actors, and it's hard to recover within a few months after filming.
This can be regarded as an innovation in the crew, and hiring a psychiatrist to be resident in the crew is also very expensive. Liu Anran was able to invite one over, which shows that he really cares about everyone.
"Even though I'm not a beauty, I hope you have time to talk to me more. Chatting doesn't mean your mental health is in good shape, and if you don't go to me, I'm going to be lonely. Joel said with a smile.
"Well, I don't need to introduce the rest of the people. Everyone has to be prepared to endure hardships, it won't be so easy in my crew. You can take revenge on me, and you can all get yourself drunk. After Liu Anran finished speaking, he knocked on the bar with a wine glass.
"Andy, it looks like you're really going to be the same as you, it's going to be a really good crew." Jack? Nicholson sat down next to Liu Anran and said.
"Of course, this film, I'm going for the Oscar for Best Picture. But you know, don't talk about it, or you'll come back against me. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.
The other people invited them well, but Jack? Nicholson's side invited three times. The first time I contacted his agent, and then he was turned down. The second time I contacted him directly, he didn't find it interesting. The third time was Liu Anran with Matt? Damon and Leonardo came to the door in person to invite him.
