During this time, Levy's entire mystery company can be said to be busy. The TV series is very busy on the TV series, and on the movie side, there is Resident Evil released, there is X-Men 2 shooting, as well as Levy's own movies and movies supporting Director Zhang. It can be said that during this time, blockbusters continued, keeping his company busy.

And in this busy film, Alexander is in charge of funding, Clark is in charge of actor recruitment, Bob is in charge of the script, Levy is in charge of special effects, and Michael and Jack are also not idle. Jack went to the set of X-Men 2 to continue acting, while Michael, on his side, was responsible for finding people to train the actors.

The film was a hassle for the special effects crew, and the same was true for the actors.

Some scenes in the movie can only be shot against a green screen background. For example, the virtual world of the Trimaran Star in this movie can only be unfolded in front of a green screen. Everyone knows that it is not easy to let a person in the studio and show it in a special scene.

How do you make a person walk in the studio as if they are about to become dehydrated? How do you make a person look up at a camera light and be as frightened as if they have seen the world pattern? How to make a person look unbearable from the bottom of his heart when looking at a large green curtain? These aspects are the problems of film shooting now.

Technology can progress, but no matter how advanced technology is, if there is not enough acting skills, it is not enough to show those scenes.

As a simple example, a severed limb is a shot. Under the current technology, as long as you put on a cover of different colors, you can remove the limbs from the lens when shooting, and there is no difficulty in such shooting. However, for actors, how easy is it to perform the demeanor of a disabled person? Imbalances caused by physical impairments of people with disabilities, psychological inferiority and self-esteem. These aspects. But they all need to be performed by normal people.

Not to mention, some of the more difficult scenarios. For example, in Men in Black 3, there is a section where he holds an alien head, talks to it, and even uses an alien head to bowl. It looks wonderful. But it's really in the hands of the actors. It's nothing but a volleyball. How to be happy and sad about this volleyball performance? That's acting.

And for another example, the scene of the movie Life Pi can be said to be great, but. The place where it was really filmed was a swimming pool, and those scenes had to be played by the actors themselves. And at the shooting site, there was no tiger, and what was lying on the boat was just a rag doll, how could it show the communication between humans and tigers with a rag doll? It's also acting.

Film technology can be advanced, but for actors, it is also a test of imagination.

Fortunately, this kind of performance is not something that no one has tried. In fact, as early as the 70s, Hollywood began to use this kind of training. It's funny to say that the two of them are funny, but it also started in the superhero movie - no matter which generation of Superman performs flying, he is actually hung by a rope, and then there is a person in front of him who is holding a blower and starts blowing...... It seems that this scene is very funny, but what is needed on the faces of superpeople is a righteous face.

And in this movie, it is also this kind of acting that needs to be shown. In order to let the actors better understand this kind of acting skills, Michael also specially found a teacher from an acting school to train in this area.

This kind of training, in his opinion, is very effective and meaningful. And Levi also expressed his support for this, but not everyone in the crew was happy. Adjani, for example, is dismissive of this.

Adjani said it was best not to disturb her. She wants to better analyze the state of the characters, analyze the psychology and thoughts of the characters, and during this time, she hopes that she can immerse herself in the characters, so she does not guarantee that anyone who bothers her will be polite. ”

Among the leading actors, the most arrogant personality is Isabella. Adjani. Since joining the crew, although she occasionally analyzes her own role with others, or discusses with others how to act in her own play, more often than not, she is immersed in her own role by herself, analyzing her own role, and does not communicate with others.

The character she plays in the play is a character with some self-destructive tendencies, even some anti-human tendencies, this person began to hate all mankind because of persecution, knowing that aliens are not necessarily better, but he is self-deceiving and wants aliens to invade. However, although she had this thought in her heart, on the surface, she was still a dignified old lady, and everyone who saw her was also overwhelmed by her demeanor. Such a person can be said to be a jealous and distorted person, if such a person points out that it is now in the movie, it is naturally very profound, but now Adjani analyzes her character state, even outside the play, she likes to imitate her psychology from time to time, which is more troublesome.

Who likes to have an old madman by their side? No matter how well she simulates it, people will only feel awkward.

And, that's not all. The most important thing is that this actor likes to make his own decisions too much when acting.

For other actors, they may ask the director to add scenes to themselves, think that their lines are not good, and discuss with the director to modify them, but her temper does not do these things at all. When performing, she thinks how good she is, she will perform as she wants, and as for not matching the script - that is the problem of the screenwriter needing to change the script.

