Chapter 107 "Kidnapping and Robbery" is a strange crew
On the first day, Sean made it through a discussion about football by three men. This feeling makes Sean, an American tough guy, feel a sense of luck that he has escaped. Can you imagine how boring it would be for three men to discuss football and then you drink ten Cokes next to you? Can you imagine how embarrassing Sean would be if he had bitten more than a dozen straws?
Football?
Oh, when he heard this, Sean felt like his head was bigger. The only takeaway, though, is that Sean has a deep understanding of the rules of football.
At the very least, he knew that soccer was also a group of 11, which was exactly the same as American soccer, except that soccer had a goalkeeper, and no one else could touch the ball with their hands except the goalkeeper, and then ...... Just run.
The next day, Sean arrived on time with a character script and a crew guideline. Hell, this was the first time Sean had filmed a movie that had given him an inexplicable crew discipline charter that set out every rule that the cast and crew were to follow on the set, as well as the associated penalties.
£50 for one late arrival. Double for the second time. Then if you are late for more than half an hour, it is also doubled. There are rules for making and receiving phone calls, playing with mobile phones, and so on. In short, the first impression that this $10 million small investment movie gave Sean was that he was very disciplined.
There is a kind of unconscious rush. This made Sean come to the crew early, and then ......
"Sorry, man, you have to know that I have to make a transatlantic phone call with my lover across the ocean, so it's delayed, isn't it? So...... I guess I shouldn't be guilty, oh okay...... Look at your face, how much Dave!?"
On the first day of filming, Guy Ritchie, the director, was 40 minutes late.
"£50 for 30 minutes, £100 for 40 minutes, because you're the director, it should be £50 more, and then it's the first time, so I decided not to increase the price, a total of 150...... No, £200! Dave Reed, the assistant director, pressed the calculator angrily with a cigarette in his mouth, "Richie, thank you for giving you today's cigarette money." ”
£100 plus £50 equals £200? Looking at Guy Ritchie, who obediently paid for it, Sean felt that the British guys' math level was really bad. No wonder all their questions about calculations are handed over to accountants, and British accountants are supposed to be world-famous. With a group of such citizens, this profession is indeed the best profession in this country.
After paying the fee, Guy Ritchie took a loudspeaker and yelled at the many staff and actors who were watching the excitement at the scene, "Look at the lively bastards, it's time to start!" ”
Brad Pitt, the big star, did not join the group at the first time because of the schedule, and the shooting about him will be filmed together. Sean also enjoyed the favor of intensive shooting, and the first scene was filmed in Sean's role.
"You sit on the couch first...... You sit in the car, drive the car, and then wave your informant, hold his head between the glass window, and drive slowly. Remember, be ruthless and ruthless, and be sure to teach this scrawny bastard a lesson, and then get the words out of his mouth, understand? ”
Assistant director Dave Reed gestured to Sean, who was being changed by a makeup artist, "Man, you have to show your cool male nature, by the way, you can speak English with a slight Italian accent, I like Italians to speak English." ”
"So?" Sean adjusted his nasal voice and looked at Dave Reed, "Italian tone?" ”
"It's the tone of the mafia, you know, it's ......," Dave Reid thought for a moment and suppressed his voice to imitate, "Don't hate your enemies, that will affect your judgment." Oh yes, like Marlon Brando, cool husky voice. ”
Wearing a trench coat with a suit and white shirt underneath, and a bow tie around his neck, Sean turned to look at Dave Reed and lowered his voice, "Don't hate your enemies, that will affect your judgment...... Is that so? ”
Dave Reid blinked, and the makeup artist next to him shrugged. Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie were also drawn in, staring at Sean.
"Don't—hate—your enemy, that will - influence - your judgment?" Sean paused, thought for a moment and said to the makeup artist, "Add a ring to my hand, I think the action of touching the ring is cool, I want the ring finger size is too large, I hope it won't be too tight." ”
"As you wish." The makeup artist raised her eyebrows, and her movements were very sharp.
Then Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham saw an indifferent expression, wearing a trench coat and a dress, and Sean, who was completely dressed as a British gentleman, sitting on the leather sofa, with a big Malaysian golden knife, turning the ring on the ring finger of the other hand with one hand, his expression was very calm, his eyelids were raised, and his mouth was pursed, "Where did he last appear?" ”
"A casino." Seeing Sean say his lines, Guy Ritchie on the other side took the initiative to play.
"Casino?" Sean stopped touching the ring, his eyes didn't move, his head didn't deviate, and he paused, "Help me get the phone, Ah Hua." ”
The phone was handed over.
Jason Statham held the phone with a blank face.
Sean didn't answer the call, but stretched out his finger and tapped on the phone, signaling, "400-12345"
"Cool! Do you mean to have someone call for you? This one is cool enough. Guy Ritchie clapped his hands, glanced at Sean with a smile, and then glanced at Jason Statham and the others who patted him, "I hate it when people change my script, but I think I like this kind of play very much." What do you think? ”
"Very good."
