Chapter 48 Book in advance
Judy? Foster figured out the meaning of Che Xzhen, not only blushed and was angry and happy, but also raised his hand to symbolically hit Caesar twice.
Faced with Caesar's occasional stinky hooligan habits, the three women not only got used to it, but also found some little pleasure in it.
In addition to the actors, although there are several temporary staff members in the crew, most of them are Fox employees, and they say they are used to the intimate interaction between the boss and the CEO.
Although Caesar is the boss, he is not an old man in his seventies and eighties, and he does not need to show any majesty in front of the employees, and he can do whatever he wants, which is the advantage of being young.
For three days in a row, Caesar can be regarded as finishing the filming of the black and white double brake to retrieve the lockbox.
Samuel's dedication, Jules's one-man show will always be so appealing, but there are devout believers in the crew who say that the Bible that Jules reads is very problematic.
The book of Ezekiel in the Bible, 25:17, consists of two sentences that mean that God is angry and punishes sinners and makes them aware of God's existence.
This dialogue was first used in the original performance by Samuel? Jackson expanded a lot of sentences in an improvised way, and the result was so good that Quentin memorized it and became a fixed line.
Caesar brought this passage of the "Apocrypha" as it was, and Samuel recited this passage on the set of filming was particularly good, but everyone felt weird after listening to it.
Peter? Anderson pondered for a long time, but didn't say anything, thinking that he didn't remember everything, or that he had slipped away when he was reading the Bible.
Judy asked directly, "Is Ezekiel 25:17 that long?" ”
Everyone's answer is either unclear, or categorically said that it is not so long.
And there are a lot of tyrannical words in this apocryphal passage, although God in the Bible is not a kind and good-natured God, but it is definitely not as tyrannical as Jules's mouth.
Such a parody of the Bible may seem out of place, but it is completely in line with Jules's killer setting.
That's how he understood the Bible, so he didn't show any mercy when he killed "sinners" in God's place. There's even a ritual to be held.
Overall, this Jules-centric chamber scene is full of surprises and controversy, but for Caesar, the innocuous controversy can only be good for the film's box office.
On the fourth day, the biggest sensation in the crew was when Caesar's father Li Yi in his previous life first entered the crew and put on the character costume.
Caesar's dad has a skill inherited from Caesar's grandfather. That is, hand-rolled tobacco is rolled in seconds.
The first to discover this skill was photographer Pete? Anderson, when Li Yi was just sitting on the chair and talking to Pete, his hand took out the cigarette paper and homemade tobacco very casually, and put the tobacco on the cigarette paper quickly and evenly as he spoke.
But when Pete found out that Li Yigang had already lit the rolled cigarette in his mouth and took a beautiful puff, Pete was stunned to find a question: When did he finish it?
In fact, after the tobacco was laid, Li Yigang just used the thumb, index finger and middle finger of his two hands to instantly twist the cigarette paper and then turn it, and the whole cigarette was completed.
The whole process doesn't take a second. In the next second, a whole cigarette was already in the mouth and lit.
Moreover, the whole cigarette is rolled delicately and elegantly, and there is no roughness at all that is done in a hurry.
This discovery surprised Pete, he had seen many people who smoked handmade cigarettes, and none of them could do what Li Yigang did. The point is, during the conversation, he learns that the other person smokes a maximum of five cigarettes a day......
The smoking age is not long, and the daily smoking is very small, and there is this kind of speed, which can only be said to be a special talent, right?
Caesar before introducing Daddy. After discussing it, I decided that I should choose an English name.
The United States in the late eighties. Chinese-style English has not yet become popular, and "kong-fu", "long-time-no-see" and even Chinese names have no sense of identity.
After the turn of the millennium, many Chinese in the United States have been able to register their names directly on their driver's licenses in Hanyu Pinyin, and school teachers, classmates, company bosses and colleagues will directly call a Chinese by their first name, with the surname first. The name is in the back, there is no problem.
But in the 80s, I'm sorry, if the Chinese want to live in the United States, it's better to have an English name that is common to Americans.
Even Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat in the 90s were not exempt from vulgarity. Not to mention Bruce Lee, who is so awesome, he still has to get a blues? Plum.
Caesar's father eventually chose the name given to him by the American professor who taught him English in the first place, "rupert" which translates to "rupert".
This name shocked Caesar at the time, and said that Daddy is going against the sky, and the full name of News Corp boss Murdoch is "Rupert?" Murdoch".
Tong Guò plays the role of Mr. Wolf in "Pulp Fiction", Rupert? Lee officially made his Hollywood debut.
In fact, there was an episode when the name was first given, originally Caesar's dad was named Robert by the professor? Lee, but was rejected by Caesar's father.
It is unknown whether the American professor was deliberately insulting, but Caesar's father reacted quickly.
