Chapter 118: Nightmare Experience
The scene of the "Glutton" scene is built on a platform, suspended above the ground, surrounded by walls, the crew wraps all the places with plastic sheeting, and the corners are painted with petroleum jelly, and you can smell a pungent smell of rot as soon as you enter the set.
"They're not really going to get a corpse to put in there, are they?" Charlize gagged his nose with his hand and turned to ask the staff member who had come in with the two of them.
"It's all expired ketchup, and we set it up a week before filming, and Director Locke says it's the most realistic way possible." The staff member took out two masks and handed them to Charlize and Shay.
"Thank you!" Shay put on his mask, and the pungent smell finally subsided a little.
As soon as I took a step forward, I felt something pop under my feet.
When I lifted my foot to look, it was a cockroach that had been trampled on.
"Oh, shit!" When Shay saw this thing, his hairs stood on end, and he couldn't help but complain: "This thing is also attracted by the strange smell?" ”
Charlize subconsciously looked under his feet, for fear that he would step on one too, and he would die of disgust.
The staff member grabbed a guy passing by, "Charlie, you found those little things running around, go check those boxes!" ”
"It may be the fish that were released yesterday for experiments, and I guarantee that those boxes are sealed." The other party left without looking at Shay and Charlize at all.
"Are you kidding me? Did you find these cockroaches yourself? Shay suddenly felt the urge to turn around and leave.
"Mr. White, although the environment here is indeed very suitable for cockroaches to grow, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for them to reproduce as much as they need for filming, so the props team had to find some from outside and prepare to release them during filming. We wrap everything in plastic sheeting just to control them, because as soon as you let them out and shine a flashlight on them, they will scatter into the wood and escape. ”
"Alright, you don't have to go any further." Shay interrupted the staff's introduction, and he was about to vomit after listening to it again, "Take us directly to Jude, I don't want to stay in this place for a minute, and I'll leave right away after a few words with him." ”
Charlize nodded as well, and she realized that coming to Jude today was really not the right decision.
"Director Locke should be putting on makeup at this time, please follow me."
Led by the staff, Shay and Charlize quickly found Jude, who was discussing things with photographer Ayman Ruhr.
"Why are you here?"
Jude casually handed the folder to a staff member nearby, then glanced at Shay and Charlize.
"I'm in New York to take care of some things, so I'll stop by and have a look." Shay looked around, and the environment in the dressing room was normal, at least there was no strange smell in the air, and there were no cockroaches crawling around on the floor.
"Then you didn't come at the right time." Jude pursed his lips, then reminded with a serious face, "Don't mention anything about food here, don't even think about it." ”
Shay held back the feeling of a tumbling stomach and asked about Denzel Washington.
"Denzel is putting on makeup in there, and it should be coming out soon." Jude pointed back.
At this moment, the door of a powder room in the back was pushed open, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it.
It's a pity that it wasn't Denzel Washington who came out, but a big fat man who was horribly fat.
His skin was unusually pale after makeup, and his body was covered with veins, which made him look extremely horrible.
"This is Bob, the special actor that the crew brought in to shoot this scene, he was in the dressing room for ten hours before you came, and he was going to play a dead body in the movie." Jude said.
Seeing this person walking towards the set with difficulty with the support of the staff, Shay couldn't help but ask: "God, how much does he weigh?" ”
"479 kilograms." After Jude reported this number, he couldn't help but feel a little upside down.
Shay suddenly became a little curious, "I remember that in the scene of 'Gluttony', the deceased ended up drowning in a basin, how are you going to let him act in this scene?" ”
"He sat in a chair with a scuba apparatus in his mouth, buried his face in a bowl of pasta, and breathed through a tube."
Through Jude's description, Shay could already imagine what it would look like.
"After its release, this scene will definitely become a nightmare in the hearts of many audiences."
As soon as Shay finished expressing his feelings, the photographer Aiman Ruhr, who was standing on the side, immediately took over and said: "You don't have to wait for the release, it is almost a nightmare for the entire crew by now." ”
"Okay, it seems that I really didn't come at the right time, and this scene will be filmed in a few days?" Shay turned to look at Jude.
"If it goes well, it's a day or two."
"Then I'll come back to you in two days."
"Okay, I'll go to the shooting site to confirm, I'm missing first." Jude was willing to waste so much time explaining mainly to deal with Shay, he wasn't even interested in knowing why Charlize appeared, and turned away with a word.
Charlize rejected Shay's suggestion to leave with Shay, and quickly caught up with Jude, who was walking towards the filming set.
"Locke, I know you're busy right now, but I'm only taking up ten minutes of your time, and I'll leave right away."
Jude raised his hand and looked at his watch, and replied with a blank face, "Five minutes!" ”
Charlize knew that Jude was really not in the mood to talk nonsense with him now, so he didn't waste time, and said directly: "I think the role you arranged for me is too simple, and there are problems with that plot, how can a lawyer's wife seriously cooperate with the police in a few words of reassurance?" I think the character could be set up to be a little more complex, for example, she has an extramarital affair and is found out by an experienced black police officer and used it as a threat to force her to cooperate with the police investigation. ”
"That's a good idea, but in that scene you're just a prop for the two male leads, and all I need is a prop, you know what I mean? Save your acting ideas for Sommos during the filming of "National Treasure". ”
