Chapter 540: Let's Talk
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
There was silence outside the set, and even Margot Robbie, who talked a lot, kept her mouth shut, because the filming in front of the green screen had begun, and the progress of the shooting was not ideal, Henry Cavill frequently had problems, either his expression was not in place, or there was a problem with his lines, and Murphy was already a little angry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not only Gal Gadot, but also people who are familiar with Murphy can see this, they know that Murphy will not get angry easily, but they don't dare to make a noise indiscriminately, in case of disturbing the shooting, the consequences may be serious.
“cut!”
Gal Gadot heard Murphy shouting again, "Take a five-minute break, Jack, touch up Henry's makeup!" Well done Henry! But you can do better! ”
Filming paused, and Margot Robbie muttered to Gal Gadot, "It's really typical Murphy style." ”
Gal Gadot smiled, "It's better than being angry, right?" ”
Margot Robbie nodded solemnly, "Actually, what actors want to hear most is encouragement, and getting angry is more counterproductive." ”
It's not the first time she's worked with Murphy, and there have been times when she's not feeling good, and the right encouragement can go a long way to restore confidence.
Sure enough, Henry Cavill's performance is getting better and better, and after another shoot, he is gradually on par with Liam Neeson.
Like Margot Robbie said earlier, this scene is a conversation about anger, determination, and revenge.
A bonfire was lit in front of the green screen, the flames hunting in the wind of creation, the firelight illuminating the faces of Liam Neeson and Henry Cavill.
Gal Gadot looks over and can see Murphy standing behind the main camera, observing every movement and expression of the two actors, as if he is about to stop at any moment.
However, Henry Cavill, who had been in poor form before, finally found his senses.
"You're strong, better than I thought." Liam Neeson added dry wood to the fire and said to Henry Cavill, who was staring into the distance, "You are stronger than your father." ”
Henry Cavill turned his head and looked at the other man, "You don't know my father. ”
"But I understand the anger in your heart!"
Compared to Henry Cavill, Liam Neeson has been outstanding, "Your anger makes you forget your pain for a while, until you can't bear to miss your loved ones, and one day you wish they didn't exist so that your pain would go away." ”
Henry Cavill showed a slightly puzzled look, and Liam Neeson said calmly, "I haven't always been alone, I have had a wife, the love of my life, she was brutally killed, I learned like you not to condone bad people, you must not show mercy to them, anger gives you a lot of strength, if you can't control it, it will ruin you, anger almost ruined my life." ”
"How do you calm your anger?" Henry Cavill asked.
"Revenge!"
"It didn't work for me."
"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Chris? ”
These two sentences show the philosophical differences between Chris Dann and Reina, and they are bound to part ways in the end.
“cut!”
Murphy suddenly shouted to stop, Gal Gadot saw him beckoning and called the two actors over, and then Murphy's voice faintly came, "Liam, your expression is a little too much, you are not a bad person, you are just holding on to the idea of you and the organization you represent, you think that evil must be eliminated and a new order is rebuilt on the ruins, in Reina's heart, this is a very correct opinion, and I am convinced." ”
Then, Gal Gadot saw Murphy turn to Henry Cavill, "Henry, this time is good, but I need you to be better, you have to express the anger and fear hidden in your heart"
"I'm sorry," Henry Cavill's apologetic voice rang out, "I haven't adjusted. ”
Gal Gadot can see that Murphy is very demanding, even if it is a very commercial film, he does not relax in the slightest.
As a producer, Gal Gadot has had enough friendships with Murphy to know that the performance of the actors is very important to the whole film, because the whole film is in a dark realistic style.
This requires not only the realistic characters, but also the fictional city of New York, where darkness, corruption, murder, and crime envelop the whole of New York. Bare. The naked show to the audience makes people feel that this is not a movie or a fantasy, but a reality in front of them.
The filming has been going on for so long, Gal Gadot can also see that compared to the action scenes, Henry Cavill's performance is really average, many scenes that need to express the protagonist's character and heart, without more than ten or twenty NGs, it is impossible to complete, this scene is the same, after filming a full twenty times, she heard Murphy shout through.