A mention of Robert in the United States? The name Li first represents a famous general who was erected everywhere by later generations. But no matter how much he is touted by the Americans, the unchanging fact is that he is a slave owner, and he also reveals the idea that "to enslave blacks is to educate them."
Robert, exactly? Lee is a white supremacist, and the American professor gave the name of a white supremacist to a yellow man...... It's hard to tell whether Caesar's father overinterpreted it or whether the other party had ulterior motives.
Conspiracy theories aside, the name Robert still sounds good in English, Robert? Baggio, Robert? Donnie, Robert? Morality? Niro, or even Robert of the Italian team in The King of Fighters? Garcia, because of these famous Roberts, people always have a surname that is Italian, or of Italian origin.
At least the previous celebrities are related to Italy, there is no doubt about that. In the end, it was Caesar's father who chose this "Rupert", who was similar to Robert, among the alternatives offered by the professor.
It's just that the former is an Italian name and Rupert is a German name.
Caesar's father lived for thirty years, and everyone called him Li Yigang. Or "Gangzi", "Dagang" or something, and suddenly one day it became "Rupert...... Not to mention, it's really going to take a while to get used to.
Because even ten years ago he knew that his English name was "Rupert? Lee", but no one has ever called him that except for the American professor.
On the set, he would often be called by others several times before he would realize that "Rupert" was calling him.
Such a confused Rupert. During the filming of the chapter "Bonnie's Situation", people began to pay attention to the change in his temperament.
When Mr. Wolf, who he played, finished dealing with the mess left by the black and white, sat in front of the window against the light, and began to talk to Kevin? When Jimmy, played by Paisi, communicates, everyone on the set begins to fall completely silent and watch Rupert's performance.
Rupert's "light-speed cigarette" skill shines again, and people only feel that there is a burning cigarette in his mouth.
When he asked Jimmy with a blank face, "Are your uncle and aunt millionaires?" And then took out the hundred-dollar bills tied together with rubber bands. There was only one thought on everyone's minds on the set, and that was "That's so cool!" ”
Even Caesar, who had seen a lot as a time-traveler, had this idea without exception.
The coolness of Daddy Caesar's performance is not the kind of middle and second disease living in his own world, nor is it the so-called pretending to be bluffing, but a kind of calmness that goes deep into the bone marrow.
It's really a feeling of, "There's nothing that can't be solved."
As long as he appears in everyone's sight, even if he doesn't speak, he will make people feel reassured.
This feeling is too deadly for a woman, and the two actresses who play Phoebe and White Rabbit have long targeted Rupert, a super attractive Chinese. That momentum wasn't just about preparing for something to happen, Caesar could see it clearly. That's a look of "want a result".
This kind of thing, whether as a son or as a director, Caesar has the obligation to control, so in the end, those things that shouldn't have happened didn't happen.
The filming progressed quickly, and the only thing that made Caesar feel bad was the effect of the lockbox when it was opened.
That golden glow can easily be mistaken for gold, but in fact, the original director Quentin never revealed what was in the box.
According to the capacity of the box, if it is a box full of gold bricks. It's going to be very heavy, and it's not going to be as light as Jules's box.
If it's not gold, then what is it that emits that dazzling yellow light?
In Caesar's previous life, some fans had a big brain, guessing that it was the soul of the boss Marsha, and the large band-aid attached to the back of the old brain was a brain hole. That's where the soul comes out.
The boss mortgaged his soul to the devil, it may be Satan, and he exchanged his soul for something, which is not explained in the film, but Jules and Vincent performed the task of retrieving the box, and it may be the soul that was mortgaged.
Such speculation is only due to the fact that the password of the box is three sixes, which are well known in the West as demonic numbers, and are peculiar to the existence of the anti-God zài.
These secrets and speculations are among the enduring elements that have shaped Pulp Fiction for more than two decades.
Caesar took great pains to get the yellow light after the box was opened, LED lights were the first choice, but that kind of light was too fake, and at a glance it was a kind of light emitted by a lamp, which didn't look illusory and magical enough.
If the box is really covered with a layer of gold leaf, the golden glow is really not noticeable.
After a variety of light and light source knowledge, Caesar's final plan was to block the outside of ordinary incandescent lamps with a mask that could transmit light.
The light is neither dazzling nor does it feel like a light. The light from the incandescent lamp is filtered through a gauze-like filtering system, giving it an illusory effect.
Caesar worked so hard to carve this light that the crew finally focused their attention on the box.
Everyone discovered that no one knew what was in the box during the whole movie, from the script to the filming set on the set, from the director's mouth to every staff member.
Caesar, the screenwriter, actor, and director, doesn't know what's in the box himself.
During a lunch break, Judy couldn't help but ask Caesar, the box carried by the two killers was mysterious, and the password was so special, what was inside?
Caesar hesitated for less than ten seconds. Or decided to tell the truth.
"I don't know."
