Chapter 63: Do My Way

After talking to Ayman Ruhr, the Mexican photographer never came to Jude again to complain about similar issues.

The filming progress of "Two Big Smoking Guns" is still very fast, and occasionally one or two NG is also because the actors' movements are not in place, or there are goofs such as shooting equipment in the picture, and the whole crew has reluctantly accepted Jude's "laissez-faire" approach, everyone just wants to do their own thing, but they don't have much expectations for the whole movie.

At the same time, another pair of people in the crew were training over and over again with various prop guns in the residence of the four male protagonists.

Jude only occasionally found time to take a look here, but as the filming of other characters ended, he appeared here more and more, at first he was alone, and then the photographer Aiman Ruhr also followed from time to time, and after watching the actors' rehearsals, he would discuss with them for a while, and then many of the previously designed movements would be overturned.

Originally, Jude conceived that the number of people on both sides of the fight would not exceed 10, but soon this number increased to 15, and by the time the shooting plan was finalized, the number of actors involved in the filming of this scene had reached 30.

After many rehearsals, Ayman Ruhr had determined that the idea of filming the entire scene with a long shot of about 2 minutes was feasible, but it was only a matter of luck that the actors cooperated with each other during the shooting.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to get by like you did when "This Man Comes from Earth" was filmed, and if you're unlucky, you'll have to be prepared to keep wasting film.

Jude's attention to the filming of this scene is unprecedented, and he invested all the time and money saved in the previous scenes, which is completely incomprehensible to others.

In most people's eyes, no matter how wonderful this scene is, it is just a little more than 2 minutes of footage, which has a very limited impact on a movie of about 100 minutes.

Jude's idea of using a scene to save a movie is completely unrealistic in the eyes of many crew members.

Is there really a movie in this world that completely conquers the audience with just one scene? Jude's answer is also no, even those classic screen shots are highlighted by the plot and foil before and after the whole movie, and there has never been an example of how a movie can be made without a scene.

The reason why he put so much time, energy, and money into this scene is because Guy Ritchie's version of "Two Smoking Guns" is classic enough, so he is not worried that the rest of the film will not attract the audience, but needs a different gunfight scene to surpass the original work in memory.

Such an idea cannot be shared with others, and being seen by others naturally becomes a kind of paranoia.

"Are you asking too much of yourself?" Kate put a cup of coffee on the table in front of Jude, hugged him from behind, looked at the deconstructed scenes he had drawn by hand, and said with some concern.

Jude patted Kate's hand on his shoulder, turned back and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." ”

"Really?" Kate turned to Jude and put her arms around his neck, "But don't you think that working so hard has left your girlfriend in the cold?" ”

Jude put down what he was doing and took Kate into his arms. After the fight, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and the two not only began to live together, but also did not shy away from the reporter's camera when they went out, and directly appeared as a couple.

"When this movie is finished, shall we go on vacation to the Bahamas?"

Kate looked at Jude in surprise, but she didn't expect that Jude would remember what she mentioned casually at the beginning.

"Of course!" She happily leaned her head on Jude's shoulder, squeezed Jude's hand and said, "Recently, I saw some bad rumors about the crew in the newspaper, is there really nothing wrong?" ”

Jude stroked Kate's long hair at the back of her head and replied nonchalantly, "Do you mean the newspaper saying that I had completely given up on the film and that I didn't care about filming it at all?" Don't worry about those, this movie will definitely surprise when it comes out. ”

Kate looked up, her eyes sparkling at Jude.

"Surely the new line company will also see these reports, will they be indifferent?"

"I've actually had a phone call with Shay White and I've convinced him to ignore the reports."

"Really?" Kate couldn't believe it.

"Well, I know that this statement can't fool you." Jude smiled wryly and shrugged, "I actually had a big fight with Shay White, and he even threatened to change the director of the film, but I told him that now that the million pound budget has been spent by me, if he is willing to take out another money to find another director to accept, I don't have any problem on my side." ”

Kate's eyes became more and more gentle, and she gently leaned into Jude's arms and said, "I can imagine the other party's expression at that time." ”

It's not that Kate is soft-hearted and sympathetic to Shay White, but meeting a guy like Jude who doesn't play cards according to common sense is really enough to give the producers a headache.

Jude didn't tell Kate that another reason why he and Shay-White had a big fight was because Shay suspected that his main purpose in going to England was not to make a movie but to pick up girls, and others didn't know the truth about the last fight, but this incident couldn't hide from Shay-White's eyes, or that Jude didn't want to hide it at all.

Shay suspected that Jude was not seriously filming the new play, so the two sides broke out this quarrel.

In the end, it's not that Shay doubts Jude's ability, but he worries that Jude will be distracted by the ongoing romance and won't be able to concentrate on directing well.

Jude didn't want Kate to know about it, and although he had been spending more time in Kate's apartment than on the set in recent times, he wasn't spending that time dating Kate, but designing the director's script for the long-shot shootout.

To put it simply, the imagined scenes are presented on the drawing paper one by one, so that the actors and photographers can better understand the director's intentions.

Jude referred to many classic gunfight movies when designing, and he wanted the audience to watch the whole scene without blinking!
