"Next play! The props team is here, fix the scene, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Fassbinder, come here and get ready! Albert's voice echoed through the streets, Tom and Lance retreated behind the monitors, the crew began to walk out, and the otherwise quiet crew began to bustle again, everyone preparing for the next scene.

In the blink of an eye, it has been five days since I entered the crew, because the crew must wait until after dark to start filming, and before dawn must end the shooting, so the entire shooting progress has been strictly controlled.

So far, Tom Cruise has completed three consecutive days of filming, and Shun Lì has completed Vincent's debut and first murder mission. The filming process was a bit bumpy, and everyone was looking for the right state, hoping to get through the run-in period and let the crew run quickly.

Michael moved his limbs with some excitement, today was his first day on the stage, and the mixture of anticipation and nervousness made him a little restless, and he kept tiptoeing back and forth in place. All the actors, including him, are now gathered around Albert, listening to the filming process of the next scene and the direction of the camera track.

"Can you settle down a bit?" Mark only felt that there was a jumping bean active in his vision, which made it difficult for him to concentrate, and he rolled his eyes and stopped the other party.

Michael tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, stopped his movements, and whispered, "I'm sorry." Michael knows that he is just a nobody, struggling to find his place; And worse, he's German — or rather, he's not American, in Hollywood. Outsiders are always under some pressure, not just Asians, Africans or Latinos, but Europeans are also under a lot of pressure in Hollywood.

Mark is an actor who has made masterpieces and is also an actor who has proven his strength. So, Michael always lowered his posture in front of him, hoping to learn more.

Yesterday, while preparing for the role, Michael found out that Mark actually started trimming his beard. He asked curiously, and Mark took the initiative to tell him that the beard is also part of the character, and in order to reflect the character's personality, different characters have different beard habits, so he first grew the beard, and then trimmed it, just to better show the character of Richard.

This made Michael suddenly realize that Mark and Lance had previously emphasized the "performance details", so Michael also trimmed his beard today. In his opinion. Fanning is a young, energetic police officer/detective who is full of ambition and wants to make a difference, but Fanning spends most of his time on the streets, dealing directly with drugs/dealers, so Fanning should have a beard, just a simple care, not too clean, and even a little sloppy - forgetting to sleep and eat in order to solve the case.

Special details. It really helps in the shaping of the character.

Therefore, Michael felt Mark's pride, but he did not feel uncomfortable in his heart, but apologized in a low voice. Mark didn't say much either. Muttered, but before Michael could hear clearly, Albert turned his head and looked at the two of them, causing both of them to close their mouths and refocus.

"Alright. Now there is a problem, as much as kuài mentioned. Albert looked at everyone around him, and in addition to Michael and Mark, there were some extras to play the police/detectives, and there would be about ten people on camera. After making sure everyone was okay, Albert clapped his hands, "Very good, everyone can start warming up, shoot in three minutes." ”

Lance, who was standing not far away, nodded to Tom, "You go over and rest, and when this scene is finished, I'll ask the assistant to call you." The filming of this scene was over, and the next scene would take at least 90 minutes or more, so Tom was going to go back to the RV to adjust, and Lance nodded in agreement.

Now Tom is still looking for a state, and he has struggled a little in the past few scenes, but fortunately, the opening scenes are not very difficult, and he just needs some guidance. Under the direction of Lance, Tom lowered the pitch, and through the changes in audio and sound quality, the purpose of making the sound texture settle down a little, and then creating that calm and steady calmness, quietly outlining Vincent's indifference. Although the process was not easy, Tom finally met the standard required by Lance.

Tom nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked in the direction of the RV, although it was only five days after the start of filming, he felt that he had been on the crew for five years, which made his steps a little heavy, and the irritable mood could not tell whether it was anger or frustration.

He hadn't taken a few steps before there was a commotion behind him, and Tom subconsciously turned around to look over, and then saw Lance standing in front of the two young actors, and the frowning eyebrows could be faintly seen under the thin light, and the dark eyebrows like mountains outlined his anger at the moment.