This sentence can be regarded as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and many people near Caesar came over to listen to the "director's explanation".
Seeing that so many people were paying attention to this, Caesar couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"When I first wrote the script, I thought that there was something that was very important to Marsha, and I didn't think of what it was. Since this thing was thought of at the beginning, it was packed in a box, so it didn't matter what it was, and since the plot had a box, you could continue to go down, so I forgot about the contents of this box.
All I can say is that the box is the main task of black and white. ”
Cut!
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Judy? Foster sat next to Caesar and covered his lips and snickered.
After this time together, Caesar and Judy feel very good about each other. Judy, in particular, has been giving Caesar a little bit of a little girl who has been traumatized by Hinckley lately.
Yes. Caesar describes Judy as a little girl who has been wounded.
Hinckley's assassination of Reagan brought great pressure and psychological damage to Judy, which could not be calmed down in a short time, especially for Judy at that time, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world.
Beneath Judy's strong exterior, the little girl in the corner hugging her knees and crying bitterly in the corner was only visible to Caesar.
In the process of exchanging feelings between the two, Caesar always cautiously approached the little girl hidden in the depths, approaching her little by little, hinting at her. Not all men are crazy.
It wasn't until Caesar got a blood that the two of them really reached a bond. Judy opened up to Caesar completely.
Since then, Judy? Foster, the goddess of the royal sister, would occasionally show a demeanor and movements that only belonged to little Lori in front of Caesar.
If Hinckley saw Judy's little girl's demeanor, he would probably immediately go berserk and do something even more terrifying.
A month later, Samuel? Jackson is finished, and Caesar's daddy is finished. Robbing two couples, Tim? Ross and his little white rabbit are finished, and the loli-faced daughter-in-law of the boxer in the gold watch plot is also finished.
The final highlight falls on the two chapters of the Golden Watch and Marsha's Wife.
These two chapters are the highlight of the film, one is that the boss played by Tyson is stuffed by a pervert and dragged to the basement to explode chrysanthemums
The second is the interactive chapter of Caesar and Emily. The two men tease each other, banter, twerk barefoot, and then the classic overdose of haw, with a pin passage marked on the chest.
When Willis was a child, a U.S. military officer held a gold watch and faced the child with a "book of hu" (a serious nonsense) that Caesar valued the most.
In this paragraph, Caesar was cast in the original as well as Robert? De Niro and Al? There was a lot of confusion between the three of Pacino.
As a result, his choice was almost committed, and he was surprised to find that he had no choice but to choose.
This paragraph definitely makes the audience laugh, no matter who plays these three people, they can meet the requirements in Caesar's heart, and they can only be better and not too bad.
In the end, Caesar chose whoever had the right schedule to let him go, and whoever had a strong desire to let go.
As a result, Al? After Pacino got the script, he called Caesar overnight and asked to play the role, which only had a long shot.
And, Pacino said that he loved this movie so much that he couldn't love it just by reading the script. If you don't let him play a role, he's going crazy.
Caesar looked, gotcha! It's just that you didn't run.
As for the salary? People didn't think that for Pacino, it would be great to be able to play a role, and if there were a lot of lines, it would be at the level of a Christmas gift.
The role of an officer in this gold watch, Pacino expressed great satisfaction.
When he asked Caesar who the candidates for this role were, Caesar replied that there was Pacino, De? Nile and Christopher? Walken.
Hear this answer, Al? Pacino looked surprised, he took a closer look at Caesar's young face, and finally shook his head and sighed.
"You're an amazing young man, and I'm not saying that because you're the president of the club, it's your answer.
In the whole of Hollywood, there are no more than five people who can play this officer role well, and three of them have been put on your shortlist.
I have to say, you really are a genius in art. You must know that this role must have a feeling that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, not just a tough guy or a gangster who can play it if he wants to. ”
"That's right! What I fancy is an indescribable feeling in the three of you, I am not as powerful as you, I have seen five, I have only seen the three of you, I can only look for the three of you. Caesar was praised miserably, and was accidentally praised by the actor, although he was secretly happy in his heart, he pretended to be a person on the surface.
"I've memorized all the lines, and now there's no problem, why don't we do it again first, and you can see the effect?" Pacino is a meticulous person at work, and his acting skills are good and efficient. Half a month of filming a scene, NG hundreds of times is not his style.
Caesar is the type of person who respects me and respects me, and he directly asked Pacino to put on a military uniform, called in the lights, props and cameraman, and played the supporting actress of his mother, and then began to shoot officially.
"Haha! I like you, Caesar Kid, your style of doing things is so much with my appetite that I think we must have a lot of opportunities to work together. ”
"That's inevitable, Al, no director in the world will miss you." Kaisa agreed very simply, and said in his heart that the blind lieutenant colonel still expects your old man to perform extraordinarily, how can he not say hello in advance? (To be continued......)
