In the first few days of filming, it went more smoothly than Murphy expected, Robert Downey Jr. was in amazing shape, just as bad form is contagious, and the good form of the lead actor also drove the other actors, and the crew showed a kind of efficiency that seemed to be brought by Spielberg's talent, and all the scenes about Jordan Belfort's speech were all filmed in less than a week.

Then the heroine joined in the shooting.
Murphy's requirements for the heroine are very simple, as coquettish as possible, and when signing the actor contract, he clearly told the other party that there would be a positive **** scene.
As long as the relevant contract is signed, naked. Drama has never been a problem for Hollywood actresses.
Dakota Johnson, who stood out for the actress through the audition, didn't seem to care much about this aspect, and the contract didn't even stipulate that the filming would be cleared.
Several passion scenes between her and Robert Downey Jr. were filmed, and the level of dedication impressed many people in the crew.
Like many passion scenes, Hollywood's usual practice is to use stand-ins, but Murphy has previously stated that all large-scale scenes require actors to be on the stage in person, even Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill.
"This woman has a lot of ideas."
After the filming of a passion scene, Robert Downey Jr., draped in a bathrobe, came over and said to Murphy, "And dare to think and dare to do." ”
Murphy shrugged his shoulders and didn't take Robert Downey Jr.'s words to heart, casually saying, "This is a good quality of an actor." ”
Speaking of which, he glanced at Dakota Johnson, who had just put on his clothes, and perhaps the background of the insider made her more aware of the importance of opportunity.
Dakota Johnson is not an unknown young actor, she was also recommended to the crew, and starred in "Crazy Alabama" directed by Antonio Banderas at the age of ten, her mother is former Hollywood superstar Melanie Griffiths, her father is Don Johnson, and her stepfather is Antonio Banderas.
Compared with other rookie actors, Dakota Johnson undoubtedly has a better background.
Although it is always said that all people are created equal, realists like Murphy know very well that people are actually divided into three, six, nine and so on when they are born, and the advantages of birth are often extremely huge, and the key recommendation of CAA and Bill Rothes is also one of the reasons why Murphy finally chose Dakota Johnson.
The next scene soon began to be filmed, which was the scene where the heroine Naomi flirted with Jordan Belfort, whether it was Robert Downey Jr. or Dakota Johnson, they were very engaged, and after only one shot of a few shots, Murphy shouted through.
Seeing this passionate scene between Robert Downey Jr.'s domineering president and Dakota Johnson's beautiful girlfriend, Murphy suddenly thought of something.
He beckoned to the back, and Gal Gadot, who was discussing things with someone, walked over.
"Something?" Gal Gadot hurriedly asked.
Murphy nodded and said, "I remember you watched Twilight?" ”
This kind of movies and novels have always been women's favorites, and Gal Gadot is no exception.
"Well, at first I think it's okay." Gal Gadot thought that Murphy had an idea for the series and said his opinion, "But it's a little tired of watching too much, and girls under the age of twenty should like it more, I think it's a very good fan movie." ”
"You find someone to check." Murphy recalled, unable to remember the name of the original novel, so he said, "Collect all the fanfiction on the Internet related to the Twilight Zone, especially the ones featuring Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen." ”
"Okay." Gal Gadot nodded, and suddenly said, "Including which large-scale shame. Shame novels? ”
Murphy nodded without hesitation, "That's right, it's better to be the S.M type." ”
Gal Gadot glared at Murphy, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I want to learn." Murphy suddenly lowered his voice, "Let's see if we can use it." ”
"This ......" Gal Gadot bit his lip and seemed to be a little moved, "Let's go back and talk about this, now I work." ”
Murphy couldn't help but laugh and said solemnly, "Okay, let's talk about it slowly when we get back." ”
After ten days of filming in a warehouse in Venice, Murphy led the crew out of the studio and began filming on nearby backlots and inside the studio, and with more actors and a variety of scenes, the shoot was no longer as smooth as it had been.
In particular, the crew will shoot in different environments, times and light conditions, and some are night scenes, which will bring some difficulties.
So, Murphy decided to use a mix of techniques: Super 35mm film during the day, and digital cameras for night scenes, green screen footage, and experimental shutter speeds.
