Chapter 149: Paris

In front of the camera, Matt Damon crosses a road near the port with his hands in his coat pockets.

There was obvious doubt on his face, but the corner of his eye subconsciously paid attention to everyone who passed by him, and this subtle expression was completely captured by the camera, so that Jude, who was sitting in front of the monitor, directly forgot to stop.

Crossing the road, Matt Damon's scene is completed, but Jude's side did not stop, and he could not get out of the role, so he had to continue to walk forward.

Ayman Ruhr, who was holding a camera, was the first to stop, looking at Jude behind him suspiciously, not understanding what he was doing.

"It's over!"

After remembering Jude's instructions, the audience picked up the loudspeaker and announced.

The departments responsible for on-site sound reception, auxiliary shooting, and lighting all breathed a sigh of relief, and this section of the lens was shot continuously for more than three minutes, which was already considered a high-intensity shooting, and the most admired was the photographer Aiman Ruhr, who was strapped to a seven- or eight-pound Steadicam (camera stabilizer), and there were no mistakes in the whole process.

This is not only a matter of technology, but also of physical strength.

In order to be able to do the job as a cinematographer for "Spy", Ayman Ruhr also did a week of arm training, because Jude wanted the film to be shot by hand throughout the film, so as to create a near-real action movie image style.

In order to ensure that the lens did not shake violently, Emanluer had to rely on Steadicam, and the camera was in motion throughout the shoot, but because of the manual operation, the camera was usually aimed at the actors in parallel or at a 45-degree angle to shoot up and down. The frame is set from the perspective of the protagonist to create an immersive effect. Add to that tracking shots, or simply placing the camera on the ground to see the entire scene in a human visual experience. The audience follows the camera as if the protagonist is adventuring in various European countries, feeling the tension of being hunted down and killed all the time.

Jude believes that large scenes do not convey the horror of war well, so the filming process of "Spy Shadow" rarely uses panoramic shots, and only when showing a certain scene, it is specifically panorama, and more often uses medium shots, most often close-ups and close-ups.

This is extremely demanding for photographers, and in Jude's words, no one else can handle it, only Ayman Ruhr.

But the Mexican is now angry because of Jude's negligence. It caused a lot of trouble to his filming just now, and the most direct problem is that he still doesn't know Jude's attitude towards this scene.

Matt Damon broke away from the role in the play, and the first thing he asked was: "Is this scene passed?" ”

Ayman Ruhr pouted behind Matt Damon.

Matt-Damon turned his head to see Jude walking this way.

His first reaction was that something was wrong with him just now, and he was secretly reviewing it in his heart, but he didn't expect Jude to come over and pat him on the shoulder directly.

"I did a good job in that part just now, take a ten-minute break and prepare for the next shoot."

Three or two sentences sent Matt Damon away. Jude turned his head to look at Ayman Ruhr, who was unhappy.

"He acted really well just now, didn't he? Even I was so captivated by his performance that I forgot to stop it. ”

Ayman Ruhr thought Jude would say something sorry, but he didn't expect that this bastard not only didn't apologize but also deliberately showed off, which made him angry.

"I admit Matt Damon is a good fit for the role. But fame is his biggest shortcoming, and this can't be compared to Tom Cruise. ”

The smile on Jude's face froze, and he coughed awkwardly and said, "Wait for the first movie to be released." This question is no longer a problem. ”

In retaliation for Jude's actions just now, Ayman Ruhr deliberately said: "But the media doesn't seem to see it that way." ”

Jude shrugged helplessly. "The media has always been short-sighted, and for most entertainment media. They don't need the truth, but a hot topic that will catch the eye. ”

Emman Ruhr couldn't help but tease: "So a certain guy asked the heroine of the film to go to the best French restaurant in New York for dinner, and didn't forget to take a photo with the chef after the end, don't tell me this is also a kind of propaganda?" ”

"Please don't talk about it again, okay?" Jude now has a headache when he hears Sophie Marceau's name, because Kate has regarded the other party as a potential threat from the last time she dined at Jean Georges' restaurant, and has recently reminded Jude on the phone from time to time to keep her distance from the woman.

Although Jude tries hard to convince Kate to give up his worries, because Sophie Marceau is already married and nothing will happen between him and her, Kate doesn't think so, including Ayman Rull at this time.

"I heard that there seems to be something wrong with her marital status."

Jude found out that it was a complete mistake to come over and chat with Ayman Ruhr, when did this guy become so gossipy?

"She's officially on the set tomorrow, and I don't want any talk about that until then."