On the one hand, he barely had any time to rest, and he was like a spinning top on the crew, working for only five days, but the heavy work made the respite invaluable; On the one hand, Tom's performance has not progressed much, and almost every scene needs to be readjusted, although the filming plan has not been delayed, but Lance is worried that if this state continues, the next scenes will definitely be enough.

So, in such a situation, even trustworthy actors like Mark and Michael have problems, as if the entire "Kill with a Knife" crew is on fire everywhere, so Lance did not hide the anger between his eyebrows, "Did I say it clearly enough, or is there a problem with your understanding?" I told you, don't add oil and vinegar to yourself, come over with a clean and tidy makeup, one qiē is enough! ”

Lance stared at Michael and Mark with his eyes fixed on him, then shouted, "Edgar! Edgar! Edgar Snow ran out briskly from the side, the noise of the entire crew gradually calmed down, everyone was watching the problems happening here, everyone could feel the huge pressure of the crew, "Edgar, these mustaches are your idea?" ”

Edgar saw the beards on Mark and Michael's faces and couldn't help choking, "No, of course not!" Lance had stressed to him that the police/detective's makeup had to be clean, just look at the other extras, and Edgar absolutely followed Lance's guidelines.

Mark looked at the anger and ridicule in Lance's eyes, he knew that keeping his mouth shut was the best option at this time, but under impulse, his emotions were out of control. At the time of the initial audition, Lance almost despised his professional abilities - even when he got the role, he always believed that it was the result of Cole's intercession; Today again, he thought he had to explain it, so Mark took half a step forward, "This is my own idea!" ”

Lance turned his head and looked at Mark, the last second was still a stormy eye, this second it was actually calm, but the quiet sight was blooming with a terrifying light, which made Mark's heart twitch, but he still gritted his teeth and said loudly, "I think this is a supplement to the character, Richard is a pampered policeman/detective, he is used to taking care of himself, this is a status symbol......"

Lance sneered and interrupted Mark's explanation, Mark was immediately annoyed, and opened his mouth to raise his voice, "You are despising my profession as an actor!" ”

"Get out!" Lance didn't have any explanation, just pointed in the direction of the crew's opening, and roared at Mark, and the whole crew was silent in an instant. Michael, who was standing next to him, was at a loss because he had no idea what was going on, but the problem was that Cole didn't come to the crew today, which meant that no one could act as a buffer.

Mark was directly stunned by the yelling, he obviously didn't realize that his resistance actually led to such a result. But Mark was more puzzled, wasn't that what Lance wanted?

Lance swept his gaze to Michael, noticed the beard on Michael's chin, forced himself to suppress his anger, took a deep breath, then looked at Mark again, and said word by word, "Two choices, either shave your beard clean, or get out of the crew, there is no other possibility." ”

Edgar seemed to have something to say, but Albert, who was standing next to him, pulled his arm and motioned for him to shut up. The atmosphere was as stiff as an ice cellar.

Lance could see the pride and pride in Mark's eyes, and he could also see the uneasiness and panic in Michael's eyes, he was about to turn around and leave, but he still explained, "The Los Angeles Police Department/Inspectorate has officially stipulated that all police officers/inspectors on duty are not allowed to grow beards!" In order to write the script of "Murder with a Knife", Lance soaked in the library for so long, and even conducted field research, definitely not just to write a simple and crude commercial script.

"Whew", the sound of gasping can be clearly heard at the scene.

Lance raised his right hand and made a "two" gesture, emphasizing again, "Two choices." Then, Lance turned around and looked at the crew, "Shooting will start in five minutes." With that, Lance strode over to Hayden's position, casually discussing the use of the camera for the next scene.

Michael looked up and looked at the stunned Mark, trying to persuade something, but found that he was running out of words, and after hesitating for a while, he ran in the direction of the actor's public RV. In five minutes, he had to not only shave his beard clean, but he also had to put on new makeup and get ready for the shoot, and now there was no time to waste. (To be continued.) )
