In a small studio near the south side of the warehouse, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz, dressed in smart suits, sat at the double table in front of the green screen, dressed retro, looking quite handsome and full of passion, as the extras took place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially Christopher Waltz, even if he sits there and doesn't say anything, Murphy looks through the camera and feels like he's full of drama.

Although evaluating acting skills is a very subjective thing, he has to admit that Christopher Waltz and Robert Downey Jr. are playing normally, and the latter is difficult to compare with the former.

However, acting is only part of the charm of a star or even an actor.

Seeing that the actor was in place, Murphy raised his hand from behind the camera and gestured to the scene.

"Scene 219, Act 22." The clerk placed the tag in front of the camera lens, "Start now!" ”

As the sound of 'start' sounded, the crew immediately began to tell the run.

"Mr. Hannah, you can take it during the day. ...... medicine," Robert Downey Jr. said with curiosity and humility on his face, "and still be able to keep working?" ”

"Or is there any other way to do this?" Christopher Waltz shrugged, "My friend, if you want to work, of course you have to be ancient. Axe handle. Alkali and prostitute. Female. ”

"yes." Robert Downey Jr. could only smile, "I must say that I am very excited to be a part of this company, and the customers of the company are ......"

"his clients!"

Robert Downey Jr. could not finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Christopher Waltz, "The customers are a bunch of idiots!" ”

He shook his head, "The only thing we have to do is take the customer's money out of our pockets and put it in our pockets." ”

"If you make money for your customers at the same time......" Robert Downey Jr. seems very innocent both in person and in words, and the crew deliberately made him look much younger through makeup, "Then everyone can make a profit, right?" ”

"Wrong!" Christopher Waltz completely rejected Robert Downey Jr.'s claim, "The first rule of Wall Street, no one, even if you're Warren Buffett and Jimmy Buffett, no one can know if the stock is going to go up or down, turn sideways or play in circles, at least that's the case with all stockbrokers, it's all fake." ”

Murphy's camera is always filming the scene between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz in a panoramic manner.

“ok！” He stood up from behind the camera and shouted, "Donnie, Chris, good job!" ”

Robert Downey Jr. immediately made a triumphant gesture to his side.

Without waiting for his hand to be lowered, Murphy said loudly again, "But it's not good enough!" I need the two of you to be more explosive. ”

Murphy no longer cares about these two guys, as a director, he's more about making demands and then letting the actors do it, and with the abilities of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz, he can do better.

He left behind the camera, returned to his director's monitor, and said to Philippe Raschel, who had just sat in his place, "Rearrange the camera, and then shoot the dialogue with the front and back shots." ”

Philip Raschel nodded, handed the director's seat back to Murphy, returned to his film crew, and began to set up a camera on the left side of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz on the right side of Robert Downey Jr., who sat opposite him, as planned in advance, to capture the footage of the two men in a close-up fashion.

Filming began very quickly, with the No. 1 camera for capturing Robert Downey Jr., and the No. 2 camera for filming Christopher Waltz.

In order to avoid showmanship, Murphy used the simplest front-to-back shots, using only two cameras, both of which were placed on the same side of the 180th parallel, according to the axis principle, and each camera was aimed at an actor, so that the shooting could not affect each other.

When shooting, Murphy also asked Filip Raschel to use basically over-the-shoulder shots, the first shot hints at the presence of the protagonist Jordan Belfort, and the next shot, which can be turned to Christopher Waltz's over-the-shoulder shot as a reaction shot, or it can make Christopher Waltz's scene a little smaller.

By using at least two cameras to shoot the same performance, Murphy was able to choose the cutting point freely when editing in post, which also gave the film a better look.

Shooting the front and back shots is not a clever shooting technique, but it has been proven by countless films to be the most effective way to maintain the rhythm of the dialogue, such as the very dense dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz shot by Murphy, which will seriously slow down the pace of the movie, and the quick switching of the front and back shots can save it.