The film's protagonist, Jordan Belfort, is addicted to alcohol, drugs, sex, and various thrills, showing the audience the ups and downs of his life.
In order to depict his extremely confused state after taking ******, Murphy also decided to use Alesia's shutter settings to create a highly stylized effect, which he did not want to shoot too obviously or contrived, in order to give the audience a subtle sense of doubt.
Murphy then used a 360-degree shutter angle to shoot at twelve frames per second, after which he was processed twice, a practice that caused some of the distortion and motion blurring of the image to feel loose, like Jordan Belfort's sinking heart.
At Murphy's request, the crew mainly used different lenses, lighting styles, and color schemes to represent different stages of the story, using Jordan Belfort's mood as a guide, alternating with super 35mm film and digital camera lenses to achieve different levels of depth of field, angles, and clarity.
During this time, director of photography Philip Raschel also suggested that Murphy use negative shots to enhance the contrast between Belfort's moods and occasionally add some ambient smoke.
The part of the footage that has been obtained, which belongs to the beginning of Jordan Belfort's story, is softer and slightly cloudy, indicating that he has not yet discovered himself and that he is still confused and in awe of Wall Street.
Murphy uses a small depth of field and shallow anamorphic lens distortion to depict the first phase of Jordan Belfort's career.
Then there's the footage before Jordan Belfort starts his own business, his first job at a stockbroking firm, and the main light used by Murphy for his shoots here is green and gold lighting to be reminiscent of "Old World Wealth." ”
This color scheme was inspired by a photo provided by David Robbie of a stock trading firm in the 80s of the 20th century.
"This stock company eventually collapsed, and Jordan Belfort found himself unemployed,"
On set, Murphy told Helena Espora, who was in charge of setting the set, "He ended up working as a regular employee at an investment center, and he hated the job. I only let in the light through the large window on one side of the room, which made the office feel like a cave, a place where he was plunged into darkness. ”
In order to assign a look to the different times and places in Jordan Belfort's story, Murphy also created a look that evoked the emotional and/or mental state of the characters. For example, in order to highlight Jordan Belfort's continued drug use, Murphy developed "hypnosis," which means that when the actor is talking in a daze, the camera should be close to Robert Downey Jr. and be very intimate with him.
After filming in the Los Angeles area, Murphy led the crew to New York, where the yacht club in Rhode Island did not meet the filming requirements, and the crew built a green-screen yacht set at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn.
Filming here, the crew had to create realistic, dark and stormy daylight exteriors, so Murphy decided to shoot at night to better control the lighting, as the model yacht was built on a rocking gimbal, so the track operator had to tie up Filip Raschel and his camera assistant to keep them upright while they filmed the action.
This also made the photographer suffer enough.
But the shooting of movies is like this, there are always many difficulties that need customer service, if you want to have smooth sailing, then don't choose this industry.
While this kind of green screen shooting is far easier than shooting a real yacht, there are quite a few challenges to solve, Murphy needs David Robbie's team to create soft ambient lighting, the special effects team uses large buckets and water cannons to deliver water to the bridge on the site to simulate the waves that eventually sink the cruise ship, and the film crew uses underwater lenses to shoot the distant view of the bridge so that the water can literally pour towards the camera.
For other scenes on the yacht, Helena Espora's art department built a replica of the boat's upper deck at Kaufmanndorf Studios' studio.
There, around all the cast and crew, on the deck of the yacht, a semi-circular green screen about 50 feet tall and 80 feet wide was mounted on the set, while it was erected on a dedicated track so that the team could slide to fit the shot without adding green fill light to the rest of the set.
Outside of the shooting range, at Murphy's request, a huge white curtain was erected to create soft fill light behind the camera.
In general, the filming went relatively smoothly, even if there was a problem that was difficult to solve, Murphy would work together and use the strength of the whole team to solve it, good cooperation is always the key to making a successful film, making a movie requires knowing how to discover the talents of the people around him, and understanding that the director can never complete a film alone.
Cinema is a team sport.
With the deepening of filming, the publicity of Twentieth Century Fox has not relaxed, and the online social networking in this era is quite active, and many key members of the crew are also constantly updating their social networking sites according to the plan. (To be continued.) )