"Cool."
In this way, Sean's first room scene was quickly filmed in the way Sean tried. Then there's the scene where Sean drives the New Yorker and his thugs to find an informant who knows the inside story.
This scene requires Sean to show a cold side, and as assistant director Dave Reid said, coldness is a characteristic of Tony's character.
"Are you okay, Lao Mu?"
"Haha, hello Tony......"
"Good tie......"
Tony, played by Sean, exchanged a few words with his insider, then grabbed the other party's tie, pulled his head into the car, and then pressed the glass window, hung the other party directly next to the car, and started by himself, looking very skilled.
Every time Sean showed his ruthless side, Guy Ritchie found that Sean seemed to be able to act more ruthless and bold, and then kept asking Sean to repeat the paragraph. In terms of the pursuit of perfection, Guy Ritchie has many common problems with directors.
And then......
Sean drove the unlucky informant into his glass window 13 times, drove him 16 times, loosened the glass and threw him away 19 times, and finally at the 20th time, the performance satisfied Guy Ritchie.
The guy who played the insider fell directly to the ground and almost collapsed from exhaustion.
During the lunch break, Matthew Vaughn, Guy Ritchie's gold medal partner, came to the crew and also brought the crew's boxed lunch.
"Oh, damn it, Matthew, can't you just add a little more biscuits and eggs? I'll be hungry in an hour eating these damn box lunches! Guy Ritchie looked at the tray in his hand and couldn't help but complain to Matthew Vaughn, who was drinking coffee not far away, "You know, we still have a lot of physical work in the afternoon. Can't we even guarantee biscuits, milk and eggs if we have financial difficulties? ”
"Richie, you don't understand that. Hunger helps with the performance and allows these guys to be more involved in the play, so I decided that the actors should control the food of cookies and eggs. Of course, in order to maintain the fairness of the crew, I think the directors in the crew should be the same as them, oh, by the way, I only have one cup of coffee for lunch today. Matthew Vaughn gestured for the coffee in his hand and looked at Guy Ritchie, "If you're not satisfied, I don't mind swapping with you." ”
"Fack!" Jason Statham, an honest man, couldn't help but give his middle finger up, and then peeked at the eggs and cookies in Sean's lunch box.
"Don't even think about it!" Sean took two bites of eggs and cookies into his mouth, then fixed his eyes on Jason Statham's lunch box.
"Don't beat my mind!" This guy is also quick to destroy food.
This kind of practice of asking the actor to control the amount of food he eats regardless of his fullness led to Sean being half-hungry for the next scene, and he was able to drink a few cups of coffee at most.
The strange saying of starving acting tricks is the first time Sean has heard it, and it is also the first time he has encountered it in the crew, which is very unique. But I don't know if Matthew Vaughn, the stingy producer, is really right, or Sean's self-psychological suggestion is at work, anyway, the filming of the scene in the afternoon went very smoothly, and maintaining this not too full state is really conducive to work.
Actually, there is some scientific truth to this. It has been scientifically proven that if you are really full, it is actually not conducive to work, and work efficiency will be reduced. Because the body needs a lot of energy to consume these foods, controlling satiety and maintaining this moderate state can better adjust the personal state to the best, which is indeed very conducive to work.
But even though it makes sense, it is still complained and complained by the actors. After all, no one likes to work on such an empty stomach, right?
Even the clumsy black fat driver who was temporarily caught by Guy Ritchie at the Peacock Stadium in London's East End to play the black trio couldn't help but complain a few times after work, which shows that Matthew Vaughn's trick is really "resented" by many people.
Where there is resentment, there will be revenge.
Sean carried a large bag of horseshoes and moved to the back of a Porsche, looked at Jason Statham, who was holding a cigarette and had an honest expression, and then looked at the rest of the actors, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you think it's really good for us to do this?" ”
"Maybe it's good for Matthew to get his new car in place."
Jason Statham opened the trunk of the Porsche with the car keys he secretly took from Matthew, then carried a bag of horseshoes and put it inside, clapping his hands, "We didn't get revenge on him for controlling the food, what do you say, Sean?" ”
"You're right, Jason, I find you kind." Sean also threw a large bag of horseshoes in the trunk of the Porsche, without a trace of guilt on his face.
"We're all very kind, I grew up in the Black Mayor, you grew up living with a bunch of rude cowboys, I think we all belong to that kind of ......"
"A man who has gone through hardships, but has not been struck down by life." Sean added.
“really!” Jason Statham pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Sean, "Are you going to smoke a cigarette, man?" ”
Then the two tough guys went into the corner and smoked.
Over the next few days, Matthew Vaughn began complaining that his Porsche was slow to start by slamming throttle and that the engine was always making hoarse sounds. It wasn't until he drove the car to the local garage that he discovered the real cause of the engine's hoarseness.
Of course, that's for later.