This technique has a long history and has not yet been applied as a stylistic strategy in the first 15 years or so of filmmaking; What was popular at that time was the so-called style of character scene modeling, which used a single shot to represent the entire scene.

By the late 10s of the 20th century, it had become commonplace in American feature films, and shortly thereafter, forward and reverse editing was adopted by the whole world.

Such footage is edited to give the viewer a sense of continuity in the film, as if it were following a real timeline.

In the words of Robert Downey Jr., "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a crazy movie, and the meeting between his role as Jordan Belfort and Christopher Waltz's Mark Hannah is arguably the centerpiece of the opening scene, with Murphy deliberately placing the characters on either side of the camera to keep the dialogue flowing.

For the next shoot, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz both performed well, but Murphy was still not happy with the footage he gave.

So, Murphy made some changes during the shooting, and in the initial stages of shooting, he gave Christopher Waltz a very wide shot, explaining the surroundings, and then when Christopher Waltz's first line ended, the camera tilted forward and changed to a close-up shot.

This approach is able to maintain the action in the background while keeping the viewer at the same distance as Christopher Waltz, as Jordan Belfort, in order to keep this conversation private in the shot.

Shooting is always like this, it is impossible to go according to the plan in advance, and there are places that cannot be considered in the plan, Murphy can always encounter some situations that exceed the plan every time he shoots, which requires him and the whole team to respond in time to achieve the ultimate goal at the least cost.

Sometimes, in order to achieve the shooting goal, there may be more time and money than expected.

However, after years of directing, Murphy has accumulated rich experience while also erecting a high prestige and prestige, and has always had a good reputation in terms of capital consumption, and is also a director who is very willing to cooperate with a third-party guarantee company.

In today's Hollywood, everyone knows that working with Murphy Stanton is a very reliable thing, and in the internal lists of major Hollywood companies, Murphy is also at the top of the green class.

This kind of green class is the division within Hollywood production companies, mainly based on the box office results of two or three films of a director in the last five years, as long as the director can bring high commercial profits to two consecutive films, they will be classified into the green class.

A director like Murphy, who has a film that can grossing more than $1 billion worldwide, and other films that can basically achieve five times the cost at the box office, is naturally the best among them.

But although his classification level is very high, there are not many production companies invited to cooperate, and Murphy's high salary and dividends will also discourage many people.

The collaboration between Studio Stanton and Twentieth Century Fox has been a pleasure, and to paraphrase Murphy's time on the other side of the Pacific, the two have established a relatively strong strategic partnership.

After four shots, the dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz was finally approved by Murphy, and the filming of the whole film ended.

After announcing the completion of filming, Murphy temporarily handed over the crew to Gal Gadot, took Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill, two people, out of the warehouse set and accepted an interview with a media reporter invited by Twentieth Century Fox.

The end of filming not only means that post-production is about to start in full swing, but also marks that the publicity and promotion of the film will be more and more intensive.

Facing media reporters, Murphy and the three talked about some of their feelings about filming one by one.

"The most difficult thing is the lines, I've never encountered such a long monologue in my life, there is a whole four pages as much, Murphy writes really well!"

Someone like Robert Downey Jr., whether it's small talk or an interview, never lacks words, "That kind of emotional ups and downs are like bungee jumping, I really feel like I'm going to throw up, I should have made a passionate speech in front of a lot of people, but in the end my throat seems to be blocked." ”

"I'm still nervous about filming, and being a director is a scary and wonderful thing." Compared to Robert Downey Jr., Murphy simply said, "But I enjoy the feeling, especially being able to work with my friends." ”

Jonah Hill faced this interview with a rare seriousness, "I love different types of films, I like to show my comedy side, but playing "The Wolf of Wall Street" is simply the best opportunity in the world, and it is basically acting in his true colors, in fact, there are many passages in the film that you can put into a comedy." ”

Subsequently, the film moved on to post-production, and no sooner had this phase of work begun than Bill Rothes gave Murphy good news and a very special invitation. (To be continued.) )