Jude's warning obviously didn't have much effect, and Aiman Ruhr continued to encourage him: "Actually, it's easy to understand, Sophie Marceau's husband is so much older than her, and the generation gap in age is not so easy to eliminate, especially now that the careers of the two people are two opposite extremes, divorce will only be a matter of time." ”

Jude's gaze suddenly became stern, and at this moment he resumed his identity as the director of the crew, instead of continuing to chat with Aiman Ruhr as a friend.

"Well, that's not what I said, it's what the French newspapers say." Aiman Rull shrugged, apparently realizing that the topic couldn't go on, or Jude would really go berserk.

Jude looked at the Mexican in front of him with some headache, "You have time to read those boring reports, you might as well spend more time thinking about how to make this movie well." ”

"I can only guarantee that there is no problem with the photography, but what if there is a problem with the actors?"

When it came to business, Aiman Ruhr also had a more serious expression on his face.

Jude frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Aiman Ruhr pointed to Matt Damon, who was talking to the sound engineer and said, "He's a good actor, I'll admit it!" But are you sure he won't have any problems playing opposite Sophie Marceau? ”

Jude clasped his hands and thought about it for a moment.

"You're saying there's going to be a problem with their coordination?"

Aiman Rull shook his head decisively, in fact it was not the problem that he was worried about.

"Both of them are very professional actors, I'm sure of that, plus you are the director of this movie, there must be no problem with the cooperation, but is it really appropriate to put the two of them together?"

Aiman Ruhr has always felt that Sophie Marceau is too beautiful and famous, if it is a commercial blockbuster like "Mission Impossible", it is definitely appropriate to choose her as the heroine, but "Spy Shadow" is a movie that emphasizes the real style, Sophie Marceau's appearance and her fame will cause a great obstacle to her playing the image of an unknown little woman in the film.

Jude's memory of the most intriguing character in the original "Spy" is probably the heroine of the film, in addition to the male protagonist Bourne, as a lightening passage between the mild violence and the action scenes, from the first encounter outside the U.S. Embassy in Zurich, the relationship between her character and Bourne makes the audience feel relaxed and natural.

As one of the few heroines in an action movie who is not a vase, Mary is a very important character in the story structure of "Spy", and her relationship with Byrne, in stark contrast to the cold assassin professor and the CIA commander, gives the whole story a living power.

Sophie Marceau was able to be moved by the script of "Spy", largely because the role of Mary gave her a completely different idea of the heroine of a commercial film, but as a photographer, Ayman Ruhr is obviously not too optimistic about whether she can play this role well.

"The fame is very big, which means that her image in the hearts of fans is relatively fixed, and breakthrough performances are not so easy to do, of course, this can be made up for through acting skills, so this is not the problem I am most worried about, the biggest problem is that she is too beautiful, standing in the crowd belongs to the type that will be remembered at a glance, this ordinary low-key actor is very contrasting. Sophie Marceau is suitable for a male lead partner like Tom Cruise or you, and with an actor like Matt Damon, the picture always feels a little incongruous. ”

"Can I interpret this as your compliments on me?" Jude made a joke with Ayman Ruhr, and it was clear that he wasn't particularly worried about the incident, as evidenced by the explanations that followed.

"The incongruity in appearance is solved through makeup, and in all seriousness, is Sophie Marceau's looks really the best among all French actresses? At least I don't think so, Emmanuel Bea, the heroine of "Mission Impossible", and Isabel Adjani, who became famous earlier than her, are actually more beautiful than Sophie Marceau in terms of appearance, do you admit this? ”

Aiman Ruhr hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Jude spread his hands, "So, the key to Sophie Marceau's fame is her unique temperament, natural and kind, which is why everyone likes her, and it is also the reason why I chose her as the heroine of this movie." ”

Ayman Ruhr was persuaded by Jude's reasoning, but he was still a little worried.

"And Damon's side?"

"I'm sure there won't be any problems with normal cooperation, but tomorrow Sophie Marceau will be in the first scene after joining the crew, I'm worried that there will be some trouble." Jude scratched at his hair with a bit of a headache.

Aiman Ruhr was stunned for a moment, and then thought that tomorrow would be the scene where the hero and heroine spend the night together in a hotel, although there was no direct nudity. The scene of exposure, the largest scene is the male protagonist taking off the heroine's shirt.

This level of drama is simply pediatric for Sophie Marceau, who has made a lot of French literary films, but it is estimated to be a big challenge for a "fledgling" like Matt Damon.

I don't know how Jude plans to solve this problem, but one thing Iman Rull is sure of is that we can have a good show tomorrow!

[Thank you for not giving up, this leave is a bit long, but I'm finally back, thank you!] (To be continued.) )