This is not to say that Henry Cavill is not dedicated enough, his work attitude is actually very serious, Gal Gadot believes that Henry Cavill's acting skills are young on the one hand, and on the other hand, he just treats the film as an ordinary commercial production, focusing only on action and ignoring the heart of the character, but Murphy's film style is already doomed, and it will definitely not work to play Chris Dane in the same way as other Hollywood commercial film characters.
Gal Gadot felt that Murphy should have a good talk with Henry Cavill, maybe he had been too busy lately, and Murphy might have overlooked this, and when he got home, he could remind Murphy of it.
As the filming continues, Gal Gadot looks at the time and prepares to go back to his office.
"Why don't you look at it?" Margot Robbie asked in a low voice.
Gal Gadot replied in a whisper, "I made an appointment to meet someone from a third-party guarantee company. ”
Margot Robbie nodded, and after watching Gal Gadot leave, her eyes turned to the set again, although there has been no filming of the heroine in the last two days, she can not come here at all, but she still comes on time every day, since everyone knows that she has a lot to do with this crew, then she must work hard to make those who envy, jealous and hateful speechless.
Watching Murphy shoot one after another, Margot Robbie remembered the other directors she had worked with, and among the directors she had met, Murphy was both the most talented and the hardest-working one.
At the end of the day's shooting, Murphy returned to the pull room, as in the past, to continue to review today's shots and adjust the shooting plan for the next day, and as a director, he could not relax for a moment.
The entire crew had to work under his coordination and assignment.
Murphy knows very well what he wants on the set, and has made it very clear to the crew what he wants, if what they present is different from what he explains, then Murphy must repeatedly emphasize his needs, such as what he needs and how big the scene, what time is the aperture, how much side backlighting, the effect of the live ambient sound, and the scheduling and positioning of the shot.
A day on the set is like a set of dominoes, from the arrival of personnel, setting up the scene, lighting up, setting up the camera position, actor makeup, moving, shooting, recording, script monitoring, collecting and reviewing materials and preparing for the next day's shooting.
Sometimes, the pressure on the set makes it difficult for Murphy to see things clearly, and even to feel what is happening in front of him.
Fortunately, Gal Gadot took over the production and financial issues, which did not occupy too much of Murphy's energy, but sometimes, due to stress, Murphy would feel exhausted as soon as he arrived on the set, and he had no extra energy to experience the performance at the moment, which was obviously a team, but in fact it was a one-man battle.
The scene props are wrong, the lighting is not ideal, the camera framing is wrong, and the lens scheduling cannot be connected.
The effect that came out of this way was too far from the original design effect to be compromised, and it made him crazy.
In this way, it is better to stop shooting.
In fact, after so many years of being a director, under huge pressure, he also had an impulse in his heart, he really didn't want to shoot anymore, and it was very difficult to persevere.
But this was the path he chose, and he persevered in the end.
At the beginning, the work and dead knots inside and outside the crew were carried by him, the director, but fortunately, the friends who helped came one after another, and then there was the current mature production team.
However, the team has always been in and out, such as this time Philip Raschel had a temporary accident, because his assistant was poached, which caused the crew to run poorly, and also reminded Murphy to always pay attention to replenishing the most important creative positions.
What kind of creator is considered excellent? Qualified? Are the existing personnel perfectly suitable? Murphy was also watching the status of each member of the core team.
First of all, the crew must understand and accept these responsibilities that he has for this project, understand the importance of the work, and ideally, the people he chooses need to have the same values.
Also, the positioning type of this film, the concept of the story, what angle to use to understand the story, what techniques to use and how to present it, who people in the team can do these jobs, whether his style is in line with the play, and how to communicate.
ability, perform their duties, generally organize according to reasonable specifications, and contribute practical ideas and suggestions to the crew with their majors.
When he, the director, is busy directing the actors, the director of photography has to take the technical staff to make all the necessary decisions, the technical staff should ask the director of photography questions instead of asking the director, the executive director, the executive producer and the director of photography have to share the unnecessary burden for the director, and the director only needs to devote his energy to the direction of the shooting.
When it was completely dark, Murphy and Gal Gadot returned to Beverly Hills in a car, and Gal Gadot briefly recounted the day's findings and said to Murphy, "I think you should have a good talk with Henry Cavill." (To be continued.) )