Every script is written, it must be filed with the screenwriters' union, and when the director is filming, if he wants to change the script, he has to report to the screenwriters' union - this practice is to protect the interests of the screenwriters, otherwise, the director tamperes with it at will, and the screenwriters' original intentions are all lost, and even if it is deleted a lot, it may not be able to get the dividends they deserve, and the screenwriters do not approve of such damage to reputation and interests.

If it's an ordinary actor, even if he has his own opinion, he will take it out and direct it. The screenwriter discussed that if the director and screenwriter can approve of it, then he will come according to his own wishes.

However, for Adjani, she didn't care about any of that at all. She analyzed the characters by herself, and after analyzing them, she thought that she should add an action and add a line, so she changed it herself, what to discuss. What to discuss. She doesn't do it at all. What she thinks is right is right, and since she is performing, then she does everything to her liking.

It is undeniable that she is in such a state of performance that is completely integrated into the play. Make her performance look perfect. There is a mental disorder in that way. has a tendency to self-destruct, but maintains a dignified demeanor in front of people, and she simulates it very well. Even. Even where she changed the script, after thinking about it, it can be said to make sense. However, what makes people more troublesome is that her character, who is resident in the crew, really makes people in the same crew feel awkward.

With such a person who does his own thing, the pressure is naturally very high when cooperating.

"I originally thought that Dai Lewis dumped her, because Dai Lewis was stupid, and let such a superb beauty go, and went to marry an old man. But now, I don't think it's necessarily Dai Lewis's problem......"

After staying in the crew for a few days, Michael began to complain about Adjani's style. Many directors accused Adjani of being a madman after working with her, but although Michael didn't say so, he was also a little dissatisfied with her own style.

It stands to reason that she is 47 years old and has been acting in movies for 30 years, and she should be very clear about these rules for filming. However, she didn't seem to care about these rules at all. This gave Michael a headache, if it weren't for the fact that she was really too beautiful and amazing, Michael even wondered how this woman was mixed up?

"Actually, if you really talk about this aspect, Dai Lewis may not be much better, the personalities of the two of them are actually the same, they are both drama idiots, and they both live in their own world. When they are not acting, they don't regard themselves as stars at all, they can do whatever they want, take their children to the street to buy groceries, or open a shoe store to sell shoes, they do it all, anyway, they just want to live happily. And when acting, he completely integrates into the role, completely ignores the feelings of the people around him, and even if he is addicted to drama - their personalities are actually very close, so they came together, but, it turns out that it is a bit difficult for such two people with the same personality to live together. ”

For this lace of the year, Levy is not good at commenting. Dai Lewis abandoned his wife with a telegram, which is indeed a bit of a scumbag, but it is really unimaginable how such two drama maniacs live together. Unlike Adjani's wayward self, Dai Lewis at least longed for a normal life, so when he met the daughter of his favorite writer, he abandoned Adjani.

And thinking of these, Levi is actually a little curious in his heart: Farewell My Concubine, the overlord of the year, participated in the Cannes evaluation, and Adjani, as the chairman of the jury, was quite dissatisfied with this movie, perhaps, in her eyes, the tragic life of this movie is a kind of irony of her life, right?

"I know there's something wrong with her personality, but if I think I can tolerate it, I'll put up with it. She just has a bad temper, and she didn't make any strange requests, this is an argument about the play, and if you can accept it, accept it. For her character, Levy actually has a headache, but thinking about her talent and acting skills, Levy endures it.

Having your own opinion on performance is always a manifestation of ability and seriousness. Levy has always supported the actors to express their opinions, and will not put up with Adjani because of her bad personality.

It's easy to suppress her opinions, but it's not easy for her to perform well without giving her opinions. An actor with such beauty and acting skills, his personality is a little worse, and he can bear it.

"And, fortunately, isn't she the only one who likes to be so willful and reckless in our movies? Since there is only one person, it is better to endure it. ”

Levy convinces Michael to accept this fact.

And there is a certain reason why Levy said this. In this movie, there is more than one actor. If Adjani's character is extremely willful, then Washington's character can be said to make Levy very satisfied.

Washington proved with his acting skills and that he is worthy of being a person who has reached the level of an actor, and he is indeed a talented actor. (To be continued......)
